Description

The utility model relates to medicine, namely to manual medicine, orthopedics, vertebrology.

The human musculoskeletal system is holistic and treatment of only the “place where it hurts” does not lead to a lasting result. In order to obtain long-term improvement, a metered and strong effect on the musculoskeletal-muscular system of a person is required in order to bring it into an elastic and harmonious state. The fact is that the ligaments and muscles of the spinal column and pelvis are, in most cases, tense-relaxed in different ways on the right and left sides, on the inner and outer sides of the spine and this causes squeezing of the intervertebral disc. In order to bring all the ligaments and muscles of the spine into the same state, they need to be stretched very much. Doing it with your hands is almost impossible.

The need to create a device for correction of the spine is caused by the following:

1. occurring anomalies in the development of the spinous process / s and non-fusion of the arches of the spine, the absence or deformation of the apex of the spinous processes as a result of trauma, disease, surgical intervention;

2. the presence of osteoporosis of vertebral bodies located on top of the convex side of the deformity in scoliotic disease;

3. anatomical and topographic features of the joints of the vertebral bodies with ribs;

4. an increase in the surface area of the impact on the spine, which reduces pain during manipulations and increases the area of local effects on bone structures.

5. the feasibility of stretching the spine by traction simultaneously in two directions (cranial and caudal), which is due to the fact that

intervertebral disc height increases

reduced intradiscal pressure,

the height of the intervertebral foramen increases

the tone of the vertebral muscles is reduced,

intervertebral joints are unlocked.

There is a method of manual therapy on the lumbar spine using extension and short levers according to J. Siriaks, including the application of the efforts of the hands to the spine, making tangential movements, concentrating efforts in a painful place, then they produce a manipulative push strictly in the vertical plane and at the expiration depth of the patient ( S.V. Kruglyakov. 100 methods of manual therapy. M: Soviet Sport, 1995, pp. 165-167).

The disadvantage of this method is that it creates only a vertical effect on the spine, which reduces the effect of pain relief, there is no regulation of the applied effort, since it is associated with the physician’s physical capabilities.

A device is known that contains a support for the patient in the form of a platform, on the frame of which a vibroshock drive is installed with an impact element on the spine in the form of a nozzle mounted on the spinal lesion zone (RF Patent No. 2163108, IPC A61F 5/00, publ. 02.20.2001, Bull . No. 5).

A table for manual therapy is also known, containing adjustable supports and a frame with a movable and flexible working surface due to its implementation by means of a set of pipes articulated between each other, part of which has the possibility of articulating interaction with adjustable supports directly, and with one of the latter through a sleeve coaxially located on it with the ability to move and fix (RF Patent N 2063190, A61G 13/00, publ. 26.01.1993).

The disadvantages of these devices is the difficulty in use, there is no way to control the pressure force of the device elements on the spine, which can cause pain in the patient or injure, and this reduces the effectiveness of the manual therapy.

There is also known a device for correction of the spine, containing a support for the patient, a platform, a drive and impact elements on the spine, where the drive is made in the form of a pivot arm, the frame is made in the form of mounted on opposite sides of the support for the patient, racks connected by a bar with the possibility of its movement and fixation, the lever is positioned to move along the bar and has the possibility of a fixed or spring-loaded fixation of the free end, the elements of the impact on the spine are made in the form of a stop - corr the vertebrae and the stop - the sacrum corrector, which can be mounted on the lever by means of fixation units with a hinged grip that pivots around the lever and moves along it, the vertebrae are made in the form of a rod that can be mounted on the hinge on one side and two on the other recesses for the transverse processes of the vertebra located between the latter with the possibility of deepening a movable insert with a hole for the spinous process of the vertebra and pivotally mounted on the sides of the rod with possibly by means of an adjustable protrusion above the hole for the spinous process of the vertebra, squeezing plates with depressions for the spinous processes below and above the located border vertebrae, the squeezing plates being made on each side with a stubborn bulge for articulating on the shaft, the sacrum corrector is made in the form of a bar having on the one hand, the figured surface for the crest of the sacrum, and on the other hand, the possibility of installation in the articulated grip (RF Patent No. 2294729, IPC A61H 1/00, publ. 03/10/2007, Bull. No. 7).

The disadvantage is the difficulty in using without the ability to control the pressure force of the elements of the device on the spine, which can cause pain in the patient or injure, and this reduces the effectiveness of the manual therapy.

The objective of the utility model is to create an easy-to-use and easy-to-use device that does not injure the patient to correct the spine, which allows it to act on the entire spinal column and pelvis to stretch the ligaments, deep back muscles, and rib muscles by applying pressure on the spine at different angles and in different planes, which contributes to the restoration of normal biomechanics of the spine and significantly increases the effectiveness of manual therapy.

The technical result of the utility model is to simplify the use of the device, the return of normal biomechanics of the spine and the exclusion of injury during manual therapy.

The technical result is provided by a device for the correction of the spine, containing a platform for the patient, an element for influencing the spine, according to a useful model, the platform along the long edge has a guide with a groove for moving the slider connecting, through the flexible fastening element, the element for influencing the spine, while the element for acting on the spine made in the form of a lever in the form of an arc and additionally contains a double semi-rigid roller.

During mechanical action on the human body, biologically active substances such as histamine and acetylcholine are formed in the tissues exposed. These biologically active substances are involved in vasodilation, which helps lower blood pressure.

The accumulation in the muscles during the mechanical action of active acetylcholine stimulates muscle activity, as it increases the rate of transmission of nerve excitation from one nerve cell to another and from them to the muscles, the neural-reflex mechanism by which mechanical irritations are transmitted to the central nervous system during manipulation and regulate it functional state in the necessary direction - calming or exciting.

