A positive expiratory pressure-generating device for reducing breathlessness in a subject with one or more pulmonary disorders is disclosed. The device is rigid and hollow and can be held in the mouth of the subject. The device has at least one air chamber, at least one opening in the portion of the device that is held in the mouth and at least one additional airflow orifice. The device is configured to increase expiratory resistance and can be supported by the mouth of the subject without the need for additional support by hands, another device or other means.

This invention relates to a mobile health and fitness reactive immersive activity space embodied with a plurality of modules and more particularly to a motorized or towed vehicle or vessel with its structural space embodied in modular assembly with sensory flooring and walls, providing a immersive platform for performing health assessments and treatments as well as physical and mental health fitness activities for functional training and therapy, using a plurality of sensors, electronics, electrical and ambient audio-visual stimulation that can be programmed to suit the specific needs of an individual or a group of individuals.

Disclosed are biofeedback methods and devices suitable for providing biofeedback useful for helping a user control an own breathing, for example, to help in inducing deep breathing, and such biofeedback devices further comprising a dispenser for dispensing an inhalable substance.

A respiratory treatment device comprising at least one chamber, a chamber inlet configured to receive exhaled air into the at least one chamber, at least one chamber outlet configured to permit exhaled air to exit the at least one chamber, and an exhalation flow path defined between the chamber inlet and the at least one chamber outlet. A restrictor member positioned in the exhalation flow path is moveable between a closed position, where a flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path is restricted, and an open position, where the flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path is less restricted. A vane in fluid communication with the exhalation flow path is operatively connected to the restrictor member and is configured to reciprocate between a first position and a second position in response to the flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path.

A respiratory therapy apparatus includes a rocker mechanism (101, 110, 111, 112) that provides an oscillating resistance to expiration. The apparatus also includes an air entrainment arrangement (200) at its air inlet (3) having a ring orifice (214) connected via a gas inlet (4) to a source (119) of oxygen at elevated pressure. The oxygen emerging around the ring orifice (214) entrains ambient air and supplies this as a continuous flow of respiratory gas to the patient interface (2) to provide a positive airway pressure.
