Description

The present invention relates to a human body opening muscle strengthening training system, and in particular, pelvic floor muscles and sphincter muscles in the vagina or anus, etc. The present invention relates to an opening muscle strengthening training system for strengthening human opening muscles such as pelvic floor muscles so as to prevent incontinence, cystocele, rectal aneurysm and the like.

  Conventionally, many proposals and inventions related to muscle strengthening training for human body openings such as pelvic floor muscles have been made as proposals and inventions for instruments and training methods used therefor.

  For example, there are proposals and inventions of various pelvic floor muscle training devices as assistive tools for training the vaginal muscle group, and some have already been put into practical use.

  That is, there is a proposal of an auxiliary device for training the vagina muscle group which is attached to a human body opening such as in the vagina with a thin body outer shape and can accommodate a metal weight inside.

  Also, the vagina provided with a mounting inflating portion that expands by inflowing fluid, a fluid supply portion, and a measuring portion that measures the amount, pressure, or speed of the fluid that flows out when the inflating portion is contracted by the intravaginal muscle. An invention of a device for enhancing the contraction function of an internal muscle has also been proposed.

  In addition, one end of an inflatable probe to be worn in a woman's vagina is connected to the regulator via a conduit, and the pressure that the user applies to the probe is detected by bending and relaxing with the pelvic floor muscles. There has also been proposed a training apparatus for strengthening the pubic caudal muscle that is displayed on a display connected to the head and trained while monitoring the internal pressure of the probe.

  However, the conventional proposals require further ease of use and a successful training system technology for muscles of the human body opening such as the pelvic floor muscle.

  The invention of Patent Document 1 is to put a metal weight in the main body and to improve the muscle group by increasing or decreasing the amount, but not only is there resistance to putting the weight, but the use posture is mainly. There is a problem of standing up and depending on the weight of the metal weight, and the improvement level of the muscle group is not quantified, so the level is difficult to understand.

  In addition, the invention of Patent Document 2 is difficult to reinforce the contraction function of the intravaginal muscle, particularly so-called tightening muscle strengthening training that is performed while maintaining the tightening pressure for a certain period of time.

  In order to continue this kind of training, it is necessary to use it easily by the patient alone and to be able to confirm the progress during the training as well as during the training.

  Therefore, equipment installation, training start, confirmation of effectiveness (and awareness of training), and even storage of equipment, there is little shame, it can be done easily and in a short time, and training effects are easy to recognize In the past, various proposals had to overcome many problems.

Excellent effects.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in FIG.

  The measuring member / training device 1 includes, for example, a mounting body 10 having an insulator-like shape and an injection pipe 11 connected to one end of the mounting body 10.

  The mounting body 10 is formed of a flexible member such as a silicon resin, and a hollow portion 12 into which a gas such as air is injected through the injection pipe 11 is provided.

  As can be understood from FIG. 3, the other end of the injection pipe 11 is connected to the upper surface of a training device 13 having a rectangular box shape, for example, and a delivery pump (not shown) provided in the training device 13. It is connected to.

  Therefore, by operating the delivery pump, a gas such as air can be delivered to the hollow portion 12 in the mounting body 10 via the injection pipe 11 to bulge the mounting body 10.

  Next, as described above, the training apparatus 13 to which the mounting main body 10 is connected not only includes a delivery pump, but also includes a computer 31 that performs various controls (see FIG. 5). ).

  A display unit 14 composed of a liquid crystal screen or the like is provided on the front surface of the training device 13, and a power switch button 15, a measurement start button 16, a training start button 17, and a training program determination are provided outside the display unit 14. A button 18 and a delivery pump activation button 19 are each provided. There is no limitation on the layout of these installations.

  Therefore, if the power switch button 15 is pressed, the power is turned on, and if it is pressed again, the power is turned off.

  If the measurement start button 16, the training start button 17, the training program determination button 18 and the delivery pump operation button 19 are pressed, measurement and training are started, the training program is determined, and the delivery pump is activated. .

  A display example of the display unit 14 is shown in FIG. 4. For example, ten display bars 20 are arranged in the vertical direction in the center of the screen, and the strength of the external pressure with respect to the mounting body 10 is indicated by the display bar 20. It is configured to display.

Here, the unit for displaying the pressure is conventionally displayed in kg / cm 2 (kgf). However, the International System of Unit SI (Systeme Internationald '
Units) will be unified worldwide, and the pressure display will have to be displayed in Pa (Pascal) with a grace period of September 30, 1999.

Therefore, the strength of the external pressure is expressed by Pa (Pascal) and displayed on the display bar 20 in 10 steps.

As can be understood from FIG. 3, the external pressure display changeover switch 37 is provided at the lower right end of the training device 13, and the external switch indicated by the display bar 20 or the like is switched by switching the changeover switch 37. The pressure display can be switched from the pressure display (strong) that assumes normal people to the external pressure display (weak) that assumes people who have extremely less contraction pressure than normal people. Even if it exists, it is supposed that this apparatus can be used smoothly.

