An apparatus for use in massage comprises an extended structural support element, at least one massage member and two gripping members, which two gripping members are laterally disposed on the structural support element relative to one another. It is configured such that a user in a standing position with their arms at rest by their sides may grip the two gripping members, when the support structure is disposed behind them, and manipulate the apparatus to massage a position on their back. The apparatus enables a user to independently massage their back to relieve pain and/or tension or to relax, while maintaining a neutral body position and without inordinately straining or twisting any area of their body to impart a massaging force on their back.

A medical apparatus for performing electroacupuncture for treatment of traumatic brain injury and cerebral thrombosis is disclosed. The device comprising a 6-DOF (Degree of freedom) Robotic arm, a multi-functional tool tip, an acupuncture friendly MRI helmet and a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The Acupuncture Robot is able to operate with certain needles automatically by inserting a needle, turning, or shaking in certain frequency ranges and apply electrical stimulation to enhance the effects.

In one embodiment, the device delivers energy in a non-invasive manner. In one embodiment, the device is configured to include an energy pin and one or more energy rings. In one embodiment, the device delivers sufficient energy to certain body parts such as acupoints to achieve an intervening and/or therapeutic effect. In one embodiment, the device can maintain or improve general health, or can alleviate or treat a subject with COVID-19 infection and one or more other conditions. In one embodiment, the present invention also discloses a system comprising the device and uses thereof.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for reducing a risk of unintentional falls in a subject that is at risk for falls. The device includes a sensor and a stimulator. The sensor is configured to be positioned adjacent a body portion of the user that changes orientation when the user sits and stands. The sensor is also configured to emit an activation signal when the user stands and to emit a deactivation signal when the user sits or lies down. The stimulator is in communication with the sensor and is configured to be positioned adjacent one of a calf and a lower back of the user. The stimulator is configured to vibrate at a frequency that stimulates proprioceptors of the user without inducing muscle contractions upon receipt of the activation signal from the sensor and to cease vibration upon receipt of the deactivation signal from the sensor.

A health care device and a health care method are illustrated, the health care method is used to arrange the health care device at a predetermined location in front of a belly button of a user with a predetermined distance, and to emit the low-frequency wave with a predetermined frequency to the belly button by using a low-frequency wave emitter. The health care device is formed by the low-frequency wave emitter and a cone/pyramid part. The predetermined frequency is 1.27 Hz to 1.81 Hz, and the predetermined distance is 5 cm to 8 cm. The above health care device and method can increase contents of active T cells and B cells in blood and increase an ability of NK cell strains for poisoning cancer cell strains (K562). In short, the above health care device and method have health benefits without a risk of excessive energy causing harm.

Energy stimulated acupuncture, directed to a novel set of acupoints, is implemented to treat hypertension. The disclosed methods and systems are directed toward the application of electrical stimulation, or other forms of energy, to specific acupuncture points, using devices such as transcutaneous electrical stimulation electroacupuncture devices, laser acupuncture devices or ultrasound acupuncture devices, to treat hypertension, particularly in middle-aged women.

A device for magnetic stimulation of body regions, including at least one magnetic coil connected to a stimulator which has a power element for generating electrical impulses to be applied to the at least one magnetic coil, so that the generated magnetic field can be induced in the body region, wherein a detection unit is provided for detecting metal elements within the body region. A measuring device is provided for detecting the electrical power received by the magnetic coil and a comparison device is provided for comparing the power with a predetermined limit value, the detection unit is connected to the stimulator, and the comparison unit is designed to automatically switch off the stimulator or reduce the power of the stimulator or of the power element of the stimulator in the event of the predetermined limit value being exceeded.

A handheld device for applying mechanical vibration to a body portion of an individual to treat a dry eye condition of the individual, includes: a housing; a member having a first portion accommodated in the housing, and a second portion that is moveable relative to the housing, wherein the second portion is for placement outside the individual, and is configured to oscillate to apply the mechanical vibration to the body portion, the member having an elongated configuration; and a motor in the housing, the motor configured to oscillate the member at an oscillation frequency sufficient to induce tear production when the second portion of the member is applied towards a surface of the body portion.
