Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of treatment and/or therapy of neuromuscular dysfunctions.
- the present invention relates to the field of the vestibular stimulations.
- the present invention relates to the field of exercises (training) to be executed by persons affected by neuromuscular dysfunctions and/or disabilities such as, for instance, persons or people with disabilities or handicaps, in particular children and/or infants.
- the present invention relates therefore to equipment and/or a facility and/or a device or tool adapted to allow to the subjects identified above to execute exercises or training suitable for the therapeutic treatment of neuromuscular dysfunctions, equilibrium and/or body balance, as well as for problems related to difficult or restrained walking or motion as well as to similar problems.
- the present invention relates to an equipment or facility or device adapted to tilt or swing like a pendulum and suitable to allow the exercises or training identified above to be executed.
- the exercises to be executed for therapeutic treatment of the above-identified problems may be executed in a simple and efficient manner.
- a person or people affected by neuromuscular dysfunctions or disabilities more or less serious or critical such as, for instance, persons with disabilities or handicapped or even affected by restricted or difficult body balance and/or motion, may enjoy benefits and/or advantages from the execution of specific exercises and/or training, directed to the therapeutic treatment of said problems.
- these subjects or people very often experience great difficulties in executing individually and autonomously the exercises or training which have been suggested to them; in some cases, it is even impossible for these persons or people to execute the prescribed exercises or training.
- the kind or nature of the problems these persons are affected by limits in fact their motion capabilities and therefore limits their autonomy and their capability or possibilities to execute in an appropriate manner the exercises or training indicated by the therapy.
- the present invention is based on the general consideration according to which very promising results in both the therapeutic treatments of the neuromuscular dysfunctions and in the field of vestibular stimulations can be obtained by means of exercising during which the person subjected to the therapeutic treatment (for instance persons or people with disabilities or handicapped or even with body balance and/or body motion problems, in particular children and infants) are subjected to a tilting and/or swinging movement similar to that of a pendulum and/or a child's swing.
- a further important consideration on which the present invention is based relates to the fact that the efficiency and/or effectiveness of such a tilting and/or swinging motion depends on the position assumed by the person during such a motion; in particular, the effectiveness may be improved if the person is somehow "suspended" from a tilting or swinging element rather than seated on or supported by same. Moreover, the effectiveness may even be further improved if the person will be suspended in a position in which the same person appears to be lying down, however not on a horizontal surface, but rather on a vertical plane or surface.
- the person to be treated will be suspended from a tilting swinging element in such a way that a longitudinal plane crossing the body of said person (and extending from the head to the feet of said person so as to ideally divide the person not into left and right parts comprising the left and right legs and arms of the person, respectively, but rather a frontal or forward portion comprising the face and groin and a rear portion comprising the back of the head and the glutates of said person) will be oriented substantially vertically or perpendicularly to the axis of rotation of the pendulum to which the same person will be suspended.
- a further consideration on which the present invention is based relates to the fact that the use of the equipment and/or facility according to the present invention can be rendered easily equipped or integrated with the equipment or facility with means adapted to simplify the positioning or fixation of the person subjected to the therapy of the tilting or swinging element of said equipment or facility.
- people without specific preparation or education in the field of therapeutic treatments for instance, the relatives or parents of a person with an handicap
- a further consideration on which the present invention is based relates to the fact that the equipment or facility according to the present invention can be used for the therapeutic treatment of different dysfunctions, in particular when said facility, device or tool is equipped with means adapted to allow for the modification or changing of the position of the person to be treated with respect to the tilting or swinging element, in particular as a function of the therapeutic treatments to be performed and/or of the exercises or training to be executed.
- a first embodiment of the present invention relates to equipment or a facility, device or tool for vestibular stimulation and/or for therapeutic treatment of neuromuscular dysfunctions, comprising a supporting structure and a tilting or swinging element rotatably fixed to said supporting structure in such a way that said tilting or swinging element is allowed to tilt and/or swing on a rotational axis substantially horizontal, said equipment or facility comprising furthermore holding and/or fixing means adapted to fix a person to said tilting or swinging element so that this person will appear to be lying on his own back or supine with respect to a surface or plane substantially perpendicular to said rotational axis.
