Description

  The present invention relates to a chest band type spinal traction device that can easily perform spinal traction treatment including spinal disc herniation and lumbar region of patients with low back pain even at home, and a seat chair to which this is attached.

  Lumbar intervertebral disc disorders, lumbar radiculopathy, radical sciatica, abdominal fascial back pain, acute back pain (so-called Gikuri back), low back pain, etc., cervical arm syndrome, cervical vertebral spondylosis, cervical sprain Disorders that occurred in various parts of the body, such as sequelae (so-called whiplash), neck pain / stiff shoulders, myotonic headaches, etc., are mostly due to physical causes. It has been known that the effect of physical traction therapy is great. When these symptoms are mild, it is common to go to the hospital and perform traction treatment, but it takes a long time for the treatment, and the time and economic burden on the patient is great. Therefore, it would be desirable for many people suffering from these symptoms to be able to perform traction treatment easily, safely and effectively even in ordinary households under the guidance of a doctor.

  Traction treatment is continuously performed after going to the orthopedic hospital, rehabilitation facility, etc., which is the treatment facility. For example, in orthopedics, there is a method in which a traction device is attached to a large bed and the leg is pulled to correct the treatment. Many have been adopted. In the traction device, a pulley is disposed at the end of the bed, and a rope having a weight fixed to one end is wound around the pulley, and a band is attached to the other end of the rope. Then, the patient lies on the bed, hangs a band on necessary places such as the waist and legs, tightens the torso with a fixed band fixed to the bed body, and pulls it by the suspended weight.

  In this way, if you just pull the body, it can be done in ordinary households and there is no need to go to the hospital, but it is difficult to place a large treatment bed like that installed in the hospital at home. is there. Also, the towing device attached to the bed hangs the rope with the weight suspended on the pulley, so if you move your body during use, the rope may come off the pulley, and handling the weight is troublesome. In addition, the traction force cannot be adjusted freely, which is inconvenient not only in the size of the bed but also in handling.

  In order to solve these problems and enable traction therapy even in ordinary households, for example, a pillow that attaches to the body, a base plate, a belt that restrains the body is attached to the backrest, and a pinion rack type jack is operated with a handle. (See Patent Document 1) A slider seat with a lumbar fixation band is attached to the seat frame and fitted into a slide rail. A screw type motor drive device is attached to the seat frame and connected to the slider seat to make it slidable (patented) Reference 2). A traction belt attached to a patient and a traction support member are attached to a frame as a traction component that is linked (see Patent Document 3). While sitting on a sitting chair, the handle that comes out from the left and right of the backrest is rotated and pulled up so that the height can be adjusted and the hand can be hung by hand (see Patent Document 4). Those who lie on their back and fasten their waists with a band of a traction device, pinch their armrests under their armpits, fix their upper body, and operate the traction cart using an electric motor (see Patent Document 5). Various proposals have been made.

  However, the motor type is expensive and large. Moreover, in the thing using a weight, the weight only for the traction weight is required. In addition, since it is necessary to pull at about half the weight in short-time traction, it is not only dangerous, but also dangerous. In addition, the weight type has a problem in that the traction weight is constant and the patient is painful as time passes. In view of the above-described conventional problems, the present invention can be easily and easily transported without using a weight that is difficult to handle and dangerous, and can freely adjust the traction force. An object of the present invention is to provide a seat chair using a chest-band spine traction device that is not forced to be used and a chest-band spine traction device that can be used as reclining furniture when not in use.

  Therefore, the chest band-type spinal traction device of the present invention includes a suspension part that can be suspended at a predetermined height position, a chest fixing part that tightens and restrains a patient's chest circumference, and an inner part of the chest fixing part. A balloon-type air pad provided on the side, an air pump that injects air into the balloon-type air pad, a cushioning air pad that supports the patient's heel and back, and the patient's back from the back of the patient over the shoulder The chest fixing part and the end part of the front fixing band can be fastened and separated from each other.

  The seat chair of the present invention is characterized in that the backrest portion is configured to be extendable and contracted, and the chest band type spinal traction device is fixed to the backrest portion. Furthermore, the backrest portion can be moved up and down by operating the armrest.

