Apparatus, System And Method For Carrying Out Protocol-Based Isometric Exercise Regimen
US Patent:
7699757, Apr 20, 2010
Filed:
Dec 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/634834
Inventors:
William E. Clem - Bozeman MT, US
Richard Rae Clem - Tigard OR, US
Thomas J. Wernikowski - Bozeman MT, US

Assignee:
Cardiogrip IPH, Inc. - Boise ID
International Classification:
A63B 23/16, A63B 21/002, A63B 21/02, A63B 21/05
US Classification:
482 49, 482 91, 482121, 482128, 7337903
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method for isometric exercise that safely reduces resting blood pressure and increases overall cardiovascular health. The apparatus includes a handle or grip configured to provide natural resistance to force and maximize user comfort. The system includes squeezing the handle or grip of the apparatus with a force that is less than the maximum squeeze force of the user, thereby reducing blood flow through contracting arm muscles and safely increasing blood pressure during exercise. Resting blood pressure is reduced through regular use of the system. The method includes measuring and recording the maximum squeeze force of a user, calculating a fractional force using the duration of exercise or a desired fractional force percentage, and alternately inducing the user to apply the fractional force for a calculated time and inducing the user to apply a lesser fractional force or no force for a calculated time.

International Classification:
A61B 5/22
US Classification:
7337902
Abstract:
A method for isometric exercise safely reduces resting blood pressure and increases overall cardiovascular health. The method utilizes an apparatus that provides resistance to force and maximizes user/patient comfort. The handle or grip of the apparatus may be squeezed with a force less than the maximum squeeze force of the user, thereby restricting blood flow through contracting muscles and safely increasing blood pressure during exercise. Resting blood pressure is reduced through use of the method. The restricted blood flow reduces localized necrosis due to obstruction of blood supply. The method includes measuring and recording the maximum squeeze force of a user, calculating a fractional force using the duration of exercise or a desired fractional force percentage, and inducing the user to apply the fractional force, a lesser fractional force or no force for a time.
