A device for the detecting of an individual's Gell-Coombs Types I, II, III and IV immune response reactions to edible substances includes a mixture of an edible substance and a solution of non-toxic aprotic solvent, such as DMSO and water. The solvent acts as a carrier transporting the food beneath the skin. The device holds the mixture against the skin and prevents evaporation of the solution. The method includes the preparation of a plurality of mixtures of different edible substances and a solution of non-toxic aprotic solution, the application of the mixture to the skin of the individual and the holding of the mixture on the skin for a predetermined period of time. The mixture is subsequently removed, and the site is inspected to determine whether a Type I, II, III or IV Gell-Coombs immune response reaction has occurred. Control sites containing the solvent only and a control site containing a food substance which causes the skin to fluoresce upon exposure to an ultraviolet light may also be used. Fluorescence indicates whether the mixtures have been in sufficient contact with the skin for the required period of time.

An exercise device for exercising the lower legs of airline passengers. The device includes a support structure, and a foot platform that is movably mounted to the support structure. A motor is interconnected with the foot platform by a crank arrangement to provide powered reciprocation of the foot platform. The exercise device has a low profile, enabling the exercise device to fit under an airline seat. Elastic straps or other suitable restraints are provided on the moving foot platform to hold a passenger's feet in place. The ankle motion resulting from the reciprocation of the foot support stretches and/or relaxes the lower leg muscles to alleviate blood stasis of the lower leg.

An apparatus for simultaneously causing, measuring, and recording the reflex action of both left and right Achilles tendons of a person to facilitate direct comparison thereof, and to facilitate quicker reflex testing, is provided. The apparatus includes a support structure for positioning a person whose reflexes are to be tested so that both left and right Achilles tendons can be struck simultaneously, a reflex hammer capable of striking both left and right Achilles tendons simultaneously and with substantially identical force, and a device for measuring and recording the reflex movement, of each of the person's feet in response to striking both Achilles tendons.

A method for measuring and recording reflex response includes the steps of attaching an electrode to a first part of a test subject, connecting the electrode to an electrocardiograph, striking a body part of the test subject to elicit a reflex response, or stimulating a reflex by electrical current directed to the tendon, the current being similar to one generated by an electromyograph or a cardiac pacemaker, and measuring and recording the reflex response on the electrocardiograph. The method provides a simple, reliable procedure for producing accurate recordings of a patients reflex responses.