  This is a change between strong and weak, but “weak” is a pressure display that is about half the strength of “strong”. For example, the maximum pressure display for “strong” is reduced to about 50%. A mode can be considered.

  Above the display bar 20, a measurement bar 21, a training bar 22 and a result bar 23 are displayed in the horizontal direction. The measurement bar 21 lights up during measurement, and the training bar 22 lights up during training. When the result is displayed, the result bar 23 is lit.

  Further, a result level bar 24 in which the results of the muscle level are displayed in stages as “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E” is provided below the result bar 23.

  Here, “A” indicates “ideal type”, “B” indicates “normal”, “C” indicates “needs effort”, “D” indicates “caution”, and “E” indicates “caution”.

  A training mark 25 that is lit while training, in particular, contracting muscles and applying contraction pressure to the measurement member / training apparatus 1 is provided on the upper left side of the display unit 14. Here, the mark of the image where the barbell is lifted is used. However, for example, a mark indicating that the person is sweating or is working may be used. Thus, by providing the training mark 25 and lighting it, it is devised to overcome the difficult training.

  Below that, a number display unit 26 for displaying, for example, a two-digit number is provided.

  The number display section 26 displays the duration during which the muscle is contracted and the contraction pressure is applied to the measurement member / training apparatus 1 or the number of the selected training program.

  The lower mark is a relax mark 27 formed so as to light up in a relaxed state without contracting muscles. Here, coffee that makes an image of a coffee break time is displayed.

  Also for this mark, a smile image or an image mark that imagines so-called relaxation indicating a break may be used. By providing such a relaxation mark 27 and lighting it, a short relaxation time during a difficult training can be relaxed from the bottom of my heart.

  Below the display bar 20, there is a READY bar 28 indicating that the measurement start preparation or the training start preparation is already completed. After the READY bar 28 is turned on, for example, a few seconds later, the GO display bar 34 is turned on, and the measurement start button 16 and the training start button 17 are pressed to start measurement or training.

The use state of the present invention will be described next.

First, when the power switch button 15 is pressed to turn on the power, the pump display bar 33 provided at the upper left end of the display unit 14 blinks.

  First, the mounting body 10 is inserted into the opening of the human body, for example, the vagina or the anus, in order to measure and investigate the muscle level.

  When the mounting to the predetermined position is completed, air is injected into the hollow portion 12 of the mounting body 10 to swell. The air injection is started by pressing the delivery pump operating button 19.

  When the mounting body 10 swells and a human body opening, for example, the inner wall of the vagina or the inner wall of the anus, and the outer wall of the mounting body 10 are fitted (for example, the pressure in the hollow portion is set to about 1.5 atm), various displayed Among the bars, the READY bar 28 is lit.

  The READY bar 28 is turned on, and the pump display bar 33 stops blinking.

  After a few seconds, the GO bar 34 indicating the start of measurement is turned on and the READY bar 28 is turned off.

  The lighting of the GO display bar 34 is a start signal for starting measurement.

  In addition, when the air injection into the hollow portion 12 becomes a pressure equal to or higher than the pressure in the fitted state, for example, 1.5 atmospheric pressure or higher, the redo bar 35 blinks on the display unit 14. In this case, the power is turned off, air is extracted from the hollow portion 12, and air is injected again.

  In addition, the device configuration is such that the air is automatically exhausted so that the pressure in the hollow portion 12 does not exceed the pressure in the fitted state, for example, when the pressure becomes 1.5 atmospheres, the pressure does not increase further. It doesn't matter.

  That is, it is conceivable to provide an automatic valve so that the pressure can be automatically adjusted with respect to the instantaneous pressure increase during pressurization.

  When the GO display bar 34 is turned on, the person to be measured contracts the contracted muscle of the opening of the human body to be measured and applies external pressure to the mounting body 10.

  Then, the contraction pressure value and the duration of the contraction pressure are measured by the measurement member / training device 1. Here, as an example of the measuring means, the amount and time of air movement from the hollow portion 12 are detected, and these values are converted into the level or duration of the muscle level, and the measured values are clearly indicated. can give.

  That is, the muscle level proportional to the contraction pressure value is displayed on the display bar 20.

  At the same time, the duration of the contraction pressure is displayed on the number display unit 26.

  Further, in the duration display bar 36, for example, the number of seconds of the duration and a block bar at a stage indicating the number of seconds are lit and displayed.

  In the present invention, the display value indicating the so-called maximum value displayed on the display bar 20 is held as it is and remains lit even during measurement or during training described later. In other words, by holding the pressure value that reached the maximum value instantaneously and keeping it lit, the muscle level state can be clearly understood and recorded easily.

