Description

Treatment device and handle for treating a human body
The present invention relates to a treatment device for treating a human body or a part thereof and a handle for the treatment device.
The muscles of the human body are complex. Thus, muscle pain treatments are also individually ineffective, at best, from person to person. Especially muscle fascia treatment can be costly because it is mostly performed by well-trained people. The patient or user may provide assistance with instruments and devices used at home, in the office, or on the go.
Thermal treatment of the fascia, for example by means of a thermal pad, stimulates blood circulation and thus relieves the pain of the user. However, a disadvantage of this treatment is that its effect does not reach deep into the fascia of the body. This problem can be solved, for example, by fascia rollers. The use of such rollers requires some skill, which is not always available to the elderly who require such treatment. In addition, there is the risk that body parts, bones or even the spine are also taken into treatment because of the width of the rollers, which is undesirable. Conversely, the wrong treatment may injure the patient or user.
Another possibility is to provide a so-called fascial ball. However, there is a risk that some nerves, in particular the sciatic nerve, are damaged, since the use of the ball and also the use of the roller is based on the knowledge and usability of the user for the intended use.
A multi-piece physiotherapy apparatus for acupressure treatment is known, for example, from DE202017002678U 1. The instrument includes an elongated arcuate body having a central portion with an arcuate concave extending inner edge and an arcuate convex extending outer edge. A fixing point is formed at one end of the body, and the treatment device may be mounted at the fixing point.
DE202015001851U1 discloses a device for the treatment of muscular fascial pain. The housing of the device is provided with a treatment application surface. The active surface is associated with a pressure sensor and a display, which measures and displays the pressure during the treatment.
DE202015106341U1 discloses a therapeutic device which can be used for muscle treatment or acupressure. The apparatus has an elongate body with opposed ends forming a treatment surface. Between the treatment surfaces, a treatment piece is detachably arranged perpendicular to the main body.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simplified treatment device, which allows an efficient treatment and at the same time is flexibly adaptable to the treatment modality.
This object is achieved by the independent claims and the dependent claims.
In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a treatment device for treating a human body or part thereof. The treatment device has a base member with a gripping member and at least one pressure member. The base member has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The gripping member is arcuate and integrally connected to the base member at a first side. The at least one pressure member is detachably secured at the second side.
In another aspect, the invention relates to a handle for use with the above-described treatment apparatus, wherein the base member has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The gripping member is arcuate and integrally connected to the base member at a first side. The second side of the base member is designed to detachably secure a pressure member.
Hereinafter, the user refers not only to self-treatment but also to a person who treats another person with a treatment device.
The user connects the pressure member to the base member. The user grasps the grip of the treatment device and moves the treatment device across the site to be treated. The pressure member is a treatment device component used by the user to treat the body part to be treated. At this time, the user may apply strong or weak pressure to the body part to be treated according to the treatment, body part, or health, and the treatment device moves in the prescribed muscles set according to the treatment form.
The arcuate shape of the grip allows the user to comfortably manipulate the treatment device in multiple treatment orientations. The arcuate shape of the grip provides greater stability for a variety of different treatment orientations. In other words, the arcuate shape of the grip improves the user's control of the treatment device during treatment.
The one-piece form of the base member and the gripping member advantageously allows the user to use the treatment device without having to worry about the separate parts coming loose. The grip member is fixedly connected to the base member so that the grip member is not released by e.g. a wrong operation or too much force during treatment. In addition, the treatment device can be simplified because no retaining mechanism, such as a threaded connection, is required between the grip member and the base member.
On the second side of the base member, the pressure member is detachably connected to the base member, whereby the treatment device can be adapted to different treatments. One particular advantage resides in the modularity of the handle and pressure member. The user can decide from the pressure member options for one pressure member depending on the form of treatment and depending on which part of the body should be treated. The pressure member may be formed differently for different applications.
In a treatment comprising a plurality of phases, each performed with some kind of massage oil or other treatment substance, the pressure element may be replaced, for example, for cleaning. It is thus possible to use a pressure element that has just been cleaned for each stage without having to interrupt the treatment itself, since the pressure elements used hitherto have only to be cleaned of the treatment substance of the preceding stage. By means of the detachable fastening, the pressure element can be exchanged in a simple manner for different phases or applications.
In one embodiment, the base member comprises at least one receptacle for the pressure member at the second side, wherein the receptacle at least partially surrounds the pressure member.
Advantageously, the pressure piece is surrounded by the receptacle resulting in a higher stability of the pressure piece or the treatment device. Such enclosure results in the pressure member not sliding relative to the base member during treatment.
