Abstract

Ein Therapiekissen zur Behandlung von Patienten besteht aus einem luftmatratzenartig aufblasbaren Hohlkörper 10, der zwei spiegelbildlich zur Längsmitte angeordnete Wülste 24, 26 aufweist, die ein aufblasbares Einkammersystem bilden und die im Kopfbereich 14 nahezu aneinandergrenzen, jedoch im Rumpfbereich im Abstand voneinander liegen, wo eine Mittelkammer gebildet wird, die einen länglichen elastisch verformbaren Körper 32 mit geringerer Verformbarkeit als die der Wüste aufweist. Der Körper ist vorzugsweise in der Zwischenkammer längsverschiebbar angeordnet. Alternativ ist es möglich, diese Zwischenkammer als von den Wülsten unabhängig aufblasbare Kammer auszubilden. Das Therapiekissen erlaubt eine stabile Lagerung des Patienten und durch rhytmische Bewegungen können z.B. Wirbel-und Gelenkblockaden behandelt werden.A therapy pillow for the treatment of patients consists of an inflatable hollow body 10, which has two beads 24, 26 arranged in mirror image to the longitudinal center, which form an inflatable single-chamber system and which are almost adjacent to one another in the head region 14, but are spaced apart from one another in the trunk area, where a central chamber is formed, which has an elongated elastically deformable body 32 with less deformability than that of the desert. The body is preferably arranged to be longitudinally displaceable in the intermediate chamber. Alternatively, it is possible to design this intermediate chamber as a chamber that can be inflated independently of the beads. The therapy pillow allows the patient to be stable and rhythmic movements can e.g. Vertebral and joint blockages are treated.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Therapiekissen. Es dient als Hilfmittel zur Mobilisation und Reposition der gesamten Wirbelsäule sowie einzelner Wirbelkörper- und Gelenke. Weiterhin dient es zur Funktionsnormalisierung der Gelenke des Schultergürtels und durch Mobilisierung einzelner Ripgengelenke des gesamten Brustkorbes. Das Kissen wird außerdem als Hilfsmittel bei der neurophysiologisch orientierten Spastikerbehandlung und Tetraplegikertherapie eingesetzt.The invention relates to a therapy pillow. It serves as an aid for mobilization and repositioning of the entire spine as well as individual vertebral bodies and joints. It also serves to normalize the function of the joints of the shoulder girdle and by mobilizing individual rib joints of the entire chest. The pillow is also used as an aid in neurophysiologically oriented spasticity treatment and quadriplegic therapy.

Das neue Therapiekissen dient als Unterlage für Patienten und ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß es als ein eine Oberwand und eine damit ringsum dicht verbundene Unterwand aufweisender luftmatratzenartig aufblasbarer Hohlkörper mit zwei in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Wulsten ausgebildet ist, daß beide Wulste ein Einkammersystem bilden und im Kopfbereich mindestens nahezu aneinandergrenzen und daß zwischen ihnen im Rumpfbereich ein elastisch verformbarer länglicher Körper mit geringerer Verformbarkeit als die der Wülste vorgesehen ist.The new therapy cushion is used as a support for patients and is characterized in that it is designed as an air mattress-like inflatable hollow body with an upper wall and a lower wall connected tightly around it with two longitudinally extending beads, that both beads form a unicameral system and at least almost in the head area adjoin each other and that an elastically deformable elongated body with less deformability than that of the beads is provided between them in the trunk area.

Als Einsatzbereich für das neuartige Therapie-Behandlungskissen gelten: Physiotherapie, physikalische Therapie, Krankengymnastik, Mobilisations- und Chirotherapie, Orthopädie, Neurologie.The area of application for the new therapy treatment pillow is: physiotherapy, physical therapy, physiotherapy, mobilization and chirotherapy, orthopedics, neurology.

