Abstract

Pulsed therapy device for deep transverse frictions, circular movements, kneading and vibration for physiotherapy ("MYO-Stick") designed as a hand-held, handy device
characterized
a DC electric gear motor (1) in a rod-shaped, round housing 3 (23) with
the device head housing 1 (4) is screwed mounted. The transmission output shaft is positively connected to the eccentric disc (2) and displaces the rotationally mounted screwed pivot rod (6) with the application head (7) into a 2-dimensional movement.

Description

• Device for local application to muscle attachment, tendon insertion, Muscle belly, trigger point, in the areas of physiotherapy, Healing practice, cosmetics, wellness.

functionality

• 1. transverse frictions, are intermittent Special massages on muscle tendon transitions and Tendon-bone transitions. At these transitions caused by athletic or chronic overloads very often inflammatory conditions, which are very painful could be. The therapy eliminates the inflammation-like conditions and the edema embedded in the tendon. Also will one Described effect on the structure of the tendons.
• 2. Kneading The most important and most used techniques The massage is kneading. The kneadings become muscles or muscle groups stretched obliquely or transversely to the grain, pressed and twisted.
• 3. Circulation Zirkelengen are small area in deep-going circular movements. They are intense and are good for the targeted treatment of stubborn Adhesions, myogeloses and trigger points.
• 4. vibrations Finest vibrations, whose Vibrations continue in depth and to the side. They effect a deep relaxation of the muscles.

By the use of these techniques in the context of manual therapy is the mobilization and manipulation of peripheral as well as central Relieves joints as the hypertonic and in dysbalance standing muscle parts or muscle chains detonated and hyperemic become.

So far These techniques are done manually by hand and fingers.

Alles These techniques are common in therapeutic work for use and are therefore very stressful for the therapist.

• – Rhizarthrose
• – Proximale und distale Handgelenksarthrose
• – Mediale und laterale Epicondylitis
• – Tendovaginitis
• – Inserationstendopathien der Rotatorenmanschette
• – Blockaden, Hypomobilitäten der HWS und BWS

The risk of multiple forms of joint disorder and joint disease for the therapist is considerable.

• - Rhizarthrosis
• - Proximal and distal wrist arthrosis
• - Medial and lateral epicondylitis
• - Tendovaginitis
• - Rotator cuff insertion endopathies
• - Blockages, hypomobility of the cervical spine and thoracic spine

The specified in protection claim 1 invention ("MYO stick") is based on the problem of minimizing the high burden of the therapist's hand and fingers clearly. With the invention, we achieved this minimization by the fact that inside the therapy device of the DC electric gear motor, the eccentric mechanism and thereby the application head located at the front end in a 2 and 3-dimensional rotational movement. The pulsating therapy device consists of a DC electric motor with planetary gear ( 1 ) connected to the housing 1 ( 4 ) is screwed. Housing 3 ( 23 ) surrounds the DC electric motor with planetary gear ( 1 ) and is also designed as a handle of the therapy device. The transmission output shaft is form-fitting with the eccentric disc ( 2 ) and with the cylinder screw ( 3 ) secured. Continuing is the eccentric disc ( 2 ) with the joint piece ( 16 ) and connecting joint ( 17 ) and with the swivel bar ( 6 ) mounted and screwed rotatably mounted. Pendulum ring ( 8th ) and pivot bushing ( 9 ) allow the 2-dimensional rotational movement of the pivot rod ( 6 ). By manual twisting of the housing 2 ( 5 ) from 0 ° to 45 ° continuously, a pulsating movement of the swivel rod ( 6 ) reached the third dimension. As the angle increases, the pulse depth increases continuously from 0-7 mm.

The by the pressure piece ( 21 ) on the swivel bar ( 6 ) rotatably mounted and fixed application head ( 7 ) Replaces the hand or fingertip surface of the therapist and is quickly interchangeable with other forms.

• – Durch die variablen und verschieden großen Aufsätze (konisch, Halbkugel) sind sowohl punktuelle als auch flächigen Anwendungen durchführbar.
• – Stufenlose Geschwindigkeitsregelung der Applikation ermöglichen eine individuelle Anpassung der Therapie an die Toleranzschwelle des Patienten.
• – Die Wahlmöglichkeit der Rechts/Linksrotation am Applikationskopf gewährleistet den Vortrieb in der Anwendung entlang des Muskelbauchs oder Sehnenverlaufs.
• – Oberflächige Anwendungen werden mit der zweidimensionalen (Zirkelung), tiefe Anwendungen mit der dreidimensionalen (Querfriktion) Bewegung durchgeführt.
• – Der Therapeut kann sowohl einhändig für die leichte bis mittelschwere Applikation, als auch beidhändig für die intensive tiefe Applikation arbeiten.
• – Senkrechter Druck in der zweidimensionalen Variante ist indiziert bei lokal begrenzter Anwendung sowohl als Zirkelung als auch als Querfriktion durchführbar, gewinkelte Applikation in Kombination mit dreidimensionaler Bewegung entspricht einer Knetung des Gewebes.
• – Hohe Rotationsgeschwindigkeit des Applikationsapparates in Kombination mit einem flächigen Aufsatz entspricht nahezu einer Vibration und damit der zuvor erklärten Wirkung dieser.

Specification of the application on the patient

• - Due to the variable and differently sized attachments (conical, hemisphere) both punctual and surface applications are feasible.
• - Infinitely variable speed control of the application allows individual adaptation of the therapy to the tolerance threshold of the patient.
• - The choice of right / left rotation on the application head ensures the propulsion in the application along the muscle belly or tendon course.
• - Surface applications are performed with two-dimensional (crosstalk), deep applications with three-dimensional (cross-friction) motion.
• - The therapist can work single-handedly for easy to moderate application, as well as ambidextrous for intensive deep application.
• - Vertical pressure in the two-dimensional variant is indicated for locally limited application both as circling and as transverse friction feasible, angled application in combination with three-dimensional movement corresponds to a kneading of the tissue.
• - High rotational speed of the application apparatus in combination with a flat essay corresponds almost to a vibration and thus the previously explained effect of this.

• – Mobilisation und Manipulation im Rahmen der Manuellen Therapie und der Chiropraktik werden durch die Vorbehandlung mit dem Myo-Stick erleichtert, da
• – Detonisation und Hyperämisierung der entsprechenden Muskulatur eine deutlich widerstandsfreiere manualtherapeutische/chiropraktische Anwendung ermöglicht.
• – Nachhaltige Wirkung im Sinne der Verbesserung von Mikrozirkulation der Gewebsflüssigkeit, sowie der Ausschüttung von schmerzlindernden Neurotransmittern gewährleistet.

Specification as a result of the application

• - Mobilization and manipulation in the context of manual therapy and chiropractic are facilitated by the pre-treatment with the Myo-Stick since
• - Detonization and hyperemia of the corresponding muscles allows a much more resistant manual / chiropractic application.
• - Ensures lasting effect in terms of improving microcirculation of the tissue fluid, as well as the release of analgesic neurotransmitters.
