In this case, the traction step does not necessarily extend after the user has moved the spine, and the vertebral traction part 300 is spaced apart from the seat plate part 100 or the back plate part 200 of the vertebral part of the user. It may also be possible to move and extend the user 'simultaneously'. However, it is desirable to adjust the proper operating speed or operating force in consideration of the current state of the user who is a correction patient.

In the following description, the user is lying on the seat plate 100 and the back plate 200, and assumes that a part of the spine part of the user is moved to lift in the opposite direction to the direction of gravity, and then the user is pulled in the stretching direction. Let's explain. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to moving the user in the lying state, it will be natural to include a traction correction in a sitting state.

On the other hand, the traction step may include a lumbar traction process for pulling the lumbar region of the user using the lumbar traction unit 400, and a cervical traction process for pulling the cervical spine of the user using the cervical traction unit 500. have.

During the lumbar traction process, the user clamping means 600 may be used to fix a part of the user's body.

On the other hand, the lumbar traction process, after the predetermined height is lifted by using a lumbar upper and lower moving means which is provided in the seat plate 100 as one configuration of the lumbar traction unit 400 and moves up and down the lumbar region of the user's spine, As one configuration of the lumbar traction unit 400 may be towed in the direction in which the user's leg is located by using the front and rear moving back and forth moving means 800 provided to move the seat plate 100 in the front and rear direction.

The lumbar traction process or cervical traction process here, the user lying on the seat plate 100 and the back plate 200 in the state of applying a load before and after the lumbar spine moving means 800 or the cervical spine moving means 1000 In accordance with the operating load value measured by the load cell measuring the operating load of) and the user's body features can be operated before and after the lumbar moving means 800 or the cervical spine moving means 1000 at different operating speeds or operating forces. .

One embodiment of the spinal tension method using the spinal curvature adaptive spinal tension device 1 according to the present invention, as described above, is not simply forcing a user who is a correction patient, lumbar traction unit 400 and cervical spine It is characterized by applying a two-step Traction correction to lift the user in the state lying on the seat plate 100 and the back plate 200 by using the towing unit 500.

10 is a spinal structure diagram for explaining the operation of the spinal curvature adaptive spinal tension device 1 according to the present invention, Figure 11 is a spinal side structure diagram showing the angle change of the spine when applying the correction according to FIG. And a result table, and FIG. 12 is a graph showing changes in intradiscal pressures in the disc joint when the calibration according to FIG. 10 is applied.

10 to 12 is a structural diagram, a result table and a graph in the case of lifting the user as a two-step after the user is pulled as a one-step, but the final state of the orthodontic patient is the same The results can also be interpreted as the same, suggesting that the above 1-step and 2-step can be mixed.

Referring to FIG. 11, when the order numbers L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 are respectively assigned from the upper side to the lower side of the lumbar spine, the initial angles before the embodiment of the spinal stretching method according to the present invention are applied are L1-L2, In L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1 (chochu), respectively, 5.4 degrees, 5.3 degrees, 9.0 degrees, 8.1 degrees and 16.6 degrees were measured.

Then, when the user is towed through the spinal traction unit 300 (corresponding to 2-step of the present invention), in L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1 (Michu) L, L1, L2, L2, L4, L4, L1, L2, L2, L4, L4, L1, L2, L2, L2, L2, L2, L2, L4, L4 -L5 and L5-S1 (Michu) increased almost 5.5 degrees, 5.4 degrees, 9.9 degrees, 9.1 degrees and 16.4 degrees, respectively.

Therefore, for proper decompression of the facet joints space between the bones constituting the spine, it can be seen that the process of lifting the user a predetermined height in a direction opposite to the direction of gravity as in 2-step is much more efficient.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the initial internal pressure of the Motion Segment Units (MSU) is zero, and the internal pressure value is meaningful as a relative value. In practice, when the user is towed by applying the two-step calibration according to the present invention, the internal pressure values are 0.15 Mpa and 0.13 at L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1 (Michu), respectively. Mpa, 0.13Mpa, 0.13Mpa and 0.08Mpa decreased (However, the application of 1-step is the result of lifting by considering 1/3 of the user's weight when 2-step is not applied). As a result of applying a 2-step calibration that lifts the user higher than in It is confirmed that the pressure increase occurs locally at L3-L4), 0.18 Mpa at L4-L5, and 0.15 Mpa at L5-S1.

Therefore, in conclusion, compared to the pressure reduction effect obtained by simply forcibly pulling the user who is the orthodontic patient in the kidney direction, a one-step calibration process of lifting the user lying on the seat plate 100 and the back plate 200 by a predetermined height is performed. More effective.
