Abstract

Narrow modular support consisting of two distinct modules that can be joined using a self-gripping tape system, allowing the layout of the two modules to be arranged in relation to one another according to physical practice sought by the practitioner. The device is essentially proposed as a narrow support that can support the load of the practitioner and the layout of the modules remains adaptable to freely set the physical exercise performed, bringing a practice of physical training different than a floor mat or on the surface of the ground itself. The device is composed of a substantially parallelepiped hexahedron module and a second module generally in the form of a raised inclined plane that can be united with the first module by means of a self-gripping band system, and thus to provide a physical practice on narrow support allowing a better work in proprioception and balance, contrary to a practice on large support such as a carpet of ground.

Description

The narrow adjustable support is a tool intended for the practice of gymnastics, or any other practice judging its use relevant in particular in the context of a reeducation or any physical training.

The narrow modular support is composed of two modules, the arrangement of which is on top of each other is realized by means of a two-part self-gripping tape system, the narrow adjustable support is characterized in that one of the modules either hexahedron parallelepiped shape and the other module 10 is of narrow inclined plane in relief at a progressive inclination angle. The narrow adjustable support is characterized in that the greater part of the upper face of the module disposed on the ground supports one of the two parts of the self-gripping tape system, which is complementary to the second part located on a major part of the face. The bottom of the second module, the two-part Velcro tape system, thus allowing the two modules to be integral and to compose together the narrow adjustable support in order to practice the physical exercise on unstable narrow support. The arrangement, between them, of the arrangement of the two modules forming the narrow flexible support is made possible by a self-gripping tape system allowing one of the two modules to be fixed on the other, then to be easily removed and moved to re-parameterize the physical exercise performed, including adjusting the difficulty of achieving the instructions.

The second module has a self-gripping surface compatible with the upper surface of the first module so that the two modules can be easily fixed together and arranged at the discretion of the practitioner or supervisor. Thus the two modules, although distinct are complementary in the context of a physical training when performing exercises requiring their use. The independence between the two modules of the tool allows the latter to be flexible and to be arranged according to the desired effect by the practitioner or his supervisor in the context of a physical training. This physical training can, among other things, be part of an abdominodorsal sheathing work, a therapeutic functional reeducation, a physiotherapeutic treatment, the practice of soft gymnastics, a search for improvement. performance in the context of a training adapted to the high level of sports practice, work of balance, flexibility, proprioception, work of transfers of the body, and any other physical practice judging 20 relevant use of the narrow adjustable support. The latter is thus composed of a first module, characterized by a parallelepiped shape, in the manner of a beam or a hexahedron block, whose overall shape and the dimensions used can be adjustable to measure, according to demand and the biometrics of the practitioner. In a certain physical training sought, these dimensions could for example be of a greater length of one hundred and forty centimeters, a width of thirteen centimeters and a height of ten centimeters. This first module, in the case of a possible physical training sought by the practitioner or his supervisor, may optionally be used alone ie no self-gripping link with the second module. The second module is in the form of a narrow inclined plane in relief, with a gradual inclination angle on its upper face.

