Obtaining Measurements Of Muscle Reflexes For Diagnosis Of Patient Symptoms

View page
US Patent:
8439845, May 14, 2013
Filed:
Sep 25, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/238433
Inventors:
Debra Janette Folkerts - Manhattan KS, US
Karen Louise Finstrom McPhee - Williamsburg VA, US
Gregory Ray Johnson - Nisswa MN, US
Timothy Martin Gack - Walker MN, US
Assignee:
Uroval, Inc. - Manhattan KS
International Classification:
A61B 19/00
A61B 5/00
A61B 5/04
US Classification:
600557, 600552, 600546
Abstract:
A system and method is disclosed for measuring muscle reflexes (e. g. , a bulbocavernosus reflex) as a tool for identifying/diagnosing dysfunctions (e. g. , spinal cord abnormalities, bladder voiding dysfunction, and sexual organ dysfunction) non-invasively by using mechanical stimulation. The system and method includes a probe having a predetermined patient contacting portion, wherein when the contacting portion is moved into contact with a particular area of the patient (e. g. , the patient's genitals), the contact induces a muscle reflex. The probe detects the pressure resulting from the contacting portion being abruptly and forcibly brought into contact with the particular area. Such detection is used to electronically initiate capture of electrical responses from a plurality of electrodes placed on the patient's skin in proximity to the particular area. Such electrical responses are processed to determine characteristics of the patient's reflexes of one or more muscles adjacent to the electrodes.

US Patent:
20070039197, Feb 22, 2007
Filed:
Aug 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/206503
Inventors:
Henry Holec - Mendota Heights MN, US
Greg Parkhurst - Brooklyn Park MN, US
Timothy Gack - Akeley MN, US
Eric Seckerson - Garfield MN, US
Mike Atkinson - Eden Prairie MN, US
International Classification:
G01B 5/00
US Classification:
033784000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a digital tram gauge assembly having an extendible elongate tram bar having a first height rod at a first end and a second height rod at a second end. A digital measuring device is positionable about the tram bar and is capable of digitally sensing, displaying and wirelessly transmitting measurement data from the digital tram gauge. The digital measuring device further includes a digital level sensor that functions as a digital level comparator to indicate whether the tram gauge assembly is oriented substantially parallel to a user-defined reference datum plane.
