摘要:
An oscillating positive expiratory pressure system including an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device, an adapter coupled to the device, and a control module coupled to the adapter. The control module provides real time information about the use of the device, and provides feedback and storage of the information to improve the use thereof.
摘要:
A device for facilitating or enhancing proprioceptive feedback during breathing and related exercises includes a user attachment component attachable to a user about the thorax. Two elongate tensile members are connected at proximal ends to the user attachment component at points essentially just below the armpits of a user. These two elongate tensile members are connectable at their distal ends to the feet of the user. Another two tensile members are connected at their proximal ends to a back portion or strap of the harness and at their distal ends to or about the user's hands.
摘要:
A lung instrument training device including at least one weighted insert, a hollow cylinder having a bottom and a top, wherein the weighted insert is positioned within the hollow cylinder, and a tube, wherein the distal end of the tube is connected to the bottom of the hollow cylinder, and a user breathes into the proximal end of the tube. A method for exercising lung capacity, strength and control including exhaling air from a user's lung in a tube connected to a cylinder, moving at least one weighted insert positioned inside the cylinder; and regulating the position of the weighted inserts within the cylinder.
摘要:
A method of and device for acquiring in-vivo images or quantitative/qualitative data (perfusion, blood flow, vascularization, contrast enhancement, selective blood supply management) of interior parts of the human body (20) is described, using an imaging system (21) and including the steps of positioning the body (20) relatively to the imaging system (21), applying a respiratory resistance device (10) to the respiratory system of the body (20), and performing an image acquisition step during or concomitantly an inhalation/inspiration/suction or exhalation/Valsalva/expiration phase, during which the body provides suction or exhalation against a resistance as provided by the respiratory resistance device (10).
摘要:
A system and method are configured to adjust the tidal volume of the breathing of a subject. The subject is self-ventilating (breathes under her own power). The adjustment of tidal volume accomplished through use of the system and/or method may reduce hypertension (e.g., lower blood pressure), reduce stress and/or anxiety (and related maladies), improve relaxation, decrease sleep latency, improve sleep quality, address other sleep disorders, and/or provide other health benefits. The system and method are effective in adjusting tidal volume while the subject is awake and/or asleep.
摘要:
A motion detection system (100) comprises a sensor (106) arranged to detect a movement pattern of a movement occasioned by a user, and a control device (108) arranged to receive movement data representative of the detected movement pattern. The control device (108) is further arranged to compare the detected movement pattern data with movement pattern data representative of a predetermined movement pattern and to determine a coherence parameter representative of the coherence between the detected and the predetermined movement pattern. The control device (108) controls a feedback device (110) for providing feedback to the user on the basis of the determined coherence parameter.
摘要:
A method of synchronizing a heart rate parameter of multiple users comprises generating a pacing signal (16) at a specific frequency, measuring a physiological parameter of each of the multiple users, presenting to each user (12) an output (20) based upon the measured physiological parameter of the respective user, and presenting to each user an output based upon the generated pacing signal. The measured physiological parameter could comprise heart rate variability. In one embodiment, the step of presenting to each user an output based upon the generated pacing signal, comprises presenting a first user with a first output, and presenting a second user with a second output, the second output out of phase with the first output.
摘要:
In a game device (200), a storage unit (201) stores information indicating a position, a posture and an orientation of a character object to serve as a model, breathing instruction information specifying a time period in which a player should exhale, and a position of a detecting unit (203) detecting a sound production of the player. A deriving unit (204) derives a time period in which the player is taking a breath from a sound production detected by the detecting unit (203). A scoring unit (205) compares the breathing instruction information stored in the storage unit (201) with a time period derived by the deriving unit (204), and gives scores the breathing of the player based on a degree of agreement therebetween. An output unit (206) outputs a result of scoring by the scoring unit (205). A display unit (202) displays an image containing the scoring result and the character object.
摘要:
A system for improving a breathing pattern with an interactive multi-sensory approach is provided. The system includes a breathing condition detector and a processor, for guiding a user to learn a suitable breathing pattern. The breathing condition detector attached to the user, is adapted to detect a breathing condition according to a natural expansion or a natural shrinkage of a body of the user. The breathing condition at least includes a breathing mode (breast breathing or belly breathing), breathing rate, and breathing depth. The processor displays a relative breathing condition picture reflecting the detected breathing condition detected by the breathing condition detector on a monitor. As such, the user can understand the practical breathing condition by viewing the breathing condition picture, so as to be instructed to learn to use a breathing pattern suitable for him.
摘要:
A deep breathing training device includes a band worn around the abdomen which carries a switch. The switch is connected to a human-perceptible indicator. When the wearer of the device takes a deep breath and expands their abdomen, the expansion of the belt activates the switch and causes the indicator to activate. Conversely, if the wearer merely expands their chest without expanding the abdomen, the band is not stretched and the indicator does not activate.
