Description

The invention relates to medical equipment, namely to belts, corsets and bandages of the lower spine.

Injury or diseases of the lower spine and their consequences often cause pain or restriction of movement, leading people to suffering and impairing their ability to work. With osteochondrosis of the spine, vegetative-visceral disorders, regional disorders of thermoregulation and sweating, local edema or tissue pastes, skin trophic disorders, muscle hypotrophy, parasthesia or sympathalgia (VV Proskurin. Manual therapy of visceral manifestations of osteochondrosis of the Russian spine) can develop. Peoples' Friendship University. M., 1993, p.40). With the development of acute pain after injuries or operations on it, as well as with exacerbation of diseases, it is necessary to create a temporary local rest. To protect the spine from damage under dynamic loads, for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with diseases and with the consequences of injuries of the lumbar spine, various belts and corsets are developed and used. A variety of physical activities and emerging pathological processes in the lower spine encourages the development of new preventive devices.

Known lumbosacral corset according to US patent No. 3717143, containing a back made of elastic material with sides, pockets with metal plate inserts, Velcro strips on the sides and belts with buckles.

The disadvantage of this corset is the lack of structural elements in it, which increase the preventive efficiency of the device with dynamic loads on the lumbar spine by expanding the ability to control the level and magnitude of the local impact on the lumbar region.

A specific description of the operation of the device. Before using the device as a corset to protect the entire lumbar spine previously through the holes located in the middle of the back in the pockets 8 and 9 of the upper 3 and lower 4 parts of the back, all the way into the bottom of the pockets on the upper and lower ends of the back, enter the elastic inserts . Then, the sides 9 and 10 are applied with the inner surface to the clothes on the body. Stretch the left side due to the middle part 12 of the woven material with elastic rubber and at the same time the right side due to the middle part 13 of the woven material with elastic rubber. In a tense state fasten fasteners 11 and 15 on the stomach. Then, the sides 1 and 2 of the upper part of the device are pulled due to the middle parts 5 and 6 of woven material with elastic rubber and fastened with fasteners 7 and 14 on the abdomen or above the placed sides 9 and 10. If necessary, more local mechanical impact of the applied device should be strengthened in a certain area the lower backs disconnect the fasteners 7 and 14 of the upper part of the device, the sides together with the upper part of the back turn 180 ° outward. Lean the upper back against the back surface 3 lining on the outer surface 4 of the lower back. In this case, pockets 8 with inserts are placed between the pockets 9 with inserts in the lower back. With proper tension stretch the left side due to the middle part 5 of woven material with elastic rubber and at the same time the right side due to the middle part 6 of woven material with elastic rubber. In a tense state fasten fasteners 7 and 14 on the stomach.

Another specific example of the use of the device, if necessary, increased local mechanical impact of the belt on a specific area of the lower back. Pre-insert the inserts into the pockets and bend the back between the upper and lower rows of sides, fold the sides 1 and 2 onto the sides 9 and 10. Put the inner surface of the sides 9 and 10 on the clothes at the intended level of the lower back, fasten the fasteners 11 and 15 on the stomach. Then over the folded sides 9 and 10, with proper effort, pull the sides 1 and 2 and fasten the fasteners 7 and 14 over the stomach or over the already placed sides.

The significance of the differences of the claimed device from the prototype is as follows. The connection of all sides with one back ensures reliability of the mutual retention of both rows on the lower back, makes it possible to bend the back in the middle part and fold the rows of sides along with increasing the tension of the device on the lower back, as well as expand the ability to control the degree of tension and localize the impact on different parts of the lower back with each side of the sides . The execution of the middle part of each side of the woven material with elastic rubber expands the ability to control the degree of tension of the side and the strength of the impact on body tissues. The execution of pockets under the liners separately in the upper and lower parts of the back does not interfere with bending the back and folding the sides with strengthening the mechanical capabilities of the device. Placing the upper pockets vertically in the projection of the gaps between the lower pockets without significantly thickening the device on the body enhances the reliability of the functions of the liners. Performing the length of the upper sides with fasteners exceeding the length of the lower sides allows, after tensioning and fastening the lower row of boards, to fasten and measure the tension of the device on the body. The placement of the rows of sides with a gap between them on the same back, providing a back bend of 180 °, allows folds to change the impact area of the device on the lower back, to strengthen the strength of the superimposed belt and to regulate the tension force over a wider range. The holes in the pockets for the liners in the middle of the back facilitates the insertion of the liners into the pockets, folding the back without removing the liners and enhancing the reliability of the back.

Thus, the inventive safety belt in combination of features provides the expansion of the ability to control the level and magnitude of the local impact on the lumbar region, which increases the preventive effectiveness of the device with dynamic loads on the lumbar spine. The use of the device is possible in sports and in production.