The present invention has the following excellent effects.
(1) A hanging state can be easily obtained simply by mounting on a well-known hanging health appliance or a chair, and the back muscles and spine can be pulled.
(2) It can be pulled very easily and safely without using a weight or motor.
(3) It can be easily and easily carried and carried.
(4) Since the tractive force does not exceed at least the patient's own weight, there will be no pain even when used for a long time.

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings.

  1 and 2, 1 is a chest circumference fixing band, 2 is a backrest portion, 3 is a seat portion, 4 is an armrest / vertical movement handle, and 5a and 5b are frame frames of a seat chair body. The backrest 2 is variably connected to the seat portion 3 at an arbitrary inclination angle. The backrest portion 2 is provided with a locking bracket 1a as a suspension portion that can suspend the chest fixing band 1 to a predetermined height position. Therefore, it is hooked and locked to the upper end of the backrest 2. In order to restrain and tighten the chest circumference of the patient H softly, the chest girth fixing band 1 has a plurality of balloon-type air pads 6 attached to the inner surface, and inflates the balloon-type air pads 6 by injecting air. These manual air pumps 7 are respectively attached. In the figure, 8a and 8b are cushioning air cushions for supporting the heel and the back of the patient H, respectively, and 9 is a front fixing band for winding the patient H from the back over the shoulder and fixing the front of the body. In addition, the chest fixing band 1 and the front fixing band 9 are configured such that a known fastening device 10 such as a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to an end portion and can be fastened and separated.

  As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, the chest fixation band 1 is formed in a wide shape that can be wound around the chest of the patient H, supports the armpit portion, and only the chest is backrest when the chest is attached to the chest of the patient H. It is fixed to part 2. By the way, this seat body is configured such that the backrest 2 slides on the back frame 5a and expands and contracts vertically, and an example of the mechanism is shown in FIGS. 6. The traction system shown in the figure is a specific example using a link mechanism, and when the ball screw 11 is rotated, both links 12 and 13 expand and contract. This mechanism is based on the same principle as a jack used to lift a vehicle, and the links 12 and 13 are members of 12a, 12b, 13a and 13b, respectively. The other end of the handle 4 is connected to the frame 4a, and the other end is fixed to the connecting brackets 14 and 15 of the sliding frame 2a and the back frame 5a. The ball screw 11 is formed with a right-hand screw and a left-hand screw, respectively, with the intermediate point as a base point, and the gear of the vertical movement handle frame 4a meshes with the gear formed at the end, and the sliding frame is moved up and down. 3a slides up and down so that the sliding frame 2a (backrest part 2) can expand and contract. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the armrest 4 is moved up and down while the patient is sitting on the seat 3 of the seat, the backrest 2 can be moved up and down.

  As the chassis frames 5a and 5b of the seat chair, those having a well-known reclining structure for connecting the connecting portions freely at an angle are used. For example, it has a ratchet tooth and an engaging claw piece meshing with the ratchet tooth, and the backrest 2 is stopped and engaged with the seat portion 3 stepwise at an appropriate angular position, while the backrest portion with respect to the seat portion 3. When 2 is sufficiently bent and folded, all the engagement states are released, the backrest portion 2 is returned to a substantially horizontal state with respect to the seat portion 3, and can be stopped and engaged by adjusting the angle again. The frame 5a and 5b are covered with a cushion material having an appropriate elastic force such as a highly foamed synthetic resin so as not to give the patient H discomfort due to unevenness.

  According to the sitting chair configured as described above, the upper limb of the patient H is hung on the backrest 2 while sitting on the sitting chair, and the back muscles and spine can be extended. That is, the patient H wears the chest girth fixing band 1 while sitting on the seat portion 3 and extends the backrest portion 2 by moving the armrest 4 up and down. For example, the same effect as the state where the back muscles and the spine are pulled by the own weight of the patient H can be obtained by simply raising the waist by about 20 cm to 25 cm and slightly raising the waist from the seat portion 3. At that time, if a weight or height adjustment pillow 16 as shown in FIG. 7 is used, the traction adjustment can be finely adjusted.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, it is also possible to attach only the chest girth fixing band 1 to the patient H and hang it on a relatively tall pipe frame 17 such as a well-known hanging health device. In this case, since the traction strength can be adjusted in the bent state of the leg of the patient H, it is possible to cope with the delicate strength of the traction force associated with the treatment and healing conditions for the patient H having a different height.
