Therapeutic jolt pulley
A therapeutic jolt pulley having a chamber, a pin, a wheel with an elongated pin hole, a cable with two handles is invented. The pulley's configuration is generally like a conventional therapeutic pulley except it can create jolts when the cable is pulled and the wheel rotates. The jolt can stimulate a body part, like shoulder.
People pull a simple pulley for the frozen shoulder therapeutic exercises. The pulling process is smooth and without shaking. RS suffers frozen shoulder for more than three years. He has gone through cortisone, therapeutic and herbal treatments without any improvement. The simple pulley was what he used at home. While he was using it for his shoulder, he thought it'd be a useful stimulation if the pulley could generate jolts while he was pulling. And, he thought the stimulation should be helpful for his shoulder. With this need in mind, a therapeutic jolt pulley is invented. We made a model and he used it. Within a week, his condition was greatly improved.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONA therapeutic jolt pulley has a configuration generally like an existing simple pulley used for frozen, shoulder exercises except the pulley wheel has an elongated pin hole instead of a circular one which a conventional pulley has.
One objective of the invention is to generate jolts for muscle, tendon, and joint stimulation while a user uses his/her two hands alternatively to pull the cable to turn the pulley.
Another objective is to generate different intensities of jolt.
The configuration of the invention is described as follows.
