A leg massager achieves easy changing of massaging positions and is also adaptable to user's legs of varying lengths by using a position-adjustable massaging system for performing massage on massage target areas of a user's legs. The leg massager includes a lower massaging system for massaging a massage target area of the user's leg including at least the user's foot; an upper massaging system for massaging an upper massage target area located above the massage target area which is massaged by the lower massaging system; a rockably supporting system that supports the upper massaging system for rocking motion about a horizontal-pointing axis in a front-rear direction; and a vertically moving system that permits up-and-down movement of the upper massaging system.

Disclosed herein is an artificial intelligence massage apparatus for determining a recommended massage setting including a communication modem, a driver comprising at least one motor, and a processor configured to receive, via the communication modem, identification information from a terminal of a user, identify the user using the received identification information, receive, via the communication modem, activity information of the identified user from the terminal or a health care server, determine a recommended massage setting in consideration of the received activity information and a massage setting log of the identified user, and control the driver based on the determined recommended massage setting.

Disclosed is a structure for therapeutic applications comprising at least one layer with sensor elements and heating elements. A first force affects the layer from one side and a second force affects the layer from the other side. The forces are detectable. The sensor elements can comprise, for example, position sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors.

A cold plasma system and method for treating a region of a biological surface is presented. In one embodiment, the system includes: a housing; an air conduit within the housing; a first electrode configured proximately along the air conduit; a second electrode configured proximately along the air conduit and opposite from the first electrode; and a source of alternating current (AC) electrically connected with the first electrode. The source of alternating current is configured to generate cold plasma in the air conduit.

An adjustably tensioned roller massage system provides a pair of roller massage assemblies in opposed adjustable tensioned or spaced relation to allow engagement of each one of a pair of roller massage assemblies on a corresponding massageable portion of a body.

A device used for applying an antiseptic preparation, such as an antibiotic solution or water, or all other substance deemed necessary in treating a wound prior to arrival at a hospital or other treatment facility or for continuing wound therapy and maintenance while hospitalized, in an out-patient facility or at home. A loose-fitting bag is provided which encloses the wound by securing the open end(s) to the patient by closing means. The bag further includes ports or resealable flaps that allow access to the wound for treatment and cleaning while containing all fluids resulting therefrom. A high friction scrub surface is provided in the bag. A method and apparatus are also provided for wound maintenance with a lavage system.

Provided are a method and a system for a massage apparatus-based user information transaction. According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a method for a massage apparatus-based user information transaction includes the steps of: inquiring whether a user gives prior-consent to provision of user information to the outside; if the user gives prior consent to the provision of user information to the outside, collecting, from the massage apparatus, user information including the user's biometric information, and storing same; providing the stored user information to a third party company server; calculating an amount of money to be paid to the user in accordance with the provision of the user information to the outside; and paying the calculated amount of money to the relevant user's account.

An apparatus for reducing symptoms associated with neuropathy such as pain or other sensation deficits and sensation dysfunction in the lower extremity of a patient includes a platform having a base and a top plate supported by the base and configured to allow a patient to place their feet thereon. A vibrational actuator is carried by the base and connected to the top plate and configured to vibrate the top plate when a patient stands thereon or while seated with their feet placed on top of the plate. A controller is connected to the vibrational actuator and configured to operate the vibrational actuator to impart a vibrating force to the top plate when a patient has their feet thereon and stimulate the Pacini corpuscles to impart a neurological feedback response that dilates blood vessels of the feet and legs.

A chair-type massage machine includes a main body on which a person to be treated is to be seated, a holding part at least part of which is placed inside a container recess to hold a first operation unit, and a moving mechanism for moving the holding part. The holding part is reciprocatably moved between a first position in which the first operation unit is contained in the container recess and a second position in which the first operation unit is exposed. The chair-type massage machine further includes a second operation unit for moving the holding part.

The present invention relates to a device for manipulating core body temperature of a human subject by convection and conduction, the device comprising: an open topped liquid carrier vessel adapted to receive a liquid, the liquid carrier vessel having an inlet and an outlet in the base thereof; a removable splash guard for covering the majority of the liquid carrier vessel opening and for resting thereon of a human extremity having an exposed glabrous skin surface; chiller means for cooling liquid received in the vessel and for maintaining the liquid at a predetermined temperature; a jet in the vessel inlet for discharging liquid, or a combination of liquid and air into the liquid carrier vessel; an air valve for controlling the amount of air flowing through the jet; a pump configured to suck liquid from the liquid carrier vessel via the vessel outlet into a suction side of the pump and propel liquid out of a pressure side of the pump into the liquid carrier vessel through the vessel inlet via the chiller means to create a jet stream within the liquid carrier vessel at the predetermined temperature; first conduit means interconnecting the vessel outlet with the suction side of the pump; second conduit means interconnecting the chiller means with the pressure side of the pump; third conduit means interconnecting the chiller means with the jet; and fourth conduit means interconnecting the jet with the air valve; wherein the splash guard is provided with an aperture to allow the jet stream to contact the exposed glabrous skin surface of the subject during operation of the device; and wherein when the splash guard is in place, the aperture is located directly above the jet.
