Abstract:
A method of treating a patient to activate cellular function comprises the steps of activating an acoustic shock wave generator to emit acoustic shock waves and subjecting target tissue of the patient to a plurality of treatments of exposure to the acoustic shock waves. The acoustic shock waves provide pressure pulses each comprising a plurality of cycles of a positive pressure part and a negative pressure part. The shock waves comprise an energy density of less than 0.5 mJ/mm2. Subjecting the target tissue to the plurality of treatments of exposure to the acoustic shock waves is performed for causing stimulation of cells of the target tissue to initiate genetic expression of cells of the target tissue. Stimulation of cells of the target tissue to initiate genetic expression causes at least one of release of exosomes, activation of at least one cellular receptor, and shedding of micro-vesicles from the cells.
Abstract:
An apparatus for treating dermatological tissue, including at least two pins configured to be inserted in dermatological tissue to deliver electromagnetic energy to target dermatological tissue, and an electrical signal generator electrically coupled to the at least two pins, and creating a pulsed electrical signal across the at least two pins.
Abstract:
A medical apparatus for performing electroacupuncture for treatment of traumatic brain injury and cerebral thrombosis is disclosed. The device comprising a 6-DOF (Degree of freedom) Robotic arm, a multi-functional tool tip, an acupuncture friendly MRI helmet and a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The Acupuncture Robot is able to operate with certain needles automatically by inserting a needle, turning, or shaking in certain frequency ranges and apply electrical stimulation to enhance the effects.
Abstract:
This invention comprises a mounted unit that combines the healing power of touch with functional, multi-faceted human engineering body manipulation and stress relief by incorporating the most basic principles of massage, acupressure, reflexology, rubbing/scratching, Shiatsu, and other health improvement techniques to provide the user with an easy-to-use, self-administrable stimulation experience. The unit contains a plurality of generally domed protrusions from each of which extends a nail-like rib running through the center of the domed surface, which perform the massaging experience when a user rubs his or her back against it at a pressure desirable to the user. The mounted unit can comprise a removable handheld unit that increases the body areas which can be massaged by the invention and a hinged door, behind which can be stored specialized attachments that are removably fastenable onto the protrusions for more focused massage.
Abstract:
A mobile automatic massage apparatus which includes a base of an automatic guided vehicle and a few robotic arms attached above it. A 3D scanner on the pole behind the touch screen monitor takes images of the surrounding environment and guides the movement of the vehicle and positioning of the arms. The hands attached to the robotic arms perform the massage according to the programs of a central computer. This massage apparatus can perform similar professional massage provided by the physicians or therapists to improve the blood circulation of the patients and reduce the pain.
Abstract:
A device vibrates body tissue to reduce pain experience by the body tissue in a therapeutic procedure. The device includes a frame and a tip connectable to the frame which can be activated to produce vibration. An electromagnetic reader is connected to the frame and includes an antenna for sending and receiving electromagnetic radiation. An electromagnetic tag is connected to the removable tip, and also has an antenna for sending and receiving electromagnetic radiation in communication with the electromagnetic reader antenna. The antennas are disposed proximate to each other when the removable tip is connected to the frame, whereby the electromagnetic tag can transmit information to the electromagnetic reader.
Abstract:
A method for providing a resuscitating treatment of a human being, which has the following actions sensing human muscle activity, human breathing activity, human neural activity or human cerebral activity, determining whether the human being is in a state of developing apnoea by a processing unit based on the sensing, provoking an induced aspiration reflex by a resuscitating stimulation of a respiratory area of a human brain stem by providing a stimulus with a stimulation device to a location distant from the respiratory area of the human brain stem upon the processing unit determining the state of developing apnoea, the location being a nasal filter of the human being or a nasopharyngeal area of the human being.
Abstract:
Methods, devices and systems for recovering motor control of an area in the body of a patient affected by a neurological disorder. A device vibrotactilely stimulates a substitute site for the affected area thereby recovering the motor control of the affected area. The stimulation provided by the device is volitionally controlled by the patient.
Abstract:
A wearable infrastructure is used with a music/multimedia player to acoustically provide at last one symbol sequence to at least one biologically active zone on the user wearing the wearable infrastructure. The invention includes the symbol coding sequence as a program system comprising program steps residing in a memory accessibly coupled to a computer within the music/multimedia player, directing the music/multimedia player to deliver the symbol sequence to at least one of the possibly multiple transponders. The program steps are often coded in an intermediate language interpreted by the computer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to massages for acupoints in sensitive private parts of male and female private parts. It comprises a cushion shell, knocking and oscillating massagers for acupoints of the private parts, a sponge pad, an arc cover board, a bottom cover of cushion shell, a computer controlling board of integrated circuits and a hand-held switch controller. The knocking and oscillating head for massaging private parts is arranged and mounted at the position of the central line C of the cushion shell. An arc supporting plate for knocking and oscillating massages for private parts on it is installed at the massage head. The distances between each of the knocking massagers can be adjusted within a proper range. The benefits of the invention are its simple structure, good curative effect and convenience in use.
