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 BFRT cuff and motor/pump unit and a method for exercising using said cuff. The method incudes providing a BFRT cuff and a motor/pump unit, placing the BFRT cuff on a user's limb, connecting the BFRT cuff to the motor/pump unit, selecting a pressure value or percent of limb occlusion pressure (LOP), causing the motor/pump unit to supply air to the BFRT cuff until the LOP of said limb is obtained, terminating air flow to the BFRT cuff and then reducing the pressure in the BFRT cuff, and exercising the user's limb while the BFRT cuff is at a selected pressure or a selected percent of LOP.

An apparatus is provided for massaging having a body with a handle and a distal end, and a rigid support movably attached to the body and having a surface. The apparatus is sized to contact the user between the distal end and the surface. The user may then adjust the a force by moving the handle relative to the surface to apply a force to the user's body.

A method for applying focused pressure to a target vessel to restrict blood steal from the hand associated with the fistula. The target vein is treated with intermittent pressure multiple times a day to force blood into the hand by restricting blood flow through the fistula. The treatment is produced through a vein compression device having an inflatable bladder.

A garment for providing circulatory-related disorder therapy includes a skin contacting layer, a backing layer, and a coupling. The backing layer is coupled to the skin contacting layer such that the skin contacting layer and the backing layer form a plurality of macro-chambers. A first one of the plurality of macro-chambers is partitioned into a plurality of micro-chambers. Each of the plurality of micro-chambers is in direct fluid communication with at least one other of the plurality of micro-chambers. The coupling is coupled to the backing layer and is configured to supply pressurized air directly into the first macro-chamber such that the pressurized air is delivered to a first one of the plurality of micro-chambers of the first macro-chamber.

An intermittent compression system for veno-lymphatic care of at least one limb of a person to be treated comprising: an inelastic inflatable garment having at least one independent inflatable chamber, an inflator, in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber, at least one pressure regulator, to control the inflating pressure of the inflatable chambers, the system comprising at least one flowmeter, adapted to be in fluid communication with at least one of the garment chambers.

A wearable focal vibration device for providing vibration therapy to a patient includes a control module, a vibration module and a vibration sensor. The vibration module is configured to output a vibration in response to a command signal from the control module. The vibration sensor is configured to output a signal to the control module representative of the vibration measured by the vibration sensor. The wearable focal vibration device may also include a harness for attaching the wearable focal vibration device to the patient. The harness can include a compression mechanism and a compression sensor for ensuring that the focal vibration device is sufficiently and consistently secured to the patient.

A fascia tissue fitness device may include a structural member, at least one fascia tissue treatment element configured to be moved relative to the structural member, a translation member supported by the structural member onto which the at least one treatment element is affixed, and an actuator coupled to the translation member. The actuator may be configured to cause the translation member to repeatedly move back and forth relative to the structural member such that the at least one fascia tissue treatment element moves back and forth to treat fascia tissue of a user. A pressure sensor may be configured to sense pressure being applied to a user by the at least one fascia tissue treatment element.

A wearable thermometer patch for monitoring healing of a wound on a user's skin includes a circuit substrate comprising an electric circuit and a plurality of temperature probe units distributed in a two-dimensional array. Each of the plurality of temperature probe units can include a temperature sensor in electric connection with the electric circuit in the circuit substrate. The plurality of temperature probe units can measure temperature values on a user's skin at different positions defined by the two-dimensional array.

An upper limb training system adapted to an upper limb of a user includes a main body and a control unit. The main body includes a training unit and a plurality of motors. The training unit is connected to the upper limb. The plurality of motors are coupled to the training unit. The control unit is electrically connected to the training unit and the plurality of motors and calculates a plurality of torque intervals respectively corresponding to the plurality of motors according to torques generated by each of the plurality of motors. Besides, a control method adapted to the upper limb training system is also provided.
