Provided is a personal mobility device comprising a frame including two side structures. In one embodiment, main mobility wheels are coupled to ones of the side structures, the main mobility wheels configured to contact a surface upon which the mobility device is designed to move. In this embodiment, the mobility device further includes a knee rest rotatably coupleable to the frame, the knee rest being adjustable from a first substantially-vertical position to a second angled position, and further wherein the main mobility wheels are configured such that a kneeling occupant may propel the personal mobility device using the main mobility wheels.

A surgical patient interface including a base; a platform coupled to the base and including a first end and a second end, the platform configured to transition between a first position and a second position about a pivotable axis stationary relative to the base; a first abutment and a second abutment each adjustably coupled to the platform. In the first position, the platform extends between the first end and the second end in a substantially horizontal direction relative to the base, and the first abutment and the second abutment are separated by a first distance along the substantially horizontal direction. In the second position, the platform extends between the first end and the second end in a substantially vertical direction such that a torso of a patient extends in the substantially vertical direction, and the first abutment and the second abutment are separated by a second, different distance along the substantially vertical direction.
摘要:
An exercising apparatus and method. The apparatus has an endless sport mat with an outer layer made of elastic material and an inner layer made of a flexible abrasion resisting material, horizontally spaced rollers about which the endless mat is looped, including front and rear driving rollers, and at least three supporting rollers for supporting a selected middle body area of a user, and a rigid frame for housing the rollers. During three stages of advancement of the selected middle body area, (1) a portion of the endless mat is depressed between first and second rollers, (2) the depressed mat portion rotates the first roller and the endless mat is manually driven, and (3) the selected middle body area is massaged by the second roller while performing a propelling movement.

A personal mobility device comprising an open frame having a front structure, a rear structure, and a side structure. The side structure has an upper rail and a lower rail coupleable to the front structure and the rear structure. In one embodiment, a main mobility wheel is coupled to the side structure, and a knee rest is rotatably coupled to the front structure. The knee rest is adjustable from a first substantially-vertical position coupled to the front structure to a second rearwardly and downwardly-angled position from the front structure.

Several embodiments of supplemental support structures for receiving a non-invasive dynamic motion therapy device are provided. The non-invasive dynamic motion therapy device provides vibrational treatment to patients suffering from postural instability and other conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, as well as paraplegic patients. The non-invasive dynamic motion therapy device is typically employed following a determination that vibrational treatment of a patient's musculoskeletal system and/or internal organs would produce a beneficial result. The supplemental support structures enable the patient to be supported on a vibrational table or unstable vibrating platform of the non-invasive dynamic motion therapy device during treatment.
摘要:
Methods and systems of applying physical stimuli to tissue are disclosed. The methods can include reducing or suppressing pancreatitis in a subject by administering a low magnitude, high frequency mechanical signal on a period basis and for a time sufficient to reduce or suppress pancreatitis. The methods can include enhancing healing of damaged tissue in a subject by administering to the subject a low magnitude, high frequency mechanical signal on a periodic basis and for a time sufficient to treat the damaged tissue. The systems can include a device for generating a low magnitude, high frequency physical signal and a platform for applying the low magnitude, high frequency physical signal to the subject for a predetermined time.

摘要:
A spinal traction/decompression device suitable for home or clinical treatment of lumbar and cervical spine pathology. The traction apparatus has a substantially flat upper body support that is moveable with respect to a fixed base. The upper body support is adapted to receive the upper torso of an individual leaning forward in a prone position while kneeling on a knee cushion. A pelvis/hip restraining portion holds the individual's lower torso in position with respect to the fixed base when the upper body support is moved. Lumbar traction may be induced by a user positioning their upper torso on the upper body support and moving it forward or backward with respect to the fixed base. The upper body support may also be divided into two independently moveable sections such that cervical traction can be induced in a neck region of a user. The traction force is preferably supplied by the individual pushing or pulling the upper body support forward with their arms. The upper body support may rotate, side bend, flex or extend with respect to the fixed base to alter the position of the spine when the lumbar traction is induced.

An apparatus and method for providing treatment feedback relating to a patient undergoing therapeutic treatment of tissue during dynamic motion therapy are provided. The apparatus includes a platform configured to support a body of the patient; an oscillator connected to the platform and configured to impart an oscillating force at a predetermined frequency on the platform for transmitting mechanical vibration energy through the patient's body; and a processing device in operable communication with the platform for processing data related to the therapeutic treatment and for determining the amount of mechanical vibration energy transmitting through the patient's body. The apparatus further includes a treatment feedback indicator for indicating (e.g., displaying) the amount of mechanical vibration energy transmitting through the patient's body.
