    Abstract: The present invention provides improved oculomotor testing devices and pain tolerance testing devices. Certain oculomotor testing devices test parameters including response time, reaction time, and movement time, as well as precision. The devices are adapted for ambulatory as well as semi-ambulatory and non-ambulatory individuals. Methods of using the devices are provided wherein a visual stimulus is provided and the individual is instructed to perform a movement specific to that visual stimulus. Preferably, the device records the movement done in response to the visual stimulus and, with the aid of a computing device, factors out errors and measures the desired parameter. One embodiment of the present invention permits a user to observe a real-time visual feedback of the force exerted on a load cell. The individual can increase or decrease the amount of force exerted in response to the display of force on a visual feedback monitor. Such a device can measure the pain tolerance of an individual by correlating the length of time the individual can maintain a certain exerted force on the load cell with their tolerance for pain.

One embodiment of the present invention permits a user to observe a real-time visual feedback of the force exerted on a load cell. The individual can increase or decrease the amount of force exerted in response to the display of force on a visual feedback exhibitor. Such a device can measure the pain tolerance of an individual by correlating the length of time the individual can maintain a certain exerted force on the load cell with their tolerance for pain.

    Abstract: An air bubble generating device for use in a bathtub has a casing with an electric pump operative to take in and pressurize water from the bathtub, an air inlet operative to take in air from a region above the water in the bathtub, and a nozzle operative to jet a mixture of air taken in by the air inlet and water taken in and pressurized by the electric pump. The casing is provided with means for gripping by hand and a plurality of suction cups on a rear side opposite the nozzle for attaching the casing to the inner wall surface of the bathtub. A power source unit for driving the electric pump is separate from the casing, and may convert power from a commercial power source to a DC current or house a DC secondary battery. The power source may be provided with an idling prevention circuit for suspending output current when the pump is in an idle state, and a rush current reducing circuit for reducing rush current when the electric pump is actuated.

    Abstract: An aquassage apparatus for agitating water in a bath tub has a flexible, soft tubing which is pliable enough to be bent into different configurations. Suction cups are glued to the bottom of the tubing for secure attachment to the bottom of the bath tub. The tubing has a plurality of perforations for allowing compressed air to be horizontally injected therethrough. The tubing is connected to a tee junction at one end, the tee junction is connected via a valve to an exhaust port of a vacuum cleaner. The valve of the present invention has a cylindrical housing with a closed (capped) outer end with a plurality of slots and an open inner end connected to the exhaust port of the vacuum cleaner. The valve housing is provided with a lower annular valve seat sealingly engaged with the interior wall of the housing, a transverse port through one side of the housing above the valve seat and a bored cylindrical connector receptacle fluidly communicating with the transverse port and fluidly connected to the air feeder hose. Air slots provided through the sides of the housing below the valve seat can be open or closed by special flaps hingedly mounted to the interior wall of the housing. A spherical valve member within the housing is actuated by pressurized air which can move the valve member from the transverse port to a fluidly sealing engagement with the valve seat.The invention also provides a method of operating the aquassage apparatus.

    Abstract: An air-activated water agitator for hydrotherapy treatments comprises an elongate, flexible conduit having a series of jet openings at intervals along its length and a coupling for connecting the conduit with a source of pressurized air such as a common household vacuum cleaner. The agitator advantageously provides maximum patient stimulation by permitting equalized pressurized air streams to be introduced into the water from all sides of the tank or from a localized portion of the tank without requiring potentially dangerous electrical devices to be in or near the water.
