Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a device that gives a sound effect to the human body, and a device used with the device, such as a storage media such as tape cassettes or compact discs.

The invention is based on three basic principles in music therapy. That is, low ( Deep) tones make you feel relaxed, and high tones make you feel nervous. Rhythmic music makes you feel active, while non-demic music makes you feel passive. It is said that high pitches make you feel active, while low pitches make you feel active. It makes you feel passive.

Although these basic principles are general, there are exceptions. The basic principle is to This has been recognized based on therapeutic observation over a period of time.

Music therapy is based on music received by the ear through the acoustic channels of perception.

The present invention shows that music transmitted directly to the human body through vibration receivers within the nervous system is It will have a great effect, i.e. it will give you a great deal of muscle relaxation. It is based on what will happen. Combining acoustic and photographic perception into a general experience By combining these methods, the present invention can alleviate both physical and mental pain of patients. Influencing therapeutic effects are obtained. This combinatorial effect is simplified herein. For this reason, we will call it vibration-acoustics.

The vibro-acoustic principle allows sound to be best transmitted to both the ears and the body. The assumption is adopted. For acoustics, use one or more good speaker cabinets. This can be done by a vignette or a headset. Regarding the vibration part According to the present invention, sound is efficiently transmitted from the loudspeaker through the air to the human body. equipment is provided.

The characteristic part of the device that imparts an acoustic effect to the human body is the characteristic part of the storage medium. The same will appear in the claims that follow.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates an apparatus according to the invention.

Figure 2 shows a partially cutaway part of the device that provides low-frequency acoustic effects to the human body. Illustrated in the figure.

6, 5 and 6 respectively show the second, third and fourth parts of the apparatus shown in FIG. 2 illustrates an alternative embodiment of .

Figure 4 is an example of a block diagram of the operating unit included in Figures 6, 5, and 6. It shows.

FIG. 1 shows a human body 1 placed on a closed box 6. In FIG. In box 6 At least one acoustic lower is provided in which the upper part of the human body 1 is located. A loudspeaker 8 is arranged, which is directed towards.

The portion 10 located opposite the loudspeaker 8 is designed to allow good air passage. It is. The top 11 of the box 6 forms the bottom of the pine tress as shown. can be made, for example, from plywood, and the acoustic lower is made in the top part 11. La To prevent damage to the loudspeaker 8, install the protective grill 12 across the open lower It can be placed. To attenuate sound dissipation into the surroundings and prevent acoustic short circuits. Therefore, the base or box 6 is constructed as a closed box. The back tensioner 9 is It can be made from foam plastic or foam rubber with closed cells. Air Mata is a matte tray filled with a lightweight method of plastics (for example, product name Styrobo). Also possible. As mentioned above, there is a pine tress or backrest in the backrest 9. A corresponding area 10 is arranged. The region 10 has a perforated shape like the open lower part. It can also be made of foamed plastic with large open cells that allow air to pass through. It is also possible to fill it.

When using foamed plastics, it is especially supported by said protective grille. Therefore, it provides a certain degree of support capacity and at the same time provides a good air passage effect. disease The person is placed so that the part of his/her body that he/she wants to receive treatment is facing the open lower part and area 10. Ru. In this case, the diaphragm of the loudspeaker 8 is present in the open lower part and the region 10. connected to the body 1 through air. The backrest itself also has loudspeakers 8 and the body. Acts as a sealant to make the connections between 10 as efficient as possible . When the loudspeaker 8 is provided with a signal of appropriate frequency content and intensity The diaphragm moves and exposes the body to low frequency motion.

at least one audio amplifier 3 with at least two acoustic channels; output is connected to the loudspeaker 8, and at least one second output is connected to the loudspeaker 8. Connected to loudspeaker 2 for easy listening. The signal to amplifier 3 is e.g. supplied from a compact disc player or compact disc player 4 and a signal generator 5. be provided. The signal generator 5 delivers sinusoidal tones, impulses or other composite signals. It is designed to be The player 4 is a storage medium containing appropriate program contents. , for example tape cassettes or compact discs.

The storage medium may comprise two or more acoustic channels; At least one of the acoustic channels is 60-120Hz superimposed by the music The signal includes a low frequency signal, preferably in the frequency range of . the remaining residue of the storage medium; The acoustic channel, however, contains only pure music. the storage medium The body can be configured to provide stereo or quadruple music. Thus , said signal generator 5 actually consists of one or more storage medium channels. I want you to understand that you can make it happen. The amplifier includes the speaker 8. It is also possible to provide a low-pass filter (not shown) for this purpose.

Thus, said loudspeaker 8 has a pure frequency range of 30 to 120 Hz. Low frequencies are supplied or changed as a result of the music being output from loudspeaker 2. The sound that is played on the loudspeaker 8 is the loudspeaker Contains a frequency signal within the frequency range superimposed on the music that can also be heard on the I want you to understand that I am. In this case, the signal generator for amplifier 3 is This will mainly be player 4.

As a result of repeated tests, it appears that sound that spreads within the human body has the greatest effect. The vibration-acoustic frequency measured objectively and subjectively experienced ranges from 30 to 1. It has been determined that the frequency is between 20 Hz, preferably within the range of 40 to 9 Q Hz. It's clear. Particularly good results are obtained within the octave 40-80H2.

Outside of the 30-120 Hz frequency range, humans subjectively perceive no substantial vibrational effects. I don't feel the sound.

