COMPRESSION AND/OR CONTENTION GARMENT FOR LYMPHOEDEMA TREATMENT
Disclosed is a compression and/or contention garment for lymphoedema treatment, the garment including a main body made of a compression textile. The garment has at least a first targeted area, in which the garment includes at least one layer of reinforcement textile, and at least a second targeted area, in which the garment includes at least one layer of contention textile.
ASSISTIVE DEVICE STRUCTURE FOR POSITIONING AND PRESSURE RELIEF
An assistive device structure for positioning and pressure relief is provided, including a first elastic layer and a second elastic layer, which are attached by using a high-frequency encapsulation process, sealing, bagging, thermoforming, or an integrally molding process. Each of the first and second elastic layers has a bottom surface and an arc surface disposed opposite to each other. The arc surface includes two protrusions and a recess formed there in between. The two protrusions have different heights. A hollow area is disposed in the recess of the first and second elastic layers. Based on such structure, the bottom surfaces of the first and second elastic layers are attached to form the proposed assistive device structure for a user to lean against and providing multiple positioning effects and pressure relief More than four axial directions of supporting forces are generated to effectively enhance muscle relaxation and stress relief.

Muscle or joint support article with a strap
The present application generally relates to support articles and methods of making and using them. The support articles of the present disclosure provide compression and/or stabilization of sore joints of muscles. In some embodiments, the compression and/or enhanced stabilization is provided, at least in part, by one or more straps. In some embodiments, the support articles also include one or more reinforcing portions. In some embodiments, the support articles can easily be applied by a non-trained user and can be worn in many conditions (including, for example, in the shower or during exercise) for up to three days. The support articles have a relatively slim profile and are thus discreet such that they can be worn under clothing without being noticeable.
BACK BODY SUPPORT FOR POSTURE CORRECTION OR PAIN RELIEF
The present disclosure provides a back body support 1000 that is provided with the related assemblies, such as a primary elongated cushion member 100, a secondary elongated cushion member 200, a headrest extension member 300, a flexible seating support member 400, a tail bone and buttocks support member 500, a rigid seat member 600, and a posture correction member 700, which may be coupled to one another to provide one or more combinations to be used by a user in one or more ways, such as while sitting or while walking, to provide support to back portion thereof, particularly, along the spine, and pelvis and buttock portion of a body of the user.

Adjustable dorsal night splint
A dorsal night splint has dynamic adjustable features that allow the patient to adjust the splint while in use to control the stretching of the plantar fascia and Achilles. A semi-rigid flexible frame is included along with a tightening strap that is anchored to the frame and by which the patient can tension the strap and adjust the structure of the frame to fit the patient's desired therapeutic or prophylactic needs.

Device and method for applying pressure to a mammalian limb
A therapeutic pressure band for applying pressure across a muscle or muscle groups on a mammalian limb is described. The band is particularly well suited for treating “shin splints.” The band includes a plurality of straps that are connected together via a connecting material. Ends of each of the straps have adjustable fasteners for securing and tightening the band around a limb. The band also possesses a plurality of pressure members (e.g., elongated rubber tubes) that apply separate and discrete areas or points of pressure in a line across a muscle, tendon, bone, or muscle group and generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the limb.
