Patent number: 11901061Abstract: Many physical therapy practitioners have not adopted telehealth because of practical, regulatory and/or payor/reimbursement complexities. Systems and methods described herein can facilitate the adaptation of telehealth in physical therapy. A unique first virtual physical therapy session for a first patient (at a first location) using a first instance of a physical therapy system can be conducted by a practitioner (at a location) at a time in a first channel. A a unique second virtual physical therapy appointment for a second patient (at a second location) using a second instance of the physical therapy system can be conducted by the practitioner (at the location) at the time in a second channel. The practitioner monitors the first channel and the second channel during the time in order to coach, correct, and/or counsel the first patient and the second patient.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: PT GENIE, LLCInventors: Reuben Gobezie, Laurence D. Higgins

Publication number: 20230356032Abstract: A patient can undergo physical therapy to rehabilitate a musculoskeletal condition. The success of the rehabilitation relies in part on whether the patient uses an exercise band with the correct resistance for their condition. In order to select the correct resistance, a controller can instruct the patient to perform a directed movement with an exercise band, receive exercise data from at least one sensor (e.g., a camera, like a front-facing camera, that records the patient, a plurality of sensors on or near the patient's skin, etc.) as the subject performs the directed movement, and calculate a pull force exerted by the patient on the exercise band based on at least a portion of the exercise data. The adequacy of an exercise with the exercise band for the patient is determined based on the pull force can be determined based on the calculated pull force.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Reuben Gobezie, Laurence D.

Patent number: 9402730Abstract: A humeral prosthesis includes a stem component with a lateral stem body and a head component joined by an inclination component or block. The stem component and the inclination component are provided with openings/holes/fenestrations/eyelets that allow attachment of soft tissue (and optional fracture repair). A first plurality of suture holes are provided to the lateral stem body and a second plurality of suture holes are provided on the medial aspect of the inclination block. These suture holes are intended for subscapularis or lesser tuberosity reattachments. Inclination angle, radial offset, and version are adjustable and are separately and independently set and fixed.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Arthrex, Inc.Inventors: Evan S. Lederman, Reuben Gobezie, Gregory A. Guederian

Publication number: 20150297274Abstract: A tensioning construct with a tape securely attached to a locking button provided with a securing mechanism in the form of a trap door-like mechanism. The tape is looped so that the looped portion of the tape is passed around a feature of the button to allow easy sliding of the tape. One free end of the tape is fed through the securing mechanism (trap door) of the locking button while the other free end is fixed to the locking button. The button self-engages without the need of a locking instrument, to lock the tape as it is tightened during the cerclage repair. The tensioning construct may be provided as a pre-assembled construct.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2015Publication date: October 22, 2015Inventors: Peter J. Dreyfuss, Thomas Dooney, JR., Brian S. Cohen, Reuben Gobezie
