Description

{FORWARD HEAD POSTURE EXERCISE STRAIGHTENER}

The present invention relates to a turtle neck syndrome exercise calibrator, and more particularly, to a turtle neck syndrome exercise calibrator capable of exercising and correcting a posture using a vibration stimulus.

Turtle neck syndrome is a general term for diseases caused by long-term use of video display terminals such as smart phones and PCs, and the incidence is increasing rapidly.

As shown in Fig. 1, the turtle neck syndrome is arranged in a direction in which the lower neck bone is bent, and the upper neck bone and the head bone are arranged in a direction to lift the head, resulting in an attitude in which only the neck bone is completely lost.

Since the shoulders have lymph nodes and important large blood vessels, turtle neck posture hinders blood circulation in the body. In addition, the lost tranquility further increases the influence of gravity, leading to excessive tension on the nape and shoulder, and excessive tension develops into myofascial pain syndrome, which pushes the nerve and causes pain and headache. Pain and headaches can interfere with sleep and can easily lead to fatigue in daily life.

Furthermore, when the turtle neck posture is long, there is a problem that the normal dynamics of the throat collapse and develop into other symptoms such as arthritis of the neck.

As a result, the number of people seeking a hospital for turtle neck syndrome has increased in recent years, and hospitals are treated with orthodontics and pain medication or injections. However, this temporary treatment has a disadvantage of high possibility of recurrence.

Thus, improved quality of life for patients suffering from increased turtle neck syndrome is required.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The turtle neck syndrome movement corrective device of the present invention can be easily and easily worn, can be self-training without special skill, and is designed to help prevent and improve the actual turtle neck syndrome.

The most commonly used method of temporary turtle neck treatment is correction, but the memories and actions of the muscles already remembered as old habits are only temporary effects through correction.

Even after correction, it is always strengthening muscles through exercise. This is because once the muscular imbalance is temporarily restored to normal, it will become more and more weakened, and moter learning will not be re-established, resulting in imbalance again even if it behaves as little as the original habit. Considering these points, we provide a tortoise neck syndrome exercise calibrator that improves muscle imbalance and posture while training and practicing correct posture to the head through continuous exercise.

As shown in FIG. 2, the turtle neck syndrome motion corrector includes a pair of shoulder bands 10a and 10b, an X-shaped band 20, and a chin-in motion bar 30.

The shoulder bands 10a and 10b are respectively worn on both shoulders of the patient. The shoulder bands 10a and 10b serve to spread the shoulders of the patient. The shoulder bands 10a and 10b are made of an elastic material and can be worn regardless of the body shape of the patient.

As shown in Fig. 3, the shoulder bands 10a and 10b are provided with a small vibration meter 11. The vibrometer 11 transmits vibrations to the shoulder bands 10a and 10b and stimulates lymph nodes in the armpit area under the shoulder to assist blood circulation.

In addition, the vibration stimulates the junction of muscle and nerve (proprioceptive sensory system) to stimulate and stimulate the nerves and muscles that dominate the muscles, so that the muscular strengthening effect can be seen. In addition, according to the present paper, when the vibration is applied to the body, the muscle contracts reflexively. This effect activates the muscles and stabilizes the posture and strengthens the <bone-accepting sensation> .

That is, the vibration applied by the vibration system 11 activates and stimulates the nerves and muscles to train the nerves and muscles together. The vibration meter 11 may be a vibration motor incorporated in a shoulder band.

The vibration meter 11 may be embedded in the shoulder bands 10a and 10b. The shoulder bands 10a and 10b may be formed in a circular tube shape so that the vibration system 11 may be inserted into the inner groove.

The shoulder bands (10a, 10b) are provided with a collar (13). The ring portion 13 is for connecting the X-shaped band 20 or the straight type band 40 to be described later to the shoulder bands 10a and 10b. A plurality of the hooks 13 may be provided at necessary positions.

The X-shaped band 20 is for stretching the shoulders and spreading the back muscles. The main treatment of turtle neck syndrome is to straighten the shoulders and keep the head up, of which the X-shaped band (20) is for the shoulder straightening exercise.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, each end of the X-shaped band 20 is fixed to the shoulder bands 10a and 10b and is brought into close contact with the back muscle while focusing on the muscles of the back muscle. By using the muscles contracting the shoulders (the muscles of the forearm and the front cogs), the muscles are stretched by the elasticity of the X-shaped band 20 during operation.

The X-shaped band 20 has a structure in which a plurality of linear bands 25, 26, 27, 28 are connected to the band ring 21.

The band ring 21 is formed with a plurality of hooking portions 23 at predetermined intervals on the edges thereof. The straight bands 25, 26, 27 and 28 are provided with hooks a and b on both sides and one hook a is hooked on the hook 13 of the shoulder bands 10a and 10b, Is hooked on the hook portion (23) of the band loop (21).

The band loop 21 is for fixing the straight band 25, 26, 27, 28 to the center of the X-shaped band 20. A vibration system can be inserted into the band loop 21 to more effectively provide vibration.

