A portable oxygen system for enhancing recovery time during a work out routine includes an oxygen tank that has an outlet. The oxygen tank contains gaseous oxygen. A hose unit is coupled to the outlet and the hose unit is in fluid communication with the oxygen tank. Thus, the hose unit selectively delivers the gaseous oxygen to a user. The hose unit is selectively extended and retracted with respect to the outlet.

A method for assisting a patient in physical rehabilitation, the method being executed by a controller, and the controller being configurable with at least one physical rehabilitation strategy and being communicatively connected with a respiratory device and an exercise device. The method includes controlling at least one of a device setting of the respiratory device and a device setting of the exercise device, based on a target physical rehabilitation strategy among the at least one physical rehabilitation strategy.

Various improvements are provided to breathing training, monitoring and/or assistance devices. A portable device is provided which optionally includes a gas canister, a feedback system for implementing pressure control, and a visual output for indicating adherence to a breathing exercise to the user. The pressure control may provide regulation of different pressures for inhalation and exhalation.

The pressure control may provide regulation of different pressures for inhalation and exhalation.

A breathing training, monitoring and/or assistance device is provided for home use. The device is for providing support and guidance during the training of breathing exercises. The device takes account of external data which relates to one or more of: the environmental conditions in which the device is being used; activity information in respect of the user; physiological sensor data about the user which is not related to breathing characteristics.

Systems and methods for breathing training and methods to monitor their use are disclosed. According to an aspect, a breathing training monitoring system may include a gas passageway that is occluded or connected to a RMT device for receipt of input from a patient. Further, the system may include a gas pressure transducer configured to measure gas pressure within the gas passageway. The system may include a breathing activity monitor configured to determine whether a breathing activity has been accomplished based on the measure of gas pressure. The breathing activity monitor may also present an indication that the breathing activity has been accomplished in response to determining that the breathing activity has been accomplished.

The invention relates to a medical use of water exerting a hydrostatic pressure higher than 1.1 bar, completely surrounding and affecting a patient's organism under total submergence, for use in prophylaxis, physiotherapy, rehabilitation and therapy of disorders, defects and injuries of skeletal system, arthroskeletal system, musculoskeletal system and other body systems such as circulatory system, nervous system, immune system, as well as pain conditions, such as migraine, myalgia and neuralgia, skin diseases, fertility disorders, potency dysfunctions, as well as overweight, obesity and defects of posture. According to the invention the hydrostatic pressure of water is preferably higher than 1.2 bar, and the patient is human being. The invention is of a particular importance in rehabilitation and therapy that follows after aesthetic medicine treatment, after surgeries, after physical injuries of motor system. The solution according to the invention is advantageously used in combination with procedures of classic hydrotherapy, manual therapy, kinesitherapy or combination thereof. It is of a particular benefit to provide air, mixture of gases of a composition different to the composition of air, mixtures of air and oxygen or pure oxygen for breathing (hyperbaric oxygen therapy HBO/HBOT), while the water may be supplemented with various additives appropriate for the kind of an ailment treated, such as mineral, gaseous, herbal, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial including antibacterial additives.

A method for assisting a patient in physical rehabilitation, the method being executed by a controller, and the controller being configurable with at least one physical rehabilitation strategy and being communicatively connected with a respiratory device and an exercise device. The method includes controlling at least one of a device setting of the respiratory device and a device setting of the exercise device, based on a target physical rehabilitation strategy among the at least one physical rehabilitation strategy.

A cardiopulmonary rehabilitation assistance system is provided, including: a training unit, an exercise assistance unit, a physiological biosignal-monitoring unit and a control unit. The training unit includes an ergometer, and the exercise assistance unit includes an intake tube, an oxygen supply module configured to supply oxygen to the intake tube. The physiological biosignal-monitoring unit includes a blood oxygen saturation sensor configured to measure a blood oxygen saturation of a user, and the control unit controls the ergometer to perform an assisted exercise program. In the assisted exercise program, the control unit performs at least one of a training assistance program and an exercise safety program to meet different requirements. In the training assistance program, the control unit controls the oxygen supply module to supply extra oxygen when the blood oxygen saturation is out of a suggested saturation range.

An oral device includes an intraoral bolus simulator having an exterior surface and an interior volume fillable with a fluid. An extraoral user interface extends from the bolus simulator, and can be used to locate or position the intraoral bolus simulator. In various embodiments, the fluid may be a gas or a liquid, or combinations thereof. In other embodiments, an oral device includes an extraoral handle, a shield connected to the handle, a tether extending from the shield, and a bolus simulator connected to the tether.
