Description

The utility model relates to medical technology and can be used to correct diseases of the spine.

It is known that in connection with an abnormal lifestyle, a large number of people are subject to significant overloads, which lead primarily to cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diseases of the spine. Currently, there are numerous methods of rehabilitative effects on patients with such diseases (RU 2309774, 2007; RU 2286806, 2006; RU 2222355, 2004; RU 2216300, 2003; RU 2198691, 2003; RU 2155076, 2000; RU 2063248, 1996, etc.) etc.).

One of these areas is the use of various types of massage. The essence of massage boils down to the fact that the naked body of a person is exposed to weak or strong, superficial or deep mechanical irritations with the hands of a masseur or with special devices. Various devices are used as massage devices, in particular, vibration, pneumatic, vacuum and other devices (http://hochumassazh.ru/osnovny-e-vidy-massazha.html).

Currently, vibration massage has become widespread - a mechanical effect on the body using vibration techniques or vibrating massagers to achieve anesthetic, anti-inflammatory and tonic effect. The vibration effect irritates the nerve endings, regulates their excitability due to fluctuations and amplitudes. After a course of massage, there are improvements in the lymphatic, nervous and circulatory systems. Vibration waves are able to break down fat deposits, coping well with obesity and cellulite (https://vash-massazh.ru/vibracionnyj-massazh/).

Known vibration devices (tables, couches, beds, armchairs), in which rhythmic mechanical influences are directed to one or another surface of the patient's body (front, back, side), located in a horizontal or sitting position, contain the following basic elements: the frame is rigid structure, the frame on which all the other parts of the bed are held in a certain order. Panel (bed, surface, platform, platform), on which the patient is placed or seated before the treatment session. The panel can be of different sizes and multi-section, the sections are intended for different parts of the body. The frame contains a mechanical vibration generator (vibrator), a regulating device (in the case of an automated system) (RU 221551, 2003).

So, there is a known device for vibration massage of body muscles (RU 2052988, 1996), containing a housing in which an electric motor and a mechanism for converting rotational motion into reciprocating motion are located, however, it is designed to massage a certain muscle group and with its help it is impossible to carry out a general massage of the body ...

More promising are devices for massage based on a bed (bed) on the surface of which there are nozzles associated with a generator of mechanical vibrations with a regulating device (RU 2026663, 1993; RU 2215514, 2003; RU 2283639, 2006). The introduction of electric vibrators into operation is carried out by commands from the unit for setting operating modes through a signal generator and a master oscillator. The signal from the outputs of these units is fed to the switch input, which distributes the program signal from the unit for setting the operating modes to the electric vibrators.

These devices make it possible to increase the effectiveness of vibration exposure due to the possibility of changing vibration parameters during a vibration therapy session, as well as carrying out vibration exposure at a frequency close to the natural frequency of the oscillatory system "generator - panel - patient". The disadvantages of these devices include the insufficient efficiency of purely vibration exposure.

At the same time, devices for unloading and stretching the spine are known, which can be divided into two types: static and dynamic. With a static load, the effect is realized due to the patient's own weight (for example, RU 58356, 2006; RU 107477, 2011) or through the use of tensioners (RU 137718 2013, RU 2486883, 2011, CN 210408912, 2020) a constant load is applied to the spine. Such an impact can lead to stretching of muscles and ligaments, which can subsequently cause negative phenomena.

With dynamic action, stimulation occurs, which leads to their strengthening. Thus, a spine stretching device is proposed, which consists of a two-section bed with a fixed section with braces for the back, chest, shoulders and head and with a movable section with braces for the pelvis and legs. The movable section is made with the possibility of an adjustable cyclic movement along the longitudinal guides with a frequency close to the patient's walking frequency. The movable and fixed sections are connected by a cable system, fixed through a block on a fixed section, made with a pillow for fixing the head and installed with the possibility of longitudinal movement to stretch the cervical spine with a frequency equal to the movements of the movable section of the bed (RU 2676598, 2017).

However, the use of these devices is not effective enough, since it does not allow for a complex effect on the patient's body.

Known devices that combine vibration massage with stretching the spine (CN 102836049; KR 20150102303; CN 210185792). Thus, it is proposed (CN 210185792) a bed with a system of levers equipped with vibrating and rotating devices, as well as a bed equipped with a lifting plate located in the middle part and a mattress on which vibration-type power generators are located (CN 210408912).

