US Patent:
4454868, Jun 19, 1984
Filed:
Apr 5, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/365524
Inventors:
Phillip E. George - Rock Island IL
Assignee:
Specialty Devices, Inc. - Davenport IA
International Classification:
A61F 500
US Classification:
128 69
Abstract:
A low force skeletal adjusting device comprises a first elastomeric member having a surface for contacting the hand. Said surface located opposite a surface for contacting a selected portion of the anatomy. Said elastomeric member is retained within a solid rigid member to provide support therefor. The surface for contacting the hand is substantially larger in diameter than the surface for contacting the anatomy thus, the force per unit area applied to the surface for contacting the hand is substantially less than the force per unit area applied to the selected anatomy by the surface for contacting same. Therefore, the requisite therapeutic force can be advantageously controlled to a fine degree.
