Disclosed is a fabric having a first side and a second side, that is provided at least on part of the first side with a pattern of protrusions, wherein the protrusions comprise an expanded heat-expanding material, namely a heat-expanding material that has been expanded by heating. A polymeric layer is provided to the woven fabric to coat at least part of the protrusions. Also disclosed is a process for the production of the fabric and a garment comprising the fabric.

The claimed subject matter relates novel method and apparatus for dulling non -injury associated, exercise induced pain using a new vibrational device. Provided is a wearable garment for reduction of muscle pain during intense physical exercise, comprising a garment adapted to conform to a shape of a portion of a human body; a plurality of interconnected vibrators and incorporated into the garment at intervals throughout the garment; a power source coupled to the plurality of vibrators; an instruction execution system; logic, executed on the instruction execution system and stored on a non -transitory storage medium, the logic comprising instructions for controlling the plurality of vibrators to deliver vibrations to the portion of the human body during exercise.

The disclosure concerns a knit massaging item of clothing to be worn by a person, comprising at least a raised knit active portion (14) to be pressed against the skin of the person wearing it so as to massage the skin, characterized in that the active portion (14) includes multiple protruding beads (22) designed to massage the person.

A therapeutic apparel article is configured with a supple wearable fabric article that can be configured over limb or nub of an amputated limb. The therapeutic apparel article is configured with a plurality of nodes for detachably attaching vibrating devices thereto. In addition, a control unit having a power source may be detachably attached to the wearable fabric article. A conductive network may extend from the control unit and/or the power source to provide electrical power to the nodes and the vibrating devices attached. A user may attach vibrating devices to various nodes of the wearable fabric article as desired. In addition, the vibrating devices and the control unit can be detached from the wearable fabric article to enable the wearable fabric article to be washed.

Systems and methods related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. The system includes a camera to capture one or more images at a scene where the person in need of medical assistance is being treated and one or more processors. The processors receive and process the images, by using a rescuer profile, to provide a real-time feedback to the rescuer to improve the CPR treatment.

A garment having at least one sleeve, intended to cover a part of the body of a wearer, the sleeve having at least one region, the inner surface of which is equipped with a network of picots, the sleeve being designed to be able to exert compressive stress from said picots onto the skin of the body part that is intended to be positioned facing said network, the picots each having a trigonal base and being distributed in the network so as to form alveoli between adjacent picots, the sleeve being designed such that the picots can exert pressure on the skin great enough to form a skin protrusion in at least one alveolus in order to micro-massage the protrusion during relative movements taking place between the network and the body part.

A unique and innovative vest provides vibrating and heating massage. A controller is used to control vibrating modules and heating elements positioned on the vest. Through a vibration button and a heat button, the controller allows a user to selectively control vibrating and vibrating/heating massages. Using increase/decrease intensity buttons the vest facilitates optimal massage effects per the user's desire. The vibrating modules is configured to vibrate and/or oscillate in various controlled directional and rotational movements, providing a therapeutic massage. Multiple body zone switches corresponding to various massage zones of the user's body offer the user efficient control of any specific local area for achieving effective massage, thus substantially facilitating the recovery of muscles/tissues injury, alleviation of body pain, stress relief of neck, back, shoulders, etc. Further, the massage vest includes a design that promotes good posture while the user is seated.

A compression garment system and method that may include a head garment portion configured to be donned on a head of a body. The compression garment and method may further include a neck garment portion configured to be donned on a neck of the body. A controller may be configured to control pressure applied by each of one or more head pressure applying regions and/or each of one or more neck pressure applying regions to move lymph at least from the head towards the neck.