- the present invention relates to equipment or a facility for vestibular stimulation and/or therapeutic treatment of neuromuscular dysfunctions comprising a holding or supporting element anchored or fixed to said tilting or swinging element, with said holding or supporting element defining a supporting or holding plane substantially perpendicular to said rotational axis, and wherein said fixing means are adapted to fix said person to said supporting element so that this person will appear to be lying on his own back or supine with respect to said supporting or holding plane.
- said supporting or holding element is rotatably fixed to said tilting or swinging element so as to be adapted to be fixed and locked to said tilting or swinging element in different and/or predefined positions.
- said tilting or swinging element comprises a first portion and a second portion, said second portion being rotatably fixed to said first portion, said second portion being, in particular, rotatable between a first position and a second position in which said holding or supporting plane of said holding or supporting element is oriented so as to be substantially parallel to a horizontal plane, so as to render it easy fixing said person to said supporting or holding element.
- FIG. 1 and 1bis the embodiments of the equipment according to the present invention depicted therein are identified by the reference numeral 100.
- Said equipment in the following also referred to as facility, device or tool
- Said supporting structure comprises, in particular, a main element 1 a extending substantially vertically from which two further elements or feet 1 b extend so as to obliquely slope toward the bottom, with said two further elements or feet 1 b being joined to each other by means of a base element 1 c lying on the bottom; said base element 1 c joins in particular, the end portions of the elements or feet 1 b opposite to the end portions of said elements or feet 1 b which are joined to the main element 1 a.
- the dimensions of the base element 1 c are such as to counterbalance or exert adequate resistance to the gravity force exerted by a person or user 14 fixed to the equipment or facility, thus avoiding the equipment or facility to turn or knock over.
- a tilting or swinging element 30 is fixed (suspended) to the supporting structure 1, said tilting or swinging element 30 being rotatably fixed to the supporting element 1 by means of a rotating pin or bolt 2.
- the tilting or swinging element 30 is therefore adapted to tilt and/or swing (see Figure 3 in this respect) and therefore to rotate on the longitudinal axis of symmetry 2a of the pin or bolt 2 which will be in the following also referred to as the rotating axis.
- the tilting or swinging element 30 will therefore move like a pendulum or child's swing on the plane of Figure 1 .
- the dimension and/or extension and/or amplitude of the oscillations can be modified according to the needs and/or circumstances, for instance pushing the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30, or even by means of electromechanical means or devices (for instance an electrical motor) adapted to act on the rotating pin or bolt 2 and/or on the tilting or swinging element 30.
- electromechanical means or devices for instance an electrical motor
- a supporting or holding element substantially flat 7 which defines a supporting or holding surface also flat 7a and oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to the rotational axis 2a.
- the supporting or holding surface 7a will be therefore substantially parallel to the plane of Figure 1 and will lie on a plane substantially vertical.
- Fixing means 11 such as, for instance, belts, braces or clamps are furthermore provided for the purpose of fixing a user (for instance a person affected by neuromuscular dysfunctions or with disabilities, a handicap or even with body balance or body motion problems, particularly a child or infant) to the supporting or holding element 7.
- said supporting or holding element 7 comprises a plate (for instance made of wood, metal, plastic or other similar rigid materials) fixed or applied to the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30.
- a plate for instance made of wood, metal, plastic or other similar rigid materials
- screws or bolts or the like or even hooks adapted to be engaged into corresponding seats or holes formed in the plate 7.
- one or more tips or shafts or the like it will be possible to use one or more tips or shafts or the like.
- the table 7 For the purpose of realizing and/or assembling the equipment according to the present invention, it will be sufficient for the table 7 to be fixed or applied to the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30 in a reliable and safe manner so as to avoid, particularly during the use of the equipment 100 the plate 7 getting accidentally disengaged or disconnected from the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30.
