Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for rehabilitation of the spine, with a frame, a slow rotating motor at least one eccentric, and a gripping device for gripping the body of a user, wherein the motor drives the gripping device via the at least one eccentric.
  • a device of the type mentioned is from the Known from DE-A 2 237 893 and has two at the upper end of the frame arranged, 180 ° offset from each other Eccentric, at the ends of which a belt loop is suspended.
  • the Belt loop is carried out under the patient's armpits, so that this in the area of the upper body or the shoulder girdle is taken.
  • the height of the frame and the length of the Belt loops are designed so that the patient levitates freely hangs.
  • the opposite movement of the two eccentrics causes a back and forth shaking movement of the body.
  • the invention aims to provide a device create an effective spinal rehabilitation, especially in the case of damage to the intervertebral discs.
  • a device of the type mentioned in the introduction which is characterized according to the invention by a lying surface for supporting the body in a lying position, wherein the gripping device is arranged above the lying surface for gripping the user's pelvis, the eccentric axes run parallel to the lying surface and perpendicular to their longitudinal extent, and where several eccentrics are always in the same angular position with each other, so that during operation the motor sets the gripping device in a circular movement in a vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal extension of the lying surface via the at least one eccentric.
  • the invention thus creates a completely new type of rehabilitation device, which is a slow and active movement of the Beckens performs in a circular motion that in a vertical plane runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body.
  • the Invention causes a continuous movement of the spine especially in the area of the sacrum, lumbar and the lower thoracic vertebrae 5 to 12.
  • the intervertebral discs are loosened, relieves and relaxes. Regular use the device provides spinal injured patients a noticeable pain relief.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized is characterized by the fact that the eccentric is driven at 0.5-3 rpm is. In this area there is good rehabilitation and pleasant Guaranteed application of the device. Particularly preferred the eccentric is driven at about 2 rpm. This In practice, value has proven to be particularly pleasant and beneficial proved.
  • the eccentricity of the eccentric in the area adjustable from 5-15 cm. This is the movement stroke the device to the user's height and personal Feel adaptable. Practice has shown that it is particularly favorable if the eccentricity of the eccentric 7.5 - 12.5 cm, preferably about 11 cm. In this An optimum of the rehabilitation effect was found in the area.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the gripping device at least in the deepest Position the pelvis on the lying surface in the course of their movement brings to circulation. This will make the spine periodic lowered into a relaxed lying position. If the Gripping device not only at the lowest point, but also over a larger section of their movement on the lying surface is also periodically published creates a pause in movement.
  • the gripping device a sagging down Belt loop is suspended from a belt hanger which is rotatably mounted on the rotating end of the eccentric is. This represents a particularly simple and effective one Form of the gripping device.
  • an eccentric is arranged on both sides of the bed and the gripping device is a sagging downward Belt loop is, the ends of which at the circular ends of the Eccentrics are each rotatably mounted.
  • the Length of the belt loop is adjustable so that the one described above The resting point or rest area of the movement varies can be.
  • the device according to the invention is that the eccentric is formed from a crank, which by one on the frame assembled motor driven by a reduction gear is.
  • the device for rehabilitation the spine a lying surface 1 for supporting the Body in a lying position, the user (not shown) face down (i.e. face down) on the Lying surface 1 is.
  • the lying surface 1 is elastic Edition 2, e.g. an exercise mat.
  • the lying area 1 is in the middle of one Frame 3 spanned across.
  • the frame 3 could only be arranged on one side of the lying surface 1, or from two individual, arranged on both sides of the lying surface 2 separate Frame parts exist (not shown).
  • the frame 3 carries an electric motor 4, which has a Reduction gear 5 drives two eccentrics 6 slowly.
  • the Eccentrics 6 are above the lying surface 2 on both sides of the same arranged so that their two eccentric axes 7, 8 transversely run to lying surface 2, i.e. essentially horizontal and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body on the lying surface 2 lying patient (not shown).
  • a slack belt loop 9 rotatably mounted at the circular ends of the eccentrics 6, i.e. the axes of rotation 7.
  • the rotating storage is in the case shown with the help of two rigid extension pieces 10 of the belt ends achieved on the axes of rotation 7 the eccentric 6 are rotatably mounted.
  • the belt loop 9 is with the help of an integrated (not shown) double ring adjustable in length.
  • the length of the belt loop 9 can be adjusted that they are in the lowest position 12, which they in the course of their movement 11 reached, on the lying surface 1 comes to rest.
  • the belt loop 9 could also be longer, so that it has a lower area of their movement 11 on the lying surface 1 temporarily remains or slides.
  • the person to be treated lies down with his face down in the longitudinal direction onto the lying surface 1, etc. so that her head points in the direction of arrow 13 (Fig. 4) and her pelvis lies above the belt loop 9 or "hangs" in it. in the Operation of the device is therefore periodically raised the pool and pulled back in the raised position.
  • the drive speed of the eccentric 6 and thus the Belt loop 9 is preferably 0.5-3 rpm, particularly preferred 2 rpm.
  • the stroke of the belt loop 9, i.e. the diameter their circular motion 11, is by changing the eccentricity the eccentric 6 changeable. Under “eccentricity” here the distance between the axes of rotation 7 and 8 understood.
  • the Eccentric 6 in the example shown each from one Crank formed, the middle part of which is in the form of a flat iron with several openings (not shown), which as storage openings and thus axes of rotation 7, 8 can be selected.
  • a continuously adjustable crank would be Eccentric 6 possible.
  • the eccentricity of the eccentrics 6 in the region is preferred adjustable from 5 - 15 cm, particularly preferred in the range of 7.5 - 12.5 cm. Most preferably, it is in the range of about 11 cm, so that the diameter of the circular movement 11 about Is 22 cm.
  • the reduction gear 5 is in the case shown formed by two belt or chain reductions, etc. a belt 14 from the output shaft 15 of the engine 4 to one Pulley 16 and two chains 17 by the shaft 18 of the Pulley 16 run to two sprockets 19, which the Drive eccentric 6. It goes without saying that any other Form of reduction gear can be used.
  • any other shape could also be used of gripping device can be used, for example a support board or two grips that hold the patient's pelvis grasp from both sides and clamp.
  • the motor 4 can with an appropriate speed regulation be equipped to make a continuous change to enable the number of revolutions.
