Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a breathing rehabilitation exercise device having a chest wall vibration function and a respiratory muscle strengthening function,

The present invention relates to a respiratory rehabilitation exercise device in which a chest wall vibration function and a respiratory muscle strengthening function are combined to enhance breathing muscle force during breathing and to apply vibration to the lung during breathing.

In general, respiratory-related diseases rely on drug treatment methods that use drugs. These medications have the effect of temporarily alleviating and alleviating symptoms in the early stages of respiratory-related disease treatment.

However, if medication is discontinued before a respiratory-related disorder is cured, symptoms may recur. This often leads to long-term treatment by increasing drug use or by using drugs that are stronger than the initial drug, with resistance to the drug being used initially. When respiratory-related diseases recur, the tissue deformation of the respiratory system gradually progresses, and as a result, the pulmonary function is slowed down, and the patient must rely on lifelong medication.

In order to overcome the limitations of these medications, respiratory rehabilitation therapy is performed in parallel with medication or respiratory rehabilitation therapy depending on the severity of respiratory diseases.

On the other hand, the respiratory rehabilitation treatment can be divided into two types: one is to repeatedly train the forced exhalation exercise to vibrate the chest wall so that the sputum and mucus of the lung are forced out of the body, and the other is to perform the forced inspiratory exercise Training to strengthen respiratory muscles to prevent respiratory disease.

Currently, respiratory rehabilitation exercise equipment with chest wall vibration function for repeated training of forced exercise exercise and respiratory rehabilitation exercise equipment with respiratory muscle strengthening function for repetitive training of forced inspiratory exercise are separately manufactured and sold.

In other words, there is a problem in that it is economically burdensome to purchase two respiratory rehabilitation exercise devices for the respiratory rehabilitation treatment. In addition, since two respiratory rehabilitation exercise devices must be used separately, it is difficult to perform efficient exercise and systematic management.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop respiratory rehabilitation exercise equipment which can solve the cost burden and can perform repeated exercise of breathing exercises and repetitive exercises of forced inspiration exercises in order to manage respiration rehabilitation exercise efficiently and systematically.
