Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The tool of the present invention is, for example, a belt or a locking member in which the back of the knee is passed in a cross or H shape, a belt or the like using a rubber cord or a belt passing from the waist to the thigh, the vicinity of the back of the knee. This is a device for performing exercise therapy composed of, etc., and is performed based on the same principle as exercise therapy for increasing blood flow and muscle strength in the waist, crotch portion, knee portion and sole portion.

This was created by the inventor, and the purpose of this tool is to eliminate pain in the joints of the body.
In other words, it is intended to eliminate joint pain, restore the function of the entire waist, legs, elbows, wrists, and fingers, and prevent deformation and contracture. For example, when you move your hips and knees, the muscles attached to the hips used at that time, the quadriceps, herstrings, the anterior tibialis, etc. The muscles are loaded by the belt.
In other words, this is based on the same principle as exercise therapy using a chair or the like.
The purpose of this device is to improve joints, eliminate joint pain, and prevent deformation and contracture by promoting increased blood flow and muscle strength.

By exercise therapy, muscles such as the waist part, hip joint part, knee joint part are trained to increase blood flow and muscle strength. By strengthening and increasing blood flow, and promoting secretion of joint fluid and metabolism of cartilage and the like, the inside of the waist, knee joint, hip joint, etc. is improved.
In addition, the ligaments are strengthened to stabilize the joint joint in place, prevent wear due to contact between the femur and tibia and other cartilages, and eliminate stress such as pain in the joint to maintain the normal function of the joint. I can do it.

Therefore, it can be said that if this device is used for therapy, there will be an improvement effect on pain, joints, etc. in the waist, knee, crotch or wrist, wrist joint, etc. It is clear from the fact that exercise therapy is performed to stop joint pain.
In fact, this was confirmed by the inventor himself from a number of monitors.
Further, the knee joint and the hip joint can obtain a further effect by a synergistic effect with the sole plate for improving the arch of the sole attached to the sole and the O leg.
In addition, the activation of the calf muscle by this therapy improves the pump function of this part and can promote the return to the upper body of the blood flow that is stagnant due to contracture in the leg part. .

The gist of the present application is to stop the pain in each part such as the waist, crotch, and knee by wearing the device that exhibits the same effect as the exercise therapy.
As described above, the present invention relates to a device for the purpose of eliminating pains such as a waist part, a hip joint, and a knee joint, and preventing joint improvement, joint deformation, and contracture.

  Traditionally, pain in the lower back, crotch, knees, and hips is lower back pain, hip osteoarthritis near the base of the crotch, general knee pain osteoarthritis of the knee, meniscus injuries due to sports, ligaments, etc. Injury and rheumatoid arthritis, arch pain in the sole, contracture, etc.

The typical pain is osteoarthritis of the back and knee pain.
The most effective way to improve these symptoms is exercise therapy.
This therapy is a treatment that stops pain by moving the body. Exercise therapy at the hospital, for example, to improve the knee part, strengthen the strength of the quadriceps, etc. The following are some of the strength training aimed at preventing the progression of illness and stopping the disease.
(I) is an exercise to hold the rubber belt with both hands, and turn the rubber belt around the sole of the foot to train the quadriceps and so on.
(B) Put deep in the chair and raise the thigh and shin horizontally for 5 to 10 seconds.
(C) lays down, pulls out the force by applying force to the thigh muscles without stretching the knee and moving the knee joint.
(D) put both feet in the loop and go up and down alternately, and meet slowly.
(E) is an exercise therapy for the lower back where the upper body is tilted with the waist as a fulcrum and bowing is repeated.

As a case of low back pain by age, the cause of joint damage in the lower back part of the elderly is due to aging, the muscles that support the waist age and lose flexibility, the muscles weaken, the ligaments loosen, etc., and the joint part balance Unreasonable movement when the body collapses is a cause of low back pain, commonly referred to as Gikkuri waist.
In the case of young people with low back pain, the muscles in the lumbar spine and sacrum tend to be tense due to tension from the sitting position for a long time, or due to unnatural posture, lack of exercise, weakness of the back and abdominal muscles, and poor vascularity. Back pain occurs.
In the case of elderly knee joints, muscles and ligaments become slack due to aging, and the balance in the knee joints is lost, and the knee joints, hip joints, and ankle joints cannot maintain their original functions.
In the case of the knee joint, the part receiving the weight of the rumbling part such as the inside of the joint or the outside of the joint becomes unstable, places a heavy burden on the inside of the joint, etc., and a part of the weakened articular cartilage wears out and causes pain It becomes like.
This is a typical pattern of the development of knee osteoarthritis of the knee.

In addition, excessive force continues to be applied to the sole part for a long time, and obese people gradually collapse the arch of the sole and can not support the weight at the arch part, the ligament is fully extended and the weight is kept at the sole part It cannot be dispersed and cannot function as a cushion, and impact from the ground directly damages the knee joint.
Countermeasures for these symptoms include a plantar plate that is a tool for improving the soles and measures for O-legs.
In parallel with the wearing of these tools, it is necessary to continue the exercise that maintains the muscle strength of the entire leg together with the knee joint.
Then, as functional recovery training, exercise therapy and joint flexibility may be used together with stretching to increase joint range of motion together with training such as walking.
In addition, there are brace therapy that protects joints and assists in joint movement, and drug therapy that reduces pain in these joints.

