            Lumbar disc herniation, lumbar disc herniation, and lumbar load reducing devices that are attached to the body as functional aids to improve lumbar pain and other symptoms.

      Crutches are known as weight maintenance function aids.

Japanese Patent Application 2000-287757

                The crutches are inconvenient when performing normal daily activities, and the usage state is obvious at a glance, and the mental burden is large.

                In the conventional product, when the brace is temporarily divided into two, there is a problem that the scissor holder 1 falls.

                Since the conventional scissor holder 1 and the support column 2 were fixedly coupled, damage to the joint between the support column 2 and the support column receiver 3 could not be avoided due to the torsional stress of the upper body.

                The conventional splitting of the orthosis 2 was performed at the joint between the support column 2 and the support column receiver 3, but it was very difficult at the time of re-bonding the attachment position under the belt of the pants.

                The conventional support 2 has a straight shape and does not conform to the shape of the side of the chest, and lacks adhesive compactness.

                The conventional lumbar vertebra band has a structure in which the entire lumbar region is tightened, and there is a defect in which the lumbar part slides down due to a load from above with the passage of time.

                Since conventional products used metal parts, the metal detection gates at the airport had to be removed and attached.

                In the present invention, the crutch can be worn on the lumbar pelvis belt 4 worn on the pelvis, and is made to be a body-worn type.

          The heel support 1 was provided with a fall prevention string 1d and a stabilization string 1e.

                The two-divided connection portion is made by the saddle holder 1 and the support column 2, and the joining method is a floating fitting type.

                The shape of the column 2 is aligned with the alignment of the side of the chest and the adhesion is enhanced. The shape of the tip of the column lower portion 2a is a convex arc shape and has sufficient strength to withstand the load from the upper part. The structure rubs smoothly.

                The support column 3 is structured to have a back-and-forth swing margin of about 3 degrees so as not to be damaged by swinging the upper body back and forth, and the contact surface with the support column 2 has a concave arc shape.

                The lumbar pelvic belt 4 is composed of a role-sharing composition in accordance with the position and shape around the pelvis, and is provided with a non-stretchable tough belt 4a for tightening the waist that does not get over the pelvis at the top, and the pelvic iliac portion at the bottom The structure has a stretchable flexible band 4c that can be reliably grasped.

                All the materials used were non-metallic, and synthetic resin synthetic fiber cotton was used.

              Conventionally, the lumbar traction that has been received on the bed is received by the bilateral support 1 with the upper half body heavy load applied to the lumbar vertebra in the standing state, and is transmitted to the pelvis via the strut 2 strut receiver 3 lumbar pelvis belt 4 The traction effect that reduces the load on the lumbar spine can be received in daily life.

      Since the fall-preventing straps 1d and 1e are provided on the heel support 1, it is easy to reconnect the appliance in two parts.

      Since the two-split connection part is made by the rod holder 1 and the support column 2, the split reconnection becomes easy, and the support column 3 is prevented from being damaged.

              Lightweight and compact adhesion is achieved, and the actual mounting condition is not visually recognized.

The lumbar pelvic belt 4 can be used stably without slipping even if it receives a load from above.

By achieving non-metallic properties, it is easy to pass through metal detection gates at airports, etc., and lumbar traction can be performed at all times.

The saddle receiving device 1 is a strut receiving portion 1a for receiving the upper body weight, and a prop that is in close contact with the front and rear of the rod so as not to be displaced forward and backward, and transmits a U-shaped semicircular arc-shaped displacement preventing portion 1b to the bottom The connection between the support column 1c and the support column 2 provided with the connection unit 1c is a fitting structure that can be rotated in accordance with the movement of the arm and the torsion of the upper body to prevent torsional stress from being transmitted to the support column 2 and temporarily. When the connection with the support column 2 is temporarily removed, which is a place where the brace is to be divided, the fall prevention cord 1d is provided on the right side of the slip prevention portion 1b. A stability string 1e that connects a stabilization string 1e that stabilizes the saddle support 1 between the left and right U-shaped rear ends and the fall prevention string 1d that passes from the U-shaped front end to the back of the left U-type front end. In order to make it easy to attach and detach, it is possible to slide without fixing the connection with the fall prevention cord 1d. And state.

The strut 2 is a hollow rigid synthetic resin tube for strength and weight reduction.
2 is a shape that matches the alignment of the side of the chest of the wearer in order to improve adhesion, and the support column 2 has a mechanism that absorbs movements such as twisting and bending forward of the upper body to connect the hip and waist. The column lower part 2a provided between the rod receiver 1 and the column receiver 3 can be easily connected to and removed from the column connection part 3a of the column receiver 3 and has a structure with sufficient strength to cope with back and forth deflection. Thus, the contact surface with the column support 3 is formed in a convex arc shape so that it can be smoothly transmitted at any angle.

        The column support 3 receives the column 2 at the column connection part 3a, but is attached and detached with a one-touch type in which the column 2 is inserted from above. The contact surface with the support column 2 has a concave arc shape and has a retaining pin 3b so that the support column 2 does not separate after being combined with the support column receiver 3. The lumbar pelvic belt 4 is provided with a flat connection surface fastener 3c for attachment to the lumbar pelvic belt 4 and has a connection area of 50 square centimeters or more.

The lumbar pelvic belt 4 has a non-stretchable tough belt 4a with a width of about 3 cm for tightening the waist at the upper part of the pelvis at the upper part, a pelvis containing band 4b with a width of about 10 cm at the lower part, and the left and right pelvis of the pelvis containing band 4b About 16cm of the iliac part
A flat connecting surface fastener 4d for connecting the column support 3 is formed by forming a stretchable flexible band 4c and a shape that securely grasps the upper part of the pelvic iliac bone so that it does not shift downward due to a load from above. By providing the elastic flexible band 4a so as to cross the elastic flexible band 4c up and down, the planar connection surface fastener 4d that receives the upper body heavy load transmitted from the column support 3 and transmits it to the upper part of the pelvic iliac bone is The lumbar pelvic belt 4 is attached to the lumbar part by a plane connecting surface fastener 4e, which has a sufficient structure in the direction and the front-rear direction and is capable of finely adjusting the mounting position of the column support 3.

The inventor fell into gait failure, and as a result of MRI examination, he was sentenced to have a surgical operation for lumbar disc herniation. Repeated trial trials to see if there is a device that can be pulled while wearing the body and walking. While trying to wear it during a 70-minute commute, the symptoms improved in about 6 months. Life is now possible.

Even after symptom improvement, he wears this equipment as a precaution during long-distance walking, traveling and transporting heavy objects.

There are many people who suffer from gait insufficiency, low back pain, etc., and subjects whose lumbar traction is effective for symptom improvement can improve symptoms in daily life.
