Patent attributes
A device 100 and associated system for facilitating convenient and effective back mobilization of a clothed person is disclosed. The device has a substantially cylindrical body 102 having two ends 104 and two cylindrical, radial surfaces 106, wherein the cylindrical, radial surfaces make substantially smooth transitions 108 into the ends proximate the cylindrical, radial surfaces; and a channel of reduced radius 110 approximately centered between the ends of the cylindrical body, wherein the cylindrical, radial surfaces make substantially smooth transitions 112 into the channel proximate the cylindrical, radial surfaces. The system further includes a clothing retainer 200 for retaining clothing proximate the body of the person. The person is able to mobilize the back while moving the back along the cylindrical, radial surfaces of the device causing the device to roll while the clothing retainer keeps the clothing from underneath the rolling device as it rolls.
