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 medical procedure for treating human male and female patients suffering from erectile or sexual dysfunction, respectively, with extracorporeal dual shockwave therapy applied to strategic, gender-specific anatomical regions to improve sexual function. Some or all of the gender-specific anatomical regions may be anesthetized using a topical or local anesthetic, and both radial and focused extracorporeal shockwaves are applied to the anatomical regions at predetermined bar values, frequencies, and number of shockwave pulses, based on the severity of the sexual dysfunction. Radial and focused extracorporeal shockwaves may be used in additional to convention methods of treating both erectile and sexual dysfunction.

A platform for providing spinal traction. Separate planar members having a generally flat and horizontal surface provide a platform for a user, who positions himself or herself in a supine position on a first planar member and a second planar member that form the platform. The first planar member has spaced apart vertical members that engage the user's underarms. The second planar member comprises a restraining member that surrounds the user at approximately the waist of the user. A drive apparatus allows the user to selectively and progressively separate the first planar member from the second planar member so that the vertical members pull the upper torso away from the lower portion of the person's body that is held in position relative to the second planar member by the restraining member.

An apparatus capable of creating synchronized sound, vibration and magnetic field stimulation, for the purpose of habituating and inhibiting brain function while stimulating the human spiritual energy system, is described. The apparatus comprises an amplifier and transducers built into a comfortable seating arrangement including a support structure and a motion platform. The support structure, such as a chair, rests upon the motion platform, which is adapted to impart three-dimensional motion to the support structure. The apparatus uses layered music to create synchronized sounds, vibrations and magnetic fields.

A back massaging assembly for realigning vertebrae of a user includes a pad, which is positioned on an upper face of a bench. A roller module is positioned in a void that is positioned in the pad. The roller module comprises a rotatable cylinder, which extends substantially between opposed edges of the void. An upper limit of the rotatable cylinder extends past an upper surface of the pad. An actuator is operationally engaged to the roller module and is positioned to cycle the rotatable cylinder between a first edge and a second edge of the void, thereby massaging a back of a user who is lying supinely on the pad.

An exercise apparatus includes flexible elongated members configured for attachment to shoes of a user. Motor assemblies are disposed between the elongated members and the shoes, respectively, and cause the flexible elongated members to oscillate. Rotational drums attached to the flexible elongated members and are configured to rotate the flexible elongated members while the elongated members oscillate.

The dry-immersion bed of the present invention is suitable for intensive care units (ICUs) and fulfills the function of providing treatment for diseases such as capillary leak syndrome. The dry immersion bed fulfills the function of recovering cardiovascular physiology by normalizing the systemic distribution of water, albumin and electrolytes, and improving lymphatic drainage, venous return, cardiac output, cell metabolism and immunity.

Patient therapy and patient condition sensing devices and methods can be operated as a function of estimated internal hydrostatic pressure of a body part, for example at a position where a pressure or compression therapy is applied. Information relating to a patient's position, posture, ambulation and/or a physiological condition such as blood pressure can be used to control pressure or compression therapy.

Systems and methods for an exercise apparatus are provided and include a flexible elongated member, a binding apparatus, and a motor assembly. The binding apparatus is attached to the flexible elongated member and has a clamping mechanism configured to secure a shoe of a user of the exercise apparatus to the flexible elongated member. The motor assembly is disposed between the shoe and the flexible elongated member and is configured to cause the flexible elongated member to oscillate.

A spinal therapy device combining pulsed electromagnetic frequency (PEMF) technology and lumbar spinal decompression therapy. The combined device can provide consistent PEMF therapy to a patient who is also undergoing simultaneous lumbar spinal decompression therapy. The device configuration utilizes lumbar spinal decompression methods, which are advantageous for application of PEMF to the lumbar spine.
