Therapeutic Exercise Device
US Patent:
2004004, Mar 4, 2004
Filed:
Feb 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/373525
Inventors:
Marin Craciunescu - Seven Hills OH, US
International Classification:
A63B021/012, A63B026/00
US Classification:
482/114000, 482/140000
Abstract:
A therapeutic exercise device, including receptacle means designed to support a person's lower or upper extremities. A substantially rectangular support base () is slidably associated with the carriage (), in such a manner as to allow a longitudinal displacement of the carriage on the support base. In addition an adjustable resistance arrangement is included to allow increased frictional resistance in between the carriage, and the support base Consequently with increased frictional resistance, increased muscular energy is required to achieve the longitudinal displacement of the carriage on the support base. Thus a more versatile therapeutic device is provided, that permits a simple and accurate measurement of the rehabilitation performance of the lower or upper extremity affected. This device may be employed for strengthening abdominal and back muscles in the process of physical therapy, especially in facilitating Mc Kinsey exercises for lower back. Also, the present invention may be employed as a transferring device for a patient from one surface such as a wheelchair, to another surface such as a bed.
Therapeutic Lower Extremity Device
US Patent:
2004004, Mar 11, 2004
Filed:
Feb 26, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/375703
Inventors:
Marin Craciunescu - Seven Hills OH, US
International Classification:
A61F005/00
US Classification:
602/013000
Abstract:
A therapeutic lower extremity device is provided. The device generally comprises a pair of coupling members and interconnected by a tensioner structure The tensioner structure enables an adjustable linear displacement between the coupling members and and may include a goniometer arrangement for angle readings between the coupling members when applied on a patient. A pair of air inflatable elements and A are provided in apposition to each other in each of the coupling members. The air inflatable elements are preferably connected to corresponding air pressure gauges to facilitate a reading of the muscle contraction strength. The present device may be employed in the rehabilitation process of the lower or upper extremities in an essentially isometric manner.
