Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to exercising devices and, more particularly, to a novel device which provides for strengthening the lower back without twisting or compressing the vertebral column " Q of the user.
  • Hyperextensions, and especially excessive hyperextensions, can be dangerous, since compression of the spine is involved. This can lead to fractures of the compressed vertebrae occurring as a result of the forces acting on the back of the person.
  • the simplest solution is to strengthen the back by exercise of the muscles of the hip and back.
  • the back extension machine When the back extension machine is used, an individual in the seated position presses on part of the machine with his or her back, so that the upper part of the body goes from a position substantially perpendicular to the lower part of the body to a position in which the whole body is substantially straight. A user of this machine conducts exercises in the seated position while the spine is already compressed. When the back presses on part of the machine, the spine compresses and arches substantially further, especially if the resistance is great. This can lead to excessive compression and shearing forces acting on the vertebrae and disks, injuring the back of a person.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such device and method which are relatively easy and comfortable to use.
  • An additional object of the invention is to provide such a device that is readily adjusted to accommodate users of different sizes.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide such a device that is easily and economically constructed.
  • a device for strengthening the lower back of a user which includes a frame having a horizontal member for support of the hips of the user and having, spaced apart from the hip support, a horizontal platform for support of the head, shoulders, and upper chest of the user.
  • the user places himself upon the frame so that his hips, head, shoulders, and upper chest are supported, with his legs hanging vertically from the hip support.
  • the chest of the user is largely unsupported to permit comfortable and easy breathing.
  • the strengthening motion comprises raising the legs from the vertical position to the horizontal position and again to the vertical position. There is little or no risk of injury to the vertebral column, due to the fact that the vertebral column is stationary when the exercise is executed.
  • a hydraulically operated hinged member effects the above leg movement to provide therapy for disabled users.
  • Figure 1 is a side elevation view of one embodiment of the present invention with a user thereon.
  • Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device of Figure 1 showing the supporting members of the device.

  • Figure 1 depicts a device for use in strengthening the lower back, constructed according to the present invention, generally indicated by the reference numeral 10, with a user thereon.
  • Device 10 includes an upper horizontal frame member 12 having a support platform 14 freely movable fore and aft thereon.
  • Device 10 further includes a lower horizontal frame 16 for support of said device on a floor or like supporting surface.
  • Upper frame 12 is mounted on a first pair of telescoping legs having upper sections 22 fixedly attached to the upper frame and a lower sections 24 fixedly attached to lower frame 14.
  • a similar, second pair of telescoping legs having upper sections 26 and lower sections 28 movably joins upper horizontal frame member 12 to lower horizontal frame 16.
  • the height of upper frame 12 and support platform 14 from lower horizontal frame 16 is selectively adjusted by means of a conventional worm gear mechanism 30.
  • upper horizontal ' frame 12 Fixedly and horizontally disposed at the rear of upper horizontal ' frame 12 is a rounded, cushioned hip support 40 generally disposed somewhat rearwardly of upper leg sections 22, so that device 10 can accommodate users with large thighs.
  • support platform 14 includes a resilient pad 42 fixed thereon, the pad having an oval opening 44 formed therethrough, and the pad sloping from a high point at the forward end of the pad to a low point at the rear end of the pad.
  • Attached to the forward end of upper horizontal frame member 12 is an adjustable hand grip structure 50 telescopingly extending forwardly of the member and selectively fixed in position by means of hand screws 52.
  • fixed hand grips 54 (only one visible on Figure 1) are attached to upper leg sections 26 as shown.
  • a horizontal foot stand 56 fixedly attached at the lower ends of lower leg sections 24.
  • the user steps upon foot stand 56 and bends over hip support 40 to the position shown on Figure 1, with the central portion of the user's face inserted into oval opening 44. Placing the face in oval opening 44 assists in proper orientation of user 60 on device 10, as well as providing comfortable support for the head of the user. While moving to the position shown, the user may find it convenient to grasp fixed hand grips 54, but while using device 10 for back strengthening, the user may find it more comfortable to grip adjustable hand grip structure 50 forward of the user's head. Since the length of the legs and the length of the torso will vary from user to user, depending on age, sex, etc., mechanisms 30 and 32 will be adjusted for the comfort of each user.
