The disclosure pertains to methods and devices for administering a vibration expulsion therapy (VET) to a subject to expulse a urinary stone. The method comprises circumferentially administering vibrations to a subject's torso to facilitate movement of a urinary stone through the urinary system or to alleviate pain associated with a urinary stone. In certain embodiments, the method comprises circumferentially administering vibrations to a subject via a vest configured to envelope and tightly fit contours on the subject's torso, particular, the subject's lower torso and cover the subject's kidneys, ureter, and/or urinary bladder. Further provided is a system comprising a processor and a computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to actuate a vest placed on the subject's torso to circumferentially administer vibrations to the subject's torso or a portion thereof.

An air pocket-type massage device is provided. The device can include: a bed unit (100) which is for supporting parts of the body of a user; a massage module (200) which is disposed on the bed unit (100) and includes a plurality of air pockets; and a position adjuster (300) which is provided on the bed unit (100) and enables changing of the position of the massage module (200).

A therapeutic device for treating one or more conditions associated with a user's nasal cavities, sinuses, and/or ear canals includes a vibration generator having an acoustic device operable to provide a sound; a seal configured to cover a nose, but not a mouth, of the user to form an air-tight chamber around the nose of the user; the vibration generator disposed in a housing connected to the seal; and a stand extending from the housing and including a ball bearing and a seat on which the ball bearing may rest, the stand including a hollow member and an orifice, the orifice disposed in the seat. The vibration generator provides the sound directly to the nose of the user. A positive pressure is created in the air-tight chamber when the user exhales, the positive pressure generating a lift force to lift the ball bearing from the seat.

A patient support for supporting a patient includes an inflatable mattress defining a support surface and a pneumatic system for inflating the inflatable mattress. The pneumatic system includes a pressurized reservoir for holding pressurized air and selectively releases pressurized air from the reservoir to the mattress.

Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.

A shaking device includes at least one pad, a mover configured to reciprocally move the pad, and a mount configured to support the mover. The shaking device may be connected with a medical device using a feedback system. The shaking device may be configured to change settings based on readings from the feedback system.