In another embodiment, the curved gripping member has a first end and a second end, wherein the gripping member is connected to the base member at the first end and/or the second end.
In one embodiment, the gripping element, the base element and/or the pressure element are designed as hollow bodies. For example, the base part, the holding part and/or the pressure part can be made of plastic, wherein the interior of these parts is designed to be hollow.
The hollow design of the base member, the gripping member and/or the pressure member reduces the weight of the treatment device. Weight reduction is particularly advantageous for users who want to carry the therapeutic device on a trip. Furthermore, the amount of material used in the manufacture of the treatment device is reduced by the hollow design, which leads to a more advantageous manufacture of the treatment device.
In another embodiment, the base member is open on the second side.
Advantageously, the material required for the treatment device and the weight of the treatment device can be further reduced by the open second side of the base member.
In another embodiment, the gripping member, base member and/or pressure member have a plurality of support ribs on the interior thereof.
The stability of the grip element, base element and/or pressure element is increased by the support ribs. In particular in the case of muscle fascia treatment, the large forces exerted by the user can act on the individual components of the treatment device.
In another embodiment, the grip is formed in an ergonomic manner.
By "formed in an ergonomic manner" is meant that the shape of the grip is optimally designed so that the treatment result is as optimal as possible and that the fatigue of the user is as small as possible. The grip can be formed, for example, in such a way that the user's hand can grip the grip in a natural position. Furthermore, the ergonomic shaping of the grip allows the user to focus his force on the treatment or its action without having to be concerned that he holds the treatment device or the grip sufficiently firmly so as not to slip off.
In one embodiment, the grip element has at least one grip assisting structure. The grip assist structure may comprise, for example, ribs, pins, flutes or a shaped structure, as opposed to a grip having a smooth surface.
In treatment with the treatment device, the user must apply a force, which is transmitted to the part of the human body to be treated. The user must apply sufficient force, i.e. gripping force, with his hands or fingers for this purpose so that he does not slip at the grip. The grip aid can advantageously be formed such that it is adapted to the human hand and avoids the risk of a hand-off. This adaptation can be carried out, for example, by varying the rib spacing, changing the depth of the profile or similar design possibilities.
In one embodiment, the grip is at least partially or fully coated with a slip resistant coating and/or formed of a slip resistant material. In particular, soft materials are suitable for their use as anti-slip materials. The anti-slip coating and/or anti-slip material may comprise, for example, rubber, plastic, cork, or foam.
In other embodiments, the pressure member includes a head portion and a pressure member attachment portion. The head is the part of the pressure member that is arranged to contact the part of the human body to be treated during treatment. The pressure member connecting portion is configured to be received by and connect the pressure member to the base member.
In a further embodiment, the head and the pressure element connection are designed in one piece. The one-piece form of the pressure element advantageously results in a higher stability, in particular during the treatment.
In a further embodiment, the head part is detachably arranged on the pressure element connection part, so that the head part can be detached, for example, for cleaning the pressure element connection part. Another advantage is that one pressure member connection can be combined with a different head.
In another embodiment, the head is designed to be spherical, dome-shaped, hemispherical, ellipsoidal, hemi-ellipsoidal, mushroom-shaped, multi-pointed, or amorphous. Multi-cusp shape means here that the pressure element is provided with a plurality of protuberances or bulges, with consequent contact with the part of the human body to be treated during the treatment.
In another embodiment, the surface of the head has a roughness such that the skin does not slip past the head during treatment. Instead, there is an adhesive contact between the skin of the user and the head, so that a massage or therapeutic effect as good as possible may occur.
In another embodiment, at least the head is constructed of a material that is incompressible during treatment. In an advantageous manner, the pressure effect of the head can be increased by means of an incompressible material. The head may be constructed of wood, plastic or metal, for example.
In another embodiment, at least the head is constructed of a material that is compressible during treatment. In an advantageous manner, the deformation of the head can distribute the forces to a larger active surface. If the force is too great in the direction of action, the pressure action of the head can be reduced point by using a compressible material. The pressure that is too great for the user can thus be reduced to a desired level and at the same time a larger area can be treated. The head may be constructed of cork, foam, or elastomeric material, for example.
In a further embodiment, the base part has a thread, a locking element or a bayonet connection on the second side, wherein the pressure element connection and the base part are designed as two parts of a plug connection, a thread connection, a locking connection or a bayonet connection.
The plug connection, the screw connection, the locking connection or the bayonet connection advantageously results in the pressure element being fixedly connectable to the base element, but also detachable. Such a connection reduces the risk of the pressure member falling out of the base member when it is connected to the base member.
