20230310268 · 2023-10-05 ·

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a treatment pen, a main machine, and a limb pain treatment instrument. The treatment pen comprises: a pen rod and a pen cap detachably connected to a distal end of the pen rod, a treatment needle is mounted in the pen rod after the pen cap is detached, a switch button is provided on a surface of the pen rod; a needle tube of the treatment needle extends out of a distal end of the pen cap, a vibrator that can be controlled by the switch button to start and stop is provided inside the pen rod; the vibrator is configured to, when started, transmit physical kinetic energy corresponding to a vibration prescription signal to the treatment needle intervened into a lesion site.

Muscle optimization device and method

A device and method are provided for therapy and treatment of biological tissue such as muscle, tendon, and ligament tissue, by use of a device and method in which therapeutic vibrational frequency resonance patterns are transmitted to tissues of a patient. The resonance frequencies originate from many resonance domains, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and fatty acids. Each domain includes therapeutic frequency resonance patterns. These resonance patterns may be passively excited and transmitted to a patient to enhance tissue function, to decrease the normal rehabilitation time of damaged tissue, and provide therapeutic benefits for muscle tissue dysfunction. Therapeutic frequency resonance patterns may also be actively excited by a delivery mechanism that uses electromagnetic or mechanical waves to interact with the device. The actively excited device transmits the therapeutic frequency resonance patterns to the patients for similar enhancements and therapeutic benefits.

Switchable vibration modal ultrasonic device and method based on same

A device and a method for switchable vibration modal ultrasonic are provided. The device includes a hollow shaft, an ultrasonic motor, a limit shell, an electromagnet, a moving tool head, a vibration source and a tool head. The structure design of the ultrasonic motor, the magnetostrictive materials and the drive coil combination of different functions are configured so that, without changing the condition of components, the ultrasonic can switch mode, namely the longitudinal vibration, torsional vibration, and longitudinal and torsional vibration in three different vibration modes. During the operation of the device, different vibration modes are excited without changing the parts, which meets the machining requirements of different vibration forms. Meanwhile, the operation is more convenient and faster, and the overall design structure of the device ensures the efficient and safe operation of the device.

11419545 · 2022-08-23 · ·

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.