Furthermore, the display value indicating the so-called maximum value is held as it is for any one or both of the durations indicated in the duration display bar 36, such as the number of seconds and the block bar at the stage indicating the number of seconds. It is preferable to do.
That is, the display of these duration times also holds the value that instantaneously reaches the maximum value and keeps it lit, so that the grasp of the muscle level state can be clarified and it is easy to record.

  Then, the pressure value is analyzed by the display of the display bar 20 and the display indicating the duration described in the number display unit 26 and the duration display bar 36, and the current muscle level of the measurement subject is displayed in the result level bar 24. Is done.

  In addition, as a result, training programs are adopted in accordance with “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E”, which are stepwise displays lit by the level bar 24.

  As for the selection, an optimal training program may be translated under the guidance of a doctor, and the optimal training program is automatically selected by the computer 31 installed in the training apparatus 13 of the present invention in advance. It doesn't matter.

  A plurality of types of training programs are stored in advance in the computer 31 of the training device 13 in a storage unit 29 constituted by a hard disk or the like. In the control unit 30 such as a CPU, an input unit 33, for example, a result level bar 24 and a numerical display. Based on the measurement values (contraction pressure value and contraction pressure duration) input from the unit 26, a training program optimum for the measurement value can be extracted from the storage unit 29.

  Here, the training programs stored and stored in the storage unit 29 are, for example, as follows, but are not limited to such training programs. That is, for example, the storage unit 29 such as a hard disk provided in the training apparatus of the present invention can be rewritten and updated, and in the strengthening training of the human body opening muscle, there is an optimal training program for the muscle of the person to be measured. It can be updated and provided in sequence.

Note that “flex” means an exercise for contracting the muscle, and “relax” means an operation for relaxing the muscle. The number displayed as 10 seconds or the like indicates the duration of the flex time.
1 Basic training 3 minutes course
First half 10 seconds (Flex) 5 seconds (Relax) 10 sets Second half 3 seconds (Flex) 2 seconds (Relax) 6 sets Here, the contents of the above basic training will be explained slightly. After mounting the mounting body 10, the fit state is established, and the muscle to be trained is contracted for 10 seconds. Then, after contracting for 10 seconds, relax for 5 seconds. Repeat this menu 10 times in the first half.

  Therefore, training for 150 seconds, that is, 2.5 minutes is performed in the first half. Further, the second half is a short time, but the menu for contracting for 3 seconds and relaxing for 2 seconds is repeated 6 times. Therefore, the second half is a training time of 30 seconds.

This 3-minute course will be conducted several times a day.

2 Basic training 5 minutes course
First half 15 seconds (Flex) 10 seconds (Relax) 10 sets Second half 5 seconds (Flex) 5 seconds (Relax) 6 sets

3 Basic training 10 minutes course
20 sets of 3 seconds (flex) and 3 seconds (relaxation) combined with training 1 and training 2.

4 Instantaneous power up 2 minutes course First half 3 seconds (Flex) 2 seconds (Relax) 20 sets Second half 1 second (Flex) 1 second (Relax) 10 sets

5 Sustainability 6 minutes course First half 10 seconds (flex) 10 seconds (relax) 9 sets Second half 15 seconds (flex) 10 seconds (relax) 8 sets

As mentioned above, although five training menus were shown as an example here, it is not limited to these training menus.

  In addition, the above-described training menus 1 to 5 can be freely combined to select a menu most suitable for the training target person.

  Here, when a training program is selected, training is performed according to the training program.

  First, in order to start muscle strengthening training, the mounting body 10 of the measuring member / training device 1 is inserted into a human body opening, for example, the vagina or the anus, and mounted.

  When the mounting to the predetermined position is completed, air is injected into the hollow portion 12 of the mounting body 10 to swell. The air injection is initiated by pressing the delivery pump activation button.

  When the mounting body 10 swells and a human body opening, for example, the inner wall of the vagina or the anus, and the outer wall of the mounting body 10 are in a fitted state (for example, when the pressure in the hollow portion 12 is about 1.5 atm), The READY bar 28 is lit. Thereafter, when the READY bar 28 is turned off and the GO display bar 34 is turned on, a start signal for starting training is given.

  When the GO display bar 34 is lit, the person to be measured contracts the contracting muscle of the opening of the human body to be measured, and applies external pressure to the mounting body 10 (sets the flex state) or relaxes (relaxed state). Repeat training according to the selected training program.

  Here, as can be understood from FIG. 4, the training mark 25 formed with an image as shown in the figure lights up on the display unit 14 during flex time (when muscles are contracted), and training is performed. Will guide you to help.

  In addition, during the relaxation time, a relaxation mark 27 using a predetermined image is lit so that the user can relax from the heart.

As described above, for example, if the training program is performed once or twice a day, for example, about 5 times a day or once a week, the improvement is obvious after about 1 to 3 months. Turn into.
