Abstract: A wearable thermotherapy apparatus includes at least one air bladder configured to conform to a contour of a portion of a user's body, at least one thermal element disposed adjacent to the air bladder and configured to apply heat to a targeted portion of the user's body, a support structure configured to limit outward expansion of the air bladder, a control unit configured to regulate heat and compression delivered via the thermal element and air bladder, a power source operably connected to the thermal element and control unit, and a user interface including one or more buttons and indicators to control and display compression and heat levels.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are therapy systems including a rolling element. The therapy systems can include a plurality of individually activatable therapy elements disposed on the rolling element. The therapy systems can include a sensor disposed on the rolling element and configured to detect a portion of the rolling element in contact with a user's body. The plurality of individually activatable therapy elements can be selectively activated based on an output of the sensor.

Abstract: Systems and processes for determining pressure settings for a percussive massage applicator are described. According to one embodiment, a method comprises obtaining an operational current measurement of the motor when the motor has a load. difference value is determined between the current measurement and the operational current measurement. The difference value is compared to two or more predetermined ranges of values that correspond to a pressure level of the percussive applicator. The pressure level may be provided as feedback to the user.

Abstract: A self-contained reciprocation mechanism is coupleable within an enclosure of a percussive massage device and is configured to receive an applicator head for stimulating a user's muscles. The self-contained reciprocation mechanism includes a spatial positioning bracket, a semi-cylindrical bracket, a piston, a motor, a crank, and a reciprocation linkage. The spatial positioning bracket is configured to receive the other interconnected components of the self-contained reciprocation mechanism and position said components relative to each other at close predetermined tolerances to assure that the interconnected components are properly positioned to provide consistent operating characteristics. The self-contained reciprocation mechanism is coupled within the enclosure using screws which extend through mounting tabs of the spatial positioning bracket.

Abstract: In various aspects, the invention includes a wearable therapy delivery device for applying thermal therapy and/or compressive therapy. In some cases, the wearable therapy delivery device includes an inner layer configured to contact a body surface of a user; an outer layer; temperature therapy modules enclosed between the inner layer and the outer layer proximate the inner layer; and/or compressive therapy modules located proximate the one or more temperature therapy modules. In some cases, the compressive therapy modules are configured to force the temperature therapy modules toward the body surface of the user.

Abstract: A percussive massage device includes a self-lubricating cylinder extending along a longitudinal axis. A motor shaft rotates about a central axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A crank coupled to the shaft includes a pivot offset from the central axis. A reciprocation linkage is coupled between the pivot and a piston that moves longitudinally within the cylinder. An applicator head coupled to a second end of the piston has an end exposed outside the cylinder for application to a person receiving treatment. An annular gasket positioned between the cylinder and the applicator head removes lubricant from an outer surface of the piston to inhibit the lubricant from reaching the applicator head.

Abstract: A percussive massage device includes an enclosure having a cylindrical bore that extends along a longitudinal axis. A motor has a rotatable shaft that rotates about a central axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A crank coupled to the shaft includes a pivot, which is offset from the central axis of the shaft. A reciprocation linkage has a first end coupled to the pivot of the crank. A piston has a first end coupled to a second end of the reciprocation linkage. The piston is constrained to move within a cylinder along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical bore. An applicator head has a first end coupled to a second end of the piston and has a second end exposed outside the cylindrical bore for application to a person receiving treatment. A motor controller measures current applied to the motor and displays a pressure indicator responsive to the measured current.
