DYNAMIC SHOULDER BRACE

A novel shoulder brace that can provide active dynamic support to an injured shoulder while providing the capability to also raise the attached arm and support the arm in an elevated position. The brace can be used both in conjunction with a rehabilitation intervention program to maintain or restore range of motion and strength and to assist in functional tasks at work and at home. The brace works by supporting a locking or ratchet mechanism connected to an arm cuff from a chest piece that, when desired, the user can move the arm connected to an injured shoulder and supported by the arm cuff from a normal side resting position to an elevated position 90 degrees from the resting position while transferring the load created by the arm and whatever the hand is holding back to the chest piece and to the torso of the user. A release mechanism can be used to release the locking or ratchet mechanism to let the user lower their arm back to a resting position.

20230218422 · 2023-07-13 ·

A head restraint assembly includes a restraint platform configured to receive a head of a subject. First and second head restraints are attached to the restraint platform and configured to selectively engage first and second sides of the subject's head. The first head restraint has a first cheekbone flange configured to selectively engage a cheekbone region of the subject's head on the first side of the subject's head. The second head restraint has a second cheekbone flange configured to selectively engage a cheekbone region of the subject's head on the second side of the subject's head. A cheekbone strap extends between the first and second cheekbone flanges and is configured for selectively tightening the cheekbone flanges against the subject's cheekbone regions. The cheekbone strap is configured to be spaced from the subject's head when the subject's head is restrained by the head restraint assembly.

Methods of using the brace and methods of using the brace and treating shoulder injuries are similarly provided.

Pediatric support module for patient support apparatus

A patient support apparatus comprises a support structure comprising a head end, a foot end, a base, and a patient support deck. The patient support deck comprises a fowler section at the head end and a foot section at the foot end. The fowler section is capable of articulating relative to the base. The patient support apparatus further comprises a pediatric support module comprising a seat section disposed between the fowler section and the foot section. The pediatric support module is integrated into the patient support deck and comprises a lid and a body.

SLING DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING THE LEG AND FOOT OF A USER AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
20230210681 · 2023-07-06 ·

The invention is directed to a sling that can be used to support the foot and leg of a user off the ground, in a forward position in front of the user. Advantageously, the sling can be used as a mobility aid for users with a limited ability to bend their knee or those that need to use crutches, canes, walkers, and the like. The sling device includes a foot support loop sized and shaped to accommodate a user's foot. The support loop is operatively attached to an adjustable strap that wraps around the user's shoulder and/or back for support. Advantageously, when a user's foot is positioned within the loop and the strap is configured around the user's shoulder and/or back, the user's foot and leg are lifted in a forward direction, ensuring that the foot is positioned off of the ground.

Arm support apparatus
11547592 · 2023-01-10 ·

The arm brace supports the arm weight. The arm brace has a soft elastic arm pad that partially surrounds and protects the forearm. The arm pad is secured to a platform that is supported by a brace structure that is secured to the waist and the thigh of the patient. The weight of the arm can be supported by the hips. The brace is releasably coupled to a side of a patient's torso and thigh with belts. The brace provides rotational stability that immobilizes the arm regardless of the position of the patient. The brace has a hinge adjacent to the hip that allows the brace to immobilize the forearm while the patent dynamically moves during activities including: standing, walking, sitting, and lying down. The hand extends out from the brace so the user can perform activities such as eating, typing, and grasping.
