Abstract

[Problem] The femoral head and acetabulum in the hip joint form a acetabular joint, and since the femoral head is deeply seated in the acetabulum, there are few blood vessels, and if blood flow is stagnated due to illness, injury, or lack of hip joint movement, bone necrosis will occur. [Solution] A loop 4 for attaching a waist belt 2 is attached to the upper part of the spiral spring 1, and a loop 5 for attaching a thigh belt 3 is attached to the lower part of the spiral spring 1, and the spiral spring 1 is stacked so that it touches the joint 19 of the femoral head of the hip joint and the acetabulum in the pelvis, and the spiral spring 1 is attached to the joint 30 of the femoral head 15 of the hip joint and the acetabulum 16 of the pelvis, and the position where the spiral spring 1 touches the hip joint is determined so that the force of the curved part of the spiral spring 1 is always applied to the waist, and the exercise therapy is performed on the femoral head 15 and acetabulum 16 of the hip joint, and the progress is stopped appropriately by performing exercise therapy on the femoral head 15 and acetabulum 16 of the hip joint, and the blood flow is forcibly sent to the hip joint, improving the blood flow.

Description

The present invention relates to an exercise therapy device for femoral head necrosis and a treatment device for relieving knee joint pain by combining ice therapy and exercise therapy.

Spontaneous femoral head necrosis is a disease that causes pain in the groin and is designated as a national incurable disease.
Conventional treatments for knee and hip joint pain include cooling and medication.
When blood flow to the hip joint head is reduced due to illness or injury, the cartilage deteriorates and pain such as avascular necrosis of the femoral head occurs.
Methods such as using magnetic fields to increase blood flow have been tried to treat pain around the femoral head, but these ultimately lead to terminal symptoms of osteoarthritis of the hip.

(1) As for conservative treatment, spontaneous necrosis of the femoral head, a typical example of osteonecrosis, is known to occur in association with the administration of glucorticoid (steroid) preparations or alcohol consumption. However, if the size and location of the necrosis indicate a good prognosis through natural healing without relying on surgical treatment, conservative treatment is appropriate.
(2) Regarding surgical treatment, when symptoms are present and progression of collapse is anticipated, the appropriateness of surgery is promptly determined. However, in cases where the area of necrosis is large, where the femoral head collapse has progressed, or where the patient is elderly, artificial joint replacement surgery may be necessary.

In the above prior art documents, the applicant filed a patent application and actually used the device, but the following issues arise: In Patent Document 1, when the spiral spring is extended and attached from the hip joint to the back, the chest belt is uncomfortable to tighten, and the belt that holds the spiral spring is tight, placing a large strain on the chest, causing problems.
In Patent Document 2, the pain in the spine of the back was relieved when the device was worn, but the burden of the rubber belt 3 on the shoulders and legs was still large, and if the treatment was continued, pain appeared in the legs, making it difficult to continue the treatment. When using the device, the burden around the shoulders was large and pain occurred, but by increasing abdominal pressure with two belts and performing exercise therapy for the lower back while wearing the rubber belt 3, the pain in the lower back and spine was relieved, but the burden on the shoulders and legs was large and it was not possible to wear the device for long periods of time.
Because the femoral head is located deep inside the body, blood flow to it is easily stagnated, making it prone to blood flow disorders. If blood flow to the hip joint head is insufficient due to illness or injury, the cartilage deteriorates and pain such as avascular necrosis of the femoral head occurs.
In the early stages of knee osteoarthritis, known as masked knee pain, X-rays often show no abnormalities in the knee joint, and the condition is often left untreated without the cause being identified. Although the joint is painful, there is no deformation, and it is speculated that some kind of event is causing the discomfort and pain in the joint. Masked knee pain in the knee at the pre-disease stage is a symptom in which the knee hurts even though X-rays show no wear or abnormalities in the bones and cartilage.
The Japanese Orthopaedic Surgery Society's general diagnosis of masked knee pain is that the pain is caused by stress or psychological factors, such as pain during the weekdays but gets better on weekends. However, if the knee joint is left untreated without identifying the cause, knee osteoarthritis will gradually worsen and become an irreversible condition.
In order to treat chronic, serious disorders that occur in the knee joints of elderly people, it is important to continue to send blood flow for a long period of time with weak pressure to knee joints that have been left untreated for a long period of time and have become painful. It is important not to push yourself too hard, as it takes a long time for pain in joints that have been left untreated for a long period of time to recover.
Ganglions that occur in the cruciate ligament of the knee joint may, depending on their progression, cause an enlargement of the tumor in the cruciate ligament, resulting in pain when walking and interfering with daily life.
Icing treatment reduces the number of macrophages due to impaired blood flow in the affected area, resulting in the shrinking of the tissue in the affected area and posing a major challenge to the recovery of the affected area.

A waist belt (2) is attached to the waist, and a thigh belt (3) is attached to the thighs. The waist belt (2) and thigh belt (3) fasten the top and bottom of the spiral spring (1). A slack prevention cord (7) is attached to the thigh belt (3) to prevent it from loosening and falling down. A twist prevention material (6) is attached to the spiral spring (1) to stop it on the back. The curved spiral spring (8) is curved so that the force of the spiral spring (1) is always applied to the hip joint at the joint (19) of the femoral head (15) and the acetabulum (16). The outer part of the spiral spring (8) is attached to the hip joint, with the center part being attached to the skin (19) that houses the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16) of the hip joint, and muscle training is performed to provide an exercise therapy device that uses two effective exercise therapy functions that allow muscle training with constant blood flow to the hip joint, by tilting the body back and forth without stagnation of blood flow and by rotating the body in a plane perpendicular to the spine when twisting the body sideways, and by performing two exercise therapies: an exercise therapy in the direction of rotation of the force that returns the twisting deformation that occurs in the spine to its original shape, and an exercise therapy for forward and backward movement.

The blood flow disorder caused by ice therapy causes the tissue in the affected area to shrink, but by using the exercise therapy equipment shown in Figures 4 and 8, it is possible to combine exercise therapy and ice therapy. This exercise therapy stops inflammation and sends a lot of blood flow to the affected area, increasing blood flow and sending a large amount of macrophages, avoiding inflammation in the affected area, and activating the macrophages prevents the affected area from shrinking, and the progression of knee joint symptoms caused by ganglion can also be significantly improved from early tumors.
This is a method of wearing an exercise therapy device, characterized by the fact that a spiral spring (1) is attached from the waist to the thighs, a waist belt (2) and a thigh belt (3) are attached, a slack prevention string (7) is attached to prevent the thigh belt (3) from slipping from the waist belt (2), a loop (4) for passing the waist belt (2) through is attached to the spiral spring (1), a loop (5) for passing the thigh belt (3) through is attached to the spiral spring (1), and the force of the spiral spring (1) is constantly applied to the affected area at the joint (19) of the femoral head and the acetabulum in the pelvis, and muscle training treatment is performed by applying exercise therapy to the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16) at the joint (19) of the hip joint, which is strongly bent before being attached to the thigh belt (3), thereby accurately stopping deformation of the hip joint, forcibly sending blood flow to the hip joint, and improving blood flow.

The pain in the knee joint caused by masked knee pain should not be left untreated, and the effectiveness of combining muscle training with transdermal anti-inflammatory analgesics or icing treatment should be made known to the public. By properly treating masked knee pain, even if the pain of osteoarthritis of the knee caused by masked knee pain begins to occur due to loosening of the ligaments, the formation of osteophytes will be faster than the rate of deformation of the knee joint, and the knee joint will be formed so that the growth rate of osteophytes exceeds the rate of deformation of the knee joint, and knee joint symptoms can be suppressed and treated to avoid knee osteoarthritis.
Figure 8 shows the exercise therapy device shown in Figure 4, which has been proven and patented, and the fact that the knee joint cartilage does not decrease with age using the wrapping method shown in Figure 10 has been a solution to the knee joint pain I have suffered since I was about 20 years old until now, when I am 73 years old, by using an exercise therapy device made of elastic bands, allowing me to walk while keeping my knees cool.
FIG. 8 shows a stocking-like supporter using the wrapping method A shown in FIG. 10, in which two elastic cords are wrapped left and right from the back of the waist, crossed in front of the thighs, and placed behind the knees, then crossed in front of the shins and fastened at the soles of the feet. A net-like belt is incorporated and an ice pack can be attached. This stocking-like supporter exercise therapy device has an adjustable elastic strength wrapping configuration and can be used for muscle training when straightening the knee.

