Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a device which has been especially designed for carrying out physical exercises, specifically at the level of the upper extremities of the users, achieving rotating motions in shoulders, shoulder blades, clavicles, elbows and wrists, mainly in rehabilitation processes, although it is also usable in prevention exercises.
  • the device is especially suitable for being used in rehabilitation centers, but it is likewise usable in gymnasiums or at the individual level.
  • Recognition is given to document DE 3726825 , comprising a training device for the strengthening of the back and the neck and back joint, comprising a type of stretcher on which the user must lie facedowrn, said stretcher having at its sides crooked handles the position of which can be regulated allowing the user to perform an exercise similar to that of swimming.
  • the device proposed by the invention fills in this technological gap, constituting a simple and effective solution for carrying out the previously mentioned exercises.
  • said device is constituted of a pair of supports which are intended for being fixed to a wall or the like in their simplest version, but which can form part of an autonomous apparatus in which said supports are carried out in columns projecting from a base platform, which grants to said columns the suitable stability, above all taking into account that the user is intended to be located thereon while doing the exercise.
  • each one of these supports vertically elongated and with the possibility of adjustment regarding the mutual spacing thereof, is arranged with a kind of guide for adjusting it to the body width of the user, for example based on an alignment of likewise vertical openings, such that these openings are selectively usable for the articulated connection of a connecting rod which, according to the selected opening of the guide, will adopt a determined height, also according to the body size of the user.
  • Each one of these connecting rods is finished off at its free end with a kind of mitten, connected also in an articulated manner thereto, a mitten which can include a belt in order to improve the fixing of the former to the hand of the user, a hand which must be maintained outstretched since the efficacy of the exercise is greater in this position.
  • both the articulated connection of each connecting rod to the corresponding support, and of the mitten to the corresponding connecting rod are carried out by means of conical bearings which, according to a greater or lesser axial tightness, oblige a greater or lesser effort in the rotating motion both of the connecting rods and of the mittens, in order to intensify the exercise to be carried out or not.
  • Each connecting rod will additionally incorporate a longitudinal alignment of openings for the selective use in the coupling of the corresponding mitten, also for the purpose of regulating at will the plane motion of the latter by means of a greater or smaller spacing with regard to the pivot shaft of the connecting rod on the support, i.e. with a greater or smaller effective length of the connecting rod.
  • the device proposed by the invention is constituted of two vertical supports which, according to the embodiment variant shown in Figures 1. to 3 , are carried out in respective approximately Z-shaped section profiles (1), such that by means of one of the branches thereof, the one corresponding to reference number (1), and with the collaboration of openings (2), its fixing to the wall is carried out by means of screwing, whereas its other branch (3) has a longitudinal alignment of openings (4) and is markedly distant from the wall (5) for the purpose of allowing the necessary manipulations for fixing and changing the position of the rotating shaft (6) for a connecting rod (7), which will be described below.
  • the device can be autonomous, i.e. the wall (5) not being necessary for the fixing of the former, in which case the supports (1) are carried out in columns (1') extending to the floor, as is observed in Figure 4 , specifically the columns are fixed with the possibility of adjusting the spacing thereof on a platform (8), granting the columns (1') the suitable stability, above all during the exercise, in which the user is standing on said platform (8), loading it with his or her body weight, these columns (1') having respective longitudinal alignments of openings (4) for the same purpose of adjusting the height level for the connecting rods (7).
  • these connecting rods (7) incorporate in turn an alignment of openings (9) allowing for selective coupling for the shaft (10) of respective mittens (11), preferably provided with belts (12) for fixing of the hand which, outstretched, perfectly adapts to the mittens (11).
  • Each connecting rod (7) rotates around its shaft (6) with interposition of a conical bearing, such that according to a greater or lesser tightness of said bearing, it is achieved that the turn of each connecting rod (7) requires a greater or lesser physical effort, and the same occurs with the rotating shaft (10) of each mitten (11) with regard to the corresponding connecting rod (7).
  • the front offset of the branch (3) of the supports (1) with regard to the wall (5) allows for the necessary manipulations on the rear side of said branch in order to carry out the fixing of the shafts (6), as is especially observed in Figure 3 , whereas when an autonomous support such as that in Figure 4 is used, there is no problem whatsoever in manipulating the locking screws of the shafts (6) on the rear side of the columns (1'), said shafts (6) in this case, as has already been stated previously, being able to be finished off on the rear side of the support with respective pinions which, with the collaboration of a third pinion, a chain and a crank, not shown in said Figure 4 , allow the physical therapist to provide motion to said crank, and, by means of the connecting rods (7), to the mittens (11), in order for the physical therapist to be the one who moves the arms of the patient with the suitable speed.
