Methods for treating a patient using time varying magnetic field are described. The treatment methods combine various approaches for treatment.

Combined methods for treating a patient using time-varying magnetic field are described. The methods include generating a time-varying magnetic field and applying the magnetic field to muscle fibers, neuromuscular plates, or peripheral nerves innervating muscle fibers within the body region of the patient such that a muscle is caused to contract. The treatment methods include generating optical waves and applying the optical waves to the body region of the patient to heat a target biological structure of the patient. The methods include providing an applicator housing a coil to generate the time-varying magnetic field and an optical waves generating device to generate the optical waves and attaching the applicator to the patient via a belt.

An article of clothing has a main body formed of high-tightness, main-body knitting fabric made of power net. The article of clothing includes front and back support pieces disposed around the waist and having no elasticity in a longitudinal direction thereof. The front support pieces are sewn to a front body at positions inside the left and right ilia of the abdominal pelvis. The back support pieces are sewn to a back body at left and right positions near the sacrum of the pelvis in central hip portions. Side waist pieces disposed between the front and back support pieces are formed by sewing high-tightness, net-like knitting fabric to the main-body knitting fabric at the top edge while leaving the bottom edge unsewn. The article of clothing has a pant-like shape with left and right leg parts that can be tightly fitted around the thighs.

A training method and device for the lower body providing a mode of exercise that manifests as a functional, closed-kinetic-chain training of the gluteus maximus and the hamstrings in a natural sequential firing pattern. The device construction allows an upright stance so that during exercise the lower body mimics a stride action, as in walking. By combining this natural stride action with adjustable resistance elements in the device, a wide range of uses, from strength training to rehabilitation, are achieved. The device generally includes footplates that are movable in forward and backward directions and also can be simultaneously moved upward against resistance. The heel of the foot can simultaneously be raised with respect to the toe of the foot, also against resistance.

A circularly shaped weight includes an opening in the center having a handle extending there through. The handle bi-sects the opening and creates equal openings for receiving a hand or foot of the user. The weight is particularly useful for individuals who may be incapacitated by arthritis or other physical ailments that may prevent them from properly grasping a weight. The novel shape is useful in stacking the weights when they are not in use. A plurality of circularly shaped weight may be fastened together via a coupler.

The invention provides instant refreshing wet water vermicelli and a processing method thereof. The instant refreshing wet water vermicelli comprises the following components in parts by weight: 40-50 parts of sweet potato starch, 4-10 parts of pea starch, 0.3-1 part of edible salt, 0-0.5 part of konjac glucomannan, 0-0.5 part of xanthan gum, 0.03-0.1 part of sodium polyacrylate, 0.05-0.1 part of sodium dehydroacetate and 35-45 parts of water. The wet water vermicelli refers to potato type instant refreshing wet water vermicelli which is smooth in taste and rapid to eat and can be made into bean vermicelli or vermicelli. The making process is easy to realize, the requirements of customers for the taste of the bean vermicelli and eating convenience and rapidness can be met, and the forms, types and sales market of the instant bean vermicelli are expanded.

An intra-vaginal device for controlling urinary incontinence, designed to be placed longitudinally in the vagina, includes: a. a deformable distal portion, placed in the subvesical region of the vagina, characterized by a deformable state and an un-deformable state; b. a deformable proximal portion placed in the sub-urethral portion of the vagina, characterized by a deformable state and an un-deformable state; c. a deformation controlling mechanism interconnection said distal portion and said proximal portion, adapted to reversibly transform said distal portion and said proximal portion form said deformable state to said un-deformable state; and from said un-deformable state to said deformable state; wherein upon predetermined amount of intra-vaginal pressure applied on said proximal pressure, said deformation controlling mechanism is adapted to transform proximal portion from said un-deformable state to said deformable state such that pressure is applied on said urethra.

The invention involves a device and method for training individuals a proper striking and throwing technique, through simulation, to increase the accuracy and consistency of strikes and pitches, as well as to strengthen muscles through resistance training in order to increase stamina and to reduce muscle fatigue and risk of injury. The system includes a sphere in the form of a game ball secured to each distal end of a resilient member so that a trainee may grip one of the spheres or handle in a desired manner to utilize his/her grip and snap the wrist in a desired manner work the forearm and hand muscles associated with a proper release of the ball for a desired pitch or proper strike of the game object. The dynamic action provided by the resilient member provides strengthening and muscle memory which can be repeated in a game situation.

This multi-abdominal exercise machine is comprised of at least one foot-bar arranged to move up and down a vertical angular path for exercising the abdominal muscles otherwise known as the rectus abdominis. It is used in the sitting position. A controlled weight resistance mechanism is connected to the said foot-bar for providing adjustable resistance to movement. A seat that tilts up and down during the exercising movements together with and on the same axis as the foot-bar. At least one adjustable hand bar is positioned to aid entry to and exit from the machine and to stabilize the user while exercising. A dynamic back support is positioned to provide a contra, massage and stability while exercising.

A method for using the abdominal exerciser is comprised of sitting on the dynamic seat, putting one's feet onto the foot-bar and lifting the knees towards the stomach. The said lifting causes the abdominal muscles to exercise, which effect is enhanced as the said seat moves.

The invention discloses a pneumatic body weight support monitoring training system and a pneumatic body weight support monitoring training method. The pneumatic body weight support monitoring training system comprises a supporting frame, an airbag, an inflating subsystem, a treadmill, a treadmill control subsystem, a gait analyzing and gait correcting subsystem, and a human-computer interaction computer, wherein the inlet of the airbag is connected to the rear part of the supporting frame; the treadmill is positioned in the airbag; a pressure sensor is arranged on the lower surface of the treadmill and is used for measuring the pressure on the treadmill; a computer transmits a control command to the inflating subsystem and the treadmill control subsystem, and transmits a data command with the gait analyzing and gait correcting subsystem. According to the body weight support training system disclosed by the invention, the upper limbs of a patient are not restricted; the independent training participating consciousness of a sick child can be improved remarkably; rehabilitation assessment accompanies the overall rehabilitation process, so that the rehabilitation is based on evidence. Moreover, the structure is safe and simple.

The present invention belongs to the field of food producing technology, and is especially one kind of dispersant for vermicelli. The dispersant for vermicelli consists mainly of soybean lecithin 15-25 weight portions, salad oil 20-40 weight portions, sodium bicarbonate 3-8 weight portions, guar gum 5-15 weight portions, citric acid 3-8 weight portions, table salt 5-15 weight portions, and modified starch 15-30 weight portions. The present invention also provides corresponding vermicelli, which consists of the dispersant 1.5-2 weight portions and plant starch 80-120 weight portions. Experiment shows that the dispersant for vermicelli has no harmful matter contained and effect similar to traditional dispersant. The vermicelli with the dispersant is one kind of health food possessing high safety, good look, good taste, physical, chemical and hygienic indexes meeting relevant requirements, balanced and rich nutrients and high marketability.