The beginning of wrapping in Figure 10, A, is configured by dividing the net-like belt in two at the back of the waist and crossing it in three places: the front of the thigh (33), the back of the knee (34), and the front of the shin (35). It is a freely wearable stocking-like supporter that incorporates the wrapping method of A, in which the two elastic cords (10) and (11) in the front of the knee part shown in Figure 4 are wrapped around the back of the knee joint and crossed behind the knee, secured at the back of the knee, then crossed again in front of the shin and finished at the shin or the sole of the foot.
As an example of the flat rubber belt or rubber cord built into the stocking-like supporter used in the wrapping method of Figure 10A, a net-like belt is created by pasting together a net-like flat rubber belt about 2 mm to 5 mm wide on a net cloth-like rubber mesh about 1 mm wide, resulting in a cloth-like net belt-like structure.
For example, a flat rubber belt with a width of about 2 mm to 6 mm is made into a net-like rubber belt or belt with a width of about 20 mm to 50 mm, and the beginning of wrapping A is a net-like rubber belt or belt that is divided into two at the back of the waist and crossed at three points: the front of the thigh (33), the back of the knee (34), and the front of the shin (35), and incorporated into a stocking-like supporter.As shown in Figure 4, the two rubber belts (10) and (11) in the front of the knee are rotated behind the knee joint to cross the two belts at the back of the knee, then cross them again in front of the shin, and the stocking-like supporter is configured so that it ends at the sole of the foot after being lowered to the shin or sole (30).

8 and 9 show a function of combining the muscle training function and the icing function shown in Figs. 10 and 11, in which ice bags (31) are placed in front of the knee, on both sides, on the sides of the knee, and, in some cases, behind the knee, allowing the amount of ice to be adjusted to cool the joint, are incorporated into a stocking-like supporter, as a precaution in case pain occurs in the kneecap and on both sides of the knee.
The wrapping method of A is to wrap two elastic bands from the back of the waist in the left and right directions, cross them in front of the thighs, then cross them behind the knees and secure them in front of the shins. The wrapping configuration is such that when the knee is straightened, the built-in circular elastic bands are wound in a figure-8 shape, making it a freely wearable exercise therapy tool incorporated into a stocking-like supporter that can be used for muscle training.
FIG. 8 shows a stocking-like supporter exercise therapy tool that combines muscle training and icing functions and has ice packs built into the left and right sides of the kneecap and knee.
In Figure 9, a net-like belt is incorporated into a stocking-like supporter using two wrapping methods for muscle training, A and B, which begin wrapping around the back of the waist as in Figure 10A and in front of the stomach as in Figure 11B. The exercise therapy device in Figure 10A incorporates net-like elastic cords at two sets of important points that act when straightening the knee, and the exercise therapy device in Figure 11B incorporates net-like elastic cords at the back of the knee (34) and the sole of the foot that crosses at the kneecap (40), respectively. The stocking-like supporter has a figure-of-eight wrapping configuration.

In Figure 9, two sets of elastic bands are incorporated into a stocking-like supporter, and two wrapping methods are used, starting from the back of the waist at A in Figure 10 and from the front of the stomach at B in Figure 11. The two sets of elastic bands are crossed in three places each, with A in Figure 10 crossing them at the front of the thigh (33), behind the knee (34), and in front of the shin (35), and B in Figure 11 crossing them below the back of the waist (39), the kneecap (40), and behind the shin (41). With the stocking-like supporter, A allows muscle training when straightening the knee, and B allows muscle training when shortening the knee. A is a configuration in which an elastic band net is incorporated into the stocking-like supporter up to the shin or leg and the sole of the foot.
FIG. 9 illustrates how to incorporate two muscle training wrapping methods, A and B, into a stocking-like supporter, which begin wrapping around the back of the waist in FIG. 10A and the front of the abdomen in FIG. 11B.
In Figure 9, an example of a net-like flat rubber belt built into a stocking-like supporter using the wrapping method shown in Figure 10A is a belt-like configuration in which a flat rubber belt with a width of approximately 2 mm to 4 mm is attached to a net-like rubber net with mesh sizes of approximately 1 mm.
FIG. 9 illustrates a configuration for winding a flat rubber belt around a stocking-like supporter by wrapping the belt around the back of the waist as shown in FIG. 10A.
Using the wrapping method of Figure 10, for example, a net-like elastic belt having a width of about 1 mm is made by pasting together net-like belts having a width of about 20 mm to 50 mm. For the device of Figure 8, the first wrapping method shown in Figure 10A is used to wrap the net-like elastic belt in two directions from the back of the waist, or the net-like belt such as a belt-like elastic belt, which is configured to cross three places, the front of the thigh (33), the back of the knee (34), and the front of the shin (35), with the two elastic bands in the front of the knee wrapped behind the knee joint and crossed at the back of the knee, brought back down to the front of the shin, and then ending at the front of the shin or the sole of the foot, to create a stocking-like supporter configured to incorporate the net-like belt into the shin or foot and sole of the foot.
Using the first wrap of A in Figure 10, one of the net-like elastic cords or net-like belts is wrapped in two directions from the back of the waist and crosses three places: the front of the thigh (33), the back of the knee (34), and the front of the shin (35). The two elastic cords in the front of the knee are wrapped behind the knee joint and crossed at the back of the knee, then brought back down to the front of the shin, and the net-like belt ends at the front of the shin or the sole of the foot (30). This is a wearing method that can be adjusted to suit each individual at the back of the waist using a member that pulls the belt cords on the back of the waist from the left and right, and can also be attached to fit the strength of each individual.
In Figure 11, the second wrap of B is used, and a single net-like elastic cord is used that crosses under the back of the waist (39), at the kneecap (40) and the back of the shin (41) to create a stocking-like supporter with an elastic belt that is incorporated into the shin or foot and sole of the foot (30).

Using wrapping method B in Figure 11, one net-like rubber belt is configured to cross three places from the front of the abdomen (38), below the back of the waist (39), the kneecap (40), and the back of the shin (41). The two belts at the bottom of the back of the waist are rotated towards the front of the knee joint, crossed at the kneecap (40), and brought back down to the back of the shin (41), and then the net-like belt ends at the front of the shin or the sole of the foot. The belt strings are pulled from the left and right in the front of the abdomen to suit each individual. The strength of the pull can be adjusted using the parts in the front of the abdomen to suit the strength of the belt.
The cross section (40) of the kneecap or the like is made by opening the kneecap area to allow cooling, and the net-like flat rubber belt is wrapped around the shin or foot and sole (30) using the second wrapping method of B built into the stocking-like supporter.
Using the wrapping method of Figure 11, for example, a flat rubber cord or belt built into a stocking-like supporter has a structure in which a flat rubber cord or belt having a width of about 2 mm to 6 mm is attached to a net-like rubber mesh having a width of about 1 mm, and combined into a belt-like structure, such as a net-like rubber belt that is tailored to the stocking-like supporter device.
Using the wrapping method of Figure 11, for example, a flat rubber belt with a width of 2 mm to 6 mm is made into a net-like rubber belt with a width of about 20 mm to 50 mm, and for the second wrapping of B, the cross part (40) of the net-like belt over the kneecap is divided into upper and lower parts to avoid the kneecap, and after passing the kneecap, it is returned to one part, leaving the kneecap part open to allow for cooling.
The second wrap of B begins with a net-like rubber belt that is divided into two in front of the abdomen, crossed under the back of the waist (39), and two belts are made at the kneecap (40) with the kneecap area open. It is then divided into two directions, top and bottom, with an opening to allow the kneecap to be cooled, and the two belts are passed through the kneecap (40) and tied together. It crosses the back of the shin (41) and ends near the shin or sole of the foot belt (30). Belts A and B are A, which acts when straightening the knee, and belt B, which acts when shortening the knee, and are tied at the shin or sole of the foot (30).

