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.

A motion assistance apparatus includes a waist frame configured to support a waist of a user, and a proximal support configured to support a proximal part of the user. A pressure applied to a thigh of the user by the proximal support in a sitting state in which the user is sitting may be greater than a pressure applied to the thigh of the user by the proximal support in a standing state in which the user is standing upright.

A system and method of using a lead introduced to a subject proximate to a region of pain is contemplated to deliver pain relief without the need for multiple needle insertions or electrical stimulation. The three-dimensional lead may include spring-like characteristics and/or coils to translate mechanical energy into the therapy.

An animal mobility device to be used with an animal who lacks full functional use of its rear legs, providing the animal with two modes of operation, with the first mode of operation being active, whereby the animal propels itself by its front legs while having its rear portion supported by the device, and with the second mode of operation being passive, whereby a human operator propels the device while the entirety of the animal is supported by the device.

A vibration appliance includes a vibration-isolation structure which substantially reduces vibration felt by the user at the handle. The vibration motor is mounted to a vibration plate which carries the massage node. The vibration plate floats within the vibration appliance housing, being suspended by a flexible, elastomer membrane having contours such as curves or folds in it that provide freedom of movement of the vibration plate relative to the housing to which the flexible membrane is mounted. This arrangement can be thought of as the motor and vibration node being mounted on a flexible diaphragm that can move freely as if mounted to the housing by a bellows-like arrangement.

Shockwaves or modulated pressure waves are applied to targeted lung tissue of humans or animals, including lung tissue having a viral or bacterial infection or a chronic lung condition, to destroy or render innocuous different pathogens and treat the underlying chronic or acute medical conditions.

A sliding assembly may include a supporting frame having a proximal end and a distal end, a sliding frame partially inserted to the supporting frame, and a supporting member disposed between the supporting frame and the sliding frame to prevent the supporting frame from directly contacting the sliding frame, wherein the sliding frame is configured to move relative to the supporting frame.

The internal massager consists of a massage ball, a rod, a protecting cover and a handle. The preparation of the internal massager includes: welding the massage ball to one end of the rod first, tightly connecting the other end of the rod with the protecting cover, and then welding the handle to the side of the protecting cover away from the rod, thereby to produce an internal massager; the internal massager massages and stimulates the throat, esophagus, and rectocolic surfaces, which promotes the local or systemic nervous-humoral reactions, improves the immune function of the body, and promotes the recovery of chronic diseases and physical weakness. The internal massager provided by the present invention has a simple preparation method, and the prepared internal massager has a wide range of application, significantly stimulatory effects in vivo, and therefore it has promoting effects on the recovery of chronic diseases and physical weakness.
