Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein verbessertes Gerät zur biomechanischen Stimulation von Muskeln.The present invention relates to an improved biomechanical device Stimulation of muscles.

Die Biomechanische Muskelstimulation (BMS) wurde Ende der 70er Jahre in Russland von Prof. Nazarov entwickelt und dort in erster Linie im Bereich des Leistungssports eingesetzt. Die BMS beruht auf einer ausschließlich mechanischen Einwirkung auf den menschlichen Körper mit Schwingungen in jeweils einer bestimmten Frequenz und einer bestimmten Amplitude, die entsprechend der gewünschten Anwendung ausgewählt werden. Die Schwingungen, die den natürlichen des Körpers ähneln und diese imitieren, wirken auf angespannte oder gedehnte Muskeln längs zur Muskelfaser ein. Durch gezielte Beeinflussung der körpereigenen Schwingungsparameter werden somit durch die BMS positive Effekte beispielsweise auf das Kreislauf- und Lymphsystem erzeugt.Biomechanical Muscle Stimulation (BMS) was developed in Russia in the late 1970s developed by Prof. Nazarov and there primarily in the field of competitive sports used. The BMS is based on an exclusively mechanical action on the human body with oscillations in each case a certain frequency and a certain amplitude, according to the desired application to be selected. The vibrations that resemble the natural of the body and These mimic, act on strained or stretched muscles along the muscle fiber one. By deliberately influencing the body's own vibration parameters thus by the BMS positive effects, for example on the circulation and Lymphatic system generated.

So kommt es aufgrund einer durch BMS hervorgerufenen Steigerung der Muskelbewegungen zu einer deutlich erhöhten Durchblutung des Muskels beziehungsweise des entsprechenden Körperteils. Dies kann zur Behandlung von Krankheiten wie peripheren Durchblutungsstörungen ausgenützt werden.This is the result of a BMS - induced increase in Muscle movements lead to a significantly increased circulation of the muscle or the corresponding body part. This can be used to treat Diseases such as peripheral circulatory disorders are exploited.

Andererseits kann mit Hilfe der BMS aber auch gezielt Muskelaufbau betrieben werden, was im sportlichen Bereich, aber auch im Gesundheitsbereich - beispielsweise beim Muskelaufbau im Rahmen von Rehabitilationsmaßnahmen - Anwendung findet.On the other hand, with the help of BMS but also targeted muscle building can be operated, what in the field of sport, but also in the health sector - for example Muscle building in the context of rehabilitation measures - application finds.

Zudem kann die BMS im kosmetischen Bereich beispielsweise gegen Faltenbildung oder Cellulite eingesetzt werden.In addition, the BMS in the cosmetic field, for example, against wrinkling or cellulite.

Im Stand der Technik sind bereits Geräte zur Durchführung der BMS beschrieben, beispielsweise in der DE-A-199 44 456, der DE-U-201 16 277 oder der DE-U-202 19 435. Hierbei wird die BMS mit Hilfe von zufällig erzeugten Vibrationen in mehr oder weniger linearer (vertikaler) Richtung durchgeführt. Es kommt zu einem Hub, der sich nachteilig auf den Benutzer auswirkt. Zudem sind die Geräte derart konzipiert, dass nur eine limitierte Anzahl an Körperpartien, beispielsweise nur der Bein- oder Armbereich - der BMS unterzogen werden kann.Devices for carrying out the BMS are already described in the prior art, for example in DE-A-199 44 456, DE-U-201 16 277 or DE-U-202 19 435.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemässen Geräts wird nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die Fig. 2 dargestellt. A preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is described below illustrated with reference to FIG. 2.

Auf einem Teil einer ovalen Grundplatte 1 ist ein L-förmiger Sockel 2 angebracht, dessen kürzerer Abschnitt von einer Abdeckung 7 umgeben ist. In einer in diesem kürzen Abschnitt des Sockels 2 befindlichen Öffnung ist die Antriebsvorrichtung für die Plattform 3 angeordnet. In diesem Beispiel handelt es sich hierbei um eine Excenterwelle, welche die Kreisbewegung der Plattform 3 hervorruft. An dem Ende des kürzeren Abschnitts des L-förmigen Sockels 2 befindet sich zusätzlich eine Bedienungseinheit 8 zur Einstellung des erfindungsgemässen Geräts. Am unteren Ende des Sockels 2 sind zwei Räder 6 angebracht, um eine einfache Beförderung des erfindungsgemässen Geräts zu gewährleisten. Am oberen Ende des längeren Abschnitts des L-förmigen Sockels 2 befindet sich ein Haltegriff 4, an welchem sich der Benutzer während des Betriebs des erfindungsgemässen Geräts festhalten kann. Entlang des längeren Abschnitts des L-förmigen Sockels 2 ist ein Band 5 angebracht. Das Band 5 ist elektrisch mit der Antriebsvorrichtung im Sockel 2 verbunden. Durch Drücken des Bandes 5 kann das erfindungsgemässe Gerät bedient werden. Die Plattform 3 ist mit der im Sockel 2 (in dessen von der Abdeckung 7 umgebenen Teil) befindlichen Antriebsvorrichtung beweglich verbunden, sodass die Plattform 3 durch die Antriebsvorrichtung kreisförmig oder elliptisch bewegt werden kann. Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich weist die Oberfläche der Plattform 3 einen geringeren Flächeninhalt als die Oberfläche der Grundplatte 1 auf. Der Benutzer kann sich somit während des Betriebs auch auf die Grundplatte 1 stellen und nur bestimmte Körperteile auf die Plattform 3 bringen und diese gezielt der BMS unterziehen. Auf der Plattform 3 befinden sich weiterhin Öffnungen 9. Durch diese Öffnungen können Seile oder Bänder für zusätzliche Übungen geführt werden.On a part of an oval base plate 1, an L-shaped base 2 is attached, whose shorter portion is surrounded by a cover 7. In one in this shorten section of the socket 2 located opening is the driving device for the Platform 3 arranged. In this example, this is a Excenterwelle, which causes the circular motion of the platform 3. At the end of the shorter portion of the L-shaped base 2 is additionally a Operating unit 8 for adjusting the device according to the invention. At the bottom of the base 2, two wheels 6 are mounted to facilitate easy transport of the To ensure device according to the invention. At the top of the longer one Section of the L-shaped base 2 is a handle 4, at which the User can hold during operation of the inventive device.