This device for treating femoral head necrosis utilizes the movement of the hip joint where the pelvis of the spine and the femoral head join to send blood flow to the affected area. The spring (1) is secured and attached by belts (2) and (3) that pass through loops (4) and (5) that pass through the top and bottom of the spring (1), making it easy to perform muscle training within the hip joint.
The hip joint is the largest joint in the human body, and by attaching a greatly curved spiral spring (1) to the hip joint, blood flow is concentrated from all muscle tissues around the hip joint, such as the hip flexors, hip extensors, and hip abductors (psoas major and iliopsoas muscles), as well as the quadriceps and hamstrings in the thigh, increasing the blood flow, and creating a place for strength training to improve the affected area at the junction of the affected joint (19) of the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16) in the hip joint.
In FIG. 3, the curved spring (8) is bent down in a straight line to fit the body, forming the spring (1), and the thigh belt (3) is attached to the loop (5). The outer central part of the curved spring (8) is attached to the joint (19) of the affected hip joint, and the waist is repeatedly bent and stretched, and the body is swung back and forth and rotated as muscle training. The femoral head of the thigh (15) and the acetabulum (16) of the pelvis attached to the lumbar vertebrae are the largest joints in the body, and the hip joint is the largest joint in the body. This is an exercise therapy device that uses the power of the powerful, greatly curved spring (8), i.e., the power of the spring (1), to send a large amount of blood flow to the hip joint at the joint (19) inside the hip joint, where muscle training is performed to improve the affected part of the hip joint.
As shown in Figure 3, when femoral head necrosis develops and pain occurs, treatment requires a constant inflow of a large amount of blood to the hip joint where the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16) meet (19). The greatly curved spiral spring (8) is bent and straightened to fit the body, and the outer center of the spiral spring (8) is placed on the joint where the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16) meet (19) at the hip joint. The spiral spring (8) is bent down to apply the force of the spiral spring (1) to the joint where the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16) meet (19). This makes it possible to send blood flow for a long time even with small everyday movements such as rocking the hips back and forth, maximizing the effect of the spring and allowing exercise therapy with small movements. By constantly attaching the equipment, it is possible to continuously produce a large amount of blood for more than a whole day by maintaining the force of the spiral spring (1) to the maximum.

The method of attachment is as follows: the spiral spring (8) with a large bend in Figure 3 is attached to the body and bent and stretched in a straight line; a loop (4) is attached to the spiral spring (1); a loop (5) is engaged and fixed to the spiral spring (1) in accordance with the spiral spring (1); the top of the spiral spring (1) is attached near the upper back and the bottom of the spiral spring (1) is attached near the upper thigh; the central part of the spiral spring (8) on the outside of the bend is attached to the joint (19) of the affected hip joint; and the central part of the lower outer extension of the spiral spring (8) is aligned with the femoral head (15) and hip bone of the hip joint. When the device is attached to the skin (19) where the acetabulum (16) meets the hip joint while sitting on a chair, even an elderly person can easily attach the curved spiral spring (8), and the device can be attached to a place where muscle training can be performed accurately and constantly.The device can also be attached to a place where muscle training can be performed accurately and constantly, and muscle training that improves the affected area can be performed while concentrating blood flow from all muscle tissues around the hip joint.The device is an exercise therapy device with a mounting method that forcibly sends blood flow to the femoral head part (15) and acetabulum (16) of the hip joint, thereby improving the blood flow to the femoral head and acetabulum of the pelvis.

The device connects the spiral spring (1) from the femur (14) of the thigh to the pelvis (17) and then to the spine with a waist belt (2) on the upper part of the pelvis (17) and a thigh belt (3) on the lower part of the pelvis (17). This is an exercise therapy device that allows for a wide range of muscle training from the spine and lumbar vertebrae to the acetabulum (16), femoral head (15), and femur (14). By performing exercise therapy through muscle training of the pelvis attached to the lumbar vertebrae in the lumbar region, the acetabulum (16) and femoral head (15) in the pelvis (17), and the femur (14) all day long, it is possible to forcibly continue to send blood to the affected area for a long time by concentrating blood flow from all muscle tissues around the hip joint while suppressing inflammation, and creating a place at the joint (19) where muscle training exercise therapy can be performed accurately and constantly to stop pain and improve the affected area.

The two rubber belts A and B incorporated into the stocking-like supporter in Figure 9 are wrapped around the back of the waist (A) and the front of the stomach (B). The two rubber belts are wrapped around two points, A at the back of the knee and B at the kneecap. With the stocking-like supporter, A performs muscle training when straightening the knee and B performs muscle training when shortening the knee. With the net-like rubber belt structure of the two stocking-like supporters with built-in exercise therapy equipment, A and B, blood can be continuously sent without rest, and blood can be gently sent to the knee joint without strain or stagnation.
The net-like rubber belt stocking-like support structure equipment A and B are equipment that can respond to sudden pain in the knee joints of elderly people and chronic severe pain of elderly people. By using the two rubber belts for exercise therapy shown in Figures 10 and 11, which work when straightening the knee and when shortening the knee, sudden traumatic pain can be quickly responded to and relieved.
For chronic severe pain in the elderly, the exercise therapy equipment shown in Figure 9 can be used effectively to keep the blood flowing for a long time with weak force without burdening the body, and works when bending and straightening the knee joint. This is a stocking-like support exercise therapy equipment that combines two configurations, A and B.
For sudden traumatic pain occurring in the knee joint, a stocking-like supporter with ice bags (31) attached to the front of the knee and to the sides of the right and left joints is used as a quick response, and exercise therapy that combines icing and muscle training is used in combination with icing therapy to avoid inflammation in the knee joint, leading to a complete recovery.
For the development of ganglion in the knee joint ligament, it is necessary to assess the progress within the knee joint. Since the enlargement of the ganglion mass that develops within the knee joint can cause pain when walking, it is necessary to start treatment for ganglion in the knee joint early using the therapeutic exercise equipment shown in Figure 8.

The reason for attaching a torsion prevention plate to prevent the spiral spring from twisting is that when the body is twisted sideways and rotated in a plane perpendicular to the spine, the torsional deformation that occurs in the spine returns the spine to its original shape.This is an exercise therapy device that uses a rotational attachment method that acts in the direction of rotation.
The spiral spring (8) with a large bend in Figure 3 is attached to the body and bent and stretched in a straight line. A loop (4) is fixed to the spiral spring (1), and a loop (5) is fixed to the spiral spring (1) in accordance with the spiral spring (1). The top of the spiral spring (1) is attached near the upper waist and the bottom of the spiral spring (1) is attached near the upper thigh. The central part of the spiral spring (8) on the outside of the bend is attached to the joint (19) of the affected hip joint, and the central part of the lower outer extension of the spiral spring (8) is attached to the hip joint. This exercise therapy tool is characterized by being attached to the center of the outer extension of the spiral spring (8) bent at the skin (19) where the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16) of the hip joint meet, creating a place where muscle training can be performed accurately and constantly, and by performing muscle training to improve the affected area while concentrating blood flow from all muscle tissues around the hip joint, forcibly sending blood flow to the femoral head part (15) and acetabulum (16) of the hip joint, thereby improving blood flow to the femoral head and the acetabulum of the pelvis.

FIG. 8 shows a device in which the rubber belt or net-like belt A is incorporated into the stocking-like support of the present invention.
For severe traumatic pain in the knee joint, the stocking-like supporter shown in Figure 8 can be used in combination with exercise therapy using a rubber belt or net-like belt for strength training of the knee joint and ice therapy, which can loosen the ligaments of the knee joint and relieve pain, prevent the bone tissue of the knee joint from dissociating, maintain the bone tissue before the injury, and prevent the onset of osteoarthritis of the knee.
The combined effect of icing treatment, which involves cooling the knee joint with ice, and strength training is that when osteoarthritis of the knee begins to occur, bone spurs begin to form, but the knee joint is formed in such a way that the growth rate of the bone spurs exceeds the rate of deformation of the osteoarthritis, and the combined effect of icing treatment, which involves cooling the knee joint with ice, and strength training does not cause the cartilage in the knee joint to decrease with age.
Walking effectively prevents ligament loosening and forcibly increases blood flow to the ligaments and muscles, and by combining exercise therapy with icing therapy, it is possible to strengthen and restore the ligaments and suppress inflammation.
It was shown that for osteoarthritis of the knee, which may worsen, icing treatment and exercise therapy must be performed together.

The basis for the idea that knee joint cartilage does not decrease with age is the fact that Associate Professor Arakawa Takamitsu of Kobe University has shown that icing treatment causes blood flow disorders, which reduces the supply of macrophages in the muscle tissue necessary for regeneration, and makes it impossible to clean up debris that has developed in the affected area, delaying recovery from the injury and causing the affected area to atrophy.
When osteoarthritis of the knee begins to occur, bone spurs begin to form, but due to the effect of strength training, which allows the growth rate of bone spurs to exceed the rate of deformation of the knee joint, the knee joint is formed, so knee joint cartilage does not decrease with age.
In other words, it was shown that icing therapy and exercise therapy must be performed together.

