Description

Disc manipulator {Disc Herniation traction management}

The present invention relates to a disc manual therapy device for controlling symptoms and prognosis of patients concerned about various spinal diseases such as lumbar disc, spinal stenosis, or muscle stiffness of the waist through extension exercise and traction therapy.

In general, intervertebral hernia of intervertebral discs is a condition in which there is an intervertebral disc that acts as a cushion between the vertebrae of the vertebrae. refers to

That is, the intervertebral hernia is commonly called a disk, and the gap between the lumbar vertebrae is compressed and the gap is narrowed, or the fluid escapes due to the deformation of the annulus of the disc, compressing the nerve and causing pain. As a disease, It mainly protrudes to the back and compresses the spinal nerve root (脊髓神经根), causing neuralgia, and in severe cases, it causes a change in posture due to pain.

In mild cases, it can be alleviated by resting or wearing a corset, but in severe cases, the prolapsed cartilage must be removed surgically, and sometimes it occurs in the cervical spine.

Traction therapy is one of the conservative treatments that alleviate the symptoms of nerve irritation in the lower extremities by removing the pressure on the nerve root that occurs mainly in patients with disc herniation or spinal stenosis by lengthening the space between the vertebrae. It is universally known as one of the main techniques of practice).

Its main action is to form a negative pressure within the intervertebral disc during flexion and traction, reducing herniation of the intervertebral disc, which is effective in disc treatment and alleviating spinal stenosis.

It is also known to be more effective in relieving muscle stiffness in the lumbar and lower back than classical traction therapy.

On the other hand, the method described above can be divided into manual traction performed by an operator and automatic traction using a traction bed designed for use. Manual traction requires an operator to be skilled in the technique, and also requires a lot of hassle and physical effort to perform the procedure at the side of the subject during the procedure.

In addition, conventional automatic traction equipment performs each traction function, but in particular, during flexion-traction treatment, the angle of the support plate supporting the lower body cannot be precisely adjusted. Because there was no separate treatment, the effect of manual traction treatment could not be properly demonstrated.

The best way to treat these discs is to widen the gap between the narrowed lumbar vertebrae through physical therapy and reinforce the surrounding muscles to put the fluid that has escaped back into place.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0286174 "automatic traction treatment device" (hereinafter abbreviated as 'pre-registered utility') has been proposed to alleviate these nerve stimulation symptoms.

The pre-registered utility includes a main frame having a mattress on the top, a support frame having one end hinged to both sides in the width direction in the middle of the main frame while supporting the main frame at a certain height from the ground, and the main frame One end is fixed at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the other end is installed on both sides around the fixed band and the hinge of the support frame, respectively, for fixing the neck and legs of the body, and the upper surface supports the lower surface of the main frame, mutually It is configured to include a pair of bellows inducing rotation of the main frame by selectively reducing and increasing the volume by the movement of the fluid, and an adjusting means for regulating the movement of the fluid between the pair of bellows.

The automatic traction therapy device configured and operated as described above can easily adjust the angle of the main frame by manually or automatically transporting the fluid in the pair of bellows, so it can significantly reduce vibration and noise generated when driving the conventional motor. be able to

However, this pre-registration room uses a pair of bellows that use air pressure, which takes up a lot of space and is inconvenient in use because a compressed air device that generates air pressure must be connected. There was a problem that traction treatment could not be performed because the inclination was not adjustable.
