JPH09322907A - Reformer for bowlegs - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reformer for bowlegs with which bowlegs can be reformed without applying any pain to a patient. SOLUTION: The bottom parts of 1st and 2nd air bags 1 and 2 are coupled by a coupler 5. One leg is inserted into an inserting port 3 of the 1st air bag 1, and the other leg is inserted into an inserting port 4 of the 2nd air bag 2. When the 1st and 2nd air bags 1 and 2 are expanded by supplying air from a compressor 8 with pressure, the 1st and 2nd air bags 1 and 2 are bonded each other and, since their bottom parts are coupled by the coupler 5, stress to rotate them outside is generated. Therefore, twist force for reforming the bowlegs while softly holding them between the 1st and 2nd air bags 1 and 2 can be provided and, at the same time, soft pointillage effects can be provided.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a corrector for an O-leg that applies a pneumatic force to both legs to correct the O-leg.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The present applicant has previously proposed an O-leg corrector (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-337148). In this product, the ankles of both legs are fitted into the recessed parts that are recessed on both sides of the block, and the arches are brought into contact with the protrusions that are projected on the lower parts of both sides, and both legs are kept in that state. It is designed to be fastened with a belt. This has the advantage that the O-leg can be corrected with a simple structure.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, if the belt is tightly fastened, the patient suffers,
However, if the fastening force is weak, there is a problem that the O leg correction force cannot be expected so much.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an O-leg corrector capable of effectively correcting the O-leg without causing pain to the patient.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a first air bag 1 having an insertion opening 3 into which one leg A is inserted, and a second air bag having an insertion opening 4 into which the other leg B is inserted. 2 and a connecting body 5 that connects the bottoms of the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 to each other, and pressurizes air into the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2. In the inflated state, the surfaces of the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 that face each other are joined to each other, and reaction forces that rotate outwards are generated.

[0006]

According to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, both legs A and B are first
By holding the air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 and applying a soft twisting force to both legs A and B, the O leg can be effectively corrected without causing pain to the patient.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of an O-leg corrector,
2 is a perspective view of a patient who is using an O-leg corrector, FIG.
(A), (b) is a front view in use of the O-leg corrector.

In FIG. 1, the O-leg corrector is a first
The air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 of FIG. The first air bladder 1 and the second air bladder 2 are annular and have insertion ports 3 and 4 for inserting legs, respectively. Further, the bottom portions of the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 are connected to each other by a belt-shaped connecting body 5.

The first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 are provided with plugs 6 and 7, respectively. Reference numeral 8 is a compressor, and a tube 9 for pneumatic feeding extends. The tube 9 is bifurcated in the middle, and a cock 10 detachably connected to the stoppers 6 and 7 is provided at the tip of each tube.

The O-leg corrector is constructed as described above, and the method of use will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the patient lies on a bed or the like, inserts one leg A into the insertion port 3 of the first air bag 1 and inserts the other leg B into the insertion port 4 of the second air bag 2. insert.

FIG. 3A shows the initial state.
In this state, air is not press-fitted into the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2, and they are deflated. Cook 1
Connect 0 to plugs 6 and 7 to drive compressor 8
When air is press-fitted into the air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 of
The air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 gradually inflate. FIG.
(B) shows a state in which the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 are inflated.

As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 are separated from each other in the deflated state, but when air is pressed in and inflated, the air bag shown in FIG. As shown, the mutually facing surfaces of the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 are joined together. When joined in this way, since the bottoms of both are joined by the joining body 5, reaction forces are generated that rotate outwards as the two swell (arrow N
), This reaction force becomes a twisting force to correct the O-leg.

The one leg A and the other leg B are given a torsional force while being softly held by the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2, so that the patient is not hurt. You can straighten your O-legs. Moreover, since the legs A and B are held by the air pressure, a soft acupressure effect is imparted together with the twisting force. When the treatment is completed, the cock 10 is removed from the stoppers 6 and 7, the air in the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 is evacuated, and the air is removed from the legs A and B.

The above treatment may be continuously applied for a long time, or may be repeated a plurality of times at intervals. Further, the lengths of the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 can be freely set, and in the above-described embodiment, the length is only for holding the shin, but it is held near the thigh. May be length.

[0015]

According to the present invention, a first air bag 1 having an insertion opening 3 for inserting one leg A and a second air bag 2 having an insertion opening 4 for inserting the other leg B are provided. First bladder 1
And a combined body 5 for connecting the bottom portions of the second air bladder 2 to each other, and the first air bladder 1 and the second air bladder 2 are inflated by pressurizing air into the first air bladder 1 and the second air bladder 2. Since the surfaces of the air bladder 1 and the second air bladder 2 that face each other are joined to each other so that reaction forces that rotate outward from each other are generated,
Both legs A and B are softly held by the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 and a torsion force is applied to both legs A and B to effectively correct the O leg without causing pain to the patient. be able to. In addition to the correction effect of the O-leg, a soft acupressure effect can be simultaneously provided.