  • Hip support 40 will be adjusted high enough that the feet of the user can be easily slid off foot stand 56.
  • hip support 40 Once positioned as shown, the user is supported at the hips by hip support 40.
  • the shoulders, clavicular area, and face of the user are supported by resilient pad 42, while additional support of the upper che&t may be provided by sternum support 46.
  • sternum support 46 Thus positioned, the lower portion of the user's chest is unsupported, permitting comfortable and easy breathing.
  • the whole vertebral column is stationarily positioned and is in correct, natural alignment and curvature, without compression thereof and the back muscles are relaxed when the feet are in a downward pointing position.
  • the lower back muscles which are to be strengthened during the exercise, are somewhat isolated from the rest of the back muscles.
  • the gripping of hand grip structure 50 or of fixed hand grips 54 helps stabilize the position of the upper torso of user 60 during exercise.
  • the user inhales and raises the lower extremities to a position substantially parallel to the ground, as shown in broken lines on Figure 1.
  • the user On upward ascension of the lower extremities, the user preferably points the toes downward into plantar flexion.
  • the toes preferably go into dorsi flexion during the release, while the user exhales.
  • the user's chest freely expands and contracts within the unrestricted area between hip support 40 and platform 14, thus permitting the user to breathe easily and freely.
  • Such breathing ensures an adequate supply of oxygen to the lungs, eliminates discomfort, and helps the user to exercise efficiently.
  • Having support platform 14 movably disposed on horizontal frame member 12 permits movement thereof during the exercise, thus affording user 66 a high degree of comfort and further assuring that the vertebral column is neither expanded nor compressed.
  • Figure 5 depicts device 10 modified for use in physical rehabilitation programs where injury or illness has seriously limited the range of movement of the body, or its strength, with respect to muscles of the lower back and hip, the modified device being identified generally by the reference numeral 10'.
  • Device 10' includes a leg support 70 rotatable about a shaft 72, the shaft being fixedly attached to device 10' by means of flange 74 on the right side of device 10'. It will be understood that an identical shaft and a flange (neither shown) are provided on the left side of device 10'.
  • Leg support 70 is rotated by means of a conventional hydraulic cylinder 76 having its distal end rotatably attached between upper leg sections 22, with its shaft 78 extendable to rotate the leg support from its vertical position (solid lines) to its horizontal position (broken lines), thus raising the legs of the patient.
  • the controls for hydraulic cylinder 76 are conventional and may be arranged so that either patient 66 or an attendant can operate the cylinder. The controls may provide for selectively adjusting the speed and/or extent of rotation of leg support 70.
  • patient 66 is placed on the apparatus in the position similar to that shown, which is identical to that of user 60 shown on Figure 1.
  • hydraulic cylinder 76 is activated to gradually lift leg support 70.
  • leg support 70 reaches a predetermined elevation, the direction of motion of the mechanism is reversed and the legs are gradually lowered to the initial position.
  • Such exercise can be repeated with different speeds of motion and different degrees of elevation of the legs.
  • leg support 70 can provide the lifting force to move only 50 percent of the weight of the patient's legs, the remaining 50 percent of the required force being provided through exercise of the patient's own muscles.
  • the level of support provided by the regulating mechanism is usually greater at the initial stages of rehabilitation and can be reduced as the condition of the patient improves.
  • the lower extremities of a physically impaired person are moved upwardly into a hip extension to manipulate the muscle groups of the gluteal and lower back.
  • the regulating mechanism associated with the leg support 70 enables the patient to raise and lower his or her legs with different degrees of assistance.
  • FIGS 6-8 illustrate an alternative hip support 90 which may be employed with devices 10 and 10'.
