Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fitness and therapy mat for standing and walking according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the conventional mats are provided with a protective cover.
- This protective cover also influences a larger area around the imprint area. The effect corresponds to that of an air-filled cushion. The laterally acting forces are dissipated through the protective cover, resulting in a so-called "buffing effect.”
- the choice of the foam materials described above and the protective plastic and foam core construction which are firmly joined together will provide the desired
- the prior art mats are popular, because they can be used in many ways, for example, in water, but they can not meet the requirements of the physiologically desired instability effect.
- the present invention now has the task of improving the fitness and therapy mat by using a made of open-cell material and specially tailored for this application plastic foam such that allows for the person to be treated close to the spring ideal spring-back effect maximum instability of the device.
- Fig. 1 Compression curve of a mat with closed cells
- FIG. 5 compression during 10 cycles of an open cell mat.
- FIG. 6 Remaining% deformation of a mat with open cells during 10 cycles
- the figures show the measurement results of the comparative measurements between open-cell and closed-cell mats. They can be found in Test Report No. 444 '254 of 27.11.2006 of the Federal Materials Testing and Research Institute.
- the spring-back effect of the fitness and therapy mat presented in claim 1 will be less progressive and almost proportional with light load.
- the absence of a shell which is firmly connected to the soft, resilient core reduces the transmission of horizontal forces, which are transmitted in conventional, commercial mats with tough, tear-resistant protective covers.
- the open-cell construction of the foam which is achieved through the use of the particular material, demonstrably minimizes the transmission of horizontal forces.
- the open-cell structure on the tread and side surface is also obtained externally by cutting the mats neatly so that the open cell structure allows the air exchange from the inside to the outside.
- the spring effect should only be achieved by the cell structure. Air pockets, which would bring the effect of air compression, are avoided. Only on the ground-facing side, if necessary, a film is glued to make the mat non-slip.
- a flexible polyurethane foam is used for the presented fitness and therapy mat, which in the essentially made of polyols and diisocyanates.
- the presented fitness and therapy mat for standing and walking should encourage sitting people to stand and awaken their enthusiasm for movement.
- the standing concept can positively influence the condition of the exerciser without great effort, because it has a targeted effect on the deep-lying muscle layers.
- this mat is an ideal training device because the unstable surface forces a healthy foot movement and posture.
- the foot muscles are constantly challenged to maintain the balance of the body.
- Sensory information about the nervous system is transmitted to the brain via the sole of the foot. From there, activity-stimulating impulses for the entire core musculature continue. This is how the unconscious becomes lower-lying muscles of the foot, leg to back trained and strengthened. Pain subsides quickly - the well-being grows.
- "Proprioception” self-perception of the body, see “Excursus” is the key to success here.
- the muscles are hypotrophic Minor everyday stresses that exceed the current load capacity of a hypotrophic muscle lead to typical reactions, such as increased muscle tone Lack of movement stimuli can ultimately lead to a restructuring of the supporting tissue (cartilage, bone) and lead to muscular dysbalances.
- the presented fitness and therapy mat for standing and walking causes:
- the presented mat offers the user
- Exercises can be done with and without music, at work, at home, ironing, making phone calls - wherever you are in a fixed location
- the presented mat is available in different thicknesses, from 1.5 to 10cm thickness.
- the rule is: The thicker the mat, the more unstable the movements will be.
- the length can be up to 5m.
- a washable cover is used.
- PNF Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation - in short
- the fitness and therapy mat has a similar effect principle as the "Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation - in short (PNF) called - has established itself as a tried and tested in the medical and physiotherapy.
- PNF is a neurophysiological treatment method. She was from 1946 to 1951 at the Kaiser Foundation Center in Vallejo / California by the neurophysiologist Dr. med. Herman Kabat and the physical therapist Margaret Knott are developing, based on neurophysiological principles, the. et al by the British neurophysiologist Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952).
- the basic principle of PNF treatment is based on the observation that "every human being has latent
- the patterns of movement are shown in the holding (static) and movement (dynamic) functions of our body. Usually, they are less noticeable to the untrained eye, although they are always present with normal motor skills. They run three-dimensionally and diagonally because the muscles are spiraled. With defined patterns of movement and certain techniques is thus worked therapeutically. This leads to an increased reaction in the muscles, eg an increased muscle contraction or relaxation.
- Important in the PNF is the summation of stimuli, be it exteroceptive (tactile, visual, acoustic) or proprioceptive (via muscle, joint and tendon receptors), in order to achieve as comprehensive a result as possible.
- the kybun is limited to proprioceptive stimuli. Goals of the PNF application are:
- the method for the presented fitness and therapy mat for standing and walking aims at:
- a change of attitude also causes a behavior change.
- the muscles are in an optimal working position. All structures receive an optimal formation stimulus (bone-to-pressure ratio).
- the mat is ideal as a supportive-complementary therapy, especially in people with obesity, lack of exercise or problems in the areas of the back, hips, joints and veins.
- people not only rediscover the desire to exercise - with special, moderate exercises muscles, tendons and ligaments are loosened, the joints are spared, the metabolism stimulated and the cardiovascular system gets going.
- the movements on unstable Underground the deep, stabilizing muscles are intensively trained, which significantly improves body coordination.
- the gentle movements release all muscle tension, promote lymphatic circulation, stimulate digestion and prevent osteoporosis. Pain in the neck, shoulder, back, hips, thighs, knees, calves, or ankles will most likely stop or at least be alleviated.
- toxins can be better removed from the body and inflammations decay faster. The performance increases and stress symptoms disappear.
- test samples were placed between two parallel plates and loaded at a constant speed to a maximum value and relieved again. This cycle was repeated a total of 10 times. The loading force and position of the plates were recorded during the study. For these tests, test samples having a base area of 100 ⁇ 100 mm were cut out.
- Testing equipment Zwick universal testing machine for tensile and compression tests (SOP 02 '022).
- FIG. 1 shows the results of a closed cell mat
- Fig. 2 shows the results of an open cell mat.