Wesentlich ist, daß der längliche Mittelkörper im Rumpfbereich formbeständiger, dh. nicht so leicht verformbar,insbesondere steifer, ist, als die beiden durch das Einkammersystem miteinander verbundenen Wülste. Gemäß einer Ausführungsform besteht der längliche Körper aus Schaumgummi oder Schaumstoff und ist vorzugsweise in einer länglichen Kammer untergebracht, die von dem Einkammersystem der Wülste unabhängig sein kann. Die längliche Kammerist dabei vorzugsweise länger, als der kompressible Einsatzkörper und letzterer kann daher in der Kammer inlängsrichtung verschoben werden, um eine Anpassung an die Körpergröße des Patienten vornehmen zu können.It is essential that the elongated central body in the trunk area is more dimensionally stable, ie. is not so easily deformable, in particular stiffer, than the two beads connected by the single-chamber system. In one embodiment, the elongated body is made of foam rubber or foam and is preferably in an elongated chamber housed, which can be independent of the single-chamber system of the beads. The elongated chamber is preferably longer than the compressible insert body and the latter can therefore be displaced in the longitudinal direction in the chamber in order to be able to adapt to the height of the patient.

Eine alternative Lösung im Rahmen der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der längliche Körper aus einer eigenen, von den Wülsten unabhängigen Kammer besteht, die ebenfalls aufblasbar ist und ein eigenes Aufblasventil aufweist. Indem diese Mittelkammer im Rumpfbereich stärker aufgeblasen wird als die Wülste, kann ebenfalls die Wirkung erreicht werden, daß dieser Mittelbereich eine geringere Verformbarkeit hat als die Wülste.An alternative solution in the context of the invention is that the elongated body consists of its own chamber which is independent of the beads, which is also inflatable and has its own inflation valve. By inflating this middle chamber in the fuselage area more than the beads, the effect can also be achieved that this middle area has a lower deformability than the beads.

Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist noch darin zu sehen, daß sich zwischen den beiden Wülsten im Kopfbereich ein die Oberwand und die Unterwand durchdringender Längsschlitz befindet. Der Kopf des Patienten ruht während der Behandlung zwischen den Wülsten im Kopfbereich des Kissens und bei Bauchlage des Patienten ermöglicht bzw. erleichtert dieser Schlitz das Atmen. Es versteht sich, daß anstelle des Schlitzes auch eine Aussparung, also eine geeignete öffnung vorgesehen werden kann. In jedem Fall ist der Schlitz oder die Aussparung allseitig begrenzt.An embodiment of the invention can still be seen in the fact that there is a longitudinal slot penetrating the top wall and the bottom wall between the two beads in the head region. During the treatment, the patient's head rests between the beads in the head area of the pillow and when the patient lies prone, this slit enables or facilitates breathing. It goes without saying that instead of the slot there is also a recess, a suitable opening can therefore be provided. In any case, the slot or the recess is limited on all sides.

Wichtig für die Funktion des Kissens ist weiterhin, daß die Breite des Kissens im Kopfbereich geringer als im Rumpfbereich ist und daß die Höhe der Wülste zum Kopfende des Kopfbereiches hin allmählich abnimmt. Der Wulstumfang ist im mittleren Rumpfbereich am größten und nimmt zu beiden Enden hin ab.It is also important for the function of the pillow that the width of the pillow is smaller in the head area than in the trunk area and that the height of the beads gradually decreases towards the head end of the head area. The circumference of the bulge is greatest in the middle of the body and decreases towards both ends.

Es versteht sich, daß das Einkammersystem der Wülste nur mit einem geringen Druck aufgeblasen wird. Zwischen jedem Wulst und der mittleren länglichen Kammer ergibt sich im Querschnitt eine Senke. Diese beiden Senken dienen im hinteren Rumpfbereich oder im Beinbereich zur Stabilisierung der Beine des Patienten.It is understood that the single-chamber system of the beads is only inflated with a low pressure. A cross-section creates a depression between each bead and the central elongated chamber. These two depressions serve to stabilize the patient's legs in the rear trunk area or in the leg area.

Entsprechend der in Längsrichtung konvexen Oberflächenform der Wülste ist auch der verformbare Körper im Bereich der Rumpfmitte am höchsten und nimmt in seiner Höhe zu den Rumpfenden hin allmählich ab.Corresponding to the longitudinally convex surface shape of the beads, the deformable body is also highest in the area of the middle of the trunk and gradually decreases in height towards the ends of the trunk.

