Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for stimulating the musculoskeletal system and the muscles, especially in the arm and shoulder area with one Handle part, at least one mass element connected to the handle part and a drive mechanism for generating an oscillating movement between mass elements and handle part.
  • dumbbells in which the grip part and mass elements are rigid with each other are connected both in strength training and in medical Rehabilitation used to strengthen the arm muscles.
  • the one on the handle held dumbbell is swiveling the hand, elbow and Shoulder joints through muscle strength mostly according to a predetermined scheme moves, which attack the dumbbell in the course of the movement Mass forces through those controlled via the central nervous system Musculoskeletal system are intercepted.
  • Most dumbbell exercises require significant physical exertion that leads to stress on the Cardiovascular system.
  • vibrating massagers with which the muscles are to be stimulated. The vibrators are pressed against the muscles to be treated, so that the muscle fibers are set in motion by friction over the tissue. there is overlooked, however, that vibration treatment of dormant muscles can be of little therapeutic effect.
  • a dumbbell-like device is also known (Derweut Publications Ltd. XP 002049734), in which a hollow handle is connected to two hollow bodies which contain weights connected by a shaft. It can one of the plate-shaped weights eccentric to the shaft by motor drive rotate. The position of the plate-shaped weights is adjustable, what a change in the amplitude of the center of gravity movement relative to the Grip axis means.
  • the invention has for its object the known dumbbell-like device to improve the type specified in that it is particularly is stable and reliable and can be held with one hand.
  • the solution according to the invention is based on the knowledge that a therapeutic effective stimulation of the muscles is only given if it builds on a basic tone of the muscle fibers, depending on the constitution of the patient can vary widely.
  • the mass element as a frame with two spaced apart, parallel aligned support columns and two the ends of the support columns Traverses connecting in pairs is formed, and that Handle part one arranged in the area between the support columns, parallel to this aligned and relative to these oscillating handle sleeve having.
  • the basic tone is achieved in the dumbbell-like device according to the invention specified the weight of the mass element.
  • the device is on his Grip part gripped by hand and by turning the wrist, the Elbow joint and the shoulder joint in a predetermined position relative is brought to the body.
  • the drive mechanism on the device generates an oscillating movement between the mass element and the handle part, So the mass forces that attack on the hand must through the arm muscles under the influence of the central nervous system be corrected.
  • the muscles depend on their physical constitution have different response and cooldown times, it is important that the stimulation takes place at different oscillation frequencies. Therefore, according to the invention, there is a control device for controlling the drive mechanism provided with an optionally adjustable oscillation frequency, where the oscillation frequency is between 1 and 60 Hz, should preferably be adjustable between 10 and 30 Hz.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that that as a handle trained grip part has a defined grip axis and that Mass element with its center of gravity oscillating transversely to the handle axis is displaceable or rotatable oscillating about the handle axis.
  • the focus movement of the mass element to the handle axis points in applications expediently an amplitude of 3 to 30 mm, preferably in the arm region from 5 to 15 mm.
  • the setting of the oscillation amplitude is not very critical in the range of the given optimal values, it can with a universal use of the device according to the invention may be advantageous, if the oscillation amplitude corresponds to the respective application is adjustable.
  • the drive mechanism can a preferably arranged in a cavity of the support columns, speed-controlled electric motor with output shaft parallel to the support column axis and between the output shaft and the eccentric shaft, preferably have gear means designed as a toothed belt drive.
  • the crossbeams can each have a holding plate for the support columns and the pivot bearings and a protective cover each over the holding plate exhibit.
  • the support columns can be used to change the basic tone and / or the holding plates are equipped with interchangeable weight bodies become.
  • an acceleration sensor in the handle part and / or in the mass element is arranged, the output side with a computer-aided, additionally with movement data of the drive mechanism loadable evaluation circuit connected is.
  • the device according to the invention also in a hand or foot-operated strength training machine (Bodybuilding machine) to use if the handle part as a handle or foot pedal for generation a basic tone in the area to be treated Muscles is trained.
  • Bodybuilding machine hand or foot-operated strength training machine
  • the oscillating dumbbell shown in the drawing consists essentially of a handle part 10, a with the handle member 10 connected mass element 12 and a drive mechanism 14 for generating an oscillating Movement between the mass element 12 and the handle part 10.
  • the drive mechanism 14 is via a control unit 42 with optionally adjustable Frequency controlled.
  • the mass element 12 is a frame with two spaced apart, parallel aligned support columns 16 and two connecting the ends of the support columns 16 in pairs Travers 18 formed while the handle part 10 one in the area between the support columns 16 arranged, aligned parallel to these and relative has to this oscillating handle sleeve 22.
  • the cross members 18 each consist of a holding plate 24 for the support columns 16 and one the holding plate 24 protective cover 26 on the outside.
  • the gripping sleeve 22 around the gripping axis 20 is rotatably arranged on the eccentric shaft 30.
  • the Drive mechanism 14 has one in a cavity one of the support columns arranged, speed-controlled Electric motor 32 with parallel to the support column axis Output shaft 34 and one between output shaft 34 and eccentric shaft 30 arranged toothed belt drive 36 on.
  • the handle part 10 within the frame dryer Mass element 12 an eccentric movement with a stroke a.
  • the invention refers to a dumbbell-like device for stimulation of the musculoskeletal system and the muscles in particular in the arm and shoulder area.
  • the device points a handle part 10 and at least one with the handle part 10 connected mass element.
  • the mass of the barbell-like Device created under the influence of gravity a basic tone in the muscle fibers.
  • the real one The muscles are stimulated by a oscillating movement between handle part 10 and mass element 12 by an integrated in the device Drive mechanism 14 is generated.