In another embodiment, the treatment apparatus includes at least two interchangeable pressure members. The pressure elements differ in particular with regard to their shape and/or their size. For example, the pressure element can be designed to be pointed, high-rise, wide, narrow, flat, large or small. In addition, the pressure element can be, for example, circular, ellipsoidal, mushroom-shaped, dome-shaped or multi-peaked or amorphous.
Since the at least two pressure elements differ with respect to their shape and/or their size, different pressure elements can cause different therapeutic effects at the user of the therapeutic device. For example, a higher (sharper) pressure member may exert a greater steric effect on the user's muscles. Whereas a flat pressure element can be said to be suitable for treating larger body surfaces.
Furthermore, for example, different pressure elements, in particular more complex or undefined pressure elements, can be provided for certain muscle groups. It comprises for example calf muscles, thigh muscles and/or shoulder muscles.
In another embodiment, the base member includes at least two receptacles for the pressure members on the second side. By means of the at least two receptacles, the user can apply two pressure elements simultaneously for treatment.
In another embodiment, two or more pressure elements are connected to one another to form a double or multiple pressure element, wherein the double or multiple pressure element has two or more pressure element connections. Such a double pressure element can in particular be inserted into at least two receptacles of the base element. The dual pressure members thus connected can treat a larger area of the body than a single pressure member.
Advantageously, the dual pressure element may be used to treat longer muscle groups such as, for example, leg muscles or back muscles. In principle, the treatment can also be effected with two separate pressure pieces. However, the dual pressure member has the advantage that it can have a more complex shape than a single pressure member and provide a higher treatment stability through the two pressure member connections.

FIG. 1a shows a cross-section of one embodiment of a treatment apparatus 10 that can be fitted with a pressure member 40. The treatment device 10 includes a base member 20 and a gripping member 30. The grip 30 is designed in an arc shape and has two ends 311 and 312. The grip member 30 is fixedly connected at its first and second ends 311, 312 to the base member 20 at the first side 24 of the base member in one piece. Because the grip member 30 is attached to the base member 20 at both ends 311, 312, this embodiment is referred to as "closed".
On a second side 25 of the base member 20, opposite the gripping member 30, a receptacle 22 is formed in the base member 20.
Pressure member 40 includes a head portion 42 and a pressure member attachment portion 44. The head 42 is arranged for contact with the skin of the user during treatment. The pressure element connection 44 is designed on the side of the pressure element 40 facing away from the head 42 in such a way that it can be received by the receptacle 22 of the base element 20.
FIG. 1b shows the base member 20 and pressure member 40 of FIG. 1a in a connected configuration. The pressure member connection 44 is received by the receptacle 22 such that the treatment device 10 is ready for use. A particular advantage comes from the modularity of the pressure element 40. The pressure member 40 can be exchanged for another pressure member 40 because it is detachably connected to the base member 20. Different pressure members 40 (see, e.g., fig. 3a-3d, 4a-4c) may be provided for different treatments or body parts.
The receptacle 22 surrounds the pressure piece connection 44 of the pressure piece 40, so that the pressure piece 40 does not slide into the treatment plane during the treatment.
In the embodiment shown here, the pressure element 40 and the base element 20 are connected to one another by a plug connection. The base part 20 and the pressure part 40 can in different embodiments not shown be designed for example as two parts of a screw connection, a locking connection or a bayonet connection.
An alternative embodiment of a grip element 30 is shown in fig. 2. Thus, the grip 30 in this embodiment is shown as an open collar. By "open" it is meant that the gripping member 30 is attached to the base member 20 at only one end, here the second end 312. The other end, first end 311, is a free end that is not connected to another member of treatment apparatus 10.
Figures 3a-3d show perspective views of various pressure members 40. Fig. 3a shows a pressure element 40 which is rotationally symmetrical about a central axis 46 and comprises a head 42 and a cylindrical pressure element connection 44. In this case, the head 42 is semi-ellipsoidal and is designed to be rotationally symmetrical about a central axis 46. The rotationally symmetrical hemiellipsoid has a base surface with a radius R which extends perpendicularly to the central axis 46. Furthermore, the hemiellipsoid has a height R ', wherein R < R'. In alternative embodiments not shown here, R > R' may be present.
Fig. 3b shows a pressure element 40, which comprises a hemispherical head 42 and a pressure element connection 44, which can be cylindrical or tubular in design. The hemispherical head 42 is designed rotationally symmetrically with respect to the central axis 46. The hemispherical head 42 also has a maximum radius R, which also corresponds to the height of the head 42.
