Patent number: 9636247Abstract: An adjustable lordosis orthopedic insert and method of adjusting the lordosis orthopedic insert for an anatomy of a patient has a first support member configured to support a lordosis of a user's spine and a second adjustable member permanently connected to the first support member. The second adjustable member also has a relatively movable other end with a plurality of lordotic position settings to match corresponding first support member lordotic attachment positions to enable the first support member to conform to a desired setting angle. Fasteners extend through the first support member and the second adjustable member to permanently fix one of the plurality of lordotic position settings to configure the first support member at the desired lordosis setting angle. When appropriately adjusted to a setting angle, the lordosis orthopedic insert can be mounted within the flexible padded covering member for fixation to an appropriate back.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: ORTHOMERICA PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: John J. Miller, Robert B. Hamilton, III

Publication number: 20160256130Abstract: The systems and methods described herein include a non-invasive diagnostic tool for intracranial hypertension (IH) detection and other neurological conditions like mild and moderate TBI that utilizes the transcranial Doppler (TCD) measurement of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) in one or more cerebral vessels. A headset includes a TCD scanner which automatically locates various cerebral arteries and exerts an appropriate pressure on the head to acquire good CBFV signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2016Publication date: September 8, 2016Inventors: Robert B. Hamilton, Leo Petrossian, Dan Hanchey

Patent number: 7473235Abstract: The present invention provides a universally applicable orthosis such as a hip orthosis and includes a semi-rigid hip engaging unit that can be easily bent for attachment to a user's waist. A semi-rigid thigh support member is also easily bent for attachment to either the right or the left thigh of a user. A closure unit enables the user to provide a compressive force on the waist with a mechanical force advantage. The hinge unit extends between the hip engaging unit and the thigh unit to stabilize the limit of the extension and rotation of the thigh relative to the waist of the user. Although the waist engaging unit and the thigh support member are relatively flexible when they bend about the user, they are structured to become rigid to provide stable anchor points for the hinge unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Orthomerica Products, Inc.Inventors: Shannon R. Schwenn, Robert B. Hamilton, III, John N. Penn, Michael M. Brady

Patent number: 7306571Abstract: An orthosis can comprise a first body member that can conform to a portion of a patient's body and a second body member that can conform to another portion of a patient's body. A closure unit having a first connector member with a first plurality of support posts can be operatively connected to the first body member, while a second connector member with a second plurality of support posts can be operatively connected to the second body member. An elongated flexible pull member can operatively extend between the respective first and second support posts so that when tightened by a patient, a pull member slides across the support posts to provide a mechanical force advantage to draw the first body member and the second body member against the patient's torso. A closure unit can be of a modular configuration for subjective mounting on various components of an orthosis to provide a highly adaptable closure unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2007Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: Orthomerica Products, Inc.Inventors: Shannon R.
