DE202006011076U1 - Mechanical model for dependent cranial-sacral movement has gearwheels mounted on plate with distance sleeves on which symbolic applications of anatomic structures are arranged that all move dependently on each other - Google Patents

Abstract

The mechanical model has gearwheels mounted on a plate with distance sleeves on which symbolic applications of anatomic structures are arranged that all move dependently on each other. Both representations of the occipital bone (2) and sacrum are connected by a rubber band and move dependently with respect to each other.

Description

The 26 skull bones, move the central nervous system, the membranes and the sacrum rhythmically. They influence each other in their movements. This realization and understanding of these movements is the basis of the cranio-sacral therapy, a recognized physiotherapy technique.

The Bones of the Skull Base Center are from the outside on the skull not to touch, yet their movement is very important for the movement all the rest, neighboring bones and structures.

The protection specified in claim 1 invention addresses the problem of creating a model that represents exactly these mechanical dependencies and relationships. In this model, the movements of the skull base bones, namely sphenoid bone ( 1 ), Occipital bone ( 2 ), Ethmoid ( 3 ), Pflugscharbein ( 4 ), the connective tissue cerebellar ( 5 ), the hard meninges ( 7 ) and the sacrum ( 6 ). In addition, the dependent behavior of the individual spinal column sections (cervical ( 9 ), Chest- ( 10 ) and lumbar spine ( 11 )) in terms of their change in curvature during movement. This model helps the therapist to better understand these relationships.

An embodiment will be described with reference to 1 to 3 explained. Show it:

1 the complete model

2 a side view of a gear which symbolizes the spine movement

3 a side view of a cog wheel symbolizing the skull bone movement.

On a plate ( 8th ) gears are mounted on sleeves on which either pulleys for spinal movement or applications of the skull bones ( 1 - 4 ), the sacrum ( 6 ) and the brain sickle ( 5 ) are mounted. A rubber band ( 7 ), which is guided around rollers, symbolizes the hard meninges and additionally illustrates on the left side the curvature of the individual spinal column sections ( 9 - 11 ) (Cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine).

The Craniosacral therapy attempts to position itself through manual techniques (Position) to influence each of these structures. Based on the model can this be understood by moving the corresponding gear. The changing one Position of the rest gears exemplifies the movement / position change the rest Structures (skull bones, Brain sickle, hard meninges and sacrum), as well as the change the spine tension / curvature of the individual spinal sections.

Claims (3)

Mechanical model representing the dependent movement of the cranial bones, cerebral cerebellum, hard meninges and sacrum (cranio-sacral movement), characterized in that on a plate gears with spacers are mounted on which symbolically applications of anatomical structures (simplified representation of skull base bones, the connective tissue cerebellar, the hard meninges and the sacrum), which are all dependent on each other. Mechanical model according to claim 1, characterized that the two representations of the occipital and sacrum, are connected by a rubber band and move "flaschenzugartig" dependent Mechanical model according to claim 1, characterized that 3 gears, the 3 spine sections (Cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine) Picture the rubber band on them, moving around them the gears deflect differently.