- locking orl fixing means 13 for instance screwed or threaded means
- locking orl fixing means 13 adapted to bring the surface of the blade 7 opposite to the supporting or holding surface 7a into contact or engagement with the surface 3s of the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30, opposite the surface 3f of said swinging or tilting element or pendulum 30, which is located in front of (so as to face toward) the supporting structure 1.
- said locking or fixing means may be completed by adding to the belts or laces 11 described above, supporting means extending from said supporting or holding surface 7a of the plate 7.
- additional supporting or holding means can, for instance, comprise cushions, protrusions, projections or protuberances 12 adapted to exert adequate resistance against the weight of the user 14 and/or to avoid accidental and/or inconvenient movements or dislocations, during use of the equipment 100, of legs, arms or body portions of the same user 14.
- cushions 12 are depicted between which the head of the user will be positioned for the purpose of holding the head of said user 14 in place, thus, contrasting the weight of the head and its eventual accidental and inconvenient movement or dislocation.
- said cushions or protrusions can be moved so as to be located and positioned in different positions so as to match the dimensions and/or the size of the user 14.
- the plate 7 has a shape substantially rectangular with a length I; the user 14 is moreover suspended to the plate 7 by means of the belts or laces 11 (and eventually, as stated above, by means of auxiliary cushions or protrusions or the like.
- a plane of symmetry 7I of the user 14 is now imagined, with said place of symmetry 71 dividing ideally the body of said user 14 into symmetric and substantially identical portions, with a first portion comprising the left leg and the left arm (in Fig.
- the position of the user 14 fixed to the holding or supporting table 7 as explained above will be referred to as a horizontal or supine position with respect to a vertical plane, thus meaning that those body portions of the user, which normally come into contact with a flat supporting surface oriented horizontally when the same user lies on its own back in a supine position (for instance the nape, the shoulders, the gluteus and the heels during sleeping) will be located on an ideal plane or surface substantially vertical.
- the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30 of the equipment 100 comprises two parts or portions, in particular, a first part or portion 3a and a second part or portion 5.
- the first part or portion 3a is rotatably fixed to the pin or bolt 2 as described above (and, therefore, in such a way that the tilting or swinging element of pendulum 30 is allowed to tilt and/or to swing on a plane perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1 ), while the second part or portion 5 is rotatably fixed to said first part or portion 3a.
- the second part or portion 5 may be rotated with respect to the first part or portion 3a as indicated by the arrow A in Figure 1ter and, therefore, between a first position (represented in Figure 1b , in which the top or frontal surface 5a of the part or portion 5 lies substantially on a vertical plane along with the surface 3s of the tilting or swinging element of pendulum 30) and a second position ( Figure 1 ter) in which the top or front surface 5a of the part or portion 5 results to be disposed substantially horizontal, so as to form or define an angle substantially of 90° with the surface 3s of the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30.
- rotating means comprising, for instance, one or more hinges disposed between the part or portion 3a and the part or portion 5.
- locking or fixing means 6 for instance threaded or screwing means
- locking or fixing means 6 are also provided for the purpose of fixing or locking the part or portion 5 with respect to the part or portion 3a alternatively in the positions depicted in Figure 1bis and Figure 1ter , respectively.
- the supporting or holding element or plate 7 is applied or fixed to the second part or portion 5 of the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30; it results, therefore, that by rotating the part or portion 5 with respect to the part or portion 3a of the pendulum 30 until the position depicted in Figure 1ter is reached (i.e. with the part or portion 5 being disposed substantially horizontally) also the supporting or holding element or plate 7 fixed to same will be oriented and/or disposed in a position substantially horizontal.
- the portion or part 5 of the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30 can be brought back to the position depicted in Figure 1bis in which, as clarified above, the supporting or holding surface 7a of the plate 7 will be oriented substantially vertically or perpendicularly to the rotational axis 2a.
