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

The present invention is applicable to " a user ' s back and buttocks supporting plate 110; A cushion 120 divided and arranged according to a section of the upper surface of the bed plate 110; A pressure sensor (not shown) for measuring pressure applied to each of the cushions 120; And a controller (not shown) for collecting and recording pressure measurement values of the pressure sensor. The backrest 100 for vertebrae status measurement "

The support plate 110 may be configured to be convexly bent upward so as to correspond to the S-curve of the vertebra. In this case, the upward convex portion is brought into contact with the waist, the lower end is brought into contact with the hip, and the upper end is brought into contact with the back portion. The upper end of the receiving plate 130 is coupled to the upper receiving plate 130 through the connecting member 135 as shown in FIG. 1 so that the receiving plate 110 and the upper receiving unit 130 can receive the upper half load of the user. S-Curve " of the normal vertebrae, and the support plate 110 and the neck support 130 may correspond to " S-Curve "

 2, by engaging the armrests 140 on the right and left upper portions of the back surface of the bedding plate 110, the arm can be turned back and the armrests can be guided through the armrests to induce chest stretching. have.

A cushion 120 is divided and connected to the upper surface of the bed plate 110 for each section. The cushion 120 may be made of an elastic material or an air pocket into which air is injected.

The compartment of the support plate 110 may be symmetrical so as to check the left-right balance around the spine. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper surface of the support plate 110 may be divided into six sections of three longitudinal and two lateral sections, for example. In this case, the top left and right cushions 120 support the back from left and right respectively, the left and right cushions 120 support the waist from the left and right, respectively, and the bottom left cushion 120 support the hips from the left and right respectively .

In the present invention, a pressure sensor (not shown) for measuring pressure applied to each of the cushions 120 and a control unit (not shown) for collecting and recording pressure measurement values of the pressure sensor are provided.

When a specific user presses on the backrest 100 for vertebra state measurement provided by the present invention, the cushion 120 divided and arranged for each division section receives the load of the upper part of the user in a divided manner. Therefore, it is possible to grasp the state of only the left and right side of the upper half body, the state of only the left and right side of the upper half body, the state of only the front side and the rear side, etc. from the measured pressure value of the pressure sensor, and the controller collects and records the pressure measurement value of the pressure sensor, . ≪ / RTI >

The control unit may be a computer device physically coupled to or separated from components such as the foot plate and the pressure sensor, and may execute an app installed in a mobile terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet PC, And collecting and recording the pressure measurement value of the pressure sensor through the means. In addition, the pressure measurement value of the pressure sensor recorded by the controller may be stored in the internal and external memories for each user, and may be provided for use as needed.

The controller may analyze the pressure distribution of each cushion to determine whether to generate a warning signal according to a setting criterion. The warning signal can be generated by means of lightening, warning, vibration, screen display, or the like.

Depending on the degree of abnormality of the spine, a stretching method may require hospital treatment rather than correction. Therefore, the control section secures the normal pressure distribution information of the cushion, the pressure distribution information of each cushion when it is possible to calibrate by stretching the abnormal body type, and the like, and analyzes the pressure distribution per cushion measured by the pressure sensor If stretching over the correctable status criteria is exceeded, a warning signal can be sent to the hospital for treatment.

The backrest 100 according to the present invention provides an air pocket (hereinafter, referred to as 'air pocket cushion') to the cushion 120 as shown in FIG. 4, (Not shown) coupled to the valve 125 and an air injection and discharge device (not shown) coupled to the valve 125 and connected to the cushion 120, And a flow meter (not shown) for measuring the air amount. In this case, the controller may collect and record the pressure measurement value of the pressure sensor and the flow measurement value of the flow meter together.

The valve 125 is opened and closed in association with the air injection-discharge device (not shown), and the air injection-discharge device (not shown) injects air into the air pocket cushion 120 in a pumping manner, Air can be discharged from the air pocket cushion 120.

By measuring the amount of air flowing or flowing through the valve 125, the flow rate of the inflow or outflow air is increased or decreased in the initial state of the air pressure of the air pocket cushion 120 The amount of air in the air pocket cushion 120 can be calculated, and the calculation can be performed in the control unit (not shown).

In the case where the air pocket cushion 120 is applied to the present invention, the control unit controls the air infusion-discharge device (not shown) while the user is laid down on the bed plate 110, 120, or by discharging air from the air pocket cushion 120, the pressure applied to all the cushions (not shown) can be kept the same within a predetermined error range. In other words, air is introduced into the air pocket cushion supporting the waist portion, and air is discharged from the air pocket cushion supporting the hips and the back portion, thereby distributing the load evenly over the entire upper half of the user.

The process of adjusting the amount of air in the air pocket cushion 120 to equalize the applied pressure will be described in detail as follows.

First, when the user places the air pocket cushion in the same state with the same amount of air, when the pressure applied to the left and right air pocket cushions of the symmetrical position with respect to the user's spine is different, To adjust the pressure applied to the left and right air pocket cushions to equivalent values.

[Fig. 5] is a conceptual diagram for adjusting the air amount according to the pressure difference and the pressure difference of the air pocket cushion for the normal body and the abnormal body.

In the case of the normal body as shown in Fig. 5 (a), the pressure (load) applied to the left and right air pocket cushions of the symmetrical position with respect to the vertebrae is the same (pressure 1 = pressure 2). In this case, stretching exercise can be carried out without any special calibration process.

In the case of the abnormal body shape as shown in (b) of FIG. 5, the pressure (load) applied to the left and right air pocket cushions at the symmetrical position with respect to the spine is different. (B) of FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the pressure applied to the left air pocket cushion is larger than that of the right air pocket cushion (pressure 1> pressure 2). In this case, the control unit controls the inflation of air into the right air pocket cushion so that the pressures of the left and right air pocket cushions are the same (pressure 1 = pressure 2), and the stretching movement can proceed in this state.

In addition, the control unit adjusts the air amount of each air pocket cushion so as to prevent a pressure deviation from occurring between the longitudinal cushions. As described above, a large amount of air is injected into the air pocket cushion supporting the user's waist, and a small amount of air is injected into the air pocket cushion supporting the user's hips and back, The pressure is controlled equally within the error range.

As described above, it is possible to measure the abnormality of the spine by a method of comparing the air amounts of the respective air pocket cushions while the air pocket cushions are subjected to the same pressure.

6, a balance graph as shown in Fig. 6 (b) can be derived according to the air amount of each air pocket cushion shown in Fig. 6 (a). In Fig. 6, it is possible to grasp the state where the vertebrae are tilted to the left and right by comparing the air amount of the air pocket cushion on the x-axis. For example, if there is a deviation in the air volume of the C-1 cushion and the C-2 cushion, the pelvis may be distorted.

The deviation of the air volume of the air pocket cushion on the y axis can be used to identify the state of the lumbar spine or the posterior and posterior spine. (Ratio) range that reflects an error range according to a human body type in a normal deviation (ratio), which is an air quantity deviation between longitudinal air pocket cushions when the normal body type user is laid on the above-mentioned base plate, The longitudinal state of the vertebrae can be confirmed by confirming that the air volume deviation between the longitudinal air pocket cushions when lying on the bed is within the normal deviation (ratio) range.

FIG. 7 schematically shows a process of correcting a normal body shape through orthodontic stretching to an abnormal body shape.

7A is a state in which the spine is in a state in which the airbag cushion is in a state in which the air pressure of the left and right air pocket cushions is equal to that of the right air pocket cushion. The deviation is reduced and the pressure applied to the left and right air pocket cushions and the air in the air pocket cushion are both in the same normal spine state as shown in Fig. 7 (c).

In order to calibrate the spinal abnormality state through the stretching as described above, the control unit records the pressure and the air amount for each position of the air pocket cushion for each user, and displays a graph, A data table or the like.