Its dimensions can be adjustable to measure, according to the demand and the biometry of the practitioner as well as according to the dimensions of the first module with which it will be complementary during a given physical training. In a certain physical training sought, these dimensions could for example be of a greater length of seventy-five centimeters, a width of thirteen centimeters and a height of fifteen centimeters at its edge of the highest inclined plane. The inclination could possibly be progressive from the twentieth centimeter of the greatest length, but could also start at a different abscissa. In the context of a notorious physical training, this second module could be placed on the first to offer for example an iliac support for exercises of winding and unwinding of the spine by iliac flexion and abdominal muscle recruitment. in the manner of an oscillation between seated and supine positions, but could also be used as an infra-sacral support, and ideally under the lower tip of the sacrum to initiate an iliac retroversion promoting the lumbar delordosis. This second module, arranged in most cases of physical training on the upper face of the first module, its inclined face forming the uppermost face of the tool, can therefore be removed, shifted along the length of the first module and arranged in different ways depending on the desired effect, especially on the difficulty required for personal needs. Once arranged according to the need and thanks to the self-gripping system making the two modules complementary, they will allow physical work such as gymnastics guided on a narrow tool allowing for example a work of proprioception and muscle strengthening more relevant only on a flat surface such as the floor of the practice room or a floor mat whose support surface is wider. The narrow modular support is characterized in that it is composed of a first parallelepiped module hexahedron whose dimensions used are adjustable to measure, according to the demand and biometry of the practitioner, with a length of between one hundred and two hundred centimeters and having for ideal length one hundred and forty centimeters, a width between five and thirty centimeters with an ideal of thirteen centimeters; and a second modulus of narrow inclined plane relief at inclination angle can be progressive from the beginning of its length or for example from the twentieth centimeter of its length, the dimensions of the largest length are between thirty and one hundred and twenty centimeters, with an ideal length of seventy-five centimeters, a width of at least five centimeters but not more than thirty centimeters, and with an ideal of thirteen centimeters which ideally corresponds to the width of the first module, a height at its edge the highest included in five and thirty centimeters and ideally fifteen centimeters. The inclination of the second module can be progressive from the twentieth centimeter of the greatest length of the module but can also start from a different abscissa on the same length. Whatever the width of the two modules forming the narrow flexible support, the latter should allow the practitioner physical maintenance following precise and biomechanically relevant instructions, on a sufficiently narrow support to require concentration and precision of the optimal gesture to meet the expectations of the exercise carried out. The posture and the alignment of the body on the tool, its proprioceptive balance, the maintenance of the spinal integrity, the respect of the instructions on unstable support, the control of the movements and their control, the precision of the gestures, are elements physical training that can be sought when using the tool. In the context of a fight against low back pain or as a preventive measure, the modular tool, in particular may be used by placing the second module on the first, so that the practitioner, lying supine, can rest its lower tip of the sacrum on the inclined face of the second module. It would thus allow, in the case of specific exercises including winding and unwinding of the vertebral column, work of proprioception and movement control. Thus, a movement in the caudal direction of the second module on the first without changing the position of the practitioner on the first module, allows in this exercise an increase in difficulty by increasing the range of motion. Conversely, the difficulty could be diminished by a displacement in the cephalic direction when, for example, a beginner practice. In a certain exercise especially used in a soft gymnastic work, the second module can be placed on the first one by means of the self-gripping system in order to make the two modules integral with each other and so as to place the second module in the back. the practitioner, the latter keeping the feet in contact with the first module and miming winding and unwinding exercises of the spine by working its perception of the progressive contact with the inclined plane of the second module.

The narrow flexible support is a new equipment of gymnastics and physical maintenance which, whatever the frame of its use as reeducative or educational, is presented as a narrow support allowing to work various therapeutic principles or preventive as the control of the movement and the search for better proprioception, in an innovative way to know more relevantly than on a floor mat. The narrow modular support will consist of 10 materials conducive to physical exercise by supporting the load of the practitioner while respecting skin contact with the latter. It may be composed of polyethylene foam, or other rubber derivatives, of different types of foams or synthetic compounds, regardless of the type and parameterization of the cells composing it. According to Figure 1, the narrow adjustable support B is composed of two separate modules X and Y fixed on one another and arranged according to the wishes of the practitioner by means of a self-gripping tape system with a portion P2 located 20 on the lower face of the second module Y can be attached to the second part P1 located on the upper face of the first module X. According to Figure 2, the first main module X, hexahedron of overall parallelepiped shape, present on a major 25 part of its upper face one of the two complementary parts of the self-gripping tape system P1, the other part of which is on a major part of the lower face of the second module Y. According to Figure 3, the second module Y, inclined plane narrow angle of inclination changing for example from the twentieth centimeter of its greatest length, has on its underside one of the two complementary parts of the tape system aut hook-and-loop P2. The narrow adjustable support is referred to as "B" in the figures, it represents the narrow modular support as a whole comprising the two distinct modules X and Y, the first being disposed on the ground in most of the exercises and the second of overall shape of narrow inclined plane with gradual inclination angle can be arranged on the first by means of a self-gripping band system in two complementary parts, each located on one of the two modules. Thus, the two modules each have a narrow form allowing a practice of physical exercise and gymnastics on a narrow and unstable support, differentiating it from a practice on a larger conventional support such as a floor mat which allows an optimization of the work of the balance and the proprioception during the physical practice. The first part of the self-gripping tape system, named Pl, is located on most of the upper face of the first module X, and the second complementary part named P2 is located on most of the lower face of the second module Y .
