State of the art

The known method of Velikanov II treatment of vertebrogenic insufficiency of cerebral circulation by increasing the pulse blood flow in the vessels of the vertebral-basilar basin, which consists in the fact that in the presence of asymmetry of the pulse blood flow in the vertebral arteries, use is made to extend the cervical spine, increasing the angle of forward thrust, while changing the thrust vector in the frontal plane, and upon reaching the maximum blood flow with optimal traction vectors in 2 planes - sagittal and frontal, continue traction with anovlennyh parameters and thrust force vector, using the traction device cervical spine comprising loop Glisson [1] (Document №:. 2194485, cl A61H 1/00, publication date: 20.12.2002 g).

The patent for the above method claims that it improves the efficiency of treatment of patients, however, the proposed method has several disadvantages: firstly, any sudden movement of the patient after the session creates a risk of serious injury, since the muscles and ligaments of the cervical region for a long time, being in an extended state, they become very vulnerable, and secondly, in all patients with increased lability of the cervical vertebrae there is a risk of their unwanted and uncontrolled displacement with unpredictability emymi consequences as during the session formed a compensatory mechanism of stabilization is weakened, and after removal of the external load head can not find his usual place, and thirdly, the session is held in a static mode, which creates conditions for soft tissue edema. A device for implementing the known method has a stationary location, it cannot be used by a person while working at a computer or taking with him on vacation or on a trip in a car. The Glisson loop is not structurally designed to, being inside it, make active movements, rotations, tilts and rotations of the head and neck, in addition, the device is not intended for independent use.

A known method of stretching the spine to restore intervertebral discs and a device for its implementation. The method consists in vertical suspension of the patient by the head, while the suspension of the patient is carried out with the support of his upper jaw on the first support element and with the support of the occipital bone of the skull in the region of the occipital protuberance on the second support element. The known device comprises a suspension means, traction, a first support element interacting with the upper jaw and connected with it through a rigid frame, a second support element interacting with the occipital bone of the skull [2] (document No: 2270650, class A61H 1/02, publication date : February 27, 2006).

The disadvantage of this method is the vertical suspension of the patient by the head, since the most delicate, cervical, spine is affected by the weight of the whole body, and with vertical suspension, the load of the weight of the whole body on the upper jaw and occipital bone of the skull is not physiologically natural, moreover, such the load is excessive and in the future, if you often use this known method, it will lead to irreversible pathological changes in the soft tissues, nerve fibers, blood vessels and capillaries. A disadvantage of the known device is its complex design, large size, discomfort in use, in addition, it is impossible to perform dynamically active movements of the head and neck during a session using such a device.

A device is known - a vertebro-manipulator for dosed traction of the cervical spine, containing an adjustable chair and an elastic headband movably connected with supports on the cheekbones, on the alveolar process of the upper jaw and an emphasis under the occipital protuberance, while the elastic headband is connected by a cable to a lever interacting with the block system, with with the help of which the cervical spine is stretched [3] (document No.: 2173130, class A61H 1/02, publication date: 09/10/2001).

The above device is too bulky and complicated with a large number of mechanical elements. As stated in the patent, this is due to its many functional capabilities, however, the design of the main element, the elastic headband, does not allow physiologically natural dynamically active turns, bends and rotations of the head and neck, since it (the elastic headband) will slip and slide off the side on the side, or it must be very tightly clamped on the head, which will cause pain. In addition, it should be indicated as a disadvantage, inability to use the device independently if necessary.

In addition to the above disadvantages, all known methods and devices use one common method of exposure, which not only casts doubt on the appropriateness of their use, but also allows us to argue that all these methods and devices are to one degree or another dangerous, and if healthy, at best If they don’t do any harm, then a person with a cervical impairment will aggravate the problem in the future, but seriously ill people can be made disabled. This technique is called traction - it is traction that provokes the formation of microcracks and micro-ruptures in the tissues of the intervertebral discs, which, in turn, lead to the formation of hernias, because after traction the affected segments of the vertebral-motor system again return to the “initial” pathological state, but to an even more injured.

Known closest to the invention "Methodology V.D. Gitta. " The basis of the method of V.D. Gitta laid the assumption that throughout the life of a person all his organs, joints, bones are in the process of constant restructuring, and the bone itself is a living, constantly growing and renewed tissue. A constant, methodical effect on the spine and joints can make them change in one direction or another. If the joint is gypsum, it will lose mobility in a couple of months, and if it is forced to move, it will "come to life", so the lack of movement in the spine leads to its gradual compression, destruction and - to osteochondrosis. One of the basic components of the method of V.D. Gitta became a theory about the benefits of micromotion - i.e. movements in "homeopathic" volumes that improve joint nutrition. Naturally, this is impossible without the constant, daily work of the patient himself, in whom micro-movements must become a habit and become a lifestyle. Performing them is easy, and this does not require much time and space. [4] (class: A61F 4/00, document - article “Methodology of V. D. Gitt”, website “www.gitt.ru” (http://www.gitt.ru/home/metodika_vdgitta/)

