A light emitting module and massage device provide vaginal rejuvenation. The device exposes collagen in the vaginal area or mucosa to temperatures elevated over normal body temperature to cause the collagen to reversibly or irreversibly denature while simultaneously applying vibration. Once thermally-induced collagen denaturation has occurred, both neoelastogenesis and neocollagenesis may occur and may be initiated with fibroblast proliferation, which may be promoted with vibration. Neofibrogenesis also occurs due to the fibroblastic activity, responsible for secretion of new collagen matrix to effect tissue repair. Thus, the device exploits thermally-induced collagen denaturation and repair along with simultaneous vibration to improve tissue tone, connective tissue tension and bulk tissue regeneration.

In an embodiment, a nerve stimulation earpiece includes an ear canal insert, and a concha insert. The canal insert fits into an ear canal of a subject. The canal insert includes a first electrode configured to electrically contact skin within the ear canal of the subject. The concha insert fits within a concha of the subject. The concha insert includes a base portion that fits within the cavum of the concha of the subject, a wing portion that fits within the cymba of the concha of the subject, and at least one second electrode configured to electrically contact at least a portion of the concha. The earpiece includes a first electrical connector for connecting the first electrode on the canal insert to a first electrical current source, and a second electrical connector for connecting the second electrode on the concha insert to a second electrical current source.

A pressure controller for a fluidic bladder has in sequence a pump, a first fluid line, a supply pressure sensor, a second fluid line, a bladder having an inlet coupled to the second fluid line, a bladder outlet coupled to a third fluid line of substantially equal length to the second fluid line, a return pressure sensor, and a fourth fluid line coupled to the return pressure sensor and returning fluid from the pump to the reservoir. A pressure estimate is formed by establishing the second fluid line length and inner diameter as the same as the third fluid line length and inner diameter, and forming the pressure estimate by averaging the supply pressure and return pressure. The pressure controller receives a setpoint pressure as a command and data over a wireless channel, and computes a head pressure offset by turning the pump off and measuring the supply and return pressures.

A remotely controlled powered chair may include a support frame, a seat pivotally mounted on the support frame, an rotary actuator mounted between the support frame and the seat to drive the seat to move relative to the support frame, a backrest pivotally mounted on the seat, and a linear actuator mounted between the seat and the backrest to drive the backrest to move relative to the seat. Thus, the rotary actuator may be controlled by an electrically control device to drive the seat to pivot relative to the support frame reciprocally in a pendulum manner so that the seat is pivoted relative to the support frame automatically. In addition, the linear actuator may be controlled by the electrically control device to adjust the inclined angle of the backrest so as to provide a comfortable sensation to the user. A remotely controlled powered chair may include a base assembly. A chair frame is supported on the base assembly. An actuator mechanism may communicate with the base assembly and the chair frame, and is operable to actuate the chair frame between first and second positions.

A wearable haptic device includes: a garment for wearing on a user; a set of electronic elements attached to the garment. The electronic elements include a set of haptic elements; a control receptacle attached to the garment and communicatively connected to the electronic elements; and a control module removably connectable to the control receptacle, the control module configured for controlling the haptic elements, said controlling by the control module comprising generating haptic feedback from the haptic elements to the user. The control module is removable from the control receptacle and replaceable with another control module.

A compression garment apparatus for a body part of an human and/or animal having a flexible backing, attaching means, a segmented flex frame, and a shape memory alloy on the segmented flex frame. The shape memory alloy can be connected to two terminals on the frame forming a circuit. A controller can be connected to the terminals applying current to the shape memory alloy at defined intervals providing intermittent, sequenced, or continuous compression therapy.

Articles (10) that are wearable for muscle therapy are provided. The articles (10) are compression garments and/or have compression sections (12) that can house a trigger object (14). The trigger object (14) rests on a trigger point between the compression section (12) and the individual's targeted muscle. When an individual wears the article (10), the trigger object (14) acts upon the trigger point and provides myofascial tissue release in the targeted area. The trigger objects (14) can be varied with respect to material, consistency, size, temperature and vibration. Methods for using the articles are also provided.

A breast massager includes a housing. The housing includes a first contact surface and a second contact surface for applying the treatment function to the breast; the first contact surface includes a first treatment portion, and the second contact surface includes a second treatment portion; at least one of the first treatment portion and the second treatment portion is a cold compress treatment portion for applying a cold compress treatment to the breast. The first contact surface and the second contact surface are provided in two different directions of the housing, so that the first treatment portion and the second treatment portion do not interfere with each other when they apply the treatment function to the breast simultaneously.
