A METHOD OF CORRECTING THE PREDICTED ACUPUNCTURE POINT POSITION AND A MASSAGE CHAIR TO DO THIS
A method for correcting a massage position and a massage chair for performing the same includes allowing a shoulder height measurement module to measure a shoulder height of a user, allowing a hip bone position prediction module to predict a hip bone position through a preset prediction method by using the shoulder height measured by the shoulder height measurement module, allowing a massage position determination module to determine a plurality of determination massage positions and a plurality of correction massage positions spaced from the determination massage positions by a predetermined distance on the basis of the hip bone position predicted by the hip bone position prediction module, and allowing a massage ball assembly control module to control a massage ball assembly so as to massage the determination massage positions and the correction massage positions determined by the massage position determination module.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A SPRING FORCE EXERTED ON A SENSOR FOR OBTAINING BIO-CONDUCTANCE READINGS USING A LINEAR ACTUATOR
A probe device provides an enhanced bioelectric and spring-loaded sensing tip with an integrated force sensor. The probe device measures the bioelectric conductance value from a patient for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purpose using the spring-loaded sensing tip. In addition, the probe device measures the force applied by the spring-loaded sensing tip against the patient using the integrated force sensor. Using feedback from the force sensor and the bioconductive data of the patient, the force applied at the spring-loaded sensing tip may be adjusted to obtain improved results.
GENTLE MASSAGE AND MYOFASCIAL RELEASE DEVICE
A massage device provides a gentle massage and myofascial release. The massage device comprises a first roller set and a second roller set that are configured so that the first roller set makes a first contact that displaces the tissue being massaged and, prior to the tissue returning to its natural state, the second roller makes a second contact with the tissue being massaged, thus providing a deeper, extended massage to the tissue. Also disclosed is an ergonomic handle for a massage device that also functions as a trigger point release tool.
Guiding means for administering acupuncture and other healing procedures
The invention is guiding means that are adapted to serve as guides to accurately locate specific locations on the body to be stimulated in order to prevent, diagnose, and treat specific types of diseases and other conditions in humans and animals. The invention includes specially modified and personalized articles of clothing and an apparatus for supporting an organ of a human or animal body adapted for accurately positioning and orienting the organ with respect to each other a device for administering the stimulation or the healing process. The apparatus and embodiments of the articles of clothing are adapted as stands that support devices used to apply stimulation to the location. The applied stimulation can be any of the therapies which depend on the application of energy or force to specific locations on the body.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING PRESSURE POINT MAPS BASED ON REMOTE-CONTROLLED HAPTIC-INTERACTIONS
System and method for providing remotely guided physical treatment are disclosed. A computing device is communicably coupled to a therapeutic robot and a remote guidance device. The computing device receives full-body images of a treatment subject. The computing device generates a plurality of key physical points for the treatment subject by identifying a three-dimensional human body template that corresponds to the shape and posture parameters of the treatment subject and fitting the identified first three-dimensional human body template to the full-body images of the treatment subject. The fitting causes adjustments to locations of the corresponding set of key physical points of the first three-dimensional human body template. The adjusted locations of the corresponding set of key physical points of the first three-dimensional human body template are provided to the guidance device as basis for a treatment procedure that is specified by the treatment guidance provider during the physical treatment session.

WEARABLE MAGNETIC PRESSURE POINT DEVICE
The wearable magnetic pressure point device disclosed herein may comprise, at least, a main body assembly, a strap assembly, a pressure point assembly, and a fluid disc. Such a device contemplates the use of resilient, flexible, and magnetic materials and is suitable for wearing. The purpose of the device is to allow a user to apply acupressure as needed, especially to the PC6 and TW5 locations around the wrist. The device is intended to be completely adjustable for different user needs, and resilient so that the device is resistant to weakening and a user may continue to apply consistent pressure over time. In certain embodiments the user may even apply pressure to the PC6 and TW5 locations simultaneously.
