Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a low back pain correction belt used for prevention and treatment of low back pain.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As one means for treating low back pain, there is a method of attaching a belt (belt) to the low back pain. As this kind of belt, for example, a waist band (described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-78943) in which an auxiliary material having a cushioning property and a supporting property is provided in a substantially central portion of a main body made of a stretchable material, or is wound around the waist part. There has been proposed a health belt (described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-28222) in which a plate-shaped treatment tool made of far-infrared radiation ceramic is movably provided on a belt body.

However, the main purposes of using such a belt are: (a) correction of displacement of the lumbar spine, (b) reduction of the weight burden on the lumbar region, (c) stabilization of the pelvis by tightening the pelvis, and (d) ) The protection of the lower back is mentioned, and the conventional back pain belt adjusts each function of the above-mentioned (a)-(d) according to the state of the back pain of the disease.

[0004]

In addition to the above two examples, a wide variety of belts have been proposed, but these belts are intended to simply stabilize the waist and reduce the weight load. It only indirectly relieves back pain. In other words, conventional belts only relieve pain by stabilizing the waist and expect healing by self-cleaning.

By the way, in recent years, one of the main causes of back pain is that the distance between the iliac bones is too narrow as shown in FIG. 2 or too wide as shown in FIG. Became clear.

[0006] Therefore, the present inventor speculates that if the iliac deviation, which causes back pain, can be corrected with a belt, the back pain can be basically cured, and various experiments are conducted to prove this. It was

As a result, when the iliac space is narrow as shown in FIG. 2, the iliac space is compressed from the left and right rear of the lumbar region, and when the iliac space is wide as shown in FIG. Found that the iliac space can be adjusted to a normal value (predetermined width) by compressing the iliac bones from the left and right front of the waist, and back pain can be reduced extremely efficiently. The present invention has been proposed based on this finding, and an object thereof is to newly provide a low back pain correction belt that can fundamentally heal low back pain by adjusting the iliac interval.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the low back pain correction belt (1) according to the present invention is provided with appropriate elasticity and surrounds the iliac (H) (H). Belt body (2) detachably attached to the waist (W)
And a pair of outer parts arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the belt main body (2) with a space therebetween and for compressing the iliac (H) (H) from the front left and right or the rear left and right of the waist (W). Band-shaped tightening member (3) made of elastic material protruding in one direction
It is characterized by consisting of (3) and.

In particular, the pair of band-shaped tightening members (3)
(3) may be movably disposed at a desired position on the outer peripheral surface of the belt body (2).

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This back pain correction belt (1)
Is a belt-shaped belt body (2) attached to the waist (W)
And two tightening members (3) and (3) protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the belt body (2).

The belt body (2) may be a stretchable material or a non-stretchable material, but it is preferable to use a nylon cloth having excellent breathability. Further, the stretchable material may be used only in the intermediate portion and the non-stretchable material may be used in the other portions. Belt fasteners (2a) and (2b) which can be locked to each other are sewn on both front and back ends of the belt body (2) to form a belt body (2).
The flat portions (3a) and (3b) of each tightening member (3) are sewn to the outer peripheral surface of the fastening member (3) at intervals of a half circumference of the waist.

The tightening member (3) is preferably made of a stretchable material having waist strength and durability. For example, as the tightening member (3), as shown in FIG. Division (3
It is possible to use a planar T-shaped natural rubber in which the band-shaped body (3c) is projected from the boundary portion of (a) and (3b). Surface fasteners (3d) (3e) that can be engaged with each other are attached to the tip ends of the strips (3c) (3c) of the fastening members (3) (3).
Are sewn or glued. Next, the therapeutic and preventive action of low back pain by the low back pain correction belt (1) will be described. In the case of a patient having a narrow iliac (H) (H) interval, as shown in FIG. 2, a pair of strips (3c) (3c)
Is stretched to secure an appropriate tightening force (restoring force), and the surface fasteners (3d) (3e) are locked so as to overlap the belt main body (2) locked on the abdominal side. By the tightening force of the stretched tightening members (3) (3), the iliac (H)
(H) is pressed from the dorsal side so as to be pushed in the direction of the arrow (X), and the interval between the iliac (H) and (H) is expanded to a normal value.

