Description

DESCRIPTION

Field of technique

And note the existence of gymnastic / physiotherapeutic tools / instruments to perform tractions / extensions of the muscle / skeletal set of the spine, these tools are mostly expensive and / or bulky, many times even difficult to transport and usable by people who they need it more, like the elderly or people with back problems.

Known art:

The types of known tools are Tables 8/9;

• A system consists of one or more pulleys with a rope attached on one side a weight and on the other a handle or straps where the person can be attached, usually bulky tools that are difficult to transport, some are smaller systems ina need to be bound to the wall or to the wall, they also need a weight that causes traction, in some cases containers filled with water are proposed, which once water canchi have a weight that people with back symptoms cannot move and consequently they need the assistance of another person.

• Another system is the inversion or gravitational inversion bench, formed by a metal structure where the user, after climbing on top of it, leaning backwards, rotates the whole body, taking it upside down. These devices are very bulky, the unnatural position which also carries a lot of blood to the head. There are appliances with the same function but with the electric movement, they are even more bulky and expensive. This unnatural position has many contraindications and is therefore often discouraged.

• There are electrical / pneumatic / hydraulic devices which, with straps, block the user's pelvis and trunk and create traction in the back, also in this case they are very expensive and / or bulky devices.

• A tool called Nubax, the user positions himself on top, blocks the pelvis and unbalancing himself forward, he acts with his weight on a series of levers that put his back in traction, a fairly complex tool, which then remains quite bulky and cumbersome in furthermore, it is not possible to do a toning job on the back / lumbar and abdominal muscles.

• Another tool has a structure with a seat and a handlebar which as a whole is similar to a bike without pedals, in this case the user leaning back makes the seat tilt which moving away from the handlebar creates traction in the back, bulky device , heavy therefore not transportable.

Exhibition of the invention

The invention concerns a tool to make extensions of the muscoio / skeletal whole of the vertebral column and to tone the back / lumbar and abdominal muscles, which takes up little space, easily transportable, very light, anyone can use it in a simple way, yielding the benefits of tractions, and toning exercises for the back / lumbar and abdominal muscles.

This length-adjustable tool allows anyone to use it according to their anthropometric characteristics and their needs, allows the extension of the musculoskeletal system of the back and to tone the dorsal / lumbar and abdominal muscles, simply by exploiting the weight of our body thanks the force of gravity and the forces developed in relation to the angle of the levers de! our body, moreover, the contraction of the abdominal, back and lumbar muscles favors their toning.

Due to its modest size it can be carried and kept easily anywhere, in order to take advantage of the listed benefits, even more easily transportable is the removable version with quick couplings.

Use as a back extensor as shown in Table 6, from the initial position Fig. 1 it is sufficient to unbalance backwards Fig. 2,3,4 to put the spine in traction.

The use of the back / lumbar and abdominal muscles as a musculator / toning machine is just as simple as shown in Table 7:

• for the abdominal muscles, from the starting position Fig. 1 it is sufficient to lean slightly backwards and bend the back contracting the abdominals with the retroversion of the pelvis Fig.2;

- For the back / lumbar musculature, from the starting position Fig 1 it is sufficient to lean slightly backwards and mark the back by contracting the back / lumbar musculature with the anteversion of the pelvis Fig. 3.
