Description

Lumbar and cervical traction weighing device {Lumbar and cervical traction weighing device}

The present invention relates to a lumbar and cervical vertebra traction weight measuring device, and more particularly, to a device capable of measuring the weight and traction of the lumbar vertebrae and cervical vertebrae horizontally with one traction motor and one load cell.

The spine is one of the most important skeletons of the human body and is an organ that forms the center of the body and serves as a pillar. The spine supports the head upwards and connects the pelvis downwards to support the trunk and help to move the body, and protects the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

In modern life, as the use of smartphones, PCs and smart devices becomes common, spinal diseases such as spondylolisthesis and disc are increasing. , there are various diseases of the tumor.

On the other hand, 80% to 90% of spinal diseases are treated with non-surgical treatment methods, and non-surgical treatment methods are basic treatment methods.

Accordingly, posture correction is an essential treatment process in the correction or rehabilitation treatment of spinal diseases.

For example, patients with spinal diseases have a curved or curved spine, so they need to be corrected in the correct posture. If the patient is treated without correction, weightless decompression therapy will not be effective, and accidents such as spinal joint damage or severe paralysis may occur. can

In addition, if the patient arbitrarily performs the exercise without expert education or assistance, it is difficult to control the appropriate exercise intensity, so there is a high risk of recurrence of muscle and ligament injuries including the spine.

In order to solve this problem, Korea Patent No. 10-2188342 “Spine and pelvis traction and correction device and control method thereof” is a control method for simultaneously traction of the spine and pelvis, and adjusting the gap between the bed and the bed through a hinge connection. However, if the angle of the bed is wrong, there is a risk that pulling the spine in an uncorrected state may cause strain on the spine due to the characteristics of the spine patient.