When an injury is cooled by icing, blood flow is hindered and the number of macrophages is significantly reduced, so that the recovery of the affected area is halted. However, by combining icing with exercise therapy involving strength training to bend and straighten the knee joint, blood flow is increased and the action of sending blood flow increases and sends in more and more macrophages, making it possible to repair the injury. The tools in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 can effectively increase blood flow to the knee and hip joints.
Treatment for knee pain involves the use of a set of cold compresses and the exercise therapy equipment shown in Figure 4. If the condition worsens, cooling therapy using an ice pack attached to a stocking-like device can be used to prevent the condition from becoming more serious. This can increase blood flow to the affected area, and the exercise therapy equipment can help prevent wear and tear of the cartilage in the knee joint, allowing the area to recover.
When damaging the kneecap, it is essential to thoroughly cool the damaged area with ice immediately after the injury and to use exercise therapy equipment in combination.This is an exercise therapy equipment that has significantly improved and demonstrated the need for icing treatment and exercise therapy to be performed together.

As shown in Figure 3, when femoral head necrosis develops and pain occurs, the treatment to be performed is to constantly have a large amount of blood flowing into the hip joint where the femoral head (15) and the acetabulum (16) meet (19). A greatly curved spiral spring (8) is attached to the body and stretched in a straight line from the buttocks. The outer center of the spiral spring (8) is bent down and attached to the joint where the femoral head (15) and the acetabulum (16) meet (19) at the hip joint. The spiral spring (8) is bent down and the force of the spiral spring (1) is constantly applied to the outer center of the spiral spring (8) to effectively send blood flow even with small everyday movements such as rocking the hips back and forth. The effect of the spring is maximized, and the force of the spiral spring (1) can be maintained to the maximum, allowing for exercise therapy with small movements. By attaching the everyday equipment, a large amount of blood can be continuously flowed in for more than a whole day.

An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS.
A loop (4) for passing a waist belt (2) is attached to the curved spiral spring (1) stacked vertically in FIG. 1, and a loop (5) for passing a thigh belt (3) is attached to match the spiral spring (1). The spiral spring (1) is a greatly curved spiral spring (8) wrapped and hardened in an insulator such as synthetic resin or vinyl material. The center of the outer periphery is the skin part where the joint part (19) of the femoral head (15) of the hip joint and the acetabulum (16) inside the hip joint where the hip joint moves is placed between the back of the chair and the seat board. The outer part of the spring (1) is placed facing up, and the spring (1) is bent as if sitting on a chair, and attached to the joint (19) within the painful hip joint while maintaining the repulsive force. The belt (2) for the waist is passed through the upper part (4), and the thigh belt (3) is passed through the loop (5) at the lower part of the spring (1). The top and bottom of the spring (1) are engaged and fixed, and the stacked spring (1) is characterized by sending a large amount of blood flow to the hip joint so that even the elderly can easily attach it to their bodies and can perform muscle training accurately.
The stacked spiral spring (1) is an exercise therapy device that can also accommodate twisting of the body and delivers blood flow continuously for more than a full day.
The waist belt (2) above the hip joint passes through the stacked spiral springs (1) and is secured thereto, and the waist belt (2) is passed through a loop-shaped loop (4), and the thigh belt (3) below the hip joint passes through the spiral spring (1) by fastening a loop (5) to the spiral spring (1). The waist belt (2) and thigh belt (3) fasten and fasten the top and bottom of the spiral spring (1) to the waist, and the spiral spring (1) is connected from the spine to the pelvis and thighs for operation.

This method of wearing an exercise therapy tool comprises a waist belt (2) and a thigh belt (3) to be attached to the waist and thighs, a spiral spring (1) and a slack-preventing string connecting the waist belt (2) and the thigh belt (3), a loop (4) for passing the waist belt (2) through the spiral spring (1), and a loop (5) for passing the thigh belt (3) through the spiral spring (1) in combination with the spiral spring (1). The spiral spring (1) is attached so that the force of the spiral spring (1) is always applied to the joint (19) where the femoral head and the acetabulum in the pelvis meet, and the center of the lower outer extension of the strongly curved spiral spring (8) meets the hip joint. The exercise therapy is performed on the femoral head (23) and acetabulum (24) of the moving part (19), accurately stopping the deformation of the joint and forcibly sending blood flow to the hip joint, thereby improving the blood flow.

For example, the spiral spring (8) shown bent in FIG. 3 is attached to the body before being attached to the thigh belt (3) and bent and straightened in a straight line, forming the spiral spring (1) attached to the waist belt (2). The spiral spring (8) before being attached to the thigh belt (3) is attached at its center portion to the hip joint (19) of the affected area, and bending and straightening it repeatedly is used as muscle training, as is the exercise therapy of leaning back and forth and rotating the body in daily life. The femoral head (15) in the thigh area and the lumbar vertebrae attached to the lumbar vertebrae are bent and straightened in a straight line. This is an exercise therapy tool that is configured such that a large curved spiral spring (8) is bent down in a straight line and attached to the body at the joint (19) of the hip joint, which is the largest joint in the body between the acetabulum (16) of the pelvis and the hip joint, so that a load is always applied to the affected area, and the outer center part of the spiral spring (8), which has the strongest effect, is placed against the joint (19) of the hip joint, and the hip joint is transformed into one that can be trained by bending the body back and forth and twisting it, effectively sending blood flow to the hip joint for long periods of time all day long.
The spiral spring (1) is attached vertically to the waist, and the upper part of the hip joint is attached to the waist by passing a waist belt (2) through a loop (4), and the lower part of the hip joint is attached to the thigh by passing a thigh belt (3) through a loop (5) to fasten the spiral spring (1). The curved outer part of the spiral spring (1) is attached to the skin (19) where the femoral head (15) of the painful hip joint and the acetabulum (16) of the pelvis (17) meet, and the curved outer part of the spiral spring (1) is attached to the skin (19) where the femoral head (15) of the painful hip joint and the acetabulum (16) of the pelvis (17) meet. This is an exercise therapy device in which the curved outer part of the spiral spring (1) is attached to the affected joint (19) at the center of the lower side of the outer part where muscle training can be performed accurately and constantly.

This is a device that connects a spiral spring (1) from the femoral head (15) of the thigh to the acetabulum (24) of the pelvis (17) and then to the lumbar vertebrae via a waist belt (2) from the lumbar vertebrae at the top of the pelvis (17) and a thigh belt (3) at the bottom of the pelvis (17). This is an exercise therapy device that allows for a wide range of muscle training from the lumbar vertebrae to the acetabulum (16), femoral head (15), and femur (14). It is possible to perform exercise therapy by strength training the pelvis attached to the spine in the lumbar region, the acetabulum (16) and femoral head (15) in the pelvis, and the femur (14) all day long. By forcibly increasing and continuing to send blood flow to the affected area for a long period of time, it suppresses inflammation, while concentrating blood flow from all muscle tissues around the hip joint, and it is an exercise therapy device that can create a place where exercise therapy by strength training can be performed accurately and constantly to improve the affected area.

In order to improve a recessed hip joint where femoral head necrosis has developed, it is necessary to constantly have a large amount of blood flow into the hip joint at the joint (19) of the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16). The central part of the lower extension of the spiral spring (8) is attached to the skin (19) where the hip joint fits, and the outer central part of the curved spiral spring (1) is attached to the joint (19) of the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16) of the hip joint. The curved spiral spring (8) is then bent and stretched in a straight line and attached to the hip joint. The force of the spiral spring (1) that is always applied to the hip joint is effectively used to move the body back and forth, maximizing the action of the spring in the daily action of pumping blood, and the blood-pumping effect of the spiral spring (1) can be sustained for a long period of time, more than a full day, allowing exercise therapy with just a few movements.

As shown in FIG. 7, the top and bottom of the spiral spring (1) are attached to loops (4) and (5), respectively, and muscle training is performed by utilizing the movement of the hip joint to send blood flow to the hip joint.
This is an exercise therapy tool that uses a spiral spring with strong resilience to concentrate a large amount of blood flow to the affected hip joint, allowing muscle training to be performed for a long time to improve the hip joint, and allows muscle training to be performed constantly at the joint part (19) of the affected hip joint where the femoral head (15) at the tip of the femur and the acetabulum (16) of the pelvis move.
The upper part of the spiral spring (1) above the hip joint is fastened to the waist belt (2) by passing it through a loop (4), and the lower part of the spiral spring (1) is fastened to the thigh belt (3) below the hip joint with a loop (5). The thigh belt (3) is passed through the loop (5), and the waist belt (2) and thigh belt (3) hold the top and bottom of the spiral spring (1) and fasten it to the waist, connecting the spiral spring (1) from the spine to the pelvis and then to the thighs for it to function.

