A foldable massage chair, including a face pillow assembly for supporting the head, a chest pillow assembly for supporting the chest, a handrail assembly for supporting wrists, a front support piece, a seat cushion assembly, a back support rod, a kneeboard assembly, a back supporting frame, and a front supporting frame. When a user needs to use this chair, it is placed in an expanded or use position, so the user may sit on the seat cushion and lean on the massage chair, completely exposing his back, waist, and hips for a masseur to massage. When the chair needs to be put away, it is possible to fold down the chair into a collapsed position by folding the seat cushion assembly, front support piece, chest pillow assembly, and handrail assembly. Also, the front supporting frame is folded towards the back supporting frame. Consequently, the size of the entire chair decreases.

The herein described Adaptive Ergonomic Positioning device (“AEPD”) relates generally to the field of surgery and other medical or healthcare procedures. The AEPD can be adapted for use with most standard surgical tables and surgical chairs where the patient must be positioned prone during a particular procedure. The AEPD may also be used for certain procedures where the patient may be positioned supine. The AEPD support assemblies are highly adjustable and deliver improved ergonomics for both patients and providers. Patients of different morphology can be comfortably positioned in prone with their head and neck in a neutral position, and shoulders in a forward flexed, slightly internally rotated position. The AEPD can be adjusted to accommodate patients with neck and shoulder mobility restrictions, without any effect on provider accessibility to the surgical or treatment site.

In an example, a headrest for a procedure chair includes a headrest backing, a cushion coupled to the headrest backing, a rail coupled to the headrest backing and configured to support a diagnostic device, and an adapter coupled to the headrest backing and configured to couple to a procedure chair. At least one component chosen from the rail and the adapter is formed from an austenitic stainless steel material.

The invention relates to a stabilising head support for use by a patient during MRI scanning. The head support includes a shell and an inflatable bladder that is located at least partially within the shell. During use, the shell is located within an MRI magnet and the bladder is inflated about the patients head to help hold the head steady during imaging.

Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a disposable kit containing medical items configured for a medical device including a head cradle to support a head of a subject, the disposable kit includes a container that encloses a head cradle pad configured to be affixed to the head cradle, at least one fiducial marker configured to be disposed on a location at the head of the subject, and at least one enclosure configured to cover a portion of the medical device.

The present disclosure provides a treatment assistance apparatus, comprising: a base; a first joint of which one side is coupled to the base to relatively move; a first arm of which one end is rotatably coupled to the other side of the first joint; a second joint of which one side is rotatably coupled to the other end of the first arm; an adapter arm of which one end is coupled to a first adapter to relatively move, and the first adapter is rotatably coupled to the other side of the second joint; a first driving part disposed in the first joint and configured to rotate the first arm; a second driving part disposed in the second joint and configured to rotate the adapter arm; a pressure part configured to stop a relative motion of the first adapter; and a controller configured to control the first driving part, the second driving part and the pressure part.

A system includes a dilation catheter and a guide member. The dilation catheter includes a proximal end, a distal end, a dilator, a navigation sensor, and a force sensor. The dilator is positioned proximal to the distal end and is configured to transition between a non-dilated configuration and a dilated configuration. The navigation sensor is positioned distal to the dilator and is configured to cooperate with a guidance system and thereby provide signals indicating a position of the dilation catheter in three-dimensional space. The force sensor is positioned distal to the dilator and is configured to provide signals indicating a force encountered by the force sensor. The dilation catheter is configured to slide relative to the guide member. A distal portion of the guide member is sized and configured to fit in a nasal cavity of a patient.

A cushion member that is secured to a massage table or massage chair and contains a video or virtual reality headset within a substantially central opening or cutout of the cushion member to allow an individual to view video, virtual reality scenes, or other text, graphics or indicia while receiving a massage. A retaining shelf can also be secured to the cushion member to provide support for the video or virtual reality headset. Speakers can also be embedded in the cushion member or a headphone jack or port can be provided with the headset to also allow the individual to listen to any audio associated with the displayed material on the headset.

A system for supporting and aligning a patient during a color alteration procedure includes a laser system that delivers a laser in a first direction. A control computer may be adjacent the laser system for controlling the laser system. The control computer system may include a user interface in a first plane substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The system may include a patient support structure having a patient support surface extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and configured to be adjustable to set a patient position or alignment relative to the laser system. Coarse adjustment hardware may be configured to cause automated and/or manual adjustments to the patient support surface in the first direction. Fine adjustment hardware may be configured to cause automated fine adjustments to the patient support surface in the first direction based on instructions received from the control computer.

A seat for vehicles includes: a seat back frame; and a pressure receiving member that is mounted on the seat back frame to support a back of an occupant. The seat back frame includes a lower seat back frame and an upper seat back frame mounted on an upper portion of the lower seat back frame in a forwardly and rearwardly swingable manner, and the pressure receiving member is disposed from an area corresponding to the shoulder of an occupant to an area corresponding to the waist of the occupant and is supported by the upper seat back frame.
