Description

Self-exercise device for strengthening lumbar muscle strength{SELF-EXERCISING DEVICE FOR LUMBAR TRUNK MUSCLE STRENGTHENING OF UPPER BODY}

The present invention relates to a self-exercise device for strengthening lumbar muscles, and more particularly, it is possible to relax, contract and strengthen the lumbar muscles (vertebral erection muscles) by simply shaking the hips from side to side while lying on the floor and located in the center of the waist. In addition, it relates to a self-exercise device for strengthening lumbar muscle strength that can lead to the effect of skewed body correction.

With the development of the information industry, physical activity decreases and sitting time increases compared to the past, indicating that more than 80% of the population experiences low back pain at least once in their lifetime. . In addition, 10-20% of patients with acute low back pain, and in some cases, up to 40% were found to progress to chronicity (defined as pain and disability for 3 months or longer).

Low back pain is pain in the 10th thoracic and lower vertebrae, and is due to structural factors caused by lesions of the spine itself, abdominal organs or genital diseases, lack of exercise, stress or psychological factors, and mechanical deterioration of the musculoskeletal system. It is caused by various and complex causes such as biomechanical factors.

In addition, it causes physical abnormalities such as decrease in muscle strength and endurance of the lumbar part and loss of flexibility, and as a result of the decrease in physical activity, a vicious cycle of further weakening of muscle strength has been repeated. In addition, it affects the psychological state, causing anxiety and depression, leading to psychological problems such as self-efficacy, life satisfaction, and poor quality of life.These problems not only worsen pain, but also reduce motivation for treatment. It makes the management of low back pain more difficult and has a great influence on the progression of chronicity.

On the other hand, such treatments for low back pain include therapeutic exercise, massage, and manual correction. The effect is insignificant and temporary except for exercise therapy, and the effect is more limited for chronic low back pain patients. On the other hand, the aforementioned exercise therapy has been reported as an economical and effective treatment that can greatly reduce disability and pain.

In this regard, starting with Williams' flexion exercises proposed by Dr. Williams (Paul C, Williams) in 1937, McKenzie exercise, Pilates exercise, Feldenkrais exercise. As well as the back, there are a number of exercise devices disclosed that help various types of exercise.

For example, through Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1099453, the waist board that touches the body is height-adjusted in an arc shape to enable the waist strengthening exercise, so that the height can be adjusted freely according to the physical condition of the user, and the body can be stably supported to make it easier. A waist-strengthening exercise device that enables a waist-strengthening exercise is disclosed, and through Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1142888, a user's simple device operation or physical exercise can be used to prevent scoliosis, kyphosis, and vertebral disc herniation. Disclosed is a spinal muscle strengthening exercise device for relieving back pain and correcting spine so that various spinal diseases caused by spinal disorders or left and right pelvises are corrected or treated at the source.

However, in the prior art, the exercise device for achieving the above-described objects and effects is bulky and structurally complex, and thus there is a limitation in use that cannot be used portable. In addition, due to the above structural requirements, the cost burden is very high for the general public to purchase and use.

In the end, it provides portability as well as ease of use through miniaturization and weight reduction, and is effective in relaxation, contraction, and strengthening of the spinal erector muscle, which is important in the treatment of low back pain, while simultaneously eliciting the effect of posture correction. Research and development of existing exercise equipment is urgent.

(Document 1) Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1099453 (registered on December 21, 2011) (Document 2) Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1142888 (registered on April 27, 2012)

An object of the present invention is to solve all the problems as described above, by specifying the shape of the instrument to respond to the lumbar flexion, thereby stimulating the entire vertebral erection muscles of the user lying on the floor, the user lying on the floor and shaking the hips left and right It is intended to provide a self-exercise device for strengthening lumbar muscle strength that allows for the relaxation, contraction, and strengthening (strengthening of upper body muscle strength) of the contact body part (vertebral erection muscle) by only motion, as well as inducing an ideal curved state of the spine angle to correct posture.