The hip joint is the joint (19) of the largest joint in the body, consisting of the femoral head (15) of the thighbone (14) and the acetabulum (16) of the pelvis (17) attached to the spine of the body. The hip joint is the largest joint in the body, and the force of the greatly curved spiral spring (8) is used to concentrate blood flow from all muscle tissues around the hip joint, such as the hip flexors, hip extensors, and hip abductors such as the psoas major and iliopsoas muscles, as well as the quadriceps and hamstrings in the thigh area, making it an exercise therapy tool that can accurately perform strength training that improves affected areas for long periods of time, at any time.
This exercise therapy tool is characterized by improving the blood flow of the femoral head (15) and the acetabulum (16) of the pelvis (17) by forcibly sending blood to the skin of the joint (19) of the femoral head (15) and the acetabulum (16) in the hip joint by changing the everyday movements of leaning back and forth and twisting the body into muscle training.

As shown in FIG. 7, the top and bottom of a plurality of stacked spiral springs are attached and fixed to loops (4) and (5) passing through each other, and the device is covered with an insulating material such as synthetic resin or vinyl material to provide strength training to the hip joint by leaning the body forward and backward and by utilizing the movement of the hip joint to bend and straighten the hip joint.
The spiral spring (1) is attached to the hip joint from the hip joint head (15) and acetabulum (16) at the center, from the waist at the top to the upper part of the thigh at the bottom. The force of the most resilient part of the stacked spiral spring (1) is applied to the joint of the femoral head (15) and acetabulum (16) of the hip joint as part of muscle training exercise therapy, increasing blood flow at the optimal position of the joint, and making it possible to perform muscle training for long periods of time through movements that are part of everyday life, such as leaning back, standing up, and twisting the body, which are movements that stretch and bend the brass spiral spring at the hip joint.
This exercise therapy tool forcibly sends blood flow to a hip joint, which is characterized by forcibly sending blood flow to a joint (19) between the femoral head (15) of the hip joint and the acetabulum (16) to improve blood flow between the femoral head and the acetabulum of the pelvis.
Figures 1 and 2 show a torsion prevention plate (6) that prevents the spiral spring from twisting sideways.

This explains an exercise therapy device of a spiral spring (8) that is fixed to the body while maintaining the repulsive force of the curved spiral spring (1) with a waist belt (2) and thigh belt (3) as shown in Figure 3. As shown in Figure 3, the spiral spring (8) that protrudes far behind the body and is curved in an approximately U shape is bent down along the line of the waist and buttocks, passed over the femoral head and acetabulum, and passed through the loop (5) of the thigh belt (3) and fixed in place. By attaching the spring (1) to the body with its force applied to the hip joint, the waist can be raised and lowered, making it possible to carry out exercise therapy, i.e., muscle training, during everyday movements such as walking.

When using the spiral spring in Figure 3 for treatment, the spiral spring (1) on the back is a spiral spring (1) with a large curve with a semicircular side, and the spiral spring (8) before being attached to the thigh belt (3) is a spiral spring with strong resilience that curves backward in the opposite direction to the curvature of the body, and maintains a curved resilient state so that it can always maintain a repulsive movement to the movement of the body. By lowering the spiral spring back along the body, it is possible to perform muscle training that allows the action of the spiral spring to continue on the body at all times.
The spiral spring (8) attached to the thigh belt (3) is bent down along the line of the waist and buttocks of the body and attached to the body, and is an exercise therapy tool in which the spiral spring (1) is fixed to the loop (4) and loop (5) by the waist belt (2) and thigh belt (3).

FIG. 8 shows an explanation of a stocking-like supporter that is used by incorporating an elastic band into the supporter in a method A shown in FIG. 10, which improves severe pain caused by swelling and pain due to external influences on the knee joint, such as damage to the patella.
The elastic band or belt exercise therapy equipment shown in Figure 8 is a stocking-like supporter-type exercise therapy equipment with an ice pack attached to the knee, which is used in combination with icing therapy and exercise therapy to treat serious symptoms that make it difficult to recover from knee joint injuries, such as kneecap injuries, which are wound with strong force and adjusted using the net-like belt of the stocking-like supporter.
In Figure 8, the circular elastic cord is attached in the manner shown in Figure 10 as A, and is assembled into a stocking-like supporter. The elastic cord of the wrapping method shown in A is divided in two directions from the back of the waist, crossed in front of the thighs, then wrapped around the back of the knees, crossed again, lowered, and secured at the foot.
For example, in Figure 8, the flat rubber belt built into the stocking-like supporter that can perform muscle training when straightening the knee, which is built into the stocking-like supporter using the wrapping method in Figure 10, is a net-like belt made by attaching a flat rubber belt with a width of about 2 mm to 6 mm to a rubber string in a cloth net-like shape with a width of about 1 mm.
Using the wrapping method of Figure 10, for example, a flat rubber belt with a width of about 2 mm to 6 mm is attached to a net-like rubber belt and combined to create a net-like rubber belt with a width of about 20 mm to 50 mm. The beginning of the wrapping is a wrapping configuration in which the net-like rubber cord or belt is divided into two at the back of the waist and crossed in three places at the front of the thigh, back of the knee, and front of the shin. The rubber cords that cross at the thigh part are wrapped around the back of the knee joint, crossed at the back of the knee, crossed again at the front of the shin, and finished at the foot or sole. This is a stocking-like supporter with an attached bag for putting ice.

This section describes a stocking-like supporter with an ice bag attached, using the two elastic band winding methods shown in Figs. 10 and 11 for the stocking-like supporter shown in Fig. 9, combining two winding methods, A from the back of the waist and B from the front of the abdomen, to create an exercise therapy tool A that works when straightening the knee and B that works when shortening the knee.
Figure 9 shows the structure of the elastic cord net for a stocking-like supporter with an ice pack, which incorporates two elastic cords, A and B, into the stocking-like supporter, starting with wrapping A around the back of the waist and B in front of the abdomen, and crossing the two elastic cords A and B at two points, A behind the knee and B at the kneecap, for muscle training A when straightening the knee and B when shortening the knee.

In FIG. 9, for example, the winding method A and the winding method B are combined. The flat rubber belt built into the stocking-like supporter is configured to be a belt shape with a width of, for example, 20 mm to 60 mm, in which a flat rubber belt with a width of about 2 mm to 6 mm is attached to a net cloth-like rubber cord with a width of about 1 mm.
Using the wrapping method A, for example, a flat rubber belt having a width of about 2 mm to 6 mm is made into a net-like rubber cord or net-like belt having a width of about 20 mm to 60 mm, and the wrapping of A is started by dividing the net-like rubber belt at the back of the waist, crossing it at three points at the front of the thighs, the back of the knees, and the front of the shins, and wrapping it from the back of the waist to the front of the thighs, crossing it at the back of the knees, crossing it again at the front of the shins, and finishing at the feet or the soles (30).
The second wrapping method of B is a combination of wrapping method A and wrapping method B, in which the net-like belt is divided in front of the abdomen and crossed at three places: the lower back waist, the kneecaps, and the soles of the legs. The two elastic cords in the front part of the abdomen are wrapped around the lower back waist and crossed at the kneecaps. The crossing part of the belt at the kneecaps is divided into upper and lower parts just before the kneecap to avoid the kneecap, and is returned to one piece after passing the kneecap. The kneecap part is opened to allow cooling, and is crossed again at the soles of the legs. This is a combination of wrapping method A and wrapping method B, in which the wrapping ends at a common place on the foot or sole (30).

FIG. 9 illustrates a structure in which two sets of flat rubber net belts are wound and built in using two winding methods A and B built into a stocking-like supporter.
This is a device to treat chronic, severe pain in the knee joints of elderly people. By using a net-like rubber belt that allows for two types of exercise therapy, one for extending the knee and one for shortening the knee as shown in Figure 9, blood can be circulated continuously for a long period of time with weak pressure without putting strain on the body.
For example, in FIG. 9, the flat rubber belt built into the stocking-like supporter is a flat rubber belt or string belt with a width of about 2 mm to 6 mm, and a net-like rubber string with a width of about 1 mm is glued together to suit each person, and wound in a belt shape in the shape of a figure eight.
As an example of the wrapping method shown in Figures 10 and 11, a flat rubber belt with a width of 3 mm to 7 mm is used as a net-like rubber belt with a width of about 20 mm to 40 mm. The beginning of wrapping is performed using the wrapping method of Figure 10, where the net-like rubber cord or belt is divided into two at the back of the waist and wrapped crosswise around three points at the front of the thigh, behind the knee, and in front of the shin. The two rubber cords in front of the knee are turned towards the back of the knee joint and crossed down behind the knee, then crossed again in front of the shin, and wrapped around the foot or sole at a common place for A and B.

