A personal item includes a body being carried by a user and a plurality of different energy elements secured in the body. The energy elements are selected from a group consisting of hologram element, germanium, titanium, and an element carrying negative ions for generating a particular magnetic force which helps rebalance and restore natural energy pathways of the user. So, when the user carries the body, the energy elements are held close enough to the user in order to react positively with the user's energy field. Therefore, the personal item of the present invention is able to improve the blood circulation, recovery time, flexibility, strength, balance, healing and energy as well as contributing to an overall sense of health and well being among its users. |

A light board machine useful for visual training and therapy purposes includes a planar backboard having an array of light locations having two colored lights (red and green), a microprocessor controller for controlling the operation, sequencing and timing of the lights, and a user-feedback device, such as a touch-activated panel, which cooperate to provide visual training and therapy functions. The present invention includes the option to use red (lights) only, green only or red and green in a random order. The present invention also includes letters and numbers behind some of the lights (e.g. 80 of the 120 lights), and has a sequential pattern option of 30, 60, 90 or 120 lights. This invention is compatible with the use of red/green glasses to accommodate training of binocularity and depth. This invention is used in a therapy setting and will helps to enhance eye hand coordination, response/reaction time, peripheral vision/awareness, localization, awareness of space and depth perception, eye tracking (saccades and occulomotor), sequential movement and processing, as well as a cognitive loading component that therapists use in a variety of ways for individual patients and specific therapy modalities. |

A kinesthetic Chi rope employs a pair of handles, each handle formed as a cylindrical rod with a resonating chamber attached to one end, the chamber having a first coil spring secured as by welding to the internal surface of the chamber and a ball bearing surrounded by the coils which causes an audible vibration when the handle is shaken. A magnet having cylindrical polarity is housed within the cylindrical rod and a second coil spring is compressed between the outer surface of the resonating chamber and the cylindrical magnet, serving as a conductor of the vibratory forces. When the vibration issues from the resonating chamber, the vibrations pulsate through the magnet, into the handle and the hands of the user causing a tactile stimulation to flow into the user's hand, arm and upper torso, an auditory signal to be received from such vibration, a visual stimulus received, and a sinew tension produced by the predetermined weight of the handle, all four inputs combining to provide a kinesthetic input into the user's body restoring homeostasis and balancing to his/her nervous system through her/his acupuncture meridians. A regimen of 12 exercises using the chi handle and rope are taught for stimulating all body parts. |

A therapeutic device, such as an exercise device, includes the principles of osteogenic repair by incorporating a loading mechanism into the exercise device. By doing so, the therapeutic device provides an increased osteogenic effect, thereby enhancing the benefits of the therapy. As an example, a exercise device includes a support surface for supporting all or part of the bodily tissue of an individual using the device. A linear or rotary loading mechanism associated with the frame or a rotational element of the exercise device drives the support surface at a selected load and frequency, thereby inducing mechanical loading of bodily tissue adjacent to the support surface sufficiently to facilitate the growth, development, strengthening, and/or healing of bone tissue. The loading mechanism may be incorporated into any exercise device, including standard exercise devices such as rowing machines, stair climbing machines, elliptical trainers, bicycles, cross-country ski trainers, treadmills, or weight trainers. |

A playing rack intended for stimulating children having functional disorders includes a base and a platform, on which a child can stand, holding onto and/or be held by a holding device, e.g., a hand railing. An intermediate plate is mounted between the base and platform to give the platform a limited movability. To achieve a stimulation of the growth of the child's skeletal structure the platform can be vibrated by vibrators. To stimulate the child's motor function and give a positive playing experience the platform can be given other movements. Thus, fluid operated bellows can raise, lower and tilt the platform. Motors attached between the base, the intermediate plate and the platform can displace the platform in a controlled way in various ways, e.g., rotating it. Input means are mounted at the railing to be operated by the child, giving signals to a computer connected to the vibrators and motors to make the platform vibrate and perform other movements as controlled by the child's input. The child can watch a display and hear sound from a loudspeaker. The computer can then make the platform move according to the pictures shown and/or the sound. |
