Description

Spine Curve Retaining and Traction Device

The present invention relates to a device for traction while maintaining the curvature of the spine, and more particularly, to a device for traction while maintaining the curvature of the lumbar or cervical vertebrae.

People often maintain their back slightly bent rather than fully upright when walking or sitting. This state of the body causes excessive stretching of muscles, fascia, and various ligaments of the back and back, and further puts a lot of pressure on the intervertebral disc (disc). In particular, modern people, who have a sedentary lifestyle, spend more than 8 hours a day in a sedentary life. Accordingly, the flexibility of the vertebral joints is greatly reduced due to excessive loads continuously applied to the back and neck, and low back pain is frequently caused. As the flexibility of the vertebral joints decreases, it naturally increases the possibility of various musculoskeletal disorders and diseases such as disc herniation (disc disease) or degenerative disc. In the case of a herniated disc or degenerative disc in the neck or back, if the severity is severe, it can be treated with surgical methods such as surgery, but if the symptoms are insignificant or to prevent disease, various physical treatment methods are mobilized. .

In the past, the development of a technology that can easily perform physical treatment using a device at home, away from the method in which a patient visits a hospital and receives physical treatment, has been developed. In relation to this, Korean Patent Registration Publication No. 10-1173164 relates to a cervical spine traction treatment device, and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0057444 is a medical cervical spine traction device for normal curvature and relaxation of the cervical spine. It relates to a cervical spine traction therapy device that improves and treats diseases of the cervical spine by traction. Since it already maintains a curved state, it may cause discomfort depending on the user's cervical vertebrae condition, and the neck disc traction unit provides pressure to the head to pull the head, thereby reducing the curvature of the spine rather than traction of the curved spine. There is a negative limitation in the therapeutic effect, and also the ligaments surrounding the spine and the disc are stretched and loosened, causing the side effect of destabilizing the spine.

<Cervical curve formation and maintenance traction>

Hereinafter, in describing the traction device for forming and maintaining a curvature of the spine according to an embodiment, it will be mainly described with respect to forming and maintaining traction of the cervical vertebrae.

Figure 1a is an exemplary perspective view of the cervical vertebrae curvature formation and maintenance traction device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1b is a state diagram of use in an embodiment of the present invention for cervical vertebrae curvature formation and maintenance traction, Figures 2 to 4 is to explain the cervical vertebrae curvature formation and maintenance traction according to the driving of the air cell unit.

1A to 4 , the cervical vertebrae curvature forming and maintaining traction device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a body part 100 , a pump part 200 , and an air cell part 300 .

The body part 100 is composed of a first body part 110 and a second body part 120, and these may be integrally formed with each other.

The first body part 110 allows the user's head to be stably placed in a state in which the user is comfortably lying, and the upper surface thereof may have a curved surface of various shapes.

In some embodiments, the occipital insertion groove 19 into which the user's occipital region is inserted may be formed in the first body portion 110 in a state in which the user is lying comfortably. The occipital insertion groove 19 helps the head naturally move in the moving direction of the first body 110 when the first body 110 moves by increasing the fixing force between the first body part 110 and the user's head. .

The upper surface of the first body part 110 in contact with the head of the user lying comfortably may have a material that allows the head to naturally move in the longitudinal direction when the user's cervical vertebrae are tensioned or released.

The second body part 120 allows the user's cervical spine and shoulder region to be stably placed in a state in which the user is comfortably lying.

The guide part 130 may be formed on the upper surface of the second body part 120 . The guide unit 130 may have an arcuate, semi-cylindrical, or U-shaped shape as a whole while the upper surface of the middle region is bent downward.

The seating groove 131 on the central region of the upper surface of the guide unit 130 bent in the downward direction accommodates the user's neck, and the guide 130 is configured to surround the user's neck. is fixed naturally.

A fixing belt 180 is installed on the first body portion 110, and the fixing belt 180 is configured to be accommodated above the user's head.

The fixing belt 180 prevents the user's head from being lifted together when the cervical spine is curved and prevents the user's head from moving away from the initial position when the spine is traction, so the best effect when forming and maintaining the curve of the cervical spine can achieve

The air cell unit 300 is installed in the seating groove 131 of the guide unit 130 , and the air cell unit 300 is expanded by air supplied from the pump unit 200 or air discharged through the pump unit 200 . and shrinkage.

