Disclosed are devices, systems, and methods of a wearable compression control system for actively controlling an applied pressure against an extremity to restrict blood flow along the extremity of a user performing an exercise or undergoing a therapy. In some embodiments, the system can include an inflatable band that extends circumferentially around the extremity. The inflatable band can include a bladder having an expandable inner volume for receiving fluid to cause the inflatable band to increase in thickness and increase an applied pressure against the extremity. The system can further include a controller that releasably couples to the inflatable band and includes a processor having a programmed pressure range. The processor can be configured to actively maintain the applied pressure within the programmed pressure range throughout the user performing the exercise or the user undergoing the therapy.

A weight-bearing stance corrected foot orthotic (12) is adapted to be used on the foot (2) of a anaesthetised patient in the supine or prone position, the weight bearing stance corrected foot orthotic (12) adapted to dorsiflex the toes of the forefoot of the patient an angle of between 30° to 50° to the plane of the foot (2). A surgical foot orthotic (12) is formed by the steps of disposing a patient's foot (2) or both feet in a weight bearing neutral position and dorsiflexing the forefoot or forefeet of the patient such that patient's foot (2) or feet are in or towards the Windlass configuration. A first orthotic (5) correcting the stance of the patient in the weight bearing position with dorsiflexed forefoot is formed and this is scanned to form an electronic image of the corrective load bearing surface. The electronic image is modified to include one or more guide apertures or cut-outs (9) and a surgical corrected weight-bearing orthotic from the modified electronic image is 3-D printed with the one or more guide apertures or cut-outs.

A physical therapeutic apparatus that has a table-stable base, upon which is mounted a fulcrum pivot point, and an occipital cradle engaged upon the pivot point for selectable and lockable angular motion about the pivot point. The apparatus also has an adjustable chin rest, the chin rest having left and right arms, each arm adjustable for length, each arm adjustably mounted for lateral motion at opposite ends of a pivot point, each arm terminating in releasably connectable ends. An optional dorsal wedge is engaged upon the occipital cradle.

An orthotic substantially precludes a human wearing it from rolling from her or his side to her or his face or back. The garment (such as a vest or jacket) has an open top portion, a front that can be closed by fasteners, a substantially closed rear, a first receptacle on the front, and a second receptacle on the rear and functionally cooperating with the first receptacle. Third and fourth receptacles are preferably also provided, the first and second receptacles on the left side of the garment, and the third and fourth on the right side. The garment may be primarily of a stretchable mesh fabric. A cylindrical or prismatic bolster (e. g. of firm foam or rubber) is insertable into, and removable from, each of the first and second receptacles, or each of the third and fourth receptacles.

An arm support system incorporates a harness with a support plate engaged to the harness. The support plate has an engagement element. A wrist strap has a mating engagement element and the wrist strap is adapted to be engaged to a wrist of an injured arm. Engagement of the mating engagement element onto the engagement element supports the injured arm.

A compression garment system and method that may include a head garment portion configured to be donned on a head of a body. The compression garment and method may further include a neck garment portion configured to be donned on a neck of the body. A controller may be configured to control pressure applied by each of one or more head pressure applying regions and/or each of one or more neck pressure applying regions to move lymph at least from the head towards the neck.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus, system, and method for positioning, holding, and/or distracting the bones and associated ligaments and tissue of the knee during surgery. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a modular distractor system may provide enhanced structurally stability and support of a patient's limb, which may provide stability, resulting in a better outcome for the patient. In another aspect of the present disclosure, modular distractor components are described, which provide for interchangeability and a tailored approach that accommodates variable patient limb size and specific surgical application.

A harness system includes one or more harness assemblies. Each harness assembly includes a flexible restraint formed of a coated fabric. An adjuster is provided to adjust an effective length of the flexible restraint. The adjuster includes a frame, a restraint guide, and a cam.
