Abstract
A platform (10) allows for hand exercise and wrist massage in self-administration situations. The hand-exercising and wrist-massaging platform (10) comprises a base pad (20), a kneadable mound (30) projecting upward from the base pad (20), and a massaging stage (40) located forward of the mound (30). As a person's hands are exercised by kneading mound (30), his/her wrists are massaged by the stage (40). Alternatively, a person can stand above the platform (10) and exercise his/her hands by kneading the mound (30).
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 (e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/400,360 filed on Jul. 27, 2010, the entire disclosure of this provisional patent application is hereby incorporated by reference. Should any inconsistencies exist between the incorporated provisional patent application and the present disclosure, the latter governs to the extent necessary to resolve definiteness issues.
- The carpal tunnel is a narrow channel in the wrist formed by ligament and bone. Tendons and nerves pass through the carpel tunnel on route to the hand. When these tendons are stressed, they swell inside the carpel tunnel and compress adjacent nerves. This compression causes numbness and/or weakness in the hand and can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
- A self-administration platform is provided which can be used for the treatment of carpal tunnel and other arm-hand-wrist conditions. The platform allows hand exercising in manner imitating the motions of kneading dough and at the same time massages the wrists in a manner known to relieve discomfort. The hand-exercising and wrist-massaging platform can be used conveniently in almost any home setting without a power source and/or without the supervision of medical personnel.
-
FIGS. 1-2 show front and rear views of the hand-exercising and wrist-massaging platform. - Referring now to the drawings, a hand-exercising and wrist-
massaging platform 10 is shown. The illustratedplatform 10 comprises abase pad 20, akneadable mound 30, and a relativelyfirm stage 40. Themound 30 is adapted for hand kneading to provide hand exercise and thestage 40 is adapted for wrist engaging to provide wrist massage as themound 30 is being kneaded. Theplatform 10 can also comprise raisedridge 50 adapted to angle arm for optimum wrist massaging by the stage. - The
base pad 20 has atop surface 21, afront wall 22, arear wall 23, andlateral walls 24. Thekneadable mound 30 projects upward from the base pad 20 (i.e., upward from its top surface 21) and resides on rear region of thebase pad 20. Thestage 40 is located forward of themound 30 and resides on mid region of thebase pad 20. And the raisedridge 50 is located forward of thestage 40 and resides on a front region of thebase pad 20. - The
base pad 20 can have a generally rectangular plan shape with rounded rear corners, and a substantially uniform thickness. Thepad 20 can be preferably dimensioned for use on standard tables, desks, and other flat surfaces. Additionally or alternatively, astiff mat 60 can be positioned under thebase pad 20 to serve as a sturdy foundation for it and its topographic items. - The
mound 30 can comprise any projected mass which allows kneading actions (e.g., pushing, pressing, pulling, pinching, etc.) to be performed thereon. In the illustratedplatform 10, themound 30 has a ramp-like shape with atop wall 31 slanting upward in the rearward direction. Arear wall 32 andside walls 33 connect thetop wall 31 to thebase pad 20. Other slanted, non-slanted, curved, and/or random mound geometries are possible and contemplated. - The
stage 40 comprises, in the illustratedplatform 10, a pair ofbumpy rostrums 41 situated to receive both wrists. Therostrums 41 can be parabolic in shape, as shown, with their apexes pointed in the forward direction. Depending upon platform design, they may be recessed, raised, and/or flush relative to thetop surface 21 of thebase pad 20.Ribs 42 can project outward from therostrums 41 for massaging engagement with the wrists. - Although the
stage 40 comprises arostrum 41 for each wrist, this need not be the case. Asingle rostrum 41 can be provided to accommodate both wrists of a person using theplatform 10. Or theplatform 10 can be designed for use with only arm, whereby only onerostrum 41 would be provided. Additionally or alternatively, other types of ribs and non-rib massaging features can be utilized in therostrum 41. - The illustrated
