Abstract
In one example, a therapy system is provided that includes an inner layer and an outer layer including first and second portions and disposed outside of the inner layer. A therapeutic device, such as a cold pack for example, is provided that is configured to be positioned inside the inner layer. The therapy system also includes an adjustable tightening mechanism connected to the first and second portions of the outer layer and operable to change a position of one of the first and second portions relative to the other of the first and second portions so as to adjust a magnitude of a compressive force exerted by the outer layer on an extremity of a user when the extremity is positioned within an opening defined by the inner layer.
Claims20
A therapy system, comprising:
- a layer including first and second portions having respective edges that are connected to each other while being spaced apart from each other by a separation;
- a therapeutic device configured to be positioned between the layer and an extremity of a user when the extremity is positioned within an opening defined by the layer;
- and
- an adjustable tightening mechanism connected to the first and second portions of the layer and operable to change, by either drawing the edges of the layer toward each other or by allowing the edges of the layer to move away from each other, a magnitude of a compressive force exerted by the layer on the extremity when the extremity is positioned within the opening.
A cryotherapy system, comprising:
- a layer including first and second portions having respective edges that are connected to each other while being spaced apart from each other by a separation, and wherein each portion includes a respective free end;
- a cold pack configured to be positioned between the layer and an extremity of a user when the extremity is positioned within an opening defined by the layer;
- and
- an adjustable tightening mechanism connected to the first and second portions of the layer and operable to change, by either drawing the edges of the layer toward each other or by allowing the edges of the layer to move away from each other, a magnitude of a compressive force exerted by the layer on the extremity when the extremity is positioned within the opening.
