Description
Description La présente invention concerne un accessoire permettant d'obtenir par échographie la vision directe globale d'un sous-ensemble animé de l'appareil locomoteur humain et, une méthode d'autostimulation corticale dudit sous-ensemble locomoteur via les sens de la vue et du toucher. L'utilisation actuelle de l'échographie pour la kinésithérapie d'un sous-ensemble de l'appareil locomoteur se limite à la détection d'un traumatisme par un spécialiste radiologue, avec des échographes mono-fréquence, mono-couleur, peu de niveaux de gris, peu de pixels fournissant des images statiques, pointues, incompréhensibles par le patient, d'aucune utilité pour le kinésithérapeute qui doit adapter le traitement. Ce type d'images ne permet pas au patient de s'investir dans sa rééducation. Ce type d'images est inaccessible pour le patient. Le cliché échographique actuel ne permet pas l'interactivité du dialogue patient-kinésithérapeute. La pratique actuelle consiste à enduire la peau d'une fine couche de gel à but aérophobe et, à appliquer directement la tête de sonde sur le corps ce qui réduit sensiblement la surface et le volume de détection. En outre as ces têtes de sonde sont mono-faisceau, généralement. La pratique actuelle ne fournit pas une vision globale, directe, dynamique du sous-ensemble locomoteur. L'invention a donc plus particulièrement pour but de supprimer les insuffisances précitées : clichés d'échographie statiques, très pointus, ciblés, peu contrastés, monochromes, prévus pour le diagnostic radiologique et inadaptés aux besoins du kinésithérapeute et de son patient. Cet accessoire est constitué d'un bloc mono matière du type silicone. Ses trois dimensions, de l'ordre de 200x150x120 mm, sont déterminées en fonction de la surface et du volume du sous-ensemble à observer. La vulcanisation est effectuée à des degrés différents pour la couche externe et pour la 2s couche interne en contact avec la peau. La couche externe est semi-rigide pour remplir un rôle de support (1). La couche interne est souple, pour niveler les reliefs du sous-ensemble à observer (2). La masse volumique de la silicone utilisée est proche de celle de la peau pour limiter les écarts d'impédance. 3. La matière est évidée à partir de la surface externe pour façonner deux conduits qui ne débouchent pas à la surface interne. Le premier conduit (4), perpendiculaire à la surface interne, sert de support pour la sonde, ses dimensions sont ajustées à sa forme pour éviter la présence d'air à sa base. La hauteur résiduelle du fond est calculée en fonction de la surface de détection à couvrir et joue un V. rôle de rehausseur de tête de sonde (8). 'tS 3a 2943524 -2- Le deuxième conduit (5), formant un angle aigu avec le premier, sert à guider et maintenir l'extrémité du doigt du patient à la frange du champ des ultrasons pour apparaitre occasionnellement sur l'écran sans l'occulter. La hauteur résiduelle est faible et ajustée pour obtenir et localiser la sensation du toucher. Le diamètre du conduit est ajusté pour éviter la S présence d'air au bout du doigt. La surface en contact avec la peau est enduite d'un gel médical du commerce (3), pour servir d'agent glissant aérophobe. Le dessin annexé illustre l'invention : La figure n°1 est une vue d'ensemble de l'objet en silicone avec sa couche support supérieure (1), sa couche niveleuse inférieure(2), le gel glissant aérophobe (3), le conduit support et rehausseur de tête de sonde (4), le conduit guide du doigt de main pour le toucher (5), la tête de sonde (6), la peau (7), la hauteur résiduelle calculée du conduit pour la sonde (8). Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, l'accessoire pour échographe est découpé dans un laminé plat de matière élastomère de silicone, type PDMS, qui présente de bonnes propriétés élastiques par une faible vulcanisation de divers composants de la formulation. Le niveau de vulcanisation est différent pour la couche inférieure et pour la couche supérieure. Selon un mode particulier de réalisation les deux couches sont vulcanisées simultanément à partir d'un seul bloc de matière, selon un autre mode de réalisation, elles 20 sont vulcanisées séparément et soudées ensuite notamment par ultrasons. La couche inférieure (2) est suffisamment souple, élastique, pour absorber des reliefs d'amplitude de 1 à 2 cm sur une hauteur de 6 à 10 cm sous faible pression <10 g/cm2. Son épaisseur est au moins égale à 7 cm. La couche supérieure (1) est qualifiée de semi-rigide avec une élasticité de 10% environ. Son épaisseur est au moins égale à 5 cm. L'état de surface est lisse. Le premier conduit (4) est évidé selon les formes de la tête de sonde pour lui servir de support en la maintenant perpendiculaire à la surface à observer. La hauteur résiduelle du conduit, qui sert de rehausseur de sonde, est d'environ 7cm pour pouvoir couvrir environ 50 cm2 avec, par exemple, un quadruple faisceau de 20°, 45°, 60°, 45°. 