ridge 50 comprises a rounded hill occupying the front edge region of thebase pad 20. The ridge'stop wall 51 reaches from the pad'sfront wall 22 to itstop surface 21, and the ridge'sside wall 52 connects thetop wall 51 thereto. The height of theridge 50 can be greater than that ofstage 40 and/or less than that of thekneadable mound 30. - The
base pad 20, thekneadable mound 30, thestage 40, and theridge 50 may be formed in one piece. Specifically, for example, an elastomeric casing, having a configuration corresponding to the platform profile, can surround a core having the desired characteristics of thepad 20, themound 30, thestage 40, and theridge 50. - To use the
platform 10, a person would situate his/her arm so that the hand is positioned palm-down to knead themound 30 and the wrist engages thestage 40. With two-handed design, as is illustrated, both hands are positioned palm-down on themound 30 and both wrists engage thestage 40. Themound 30 is then kneaded with the hand or hands, whereby wrist massaging simultaneously occurs. The kneading motion can entail, for example, the pressing-pushing-pulling actions done when kneading dough for bread baking. - Additionally or alternatively, a person can stand adjacent to the
rear wall 23 of thebase pad 20 and extend his/her arms downward to thekneading mound 30. Themound 30 can then pressed-pushed-pulled-pinched in a dough-kneading fashion. By standing above the device, the person would be able to exert more pressure and his/her movements would more closely imitate kneading actions. - The
platform 10 can be heated or cooled prior to kneading to enhance its therapeutic effects. In a home setting, this heating/cooling can be accomplished with ordinary kitchen appliances. Theplatform 10 can be heated, for example, in a microwave. And/or it can be cooled, for example, in a food refrigerator. - The
platform 10 can be constructed in any suitable manner allowing it to be used in the desired setting. Thepad 20, themound 30, thestage 40, and theridge 50 can be formed in one piece during platform production. Such a one-piece construction can comprise, for example, a one-piece core surrounded by a one-piece core. Alternatively, multiple core members and/or plural casing parts can be assembled together to form theplatform 10. - In any event, the platform core can be constituted non-uniformly so as to have distinct properties depending upon its corresponding component. For example, the pad core portion can have rigid qualities, the mound core portion can have kneadable consistencies, the stage core portion can have a firm feel, and the ridge core portion can have cushioning attributes. This can be accomplished by different core compositions and/or curing techniques being employed.
- Additionally or alternatively, core portions can incorporate materials causing or enhancing their desired characteristics. The rigid/firm portions (e.g., the pad/stage portions) can adopt reinforcing beams, rods, or plates. The kneadable portion can adopt pellets, ovoids, balls, or other granular objects that are movable with each other a generally fluidic non-friction fashion. The ridge portion can integrate foam or other cushioning packing.
- In some cases, however, the core can comprise the same material throughout the
platform 10, as the geometries of the topographic components will result in the desired characteristics. The relatively large mass of themound 30, for example, would result in it being more compressible or “kneadable” than thethinner stage 40, especially when thepad 20 is supported on a sturdy stratum. For similar reasons, theridge 50 could be cushionable, but not necessarily kneadable, due to its proportional size. - The casing could be, for example, cloth, latex, nylon, polyester, or other covering that appropriately encases the core. The casing can be elastic and/or resilient to provide or enhance the compliancy of appropriate platform parts (e.g., the
mound 30 and/or the ridge 50). Alternatively, the casing can be nonelastic and/or nonresilient whereby the core is relied upon to convey these characteristics. - A single molded structure constituting both the core and the casing is also feasible and foreseeable.
- One may now appreciate that the hand-exercising and wrist-massaging
platform 10 can be used for the treatment of carpal tunnel and other arm-hand-wrist conditions. Although theplatform 10, thebase pad 20, the kneadingmound 30, the massagingstage 40, theridge 50, and/or theunderlay 60 have been shown in described with respect to one or more embodiments, modifications may be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without necessarily departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims.
