DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a low back pain treatment / correction device used for treatment of low back pain such as stiff back and correction of vertebrae.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, treatment of low back pain (for example, stiff waist etc.) basically involves correction of vertebrae (such as distortion) and balance of muscles in the lower back (muscles on both sides of the lower back). To improve). Massage is used as a method for this purpose. In other words, the patient is laid face down on the bed, and the waist portion is subjected to acupressure, etc., thereby improving the vertebrae and improving the balance of the muscles in the waist portion. Although this treatment method by massage produces a certain effect on lower back pain, there is a problem that the effect varies greatly depending on the experience and skills of the massager.

Therefore, the following method has been considered as a method for always obtaining a certain effect. First, the patient is laid on his / her back on a bed, a band is wrapped around the waist of the patient, and a substantially central portion of the band is taken out above the crotch of the patient. Thereafter, the patient's waist and buttocks are lifted several centimeters above the bed by lifting one end of the band at a high position above.

In this state, first, a nurse located in the vicinity of the bed shakes the patient's buttocks in the lateral direction with respect to the patient's spine, and performs a number of lateral swinging movements on the hips and buttocks. Give times. And keep the buttocks suspended for about 10 minutes without swinging the patient's buttocks,
Return the swollen buttocks to their original position (ie, on the bed). This treatment is repeated once a day to treat low back pain.

[0005] This method can always expect a certain effect irrespective of experience, skill, etc., as compared with massage, but since the band is lifted almost at the center of the band directly above the crotch, the weight of the patient can be reduced. In order to cover the band, a large (durable) hanging frame and column must be prepared, and the work of installing the frame and column is complicated, and the inclination of the patient's weight etc. There was a drawback that it caused an accident.

[0006] In addition, the lateral swinging of the patient's swollen buttocks by the nurse's hand is a heavy labor because the patient's weight is directly applied to the lifted part, and the nurse's work becomes difficult. There was a problem that the burden was further increased.

It is an object of the present invention to solve these problems and to provide a low back pain treatment / correction device which can reliably treat a patient suffering from low back pain with a certain effect. .

[0008]

That is, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a bed for providing a patient with a backache and a bed connected to or integrally with the bed as described in claim 1. A footrest that moves up and down with the patient's foot mounted thereon, and a mounting body connected to the footrest and attached to the patient's waist or / and buttocks. The placement section is provided with a swinging means for swinging in a direction intersecting with the spine of the patient.

Specifically, the rocking by the rocking means is the same rocking as hanging the patient from above.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bed for providing a patient with low back pain and a footrest connected or integrated with the bed and moving up and down with the patient's foot placed thereon. Pedestal, connected to the foot rest, and the patient's waist,
And / or a body to be attached to the buttocks, and the foot rest or the bed has a patient's waist or / and
And a swing unit for swinging the buttocks upward, the swing unit for swinging the suspended mounting body in a direction intersecting the spine of the patient. Is provided.

[0011]

In the back pain treatment / correction apparatus, first, a patient suffering from low back pain is laid on his / her back on a bed, and the wearing body is attached to the patient's lower back or buttocks. Thereafter, the foot rest is moved upward until the patient's feet are substantially perpendicular (the head and buttocks of the patient are on the bed) with the feet resting on the foot rest. The patient places the upper body on the bed and the legs are lifted upward with flexion (ie,
The head side and the buttocks side are provided on the bed).

Simultaneously with or after the foot rest is raised, the patient's buttocks are lifted from the bed with a body attached to the patient's waist or buttocks, and provided on the foot rest. By swinging the mounting body in a direction crossing the patient's spine (i.e., in the lateral direction) by the swinging means provided, the patient's vertebrae are corrected and the muscles in the lower back are stimulated, so that the patient has lower back pain. Can be cured.

Further, when the patient is swung, the same swinging effect as when the patient is hung from above can be given, so that the patient can efficiently cross the patient's spine with a compact structure. Rocking can be given.

[0014] Alternatively, the patient can be provided with an upper body on the bed by moving the foot rest upward while suspending the body of the patient by the foot rest or the suspension provided on the bed. Is lifted upward in a bent state, and the buttocks of the patient are lifted from the bed. Thereafter, by swinging the mounting body in a direction crossing the patient's spine by the swinging means provided on the suspension portion, it is also possible to correct the patient's vertebrae and improve the balance of the muscles of the waist. It is possible.

As described above, treatment and correction of low back pain of a patient can be easily performed with a certain effect.

[0016]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, a device main body 1 includes a bed 2 for lying down on a patient, a vertically movable foot rest 3 provided integrally with the bed 2, and a suspension provided on the foot rest 3. 4.

The foot placement section 3 includes a placement moving section 3a and a fixed section 3
The placing and moving unit 3a is configured to be able to ascend to a position where the patient has bent his or her feet by about 90 degrees according to the physique (particularly, height) of the patient.

The hanging portion 4 is provided on the hanging portion moving portion 4a which moves up and down separately from the placing and moving portion 3a.
The drive means reciprocates along a linear groove 4b formed in a direction intersecting with the patient's spine. That is, as the hanging portion 4 reciprocates, the speed at both ends becomes zero, and the speed at the center becomes the maximum speed. This provides the same movement (usually swinging as a sine curve) on the patient's suspended waist as if it were suspended from a high position and rocked.

A belt 5 to be attached to the patient's waist is attached to the suspension unit 4 via a cord body 6.

