Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Entspannung der Körpermuskulatur, insbesondere der Rücken- und Nackenmuskulatur.The invention relates to a device for relaxing the body muscles, in particular the back and neck muscles.

Derartige Vorrichtungen sind dem Gebiet der Physiotherapie zuzuordnen.Such devices are to be assigned to the field of physiotherapy.

Es ist bekannt, daß es

  • durch überwiegend sitzende Tätigkeit, sowie
  • bei ständig nach vorne gerichteter Körperhaltung, wie sie vielfach im beruflichen Alltag vorkommt oder
  • unter Einfluß von körperlichem oder geistigem Stress
zur Belastung und infolgedessen Verkrampfung der tiefliegenden Bauchmuskulatur kommen kann.It is known that it
  • by predominantly sedentary activity, as well
  • in constantly forward facing posture, as it often occurs in everyday professional life or
  • under the influence of physical or mental stress
can come to stress and as a result cramping of the deep abdominal muscles.

Aus der US 2007/0270727 A1 sind eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Ausüben von kontinuierlichem Druck auf verschiedene Körperregionen bekannt. Dieser Druck wird seitens eines Therapeuten mittels der Vorrichtung auf den Körper des Patienten ausgeübt.From the US 2007/0270727 A1 For example, an apparatus and method for applying continuous pressure to various body regions is known. This pressure is exerted by a therapist by means of the device on the body of the patient.

Die US 5,616,109 A beschreibt eine Bodybuilding-Vorrichtung mit einem Hebel zum Training der Armmuskeln und zum Fettabbau im Bauchmuskelbereich.The US 5,616,109 A describes a bodybuilding device with a lever for training the arm muscles and fat loss in the abdominal area.

Aus der US 6,485,400 B1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Trainieren der Rücken und Bauchmuskulatur bekannt, die aus einem länglichen Holm und mindestens zwei beabstandeten Vorrichtungen zum Übertragen von Kräften zwischen dem Holm und dem Körper des Benutzers besteht.From the US Pat. No. 6,485,400 B1 There is known a back and abdominal muscle exercising apparatus comprising an elongate spar and at least two spaced-apart devices for transmitting forces between the spar and the body of the user.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung liegt darin, eine Vorrichtung zum Lösen und Lockern der Körpermuskulatur, insbesondere der Rücken- und Nackenmuskulatur, zu schaffen.The object of the invention is to provide a device for loosening and loosening the body muscles, in particular the back and neck muscles.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Vorrichtung ein Fußteil zum Blockieren der Vorrichtung mit den Beinen des Benutzers umfaßt, das T-förmig ausgebildet ist und aus zwei Schenkeln zum Legen unter die Kniekehlen des Benutzers und einem Mittelteil besteht, welches zur Verbindung über eine Verbindungsstange mit einem Applikator dient, welcher zur Druckausübung auf die Innenseite des Beckenknochens ausgebildet ist, wobei das Mittelteil, die Verbindungsstange und der Applikator ein U bilden, dessen einer Schenkel, der Mittelteil, sich in der Anwendungsstellung der Vorrichtung vom Fußteil nach oben erstreckt, dann unter Einschluß eines in etwa rechten Winkels in die Verbindungsstange übergeht, an die sich der wiederum in etwa rechtwinklig nach unten gerichtet (zum Becken des Benutzers hin) der Applikator anschließt, und daß eine Griffstange zur Druckausübung auf den Applikator vorgesehen ist.This object is achieved in that the device comprises a foot for blocking the device with the legs of the user, which is T-shaped and consists of two legs for laying under the knees of the user and a central part, which is for connection via a Connecting rod with an applicator, which is designed to apply pressure to the inside of the pelvic bone, wherein the central part, the connecting rod and the applicator form a U, one leg, the central part, extending in the application position of the device from the foot up, then merges with the inclusion of an approximately right angle in the connecting rod, which in turn is directed approximately at right angles downwards (towards the user's pelvis) the applicator followed, and that a handle bar is provided for applying pressure to the applicator.

Die Vorrichtung wird von dem Benutzer selbst in liegender Stellung angewandt. Das Fußteil der Vorrichtung dient lediglich der Fixierung und wird unter die Kniekehlen bzw. die Oberschenkel gelegt.The device is applied by the user himself in a lying position. The foot of the device is only for fixation and is placed under the knees and thighs.

Nun wird der Applikator an der Innenseite des Beckenknochens angelegt und durch das Gewicht der an der Griffstange angreifenden Arme bei gleichzeitigem regelmäßigen Atmen ein leichter Druck auf die Innenseite des Beckenknochens ausgeübt. Hierdurch werden Verkrampfungen der Psoas-Muskulatur gelöst. Die Psoas-Muskulatur bildet das Bindeglied zwischen Oberkörper und Becken und hat somit den wichtigesten Einfluß auf die Körperhaltung. Sie setzt an TH12 bis L4 an und ist größtenteils von der Bauchmuskulatur verdeckt, so daß sie nur schwer zu erreichen ist. Lediglich im Bereich des Beckenknochens läßt sich die Psoas-Muskulatur ertasten. Der an L5 ansetzende Iliacus verbindet sich im Beckenbereich mit dem Psoasmuskel und Bildung des Iliopsoas. Durch die Druckausübung auf die Innenseite des Beckenbodens lassen sich somit Verkrampfungen der Psoas-Muskulatur lösen. Die unter die Beine gelegte Vorrichtung, deren Applikator im Bereich des Beckenbodens aufliegt, wirkt wie ein Hebel und durch Verlagern der Arme entlang der Griffstange kann entsprechend dem Hebelgesetz der ausgeübte Druck erhöht oder reduziert werden.Now, the applicator is applied to the inside of the pelvic bone and a slight pressure on the inside of the pelvic bone exercised by the weight of the attacking on the handlebar arms with simultaneous regular breathing. As a result, spasms of the psoas muscles are released. The psoas musculature forms the link between upper body and pelvis and thus has the most important influence on posture. It starts at TH12 to L4 and is mostly obscured by the abdominal muscles, making them difficult to reach. Only in the area of the pelvic bone can the psoas musculature be felt. The Iliacus attaching to L5 connects with the psoas muscle in the pelvic area and the formation of iliosoplasms. By applying pressure to the inside of the pelvic floor, it is thus possible to release cramps in the psoas musculature. The placed under the legs device whose applicator rests in the region of the pelvic floor, acts like a lever and by displacing the arms along the handle bar can be increased or reduced in accordance with the law of leverage the pressure exerted.