The disadvantage of the devices is the technological complexity, as well as the lack of the possibility of thermal exposure to problem areas, which reduces the effectiveness of the therapeutic effect.

The closest in technical essence to the claimed device is a vibration-exhaust couch "Antoshka" (RU 1015, 1995), containing a bed with elements for fixing the patient's body placed on it, consisting of two sections with the possibility of their longitudinal movement under the action of the traction unit, a thermal impact, consisting of a heat heater, a fan and a bell for supplying hot air, located in the hole along the axis of the bed, and a vibration-iplicator attached to it, profiled along the profile of the spine, a vibration-massage device, a spine traction unit and a control unit. During the treatment session, the patient is fixed on the bed with belts in the chest and pelvis, and the head with a head holder, axillary supports are installed and stretched by moving the sections apart using a cable attached to the electric motor while simultaneously blowing heated air over the problem areas. At the same time, vibration massage is carried out using a vibrating massager-iplikator connected to an electric motor with an eccentric.

The disadvantage of the analogue is the complexity of the design and insufficient safety in the event of failure of the elements.

The technical problem solved by the authors was to create a simpler and safer vibration-exhaust couch.

The technical result was achieved by creating a couch consisting of a frame on which fixed rectangular sections are located along its axis, of which at least one is a working section, which contains a heating element and a vibration unit connected to the control unit. In this case, the exhaust device consists of clamps, put on the patient's limbs and head, connected by cables through the blocks with suspended loads placed outside the frame on the rods. The vibration block of the working section contains springs and a solenoid located in the thickness of the section, connected to the control unit. The heating element is usually flexible carbon filaments or other similar elements commonly used in heated mattresses or blankets.

A general view of the device is shown in Fig. 1, where the following designations are used: 1 - frame; 2 - working section; 3 - auxiliary section; 4 - heating element; 5 - vibration block; 6 - head retainer; 7 - clamp for limbs: 8 - rope; 9 - block; 10 - barbell; 11 - cargo; 12 - control unit.

The device consists of a metal frame 1, on which at least one working section 2 and auxiliary sections are located along its axis. The working section 2 contains a heating element 4 located in its thickness based on isolated carbon filaments or other similar heating elements and a vibration unit 5 on the basis of springs vibrating in the electromagnetic field created by the solenoid at a given frequency. Other technical solutions used in vibration massagers can also be used as a vibration unit. The set of the device includes clamps for the head 6 and limbs 7, which are cloth belts equipped with adjustable fasteners. Clamps 6 and 7 are attached to cables 8 connected through blocks 10 with suspended weights 11 installed on the rods 9. The device has from two to five rods 9 mounted on the frame 1, and depending on the procedure, their number may vary. The heating element 4 and the vibration unit 5 are connected to the power source through the control unit 12.

The couch can be additionally equipped with rollers for its movement in the room and a device for changing the length of the legs.

The device works as follows. The patient is placed on the couch in the supine position in such a way that his problem areas touched the surface of the working section 2. In case of spinal diseases, the working section 2 is installed in the central part of the couch, in case of joint diseases in the upper and / or lower parts of it, replacing the auxiliary (s ) section (s) 3. The retainer 6 is put on the patient's head, fastening it under the chin, and retainers 7 on the ankles. If necessary, the retainers 7 are also fixed on the patient's hands. To the clamps 6 and 7, cables 8 are connected, which, through the blocks 10 installed on the rods 9, are pulled with weights 11, selected based on the characteristics of the patient's condition. Then, energy is supplied through the control unit 12 to the heating element 4 and to the vibration unit 5, setting the heating temperature to 40-60 ° C and the vibration frequency to 18-24 Hz. If necessary, the procedure is supplemented with acupressure for the active centers of problem areas. The duration of the procedure is 10-15 minutes. It is optimal to repeat the session 1-2 times a week for a month.

The advantages of this couch are the simplicity of its manufacture and use, the possibility of combining vibratory massage, traction and heat exposure with complete safety of the procedure.

The effectiveness of the couch was tested for 2019-2020 on the basis of LLC "Rosta Center", more than 1000 patients with various disorders of the musculoskeletal system were treated. No complications were noted during its use.

In particular, the following results were achieved:
