Abstract:
The present invention is a vibratory patient support system. The support system has at least one bladder, at least one vibrational device, and first and second control units that respectively control (a) the inflation and deflation of the at least one bladder and (b) vibrational device. The at least one bladder (i) inflates when receiving a fluid at a faster rate than the fluid exiting the bladder; (ii) deflates when the fluid leaves the bladder at a faster rate than the fluid entering the bladder, and (iii) has a top surface that allows a user to apply pressure thereon and a bottom surface. The vibrational device (a) is positioned (i) under the bottom surface of the bladder, or (ii) within the bladder and below the top surface of the at least one bladder so it does not contact the top surface; and (b) generates a vibrational force. The first control unit can adjust the inflation of the at least one bladder. The second control unit can adjust the vibration forces generated from the vibration device. The first and second control units can operate in conjunction with each other to provide the desired vibrational application to the user.

Abstract:
A mattress vibrator comprises a mat having a hard plate and an elastic plate which are laminated on each other, and the mat is provided with a vibration generator, a vibrator which generates vibration by operating a moving body in an axial direction of the vibrator is used as the vibration generator, the vibrator is disposed on substantially a central portion of one end of the hard plate, an axis of the vibrator is disposed within a plate thickness of the hard plate.
Abstract:
A mask assembly for massage chairs includes a first part connected to the backrest of the massage chair and including a front opening and a concaved space which is in communication with the front opening and accommodates the user's head. A second part is pivotably connected to the first part and can be pivoted to cover the front opening of the first part. The first and/or second parts can be equipped with audio device and/or and an a-ray emitting device.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for therapeutically treating bone fractures, osteopenia, osteoporosis, or other tissue conditions, postural instability, or other conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, Crohn's disease and kidney and gall bladder stones. An oscillating platform apparatus supports a body to be treated on a non-rigidly supported upper plate. An oscillator is positioned within the oscillating platform apparatus and is configured to impart an oscillating force on the body. The body can be supported by a support structure of which a portion thereof contacts the non-rigidly supported upper plate. Two accelerometers are mounted to the oscillating platform apparatus for determining the acceleration and mass of the body being. Once the mass of the body is determined, the amplitude of the frequency of the oscillating force and/or frequency of the oscillating force is adjusted to provide a desired therapeutic treatment to the patient. Information received from the two accelerometers is also used to determine the posture of the patient and the transmissibility of the mechanical vibration energy generated by the oscillating force through the body.
Abstract:
A massage device of the invention includes a base cover; a guiding device provided in the base cover and a moving base. The moving base is suspended above the guiding device. The moving base includes a bottom and a shield covered thereon to form a compartment. The moving base includes a massage system mounted on the shield of the moving base; a first transmission system to move the moving base along the guiding device and a second transmission system for driving the massage system, both the first and second transmission systems being contained in the compartment.
Abstract:
An ergonomic support surface (2) is disclosed that supports a user's hand or wrist while moving in contact with the ergonomic support surface (2) to control a hand activated device, for example, a computer mouse on a mouse pad (6). The ergonomic support surface (2) may comprise a base (4) with a support structure (7) upon which the user's wrist or hand rests. The support structure (7) provides a massaging member, for example, a roller (8) that imparts a massaging action to the user's hand or wrist while the user's hand or wrist moves in contact with the supporting structure (7).
Abstract:
The vibrating device for fitness equipment includes a control unit mounted onto a preset location of the fitness equipment; and a vibrating body assembled into a space within the fitness equipment. The vibrating body allows signal transmission with the control unit. The vibrating body has a vibrating source, vibrating seat and massager, the vibrating seat with an exposed part being mounted over the vibrating source. The massager is mounted onto the vibrating seat for human contact. When the control unit transmits an active signal to the vibrating body, the vibrating source is activated, and the vibrating seat is driven synchronously to generate vibration for the desired massage effect.
Abstract:
A rotary massaging system for a vehicle seat comprises a rectangular frame having a carriage mechanism slideably disposed therein for travel between ends of the frame; a adjustment unit for adjusting the position of the carriage mechanism within the rectangular frame; and a massage unit mounted on the carriage mechanism.