Das neue Therapiekissen ermöglicht dank des umgebenden Einkammerprinzips durch gleichmäßige Gewichtsverteilung des Patienten eine stabile Lagerung des Patienten in kyphosierter, wirbelsäulenentspannender Lage. Dadurch ergeben sich günstige, relaxierende, neurophysiologische Reize durch eben beschriebene, relativ gleichmäßige Gewichtsverteilung auf dem Therapiekissen ohne Durchhängen der Wirbelsäule und somit verblockendem Facettenschluß einzelner Wirbelabschnitte. Durch rhytmische, einseitig im Wechsel,ausgeführte Bewegungen am passiv liegenden Patienten oder am Therapiekissen selbst, kommt der Oberkörper gegen den Beckengürtel des Patienten in eine Gegenbewegung, wodurch neben der hier wichtigen Torsionsbewegung der,durch in ihrer gesamten Länge kyphosierten Wirbelsäule und somit erreichten öffnung der Dornfortsätze nach dorsal auch eine, durch weiche Dehnung erreichte, muskuläre Entspannung der-anteiligen Muskelgruppen, besonders aber der manualtherapeutisch sehr schwierig zu erreichenden kleinen, ventral und lateral der Wirbelsäule liegenden, Muskeln erreicht wird. Dies kommt zu gute bei der Behandlung von Wirbel- und Gelenkblockaden, besonders bei schmerzverkrampften, psychisch und vegetativ verkrampften Patienten und somit auch bei psycho-somatischen multifaktoriellen Schmerzbildern. Auch die somit zu erreichende Entlastung der Bandscheiben ermöglicht deren Volumenvergrößerung durch Ermöglichung osmotisch bedingter Flüssigkeitsvermehrung in dem Bandscheibenknorpel und bei Verlagerung die Lagenormalisierung des Bandscheibenkernes (Nucleus pulposus) selbst noch bei kleinen Hernien oder leichtem Bandscheibenprolaps. Alleine durch die somit erreichte schmerzfreie Lagerung, aber auch durch speziell erlernbare Techniken, lassen sich Ischialgien, Parästhesien, Rückenschmerzen, Brachialgien, Interkostal- wie allgemeine Neuralgien, Kopfschmerzen, Migräne, zerebrale, wie auch periphere Durchblutungsstörungen, etc. günstig beeinflussen.Thanks to the surrounding unicameral principle, the new therapy pillow enables a stable position of the patient in a kyphosed, spinal relaxing position thanks to the even weight distribution of the patient. This results in favorable, relaxing, neurophysiological stimuli through the relatively even weight distribution just described on the therapy pillow without sagging of the spine and thus blocking the facet closure of individual vertebral sections. Due to rhythmic, alternating movements on the passive patient or on the therapy cushion itself, the upper body moves in a countermovement against the patient's pelvic girdle, which in addition to the important torsional movement of the spine, which is kyphosed in its entire length, and thus the opening of the spine Spinous processes dorsally also achieve muscular relaxation of the part of the muscle groups achieved by soft stretching, but especially the small muscles located ventrally and laterally of the spine, which are very difficult to reach by manual therapy. This is good for the treatment of vertebral and joint blockages, especially in patients with painful, psychologically and vegetatively cramped patients and thus also with psycho-somatic multifactorial pain patterns. The resulting relief of the intervertebral discs also enables their volume to be increased by enabling osmotically induced fluid growth in the intervertebral disc cartilage and, in the event of displacement, the position normalization of the intervertebral disc nucleus (nucleus pulposus) even with small hernias or slight intervertebral disc prolapse. Alone through the pain-free positioning thus achieved, but also through specially learnable techniques, sciatica, paraesthesia, back pain, brachialgia, intercostal as well as general neuralgia, headache, migraine, cerebral and peripheral blood circulation disorders, etc. can be influenced favorably.