Problems to be solved by the invention

When performing this therapy, tools such as chairs, time, place to perform therapy, and continuation of daily exercises are difficult for the patient, and the physical burden on the patient for performing therapy is great.
The use of a supporter is suitable for keeping the affected area warm, but in order to press the joints and inhibit blood circulation, the original healing power of the affected parts such as the joints is hindered and the recovery is delayed.
For this reason, the use of items that press on the affected area or tools that are too heavy should be avoided.
In addition, since exercise therapy is a therapy performed to increase the strength of the quadriceps muscle, which is the purpose of the exercise therapy, it tends to be treated in a short time in a clinic or the like.
For this reason, it is apt to give a somewhat stronger therapy.
Persons who have been severely injured in muscles and joints, those who have weak muscles, or those with contracture are likely to be painful if excessive therapy is performed, and long with weak power so as not to strain muscles and joints. Time and exercise therapy are necessary.
There is a need for a tool that can be used easily and effectively without taking place and without physical limitations, and that can be used for continuous training for a long period of time.

The loss of balance between the hip and hip joints and the balance of the knee joints affect each other, and the loss of balance of the entire leg joints such as the hips, hips and knees causes difficulty in walking.
Improvement of the hip and hip joints and improvement of the knee joints are indispensable for improving each other's joints.
The present invention has been invented as a tool for solving these problems.

Examples when the present invention product is actually worn will be described.
Elderly people who are suffering from back pain, hip joint pain, osteoarthritis of the knee, medial collateral ligament hyperextension, and meniscus injuries in areas around Yamanashi City, currently using various tools 12 women, 5 middle-aged women, and 4 men were asked to wear prototypes according to the present invention, and their effects were confirmed.
For 8 out of 21 people, when the ligament begins to sag and pain begins to occur, for example, when the knee is stiff due to waking up in the morning, and when there is mild pain when going up and down the stairs or standing and sitting, When I was seen signs of knee osteoarthritis such as ligament looseness and back pain, I was asked to wear them alternately left and right for about 5 days.

As a result, it was found that in all cases, pain stopped, it was easier to wear than conventional devices, and could be treated.
And two of them, who had slight pains on both legs, changed this device every day, put it on one leg for about 3 days, and then removed this device. This is an example in which the features of the tool are maximized.

If you have knee osteoarthritis and have pain in the knee, cool it down, attach it loosely first, and gradually strengthen it according to the feeling of wearing so that there is no burden on the affected part .
At this time, it is not good for the knees and hips to be worn too strongly, which stresses the legs.
When the knee is fully extended, it is good that a little force is applied to the knee.
In addition, as for the person who had a strong morning pain, I recommended wearing equipment at night and went to the toilet very easily in the morning.

  About two people who began to suffer from osteoarthritis of the hip joint, or because of the pain in the hips and the pain of running to the right leg thigh part began to appear so When the elastic member was attached to the back of the knee below the knee, and the device was attached to the lower part of the patella.

In addition, one person complaining of pain in the elbow part was treated with the same procedure as the knee part, such as attaching a rubber strap to the inside of the elbow, and the symptoms soon improved.
Also, one person with knee joint pain complains that there is a sense of incongruity such as pain in the knee joint part while using this device, so cool it down and attach a belt (10) that stabilizes the knee joint and cool it down. When used together, the discomfort in the knee joint disappeared and the symptoms improved after a while.

  And for the 2 people who had knee joint hyperextension, the pain was cured without any particular problem by the combined use of cooling and the effect of the rubber strap (3), and then the tool was removed, and then the daily life was removed. There was no problem.

For three men and women who had hyperextension of the medial collateral ligament and meniscus injury, this tool was used for some time to recover treatment of ligament hyperextension.
As a result, both ligament and meniscus gradually improved and recovered. The treatment method at this time used both fixing of the affected area and cooling of the affected area to loosen the tool and wear it with weak force.
The affected area waits for the inflammation of the affected area to disappear while cooling is used, and after the recovery, the belt is initially slightly weakened and gradually worn for a long time with the feeling of wearing. However, the muscle strength around the knee joint could be greatly increased.
After that, even after cooling of the affected area was stopped, the wearing of the tool was continued.
As a result, the tool was removed after the knee joint was fully recovered.

  One person who was just tested was that he did not know much about the characteristics of using this tool. This one person used the device with the knee joint fixed to stabilize the knee joint, and the rubber cord (3) was slack, so that the feature of this device could not be pulled out sufficiently.

  However, all of the above showed improvement in symptoms, and although there were differences in degree, most of the improvements were recognized, and the effect of this device was examined. In any case, it was easy to wear it in everyday clothes and it was not bulky.

In addition, it was confirmed that this device supports the treatment effectively because there is no problem in cooling, massage and electrotherapy because the knee part is open.
From the above examples, it was confirmed that the muscular strength-increasing action such as the quadriceps muscle of this device was very effective in these cases.

In addition, for one person with severe pain in the right waist, when the car was driven with two belts taken down from the waist belt (1) from the back of the waist to the soles of the knees, the affected area became difficult. As I continued to apply it as it was, the pain gradually subsided and the pain in the left lower back disappeared.
After that, my left waist also started to ache, so I attached tools to my left waist and soon healed my left waist.
After that, the right knee also felt uncomfortable, so when I attached the knee joint improvement tool, the discomfort accompanied by the pain in the right knee disappeared soon, and both the hips and knees were completely cured.
Since then, there has been no pain in the hips and knees.

In addition, pain occurred in the joint of one person who had broken the right hand little finger in the past, and when the little finger was treated in the same manner as the knee, the pain disappeared and returned to normal.
However, the feature of this device is to make it act on the muscle with extremely weak force, so if the rubber cord is attached too strongly, the load on the waist, knees and hip joints may be applied, which may cause damage. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid excessive use of the device during the joint healing period.