The second wrapping of B starts using the wrapping method of Figure 11, where a net-like rubber belt is divided into two in front of the abdomen, brought down from the front of the abdomen to the back of the waist and crossed over each other. The two left and right belts are then crossed at the kneecap (40), and the cross part of the net-like belt at the kneecap is left open to allow cooling. The cross part is passed over the back of the shin and the sole of the shin (41), and the two pieces are combined to end at the ankle or sole of the foot (30), creating a combination of net-like rubber belt structures, ending at the sole of the foot or the ankle (30).
This is a stocking-like supporter exercise therapy tool incorporating two muscle training methods, A, which starts wrapping around the back of the waist, and B, which starts wrapping around the front of the abdomen. The stocking-like supporter has a wrapping method A that works when straightening the knee and B that works when shortening the knee, and the two belts A and B are fastened at a common place on the sole of the foot.
In treating the elderly, it is important to avoid strong treatment methods and to continue to send blood flow for a long time without resting using weak pressure. Since it takes a long time for pain in joints that have been left untreated for a long time to recover, it is important not to force the treatment by wearing it too tightly in an attempt to rush the treatment. If pain still occurs, this is a stocking-like supporter with two components, icing and muscle training, and a supporter with bags (31) for putting ice on the front and left and right sides of the knee next to the knee joint, which combines rubber bands in two configurations to relieve pain, and has both muscle training and icing functions A and B.

The elastic cord or belt on the waist part of A is wrapped around the waist, divided into two directions from the back of the waist, and passed crosswise at three places, the front of the thighs, the back of the knees, and the front of the shins, and connected from top to bottom. The elastic belt is passed crosswise at the front of the thighs, the back of the knees, and the front of the shins, and then connected in a circle to the belt on the sole of the foot or the back of the ankle, making it a stocking-like exercise therapy tool that uses a circular elastic cord or belt from the waist to the sole of the foot.
The elastic cord or belt on the abdomen part of B is divided into two directions and wrapped crosswise from the abdomen to the back of the waist.
This is a stocking supporter-like exercise therapy tool in which three points from the lower back to the kneecap and the sole of the shin are passed through a cross and connected from top to bottom, and a rubber string or belt is passed through the lower back, kneecap and sole of the shin and then connected in a circular shape to the sole belt or ankle, using a circular rubber string or belt from the abdomen to the sole of the foot.
As shown in Figure 9, the configuration of a stocking-type knee ice bag supporter (28) is described, which is made by combining the elastic band exercise therapy equipment of Figures 10 and 11 in two winding methods A and B inside a stocking-type knee supporter and attaching an ice bag to cool the knee.

The wrapping configuration of the exercise therapy equipment A is as follows:
The elastic band or belt around the waist, which starts wrapping around the back of the waist, is passed crosswise around three places, the front of the thighs, the back of the knees and the front of the shins, and the net-like elastic belt, which is connected from top to bottom, wraps around the belt around the soles of the feet and returns to the front of the shins, the back of the knees, the front of the thighs and the back of the waist, wrapping the belt around the back of the waist in a circle and connecting it again with a single belt, making it a stocking supporter exercise therapy tool.
The wrapping configuration of the exercise therapy equipment B is as follows:
Using the wrapping method of Figure 11, a net-like rubber belt is divided into two in front of the abdomen, brought down from the front of the abdomen to the back of the waist (39), and the two belts are crossed at the kneecap (40). The kneecap part is left open so that the cross part of the net-like belt at the kneecap can be cooled, and the kneecap part is passed through and the cross part is passed from the back of the calf to the sole of the shin (41). This is a stocking-like supporter exercise therapy device that uses a single circular rubber cord belt connected with a single belt. The belt A and B run from the shin to the ankle and sole of the foot (30) at a common location, and a member is provided in the front of the abdomen that can adjust the wrapping strength of the single net-like rubber belt.

The stocking-shaped supporter (28) in FIG. 9 is a supporter with ice bags (31) attached to the front and both sides of the knee, and is an exercise therapy tool that combines muscle training and icing treatment, with two adjustable elastic ice bags (31) made of A and B, housed inside the ice bag supporter (28).
The flat rubber belt built into the stocking-like supporter having the configuration of A is, for example, a single belt made by wrapping parallel rubber belts having a width of about 1 to 6 mm with an interval of about 2 mm between them from above the waist to the ankles. The single belt-like net-like rubber belt is made to be 20 to 50 mm wide and attached to a net-like rubber mesh to form a single belt-like net-like rubber belt.
The net-like rubber belt is attached to the net-like rubber belt and combined into a belt-like configuration. For example, using the wrapping configuration of Figure 8, a flat rubber belt with a width of about 1 mm to 6 mm is wrapped into a net-like rubber belt with a width of about 20 mm to 50 mm to form a single rubber belt. The net-like rubber belt is divided into two at the back of the waist using wrapping method A, which is then crossed in front of the thighs. The two left and right belts are then crossed again behind the knees and again in front of the shins, so that the shins or soles of the feet end at the two common places A and B.

A supporter constructed using the winding methods A and B in FIG. 9 may, for example, have a flat rubber net built into the supporter, which is constructed by attaching rubber belts about 1 mm to 6 mm wide in parallel at intervals of about 2 mm to a fine cloth-like rubber net, creating a 20 mm to 50 mm wide net-like rubber belt on a net-like rubber mesh, and then attaching several rubber belts in parallel to the net-like rubber cord, and using the winding method A in FIG. 10, a flat rubber belt about 1 mm to 6 mm wide is used as a net-like rubber belt about 20 mm to 50 mm wide. The start of winding is done by winding the rubber belt in two behind the waist using the winding method A, which starts by dividing the rubber belt into two parts behind the waist and turning them from the back of the waist, crossing them near the thighs and turning them down, and then crossing the two belts in front of the knees behind the knees, crossing them in front of the shins, and lowering them to the shins or soles of the feet, and ending at the common location (30) of both A and B.
A supporter configured with wrapping method B, for example, has a net-like flat rubber belt built into the supporter, which is made by attaching rubber belts with a width of about 1 mm to 6 mm in parallel to a fine cloth-like rubber net with an interval of about 2 mm between them, creating a net-like rubber belt with a width of 20 mm to 50 mm on the net-like rubber mesh, and then bonding several rubber belts in parallel to the net-like rubber cord to create the supporter. Using wrapping method B in FIG. 11, a flat rubber belt with a width of about 1 mm to 6 mm is used as a net-like rubber belt with a width of about 20 mm to 50 mm, and the start of wrapping is done by dividing the rubber belt into two in front of the abdomen using wrapping method B, wrapping the belt around the left and right sides in front of the abdomen, wrapping the belt around the lower back in a cross shape, and then crossing the two belts at the kneecap, crossing them at the back of the shin, and ending at the common location (30) of two parts A and B on the shin or sole of the foot.

As described above, A and B are supports (28) that combine two types of elastic bands and have ice (31) bags (31) for cooling the knee (27) in front and on both sides of the knee, allowing for flexible adjustment of icing therapy and exercise therapy.
This freely adjustable supporter is equipped with a knee cooling bag (31) that is combined with rubber bands of two configurations, A and B, and is capable of icing the knee by attaching an ice bag (31) to the side of the knee joint at the front and left and right locations (27) of the knee, and also serves as a muscle training supporter.
FIG. 9 shows a stocking-like therapeutic exercise device having a common shin and sole belt (30) at the end of two sets of belts A and B, and having muscle training and icing functions.

FIG. 9 shows a stocking-like knee supporter. Two devices, device A in FIG. 10 and device B in FIG. 11, are used to explain exercise therapy devices for muscle training using a supporter (28) with an ice bag for cooling the knee attached to a net-like stocking.
The tool in Figure 9 is a support incorporating two of the tool winding methods A and B in Figure 10 (A) and Figure 11 (B), and is made by attaching a net-like rubber belt to a rubber net. The flat rubber belt contained in the support is made of a belt with a width of about 1 mm to 4 mm, and is configured as if it is attached to a net-like rubber net with a thickness of about 1 mm. It is made of a net-like rubber belt with two sets of rubber strings wound in an eight-shape incorporated into the support, and the degree of tightening and loosening of the belt can be adjusted. The cross-shaped rubber strings that cross behind the knee are wrapped from the front of the knee to the back of the knee, and it is combined with a support that assists the movement of the knee joint by tightening around the knee as a stocking-like knee exercise therapy tool incorporating the two winding methods A and B.

