A swaddling blanket to alleviate colic has a back panel long enough to support a child from neck to feet, a leg pouch to loosely contain the child's legs, arm restraints to hold the child's arms against and parallel to the child's torso, a tapered short blanket arm to wrap over the child, and a tapered long blanket arm to wrap around the child more than once from the opposite direction to provide comforting pressure around the child's arms and torso.

A swaddle accessory to restrain an infant or child's arms has a single panel that is both wide and long enough to wrap entirely both of the infant's arms, hook and loop fasteners to secure the arm restraints and pockets to contain the hands to prevent them from breaking out of a swaddle made from a receiving blanket or other swaddle device.

A crib sheet with attachment points used to attach to the crib rails or bed frame. The crib sheet is used in combination with an infant sleep garment that attaches to the crib sheet by hook and loop mechanism. Attachment to the crib frame or bed frame, rather than the mattress, eliminates the risk that the infant's movements can cause the crib sheet to move or shift. Two points of attachment lie on either side of the shoulders or upper torso of the infant. The sleep garment has a arm restraint mechanism that acts to prevent movement of the infant's arms so that the infant cannot use its arms to escape the garment or to move itself about the crib or bed.

A U shaped spring designed to accommodate a long resistance path, designed to provide for a large leg squeezing area so that large squeezing resistance may be applied without excessive inner leg pressure, designed to facilitate incremental and great increases of resistance and, designed to employ an arm restraint so that initial movement through the first half of the range of movement will be against substantial and beneficial resistance. The U shaped spring for strengthening the pubococeygeus muscle when squeezed between the upper legs comprises: a resilient strip bent into and held in a U shape, said U shape having spaced opposite arms extending in a same direction, and a central portion connecting the opposite arms; and, an arm restraint extending between the spaced opposite arms holding and preventing the arms from resiliently springing apart beyond their spaced configuration. The arm restraint is generally under a substantial tension load, and is unloaded only when the arms of the U shaped spring are squeezed together between the upper legs thereby strengthening the pubococeygeus muscle. In a preferred aspect of this invention the strip comprises sheet steel and the arm restraint comprises a wire rope extending between and through holes in the opposite arms.

An arm restraint is adapted for limiting arm movement of a patient. The arm restraint includes a fabric arm wrap designed for receiving and folding around an arm of the patient in a generally extended condition. The arm wrap has a first end adapted for residing adjacent an upper arm of the patient and a second end residing adjacent a wrist of the patient. A plurality of spaced-apart elongated stays are incorporated within the arm wrap, and extend longitudinally from its first end to its second end. The stays cooperate to restrict bending of the arm at the elbow. A fabric shoulder fold is formed with the first end of the arm wrap, and is designed for extending over and covering a shoulder of the patient adjacent the upper arm. A torso strap is secured to the shoulder fold at a first attachment point. The torso strap has a free end designed for extending across and around an upper torso of the patient. The free end attaches to the shoulder fold at a second attachment point. The torso strap operates to secure and maintain the arm restraint in position on the arm of the patient.

A therapeutic orthopedic device is described. The orthopedic device serves to restrain and limit movement of a human arm and shoulder. The device comprises a torso pillow, a padded forearm support attached to the pillow and a shoulder strap that traverses the clavicle region of the opposite shoulder. The pillow is positioned to rest against the torso of a user and the strap is positioned over the opposite shoulder. The forearm support acts as a shelf upon which the user's forearm may rest in a natural position. Flexible straps extend from the forearm support, over the user's forearm, and engage with the pillow to secure the forearm.

The present invention relates generally to exercise equipment and more specifically, to an isometric exercise apparatus and a storage rack therefor. The isometric exercise apparatus includes a frame which has a base and a sidewall joined to the base. The base has an exercise platform for supporting a user's body. Also provided is a restraint arm assembly connected to the frame. The arm restraint assembly includes a swing arm pivotally connected to the base, a restraint arm carried by the swing arm and positionable above the exercise platform to inhibit movement of a portion of the user's body so as to allow the user to perform isometric exercises. An indexing assembly is provided to fix the swing arm in a predetermined angular position selected from a set of discrete angular positions relative to the base. At least one limb restraint accessory is positionable at predetermined locations along the base for inhibiting movement of the user's limb so as to allow the user to perform isometric exercises. The apparatus can rapidly be adapted or configured to target a plurality of joint angles to work different muscle groups (or different muscles within the same muscle group) for an enhanced isometric workout.

An arm restraint device and method for use by EMS workers to restrain the arms of a patient lying on a backboard, gurney, or similar immobilizing transport device. A strap having two outer loops for encircling each arm is joined by centrally located buckles. Each loop is placed over a patient's arms and positioned slightly above the elbow. A single pull of the strap between the buckles defining the two outer loops adjusts the outer loops to secure the patient's arms. The patient's arms are held parallel to the patient's sides but remain accessible to EMS workers even while restrained. The restraint device functions independently of the other straps on the immobilizing transport device to allow repositioning of the restraint without loosening the other straps and risking unexpected movement of the patient.

A torque arm restraint is provided with a body having a bore including an axis and an arm extending from said body transversely to the axis. The restraint is adapted for resisting torque applied to the fitting of a liquid storage tank, and is configured either for mounting on a fitting or as a component of the fitting. The fitting may be an outlet fitting having a pipe mounted thereto and extending from the wall of the tank. The tubular body permits passage of instrumentation or liquid through the torque arm restraint and the fitting and the arm is provided with an abutment surface positioned proximate to the inside surface of the tank wall, either in engagement or in spaced relationship, whereby the arm resists torque applied to the fitting from outside of the tank. The body may include an attachment member which extends axially from the body and adapted, for example by threads, for mounting to a tank fitting, and the body may be coupled to a pipe within the interior of the tank.