Das allgemein mit 10 bezeichnete Therapiekissen ist im Format länglich und besteht aus einem mittleren Rumpfteil 12, einem oberen Kopfteil 14 und einem unteren Beinteil 16. Das Kissen ist doppelwandig und weist eine Oberwand 18 und eine Unterwand 20 auf, die beide längs eines umlaufenden Randes 22 miteinander luftdicht verbunden sind. Im Kissen 10 werden zwei über die ganze länge reichende Wülste 24,26 gebildet, die ein geschlossenes Einkammer-Luftsystem bilden und daher mittels eines Ventiles oder Anschlusses 28 (Figur 2) aufgeblasen werden können. Im Kopfbereich 14 grenzen die beiden Wülste 24,26 praktisch aneinander, jedoch ist dort zwischen den beiden Wülsten 24,26 eine längliche öffnung in Form eines Schlitzes 30 vorgesehen, der sich durch Oberwand 18 und Unterwand 20 hindurcherstreckt und dem Atmen des Patienten in Bauchlage dient.The therapy pillow, generally designated 10, is elongated in format and consists of a middle trunk part 12, an upper head part 14 and a lower leg part 16. The pillow is double-walled and has an upper wall 18 and a lower wall 20, both along a circumferential edge 22 are airtight. In the pillow 10, two beads 24, 26 extending over the entire length are formed, which form a closed single-chamber air system and can therefore be inflated by means of a valve or connection 28 (FIG. 2). In the head region 14, the two beads 24, 26 practically adjoin one another, but there is an elongated opening in the form of a slot 30 between the two beads 24, 26, which extends through the top wall 18 and bottom wall 20 and serves for breathing the patient in the prone position .

Im mittleren Rumpfbereich 12 haben die beiden Wülste 24,26 einen Abstand voneinander und zwischen ihnen ist eine längliche Kammer 32 gebildet, die gegenüber der von den Wülsten 24,26 gebildeten Kammer abgeschlossen sein kann. in dieser länglichen Kammer 32 befindet sich bei der Ausführung gemäß Figur 2 ein steifer, elastisch verformbarer Kern in Form eines Körpers aus Schaumgummi oder Schaumstoff. Dieser Kern 34 ist länglich ausgebildet und hat eine geringere Länge als die Kammer 32, sodaß der Kern 34 in der Kammer in Längsrichtung verschoben werden kann. Die Verschiebung dient der Anpassung an die Körpergröße des Patienten. Die Höhe des elastisch verformbaren Körpers 34 ist im Rumpfmittelbereich 12 am größten und nimmt zu den beiden Enden hin ab. Die Oberfläche des Körpers 34 ist somit in Längsrichtung konvex gewölbt. Quer dazu kann die Oberfläche ebenfalls leicht konvex gewölbt oder auch geradlinig ausgebildet sein, wie in Figur 2 veranschaulicht ist.In the central fuselage area 12, the two beads 24, 26 are spaced apart from one another and an elongated chamber 32 is formed between them, which can be closed off from the chamber formed by the beads 24, 26. in the elongated chamber 32 in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 there is a rigid, elastically deformable core in the form of a body made of foam rubber or foam. This core 34 is elongated and has a shorter length than the chamber 32, so that the core 34 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction in the chamber. The shift serves to adapt to the height of the patient. The height of the elastically deformable body 34 is greatest in the central region 12 of the trunk and decreases towards the two ends. The surface of the body 34 is thus in Longitudinally convex. At right angles to this, the surface can also be slightly convex or straight, as illustrated in FIG. 2.

Die Oberwand 18 und die Unterwand 20 des Kissens 10 sind mittels Zwischenwänden 36,38 miteinander verbunden, die im aufgeblasenen Zustand der Wülste 24,26 etwa vertikal liegen und die Kammer 32 seitlich begrenzen, sodaß der verformbare Schaumkörper 34 gegen eine Verschiebung in Querrichtung gesichert ist. Das Längsformat dieser Zwischenwände 36,38 ergibt sich aus Figur 4, wobei die Umrißlinie für diese Zwischenwände durch die Form der Oberwand 18 und der Unterwand 20 bestimmt ist..The upper wall 18 and the lower wall 20 of the cushion 10 are connected to one another by means of intermediate walls 36, 38, which are approximately vertical in the inflated state of the beads 24, 26 and delimit the chamber 32 laterally, so that the deformable foam body 34 is secured against displacement in the transverse direction . The longitudinal format of these intermediate walls 36, 38 results from FIG. 4, the outline of these intermediate walls being determined by the shape of the upper wall 18 and the lower wall 20.