  • Hip support 90 is a generally rectilinear padded member which is disposed rearwardly of upper sections 22 and which is disposed on a shaft 92 to permit a slight amount of rotational motion as is indicated by comparing ⁇ the relative positions of hip support 90 on Figures 6 and 7.
  • hip support 90 affords a somewhat greater degree of support and comfort than does hip support 40 shown on Figures 1, 2, and 5.
  • Hip support 90 includes a cut-out portion 94 for the increased comfort of male users.
  • Figures 9-11 illustrate another alternative hip support which may be employed with devices 10 and 10', generally indicated by the reference numeral 100.
  • Hip support 100 includes a semiresilient body 102 having embedded therein a reinforcing plate 104. Fixedly attached to, and rising upwardly from, reinforcing plate 104 are two mounting tabs 110 and 112. On Figure 9, hip support 100 is shown rotatably mounted to the proximal end of upper horizontal frame member 114 at the distal ends of mounting tabs 110 and 112. It can be seen from Figure 10 that hip support is V- shaped in plan view, with the sides of the V forming an angle of about 130 degrees.
  • Hip support 100 includes an oblong front portion 120 joined to a rounded rear portion 122 at the narrow part of the oblong portion so as to form a first trough 124 in the upper surface of the hip support extending transversely from one side of the hip support to the other.
  • a second trough 126 is defined in the upper surface of hip support 100 along the central axis thereof and extending from a notch 128 defined in the front edge of the hip support to the rear edge of the hip support.
  • First trough 124 is provided to accommodate therein the pelvic crest of a user and rounded rear portion 122, having a diameter of approximately two inches, is provided to conform to the space between the pelvic crest and the pubis of a user.
  • Second trough 126 accommodates the lower abdominals of the user for comfort.
  • the distance between the root of notch 128 and first trough 124 is approximately three- and-three-quarters inches which is the average distance between navel and crest of the pelvis for a 5'-10" male. Other distances can be provided.
  • Body 102 of hip support 100 may be constructed of medium density, foamed polyether polyol as furnished by Cook Composites & Polymers, Burlington, Indiana.
  • Support platform 150 includes a first opening 152 defined generally centrally therethrough to accommodate the head of a user. Defined through support platform 150 above first opening 150 is a second opening 154 separated from the first opening by a relatively narrow bridge portion 156. Second opening 154 and bridge portion 156 are provided to accommodate heads of different heights by means of the deformation of the bridge into the second opening. Support platform 150 may be constructed of the same material as hip support 100.
  • FIGS 14 and 15 illustrate another embodiment of an exercise and rehabilitation device according to the present invention, generally indicated by the reference numeral 200. Referring principally to
  • device 200 includes an upper frame member
  • Device 200 further includes a lower horizontal frame member 220 joined to upper frame member 202 by means of two telescoping legs 222 and 224. Telescoping legs 222 and 224 are actuated, and thus the distance between upper and lower horizontal frame members 202 and 220 can be adjusted, by means of electro ⁇ mechanical actuators 230 and 232.
  • Telescoping legs 222 and 224 are fixedly attached at their lower ends to lower horizontal frame member 220, but are rotatably attached at their upper ends to upper frame member 202 such that the upper frame member can be rotated from the position shown on Figure 14 to the position shown on Figure 15 by means of actuation of an electro-mechanical actuator 226.
  • Electro-mechanical actuators 230 and 232 are controlled by "UP” and “DOWN” buttons disposed in the distal end of upper frame member 202 as shown on Figure 16 or by "UP” and “DOWN” buttons disposed in handle structure 208 as shown on Figure 17.
  • Electro ⁇ mechanical actuator 226 is controlled by "RAISE” and "LOWER” buttons disposed in handle structure 208 as shown on Figure 18.
  • Devices 10, 10', and 200 of the present invention facilitate extensions of the lower back and hip areas versus extensions of the upper torso. This is a substantially safer exercise than those disclosed by the prior art, since possibility of hyperextension or compression of the vertebral column is substantially reduced, if not totally eliminated.
