Publication number: 20200163821Abstract: In one example, a therapy system includes a sleeve that defines an opening and has an outer surface and an inner surface. A therapeutic device is positioned so that the inner surface of the sleeve is disposed between the therapeutic device and an extremity of a user when the extremity is positioned in the opening defined by the sleeve. A manually operable tightening mechanism is provided that includes a lace connected to first and second portions of the outer surface of the sleeve and the lace is engaged with a mechanical lace tensioner that is operable to change, by either drawing the first and second portions toward each other or by allowing the first and second portions to move away from each other, a magnitude of a compressive force exerted by the sleeve on the extremity when the extremity is positioned within the opening defined by the sleeve.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2020Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventor: Jacob Randy Hall

Patent number: 10555863Abstract: In one example, a therapy system is provided that includes an inner layer and an outer layer including first and second portions and disposed outside of the inner layer. A therapeutic device, such as a cold pack for example, is provided that is configured to be positioned inside the inner layer. The therapy system also includes an adjustable tightening mechanism connected to the first and second portions of the outer layer and operable to change a position of one of the first and second portions relative to the other of the first and second portions so as to adjust a magnitude of a compressive force exerted by the outer layer on an extremity of a user when the extremity is positioned within an opening defined by the inner layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Jacob Randy HallInventor: Jacob Randy Hall

Patent number: 9655803Abstract: In one example, a rehabilitation device includes a fixed length leg support having first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having first and second ends, and a handle is rotatably coupled to the first ends of the elongate members. The rehabilitation device also includes an angularly-adjustable coupler by way of which the handle is rotatably coupled to the elongate members. The angularly-adjustable coupler is operable to implement variations to an angle cooperatively defined by the handle and the fixed length leg support, and the angularly-adjustable coupler includes a locking mechanism operable to releasably lock the handle at various different angular positions relative to the fixed length leg support.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: PROMOTUS LLCInventor: Jacob Randy Hall

Patent number: 9492342Abstract: A knee rehabilitation device is provided which can be used in various stages of knee rehabilitation to facilitate a full range of knee motion and promote joint flexibility following a knee impairment. The device, which can be used by a patient with or without the aid of medical personnel, is simple to use, compact, and is highly adjustable to accommodate different therapy regimens, and different leg sizes. To achieve maximum stretch of affected tissues of a pathologic joint, the device can be used without the need of lower extremity muscle involvement. A first embodiment device is machined or cast from a lightweight structural metal, such as titanium, aluminum or magnesium. The device includes a handle of adjustable length that is rotatably coupled to a parallel-beam leg support. The leg support provides attachment points for multiple adjustable bands that bridge the gap between the parallel beams.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Promotus LLCInventor: Jacob Randy Hall

Patent number: 9408770Abstract: In one example, a rehabilitation device includes a first element having first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends. A second element is rotatably coupled to the first element and includes first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends. One of the first and second elements is angularly adjustable relative to the other. A measurement device includes a measurement element connected to one of the first and second elements and configured for rotation relative to one of the first and second elements, such that when the rehabilitation device is operably disposed with respect to a joint of a patient, the measurement element is arranged for contact with anatomy of the patient. Finally, a scale is disposed proximate the measurement element and indicates a position of the measurement element relative to another portion of the rehabilitation device.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Promotus LLCInventor: Jacob Randy Hall

Publication number: 20150335132Abstract: In one example, a heating system is provided that is suitable for use with materials for topical application and/or transdermal delivery to a subject. The heating system includes a heating element and a container. The container includes a container body configured to enclose a portion of the heating element when the heating element is engaged with the container body, and the container further includes a removable lid configured to be attached to the container body.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2015Publication date: November 26, 2015Inventor: Jacob Randy Hall

Patent number: 8215167Abstract: A scoop for measuring and dispensing powdered or granular material has at least one projection, such as a fin, multiple intersecting fins, or a spike, which enable the scoop to be “parked” in the surface of a powdered or granular food product without the handle of the scoop coming in contact with the product. The projection is preferably molded unitary with the scoop and handle. Unless the container is vigorously shaken, dropped, or subjected to extreme accelerative or decelerative forces, the scoop will remain in its parked position until the container is reopened for a further dispensing of the powdered or granular food product. The scoop may be packaged as an assembly in combination with a discardable floating scoop retainer disk, that is placed on the surface of the granular or powdered product, and prevents the scoop from sinking below the surface during shipping and handling.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2009Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Inventor: Jacob Randy Hall