The known technique is effective and useful for the prevention and rehabilitation of joints of the cervical vertebrae, and this is confirmed by many years of positive experience in its application, however, the following should be noted:

- the cervical spine is not only the vertebrae and discs between them, it is a very complex vascular and muscular-ligamentous apparatus - a tight interweaving of many small, medium and fairly large blood and lymph vessels, nerve and muscle fibers, ligaments, tendons and soft connective tissues and, therefore, to maintain the physiologically natural functioning of the whole system, and even more so for its deep study, strengthening and training - micromotion, even performed regularly, is simply not enough, therefore have known technique can be recommended as a pretreatment before use of the claimed invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the field of medicine - therapeutic and prophylactic methods and means, and to the field of sports - training devices for the development and strengthening of muscles.

The technical result achieved by the implementation of the claimed method consists in ensuring the physiologically natural functioning of the vascular and muscular-ligamentous apparatus of the cervical spine, in restoring and improving blood circulation in the capillaries of soft and connective tissues, in addition, the method provides the possibility of independent dynamically active training sessions for any healthy person, and for patients in need of non-surgical treatment, it is possible, under the supervision of a qualified specialist, perform rehabilitation and relaxation preventive gymnastics.

The technical result of the claimed device is that the device has a simple, safe, reliable design, has light weight and compact size, which allows people of different ages and height to always have it with them in order to carry out the claimed method anywhere and in any time, if desired, or if necessary, to carry out an individual complex of simple movements, while independently adjusting the tension force of the elastic stretch, choosing the amplitude of movements and setting the desired intensity spine load.

To achieve the claimed technical result, a person performs in a standing position, or sitting on a chair, or in a car seat, or lying on an inclined or horizontal surface, or immersed in a bath of warm water, or while in a pool, lake, sea, without touching the bottom legs and using a special floating frame, head and neck in the range of the 3D maze physiologically natural for the intervertebral joints and muscular-ligamentous apparatus dynamically active amplitude movements, while continuously overcoming force from at least one spring extension, one end of which is fixed on a device that the operator holds in his mouth with his teeth, and the other end is fixed on any external mount.

The compact device with which the proposed method is carried out is an element interacting with the jaws and having the form of a shaped arm-rocker arm, rigidly connected or made in one piece with an orthopedic dental tray, and holes and / or grooves are made on the arm for attaching one or more elastic springy stretch marks, the shaped bracket itself is made in the form of a rocker arm with one, two, three or four shoulders, in addition, dental mouthguard in contact with the oral cavity to enhance com The usage patterns can be made of soft or porous hypoallergenic material, for example, polyethylene foam, latex, or silicone, the shaped beam can be made of any sufficiently strong and durable material, for example, metal, polymer, wood, plywood, thermoplastic, and the spring stretch can be and a cord, and a tube, and a ribbon, and a twisted spiral spring.

Labile reactive individual directed training, accessible to everyone - is the main goal of the claimed group of inventions. To achieve this goal, a safe, effective, publicly accessible method has been created to strengthen, prevent, rehabilitate and eliminate dysfunctions of the musculo-ligamentous apparatus of the cervical spine. To implement the proposed method, a portable compact device has been created, using which anyone can, at any place and any time, independently conduct effective training.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the operator, independently or under the supervision of a specialist (the first few sessions), makes isometric amplitude dynamically active movements with the head and neck in the maximum possible range for his physical condition and physiologically natural for the cervical intervertebral joints range of the 3D labyrinth, continuously overcoming constantly effective reactive force from at least one spring extension, one end of which is fixed to any external mount (if there is no external fastening, you can hold this end in your hands or hook it on the feet), and the other end is fixed on at least one shoulder of the shaped arm-rocker arm, in the middle of which a special orthopedic dental mouth guard is fixed, which the operator clamps during the session in the mouth between the teeth of the upper and lower jaw. The degree of elasticity of the springy stretch is selected individually, depending on the physical preparation of the operator, and can vary from a very soft rubber lace to harnesses or springs with a significant degree of elasticity.

Any person, always and everywhere having a compact device at hand for the implementation of the claimed method, is able to independently - at will or if necessary, provide a restorative or preventive, long-term or short-term, elastic or very soft, full-volume reactive effect:

- on all muscle and nerve fibers of the cervical spine, including deeply lying ones, involving them in physiologically natural functioning;

- on ligaments and tendons - restoring, maintaining and improving the biomechanical properties of their tissues;

- on the vertebrae and disks of the cervical and upper thoracic spine, creating favorable conditions for the formation and reliable maintenance of their optimal spatial location;

- on the muscles and gums of the upper and lower jaws, on the soft tissues of the upper palate and larynx, to improve blood circulation in their vessels and capillaries.