Next, the case where the above-mentioned back pain treatment / correction device is used will be described. First, as shown in FIG.
The patient is laid on his back on the bed 2, the belt 5 is attached to the patient's waist, the cord 6 is attached from the crotch, and one of the cords 6 is attached to the suspension 4. In this state, as shown in FIG.
Raise to the position where it can be bent to 0 degrees.

Thereafter, the patient's waist is raised by raising the hanging part moving part 4a by a predetermined amount as shown in FIG.
The bed is lifted (to swing away) from the bed 2 while being supported.

At this time, an appropriate lifting speed (ie,
As a result of the experiment, the lifting speed of the foot rest 3 was 8 to 10 mm /
In S, the lifting operation time (that is, the time for raising the footrest 3) was 10 to 15 minutes. of course,
Since this experimental result is an example, the lifting speed is not limited to this, but is determined according to the patient's age, body shape, gender, weight, medical condition, or the like.

Next, by reciprocating the suspending portion 4 along the groove 4b, the patient's waist is caused to swing (shake) in the lateral direction (the direction crossing the patient's spine). The width of this rocking (shaking) was appropriately ± 100 mm in the experimental results. Of course, as in the case of the lifting speed described above, the experimental result is an example, and the width of the swing (shaking) is not limited to this, and the patient's age, body shape, gender, weight, medical condition, etc. It is determined according to.

This swinging (shaking) is performed only for about the first 30 seconds of the time (about 120 seconds) for suspending the patient. This is because repeating a short swing (shake) rather than a continuous swing (shake) is more effective for lower back pain.

After the swinging (swinging) is completed, the waist is kept lifted for a while, and then the foot rest 3 is lowered to stop the lifting of the patient's waist (this state will be relaxed thereafter). ). Relaxation time is about 2
0 sec is appropriate.

FIG. 4 is a graph showing the above treatment steps. By repeating the lifting process, the swinging (swinging) process in the lifting state, the lifting process after stopping the swinging (swinging), the hanging process, the relaxation process, the lifting process again, and the treatment process for back pain, Corrections can be made. Of course, the patient ’s age, body shape,
The time distribution of each treatment step, the number of repetitions, and the like are determined according to gender, weight, or medical condition.

The string 6 connecting the hanging portion 4 and the belt 5 attached to the buttocks of the patient is linear (the hanging portion 4 is short in position).
And the patient's buttocks), and in this state, the hanging part 4 reciprocates in the lateral direction. Thereby, it becomes possible to provide the patient's buttocks with the same horizontal swing as in the case where it is hung via a cord body longer than the upper part. That is, it is possible to transmit a swing that draws a sin curve to the patient's waist.

In the above embodiment, the foot rest 3 is provided integrally with the bed 2, but it is also possible to construct only the foot rest 3 separately from the bed 2. That is, the foot rest 3
Is configured separately, the distance between the bed 2 and the foot rest 3 is adjusted according to the physique (particularly according to the height) of the patient, so that treatment and correction can be performed according to patients of various physiques. It can be carried out. In addition, by providing the foot placement section 3 in contact with the foot side of the existing ordinary bed, the bed can be similarly used as a back pain treatment tool.

In the above-described embodiment, the belt 5 and the cord body 6 are separately provided. However, for example, the belt 5 and the cord body may be constituted by an arc-shaped wrapping body that wraps a waist portion of a patient lying on a bed from below. It is also possible to raise the waist with a plurality of cords. The point is that the patient's waist can be lifted from the bed, and it is sufficient that the patient's waist is configured to be highly safe so as to withstand swinging (shake).

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the structure of the vertical movement of the foot rest 3 is not particularly described. However, a structure using a pantograph or a structure using a hydraulic cylinder or the like may be used. The point is that any device that can move up and down smoothly can be used.

In the above embodiment, when the patient's waist is hung, the patient is hung by the hanger 4 provided on the foot rest 3. However, the hanger of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a frame 8 provided so as to surround the outside of the bed 2 on the side of the footrest portion 3,
It is also possible to comprise with the suspension part 9 provided in the.
In this case, although the installation space is taken up by the frame body 8, there is an advantage that the patient's waist can be automatically swung.

Further, the cord 6 to which the belt 5 is attached
Was used while attached to the hanging portion 4, but the cord body 6 may be attached to the hanging portion 4 from the beginning. In this case, the belt 5 is attached after the patient lies on the bed 2. Or, after the patient attaches the belt 5, the bed 2
Then, the belt 5 and the cord body 6 may be connected.

Further, the vertical movement of the foot rest 3 and the swing of the hanging part 4 can be controlled by, for example, a remote controller.
It is also possible for patients to treat their own back pain.

[0034]

As described above, according to the present invention, a swing motion is automatically added to the patient's waist for treatment and correction of back pain, so that the present invention does not depend on the technique or skill as in the conventional massage. In addition, a constant effect can be always obtained, and a remarkable effect that the burden on nurses can be reduced and a reliable treatment and correction of low back pain can be achieved is obtained.

Further, since the foot is secured on the foot rest, the weight of the patient on the suspension is reduced as compared with the conventional case, so that the configuration such as hanging the waist can be simplified. Sufficient attention was also paid to safety.

Further, there is an advantage that the number of parts of the entire apparatus can be reduced and the apparatus can be easily configured, and the cost can be reduced.