Therapeutic effects can be achieved by treating the patient in the most appropriate manner and also by using a vibrating loudspeaker (Fig. In the example shown, the loudspeaker 8 is located as close as possible and the loudspeaker that delivers the music. This can be achieved by placing it at a comfortable distance from the speaker 2. This treatment device was previously Also briefly mentioned are components that transmit sound within the vibration-acoustic frequency range. vibrating parts 6, 7, 8.10 and one or more of high-fidelity quality Several broadband loudspeaker cabinets or the frequency used A set of headphones for transmitting music adapted to the number, multi-channel increase It consists of a width gauge 3.

Here the amplifier 3 is sinusoidally oscillated and filtered via at least one channel. music is transmitted to the vibrating section 8. unfiltered (filtered) ) The music is sent via another channel to loudspeaker 2, which feeds the music. It will be done. Here the sound intensity is preferably determined by a conventional two-channel tape player 4. So, on one track of the tape cassette there is a pure tone for the music loudspeaker 2. Each of the multichannel tape players, which are the players on which music is recorded, You can make stepless changes on the channel. Music and low frequencies on other orbits Sound is recorded, for example a mixture with a sinusoidal signal. The sinusoidal signal is used in the present treatment system. A double recording technique called superimposed sine waves was developed for use with The signal generator 5 is supplied with a signal generator 5, which is supplied to a loudspeaker 8, individually adjusted for therapeutically effective low frequencies. However, the low frequency is It is assumed that it is not provided from 4 onwards.

As will be immediately understood, one loudspeaker 2 and one loudspeaker 8 Only two or more music loudspeakers 2 and two or more music loudspeakers are shown. It is also within the scope of the invention to use multiple low frequency loudspeakers 8. if If two or more loudspeakers 8 are used, a corresponding number of open lowers and It is necessary to provide a region 10 for each region.

Pre-recorded software is used and the player signal generator is also used for research and It is also desirable to provide one for typical medical procedures.

It has been discovered that it provides an anticonvulsant effect at a frequency of 40 Hz. child The anticonvulsant effect was so pronounced that the patient subsequently suffered from vibration-acoustic effects. Due to its effectiveness, I was able to receive physical therapy easily.

Regarding the opening angle of spasmodic limbs with and without music A control study was conducted. Results of being influenced by music and not being influenced by music A significant difference was observed with respect to the opening angle between the two results.

The device was also attempted to be used under the following conditions.

Rett syndrome (Rett syndrome)・So-called “mushishi” luck movements were often reduced. The patient was even able to sleep. It also has a noticeable relaxing effect. Admitted. (Retz syndrome is a common occurrence) Andreas R, MD, IJA (named after Mr. ett).

Autism: The patient who refused contact was very interested in the effects of vibration, so we The patient allowed the personnel to perform frequent skin contact/irritation. Reason As can be seen, a treatment plan using contact under vibro-acoustic influence gradually reduces the music. It became possible to weaken it or move it to a situation where the music was eliminated.

Convulsive state...The effect is the same as mentioned above, and is clear in the lower frequency region. Antispasmodic effects were observed.

At the same institution, vibration-acoustic effects are also being tried on people in different uncomfortable conditions. It was. In this case, the following was recognized.

Pain in the neck and shoulders...induced from the muscular rheumatism type or caused by a different cause. Such pain induced as a result of causal stress is caused by specific frequencies, particularly around 68 H. It was softened at the frequency of z. With up to 10 treatments of 30 minutes each It has been proven that it provides a lasting feeling of relaxation.

Released at a frequency of 50 Hz. Suffering caused by muscle tension Regarding pain, pain relief was observed over a long period of time by repeating the treatment. .

Menstrual disorders: such pain and premenstrual tension or the like are caused by certain frequencies, especially 5 It was demonstrated that release is possible using 2 Hz. In the "early" stage Treatment should be carried out daily and repeated 2 to 3 times once a week in intermediate stages. It was found that a longer-lasting effect could be obtained.

Asthma: By performing vibration-acoustic therapy at around 50 Hz, patients can It was observed that the effect of making it easier to remove sputum from the air passageway was obtained.

Intermittency in testing performed on patients in certain regions was observed.

Stress-related depression: Dramatically noticeable effects were observed after the first treatment, which lasted approximately 30 minutes. It was done. This noticeable effect is due to both the frequency (68Hz) and the music selection. It is. Successful treatment was terminated after 10 treatments.

During the final treatment, various frequency ranges and active music were used.

Exercise injury...Treatment yielded good results.

Both late stage patients after severe muscle trauma and surgery have a duration of about 6 minutes per frequency. The preparation responded reliably to treatment in the order of 40/60/80/60/40 Hz. sand That is, tense muscles and ligaments are relaxed, compared to without vibro-acoustic treatment. , stretching is now possible with less discomfort.

Rheumatism: long-term treatment (10-20 times) at frequencies of 68H2 and 86Hz treatment) may be used to treat patients with rheumatic pain and/or wear-and-tear injuries. Permanent improvement effects were obtained for patients. Treatment is daily with a duration of 30 minutes Or - every other day.

Spasticity: For muscle spasms, use a frequency of 40760Hz for about 2 minutes. It was observed that the convulsive state was resolved by treatment.

General stress-related discomfort: at adjusted frequencies and in an environment isolated from the outside world The use of music for 30 minutes has been shown to have a stress-relieving effect, and It seemed as though a new vigor had been given to the figure.

The foregoing observations are purely empirical and are a combination of the observations made by the therapist and the It is based on the experience gained by the examiner before and after the treatment.
