Abstract
A system for soothing an agitated patient, including a motor, a linkage operationally connected to the motor, an armature operationally connected to the linkage, and a lifelike hand connected to the armature. Energization of the motor enables the lifelike hand to move in a generally circular, rubbing motion.
Description
- This patent application is a divisional of, and claims priority to, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/960,972, filed on Dec. 7, 2015, which claimed priority to then co-pending U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 62/124,023, filed on Dec. 8, 2014, now abandoned.
- The present novel technology relates generally to mechanical engineering and, more particularly, to biomechanical devices.
- Some residents in Alzheimer's disease and dementia-care facilities exhibit severe agitation and unprovoked loud, aggressive outbursts, often generalized and without any specific target. These behaviors prove to be highly disturbing to other residents, and can set off a ‘chain reaction’ of agitation. It has been observed that a human hand, gently placed on the agitated patient's back and rubbed in a circular motion, can often soothe the patient. The soothing effect is enhanced by softly spoken, reassuring language, and the calming effect can be almost immediate, thus ending the physical and vocal outbursts.
- The major drawback with this treatment strategy is that it is labor intensive; the caregiver is locked into providing the gentle, rubbing contact and thus cannot attend to any other patients while delivering the calming contact. Moreover, the outbursts often resume as soon as the rubbing contact is discontinued. Thus, there remains a need for an improved patient care strategy. The present novel technology addresses this need.

It will nevertheless be understood that no limitations of the scope of the invention is intended by the specific language used to describe the invention, with such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein being contemplated as would normally occur to one ordinarily skilled in the art
- As illustrated in
FIGS. 1-7B , the present novel technology relates to anautomated system 10 for providing tactile relief to a distressed patient, such as a child or a patient suffering from Alzheimer's disease or like dementia. Thesystem 10 includes asurrogate hand portion 15 and abase portion 20 operationally connected by anintermediate armature portion 25. - The
surrogate hand portion 15 includes a lifelike artificial ormannequin hand 30 with aball joint insert 35 disposed therein. Thehand 30 may be made of any convenient material, such as plastic, rubber, silicone, foamed polymer or the like, and is typically formed around theball joint insert 35. Theball joint insert 35 further includes asocket 40 with aball joint 45 disposed therein for providing limited or restriction freedom of motion of thehand member 30, so as to better simulate the range of motion of a human hand extending from a wrist. Theball joint 45 typically includes aconnector 50 for connecting to thearmature portion 25. Thehand 30 is typically made of a foamed polymer material that is more typically poured or otherwise molded around theball joint insert 35. Theinsert 35 also includes aflange portion 55 extending from thesocket 40 to provide greater surface area to anchor theinsert 35 inside thehand 30. - The
base portion 20 typically includes aplate member 60, upon one side of which amotor 65 and acontroller 70 are typically mounted. Themotor 65 is typically a D.C. electric motor, and thecontroller 70 is typically operationally connected to themotor 65. Thecontroller 70 is typically a microcomputer or electronic controller, but may also simply be a relay switch or the like actuatable to energize themotor 65. Typically, theelectronic controller 70 is Wi-Fi enabled so as to be remotely actuated and/or controlled, such as by a remotely located computer, a smart phone app, or the like. - In some embodiments, a pulse width modulator (PWM)75 is operationally connected to the
motor 65 to afford better control of the motor speed. Themotor 65 is connected through theplate member 60 to alinkage 80 pivotably connected to the other side. Thelinkage 80 is typically a 4-bar linkage, although other convenient linkages may be selected. Thelinkage 80 typically includes anelongated member 85 that connects to a shaft adjustlinkage member 90, such as by a quick-lock orlike connector 95. - The linkage adjust
member 90 accepts or otherwise connects to an elongated arm or shaft no, which is part of thearmature portion 25. The linkage adjustmember 90 typically includes a built-inthumb screw 100 for adjustably securing theadjust member 90 to thearm 110. The shaft may be straight, or, more typically, include a bend or kink. In some embodiments the arm is rigid, while in others thearm 110 is partially flexible to lend itself to positioning adjustments. Theshaft 110 terminates in anadaptor 115 rotatably connected to the shaft no and which includes aconnector 120 matable withconnector 50. - The
base portion 20 may include ahousing 130 for holding theplate member 60 and the gear mounted thereto. Thehousing 130 may also include enclosures orcubbies 133 for storing medicines, equipment, tools, or the like. Thehousing 130 may also include apower supply 135 connectable to themotor 65. The housing may also include anaudio playback unit 140 having a speaker 145 and amemory 150 for storing prerecorded soothing messages, and may also include a telephone jack or interface 155 for operationally connecting to a cell phone. Thehousing 130 may also include a clip orfastener 170 for securing thesystem 10 within reach of the patient. In some embodiments, thesystem 10 includes a motion sensor, audio sensor, or the like for automatically actuating themotor 65 to drive thehand 30 in response to growing agitation of the patient. - In operation, the
system 10 is secured within reach of a patient, such as clipped or fastened to the patient's chair. Thehand 30 is placed against the patient's back and themotor 65 is energized. Thehand 30 gently rubs or massages the patient's back in a generally circular pattern, typically in an irregular pattern as governed by the linkage assembly to more accurately simulate a person's natural rhythm. Likewise, thecontroller 70 may be programmed to alter or vary the speed and pattern of motion to follow a randomized or predetermined course while rubbing in a generally circular motion. - The
playback unit 140 may likewise be energized to play soothing commentary and/or music. - When the
system 10 is attached to a chair, bed, or the like, the controller 70 (either via remote or built-in options) drives thesynthetic hand 30 so that the patient feels he is being soothed by a person. - While the novel technology has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character. It is understood that the embodiments have been shown and described in the foregoing specification in satisfaction of the best mode and enablement requirements. It is understood that one of ordinary skill in the art could readily make a nigh-infinite number of insubstantial changes and modifications to the above-described embodiments and that it would be impractical to attempt to describe all such embodiment variations in the present specification. Accordingly, it is understood that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the novel technology are desired to be protected.
