It can also be used for preventive purposes to relieve stress on the spine in any occupation, athletes after training, drivers after hard and prolonged sitting work, etc. The device can be used both in the hospital and at home.

A device for massage and traction of the spine (RU No. 2262915, IPC A61H 1/02, publ. 2005.10.27), comprising a body, the working surface of which is made in the form of a couch and is equipped with a heating element and a device for fixing the patient’s body, placed inside the body massage a node made in the form of a platform with rollers-massagers, nodes of wait, reciprocating movement and tilt of the body and a software and computing unit.

A device for stretching the spine (RU No. 2294732, IPC 61 H1 / 02, publ. 2007.03.10), comprising a patient bed located on the bed with fastening elements, having a fixed part and a moving part connected to the lumbar tensioner, equipped with a support with a lifting a mechanism for the patient’s head, a neck tensioner and a shock mechanism mounted on a fixed part, consisting of pushers of different heights and cams mounted on the shaft.

A disadvantage of the known devices is the complexity of the design and the inability to use the devices during exacerbations, since any movement causes acute pain. The patient needs peace. These devices can only be used during the remission stage.

A device is known for traction of the spine (RU No. 2265427, IPC А61Н 1/02, publ. 10.12.2005), comprising a hollow body, the working surface of which is made in the form of a couch with a slot in the region of the spine, cervical and lumbar traction units located inside the body spine, the last of which is made in the form of a traction mechanism with a worm drive. Each of the blocks is equipped with a corresponding traction arm and a sensor for monitoring a given traction force. The couch consists of a fixed thoracic and movable hip sections, the last of which is mounted with the possibility of longitudinal reciprocating movement on rollers and kinematically connected with the traction lever of the lumbar spine traction unit, and the screw traction mechanism - with the worm drive of the lumbar spine traction unit.

A disadvantage of the known device is also the complexity of the design, the inability to use the device during exacerbations, since it can only be used during the remission stage.

The invention solves the problem of simplifying the design and the possibility of relieving pain during an exacerbation of diseases, since all known devices do not allow this, they can only be used during the remission stage.

The technical result consists in simplifying the design, the possibility of relieving pain during an exacerbation of the disease, improving the usability of the patient and the treating staff.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in a rehabilitation vertebral stand containing a frame, the working surface of which is made in the form of a platform with a lifting mechanism, consisting of fixed and movable parts, and fastening elements, new is that the platform consists of two movable parts with installed between them with an automatic lock, on one of the moving parts there are slots in which axial stops are mounted with the possibility of movement, neck stops and a neck shaft are installed on the frame k, the frontal part of the belt and fixed for laying head is mounted on the base frame control unit and the lifting mechanism comprising a drive shaft and the chassis, wherein the cervical and axillary abutments stops are provided separate actuators mounted on the frame and connected to the control unit.

The invention is illustrated by drawings. Figure 1 shows a General view of the device; on Fig 2 - (photo) front view of the device; figure 3 - (photo) side view of the device; figure 4 - (photo) is a top view of the device, the front part.

The vertebral rehabilitation bench contains a frame 1, the working surface of which is made in the form of a lifting platform, consisting of two moving parts 2 and 3 and a fixed part 4 for laying the head. On the frame 1 there are installed devices for fixing the head - neck stops 5. Between the neck stops the neck roll 6 is fixedly fixed. The frontal belt 7 is fixed on the frame 1.

On the movable part 2, slots 8 are made, in which soft axillary stops 9 are mounted with the possibility of movement.

On a fixed base 10 of the frame 1, an electric drive 11 for lifting the platform 1 is installed by means of the running shaft 12. On the base 10 of the frame 1, the control unit 13 is fixed.

The neck stops 5 and axillary stops 9 are equipped with separate electric drives (not shown in the drawing) for adjusting the width spacing that are mounted on the frame 1 and connected to the control unit 13. This makes it possible to adjust the neck and axillary stops for any patient complexion. Between the movable parts 2 and 3, an automatic lock is installed at the bottom of the platform 1 (not shown in the drawing), which, when the neck is pulled out, fixes the movable parts 2 and 3 to each other, and when the lumbar is pulled out, it automatically disconnects them.

Stand rehabilitation vertebral works as follows. To stretch the cervical spine, the patient is laid on the moving parts 2 and 3 of the platform 1. The patient’s head is laid on the fixed part 4 and the neck roll 6. The neck stops 5 are moved close to the patient’s neck. The frontal strap 7 fixes the patient's head from above. Using the control unit 13, the platform 1 is lifted. The movable parts 2 and 3 are connected together using an automatic lock and do not diverge when the platform is lifted. The patient’s head, fixed in the neck stops 5, remains stationary, and the moving parts 2 and 3, together with the patient’s body, begin to move downward under the force of their own weight. The elevation angle of the platform and the procedure time for stretching the cervical spine is determined only by the doctor.

To stretch the lumbar spine, the patient with an open lower back is placed on the moving parts 2 and 3 of the platform. Set axillary stops 9 to the required width across the width of the chest of the patient using an electric drive. The position of the patient's body is fixed using the stops 9. In this case, the hip portion of the patient’s body is located on the moving part 3 of the platform 1.

When lifting platform 1, the moving parts 2 and 3 are disconnected. Part 2 remains stationary under the patient’s body, and part 3 begins to move downward along with the lower part of the patient’s body. The exhaust force is set automatically and depends on the angle of elevation of the platform 1 and the weight of the patient. The time of the procedure depends on the fatigue in the armpits of the patient. As a rule, this is 30-40 minutes.

Since during an exacerbation of osteochondrosis, any movements cause acute physical pain, treatment of the patient can be carried out only in a calm state. Any massages at this time are contraindicated. This design provides a stationary state of the patient during the procedure, so it can be used for exacerbation of the disease. The patient’s body is not fixed by any other devices except axillary stops, which is convenient for both the doctor and the patient. The design of the stand is very simple, very convenient for both the patient and the doctor. Clinical trials have shown the effectiveness of the use of this device, simplicity of design, safe operation and the elimination of injuries to organs.

The vertebral rehabilitation bench allows you to use it both during an exacerbation of the disease, and as a preventive measure. It is possible to use the stand at home.
