Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif manipulateur pour la kinésithérapie. Elle concerne plus particulièrement, quoique non exclusivement, un dispositif susceptible d'être utilisé,non seulement par un kinésithérapeute pratiquant son art sur un patient, mais également par le patient lui-même lorsqu'il est seul. The present invention relates to a manipulator device for physiotherapy. It relates more particularly, although not exclusively, to a device capable of being used, not only by a physiotherapist practicing his art on a patient, but also by the patient himself when he is alone.
On sait que certaines douleurs apparaissent dans des zones du corps humain où le traitement consiste à exercer sur ces zones une pression mécanique très localisée. La durée d'application de la pression intervient également dans le traitement. We know that certain pains appear in areas of the human body where the treatment consists in exerting on these areas a very localized mechanical pressure. The duration of pressure application is also involved in the treatment.
Habituellement, le kinésithérapeute applique avec ses doigts la pression nécessaire si bien que le patient doit se déplacer et venir consulter à chaque fois qu'il ressent la douleur en question. Usually, the physiotherapist applies the necessary pressure with his fingers so that the patient must move and come to consult each time he experiences the pain in question.
La présente invention a pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients en réalisant un dispositif manipulateur qui soit facile à utiliser par le kinésithérapeute et qui, bien mieux, puisse être utilisé par le patient lui-même, à son propre domicile. The present invention aims to avoid these drawbacks by providing a manipulator device which is easy to use by the physiotherapist and which, much better, can be used by the patient himself, at his own home.
L'invention se fonde en effet sur la constatation que chaque patient arrive rapidement à se connaître et à repérer sur son propre corps la ou les zones à comprimer pour soulager la douleur dont il est affligé. The invention is in fact based on the observation that each patient quickly gets to know himself and to identify on his own body the area or areas to be compressed to relieve the pain which afflicts him.
Un dispositif manipulateur selon l'invention comprend une semelle d'appui et il est caractérisé en ce que cette semelle est surmontée par un doigt dont le sommet se termine par une extrémité arrondie. A manipulator device according to the invention comprises a support sole and it is characterized in that this sole is surmounted by a finger whose apex ends in a rounded end.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la semelle et le doigt sont réalisés d'une pièce en matière moulée. According to another characteristic of the invention, the sole and the finger are made in one piece from molded material.
Le procédé selon l'invention pour utiliser un dispositif du genre précité, est caractérisé en ce qu'après avoir posé la semelle du dispositif sur le sol ou sur tout autre support, l'utilisateur appuie la zone douloureuse de son corps sur le sommet arrondi du doigt. En particulier si la zone à comprimer se trouve sur le tronc, par exemple dans le dos du patient, celui-ci peut simplement se coucher sur le dispositif, ou partiellement à côté, si bien que le poids du corps exerce localement la pression voulue, et ceci aussi longtemps que cela est nécessaire. The method according to the invention for using a device of the aforementioned kind, is characterized in that after having placed the sole of the device on the ground or on any other support, the user presses the painful area of his body on the rounded top on point. In particular if the area to be compressed is on the trunk, for example in the back of the patient, the patient can simply lie on the device, or partially beside it, so that the weight of the body locally exerts the desired pressure, and this as long as it is necessary.
Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer. The appended drawing, given by way of nonlimiting example, will allow a better understanding of the invention and the advantages which it is likely to provide.
Figure 1 est une vue en élévation d'un dispositif selon l'invention. Figure 1 is an elevational view of a device according to the invention.
Figure 2 en est une vue en perspective. Figure 2 is a perspective view.
Figure 3 montre le procédé d'utilisation pour traiter une douleur dorsale. Figure 3 shows the method of use to treat back pain.
Figure 4 montre le traitement d'une douleur située sous la plante d'un pied. Figure 4 shows the treatment of pain located under the sole of a foot.
Le dispositif manipulateur 1 selon l'invention est réalisé d'une pièce en matière moulée. Il comprend une semelle circulaire 2 surmontée en son centre par un doigt 3 dont le sommet est constitué par une extrémité arrondie 4. The manipulator device 1 according to the invention is made in one piece from molded material. It comprises a circular sole 2 surmounted in its center by a finger 3, the top of which is constituted by a rounded end 4.
Lorsqu'une utilisatrice 5 souffre d'une douleur à la colonne vertébrale (Figure 3), il lui suffit de s'allonger sur le dispositif 1 préalablement posé au sol. D'elle-même, elle place la zone douloureuse au contact de l'extrémité arrondie 4, si bien que le poids de son corps exerce automatiquement sur la zone douloureuse, la pression apparaissant au contact de cette extrémité arrondie 4. L'utilisatrice reste à cette position jusqu'à ressentir la disparition desa douleur. When a user 5 suffers from pain in the spine (FIG. 3), they just have to lie down on the device 1 previously placed on the ground. By itself, it places the painful area in contact with the rounded end 4, so that the weight of its body automatically exerts on the painful area, the pressure appearing in contact with this rounded end 4. The user remains in this position until you feel the pain disappear.
On a illustré sur la figure 4 le procédé d'utilisation pour traiter une douleur localisée sous la voûte plantaire d'un pied 6. Ici encore, il suffit à l'utilisateur de poser le dispositif 1 au sol, et d'appuyer la zone douloureuse de son pied 6 sur l'extrémité arrondie 4. The method of use for treating pain located under the arch of a foot 6 has been illustrated in FIG. 4. Here again, the user need only place the device 1 on the ground, and press the area painful foot 6 on the rounded end 4.
Bien entendu, on ne quitterait pas le cadre de l'invention en appliquant le dispositif ci-dessus en une quelconque zone douloureuse du corps. Of course, it would not depart from the scope of the invention by applying the above device to any painful area of the body.