Two sets of net-like belts, A and B, are attached in the shape of an eight inside a stocking-like supporter, and the two sets of elastic bands, A and B, cross at the kneecap and the back of the knee, making it possible to surely correct loosening of the ligaments of the knee joint. The net-like supporter has two sets of elastic bands, A and B, and can be used for muscle training, from the waist to the knee and leg to the ankle and shin, and ends at the foot or sole, where the strength is adjusted by winding around the foot. The net-like supporter has two sets of elastic bands, A and B, and ends at the foot or sole, where the strength is adjusted by winding around the foot or sole, making it possible to adjust the strength of the elastic bands.
Wrapping A only works when the knee is straightened, wrapping from the waist to the back of the knee, then around the shin, ankle and sole of the foot before returning to the waist. The supporter is designed so that it can be worn loosely for long periods of time so as not to put strain on the body, and so that a bag to put ice can be attached when pain occurs.
Wrapping B only works when bending the knee, and goes from the stomach in front of the body, over the biceps, to the muscle bundle at the back of the waist, to the kneecap, then around the back of the shin, to the sole of the foot, and back to the stomach.
This is a stocking-like exercise therapy tool with a structure in which the net-like elastic belt of the stocking is passed in an eight-shape around the biceps femoris muscle binding part at the lower back of the waist where the upper part of the biceps femoris is located, and the belt is used to hold the muscle in place.

The equipment in Figure 9 is a device that incorporates two components: a supporter (28) with bags (31) for putting ice attached to the front of the knee and to the sides of the knee joints (37) on both sides, and an elastic band that combines icing and muscle training. The knee-cooling bag (31) is attached to the knee part, making it a freely adjustable net-like device for exercise therapy in the form of stockings in Figure 9 that can be used for a long time to act to bend and straighten the knee.
In another configuration, the mesh rubber net band placed inside the supporter is made by arranging several thin flat rubber cords and attaching them to a mesh rubber net, and the number of bands inside the supporter can be increased or decreased in some areas; in type A, the mesh rubber net band is made inside the supporter from the shin to the upper thigh, crossing behind the knee and wrapping around in an eight shape; in type B, the left and right belts are passed through the muscle binding parts in the upper part of the thigh such as the biceps femoris, passed through the lower back part of the hip joint, crossed in an eight shape at the kneecap, and then fastened at the sole of the foot, making a common, adjustable, stocking-like exercise therapy tool that ends with the wrapping being completed with a common supporter (30) for both sets A and B.

The stocking-like supporter in Figure 9 is configured to incorporate two wrapping methods, A and B, which combine the functions of muscle training and icing. The stocking-like supporter is made up of two sets of elastic strings, and the two wrapping methods, A and B, are wrapped around both the waist and stomach from left to right and end at the soles of the feet. It is a stocking-like exercise therapy device that combines muscle training and icing.
After fixing the femoral head and acetabulum of the hip joint in the best position to increase blood flow, a loop (4) is provided on the upper waist part of the spiral spring (1) which is wrapped in an insulating material wrapped with thick vinyl tape or the like, and a loop (5) is provided on the lower side of the spiral spring (1) for attaching a thigh belt (3) to the upper part of the thigh.
It is also possible to use short brass spiral springs that improve femoral head necrosis in the hip joint by sandwiching the upper and lower spiral springs together and tightly clamping the top and bottom of the two springs together to prevent them from wobbling.

In addition, it is possible to use several spiral springs that do not match the warp by clamping them between the top and bottom of the two springs to prevent them from wobbling, and it is also possible to use several spiral springs stacked on top of each other.The number of spiral springs can be as few as one, and any number of springs that are bent in the same direction can be stacked on top of each other.
Figure 4 shows a circular therapeutic exercise tool consisting of three connected circular elastic cords: a circular elastic cord (9) for the waist area, a circular elastic cord (10) for the area above the knee, a circular elastic cord (12) for the knee area, and a circular elastic cord (13) for the area below the knee. The circular elastic cord (12) in front of the knee is wrapped around the back of the knee in the left-right direction, and the back of the knee is cross-tied with a hook-and-loop belt (11) or the like so that it can be easily removed. The area below the knee (13) is then tied around the shin or sole of the foot.

As shown in Figure 4, three circular elastic cords or belts are made. The first of the three circular elastic cords or belts is attached to the waist with an elastic cord or belt (9) attached to the waist. The second two middle elastic cords or belts (10) and (11) are wrapped around the back of the knee in the left-right direction and are attached by cross-tying the back of the knee with a hook-and-loop belt (12) or the like. The circular elastic cord or belt (10) in front of the knee and the elastic cord or belt (11) are wrapped around the back of the knee in the left-right direction. The third elastic cord or belt is connected at the sole of the foot and is a circular elastic cord or belt (13) tied at the ankle or sole of the foot.

The elastic cord or belt attached to the waist is divided into two directions from the back of the waist, and is passed through three places, the front of the thigh, the back of the knee, and the front of the shin, crossed from top to bottom, the elastic cord or belt at the knee part is crossed at the front of the thigh, and among the cross parts at the back of the knee and the front of the shin, the cross part at the back of the knee is tied detachably with a hook belt (12) or the like, and then the front of the shin is passed through the cross, and the circular elastic cord or belt is used from the waist to the sole of the foot, which is connected in a circular shape to the sole belt or the sole of the ankle.
As shown in Figure 4, a single rubber cord is wrapped around the back of the waist to the front, crossing it over the front of the thighs to make two rubber cords, and the two rubber cords are tied with a belt hook only at the crossed part behind the knee, and then crossed again in front of the shin. This is a stocking-like supporter with a built-in circular rubber cord, which is made by wrapping the single rubber cord around the ankle or sole of the foot and finishing off.

Figure 8 explains a stocking-like supporter that prevents slackening of the knee joint ligaments and relieves pain.
The stocking-like supporter in Figure 8 is configured so that two net-like rubber cords are crossed from the back of the waist to the front of the thigh, and a bag for putting ice on the knee is attached to the supporter as the two net-like rubber cords, which are then tied crosswise behind the knee, and the two rubber cords are crossed again in front of the shin, lowered, and wrapped around the ankle or the sole of the foot in a figure-8 shape to attach in a circular shape.

As shown in Figure 8, the three connected circular elastic cords consist of a circular elastic cord above the knee, a circular elastic cord at the knee, and a circular elastic cord below the knee. The circular elastic cord at the knee is wrapped around the back of the knee in the left and right directions, and the part below the knee is tied crosswise with a hook or the like so that it can be removed and removably, forming a stocking-like exercise therapy tool that is assembled at the shin or sole of the foot.

The knee joint may crack and pop, but the loose knee joint is not painful and allows normal movement.
In the early stages of knee osteoarthritis, X-rays often show no abnormalities in the knee joint, and the condition is often left untreated without the cause being identified.Although there is pain in the joint, there is no deformation, and the medical community has speculated that some kind of event is occurring as the cause of the discomfort and pain in the joint.
When I was young, I hurt my knee during a softball game and went to Sano Orthopedic Clinic, where they applied a compress to the affected area and helped it heal.
I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee about 15 years ago when I was about 58 years old. I didn't think it was knee arthritis, but I went to Otake Orthopedic Hospital in Yamanashi City and was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee by Dr. Mori Ryozo, the director, who touched my knee. I was shocked and in disbelief, and was given a pamphlet on how to live with osteoarthritis of the knee and was told how to live with it.
Until now, I thought I didn't have osteoarthritis of the knee.

After that, I went to Otake Orthopedic Hospital again because of the pain, and was examined by Dr. Mori Ryozo, who diagnosed me with osteoarthritis of the knee. However, I no longer have pain in my knee (at age 58).
In my case, after that, whenever I hurt my knee, I would apply a transdermal anti-inflammatory analgesic to my knee as a compress, and occasionally I would use the device shown in Figure 4 to make a set of elastic bands and wrap them around my knee in a figure eight shape starting from near my ankle, using these to perform exercise therapy, which I would repeat over and over again to relieve the pain.
This made me realize that knee joint cartilage does not decrease with age.
I noticed that by combining icing treatment, which involves cooling the knee joint with transdermal anti-inflammatory analgesics or ice, with strength training, bone spurs begin to form when osteoarthritis begins to develop, but the knee joint is formed in such a way that the growth rate of the bone spurs exceeds the deformation rate of the osteoarthritis, so knee joint cartilage does not decrease with age.
The first time I felt pain in my hip joint due to femoral head necrosis was when I felt a sharp pain near the biceps femoris muscle in my right leg while walking using exercise therapy equipment to strengthen the knee joint and a support.Now that I think about it, this was the first pain I felt, and I think it was the discomfort that signaled the onset of femoral head necrosis.

