Abstract

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: device can be used for treatment musculoskeletal system of adults and children as well as for correction of muscular misbalance and gravitational adaptation. Device has support members and vertical posts mounted onto the members; there is also platform for placement of patient. Platform is made in form of rectangular plate, onto which plate pedestal is placed. Plate is disposed symmetrically between vertical posts and is suspended onto rigid members. Hinges onto horizontal crossbar are disposed among vertical posts to fix ends of any element. Other end of any rigid member is connected by hinges onto sides of platform, which sides are parallel to plane of rotation of rigid members, which form sharp angle between vertical post and rigid member for adjustment and fixation of size of the angle. Parts of musculosketal system of patient (neck part of spinal column, hip area and spinal column itself) are subject to centrifugal influence. Weak chains (with damaged muscular balance in the chain during process of rocking endure non-stationary loads, which stimulate patient to exhibit accented forces in weak chains. Value of those forces increases depending on distance to platform.

EFFECT: improved efficiency of restoration of function of musculoskeletal system.

Description

The invention relates to medical equipment, in particular to devices for restoring the function of the musculoskeletal system and coordination of movements, and can be used in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system of adults and children, for correcting muscle imbalance and gravitational adaptation.

A device is known as a "health disk" containing a disk base and a spherical support mounted in the sleeve with the possibility of its removal, and balls located under the base (AS USSR No. 1251931 according to class A 63 B 22/14 from 08/23/86 g) .

The disadvantage of this device is that it does not form the skills of dynamic and vestibular stability and is not suitable for restoring the gravitational adaptation and function of the musculoskeletal system.

The closest technical solution for the totality of essential features is a device that, to increase the efficiency of formation of vestibular stability and coordination of movements, contains support elements with vertical racks installed on them and a platform for accommodating the patient (AS USSR No. 1.55.277 class A 63 B 22/14 of 05.15.85).

The disadvantage of this device is the low efficiency of restoring the function of the musculoskeletal system of the patient.

The problem to which the claimed invention is directed, is to increase the efficiency of restoration of the function of the musculoskeletal system and coordination of movements.

The problem is solved due to the fact that in the device for restoring the function of the musculoskeletal system and coordination of movements, containing supporting elements with vertical racks installed on them and a platform for placing the patient, the platform is made in the form of a rectangular plate on which the cabinet is located, the plate is located symmetrically between vertical uprights and suspended on rigid elements, one end of each of which is pivotally mounted on horizontal rungs placed between vertical oykami and the other end of each rigid member is pivotally mounted on the sides of the platform parallel to the plane of rotation of rigid members forming between the vertical post and the rigid element acute angle with the possibility of adjusting and fixing its magnitude.

Figure 1 presents a General view of a device for restoring the function of the musculoskeletal system and coordination of movements.

In Fig.2 - view A in Fig.1.

The device contains supporting elements 1 with vertical racks 2, 3, 4, 5 installed on them. The upper ends of the racks abut through the gaskets in the ceiling (not shown conditionally).

Between racks 2, 4 and 3, 5 there are horizontal rails 6 and 7, and between the vertical racks there is a symmetrical platform 8 in the form of a plate, mainly made of wood, on which a patient stand 9 is mounted, while the platform is suspended on rigid elements, mainly from square, 10, 11, 12, 13. One end of each element is pivotally mounted on horizontal bars 6 and 7, and the other end of each element is pivotally mounted on the side walls of platform 8 parallel to the plane of rotation of the rigid elements. The rigid elements are fixed in such a way that an angle “α” is formed between the vertical column and the rigid element with the possibility of changing and fixing its value.

To do this, on the side surface of the platform there are a number of holes 14 for installing a cylindrical hinge element.

The device operates and is used as follows.

The patient sits on a pedestal and performs under the supervision of an assistant swinging the platform to the sides. The movement of the platform is carried out along a radius with the center of a circle located significantly below the plane of the platform.

In this case, sections of the patient’s musculoskeletal system (cervical spine, pelvic region and spine) undergo centrifugal effects, while weak links (with impaired muscle balance) in this chain undergo unsteady loads during the swing process, which cause the patient to accentuated efforts in weak links, and the magnitude of these efforts rises from the center of the mentioned circle, because the angular velocity of the areas remote from the center is higher than the underlying ones.

If during this procedure a special weighted hat is put on the patient’s head, then the load will be increased if necessary. In addition, in addition to the position of the patient on the platform while sitting or standing, it is also possible that he is standing on his knees, on his head, and also when he is sitting on a pedestal at various angles of it relative to the X or Y axis, the character of effects on the musculoskeletal system increases. Changing the attachment points of the ends of the rigid elements 10 ÷ 13 on the platform changes the angle "α", which, accordingly, changes the angular speeds of individual sections of the musculoskeletal system and the nature of the loads on it.

In addition to these effects on the musculoskeletal system of the patient, he develops skills of dynamic and vestibular stability, and correction of muscle imbalance and muscle strengthening restore and enhance coordination of movement and gravitational adaptation.

Thus, the use of this device allows you to more effectively restore the function of the musculoskeletal system, to bind together the elements of the musculoskeletal system in both children and adults.
