Abstract: A device having a number of exercise therapy systems contained within a single housing is capable of providing multiple exercise therapies to a predetermined position of a user's body and thus efficiently exercising those portions of the user's body. To provide additional convenience, the device includes a user control panel that is movably coupled to the housing, thereby allowing removal in a manner which allow for easy user access. The multiple therapies can include both a vibration therapy and an electrical stimulation therapy, thus providing for more efficient exercising of the user's muscle tissue adjacent the housing.
Abstract: A laundry ball can be used to accommodate detergent free washing of clothes and other laundry items. To provide a more efficient and more washer friendly laundry ball, the structure is fabricated to have a flexible outer surface. In one embodiment the walls of the laundry ball have only a single layer of flexible material, while another embodiment includes walls having multiple layers with the outer layer being more flexible. The material making up this flexible outer surface is resilient and causes less damage to the interior of the washing machine. Added friction also causes more movement and agitation of the laundry ball when used, thus enhancing its operation.
