34 results about "Muscles of the hand" patented technology

The muscles of the hand are the skeletal muscles responsible for the movement of the hand and fingers. The muscles of the hand can be subdivided into two groups: the extrinsic and intrinsic muscle groups. The extrinsic muscle groups are the long flexors and extensors. They are called extrinsic because the muscle belly is located on the forearm. The intrinsic group are the smaller muscles located within the hand itself. The muscles of the hand are innervated by the radial, median, and ulnar nerves from the brachial plexus.

Handlocking method of increasing a golf club's rotational force

A handlocking method of increasing a golf club's rotational force and acceleration on a downswing utilizing a grip handlocking and levering device. The device is a tapered sleeve having a tongue shaped lever attached around an outer circumference surface of a proximal end of the sleeve. The device is attached to a grip end of a club. The golfer's lead hand is placed on the grip end of the club with the lever positioned behind and supporting the meaty side of the palm. The player holds the grip end of the club with the muscles of the hands relaxed while swinging the club such that a levering effect is created on the shaft of the club causing an increase in the rotational force and acceleration of the golf club.

Alarm Device to Prevent Drowsiness in Drivers

The invention relates in general to an alarm device with the shape of a ring, comprising a housing located on its upper end, which contains an alarm system, which is activated upon the first signs of drowsiness or sleep of a human body. The relaxation or loosening of the muscles of the hand causes the pressure exerted on a lever located adjacent the ring to cease, which results in the enlargement of the circumference of the ring so that it will exert pressure on a knob, which in its turn will actuate a horn capable of producing a shrill sound and a vibrator, upon which the driver will recover a state of consciousness.

Configurable apparatus and method for treating carpal tunnel syndrome

The apparatus of the present invention stretches the carpal ligament and the flexor retinaculum, as well as the superficial structures and muscles of the hand, in a safe manner under precise control of the patient or a healthcare professional. A first embodiment of the inventive apparatus includes a housing for receiving the patient's hand with a bottom portion having a first pressure element positioned to contact the hypothenar region of the patient's hand and a second pressure element positioned to contact the thenar region of the patient's hand, and a top portion having a central longitudinal pressure element positioned to contact the central longitudinal dorsal region of the patient's hand. The first and second pressure elements are connected to active pressure sources (or source), such that when the hand is inserted into the housing, the first and second pressure elements are activated and exert pressure on the respective hypothenar and thenar regions of the hand while the central dorsal portion of the hand presses against the third pressure element. This forces the thenar and hypothenar regions apart thus advantageously stretching the carpal ligament, the flexor retinaculum, and superficial structures and muscles of the hand. In another embodiment of the present invention, the third pressure element is also connected to an active pressure source, such that active pressure is applied to the central dorsal region of the hand, while the first and second pressure elements apply pressure to the hypothenar and thenar regions of the hand.
