Abstract
A method for the non-surgical treatment of soft tissue lesions includes placing a contact point near the lesion and causing the patient to move in a manner that produces a longitudinal sliding motion of soft tissues, e.g., nerves, ligaments, and muscles, beneath the contact point. Treatments are continued at sequential time intervals until the symptoms produced by the lesions are alleviated.

6594634 - Method and apparatus for reporting emergency incidents - Owned by Medtronic Physio-Control Corp. (Redmond, WA)

An event reporting program (48) is provided which electronically records information critical to reconstructing events occurring during an emergency incident. The event reporting program (48) includes an event recording component (204) for recording events as they occur during the incident, and a post-processing component (206) for further processing the events recorded by the event recording component after completion of the incident. The event recording component (204) enables an emergency service provider to input a plurality of event records (148) describing each event as it occurs and the time at which each event takes place. The event recording component also enables an emergency service provider to input a predefined protocol of expected event records. Each expected event record (148) identifies an event which is expected to occur during the incident and a time at which the event is expect to occur. Finally, the event recording component also includes a number of tools for providing and/or recording information in addition to the event records to the emergency service provider, e.g., an address book, drug guidelines, a narrative recorder, etc. The post-processing component (206), on the other hand, enables the user to modify or add to the event records (148) and other information previously recorded by the event recording component. In addition, the post-processing component (206) exports event records (148) to and imports event records (148) from external devices, such as a remote computer or medical electronic device. Finally, the post-processing component (206) generates a run report including the recorded event records (148) and information related to the incident.
