Devices For Mobilizing The Hip Joint Capsule And Methods Of Using Same
US Patent:
2013034, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:
Jun 18, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/921048
Inventors:
Carl W. Steele - Port Clinton OH, US
International Classification:
A61H 1/02
US Classification:
601 33
Abstract:
A method for mobilizing a hip joint capsule of a patient using a resilient bolster. In accordance with the method, the patient assumes a lateral position, with the hip capsule to be treated superior. The resilient bolster is placed between the patient's legs as proximal to the patient's crotch. A force is applied to patient's superior leg to move it downwardly from a resting position. During downward movement of the patient's superior leg, the bolster functions as a fulcrum and the patient's superior femur functions as a lever arm to create a first class lever that partially distracts the femoral head from the acetabulum. After application of the force, the resiliency of the bolster causes the patient's superior leg to return to the resting position. The movements may be repeated, and the degree of hip flexion and rotation may be varied to affect different regions of the hip capsule.