The X-shaped band 20 is formed of a material having elasticity. The X-shaped band 20 can be adjusted in strength by adjusting its length. For adjusting the length of the X-shaped band 20, a length adjuster c is provided in each of the linear bands 25, 26, 27, 28. It is possible to adjust the length of the straight type bands 25, 26, 27, 28 by pulling the length adjusting portion c toward one side or the other of the straight type bands 25, 26, 27, 28 in the longitudinal direction.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the exercise bar 30 is intended for chin-in movement (stretching to pull the patient's chin to the maximum and straighten his head). The biological movement bar 30 has a groove 31 in which the occipital area (the back part of the head) of the patient is held on the jaw pulling motion. The biological motion bar 30 is fixed on one side of the X-shaped band 20 and is erected so that the other side is positioned to face the back of the patient.

One side of the biological motion bar 30 can be fitted and fixed to the fixing portion 29 provided on the X-shaped band 20. [ The biological movement bar 30 is made of a material having elasticity and the other end has a groove portion 31 concaved to fit the rear head portion.

As shown in FIG. 6, the turtle neck syndrome motion corrector further includes a separate straight band 40.

The straight band 40 can be mounted so that both ends thereof are fixed to the front ring portion 13 of the shoulder bands 10a and 10b and closely contact the front chest muscles of the patient. The straight band 40 adhered to the anterior chest muscle is formed in the same manner as the straight bands 25, 26, 27, 28 forming the X-shaped band 20, Only.

The straight band 40, which is attached to the patient's front chest muscle closely, is worn for the purpose of stretching the chest muscle, and the strength can be adjusted by adjusting the length with the length adjusting unit (c).

The above-mentioned X-shaped band 20, the biological motion bar 30 and the straight band 40 can be selectively used by being coupled to the shoulder bands 10a and 10b. This allows the exercise to be tailored to the user's taste through the autonomy of the components.

The operation of the present invention will be described below.

Describe how to wear and use turtle neck syndrome exercise braces.

First, as shown in Fig. 2 (a), shoulder bands 10a and 10b are worn on both shoulders of the patient, respectively. The shoulder bands 10a, 10b have a predetermined elasticity and can correspond to various body sizes of the patient.

Next, as shown in Fig. 2 (b), the X-shaped band 20 is worn. Each of the end hooks a and b is fixed to the ring c of the shoulder bands 10a and 10b so that the X-shaped band 20 is in close contact with the back of the back muscle while focusing on the muscles of the back muscle.

At this time, the X-shaped band 20 is in a state in which the linear bands 25, 26, 27, 28 are hooked to the hook portion 23 of the band loop 21 and assembled.

The X-shaped band 20 stretches the shoulders and stretches the back muscles. At this time, the strength of each of the linear bands 25, 26, 27 and 28 can be adjusted to control the intensity.

Since each of the linear bands 25, 26, 27, and 28 is made of a material having a predetermined elasticity, even if the length is adjusted to adjust the strength, the wearer can maintain the worn state without inconvenience.

In this state, one side of the immobilizing bar 30 is fitted and attached to the fixing portion 29 of the X-shaped band 20. Then, when the patient takes a position to pull the jaw to the maximum extent, the back of the head is positioned on the other side groove 31 of the movement bar 30, do. The patient maintains a jaw-pulling posture to maintain this condition.

In other words, it is possible to make the cervical vertebrae by using the exercise bar for the person to do the education and exercise. As a result, corrective movements of the shoulder and neck are combined.

At this time, when the vibration system 11 built in the shoulder bands 10a and 10b is operated, vibrations are transmitted to the X-shaped band 20 through the shoulder bands 10a and 10b to activate and stimulate the nerve and muscles, Effect can be seen.

The vibrometer (11) is operated by pressing once, and pressing once again stops the operation, so that the patient can operate easily with the shoulder band worn.

In addition, a straight band 40 can be further attached to stretch the anterior chest muscle so that both ends are fixed to the front ring 13 of the shoulder bands 10a and 10b and closely contact the patient's front chest muscle.

The principle of this method is to adjust the length of the straight band 40 adhered to the anterior chest muscles so that the shoulder is spontaneously rotated to focus the dry muscle, which is the target muscle that collects the shoulder muscle, And it is possible to perform a corrective movement according to the load.

Next, by adjusting the length of the X-shaped band 20 worn on the back of the patient and increasing the tension, the chest muscles are spontaneously spread and the scapula is naturally collected. Maintaining this condition will calibrate temporary round shoulders and stretch the normally firmly pulling chest muscles.

That is, the X-shaped band 20 and the straight band 40 stretch shortened muscles and stretched muscles to balance the muscles.

At this time, the vibration is transmitted from the shoulder bands 10a and 10b to the X-shaped band 20 and the straight band 40, thereby stimulating the inherent water-soluble receptors to increase the motion efficiency.

Continued use of the above-mentioned turtle neck syndrome braces will allow them to misplace and misdirect brain mapping to return to proper function through proper functioning of the muscles.

The above-mentioned turtle neck syndrome movement calibrator is composed of simple principle and it provides continuous exercise effect while wearing it, so it can calibrate the shoulder and neck movement and posture, and it can be used semi-permanently without failure or defect of the product .

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but may be defined by the scope of the claims, and those skilled in the art may make various modifications and alterations within the scope of the claims It is self-evident.