- said part of portion 5 will be equipped with auxiliary means 9, such as for instance one or more handles or the like adapted to be used by a therapist or even a person requested to assist a user 14 during execution of the exercises or training, for the purpose of rotating the part or portion 5 between the position depicted in Figure 1bis and the position depicted in Figure 1 ter (thus, so as to win the gravitational force arising due to the weight of the part or portion 5 and of the part or portions applied or fixed to same (the plate 7)), as well as for bringing back the part or portion 5 into the position of Figure 1bis , and thus accompanying or guiding said part or portion 5 during its rotational motion due to the gravitational force.
- auxiliary means 9 such as for instance one or more handles or the like adapted to be used by a therapist or even a person requested to assist a user 14 during execution of the exercises or training
- Further support or holding means 10 are, moreover, provided for supporting or holding the part or portion 5 of the tilting or swinging element or pendulum 30, when said part or portion 5 is positioned horizontally as depicted in Figure 1ter ; said further supporting means are rotatably fixed to the end portion of the part or portion 5, on which also the handles 9 are fixed and/or located. Moreover, said additional supporting means are rotatably fixed to said part or portion 5 (for instance by means of hinges or the like); in Figure 1ter , the arrow B shows the direction of rotation of the additional supporting means 10 with respect to the part or portion 5 of the tilting or swinging element 30.
- said additional supporting means 10 can be rotated between a first position ( Figure 1ter ) in which said additional supporting means 10 are oriented perpendicularly to the part or portion 5, and a second position ( Figure 1bis ) in which said additional supporting means 10 are oriented substantially so as to be parallel to said part or portion 5.
- the possibility to rotate the additional supporting means 10 with respect to the part or portion 5 allow to locate said supporting means 10 in the space between the supporting structure 1 and the tilting or swinging element 30 when the part or portion 5 of said tilting or swinging element is positioned with respect to the part or portion 3a of the same tilting or swinging element or pendulum 3 as depicted in Figure 1bis .
- the additional supporting means 10 can, moreover, be equipped with anti-slipping means such as rubber cushions or the like fixed to the end portion of said additional supporting means or feet 10 and adapted to come into contact with the ground as depicted in Figure 1ter ; said rubber cushions will be, therefore fixed to the end portion of the supporting means or feet 10 opposite to the end portion of said supporting means or feet 10 rotatably fixed to the portion or part 5 of the tilting or swinging element 30.
- anti-slipping means such as rubber cushions or the like fixed to the end portion of said additional supporting means or feet 10 and adapted to come into contact with the ground as depicted in Figure 1ter ; said rubber cushions will be, therefore fixed to the end portion of the supporting means or feet 10 opposite to the end portion of said supporting means or feet 10 rotatably fixed to the portion or part 5 of the tilting or swinging element 30.
- FIG 3 wherein as usual features or component parts of the equipment according to the present invention already described above with reference to other Figures are identified by the same reference numerals, shows clearly the motion and/or movement of the tilting or swinging element 30 during use of said equipment, and therefore, the movements or motions, which the user or person executing therapeutic exercises or training will be subjected to, for instance, exercises or training suitable for vestibular simulations, when using said equipment. It arises in fact clearly from Figure 3 that during the execution of these exercises, the tilting or swinging element 30 will rotate on the rotational axis 2a of the pin or bolt 2, thus tilting or swinging as indicated by the arrow X in the plane of Figure 3 .
- Said electromechanical means will, therefore, further reduce the direct activity or intervention to be provided by tutors or therapists or the like and will allow selecting the extension, the amplitude, the frequency and the speed of the oscillations in a programmable and precise manner, for instance in the case of electromechanical means collected to an electric central unit or even to a small PC or computer on which several and different programs for corresponding several and different exercises have been loaded and saved.
- the use of the equipment 100 can be summarized as follows.
- the portion 5 of the tilting or swinging element 30 will be rotated from its position depicted in Figure 1bis to its position depicted in Figure 1ter (which can be therefore referred to as an approach or entrance position in which the user 14 can be easily fixed to the supporting or holding plate 7).
- an assistant or tutor of the user will first of all proceed with releasing or unclamping or unlocking the part or portion 5 from the part or portion 3a of the tilting or swinging element 30, so as to allow said part or portion 5 to rotate on the rotating fixing means (hinges or the like) 4.
