Abstract:
An agility ladder has a plurality of rungs including first and second rungs. A left link assembly has ends pivotally attached to left ends of the first and second rungs, and a right link assembly has ends pivotally attached to right ends of the first and second rungs. The left and right link assemblies each include first and second links having equal lengths, with the first and second links joined at a link pivot joint which allows the first and second links to form an angle between them of less than 180 degrees.
Abstract:
A distributor for distributing a fluid has a motor, a base member and a rotor, which is driven by the motor and rotates against the base member. The base member has an infeed nozzle and a plurality of outfeed nozzles, while the rotor has a feed channel and a vent channel. The feed channel provides a fluid pathway between the infeed nozzle and one or more first nozzles of the outfeed nozzles and the vent channel provides a fluid pathway between one or more second nozzles of the outfeed nozzles and atmosphere.
Abstract:
An exemplary system for generating a counter-stimulation in a patient suffering from RLS includes a device configured and arranged to generate a counter-stimulation in a patient suffering from RLS, the counter-stimulation of an amplitude, intensity, and time duration lower than that which would wake the patient and higher than that sufficient to relieve RLS, or sufficient to relieve RLS symptoms and allow the patient to return to sleep, a controller configured and arranged to drive the counter-stimulation generation device, the controller being in communication with the counter-stimulation device, and a base configured and arranged to hold the counter-stimulation generation device adjacent to a patient, the counter-stimulation device attached to the base. An exemplary method of treating RLS includes selecting a patient experiencing RLS, and stimulating a portion of the patient at an amplitude, intensity, and duration sufficient to act as a counter-stimulation to RLS.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices used to treat eyelids, meibomian glands, ducts, and surrounding tissue are described herein. In some embodiments, an eye treatment device is disclosed, which includes a scleral shield positionable proximate an inner surface of an eyelid, the scleral shield being made of, or coated with, an energy-absorbing material activated by a light energy, and an energy transducer positionable outside of the eyelid, the energy transducer configured to provide light energy at one or more wavelengths, including a first wavelength selected to heat the energy-absorbing material.
Abstract:
It is one aspect to provide a novel trigger point therapy device which is effective for pain management with the treatment of trigger points, releasing tight and painful myofascial fascia, and general self massage. In preferred embodiments, the apparatus comprises: a flexible strap; a first knob mounted to the strap and protruding out from a side of the strap; a second knob mounted proximate to the first knob and protruding out from the side of the strap in the same direction as the first knob; and a strap adjustment means; and wherein the device is configured so that a user may apply varying degrees of pressure to tight and painful myofascial fascia providing hands free self massage.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a kinesiologic tape which is provided with at least one molded body, said molded body comprising metal, healing stones, wood, ceramics and/or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A hand-held massage device and methods for applying pressure therapies to various parts of the anatomy using the device are provided. The device is an elongated, rigid, substantially planar member, configured with a series of alternating concave and convex shapes, and a knob-like projecting member at an end thereof.
Abstract:
A dildo, including a solid high density heat-resistant glass substrate completely covered by a relatively inert metal plating such as gold, silver, nickel, chromium or titanium, the substrate having a shaft portion, a base portion at one end and a head portion at the opposite end. In one configuration the head and base portions are enlarged, the shaft portion having spaced protuberances. In another configuration the shaft portion is serpentine in form, the head portion is tapered and having a hole formed there through for a tether, and the base portion has oppositely projecting protuberances. The metal plating can have a variety of coloring patterns.
Abstract:
An erogenic stimulation device for men having a compact state for inconspicuous storage when not in use which expands to an approximate size and shape of a female pelvic region when filled with warm water, the cooperation of warm water with elastomeric interior and exterior elements provides a more natural sensation of warmth, pressure, and responsive motion for the user, the device including contours simulating the structural features of the pelvic region and buttocks and an anatomically correct depiction of female genitalia including vulva and vaginal opening.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide fetal monitoring belt devices. The fetal monitoring belt devices include belts and a back support. In certain embodiments, the belts may further include one or more rows of buttonholes to provide multiple places for attachment of one or more ultrasound transducers via buttonhooks. In certain embodiments, the back support may further include an interior pouch to hold a therapeutic device, such as a hot or cold pack and/or a vibration element. The fetal monitoring belt devices of the present invention provide a comfortable, long-term, stable way of maintaining the proper positioning of ultrasound transducers during prenatal exams, labor and delivery.