The impact on the spine causes irritation of the exteroreceptors of the skin, summing up with the irritation of the joint bags lying in the tendons, ligaments, fascia of proprioreceptors, as well as angioreceptors of the walls of blood vessels and interoreceptors of internal organs, is transmitted along sensitive pathways to the central nervous system and reaches the cerebral cortex, where these centripetal afferent impulses into the general reaction of the body, which manifests itself in the form of certain functional changes in various organs and systems of the body.

When conducting manual therapy sessions using the inventive device, the above mechanisms work simultaneously, and manipulations can have a selective effect, as well as on the whole organism.

In addition to the direct effect on the joints of the spine, an indirect indirect positive reaction of the body is carried out: on the skin and subcutaneous tissue; on the central and peripheral nervous system; on the circulatory and lymphatic system; on the muscular system and articular apparatus; for metabolism.

The device for correction of the spine is illustrated by the following graphic images:

in FIG. 1 shows a device in General view,

in FIG. 2 is a horizontal projection of FIG. 1,

in FIG. 3 is a front view of FIG. 1,

in FIG. 4 - double semi-rigid roller.

The device for correction of the spine contains a platform 1, a guiding element 2 with a groove 3, a slider 4, a flexible fastening element 5, a lever 6 in the form of an arc, and a double semi-rigid roller 7.

The platform 1 has a guide 2 element with a groove 3. The lever 6 in the form of an arc using a flexible fastening element 5 is positioned to move along the guide 2 element using the slider 4. The lever 6 is equipped with a double semi-rigid roller 7.

Platform 1 for the patient can be installed on any surface, including a massage table, couch, hospital bed, etc.

The device is used as follows.

The device uses the power of the lever and allows with great accuracy in terms of strength and duration to affect the human bone-ligamentous-muscular system, returning the lost mobility to the vertebrae relative to each other.

The patient is laid face down on the platform. The lever 6 with a semi-rigid roller 7 mounted on it is positioned over a portion of the spine that requires correction. The lever 6 moves without restrictions and does not require additional settings, as well as fixing. The chiropractor / operator holds it in his hands and disposes it in the required manner without restrictions. Pressure is carried out in various directions, depending on the tasks posed by the presence of a specific diagnosis. The roller 7 is made of an elastic material and consists of two connected round rods 16 cm long. The roller is designed for non-traumatic pressure transmission from the lever to the vertebrae. The non-solid body of the roller allows you to fit all the vertebrae and move in the right direction. The procedure consists in pushing the entire spinal column with a lever in order to bring the ligaments and muscles of the segment into an elastic state. Then follows the same lever action on the pelvis, and then on the cervical spine. The final part of the procedure is the stretching of the remaining joints of the body. The duration of the procedure can take from 40 minutes to 1 hour.

Examples of using the utility model.

Example 1

Galina P., 61, a native of Ukraine. She appealed due to the fact that she was constantly tormented by pain in the lumbar region, her right leg was very sore, for the last three months she had not got out of bed, all her movements had been done with someone's help, she could not stand for more than 5 minutes. Diagnostics showed that all the muscles and ligaments of her spinal column are spasmodic, two vertebrae in the lumbar region were turned to the right, one vertebra was turned in the cervical region. The right leg was smaller than the left by about 20% in volume. The pelvis was tilted to the right. She was examined and treated in many medical institutions and by private specialists.

Galina P. received 10 sessions of manual therapy using the inventive device, aimed at bringing her muscles and ligaments into a plastic state. After the first two sessions, Galina could stand the necessary amount of time, after the third session her legs were leveled out, after the fifth session she began to walk and take care of herself. Pain in the lower back and leg ceased to bother after the sixth session.

The claimed device was processed the entire spinal column and pelvis for 20 minutes in order to bring the muscles and ligaments to the same plastic state. The pressure was carried out in the directions up-down, from right to left, from left to right, in the final part pressure was applied from the pelvis to the side of the head. In the region of the two lumbar vertebrae, pressure was applied while keeping pressed for two minutes on each side of the vertebrae. The cervical vertebra segment was processed manually. For 10 minutes, pressure was held with retention on the pelvic area. In subsequent sessions, correction of the lumbar and cervical vertebrae was added to the previously described actions.

Example 2

Alexander G., 37 years old, professional motorcycle racer. He turned in connection with the fact that for the last three years he had been pursued by pains in the spine, during periods of exacerbation, his body leaned strongly to the right side, lived on strong painkillers and injections. It was examined and treated in many medical institutions and by private specialists.

Diagnosis showed that his first vertebra after the sacrum was strongly displaced, the muscles of the pelvis and spine were severely spasmodic, and the ribs of the chest were deformed.

Alexander G. Got 15 sessions using the inventive device. After the first, the spine returned to an upright position. At the seventh session, a correction of the vertebra relative to the pelvis was performed. After the tenth session, the spine was restored to normal and the pain no longer bothered the patient. The remaining five tricks were done to consolidate the results.

The inventive device was processed the entire spinal column for 20 minutes in order to bring the muscles and ligaments into the same plastic state. The pressure was carried out in the directions up-down, from right to left, from left to right. In addition to pressure on the spine, pressure was applied to adjacent ribs. The pelvic area was processed for 15 minutes each session. The next stage is the correction of the position of the pelvis relative to the spine. For this manipulation, the inventive device was used, pressure was applied to the displaced vertebra while holding the pelvis.

As a result of using the inventive device, the spinal column becomes more elastic and freed. Squeezed and overstressed areas return to their normal state, blood begins to circulate better.

Thus, the claimed utility model is easy to control, not injuring the patient, allows you to act on the entire spinal column and pelvis with the aim of stretching the ligaments, deep muscles of the back, costal muscles by applying pressure to the spine at different angles and in different planes, which significantly increases the efficiency of manual therapy.