Der Kopfbereich 14 des Kissens 10 ist schmaler als der Rumpfbereich, womit erreicht wird, daß die Wülste zum Kopfende hin allmählich flacher werden. Um eine entsprechende Abflachung im Beinbereich 16 der Wülste zu erreichen, sind Oberwand 18 und Unterwand 20 an, in Längsrichtung verlaufenden, Verbindungslinien 40,42 miteinander verbunden, die sich am unteren Ende des Beinbereiches 16 erstrecken. Im Beinbereich 16 ergibt sich zwischen jedem Wulst 24 bzw. 26 und der mittleren Kammer 32 an der Oberwand 18 eine Senke, die zur Stabilisierung der Beinlage beiträgt.The head region 14 of the pillow 10 is narrower than the trunk region, with the result that the beads gradually become flatter towards the head end. In order to achieve a corresponding flattening in the leg area 16 of the beads, the top wall 18 and bottom wall 20 are connected to one another in the longitudinal direction, connecting lines 40, 42, which are at the un extend the lower end of the leg region 16. In the leg area 16 there is a depression between each bead 24 or 26 and the middle chamber 32 on the upper wall 18, which contributes to the stabilization of the leg position.

Der umlaufende Rand 22 des Kissens 10 hat am oberen Querrand und am unteren Querrand jeweils zwei Befestigungsösen 46. Die beiden Längsränder sind in passenden Abständen mit einer Anzahl entsprechender ösen 46 versehen. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind fünf ösen an jedem Längsrand vorgesehen. Diese ösen dienen zur lösbaren Fixierung des Therapiekissens 10 auf einem Massagetisch oder dergl.The circumferential edge 22 of the pillow 10 has two fastening eyelets 46 on the upper transverse edge and on the lower transverse edge. The two longitudinal edges are provided with a number of corresponding eyelets 46 at suitable intervals. In the exemplary embodiment, five eyelets are provided on each longitudinal edge. These eyelets are used for detachable fixation of the therapy pillow 10 on a massage table or the like.

Figur 3 erläutert eine Alternative des Kissens insofern, als der steife Kern 34 in der mittleren länglichen Kammer 32 entfällt. Die mittlere Kammer 32 ist in diesem Fall luftdicht geschlossen, was bei der Ausführung gemäß Figur 2 nicht der Fall zu sein braucht. Gemäß Figur 3 ist die mittlere Längskammer 32 mit einem eigenen Aufblasventil 44 versehen und es versteht sich, daß durch richtige Wahl der Aufblasdrücke erreicht werden kann, daß die Mittelkammer 32 steifer ist, als die beiden Randwülste 24,26.Figure 3 illustrates an alternative to the pillow in that the rigid core 34 in the central elongated chamber 32 is eliminated. The middle chamber 32 is closed airtight in this case, which need not be the case in the embodiment according to FIG. 2. According to Figure 3, the central longitudinal chamber 32 is provided with its own inflation valve 44 and it is understood that can be achieved by correct choice of the inflation pressures that the Middle chamber 32 is stiffer than the two edge beads 24, 26.

Wenn im Vorstehenden gesagt ist, daß der Schaumgummikörper in einer Kammer untergebracht ist, so heißt das, daß diese Kammer offen sein kann, jedoch vom aufblasbaren Einkammersystem unabhängig ist oder daß diese Kammer in das Einkammersystem offen integriert ist, dann jedoch notwendigerweise nach außen geschlossen ist.If it is said in the foregoing that the foam rubber body is accommodated in a chamber, this means that this chamber can be open, but is independent of the inflatable single-chamber system or that this chamber is openly integrated into the single-chamber system, but is then necessarily closed to the outside .
