Description

Pelvic floor muscle strengthening device and strengthening method

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, and more particularly, it is possible to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in the body even while wearing clothes, and to enable strength training of the pelvic floor muscles in a state optimized according to the user's body information. The present invention relates to a device and method for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.

In general, pelvic floor muscles are muscle tissues including anal and urethral sphincters located in the lower part of the pelvis. It is a symptom that does not recover to normal and the support of the bladder and other parts of the body is reduced, making it difficult to control urination.

Therefore, such urinary incontinence is treated by restoring the bearing capacity to support the pelvic organs such as the bladder in a normal state through continuous contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. Usually, the pelvic floor muscles are connected to the pudendal nerve together with the anal sphincter and urethral sphincter, so they contract and relax together with these sphincters. Therefore, the conventional urinary incontinence treatment device does not have a method to directly detect the contraction force of the pelvic floor muscles that are hanging down, so insert a small device into the vagina of a woman to sense the contraction of the sphincter and contract the pelvic floor muscles together. However, this has a huge disadvantage of being very inconvenient to use and causing shame.

In addition, in order to strengthen the weakened muscles, the muscle recovery effect is increased only when the muscles are contracted against external resistance, like arm exercise with a dumbbell, and the strength recovery effect is significantly lowered when the body is given strength without external resistance. However, since the conventional insertion-type urinary incontinence treatment machine cannot exercise by putting weights in the vagina of a sensitive woman, it is a no-load strength exercise method and the muscle recovery effect is greatly reduced.

The objects, features and advantages of the present invention described above will become more apparent through the following detailed description. Hereinafter, it will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

1 to 8 show various embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the pelvic floor muscle strengthening device 10 of the present invention is provided with a seat body 11 in the form of a cushion of a certain area so that the seated person can sit with their buttocks on, the seat body 11 An acupressure tool in the form of a long bar is installed in the approximately central portion of the body, and a plurality of operation buttons and a display window of a certain size are provided in front of the acupressure tool 20 .

The acupressure tool 20 is formed to have a narrow left and right width and a long front and rear length so that when the seated person sits on the seat body 11, the pelvic floor muscles can be accessed through the narrow space between both hip bones of the seated person. In addition, the operation button may be configured to include a body information input means 50 capable of inputting the weight or height of a seated person, and a button for turning on/off power or starting or ending an operation, and the display window is configured as described above. A display unit 60 capable of displaying weight or height by the body information input means 50 or displaying a power state or an exercise state of the occupant may be formed. ) is an example in which the body information input means 50 and the display unit 60 are directly installed on the .

The other form of the body information input means 50 and the display unit 60 is a mobile device (M) that is separate from the seat body 11 so as to be connected by wire or wirelessly to enable data transmission or operation control of the device. or a PC, etc., and an application capable of executing or controlling the operation of the device may be installed on this mobile device (M) or PC, etc. 2 and 3 will be described as follows.

As shown in FIG. 2 , a lifting means 30 configured to move the acupressure tool 20 up and down is provided inside the seat body 11 , and the lifting means 30 is the acupressure tool 20 . ) consists of a screw shaft screwed onto the body 21 and can be adjusted manually or automatically by the control means 40 . The control means 40 is a manual method or PCB board 42 composed of a handle 41 that is exposed at the bottom of the sheet body 11 and can be manually operated and a height display means that indicates in which direction the handle 41 should be turned. ) and the motor operated by it, there is an automatic method.

In addition, a load transfer bar 23 for supporting the weight applied to the acupressure tool 20 is provided at the lower end of the lifting means 30 , and a sensing means configured to sense a load under the load transfer bar 23 . (35) is provided. The detection means 35 is composed of a first detection sensor 36 and a second detection sensor 37 located at the front and rear ends of the acupressure tool 20, respectively, to detect the force pressing the perineum of the seated person or the seated person to the perineum It may be provided to sense the force generated when the is contracted. At this time, the two measurement data by the sensing means 35 may be summed up by the control means 40 and displayed on the display unit 60 .

In addition, through the pair of sensing means 35, as shown in FIG. 3, information on the seating position of the seated person or the height of the acupressure tool 20 is provided in the form of a bar graph so that the consumer can fit them. Adjust it to the optimal state so that you can use it. That is, the seated position of the seated person is displayed in various ways, such as a bar graph or a number, by detecting which side is seated more biasedly through each load data detected by the first detection sensor 36 and the second detection sensor 37. As a result, the seated person is guided to be seated in the center of the acupressure tool 20 .

In addition, when it is sensed that the optimal external resistance data is calculated using the height and weight information of the user to adjust the height of the acupressure tool 20, the optimal external resistance data acts on the pelvic floor muscles (P) of the seated person. By elevating the acupressure (20) ball through the lifting means (30) until the pressure is on the perineum. At this time, the lifting means 30 is an automatic method in which the acupressure tool 20 is automatically raised and lowered by a motor, and a manual method in which the user turns the handle 41 by hand to raise the acupressure tool 20 through a screw. There is this. In addition, the manual method can display whether the height of the acupressure tool 20 is appropriate in various forms such as bar graphs or numbers as shown in FIG. It will be properly adjusted and used.

