Abstract:
A wearable medical treatment system and method are provided for the treatment of tissue ailments and/or conditions including vascular disease, deep vein thrombosis, orthostatic intolerance, reduced blood flow, weak bone structure, orthostatic hypotension, or other conditions, using a vibrating plate. The wearable system and method use magnetic layers to generate magnetic fields to provide vertical and/or horizontal vibrational motion to a platform, thus allowing the system to have a low profile.
Abstract:
A vibrational therapy apparatus comprising: at least one platform member (12a, 12b) including at least one vibrating plate assembly (100a, 100b) for providing vibrational energy; and at least one positioner (18a, 18b) operatively associated with said at least one platform member for guiding patient tissue adjacent said at least one vibrating plate assembly.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an apparatus for measuring changes in blood flow. The apparatus includes a band capable of expansion or contraction that is configured for placement around a portion of a subject's body. The apparatus further includes at least one sensing mechanism operatively connected with the band, the at least one sensing mechanism configured to measure and transmit data corresponding to blood flow in the portion of the subject's body.
Abstract:
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 (104) configured to support a body of the patient; an oscillator (112) 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 (402) 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 (108) for indicating (e.g., displaying) the amount of mechanical vibration energy transmitting through the patient's body.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for treating a patient by using an ultrasonic treatment apparatus having an operating unit in communication with an ultrasonic transducer treatment module, including performing ultrasonic therapy to a treatment area of the patient via the ultrasonic transducer treatment module; receiving first data relating to the treatment area of the patient; processing the first data into second data via the operating unit; transmitting the second data to a transferring device; extracting the second data from the transferring device; and evaluating adherence to prescribed ultrasonic therapy using the second data transmitted by and extracted from the transferring device.
Abstract:
A mechanical loading apparatus having an oscillating platform and a signal modulating assembly for modulating an operating signal of the oscillating platform for therapeutically treating damaged tissues, bone fractures, osteopenia, osteoporosis, or other tissue condition, as well as postural instability. The signal modulating assembly modulates the operating signal such that the oscillating platform oscillates at frequency which simulates human activities, such as, walking, jogging, running, stair climbing, etc. The mechanical loading apparatus further includes a control panel having control knobs or buttons for manually selecting a desired activity to be simulated by the mechanical loading apparatus.
Abstract:
A system and apparatus for remote monitoring of data related to therapeutic treatment of tissue are provided. The system and apparatus includes a platform (104) configured to support a body of the patient; an oscillator (112) connected to the platform and configured to impart an oscillating force at a predetermined frequency on the platform for transmiting mechanical vibration energy through the patient's body; and a processing device (402) in operable communication with the platform for processing data related to the therapeutic treatment. The apparatus further includes a communication device (434) in operative communication with the processing device.
