Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

【0001】

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a sitting examination table used when examining and treating affected areas such as pain, stiffness, deformity, etc. occurring in the neck, spinal column, lower back, etc.

【0002】

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when pain, stiffness, or deformity occurs in the neck, shoulders, spinal column, or lower back, the pain and stiffness in the affected areas are alleviated and the pain is eliminated. For this reason, they receive treatments such as pine surgery, acupressure, and mechanical deformity correction. When examining and treating such affected areas, the patient is placed face down on a flat examination table, and the therapist, who is positioned on the side of the examination table, examines the area from the neck to the lower back of the prone patient. While pressing the body surface where the stiffness or deformation is occurring, use your fingertips or therapeutic instruments to find out which part of the body, such as the muscles, nerves, or skeleton, is causing the pain, stiffness, and deformation. We aim to comprehensively treat the affected area and areas related to the affected area, and also prevent the occurrence of secondary diseases related to the affected area.

【0003】

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, when the body surface of the affected area is pressed while the patient is lying prone on the examination table, or when a load is applied to the affected area of the patient, the patient does not react to the pressure or load. Due to the increase in abdominal pressure, the patient inevitably shifts his or her posture to the side and becomes unstable, making it difficult to identify the affected area under pressure, and as a result, there is a drawback that accurate diagnosis and treatment cannot be performed. In addition, there have been problems in that it is difficult for a therapist to examine or treat a patient who is lying prone while positioned on the side of the examination table.

[0004] The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to provide a seating base with an inclined upper surface, and a seat seated on the seating base at a position above the inclined lower end of this seating base. Equipped with an upper body support plate that receives and supports the patient's abdominal side, the patient's posture is stable when sitting in a natural posture facing the upper body support plate and in a sunken state, while preventing excessive intra-abdominal pressure. This prevents the body from becoming unsteady during examinations and treatments.
To provide a sitting examination table on which accurate examination and treatment can be performed, and on which a therapist can easily confirm the affected area from the back of the patient.

【0005】

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a base frame 12 and a seating base that is erected at a position near one end of the base frame 12 and whose upper surface is inclined from one end to the other end. 14, which is located near the upper end of the inclined lower end of the upper surface of the seating table 14, is arranged to cross the upper surface of the seating table 14, and receives the abdominal side of the patient seated on the seating table 14. It is composed of a seated examination table 10 comprising an upper body support board 16 for supporting the patient on the body. Further, arm frames 42 are provided at both sides of the upper body support plate 16.
may also be provided. Further, the base frame 12 is provided with footboards 52 on both sides of the end portion of the base frame 12 so as to stabilize the posture when seated on the upper surface of the seating base 14 facing the upper body support plate 16. It is also possible to become.

[Operation] When using the seated examination table of the present invention to examine affected areas within the patient's neck, back, lumbar region, etc., the patient should face the upper body support and keep their knees aligned. The user sits on the seating base in a natural state, and in that state, his or her face and upper abdomen are brought into contact with the upper body support plate. The patient's upper body is placed on the upper body support plate which is arranged so as to be inclined diagonally downward and intersect with the upper surface of the seat. By abutting and supporting the patient's lower back and lower back, the patient's posture is stabilized by sitting down on the seat, and the patient's posture does not shift or sway even if the therapist presses on the patient's back or lower back. The therapist can easily examine and treat the affected area from the patient's back without moving.
