Abstract:
An exercise and massage device utilizes a substantially spherical body having a central cavity that extends to opposite sides of the spherical body so that the cavity forms openings on opposite sides of the spherical body. The spherical body has an outer core of a first resilient hardness. A single rigid handle is positioned within the cavity. The openings of the cavity are sized and configured for allowing a user to access and manually grasp the handle through either opening. A resilient outer layer surrounds the outer core of the spherical body and provides an exterior surface of the spherical body. The resilient outer layer has a second resilient hardness that is less than that of the first resilient hardness of the outer core of the spherical body to provide a cushioning effect when the device is used in a massage mode. The device is weighted to provide a total weight of the device of from 2 lbs or more.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a magnetic elastic hairdressing massage comb, which includes a circle of outer non-electric conductive adiabatic gears with a certain interval space arranged around a working face of the shell and a heat conductive comb body layer arranged at the inner of the non-electric conductive adiabatic gear circle, on which several lattice arrayed magnetic elastic moving gears are set. Said magnetic elastic moving gears are hollow heat conductive gears. A heat resistant magnetic body X is fixed in the bottom of the hollow heat conductive gear body. On the upside of X, a heat resistant magnetic body Y is arranged with X with like poles facing each other. The top of Y is connected to a small high-temperature resistant adiabatic column, which stretches out of the opening at the top of said hollow heat guide gears.

Abstract:
A system for adding pressure and extracting heat from the bottom of a user's foot to aid in pain relief. A spherical container is provided with an aqueous polymer mixture which may be cooled or heated to allow heat to be transferred through the spherical container to/from the bottom of a user's foot. The spherical container is provided with a tube passing therethrough to allow a user to provide a strap through the spherical container. The strap is provided with handles to allow the user to direct the pressure of the spherical container to the bottom of the user's foot and to extract or apply heat as desired
Abstract:
A method for achieving myofascial release has the steps of: engaging an epidermis of the patient with firm gliding pressure; stretching the epidermis to a stretched position at which the movement is restricted by the restriction; holding the epidermis in the stretched position for less than 10 seconds; and then performing a series of rapid glides around the stretched position, with firm gliding pressure, to release the restriction.
Abstract:
A low stress therapeutic device is provided by utilizing foot plates and guide rails having operationally tracking surfaces of a low coefficient of friction supported by a platform. The device includes a rail stabilizer equipped with extending longitudinally recess or slot and a slideably mounted foot plate having upon its underside a longitudinal projection slideably retained within the rail recess. The therapeutic device may be designed to operate under relatively effortless strain at a low coefficient of friction. The therapeutic device is useful for knee replacement, stroke victims, ACL repair, and other therapeutic treatments requiring a nominal initiating effort of movement for rehabilitation. The device may be provided as a one or two footed device of a light weight particularly useful in a patient sitting or lying position. The foot plates may be appropriately equipped with longitudinally underside tracking guides reciprocating sliding within longitudinal slots provided by a tracking rail.
Abstract:
A rejuvenation and massage device is provided for treating mucosa tissue, such as vaginal tissue, affected by Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome (VRS) or other conditions, through vibration, thermal loading, and light emittance for a duration of time. In one embodiment, the device is an insertable device that includes Low-Level Laser Light (LLLT) therapy to treat the vaginal tissue. The light emittance by one or more light emitters is in a range sufficient to provide therapeutic effects through light radiation. To enhance the therapeutic effects of light radiation provided by the device, the device is configured to provide increased energy density into target tissue of vaginal muscles though a light configuration component (e.g., a focusing component, such as a concave lens assembly, a convex assembly, a pre-lensed light emitter or other focusing optical mechanism) associated with the light emitter that concentrates the light emitted from the light emitter.
Abstract:
Provided are mechanisms and processes for an adjustable mobility assistive device. In various examples, the adjustable mobility assistive device includes a first frame including a slotted rail S1 and a slotted rail S3 coupled by post P1 and post P3. Both slotted rail S1 and slotted rail S3 may be quarter circular in shape. The adjustable mobility assistive device also includes a second frame including a slotted rail S2 and a slotted rail S4 coupled by post P2 and post P4. Both slotted rail S2 and slotted rail S4 may be quarter circular in shape. Post P2 is slidably connected to slotted rail S1 and slotted rail S3, and post P3 is slidably connected to slotted rail S2 and slotted rail S4. Post P2 is adjacent to post P3 when in a fully extended position and post P1 is adjacent to post P2 and post P3 is adjacent to post P4 in a retracted position.
Abstract:
A combined eyelid warming device, resonance frequency generator, coupling device, and tissue response sensor are disclosed in the field of use in dry eye treatment. These combined devices are used to ensure that the entire eyelid surface and periorbital structures receive defined therapeutic warmth and appropriately tuned harmonic resonance frequency for a required period of time to stimulate flow from the Meibomian glands. The combined elements of the invention include an easily moldable heating disc, targeted formulation of the heating material, miniaturized resonant frequency vibrating generator combined with a properly designed reusable mask, to ensure precise location of the heat. Vibration may be delivered continuously or intermittently, and may be delivered according to one or more patterns. A chemical sensor is included to characterize flow as vibration is varied. The external energy source allows for circuitry in the external power module to act as a sweep range device, targeting the specific optimally tuned point or sweep frequency the individual patients body reacts to during initial use. The initial testing device supplied to the Doctor for treatment would include sensing elements to determine the optimal harmonic resonance frequency. Once the frequency is defined, the patient would receive a kit with custom harmonic resonant frequency vibrating generators set to their optimum parameters. This configuration would be amenable to both single use and reusable heater approaches.