The air cell unit 300 may be expanded in an upward direction or in a longitudinal direction by air supplied from the pump unit 200 . That is, the air cell unit 300 may expand in at least one of two directions.

The seating groove 131 may have a predetermined depth. In more detail, before the air cell unit 300 is expanded in the upper direction, in a state in which the user is lying comfortably, the pressure of the user's cervical vertebrae by the air cell unit 300 is not made to a depth of the seating groove 131 . Depth can be determined. Therefore, it can be said that the pressure applied to the user's cervical vertebrae is released before the air cell unit 300 expands in the upward direction.

The user may inflate the air cell unit 300 upward through the operation of the pump unit 200 . As the air cell unit 300 expands in the upward direction, pressure is applied to the user's cervical vertebrae, and the curvature state of the cervical spine may change according to the extent to which the air cell unit 300 expands in the upward direction.

The user may inflate the air cell unit 300 upward to the extent that he or she feels comfortable. That is, the degree of expansion of the air cell unit 300 may be adjusted according to the user's body type and weight and the curved shape of the neck.

As the air cell part 300 expands in the upward direction, it applies pressure to the cervical vertebrae and forms a curve while lifting the cervical vertebrae in the upward direction. While the expansion of the air cell unit 300 is maintained, the cervical vertebrae may maintain a curved state. In addition, since the user's head and neck are fixed by the guide part 130 and the fixing belt 180, the curved state of the cervical spine can be maintained without being canceled.

Next, the user may operate the pump unit 200 to expand the air cell unit 300 in the longitudinal direction. As the air cell unit 300 in close contact with the user's cervical vertebrae expands again in the longitudinal direction due to the upward expansion of the air cell unit 300, the cervical vertebrae are tensioned by the frictional force between the air cell unit 300 and the user's cervical vertebrae. will become In addition, since the user's head and neck are fixed by the guide part 130 and the fixing belt 180, shaking of the user's upper body is minimized, so that the traction effect of the cervical vertebrae can appear while the stability is maintained.

<Lumbar curve formation and maintenance traction>

Hereinafter, in describing the device for maintaining and traction of the curvature of the spine according to the embodiment, it will be mainly described with respect to the maintenance and traction of the lumbar spine.

Figure 5a is an exemplary perspective view of the lumbar curve formation and maintenance traction device according to another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5b is a state diagram of use in an embodiment of the present invention for lumbar curve formation and maintenance traction, Figures 6 to 8 is for explaining the lumbar curve formation and maintenance traction according to the driving of the air cell unit.

Hereinafter, in describing another embodiment of the present invention, the content overlapping with the description in the previous embodiment other than the lumbar curve formation and maintenance traction will be omitted.

5A to 8 , the first body part 110 of the lumbar curvature forming and maintaining traction device 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention stabilizes the user's pelvis in a state in which the user is comfortably lying. and the upper surface thereof may have a curved surface of various shapes.

The upper surface of the first body part 110 in contact with the user's pelvis, who is lying comfortably, has a predetermined frictional force so that it can naturally move in the longitudinal direction together with the user's lower body when the user's lumbar spine is tensioned or released. material can have.

The second body part 120 allows the user's waist and buttocks to be stably placed while the user is comfortably lying.

In some embodiments, a buttock insertion groove 18 may be formed in the second body part 120 to allow the user's buttocks to be inserted in a state in which the user is lying comfortably.

The buttock insertion groove 18 increases the fixing force between the user's buttocks and the second body part 120 so that when the second body part 120 moves, the user's lower body naturally moves in the moving direction of the second body part 120 . induce

The guide part 130 may be formed on the upper surface of the second body part 120 . The guide unit 130 may have an arcuate, semi-cylindrical, or U-shaped shape as a whole while the upper surface of the middle region is bent downward.

The seating groove 131 on the middle region bent in the lower direction among the upper surfaces of the guide unit 130 accommodates the user's waist, and the guide unit 130 is configured to surround the user's waist. is fixed naturally.

A moving means 190 is installed at the lower end of the first body part 110, and the body part 100 smoothly moves in the longitudinal direction. Illustratively, the moving means 190 may be configured as a wheel device. According to some embodiments, the moving means 190 may be configured to be movable only within a predetermined distance. In detail, the moving means 190 is fixed only within a predetermined distance range so that the body part 100 can move within the maximum tensile range of the lumbar vertebrae, and the body part 100 cannot move outside the maximum tensile range of the lumbar vertebrae. It may be configured in a movable form.

The air cell unit 300 is installed in the seating groove 131 of the guide unit 130 , and the air cell unit 300 is expanded by air supplied from the pump unit 200 or air discharged through the pump unit 200 . and shrinkage.

The air cell unit 300 may be expanded in an upward direction or in a longitudinal direction by air supplied from the pump unit 200 . That is, the air cell unit 300 may expand in at least one of two directions.

The seating groove 131 may have a predetermined depth. In more detail, before the air cell unit 300 is expanded in the upward direction, in a state where the user is comfortably lying down, the seat groove 131 has a depth such that the user's lumbar spine is not compressed by the air cell unit 300 . Depth can be determined. Therefore, it can be said that the pressure applied to the user's lumbar region is released before the air cell unit 300 expands in the upward direction.

The user may inflate the air cell unit 300 upward through the operation of the pump unit 200 . As the air cell unit 300 expands in the upward direction, pressure is applied to the user's lumbar region, and the curvature state of the lumbar spine may change according to the extent to which the air cell unit 300 expands in the upward direction.

The user may inflate the air cell unit 300 upward to the extent that he or she feels comfortable. That is, the degree of expansion of the air cell unit 300 may be adjusted according to the user's body type and weight and the curved shape of the waist.

As the air cell unit 300 expands in the upward direction, it applies pressure to the lumbar region and forms a curve while lifting the lumbar region in the upward direction. While the expansion of the air cell unit 300 is maintained, the lumbar spine may maintain a curved state. In addition, since the user's back and pelvis are fixed by the guide part 130 and the fixing belt 180, the curved state of the lumbar spine can be maintained without being released.

Next, the user may operate the pump unit 200 to expand the air cell unit 300 in the longitudinal direction. As the air cell unit 300 in close contact with the user's lumbar region expands again in the longitudinal direction due to the upward expansion of the air cell unit 300, the lumbar region is tensioned by the frictional force between the air cell unit 300 and the user's lumbar region. will become In addition, according to the tension of the lumbar region, the body part 100 can move naturally in the longitudinal direction by the moving means 190 , and the user's waist part is fixed by the guide part 130 , so the shaking of the user's upper body is minimized. The traction effect of the lumbar spine can be seen while maintaining stability.

The embodiment for traction formation and maintenance of the above-mentioned lumbar and cervical vertebrae reduces the pressure between the vertebrae by pulling the cervical vertebrae or lumbar vertebrae in a state where the curvature of the spine is maintained at a level that the user can feel comfortable on his/her own, It not only can restore the disc more effectively, but also prevents spinal instability caused by ligament damage caused by traction of the spine, and allows the user to have a correct spinal posture.

In addition, in the case of a normal spine, basic satisfaction is formed. Specifically, the curvature of the cervical and lumbar spine is lordosis and the thoracic spine is kyphosis, and the average angle of each part is 30 to 35 degrees for cervical lordosis, and 30 to 35 degrees for thoracic vertebrae. 40 degrees and the lumbar spine makes 45 degrees. The embodiment allows the user to feel comfortable in the posture by initially preserving the curvature of the user's neck or the basic spine of the user's waist accommodated in the seating groove 131 in a state in which the user is lying comfortably, and according to the expansion of the air cell part By allowing the degree of curvature of the spine to be gradually increased, the effect of treatment can be increased.

In addition, the embodiment can prevent the problem of compressing the disc while the interval between the vertebrae is narrowed rather than widened as the axis of traction is present in the spinous process according to spinal traction in a reduced state of curvature of the spine.

In addition, the embodiment prevents the problem that the abdominal pressure rises as the neck or waist is flattened according to the traction of the spine in a state in which the curvature of the spine is reduced, and the problem of loosening by pulling up to all the ligamentous tissues surrounding the spine can be prevented
