Abstract
The present invention is a rehabilitation and mobility improvement apparatus (RMIA) and method of use for use in providing increased mobility in persons having reduced strength and mobility due to for instance injury or illness. The apparatus is adapted so as to allow a person who could not readily slide or move their arm or other mobility reduced appendage (MRA) to slide or move their MRA, such as across a flat surface such as a table top or a floor, so as to provide exercise for such MRA, and so as to increase strength and mobility in such MRA.
Claims20
A method of using a rehabilitation and mobility improvement apparatus (RMIA) comprising providing a RMIA comprising a base having a low friction contact surface defining at least one roller device mounted to said base, said RMIA further having a retention device removably attached thereto, mounting said RMIA to a user's appendage, and moving said RMIA across an interface surface such that said RMIA is brought into colliding contact with a target object so as to provide for rehabilitation and improved mobility of said appendage.
A method of using a rehabilitation and mobility improvement apparatus (RMIA) comprising providing a RMIA comprising a base having a low friction contact surface and a cradle flexibly connected to said base and adapted such that when said base is moved across an interface surface said cradle may be in a flexed off-axis position relative to said base, said RMIA further having a retention device removably attached thereto, mounting said RMIA to a user's appendage, and moving said RMIA across an interface surface such that said RMIA is brought into colliding contact with a target object so as to provide for rehabilitation and improved mobility of said appendage.
A method of using a rehabilitation and mobility improvement apparatus (RMIA) comprising providing a RMIA comprising a base having a low friction contact surface defining at least one roller device mounted to said base, said RMIA further having a hook and loop mounting strap retention device removably attached thereto, mounting said RMIA to a user's appendage, and moving said RMIA across an interface surface such that said RMIA is brought into colliding contact with a target object so as to provide for rehabilitation and improved mobility of said appendage.
A method of using a rehabilitation and mobility improvement apparatus (RMIA) comprising providing a RMIA comprising a base having a low friction contact surface and a cradle flexibly connected to said base and adapted such that when said base is moved across an interface surface said cradle may be in a flexed off-axis position relative to said base, said RMIA further having a hook and loop mounting strap retention device removably attached thereto, mounting said RMIA to a user's appendage, and moving said RMIA across an interface surface such that said RMIA is brought into colliding contact with a target object so as to provide for rehabilitation and improved mobility of said appendage.
