CERVICAL SPINE TRACTION DEVICE, EQUIPMENT AND METHOD
The present disclosure relates to a cervical spine traction device, equipment and method, wherein a built-in program code determines a cervical spine stretching force according to a sensed weight of a user. The cervical spine traction device has a main controller, a fixing unit, a movable unit and thermal massage units. By storing the program code in the main controller, the optimal traction data comprising a cervical spine stretching distance, the cervical spine stretching force and a cervical spine stretching time can be calculated according to the weight and height of the user lying down on the platform. Further, by sensing the temperature of the neck of the user and massaging the neck, the tension force of the neck muscle can be relaxed, the tightness of the user can be sufficiently eliminated, and the cervical spine of the user is corrected.
DYNAMIC SAUNA
Systems and methods are provided for controlling infrared radiation (IR) sources of a sauna including tuning IR wavelength-ranges and radiated power-levels of IR sources, and directing IR to locations on a user's body. In one illustrative embodiment, a sauna may be provided having adjustable IR emitters to emit IR at any wavelength resulting in a desirable radiation treatment for the sauna user. In another illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for tuning IR emitters in a sauna.
Support device
A blood flow stimulating device including a boot including a sole and an upper; a sock disposed within the boot; and a bladder disposed within or on the sock, wherein the bladder is configured to undergo repeated inflation and deflation so as to stimulate blood flow in a wearer of the blood flow stimulating device, wherein the sock further includes a toe region, a heel region and a raised portion between the toe region and the heel region that, in use, reduces the distance between the sock and a foot of a wearer of the blood flow stimulating device at the raised portion of the sock.
Compression Device
A wearable massage and/or compression device for applying controllable scrolling or intermittent sequential forces, such as compression forces, to the body and limbs of a user comprises an elongated fabric body sized to encircle a limb of a user, one or more shape-memory wires carried by the fabric body and configured to apply a compression pressure to the limb through the fabric body upon changing shape in response to a stimulus, and a micro-processor based controller for selectively actuating the one or more shape-changing elements to reduce the effective diameter of the device encircling the limb, to thereby apply pressure to the limb.
Diagnostic and therapeutic splints
Splints for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes are disclosed. In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a splint system for diagnostic and/or therapeutic functions for a patient with a vascular impairment. In one embodiment, the splint system includes a splint having: a leg supporting portion and a foot supporting portion, that are configured to support and secure the leg and foot of the patient; a locally and/or remotely controllable portion for setting a dorsiflexion angle of the foot of the patient, including electrical and/or mechanical controls and one or more actuators for setting of the dorsiflexion angle, for providing treatment to improve vascular function; and a plurality of physiological parameter sensors for measuring physiological parameters of the leg and/or foot of the patient, wherein the physiological parameters are associated with vascular function in the leg and/or foot of the patient.
Remote-Controlled Vibrator Apparatus
A remote-controlled vibrator apparatus is provided that stimulate both a vagina and a clitoris (e.g., simultaneously), can be worn for a prolonged period of time, and controlled (e.g., exclusively) by a remote user device. Preferred embodiments of the present invention include a shaft that is connected to a tail via a hinge, where the hinge allows the tail portion to pivot with respect to the shaft. The vibrator apparatus may include a plurality of motors, with a first motor in the shaft for stimulating the vagina and a second motor in the tail for stimulating the clitoris. The remote user device (or app operating thereof) may be used to turn the device on/off, control the device (e.g., its mode, motor frequency, motor intensity, etc.), and receive feedback from the device (e.g., operational data, environmental data, user biometric data, etc.).
MASSAGE CHAIRS HAVING MASSAGE APPARATUSES FOR LEGS AND FEET AND FOR HANDS AND ARMS
One aspect of the present invention is different embodiments of legs and feet massage apparatuses for providing massage effects to the legs and/or feet of a user. Another aspect is different embodiments of hands and arms massage apparatuses for providing massage effects to the arms and/or hands of the user. Additional aspect is an armrest sliding adjustment apparatus. A further aspect is a bicep and tricep panel sliding adjustment apparatus. Additional aspect is a chair that includes at least one of the following devices, apparatuses and systems described in this application: any of the legs and feet massage apparatuses; any of the hands and arms massage apparatuses; an armrest sliding adjustment apparatus; a bicep and tricep panel sliding adjustment apparatus; a neck and shoulder massage system; an integrated smart medical device; at least one health monitoring device or system; a virtual reality device; and a touchscreen-based control system.
OBTAINING, WITH A SLEEP-APNEA DEVICE, INFORMATION RELATED TO SLEEP-APNEA EVENTS AND SLEEP-APNEA TREATMENT, AND CORRELATING SLEEP APNEA EVENTS AND SLEEP-APNEA TREATMENT WITH SUBJECT LIFESTYLE AND WELLBEING
An embodiment of a system for treating sleep apnea includes a collar, pump, motor, sensor, memory, and controller, which is configured to store, in the memory, information related to sleep-apnea events or sleep-apnea treatment, experienced by the subject. For example, the controller can obtain, and store in the memory, information related to sleep-apnea events, and the controller, or another computing system, can correlate this information with the subject's lifestyle choices, and can recommend lifestyle changes to improve the subject's sleep apnea. Furthermore, the controller can obtain and store, in the memory, information related to usage and settings of the sleep-apnea system, and the controller, or another computing system, can correlate this information with the subject's wellbeing, and can recommend changes in the usage or the settings of the sleep-apnea system that can improve the subject's wellbeing.
SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR MONITORING AND MODULATION OF THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES
Wearable sensors that measure one or more parameters such as pressure, force, acceleration, or skin temperature, are used to measure, record, display and monitor the efficacy of therapeutic maneuvers applied to a subject by an operator. Systems and methods for assessing the physiological efficacy of therapeutic maneuvers performed by an operator on a subject in need thereof, and provide a way to guide subsequent therapeutic maneuvers toward optimal outcome. In some embodiments, the systems and methods measure, record, and display physiological parameters of an operator and/or subject during application of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USE OF TELEMEDICINE-ENABLED REHABILITATIVE EQUIPMENT FOR PREDICTION OF SECONDARY DISEASE
A computer-implemented system may include a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while the user is performing a treatment plan, a patient interface comprising an output device configured to present telemedicine information associated with a telemedicine session, and a first computing device configured to: receive treatment data pertaining to the user while the user uses the treatment device to perform the treatment plan; identify at least one aspect of the at least one measurement pertaining to the user associated with a first treatment device mode of the treatment device; determine whether the at least one aspect of the measurement correlates with a secondary condition of the user; and, in response to a determination that the at least one aspect of the at least one measurement is correlated with the at least one secondary condition of the user, generate secondary condition information indicating at least the secondary condition.