In the case of a patient whose iliac (H) (H) space is wide, as shown in FIG. 3, the strips (3c) (3c)
While stretching the surface fastener (3d) so that it overlaps with the belt body (2) locked at the back side (upper side in FIG. 3).
Lock (3e). Stretched tightening member (3)
By the tightening force of (3), the iliac (H) (H) is pressed so as to be pushed from the ventral side in the direction of the arrow (Y), and the iliac (H)
The interval of (H) is narrowed to a normal value. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the belt body (2) is locked on the ventral side of the human body (downward in FIG. 4), and the fastening members (3) and (3) are attached to the back side (FIG. 4) as in FIG. It may be locked at (upper middle).

As described above, according to the low back pain correction belt (1), the waist is stabilized by the belt body (2) similarly to the conventional example, and the tightening action of the tightening members (3) and (3) is performed. Diagonal rear part with respect to the waist (W) (reference A in FIG. 2)
Alternatively, it is possible to give a vector of force with the oblique front portion (symbol B in FIG. 3) as the fulcrum. As a result, the iliac (H) (H) is pushed forward or backward, and the iliac (H) (H) interval can be adjusted to open or close.
The cause of low back pain can be fundamentally removed, and low back pain can be treated and prevented very efficiently.

The flat portion (3b) of one tightening member (3) sewn from the central portion of the belt body (2) and the flat portion of the other tightening member (3) adjacent thereto. (3a)
May be detachable from the belt body (2) by a surface fastener (not shown) without being sewn. By making the strips (3c) and (3c) stretchable, the slack that occurs in the flat portions (3a) and (3b) can be corrected.

Next, another example of the fastening member will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. Since the hook-and-loop fastener and the like are attached at substantially the same places as in the above-described example, the same reference numerals are used in each drawing. The description is omitted.

The tightening member (5) shown in FIG. 5 (a) is formed by sewing flat portions (5a) (5b) of a rubber plate or a rubber tube to the belt body (2) with a slight gap. . In this example, since the flat portions (5a) and (5b) are sewn to the belt body (2) at intervals, a pair of iliac (H)
(H) can be tightened widely and evenly.

In the tightening member (6) shown in FIG. 5 (b), the band-shaped portion (6c) at the boundary between the flat parts (6a) and (6b) is doubled, so that the tightening member (3) ( The tightening action is stronger than 5) and the durability is excellent.

The tightening member (7) shown in FIG. 6 (a) is integrally formed at the closing portion (7a) and formed into a substantially annular shape.
As shown in (b), the belt body (2) is inserted into the sheath portion (8) arranged along the longitudinal direction. That is, the fastening member (7) is movably attached to the sheath portion (8). In this example, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), since the fastening member (7) can be displaced in the direction in which the closing portion (7a) is stretched, the fastening member (7) is not loosened, The iliac (H) (H) can be clamped very efficiently.

The tightening member (9) shown in FIG. 7 is a sheath member (1) movably attached to a desired position of the belt body (2).
0) and the tightening member (9) is the sheath member (10).
It is mounted so that it can be moved inside. Also, sheath member (10)
There is a sponge (1
1) is stuck. Therefore, the sheath member (10) is adjusted to the optimum position according to the body shape of the patient, and the sponge (11) is made to follow the curve of the lumbar region (W), so that the iliac (H)
The interval adjustment of (H) can be performed more reliably.

The surface fasteners (2a) (2b)
In place of (3d) and (3e), other locking means, for example, male and female hooks fitted to each other, as well as buttons, strings and the like can be used.

[0022]

As described above, the low back pain correcting belt according to the present invention can be brought into close contact with the waist by the belt body, so that the waist circumference can be stabilized in the same manner as the conventional example. The interval between the iliac bones can be adjusted by locking the tightening member while stretching it on the ventral or dorsal side of the waist.

For example, when the user bends forward and feels pain in the lower back, the belt-shaped body of the fastening member is locked on the ventral side to open the iliac space, and when the patient bends backward and feels pain, the belt-shaped body of the fastening member. It can be used according to the symptoms of low back pain, such as locking the body on the back side and closing the iliac bones.

As a result, it is possible to correct the displacement and distortion of the iliac bone, which is the cause of low back pain, and restore the iliac interval to a normal value.
It can cure back pain extremely efficiently and fundamentally. Also, when the iliac is about to be displaced, it can be worn to prevent back pain.
