US Patent:

53986962, Mar 21, 1995

Filed:

Jul 14, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/091645

Inventors:

Ronald L. Wiley - Oxford OH

Assignee:

Isatec, Inc. - Galena OH

International Classification:

A61B 5103

US Classification:

128774

Abstract:

The present invention is directed in one aspect to a protocol or method for lowering the resting systolic and diastolic blood pressures of patients. This protocol commences with a determination of the maximal isometric force which can be exerted by a patient with any given muscle (e. g. , skeletal muscle or group of muscles) of such patient. The determined maximal isometric force is recorded. The patient, then, is periodically permitted to intermittently engage in isometric contraction of the given muscle at a fractional level (e. g. up to about 60%) of the maximal force determined for a given contraction duration followed by a given resting duration. A perceptible indicia correlative to the isometric force exerted by the given muscle is displayed to the patient so that the patient can sustain the given fractional level of maximal force. As another aspect of the present invention, disclosed is an apparatus for use by a patient in carrying out the foregoing protocol. This apparatus includes the dynamometer for a patient to activate with a given muscle (e. g.

International Classification:

A63B 21/002
A63B 24/00

US Classification:

482 8, 482 91

Abstract:

System, method and apparatus for carrying out isometric exercises for therapeutic purposes. As employed in a therapeutic mode the apparatus may only be programmed within mandated therapeutic parameter limitations. During therapeutic trials, the user is visually and aurally cued throughout the test sequence and the therapeutic data evolved during the regimen is recorded and recoverable from archival memory. Particular target force modes can be selected to allow stimulation of nitric oxide release.
