20090312674 | ELECTROMAGNETIC VALVE AND PNEUMATIC MASSAGE APPARATUS - A compact and lightweight electromagnetic valve with a check valve is provided. In the electromagnetic valve, a plunger | 12-17-2009 |
20100121230 | THERAPEUTIC APPARATUS FOR TREATING ULCERS - A method and apparatus for providing concurrent applications of intermittent pneumatic compression therapy and vacuum assisted closure therapy generally comprises a wound dressing for introduction of a negative pressure into a wound on a patient's foot and a foot wrap for application of positive, compressive forces to substantially all of the patient's foot. A suction pump, having an associated vacuum sensor and first feedback mechanism, supplies negative pressure to the wound dressing. A ventable source of pressurized gas, having an associated pressure transducer and second feedback mechanism, supplies positive force to the foot wrap. At least one control system is operably associated with the suction pump and ventable source of pressurized gas for controlling the negative and positive applications of pressure to the patient's foot. Controlled modes for operation include continuous or intermittent application of one or both therapies and simultaneous or cycled application of the therapies. | 05-13-2010 |
20130041295 | STRETCH AND COMPRESS MUSCLE EXERCISE AND SIMULTANEOUS AEROBIC AND STRENGTH TRAINING EXERCISE METHOD FOR MOTIONLESS PATIENT OR NON-PATIENT [...] AS APPLIED TO ALZHEIMER, PARKINSON AND CANCER STUDIES - Aerobic exercise and strength training exercise are simultaneously provided to the body of a motionless patient or non-patient, to gradually increase body strength, increase elasticities of limb arteries, veins and adjacent muscles, reduce heart workload, increase whole body blood flow, provide more oxygen and nutrients to the whole body, increase the rate of removal of cell waste products, to treat, prevent, reduce the rate of progression and reduce the risk of recurrence of diseases and conditions of the whole body. Apparatus provides stretching and compressing muscle exercise for hips, shoulders and limbs of motionless patient or non-patient. A new scientific explanation of aerobic exercise, e.g. walking, is provided which shows the sequence of events within the body during aerobic exercise which causes whole-body benefits shown in hundreds of aerobic exercise studies. The explanation is applied to Alzheimer, Parkinson and Cancer studies to explain the results of the studies. | 02-14-2013 |
20150126913 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SKIN TREATMENT - A method of skin tissue ( | 05-07-2015 |
20150133830 | PNEUMATIC SOMATOSENSORY STIMULATION DEVICE AND METHOD - A device for providing tactile stimulation of a subject via a pulse of compressible fluid, typically for medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The device preferably includes a high pressure fluid source and a low pressure fluid source. A pressure valve selectively connects the pressure sources to an outlet conduit. The outlet conduit includes an applicator for directing pulses against the skin of a subject. The pulses may be applied via one applicator or a plurality of applicators, and may be applied in one pattern or several patterns at various application sites. A method of providing tactile stimulation is also disclosed. | 05-14-2015 |