The pain occurred in a wide area on the inside of the left thigh when raising and lowering the thigh while driving a car, so the exercise therapy equipment for the back that had already been made was quickly redesigned with a spiral spring and mounting parts to increase blood flow to the femoral head in the lower back, and the spring was attached to the hip joint head and above the acetabulum to match the pain in the femoral head.
At this time, when I tried to raise and lower my painful left thigh, I was able to grasp the thigh part of my trousers and pull them up myself, and I no longer felt any pain in my thigh.
Since I was only moving between the clutch pedal and the brake pedal, the pain was not severe, but I could feel the effects of the spring exercise therapy on my left hip.
The next pain was like frozen shoulder in my left shoulder, and after about two days, pain developed in my right shoulder as well, but the pain went away after a while.

I experience pain every morning at the junction of the right skull and cervical vertebrae, but the pain goes away after a while.
After about a month, the head and neck pain decreased to about once a week.
The next symptom was widespread pain on the inside of the right thigh.
However, for the first time, I felt an uncomfortable pain in the femoral head at my hip joint, and the pain began to spread throughout my inner thigh, so I started wearing therapy exercise equipment with a stronger spring force.
I wore the equipment for about two days, but the installation was physically demanding so I took a break from wearing it.
After removing the exercise therapy equipment for two days, I no longer feel much pain when raising and lowering my legs.
However, just to be on the safe side, I put on the equipment and felt a strange sensation around my knees when bending, straightening or pulling up my legs, and since the incubation period for this disease is long and unknown, I decided to continue wearing weaker equipment for a while longer.

February 14th: After that, he continued to wear the low-intensity exercise therapy equipment every day.
I wore the exercise therapy equipment for about a month, every day from morning until I went to bed at night.
With a spiral spring attached to my waist as a therapeutic exercise device, I sat cross-legged and stretched and shortened my folded legs, raised and lowered both knees while sitting cross-legged, and leaned my body forward and up while sitting cross-legged, using the femoral heads and moving in the direction of the pain, and the pain gradually subsided and I felt more comfortable.

It has been about a month since I developed this illness, and I have been using the equipment every morning when I wake up, but today I would like to live without the equipment just for one day.
After removing the equipment, I felt a slight discomfort for a while, but that went away.
I plan to go to bed tonight, but I don't feel any discomfort in my hip joint.
Today is February 18th. It's been about a month since I had the neck pain, and although it doesn't hurt so much now, I still have pain in the mornings. The exercise therapy equipment I made to suit the pain in the femoral head area has been effective in attaching the spring to the hip joint head area and above the acetabulum. I have been getting in and out of a car or bending and straightening my legs every day from morning to night for over a month now, and the pain has really gone away.
I also experienced a strange sensation accompanied by pain that I had never felt before, so I made some equipment myself and am still wearing it.

I have pain in the back of my right thigh near the biceps.
Today is February 24th. Yesterday I felt a slight pain in my right biceps femoris. At the same time I also started to feel pain in my left biceps femoris, which wasn't so bad, so I decided not to wear any equipment today.
During my morning walk, I was able to walk much more easily than when I was wearing the equipment, and the pain in my biceps femoris in both legs was gone.
I now have no pain in my inner thighs and can put on jeans or underpants and move my thighs up and down without any pain.
Then, I wear the exercise therapy equipment every other day.

Since then, I have been wearing the exercise therapy equipment every other day.
I wore the exercise therapy equipment all day today, and when I took it off in the evening, I felt numbness in the toe of my right foot for the first time.
Today is March 4th, and I'm going to start wearing the equipment every other day for a week and see how it goes.
Today is March 9th, and I am still wearing the elastic band exercise therapy equipment every other day. Today is March 14th, and I did not use the equipment.
The patient alternates between wearing the spiral spring and rubber belt exercise therapy equipment every other day.
March 30th This morning I had a pain in the base of my neck, but the pain went away a while after I woke up.
As of May, the femoral head of the hip joint is stable and there is no discomfort.
The more frequently I used the knee joint ligament strengthening brace, the more discomfort I felt in my muscles, but this was relieved by using a loose-fitting exercise therapy device with elastic bands.

My knee joint is feeling good after using the elastic exercise therapy equipment for a while now.
On May 26th, I removed the elastic band exercise therapy equipment and was not wearing any equipment.
In the evening, I felt a pain in the head of my right hip joint that I had never felt before, and I was worried, but I was about to go to bed, so I didn't feel any pain and just rested.
When I woke up the next morning, I felt some discomfort in my hip joint, so by the evening I tried on a hip spring exercise therapy device for the first time in a long while, and the discomfort had completely subsided.
I had not been using exercise therapy equipment regularly, so I realized that wearing the equipment regularly is important for the hip joint.

On May 29th, I was fitted with an exercise therapy device made up of four spiral springs on my hip joint.
On June 3rd, I fell at a customer's entrance and hit my right kneecap on the corner of the stairs, hurting it. The pain reached down to the base of the thigh, and was so severe it resembled the symptoms of femoral head necrosis. At that time, I had a rubber band for knee exercise therapy, so I used ice I had on hand to thoroughly cool the area and used exercise therapy in combination. The pain in the base of the thigh subsided in about two hours, but the pain in the knee disappeared after about two days of thorough ice cooling, and I continued to use ice after that.
The injury on his right knee was no longer visible by June 10th.

On July 23rd, I hit my right kneecap on the corner of a staircase and was injured. Although there is still a step in the kneecap, it has completely healed.
It is really important to cool the area thoroughly with ice immediately after the injury, but it can be very difficult.
Today is July 24th, and today I have not used any hip joint exercise therapy equipment. That specially manufactured equipment made of stacked spiral springs with strong resilience applies a lot of force to the hip joint, and although the pain has gone away, it puts a lot of strain on my body, so I would rather not use it if possible.
On October 29th, I had an exercise therapy device made of four spiral springs fitted to my hip joint, and I am currently free of pain.
On October 30th, an exercise therapy device made of four spiral springs was attached to the left hip, and for the half day, an exercise therapy device made of four spiral springs was attached to the left hip.
In the evening, remove the mainspring.

November 18th This is an exercise therapy tool that I have tested and proven on my own body for 48 years, and it effectively strengthens and restores ligaments while walking in my daily life, suppresses inflammation, and prevents the onset of osteoarthritis of the knee.
November 23rd: Today I felt a strange pain in my right hip joint, so I continued to wear an exercise therapy device made of four spiral springs until the evening.
November 25th: Today I had a dull pain in my hip joint, so I put on an exercise therapy device made of four spiral springs.
November 28th: I used the exercise therapy equipment again today and the pain subsided.
On December 7th, I started to feel pain in my knee joint, so I wrapped a net-like belt around my shin, behind my knee, and around my waist.
December 8th: The pain in my knee joint continues, so today I applied a transdermal anti-inflammatory painkiller to my knee and wore the net belt shown in Figure 12.
On December 14th, the pain in my knee had subsided, so I applied surgical tape over the patella of my left knee. On December 15th, the pain I felt while exercising my knee joint, which I had experienced on the Gatten program, recurred, so I started ice therapy on my knee, and the pain went away.
March 18th, 73 years old. The ligaments in my knee joint have loosened and the cartilage between the upper femur and tibia of the knee joint is slipping and rubbing against each other, so I tried wrapping a net-like belt made of six flat rubber belts joined together horizontally, overlapping one side of double-sided tape around the ankle, wrapping the tape around the back of the knee in a figure eight shape, and wrapping the end of the tape around the ankle. I wore this as an exercise therapy tool for about three days.
I think it will get better in a day or two as usual.

Aging is a troublesome thing; my joints heal slowly, whereas when I was younger they recovered quickly.
The net-like flat rubber belt was attached only during the day, and was removed after a few days.
In the morning, I applied surgical tape vertically from the top to the bottom of my knee joint.
It's stable now.
June 3rd Update: I hit my kneecap on the corner of the stairs at the front door and fractured my patella. The most important thing to do at this time is to immediately apply ice to the affected area and start strength training.
If possible, treat the injury on the spot. In my case, I had ice in my food truck so I was able to treat the injury right away.
On the day of the accident, I had the strength training exercise therapy equipment shown in Figure 4 with me, so I was able to treat the injury right away. However, it is best not to walk around town, for example on the stairs at a station, but to apply ice to the injury, rest, and wait for a rescue vehicle.
In my case, while wearing strength training exercise therapy equipment, the severe pain subsided within half a day because I was only working in the car and did not put strain on my knees when driving.