Vorteilhaft ist hierbei insbesondere, daß der Benutzer der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung selbst den Ort der Druckausübung und die Stärke des ausgeübten Drucks je nach den vorliegenden Beschwerden selbst bestimmen kann. Wenn der Benutzer eine Besserung an einer Stelle empfindet, rückt er den Applikator an die nächste Stelle. Zu Beginn wird die Übung nicht mehr als 10 Minuten am Tag durchgeführt, später kann je nach Befinden die Behandlungsdauer verlängert werden.In this case, it is particularly advantageous that the user of the device according to the invention himself can determine the location of the pressure exerted and the strength of the pressure exerted depending on the present symptoms. When the user feels better at one point, he moves the applicator to the next position. At the beginning the exercise is not performed more than 10 minutes a day, later depending on the condition the duration of treatment can be extended.

Mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung können Krankheitsbilder wie Lumbago (Hexenschuß), Ichialgie, anhaltend starke Nackenschmerzen und Bandscheibenvorfall bekämpft werden.By means of the device according to the invention diseases such as lumbago (lumbago), Ichialgie, persistent strong neck pain and herniated disc can be combated.

Die beiden Schenkel des T werden unter die Kniekehlen gelegt und der Mittelteil des T dient zur Verbindung des Fußteils über die Verbindungsstange mit dem Applikator. Der Mittelteil, die Verbindungsstange und der Applikator bilden ein U, dessen einer Schenkel, der Mittelteil des Fußteils, sich in der Anwendungsstellung der Vorrichtung vom Fußteil nach oben erstreckt, dann unter Einschluß eines in etwa rechten Winkels in die Verbindungsstange übergeht, an die sich der wiederum in etwa rechtwinklig nach unten gerichtet (zum Becken des Benutzers hin) der Applikator anschließt. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, das Fußteil anderweitig auszugestalten, beispielsweise mit Laschen, die um die Beine des Benutzers gelegt und mit Klettverschlüssen gesichert werden. Wichtig ist nur, daß die Vorrichtung um das Fußteil schwenkbar ist.The two legs of the T are placed under the knees and the middle part of the T is used to connect the foot part via the connecting rod with the applicator. The central part, the connecting rod and the applicator form a U, one leg, the central part of the foot, extending in the application position of the device from the foot up, then merges with the inclusion of an approximately right angle in the connecting rod, to which the in turn directed approximately at right angles down (toward the user's pelvis) the applicator connects. Of course, it is also possible to otherwise design the foot part, for example, with tabs, which are placed around the legs of the user and secured with Velcro. It is only important that the device is pivotable about the foot part.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß der Applikator als im Wesentlichen zylindrisches Element ausgebildet ist.According to the invention, it is provided that the applicator is designed as a substantially cylindrical element.

Die auf den Körper des Benutzers wirkende Fläche des Applikators zwischen ca. 1 und 5 cm2, vorzugsweise zwischen 2 und 4 cm2 beträgt.The area of the applicator acting on the body of the user is between approximately 1 and 5 cm 2 , preferably between 2 and 4 cm 2 .

Weiterhin ist es zur Erfindung gehörig, daß sich die Griffstange in Benutzungsstellung schräg nach oben von dem Applikator weg erstreckt.Furthermore, it is part of the invention that extends the handle bar in the use position obliquely upwards away from the applicator.

Durch diese schräge Anordnung wird sichergestellt, daß der Benutzer bequem über das Gewicht seiner an der Griffstange angreifenden Arme einen leichten Druck auf den Applikator ausüben kann.This oblique arrangement ensures that the user can easily exert slight pressure on the applicator via the weight of his arms engaging the handlebar.

Es ist vorteilhaft, daß im Bereich der Griffstange eine Sollbruchstelle vorgesehen ist.It is advantageous that in the region of the handle bar a predetermined breaking point is provided.

Diese Sollbruchstelle dient dazu, einen zu hohen Druck auf den Applikator zu verhindern.This predetermined breaking point serves to prevent excessive pressure on the applicator.

Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß im Bereich des Applikators ein Magnet angeordnet ist.A preferred embodiment of the invention is that a magnet is arranged in the region of the applicator.

Das Magnetfeld dieses Magneten beschleunigt das Lockern und Lösen der Muskulatur an der behandelten Körperstelle.The magnetic field of this magnet accelerates the loosening and loosening of the muscles at the treated body site.

Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to drawings.
