Description

A device for training muscles and stretching the spine and the method of its use. The invention relates to the medical industry and, in particular, to the manufacture of means for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the spine.

Known devices for training muscles and stretching the spine, containing support legs and a vertical holder made with the possibility of rotation around the horizontal axis (application for the invention of the Russian Federation No. 2004134034 from 11/22/2004).

These devices are quite laborious to manufacture, since initially they require accurate installation of the initial position of the vertical holder relative to the vertical plane.

In addition, they are designed for fixed positions of the vertical holder relative to the vertical plane and do not allow you to adjust the initial and intermediate positions during operation depending on the individual characteristics of the physique of users and the required optimal angle of rotation. The specified device is the closest in technical essence to the proposed invention.

The technical result of the invention is to improve the usability of the device, to reduce its cost by reducing the accuracy of setting the position of the vertical holder relative to the vertical axis, in expanding the operational capabilities of the device due to the use of different physique patients.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the device for training muscles and stretching the spine, containing support legs and a vertical holder, made with the possibility of rotation around the horizontal axis, at least one element with at least one hole for installing means with a supporting surface, made with the possibility of regulation by means of means with a supporting surface of at least one angle of rotation of the vertical holder.

A method of using a device for training muscles and stretching the spine, containing support legs and a vertical holder, made with the possibility of rotation around the horizontal axis, at least one element with at least one hole for installing means with a supporting surface, made with the possibility of regulation by means with a supporting surface of at least one angle of rotation of the vertical holder, according to which the patient is fixed on the vertical holder in the area of the legs and pelvis, turning moves on the horizontal bar clockwise together with the vertical holder to the selected rotation angle, performs the necessary exercises and (or) just for some time is at a certain angle to the horizontal surface, after which it is turned counterclockwise together with the vertical holder and returns to its original position, supplemented the fact that before fixing the patient on a vertical holder in the area of the legs and pelvis with the help of a tool with a supporting surface, at least the initial goal of the vertical holder.

Figure 1 shows a device for training muscles and stretching the spine, a General view; figure 2 is the same side view; figure 3 - means with a supporting surface.

A device for training muscles and stretching the spine contains a vertical holder 1 with means for fixing the legs 2, connected to the crossbar 3, made on the support posts 4 with the possibility of rotation, a device for limiting the angle of rotation, consisting of disks 5 with holes 6, 7, 8 for means 9 and 10 with supporting surfaces 11 and 12, respectively, as well as patient fixation elements in the form of a safety belt 13 and support 14.

The tool 10 with the supporting surface 12 serves to adjust the initial position of the vertical holder 1, and the tool 9 with the supporting surface 11 serves to adjust the position of the vertical holder when the user is upside down.

Consider a tool with a supporting surface 10 (figure 3), which may be the same with other means with a supporting surface or different from them.

It contains the middle part 15 and the end parts 16 and 17.

Profile surface 18 of the middle part 15 and is directly a supporting surface. In this case, the end part 16 is made with a thread for connection with the hole 8 in the disk 5, and the end part 17 is made without a thread.

The cross section of the middle part 15 is limited by a segment of curve 19 having the shape of an Archimedean spiral.

The ends of the segment of the Archimedean spiral can turn into straight lines (shown by the dashed line).

In the process of rotation of the tool with the supporting surface in the holes 8, the distance from the supporting surface 19 to the axis of rotation O changes, as a result of which the distance of the supporting surface 19 to the supporting column 4 either increases or decreases, depending on the direction of rotation 4. Correspondingly, the angle α also changes between the axial line of the vertical holder 1 and its projection on a vertical plane.

The angle α, which determines the initial position of the vertical holder 1, can be selected optimal for each user, taking into account his physique.

The angles that determine the working position of the vertical holder in the process of the user performing training exercises can be selected for each user individually, taking into account his well-being and on the advice of a doctor.

The device is used as follows.

Using the device, the rotation angle limits are selected and, by using one of the holes on the disk 5, the initial and working rotation angles of the vertical holder 1 are set optimal.

The most important in this case is the initial angle of rotation of the vertical holder (α), which determines the possibility of rapid rotation of the vertical holder 1 and the user entering the working position. A more accurate selection of the working position of the vertical holder is made by rotating means with a supporting surface (including 9 and 10) in the holes 6, 7, 8.

To perform exercises, the user's body is fixed by means of fixing the legs 2 and a safety belt 13 to prevent falling when exiting training mode or stretching the spine.

Having done these actions, the user transfers the center of gravity of the body through the crossbar 3 and flips with it to a predetermined angle. Then, for a certain time, the necessary exercises are recommended by a doctor or a specialist trainer.

The training mode is exited by moving the user's center of gravity through the bar, including using the hands on the vertical holder.

After returning to the initial state, safety belts are removed from the trunk and legs. This ends the session.

Thus, for smoothly adjusting the position of the vertical holder, the tool with the supporting surface is not only replaceable, but also rotatable in the hole around its axis. It can also have a detachable connection with the element containing the holes in which it is installed.

The most convenient is a detachable connection made threaded.

In order to reduce the complexity of manufacturing, a threaded connection can be made from one end of the tool with a supporting surface.

Means with a supporting surface have a working part, the cross section of which is in the form of a rectangle or limited by a segment of an Archimedean spiral.

In this case, the ends of the segment of the Archimedean spiral can turn into straight lines, including those made mutually perpendicular.

Means with a supporting surface are in some cases replaceable. They can have a supporting surface made the same or structurally different, taking into account the loads acting on them. In addition, they can be made with interchangeable pads.

In addition to the disk, a support stand can be used as an element with holes. Thus, a method of using a device for training muscles and stretching the spine, containing support legs and a vertical holder, made with the possibility of rotation around the horizontal axis, at least one element with at least one hole for installing means with a supporting surface, made with the possibility regulation by means of a support surface of at least one angle of rotation of the vertical holder, according to which the patient is fixed on the vertical holder in the area of the legs and the pelvis, rotates on the horizontal bar clockwise together with the vertical holder to the selected angle of rotation, performs the necessary exercises and (or) just for a while is at a certain angle to the horizontal surface, after which it turns counterclockwise together with the vertical holder and returns to the original condition, characterized in that before the patient is fixed on a vertical holder in the area of the legs and pelvis with the help of means with a supporting surface is set optimal, at least re, the initial angle of the vertical holder.

The advantages of the proposed technical solution:

1. Accurate setting of optimal rotation angles using regulation tools, which allows you to choose the optimal training regime, get the maximum effect, avoiding any negative consequences for the most numerous users, taking into account their individual characteristics related to physique and lifestyle.

Under certain conditions, namely when there is the required number of holes on at least one disk and a certain profile of the support surface of the means with the support surface, it is possible to achieve smooth adjustment not only of the initial position, but also of the possibility by adjusting the position of the vertical holder (by rotation in the holes of the means with a supporting surface) install a vertical holder in any working position in the range of angles from 0 to 180 degrees.

2. Reducing the cost of measuring tools for measuring the position of the vertical holder relative to the vertical plane, since less accurate measurement of the angle of rotation of the vertical holder is required.

3. The expansion of operational capabilities in connection with the fixation of the vertical holder in any position in space relative to the vertical plane in the range from 0 to 180 degrees, which allows you to fix the vertical holder with the user in any position. Accordingly, the circle of users is expanding.

The proposed technical solution has novelty, is industrially applicable, explicitly for the average specialist from the prior art does not follow.
