C)

The invention relates to medicine, and in particular to physiotherapy in the treatment of spinal osteochonrosis.

The treatment of osteochondrosis is becoming a difficult task. Patients with vertebrogenic pain have been treated for a long time with various methods of conservative therapy by neuropathologists, orthopedists, physiotherapists, balneologists. In many cases, treatment or treatment of pain indroma is not successful, which indicates the need to improve existing treatment methods.

A known method of treating osteochondrosis by using spinal traction: vertical, horizontal sagging. Dry traction on special retraction block devices.

Each of these methods is aimed at unloading the vertebral disc and joints, improving tissue nutrition and reducing the intensity of pressure of the vertebrae on the nerve roots and their vessels. Extraction helps eliminate spinal curvature and improves tissue metabolism. The disadvantages of these methods. Relation s: the difficulty in choosing the necessary loads, the duration of treatment.

There is also known a method of treating osteochondrosis by slowly swinging the pelvic girdle with a load of 8-10 kg - alternately moving the legs and pelvis back and forth, right and left, and additionally appoint back and foot massage every other day, after 1.5- 2.0 hours after

turpentine bath. ..

The method is complex, time-consuming and does not allow for tight control over the dosage of the load. The duration of treatment is 15-20 days, however, the disease gives a relapse.

The prototype is a method of treating osteochondrosis, which involves placing the patient in the pool and performing vibration stretching for 2-4 minutes with a static load of 5-20 kg and vibration amplitude of 3-25 mm, then barotherapy under vacuum 0.3-0.9 atm on the area of the lateral segments of the spinal column and limb, for 20-30 minutes impose a needle application and end the session with manual therapy.

The method is difficult to use and also does not provide tight control over the loads, which can cause inadequate conditions of the patient.

A number of underwater spinal traction devices are known. All of these devices are equipped with control units in

in the form of a housing, tanks with drain pipes, control valves for draining water, a lever system, fastenings of the pelvic or shoulder girdle. Devices

allow stretching of the patient's body along the spine in a horizontal or vertical direction.

All these images, as well as methods, do not provide a sufficiently high treatment effect and are difficult to use.

The device consists of a bath, chest and pelvic corsets connected via cables and blocks to a loading unit made in the form of a tank suspended from a cable, flexible pipelines, a load scale, a control valve. The bath has a liquid level regulator in the form of a two-arm lever mechanism on one

0

the lever arm of which has an overflow tube and a float valve. The other arm is connected to a scale placed on the tank, which is equipped with a counterweight, cables and blocks connected to it5. The two-position control valve is equipped with a spring-loaded lever and a latch, which in turn has a hydromechanical actuator connected to the time relay.

It is difficult to perform and use, difficult to maintain, and does not provide a sufficiently good therapeutic effect.

The purpose of the invention is to increase the therapeutic effect by eliminating relapse and simplifying the design of the device for treating osteochondrosis.

The essence of the treatment method is that the in-line stretching in the horizontal position is carried out in a stream., A liquid having a flow velocity of 1 - .2 m / s.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the capacity for accommodating the patient

5 is made in the form of a rigid mesh, and elastic tubes for attaching the patient are attached with grippers on one side directly to the mesh, and on the other, to a rigid, perpendicular

0 relative to the body axis of the patient, a strap connected by a flexible cable to a block system and a dynamometer to control the tensile strength of the body.

Device for implementing the method

5 is schematically shown in the drawing, where 1 is a patient, 2 is an elastic tube. 3 is a grip, A is a bar, 5 is a block, 6 is a dynamometer, 7 is a cable, 8 is a winch, 9 is a body.

Patient 1 is placed in a casing 9 made of a mesh installed in the flow, fixed

grippers 3 through elastic tubes 2, which can pass through the axillary hollows, pelvic along with, anywhere on the legs to the strap 4. A cable 7 thrown through blocks 5 and connected to the winch 8 allows you to adjust the spine of the patient.

The procedure lasts 15-20 minutes, the course of treatment is 15-20 sessions. Moreover, during the session, to increase the therapeutic effect, water moves along the patient’s body at a speed of 1-2 m / s. Additionally, the patient can make arbitrary movements around his axis and (or) along.

The device and method have been tested in the conditions of the medical unit of the Krasnodar TPP. A stream of water was used, moving at a speed of 1-2 m / s. After 10-15 sessions, all patients noted a significant improvement in well-being, noted freedom of movement, pain syndromes were relieved. The treatment effect was persistent; no exacerbations were repeated for 2-3 years. The water flow rate was established experimentally, and the time of the procedures and the number of sessions were accepted by well-known methods.
