Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns medical equipment, particularly aids that provide and maintain a healthy status of a person of various age groups and can be used for correction of muscular imbalance in axial skeleton, pelvis and shoulder girdle muscles. A corrective training apparatus comprises a frame and a body representing a "П"-rack with a replaceable load fastener assembly. Said replaceable load fastener assembly comprises a rod with its one end being located in a hole of a horizontal shelf of the "П"-rack with the replaceable load fixed thereon. On the inner face of the horizontal shelf, there is a bushing provided. The second end of the rod passes through the bushing and has a cylindrical roller. Between the roller and bushing on the rod, there is a compression spring. The external surface of the horizontal shelf incorporates stop blocks in load motion. The frame contains sulcate supports for shins and forearms.

EFFECT: simplified design and application of the training apparatus with improving its performance.

Description

The invention relates to the field of medicine and medical technology, in particular to means that ensure and maintain a healthy state of a person of various age groups, and can be used to correct muscle imbalance in the muscles of the axial skeleton, pelvis of the trunk and shoulder girdle.

A known design of a simulator designed for the development of muscles of the body, neck, spine and hip joints (US patent No. 4.305.579 according to class MKI A63B 23/02 from 12/15/81).

The disadvantage of this device is that when it is used, unwanted compressive loads act on the spinal column, which increases the likelihood of damage to it.

A simulator design is also known, comprising a hull and a support section, each of which is fixed on the axis with the possibility of rotation and fixing one relative to the other, and a load located on the hull section (AS USSR No. 1,678.397 according to class A63B 23/02 from 1991).

The disadvantages of this device are the limited range of variable loads for muscle development, as well as the complexity and high material consumption of the device.

The closest technical solution for the totality of essential features is the corrector simulator containing the hull and supporting sections, and the loads located on the hull and supporting sections in the form of removable disks (RF patent No. 2.143.301 according to class A63B 23/02 of 12.27.99 g.).

The disadvantages of this device are the complexity of the simulator caused by a large number of nodes and parts, the presence of a large number of loads secured to each supporting section, and the relatively lengthy preparation for using the simulator. In addition, the use of a simulator involves the participation of an assistant.

The problem to which the claimed invention is directed, is to simplify the design and use of the simulator while increasing its efficiency.

The problem is solved due to the fact that in the simulator-corrector containing the base, the housing with the removable load attachment unit located on it, the housing is made in the form of a U-shaped rack, and the removable load attachment unit is made in the form of a rod, one end of which is located in the holes of the horizontal shelf of the U-shaped rack with a removable load fixed on it, and on the second end passed through a sleeve located on the inside of the horizontal shelf, a cylindrical semi-rigid roller is fixed, and between the roller sleeve on the shaft freely arranged a compression spring mounted travel stops when driving the load on the horizontal flange outer surface, and on the basis of semi-rigid trough has a support for the forearm and shins.

Figure 1 presents a General view of the simulator-corrector.

Figure 2 - illustration of the work on the simulator-corrector.

The device comprises a housing 1 made in the form of a U-shaped rack with a horizontal shelf 2, an attachment unit 3 for a removable load, consisting of a rod 4, one end of which 5 is passed through an opening in the horizontal shelf. At the end 5, a removable load 6 is detachably fixed, for example, in the form of a disk. At the other end of the rod 4, passed through the sleeve 7, a stop is fixed in the form of a cylindrical, semi-rigid roller 8. A compression spring 9 is located between the stop and the sleeve 7, and travel stops 10 are fixed over the load when the load moves up while working on the simulator. On the floor under the shelf 2 there are gutter-shaped semi-rigid supports for the lower leg 11 and forearm 12. The rod 4 is placed in the sleeve 7 with a gap that ensures the swing of the rod during operation with an angle of deviation of the rod relative to the vertical equal to 5-7 °.

The device operates as follows.

Before using the device, a load is established, the weight of which is determined by the sex, age and physical data of the person (from 5 to 100 kg). Then the user becomes under the horizontal shelf 2, having previously placed both lower legs and both forearms in the gutter-shaped supports 11 and 12 with back deflection (Fig. 2) with subsequent movements of raising the back and lowering the abdomen with back deflection, overcoming the physical effect of the load and the spring. The presence of travel limiters when moving the load up does not allow to increase the load above the maximum permissible, which ultimately makes it possible to fully control the segmental load on the muscles of the spine and to use the cascade principle of their connection and inclusion in biomechanical loads.

When the spine bends from a single arch of kyphosis into a single arch of lordosis, the vertebrae undergo the full amplitude of physical forward flexion until the body is fully extended backward. By varying the points of application of force from an external focus, it is possible to redistribute and vary the effort into weaker departments and thereby train them depending on strength capabilities and endurance to the number of repetitions.

Since the user himself changes comfortable loads, rhythm and amplitude, training is completely safe, and this allows you to quickly achieve positive dynamics.

During this work on this simulator, the muscles of the knee, thigh, buttocks, chest and abdominal muscles are included in the movement, which increases the efficiency of the procedure as a general healing process not only on the spine, but also on other muscles of the trunk and pelvis, which are difficult to incorporate into the cyclic, monotonous working rhythm of the procedure.

Moreover, metered compression and stretching in a single cascade cycle of all body cavities separated by physiological diaphragms (pelvic cavity - abdominal cavity - chest cavity) allows the prevention of organ prolapse, their adhesion and displacement.

The proposed simulator-corrector is simple in its design, contains a small number of parts and assemblies, is simple to carry out procedures and increases their efficiency.
