A massage handwear system including handwear with outward extending ridges is provided. The handwear may be worn on the hands of the massage therapist while administering a massage. The outward extending ridges are configured in the palm areas, the fingertip areas and/or the thumb areas of the handwear and are usable to apply pressure to the recipient of the massage. Some of the outward extending ridges on a first handwear are adapted to engage with other outward extending ridges on a second handwear to configure the first and second handwear as a two-hand handwear assembly.

The present invention relates to a legwear item. The legwear item (1) is made of three or more different cloth materials, comprising a waistband (2), a front panel (3), a rear panel (5), two side panels (4a, 4b), two knee hollow panels (6a, 6b), and two calf panels (7a, 7b), the front panel (3), the side panels (4a, 4b), and the rear panel (5) each being connected to the waistband (2), characterized in that the two side panels (4a, 4b), the rear panel (5), and the two calf panels (7a, 7b) each comprise a first cloth material for massaging and compressing leg regions of a wearer, and that the front panel (3) and the knee hollow panels (6a, 6b) each comprise a second cloth material, and that the waistband (2) comprises a third cloth material, wherein the first cloth material has a greater compression than the second cloth material.

Personal protective equipment configured to reduce the discomfort of the protruding joint of the conventional personal protective equipment includes a sleeve, at least one adhesive membrane, and at least one thin film. The sleeve is formed by curving an elastic fabric and joining two opposite joining edges of the elastic fabric in a butting manner. The adhesive membrane has an adhesive side adhesively attached to a surface of the sleeve over an area where the two opposite joining edges of the sleeve extend. The thin film covers and is adhesively attached to another adhesive side of the adhesive membrane. The personal protective equipment, therefore, has a flat joint and is spared those prior art drawbacks attributable to the protuberance of a hemmed border or overlap seam, such as an uncomfortable sensation and a lack of conformity to the contour of the body part being protected.

A massage apparatus holder, comprising: a first holder side having a first substantially flat portion and an indentation shaped to receive a portion of a massage apparatus; a second holder side having a second substantially flat portion, wherein the holder is larger in size than the massage apparatus, the thickness is at least 7 mm and a portion of the holder is attached to a body.

A tactile stimulation providing apparatus in a form of a vest in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first front panel including a plurality of actuators arranged between one side and the other side thereof; a second front panel including a plurality of actuators arranged between one side and the other side thereof, wherein the one side of the second front panel is fastenable to the other side of the first front panel; and a rear panel including a plurality of actuators arranged between one side and the other side thereof, wherein the one side of the rear panel is fastenable to the one side of the first front panel and the other side of the rear panel is fastenable to the other side of the second front panel.

The invention, acupressure gloves/cots with attached single/multiple pellets are made of various materials. The materials such as cloth, rubber, leather, latex, neoprene, and knitted wool are used for making the gloves/cots. The pellets are made from stainless steel, 24k gold plated stainless steel, silver, titanium, magnetics, or Vaccaria seeds. The single or multiple pellets will be attached in the distal area on the palm surface of the gloves/cots. These five finger gloves or individual cots (thumb and index finger) can be worn by an individual like any other typical gloves, for the application of pressure on acupressure points for treatment. It provides people an alternative method of receiving acupressure treatment using gloves/cots that can be used anytime and/or anywhere to apply pressure on specific body/ear acupressure points to relieve any corresponding pathological ailments.

An infant garment is disclosed that can provide certain vibrations, in an evenly distributed manner, that can mimic patting and massaging of the infant, thereby providing a calming effect to the infant and promote relaxation and sleep and further prevent irritability, fussing, crying, and screaming, among other advantages. In particular, the infant garment can include a first compartment disposed in a middle region of the garment, wherein the compartment can also include a first flap and a second flap, and wherein the first flap at least partially overlaps the second flap. In addition, the infant garment may also include a second compartment disposed within the first compartment, wherein the second compartment is elastic. Further, the infant garment may also include a vibrating electronic device disposed within the elastic second compartment and secured therein.

A neuromuscular enhancement system comprising engineered textile structures is worn by a user to increase strength, preserve energy, and increase motion accuracy. The system can be used in surgery and interface with operating room technology, together providing the surgeon with the ability to perform surgery for longer hours and with increased accuracy. The enhancement system is a flexible structure, worn over the user's body, comprising engineered textile materials that apply forces to different areas of the user's body. The engineered materials can be activated in order to apply a force to a particular region of the body to assist in a desired user output. The engineered materials can be embedded with sensors to detect and monitor motion and other physical properties. The engineered materials can also be embedded with a communication system that conveys information between a computer system and the neuromuscular enhancement system and its various sensors and components. The enhancement system here can be configured for use in applications other than surgery.

The present disclosure relates to energizing garments wearable by a user. The energizing garment is provided with compressive material and fingers (e.g., watershed fingers and/or massage (non-watershed) fingers) that can be positioned about the user's body to provide a combination of compression and penetrating massage to tissues that are oriented relative to watersheds of the user. The compressive material and fingers may be sized, shaped, oriented, or arranged in patterns to strategically energize the tissues of the user to release fluids, such as lymph, interstitial fluids, and/or blood, along or across the watersheds.

Compression garments may include mitts and tightening apparatus to don, or put on, such compression garments. The mitts may be configured to receive a user's hand such that the user can move one or more portions of the garments using the mitts. The tightening apparatus may allow a user to selectively tighten or loosen the garments about the user's body portions. Once donned, the compression garments may apply pressure to one or more regions of the user's body such as, e.g., arm regions, shoulder regions, torso regions, and neck regions.