- the same tutor or assistant will be able to help the user 14 become disposed on the plate 7; to this end, the same user can first sit down on the table 7 and subsequently dispose himself horizontally (so as to lie supine on his own back, thus facing towards the top). The user 14 will then be firmly fixed to the plate 7 by means of the belts or laces 11.
- the tutor will allow the part or portion 5 to rotate back in the direction indicated by the arrow A in Figure 1ter , thus, accompanying or guiding said part or portion 5 during its rotation, in particular acting on the handles or grips 9 until the part or portion 5 again reaches its position depicted in Figure 1bis .
- the locking or clamping means 6 it is possible to activate the locking or clamping means 6 to firmly lock or fix the part or portion 5 to the part or portion 3a of the tilting or swinging element 30.
- Both the equipment or facility 100 and the user or person 14 will, therefore, be ready for the execution of the exercises or training for therapeutic treatment and/or vestibular stimulations.
- the exercises or training will, therefore, be executed bringing (manually or by means of auxiliary electromechanical means) the tilting or swinging element 3 and, therefore, the user or person fixed to the equipment or facility 100, to tilt and/or to swing.
- the different positions and/or heights the user can reach during the execution of the exercises in particular the different positions or heights that the head of the user can reach during the tilting or swinging motion can be appreciated.
- the user will, therefore, have the feeling or sensation of being alternatively raised up and falling down toward the ground.
- the supporting or holding element or plate 7 can in fact be positioned with respect to the tilting or swinging element 3, either as depicted in Figures 1 to 3 , and therefore with the longitudinal axis of symmetry 30I of said tilting element 30 being oriented substantially perpendicularly to the direction along which the long side or edges and/or the overall length I of the rectangular plate 7 extends, or as depicted in Figures 4 and 5 , namely with the longitudinal axis of symmetry 30I of the tilting or swinging element 3 being oriented so as to be substantially parallel to the direction along which the long sides or edges, and therefore the overall length I of said plate 7, extend.
- the equipment according to the present invention allows the expected goals to be reached and the problems posed to be overcome.
- the equipment according to the present invention allows the execution of exercises or training which have been revealed to be particularly advantageous and convenient in the therapeutic treatment of neuromuscular dysfunctions as well as of exercises suitable for vestibular stimulation, offering substantial improvement to subjects or persons with disabilities, handicaps or even persons affected by problems related to body motion and/or body balance.
- the equipment according to the present invention allows, moreover, a drastic reduction or limitation of the assistance to be performed by tutors or similar people requested or expected to assist a user during use of said equipment.
- the equipment may moreover be activated both manually (for instance by a tutor or assistant) and by means of auxiliary means such as, for instance, electromechanical means.
- auxiliary means such as, for instance, electromechanical means.
- the approach of a user to the equipment as well as his fixation to said equipment are furthermore drastically and significantly simplified.
- the equipment has reduced dimensions and can be assembled and/or realized at reasonable (or even low) costs.
- the equipment is therefore suitable to be used by families or private persons, as well to be used and assembled in domestic premises and not only in specialized centers.
- the equipment according to the present invention may be assembled and installed both indoors and outdoors.
- the present invention has been clarified and explained by means of the above detailed description of its embodiments depicted in the drawings, the present invention is not at all limited to the embodiments described and depicted in the drawings. On the contrary, the present invention comprises all amendments and/or improvements which will appear to be clear to those skilled in the art. For instance, it will be possible to avoid the use of the supported structure 1 and fix the rotating pin or bolt not to the said supporting structure, but to another structure already at the disposal, for instance to the ceiling or to a beam. In the same way, it will be possible to substitute the supporting or holding plate 7 with a less cumbersome and lighter frame.
- the supporting plate 7 can be avoided completely using belts or laces adapted to maintain a user in the position described above, namely a position in which a user appears to be lying down on a vertical plane.
- the scope of the present invention is therefore defined by the claims.