2943524 -3- Le second conduit (5) est évidé selon une forme légèrement tronconique correspondant à la dimension moyenne d'un doigt de main. La section tronquée est d'environ 15-20 mm2, la hauteur résiduelle de 5mm environ. Ao -~S S Description: The present invention relates to an accessory that makes it possible to obtain, by ultrasound, the direct global vision of an animated subset of the human locomotor apparatus and, a method of cortical self-stimulation of said locomotor subset via the senses of sight and of touch. The current use of ultrasound for physiotherapy of a subset of the musculoskeletal system is limited to the detection of trauma by a specialist radiologist, with single-frequency, single-color ultrasound scanners, few levels gray, few pixels providing static images, sharp, incomprehensible by the patient, no use for the physiotherapist who must adapt the treatment. This type of image does not allow the patient to invest in his rehabilitation. This type of images is inaccessible to the patient. The current ultrasound image does not allow the interactivity of the patient-physiotherapist dialogue. The current practice is to coat the skin with a thin layer of aerophobic gel and to directly apply the probe head to the body which substantially reduces the surface and the detection volume. In addition, these probe heads are single-beam, generally. Current practice does not provide a global, direct, dynamic view of the locomotor subset. The invention therefore more particularly aims to eliminate the aforementioned shortcomings: static ultrasound ultrasound, very sharp, targeted, little contrast, monochrome, provided for the radiological diagnosis and unsuited to the needs of the physiotherapist and his patient. This accessory consists of a mono material block of the silicone type. Its three dimensions, of the order of 200x150x120 mm, are determined according to the surface and volume of the subset to be observed. The vulcanization is carried out to different degrees for the outer layer and for the inner layer 2s in contact with the skin. The outer layer is semi-rigid to fulfill a supporting role (1). The inner layer is flexible, to level the reliefs of the subassembly to be observed (2). The density of the silicone used is close to that of the skin to limit the impedance differences. 3. The material is recessed from the outer surface to form two ducts that do not open to the inner surface. The first conduit (4), perpendicular to the inner surface, serves as a support for the probe, its dimensions are adjusted to its shape to avoid the presence of air at its base. The residual height of the bottom is calculated as a function of the detection area to be covered and plays a role of V-head booster (8). The second conduit (5), forming an acute angle with the first, serves to guide and hold the end of the patient's finger to the fringe of the ultrasound field to occasionally appear on the screen without the 'obscure. The residual height is low and adjusted to obtain and locate the feeling of touch. The diameter of the duct is adjusted to avoid the presence of air at the end of the finger. The surface in contact with the skin is coated with a commercial medical gel (3) to act as an aerophobic slipper. The attached drawing illustrates the invention: FIG. 1 is an overall view of the silicone object with its upper support layer (1), its lower leveling layer (2), the aerophobic sliding gel (3), the support duct and probe head booster (4), the guide channel for the finger to touch it (5), the probe head (6), the skin (7), the calculated residual height of the duct for the probe (8). According to a particular embodiment, the ultrasound system accessory is cut in a flat laminate of silicone elastomeric material, PDMS type, which has good elastic properties by low vulcanization of various components of the formulation. The level of vulcanization is different for the lower layer and for the upper layer. According to a particular embodiment, the two layers are vulcanized simultaneously from a single block of material, according to another embodiment, they are vulcanized separately and then welded in particular by ultrasound. The lower layer (2) is sufficiently flexible, elastic, to absorb reliefs of amplitude of 1 to 2 cm over a height of 6 to 10 cm under low pressure <10 g / cm 2. Its thickness is at least 7 cm. The upper layer (1) is described as semi-rigid with an elasticity of about 10%. Its thickness is at least equal to 5 cm. The surface condition is smooth. The first conduit (4) is hollowed out according to the shapes of the probe head to serve as a support by keeping it perpendicular to the surface to be observed. The residual height of the conduit, which serves as a probe booster, is about 7 cm to cover about 50 cm 2 with, for example, a quadruple beam of 20 °, 45 °, 60 °, 45 °. The second duct (5) is recessed in a slightly frustoconical shape corresponding to the average size of a finger. The truncated section is about 15-20 mm2, the residual height about 5mm. Ao - ~ S S
