    Abstract: An intramuscular stimulation needling device for chronic pain relief. The needling device can include a stepper motor, a needle, and a control unit. The needle can poke an affected muscle tissue and driven by a stepper motor in reciprocating manner. In each cycle, the needle moves a pre-determined distance forwardly in a first half cycle and retracts to original position in a second half cycle. The control unit can accelerate of the needle one or more times in the first half cycle at spaced intervals and decrease the velocity in the reverse pattern in the second half cycle.

    Abstract: A device performs a flexion process or an extension process with respect to a knee joint. The device includes a support frame extending in a longitudinal direction. A flexion system includes a foot support assembly configured to translate relative to the support frame in the longitudinal direction thereof and a flexion linear actuator configured to cause the translation of the foot support assembly. The extension system an extension pad assembly including a first expansion pad configured to engage an upper surface of the leg at a position above the knee joint and a second expansion pad configured to engage the upper surface of the leg at a position below the knee joint. An extension linear actuator is configured to translate the extension pad assembly with respect to the transverse direction. A power system is configured to selectively actuate each of the flexion linear actuator and the extension linear actuator.