At this time, when the optimal external resistance is input to the device through the user's body information input means 50, such as the user's weight or height, it is calculated to be proportional to the user's weight and inversely proportional to the height of the pelvic floor muscle (P) (shown in FIG. 4 ). ), it is possible to forcefully exercise the pelvic floor muscles (P) against the optimal external resistance, just like the dumbbell arm exercise.

That is, the user's pelvic floor muscles (P) support the pelvic organs such as the bladder and rectum. By offsetting the weight of the organs and lifting the pelvic floor muscles (P) at an appropriate ratio, as shown in FIG.

In addition, the height information is related to the user's body type. Even if the body weight is the same, if the height increases, the skinny person becomes skinny, and such a skinny person has a characteristic of feeling a lot of pain by sensitively responding to external stimuli because there is no flesh. Therefore, the external resistance applied to the pelvic floor muscle (P) must act in inverse proportion to the height information so that it can be used comfortably while reducing pain induction.

As a result of the experiment, strength exercise of the pelvic floor muscle (P) was possible when the external resistance was increased proportionally from 6% to 30% of the body weight. However, in more than 30% of cases, the pain was so severe that it was difficult to do strength training.

In addition, the external resistance had to act in an inverse proportion from 4% to 20% of the height in order to be able to exercise comfortably without pain. It was difficult.

At this time, the external resistance acting on the pelvic floor muscles (P) is controlled by adjusting the height of the acupressure tool (20). When the pressure is applied, the external resistance applied increases, and when the acupressure tool 20 is lowered, the pressure of the pelvic floor muscle P is released as much as the external resistance is also reduced.

As described above, the present invention applies the optimal external resistance required for strength exercise to the pelvic floor muscle (P), which is the exercise part, to strongly oppose the external resistance, unlike the insertion type urinary incontinence treatment machine of the past no-load strength exercise method. (P) can be contracted, so the therapeutic effect is greatly improved.

In addition, the present invention, as shown in Figure 4 (a), the pelvic floor muscle (P), which was usually struck in a "U" shape by the weight of the pelvic organs such as the bladder and rectum, with an acupressure tool 20 and a lifting means 30, When the pelvic floor muscle is contracted by pushing it up through the control means 40 and inverting it in an ∩ shape as in Fig. It is possible to sense the degree of muscle contraction through the sensing means 35 of the That is, the pelvic floor muscle (P) is usually stretched in a “U” shape, so it is difficult to detect the contractile force from outside the body. When this happens, a vertical component force proportional to this is generated, and the contractile force of the pelvic floor muscle (P) can be detected outside the body very easily even when wearing clothes.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the present invention further includes an abdominal belt 12 to be worn on the seated person's waist, and the abdominal belt 12 has an increase in intra-abdominal pressure when the seated person applies a force to the abdomen. A double pressure sensor 13 capable of detecting a unit of pressure or force is mounted.

The abdominal pressure sensor 13 detects whether the intra-abdominal pressure increases when the seated person exercises the pelvic floor muscles, and displays it externally through the display unit 60 so that the user can monitor it, so that if no force is applied to the abdomen It induces accurate Kegel exercises in which only the pelvic floor muscles contract and contract.

In addition, the present invention enables the pelvic floor muscles (P) of the seated person to be electrically stimulated to contract even in a state in which the seated person is wearing clothes.

In another embodiment of the present invention, electrodes 70 and 71 for applying electrical stimulation are provided on the acupressure tool 20 , and the electrodes 70 and 71 are spaced back and forth on the upper surface of the acupressure tool 20 . It is composed of a first electrode 70 and a second electrode 71 that are spaced apart.

A tissue 80 is provided on the acupressure tool 20 to cover the electrodes 70 and 71, and the tissue 80 contains sufficient moisture with a moisture content of 40% to 85% to facilitate electricity transfer. In addition, even if the occupant is seated while wearing clothes, the clothes are wetted by the moisture, and electricity is smoothly transmitted from the electrodes 70 and 71 positioned outside the clothes to the skin inside the clothes.

In addition, the tissue 80 may be disposable in consideration of hygiene, etc., and may be used repeatedly if boiled or disinfected in water. In addition, the size corresponding to the area of the acupressure tool 20 can be made narrow and long, or folded and used to minimize wetness while the seated person is wearing clothes.

For example, the acupressure tool 20 has a width of 12 mm to 39 mm, and a length of 70 mm to 200 mm, so that the internal pelvic floor muscles can be compressed through the narrow space between both hip bones. In addition, the tissue 80 has a left and right width of 15mm to 50mm to correspond to the shape of the acupressure tool 20, and by using a narrow and long fold with a front and rear length of 70mm to 200mm, the perineum of the seated person who is not easily seen by others is at least It is constructed so that it can be wetted with an area of .

The reinforcement method according to the present invention is summarized and described with reference to FIG. 8 as follows.

8, in the method for strengthening the pelvic floor muscle (P) according to the present invention, a tissue 80 containing moisture on the electrodes 70 and 71 of the present invention as described above in the tissue setting step (S100). is folded and placed in a narrow and long manner, and in the seating step (S200), the user sits on the tissue 80 as it is in a state of wearing clothes, and a low-frequency pulse is applied to the electrodes (70, 71) in the low-frequency application step (S300) By doing so, electrical conduction is made between the electrodes 70 and 71 and the skin through the moisture soaked in the clothes, thereby applying electrical stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles (P) of the seated person.
