A hydrotherapy apparatus (1) comprises a tank (10); a conveyer (30) with a conveyer frame (34) and drum (38) mounted within the tank (10), and an actuator (200) comprising: a guide (202) mounted on an end region of the conveyer frame (34), the guide (202) comprising a first portion (202a) and a second portion (202b) angled downwards with respect to, and closer to the drum (36) than, the first portion; a glider (204) arranged to be received by the guide (202); and an actuator shaft (208) arranged to move the glider (204). The conveyer (30) is arranged to be rotated around the axis of the drum (36) by the actuator shaft (208) moving the glider (204) along the guide (202). The hydrotherapy apparatus (1) may comprise a lifting arm (80) rotatably connected to the conveyer frame (32), at a position spaced from the drum (36), at a first end region of the lifting arm (80), and arranged to be driven by the actuator (200) so as to rotate the conveyer (30) further.

A hydrotherapy apparatus comprises a tank, the tank comprising a panel arranged to form a wall of the tank, and an inner frame arranged to have the panel mechanically fixed to an outer side thereof, without bonding, so as to form a watertight seal. The inner frame may comprise a lower portion in a base region of the tank and two struts extending upward therefrom. The tank may further comprise a lower fixing section arranged to be mechanically connected to an outer surface of the lower portion of the inner frame, with a lower edge region of the panel therebetween, and two side fixing sections extending upward and each arranged to be mechanically connected to an outer surface of a respective strut of the struts of the inner frame, with a respective side edge region of the panel therebetween.

An ice bath having a receptacle section and a temperature control element adjacent thereto and arranged to adjust the temperature of the receptable section. The temperature control element is connected to a refrigeration module that reduces the temperature of the receptacle. The temperature control element is further connected to a heating module that increases the temperature of the receptacle.

A device for therapy or exercise includes a frame, a base at least partially supporting and extending from the frame, a user support moveably coupled to the base and positioned adjacent the frame, a foot crank system coupled to the frame, a hand crank system coupled to the frame, and a motor coupled to at least one of the foot crank system and the hand crank system. The motor selectively powers the foot crank system and the hand crank system and is operable in an active mode and a passive mode.

A handheld acoustic shock wave or pressure pulse applicator device has a body structure and an applicator head. The body structure has a proximal end and a distal end with a longitudinal axis extending between the ends. The applicator head is at the distal end. the head emits pressure pulses or shock waves at an inclined angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the body structure. The applicator head has a balloon or lens or membrane through which the emitted pressure pulses or shock waves pass. The lens or membrane is configured to be coupled directly or indirectly to an exposed soft tissue surface of a palate inside a patient's mouth to direct emitted pressure pulses or shock waves to the brain. The applicator device can be configured with the inclined obtuse angle fixed between 150 degrees and 90 degrees or can be adjustable between 180 degrees and 90 degrees.

A wearable safety system for either diving, harsh or anoxic environments, or for individuals at high risk for respiratory and/or cardiac failure is disclosed. The wearable safety system includes biometric monitoring and provides cardiac and/or respiratory support in the event that the wearer experiences cardiac and/or respiratory failure. There are different configurations of the wearable safety system designed to work with different use cases, and to provide different levels of protection. In the case of diving, the wearable safety system additionally utilizes data collected by the dive computer to advise a rescue diver as to the best course of action in managing an unconscious diver's ascent and can also inflate the diver's buoyancy control device (BCD) or onboard personal flotation device.

This invention relates to a portable bath and hydrotherapy apparatus, utilizing an electric or a battery-operated motor. More particularly, the invention relates to a portable hydrotherapy unit which can be used in conjunction with a bathtub or with other open-topped bodies adapted to be partially filled with a supply of liquid. The improved resultant of the present invention is the utilization of such a motor for hydrotherapy purposes whereby the unit re-circulates the water of the bathtub.

A soaking chair comprising: a bucket seat comprising a seat back, a seat surface, and two armrests; and a support structure; wherein the chair is suitable for use in a shower; and wherein the seat surface comprises a reservoir and a moveable dam panel.

A therapeutic flotation device and a therapeutic method of use thereof is disclosed. The device includes a plurality of buoyant float elements and a member (an elongated web strap) that couples each of the buoyant float elements such that the buoyant float elements are serially aligned along the member. A first end of the member is secured to a second end of the member. A mating mechanism, such as a buckle, secures the first end of the member to the second end of the member, or the two ends of the member may be permanently secured to each other using an adhesive or by being sewn together. Each of the buoyant float elements has a center aperture aligned along the center of a cross-section thereof. The member is preferably coupled to each of the buoyant float elements by being sequentially passed through the center apertures of each buoyant float element.

A water jet assembly includes a faceplate with at least one opening, a housing constructed to cooperate with the faceplate, and a mover disposed within a chamber of the housing. The mover is configured to move between a first position adjacent the at least one opening of the face plate and a second position offset from the faceplate to provide a variable volume within the chamber. The water jet assembly also includes an exciter connected to the housing and configured to transition the mover between the first position and the second position to increase and decrease the volume to move fluid into and out of the chamber via the at least one opening.
