The present disclosure discloses a double-headed cross-reciprocating-swinging massage apparatus, which includes a pivoting shaft, a first massage head, a second massage head and a massage driving mechanism. A first end of the first massage head is rotatably connected to the pivoting shaft, and a first end of the second massage head is rotatably connected to the pivoting shaft. The massage driving mechanism is connected to the first end of the first massage head and the first end of the second massage head in a driving way respectively, making the massage driving mechanism be capable of driving the second end of the first massage head and the second end of the second massage head to reciprocally swing about a central axis of the pivoting shaft in a manner of moving towards or away from each other to generate a massage action.

A therapeutic safety shoe assembly for reducing foot fatigue includes a shoe that is wearable on a user's foot. The shoe has a sole, a heel and a toe, and a shield is integrated into the toe to protect the user's toes. A vibration unit is provided and the vibration unit is integrated into the shoe. The vibration unit vibrates the shoe when the vibration unit is turned on to massage the user's foot when the shoe is being worn. The vibration unit includes a heel element that is integrated into the heel of the shoe and the vibration unit includes a sole element that is integrated into the sole of the shoe.

Various embodiments of systems, devices, components, and methods for providing external therapeutic vibration stimulation to a patient are disclosed and described. Therapeutic vibration stimulation is provided to at least one location on or adjacent to a patient's skin (such as through clothing or a layer disposed next to the patient's skin), and is configured to trigger or induce resonance or high amplitude oscillations in a cardiovascular system of the patient. Inducing such resonance can aid in training autonomic reflexes and improve their functioning.

A device is described for delivering a therapeutic vibration to a body. The device may include at least two motors in a housing with unbalanced masses coupled to their axles, such that vibration of the masses causes the two motors and housing to vibrate at a beat frequency 80. The motors and housing may be coupled to the body via a platform which places the motors and housings at or near a resonant structure in the body, creating a coupled oscillation between the platform and the body. The vibration may be based on the input signal, such that the system applies the vibration based on the input signal to the user, wherein the signal may be an audio or video signal. The system may be configured to measure and manipulate the flow of cerebral spinal fluid.

In a first aspect, the invention relates to a mattress system comprising a mattress, a massage module, an electronic control, a wireless communication module and an electrical power supply. In particular, the controller may receive instructions from a mobile application running on a mobile device of a user, and wherein the controller is configured to control the massage module based on a time-varying course of a motor drive signal contained in the instructions. In further aspects, the invention further provides the use of said mattress system, and a method for controlling mattress systems.

Vibration based stimulation or pressure based stimulation are commonly employed in a wide range of devices for medical, therapeutic, and recreational activities. These are designed to be applied against a predetermined region of a user's body. However, there are many instances where it would beneficial to provide the user with a “wearable” device where these one or more predetermined regions of the user's body may be inserted through or disposed within the device providing vibratory and/or pressure based stimulation. Further, such devices may be augmented with other therapeutic means such as light therapy or ultrasonic therapy. Accordingly, a range of wearable devices exploiting hollow shaft motors, electromagnetic actuators, and fluidics are presented.

An electronic furniture assembly of the present invention includes: (i) a furniture assembly comprising: (A) a base (e.g., a seat portion), (B) at least one transverse or upright member (e.g., a side, armrest or backrest), and (ii) a speaker system mounted within one or more portions of the furniture assembly. A method of tuning a speaker of an audio-enhanced furniture system includes presenting a user with predetermined tuning profiles corresponding to a plurality of configuration footprint shapes in which the furniture assembly can be assembled and in response to a user selection of a given configuration footprint shape, tuning the speaker system according to the tuning profile selected by the user.

A massage device for a person's appendage includes a plurality of enclosures each comprising an outer surface and a hollow interior space having a control circuit, a power source such as a rechargeable battery, a vibration mechanism, and preferably at least one motor and a gear arrangement. Each enclosure includes at least one roller driven by the gear arrangement and the at least one motor. A plurality of connectors are each fixed between two adjacent enclosures to form a ring with the enclosures and the connectors. The connectors are adapted to contract or expand such that with the person's appendage fitted through the ring, the connectors are retracted until the rollers each contact the person's appendage to move the device along or about the person's appendage while the vibration mechanism massages the person's appendage.
