INERTIAL PERCUSSION MASSAGER
Disclosed is an inertial percussion massager, including a percussion body provided with a free end and a drive end, a drive assembly, a drive strategy assembly, and a percussive massage portion arranged at the free end and configured to act on a target massage area in an impact manner to produce a percussive massage effect. The drive end is connected to the drive assembly. The drive strategy assembly is configured to control a motion strategy of the drive assembly and drive the free end of the percussion body to move at a frequency f. The frequency f is not less than 10 Hz. An inertia-based impact mechanism enables generation of a peak impact force stronger than that from traditional non-inertial percussion or pure vibration massage and facilitates more effective energy transfer even under same driving power, by optimizing mass distribution of the percussion body and/or increasing motion velocity.
METHOD AND SYSTEM OF MECHANICAL NERVE STIMULATION FOR PAIN RELIEF
A system and method of using a lead introduced to a subject proximate to a region of pain is contemplated to deliver pain relief without the need for multiple needle insertions or electrical stimulation. The three-dimensional lead may include spring-like characteristics and/or coils to translate mechanical energy into the therapy.
CANE THAT SERVES AS MASSAGER
A cane also serves as a massager, including: a cane head, which includes a grip portion and an inserting and joining portion, the grip portion being gripped and held by a hand of a user, the inserting and joining portion having one end connected to one side of the grip portion, a free end of the inserting and joining portion including a massage sphere; a cane body, the inserting and joining portion of the cane head being mounted, in a detachable manner, in an interior of a top end of the cane body; and a support base, which is mounted, in a detachable manner, to a bottom end of the cane body for supporting on ground. When the cane head and the cane body are detached, the massage sphere can be used by the user to serve as a tool for massaging the body to thereby enhance convenience of use.
COMMUNICATION DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A device includes a body, a generator configured to be releasably secured to the body, and a resilient element. The body houses a power source, a processing unit, and a bus including an electrical connector. The generator at least partially includes an impact generator element and a heat generator element, the impact generator element and the heat generator element being independently operable to convert electricity into an impact energy and a heat flux, respectively, and to communicate the impact energy and the heat flux toward an area of skin. The impact generator element includes a drive mechanism, a piston, and a tissue contact surface that is linearly actuatable along an axis. The generator further includes one or more electrical conductors engageable with the electrical connector when the generator is secured to the body to provide at least one electrical pathway from the power source to the generator.
Percussive therapy device with electrically connected attachment
A percussive therapy system includes a percussive therapy device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, and an attachment configured to be operatively connected to a distal end of the push rod assembly of the percussive massage device and to provide at least one therapeutic effect to a user. The attachment may include at least one of an actuator configured to provide the at least one therapeutic effect to the user and a sensor configured to obtain at least one of biometric data of the user and information regarding operation of the percussive therapy device.

FOOT PHYSIOTHERAPY DEVICE
The present disclosure includes a foot physiotherapy device, which relates to the field of physiotherapy tools. The foot physiotherapy device includes a support structure and at least two physiotherapy tools, wherein the support structure includes a first support holder and a second support holder arranged opposite each other, the first support holder being provided with a first arrangement surface and at least two first support surfaces, and the second support holder being provided with a second arrangement surface and at least two second support surfaces; and each of the physiotherapy tools has one end arranged on the first arrangement surface, and the other end thereof is arranged on the second arrangement surface. In this way, different physiotherapy functions are achieved.
PERCUSSIVE THERAPY DEVICE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE MODULES
A percussive therapy device includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor. A massage attachment is removably received on a distal end of the push rod assembly at a first location. The percussive therapy device also includes an attachment module associated with the housing of the percussive therapy device at a second location. The second location is different than the first location. The attachment module is configured to provide an active effect.
Multi-Axis Massage Gun
A handheld motorized massage gun is disclosed that combines the percussive action of conventional percussive-type massage guns with muscle stretching action of rolling element massage devices. The self-powered, self-standing device orbits a massage roller along a circular path about a virtual axis which induces both percussive forces and stretching forces along the axis of the target muscle fibers. The roller suspension of the device facilitates two operating modes that allow the device to be operated in a stationary position or with traversing motion for the purpose of treating cellulite and/or providing muscle rehabilitation.
