In order to maximize spatial utilization and to minimize the volume of a thermotherapy bed so that the thermotherapy bed can be easily stored or moved, the thermotherapy bed includes: a bed body having a thermotherapy device placed therein; side frames connected to both side surfaces of the bed body, respectively; and bed legs configured to support the bed body and connected to the side frames, respectively, wherein the thermotherapy device is placed in a center of the bed body and forms a protrusion on a bottom surface of the bed body, and the bed legs are folded to face an inside of the bed body and are accommodated in spaces formed at both sides of the thermotherapy device.

A therapeutic apparatus for providing a therapeutic treatment is disclosed. The therapeutic apparatus includes mats. Each mat includes first pressure point fingers. Each first pressure point finger extends from the surface of the mat. The therapeutic apparatus includes a connector connecting the mats. The connector comprises second pressure point fingers. The second pressure point fingers have a similar construction to the first pressure point finger. The mats position side-by-side with the help of the connector exposing the first pressure point fingers of each adjacent mat and the second pressure point fingers of the connector providing a continuous array of pressure point fingers. A user rests over the first pressure point fingers and the second pressure point fingers for applying pressure to targeted areas of human tissue to relieve pain and get therapeutic treatment.

The present invention is a modular exercise system made up of two handles, a segmented track, and two or more sliding carriages. The invention allows a user to safely and incrementally practice front and side split exercises by providing specific and adjustable stability and support. The invention can be extended to accommodate taller users and can also be fully disassembled and packed into a compact travelling configuration.

A knee joint flexibility rehabilitation apparatus may comprising a tubular strut having a first support foot and a bracket attached thereto, the tubular strut forming a first aperture; a height-adjustment bar translatably and rotatably disposed in the tubular strut, the height-adjustment bar forming a plurality of second apertures extending through the cross-section of the height-adjustment bar; a support bar fixed substantially perpendicularly to the height-adjustment bar, the padded support bar being configured to receive a knee joint posterior; a support strut pivotably connected to the bracket, the support strut having a second support foot attached thereto, the support strut pivotable away from parallel the tubular strut to form an acute angle thereto; and a pin removably disposed in one of the plurality of second apertures to fix the height-adjustment bar against translation in one direction.

A method of administering a massage comprising providing a base member with a flexible member coupled to opposite sides of the base member. The base member is rested on top of a support surface so that connection points where the flexible member attaches to the base member are vertically disposed above the support surface. A patient is positioned on the base member and the support surface so that the patient is laying between the opposite sides of the base member. Force is delivered to the patient laying on the base member using a foot of a massage practitioner. The massage practitioner utilizes the flexible member to assist with balance of the massage practitioner while the force is delivered to the patient.

A rollator to aid mobility is described. The rollator comprises an A-frame with two pairs of uprights, each pair of uprights connected by at least one respective hinge to allow each pair of uprights to be folded or pivot front-to-back and a seat disposed between the two pairs of uprights, the seat foldable side-to-side. To fold compactly the rollator comprises an X-shaped cross-linkage comprising four linkage members. A method of manufacturing the rollator is also disclosed. The four linkage members may extend from a respective upright to a central hub underneath the seat. The cross-linkage may fold or pivot at the central hub in both front-to back and side-to-side dimensions when the rollator is folded away.

An extender for a massage device handle has an adjustable and pivotal sleeve to be removably attached to different sized massage device handles via a hinge assembly. A first longitudinal extender section is removably attached to the hinge assembly. A first laterally extending handle is removably attached to the first longitudinal extender section. The first longitudinal extender section has one end adapted to removably receive another extender section to extend the length of the extender.

A mobility assistance apparatus includes first and second frames positioned on left and right sides of a user; a hinge arm mechanism coupled to the first and second frames; and a pivotable securing unit or a walking seat coupled to the frames to transfer at least a portion of the user's body weight from the legs and to transfer weight through the user's hip or pelvis to the first and second frame enabling the user to stand or work for an extended period without requiring the user's arms to hold the frame; a wheel coupled to the first and second frames; a brake coupled to the wheel to provide friction to the wheel when actuated; and a tensioner coupled to the brake to adjust cable tension during wheel braking.

This is a mobility aid for disabled persons, including a front frame, a rear frame, and a handle frame. The front frame comprises two front legs having front wheels at the bottom ends thereof. The rear frame is attached to the front frame and includes a saddle seat and a rear leg having a rear wheel attached thereto. The handle frame includes a handle horizontal tube and a vertical handle member depending therefrom. The vertical handle member is attached to the front frame. The handle horizontal tube includes an elbow support at each end and a hand rest support plate having a pair of hand rest spheres. A patient can sit on the saddle seat with their elbow resting on the elbow support so that some or most of their body weight is supported by the saddle and elbow support, while the feet can walk freely.
