Abstract
Description
Es existieren zahlreiche, vor allem medizinische Indikationen, die ein Verbleiben des menschlichen Körpers in einer bestimmten Lage vor allem während Schlafzeiten unerwünscht erscheinen lassen. Bekannt sind z. B. zur Vermeidung der Rückenlage im Schlaf, am Körper befestigte Volumenbehältnisse wie Tennisbälle, Rucksäcke, Kissen u. ä.There are numerous, mainly medical, indications that the human body remains in a certain situation, especially when sleeping. Are known for. B. for Avoid lying on your back while you sleep, volume containers attached to your body such as tennis balls, backpacks, Pillows and Ä.
Durch die bisherige mehr oder weniger voluminöse Anordnung ergeben sich mannigfaltige Nachteile wie z. B. Bewegungseinschränkungen auch bei gewollten Drehungen (im Bett), ungewollt langes Verbleiben in einer Position, lange Wachphasen durch Vorgenanntes, zusätzlich wird der gewünschte Effekt häufig nicht sicher erzielt. Die Akzeptanz dieser Anordnungen ist daher bei den Anwendern oder Therapeuten gering.Due to the previous more or less voluminous arrangement, there are manifold disadvantages such. B. Restrictions on movement even with intentional turns (in bed), unwanted long stay in one Position, long waking phases due to the above, in addition, the desired effect is often not certain achieved. The acceptance of these arrangements is therefore low among users or therapists.
Die eigene Erfindung ist durch Kleinheit und Funktionsweise bei Bedarf charakterisiert. Sie triggert durch mechanische Schwingungen am Ort der stärksten Wirkung, z. B. in unerwünschter Rückenlage - eben im wesentlichen dort, mit einer Anordnung von Vibrationselement(en), eine Neupositionierung des Körpers. Die Wirkung beruht auf der störenden Funktionsweise von Vibration, die im tatsächlich stattfindenden schlafmechanisch induzierte sogenannte Mikroweckreaktion (Mikro- oder Makroarousal) auslöst, der nur durch Umlagerung entgangen werden kann. Die Funktionsweise kann durch besondere Schaltungseigenarten modifiziert, insbesondere auch verstärkt werden. Die Ansteuerung übernehmen Sensor(en), die vorzugsweise am Körper selbst befestigt sind.The own invention is characterized by smallness and functionality when needed. It triggers by mechanical vibrations at the location of the greatest impact, e.g. B. in an unwanted supine position - just there, with an arrangement of vibration element (s), a repositioning of the Body. The effect is due to the disruptive functioning of vibration, which is actually so-called micro-mechanical reaction (micro or Macroarousal) that can only be avoided by relocation. The way it works can modified by special circuit characteristics, in particular also reinforced. The It is controlled by sensors that are preferably attached to the body itself.
Es wird auf bekannte Einzelkomponenten, die Stand der Technik sind, zurückgegriffen. Einzelne
Sonderkomponenten zur Anordnung der Einzelkomponenten, wie z. B. Gehäuse, werden selbst erstellt.
Durch die hier beschriebene Einrichtung ergeben sich folgende Vorteile:
Known individual components which are state of the art are used. Individual special components for arranging the individual components, such as. B. Housing, are created yourself. The following advantages result from the device described here:
- - Das relativ kleine Eigenvolumen der körpergebundenen Komponenten der Einrichtung schränkt die Bewegungsfreiheit, z. B. Drehbewegungen, nicht ein.- The relatively small volume of the body-related components of the facility limits the Freedom of movement, e.g. B. rotary movements, not a.
- - Bewegungsfreiheitsgrade können zeitlich vorgegeben werden. Als Beispiel soll hier ein Zeitfenster für eine Drehung im Bett genannt werden, für die eine genügend große Zeit ohne Eingreifen der Einrichtung vorgegeben werden kann.- Degrees of freedom of movement can be specified in time. As an example, here is a time window for a Rotation in bed can be called for a long enough time without intervention from the facility can be specified.
- - Das relativ kleine Eigenvolumen der körpergebundenen Komponenten der Einrichtung erleichtert die Anbringung von sonstigen diagnostischen Möglichkeiten, wie z. B. Elektroden für Langzeit-EKG, besonders im Bereich des Rückens.- The relatively small volume of the body-related components of the facility facilitates Attachment of other diagnostic options, such as. B. electrodes for long-term ECG, especially in the area of the back.
- - Das Nichterfüllen des Auftrages kann mittels der Steuerungseinrichtung erfaßt werden. Diese kann unterschiedliche aktive Strategien z. B. sequentielles Ansteuern der Vibrationselemente auslösen.- The non-fulfillment of the order can be detected by means of the control device. This can different active strategies e.g. B. trigger sequential activation of the vibration elements.
- - Alarmfunktionen können integriert oder angesteuert werden.- Alarm functions can be integrated or controlled.
- - Die Baugröße, die Gestaltung und der Betrieb der Einrichtung können dem Verlangen nach mechanischer Unschädlichkeit auf das menschliche Gewebe besser entgegenkommen als die weiter oben genannten bisherigen unflexiblen Maßnahmen, d. h. am primären Kontaktorgan der Haut und dem Unterhautfett gewebe werden Druckstellen vermieden. Auch sekundär involvierte Gewebe, wie z. B. Knochen und Gelenke profitieren von diesem Anspruch.- The size, design and operation of the facility can meet the demand for mechanical Harmlessness to human tissues is better accommodated than those mentioned above previous inflexible measures, d. H. on the primary contact organ of the skin and subcutaneous fat pressure points are avoided. Also secondary tissues involved, such as B. bones and Joints benefit from this claim.
- - Hinsichtlich der sicheren Detektion der Körperlage kann die aktuelle Sensortechnik als sicher gelten. Eine weitere Absicherung der Funktion kann durch Abgleich mit Signalen weiterer Sensoren wie z. B. Drucksensor(en) erreicht werden.- With regard to the reliable detection of the body position, the current sensor technology can be considered safe. A further safeguarding of the function can be achieved by comparison with signals from other sensors such as B. Pressure sensor (s) can be reached.
- - Eine externe Steuermöglichkeit durch eine oder mehrere Datenschnittstellen ist problemlos möglich.- An external control option through one or more data interfaces is possible without any problems.
- - Die Speicherung und Dokumentierung der Lageprofile über die Zeit ist möglich.- The storage and documentation of the location profiles over time is possible.
- - Eine Implementierung anderer Funktionen ist in die Grundstruktur möglich.- An implementation of other functions is possible in the basic structure.
