Description
TREATMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to treatment apparatus and to a method of correcting bad posture.
Many people spend a large part of each day with their spinal column inclined forwardly as a result of, for example, operating a keyboard. There are also many people who have spinal column problems of one sort or another.
US Patent Application Publication No. US 2003/0171197 relates to a treatment apparatus that comprises a flexible structure for supporting a human body and means for effecting controlled adjustment of the degree of curvature of the flexible structure. The flexible structure comprises a polycarbonate sheet attached to the top of a base frame. The ends of the sheet are pivotally connected to an actuation system driven by a motor under the control of a motor control system that provides for automatic or manual control of the arc of the flexible sheet.
The apparatus described in said US application is complicated to manufacture and is not readily transportable.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide an improved form of apparatus for use in the treatment of the human body particularly, but hot exclusively, for use in the treatment of spinal column problems.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide an improved method of correcting bad posture.
Summary of the Invention
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a treatment apparatus that comprises a flexible structure for supporting a human body and means for effecting controlled adjustment of the degree of curvature of the flexible structure, characterised in that the flexible structure comprises a plurality of parallel elongated strips formed of a flexible plastics material.
Each flexible plastic strip is preferably pivotally connected at its one end to a fixed base member and pivotally connected at its other end to a movable base member.
The fixed base member preferably includes a pair of spaced legs between which a first cylindrical bar is rotatably mounted, said one ends of the flexible plastic strips being fitted in slots in the first cylindrical bar.
The movable base member preferably includes a pair of end members on which wheels are mounted and a second cylindrical bar rotatably mounted between the end members, said other ends of the of the flexible plastic strips being fitted in slots in the second cylindrical bar.
In an alternative arrangement, both ends of the flexible plastic strips are connected to cylindrical bars rotatably mounted within movable ground-engaging base members.
The means for effecting controlled adjustment of the degree of curvature of the flexible structure is preferably a linear actuator or other motorised push/pull mechanism that extends between the cylindrical bars.
A mattress is preferably provided on top of the flexible plastic strips.
The flexible plastic strips may be made of a glass-fibre-reinforced plastics material with the strands of the glass fibres extending longitudinally. The plastic strips may alternatively be made of a plastics material reinforced by carbon fibres, with the reinforcement fibres again extending longitudinally.
There are typically between six and ten flexible plastic strips with the strips having a preferred length within the range of from to 200 cms. The flexible plastic strips may have a width of the order of 3 cms. and a thickness of the order of 0.75 cms.
Upwardly extending handgrips located midway between the ends of the flexible plastic strips may be provided.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of treatment that includes the use of the apparatus defined above.

Description of the Preferred Embodiments
The treatment apparatus shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings comprises a plurality of elongated plastic strips or battens formed of a glass-fibre-reinforced plastic material such as a glass-fibre-reinforced polyester resin. The glass fibres are oriented so that they extend longitudinally of the battens 10. There are typically between six and ten battens 10 and typical dimensions of a batten 10 are 170 cms. long, 3 cms. wide and 0.75 cms. thick.
The battens 10 could, alternatively, be formed of polyester resins reinforced with longitudinally extending carbon fibres.
One end of each batten 10 fits in a slot in a first cylindrical bar 11 that forms part of a fixed base member 12, the first bar 11 being rotatable relative to the other parts of the fixed base member 12. The other end of each batten 10 fits in a slot in a second cylindrical bar 13 that forms part of a movable base member 14, the second bar 13 being rotatable relative to the other parts of the movable base member 14.
As can be seen from Figure 2, the movable base member 14 includes a main body 15, at each end of which a ground-engaging wheel 16 is provided, and three upwardly extending holder formations 17 which include sockets in which the second cylindrical bar 13 is received. The second cylindrical bar 13 is disposed parallel to the first cylindrical bar 11 and, as described below, is movable towards and away from the first cylindrical bar 11.
A linear motor or other motorised actuator 18 is disposed beneath the battens 10 and includes first and second rods 19 and the free ends of which are connected to the first and second cylindrical bars 11 and 13 respectively. On operation of the actuator 18, the rods 19 and 20 will be either extended or retracted in a controlled manner and the bars 11 and 13 will be moved away from or towards each other. When the bars 11 and 13 are moved towards each other, the ends of the battens 10 are moved towards one another and the degree of curvature of the battens 10 is increased. When the bars 11 and 13 are moved away from each other, the ends of the battens 10 are moved away from each other and the battens 10 are moved towards a more linear condition.
A mattress 21 is disposed on top of the battens 10 and a pair of handgrips 22 project upwardly from the midpoints of the sides of the apparatus so that the user can take hold of them to facilitate getting onto the mattress 21 and to facilitate getting off the mattress 21.
Possible uses of the apparatus include use thereof as a therapeutic tool to decrease the thoracic kyphosis, to increase the lumbar lordosis, or to extend the hip joints. It may also be used to effect passive stretching of the anterior abdominal muscles and, in particular, stretching of the iliopsoas and anterior thigh muscles.
Further possible uses include traction of the spinal column, lung drainage and treatment of lumbar spine discopathy, ankylosing spondylitis and idiopathic juvenile hyperkyphosis.
The apparatus can also be used for passive expansion of the thoracic cage, in particular, for stretching of the sterno-costal elements, for post-coital positioning to increase the likelihood of fertilisation and as an enhancement of the sexual experience.
A particular important feature of the apparatus described above is its ability to effect passive stretching of the ilopsoas muscles which, it is generally accepted, play a major role in posture. The degree of convexity of the flexible support structure afforded by the battens 10 can be increased slowly over a period of time, not only during one treatment session but also over a number of treatment sessions spread over a number of weeks.
The apparatus shown in Figures 3 to 10 of the drawings is similar to that shown in Figures 1 and 2 and the same reference numerals are used to indicate parts of the apparatus shown in Figures 3 to 10 which are the same as the corresponding parts of the apparatus shown in Figures 1 and 2. The apparatus of Figures 3 to 10 differs from the apparatus of Figures 1 and 2 in respect of the design of the ground-engaging members 23 at the two ends of the battens 10.
As can be seen from the drawings, each ground-engaging member 23 includes a cylindrical bar 24 formed with a row of eight slots to receive the ends of the battens 10, end caps 25 that act as rollers and a central sleeve 26. The central sleeves 26 are connected to the ends of the rods 19 and 20 that are moved inwardly and outwardly on operation of the motorised actuator 18.
The handgrips 22 are pivotally mounted for movement between the two positions shown in Figure 3.
The possible methods of use of the apparatus shown in Figures 3 to 10 are as described above with reference to the apparatus shown in Figures 1 and 2.
