Abstract:
A system for administering a therapeutic treatment to a portion of a patient body. In one embodiment the system includes a pressure sensor, a treatment head, and at least one computer processor in operable electrical communication with both the pressure sensor and treatment head. When a treatment tip of the treatment head is applied against the portion of the patient body, the at least one computer processor receives time dependent pressure readings from the pressure sensor corresponding to pressure applied by the treatment tip against the portion of the patient body. The at least one computer processor calculates a test frequency via an algorithm stored in the system. The system compares the test frequency to treatment plan frequencies and selects treatment plan based on the comparison.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a garment system including at least one sensor, and at least one actuator that operates responsive to sensing feedback from the at least one sensor to selectively constrict or selectively dilate at least one flexible compression garment. Such selective constriction or dilation of the at least one flexible compression garment against at least one body part can improve muscle functioning or joint functioning during an activity, such as a sport or other activity.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an apparatus for transmitting localised vibrations, in particular to muscles of a user (215), comprising a handpiece (200), vibrating means (5, 201, 204) being coupled to said at least one handpiece (200), the apparatus being characterised in that the handpiece (200) is coupled through connecting means (222, 223) to an applicator (227) capable to be applied to an area of the body of the user (215), said vibrating means (5, 201, 204) being connected to a processing and controlling device that is housed in a control panel (209) and in turn connected to interface means (210) for inputting data capable to set a vibration frequency of said vibrating means (5, 201, 204).
Abstract:
A system for electrical ventilation stimulation of a patient including an implantable nerve stimulator including a stimulation circuit and a pulse generator that produces biphasic charge-balanced pulses to stimulate a phrenic nerve, an external digital programming device having near field communication transmission and a digital interface, and wherein the external digital programming device is used to control settings of the implantable nerve stimulator.
Abstract:
A device (100) for treating urinary incontinence comprising a housing (101) having a periphery, a main control unit (303) provided inside the housing (101), a motor (300) stowed inside the housing (101), a pair of electrodes (102A, 102B) provided on the periphery of the housing (101), wherein the main control unit (303) comprises a wireless communication module, a vibration module/circuit (301) electrically connected to the motor (300) and an electrical stimulation module/circuit (302) electrically connected to the pair of electrodes (102A, 102B) for generating vibration and electrical stimulation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tactile exercise mat (1) and a method of operating it. The tactile exercise mat comprises a plurality of actuators (2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 30, 31) distributed therein and a controller adapted to control the plurality of actuators. The controller is adapted to access predefined actuator configurations defining exercise configurations and to control the actuators in accordance with the predefined actuator configurations. In an advantageous embodiment, the controller is communicatively connected to one or more sensors for sensing the actual movement of the user.
