Abstract:
Provided is a vibratory stimulation device including a first substrate, a connection band connected to both sides of the first substrate, and a vibration element array including a plurality of vibration elements provided on the first substrate, wherein each of the vibration elements includes a stand provided on the first substrate, a vibration film provided on the stand and in contact with the stand at an edge, a vibrator provided on an upper or lower surface of the vibration film, and an electrode wire connected to the vibrator, wherein the vibration film includes a material that is more flexible and stretchable than the stand.
Abstract:
The main embodiment is a system, apparatus, and method for attaching a decorative accessory, cover, disguise, and or enhancement to an acupressure device ordinarily worn on the wrist or other wearable item. The system, apparatus, and method comprising a clip with magnetic properties, top and bottom sides also referred herein as first end A and second end B, which holds onto an acupressure device or other wearable item, the bottom side also referred to as second end B inserting between the acupressure device and the body of the user and the top side also referred to as first end A holding flush to the top of the acupressure device or other wearable item, remaining exposed, configured to engage a magnetic component and a decorative accessory, cover, disguise, and or enhancement in which the magnetic component is incorporated.The decorative accessory, cover, disguise, and or enhancement is a decorative overlay comprising of one or more magnetic components that correspond to the clip(s) placed onto the acupressure device or other wearable item to secure the decorative accessory onto the acupressure device or other wearable item, covering the acupressure device or other wearable item in part or in whole, preventing the decorative accessory from displacing from covering the acupressure device or other wearable item. Thereby providing a decorative overlay to a functional wearable item, allowing for discretion for cause to wear the acupressure device or other wearable item and personalization of the wearable item.
Abstract:
The invention is an ergonomic auxiliary crutch pad with guide extensions that replaces the underarm supports on conventional “Y” shaped crutches. The upper armpit pad is replaced by two curved adjustable extensions that fit over the upper end tubes of the conventional crutch and are connected via a flexible strap covered by a replaceable soft pad between the two upper “Y” tubes. The ergonomically designed auxiliary pad and guide extensions positions, aligns and stabilizes the crutch while eliminating chaff, soreness and potential nerve damage caused by current armpit weight-bearing supports on conventional “Y” crutch designs.
Abstract:
A method for inducing a cellular or hormonal response includes using a wave-generating device to emit sound waves through an individual's skin and onto a target organ, and vibrating the target organ or a portion thereof at a frequency in resonance with the sound waves. The sound waves have a frequency of less than 200 Megahertz (MHz).
Abstract:
Provided are orthopedic, dual density pressure pads designed to transfer pressure onto a focused anatomical structure; typically through the assistance of a device that applies a perpendicular or downward force. The pad includes an outer layer including a relatively soft material and an interior support including a rigid material, with the interior support typically having a substantially greater hardness than the outer layer.
Abstract:
Methods, devices and systems for recovering motor control of an area in the body of a patient affected by a neurological disorder. A device vibrotactilely stimulates a substitute site for the affected area thereby recovering the motor control of the affected area. The stimulation provided by the device is volitionally controlled by the patient.