The claimed method of development, strengthening, prevention, rehabilitation and elimination of dysfunctions of the musculo-ligamentous apparatus of the cervical spine, which consists in performing dynamically active movements of the head and neck, in the range of the 3D maze, physiologically natural for the intervertebral joints, with overcoming the continuously acting reactive force from one or several elastic stretch marks securely fixed both on the external mount and on the shaped rocker arm, clamped in the mouth between the teeth of the upper and lower jaw, which is rigidly connected with its middle part to the orthopedic dental mouth guard (or is integral with it), and the beam can be made with one, two or more shoulders, on which it is possible to fix springy stretch marks (fasteners in the form of holes, grooves, clothespins and etc.)

The invention has applied value, as it makes it possible to use the proposed method for almost any person, at any convenient time and anywhere and in urgent need, and as an easy preventive procedure, or for active strength training.

As a result of the regular use of the invention, after one to two months of training, the operator begins to manifest a number of "side" effects:

- with the activation of cerebral circulation improves memory, visual acuity and clarity, emotional and mental state;

- with an increase in tone in the soft connective tissues, the upper palate stops sagging and restores its elasticity, and older people can get rid of night snoring;

- With active blood circulation in the soft tissues of the oral cavity, it ceases to progress or periodontal disease and periodontal gum completely disappear.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, which do not fully cover, and do not limit the entire scope of the claims of the proposed technical solution, being illustrations of private options for its implementation and use.

Detailed Description of Drawings

In FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the use of a device with an H-shaped rocker arm 1 and with four spring extensions 4. The device is clamped in the mouth by an orthopedic mouthguard 2, and the extensions 4 are fixed at one end with external fasteners 5, and with the other end with fasteners 3, moreover, the fastening elements 3 can be in the form of both holes and grooves of various sizes and configurations.

In FIG. 2 in three projections shows an embodiment of a device with a single-arm bracket-rocker 1, on which the fastening elements 3 are made in the form of grooves and in the form of holes, one or two stretch marks 4 are fixed on them, and the dental mouthguard 2 can be made integrally with the bracket rocker 1.

In FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a device with a two-arm bracket-rocker 1, in the middle part of which a kappa 2 is fixed, and on the rocker 1 there are two fasteners 3 for fixing stretch marks 4, one or two, on each of the fasteners 3.

In FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a device with a two-arm bracket-beam 1, in which the shoulders are L-shaped, kappa 2 is fixed in the middle of the beam 1, and each of the arms of the beam 1 has two fasteners 3,

In FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a device with a three-arm bracket-beam 1, on which the mouthguard 2 is made integrally in the middle of the beam 1, and on each of the arms of the beam 1 there are fasteners 3.

In FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a device with a three-arm bracket-beam 1, in which two arms are L-shaped, kappa 2 is made integrally in the middle of the beam 1, and each of the arms of the beam 1 has two fasteners 3.

In FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of a device with an H-shaped rocker arm 1, in which the mouthguard 2 is made integrally in the middle part of the rocker arm 1 and can be clamped in the mouth on both sides, and each of the arms of the rocker arm 1 has three fasteners 3.

Anyone can easily implement their own proposed method. Having determined the choice of device, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 or FIG. 7 (the choice depends on where the session will be held and how many stretch marks 4 will be used), then the device is prepared for use as follows - the operator fixes one end of the stretch 4, on the beam 1, in the fastener 3, and the second end of the stretch 4 fixes on the external mount 5 (or simply picks it up), and then clamps the mouthguard 2 in the mouth between the teeth of the upper and lower jaw. When everything is ready, the operator begins a session of rocking and inclined (side to side, top to bottom, back and forth and diagonals), rotational (as if drawing imaginary flat or volumetric spirals, figure eight and labyrinths, clockwise and counterclockwise) and vibrating (shaking) movements of the head and neck with various intensities and amplitudes, overcoming a continuously acting reactive force from a springy stretch 4, and all movements are best performed to music, for relaxation - to calm, for strength training - to rhythm hydrochloric. A session can last from several seconds to several hours, and the number of sessions from one to several tens per day, depending on the desire, need, or on the physical condition of the operator.

The list and sequence of movements are not limited to the above options and can be selected individually by each person.

It is possible to use the proposed compact device anywhere and in any free minute, while this does not require any special skills and adaptations, because all the movements performed are not only understandable and physiologically completely natural for any person, but also provided by nature for the normal functioning of all muscles, internal tissues and organs of the cervical spine, because only in this way they provide active blood circulation, which is necessary for the life of the whole body , And after exercise does not require the operator (after the traction) time to rest and adapt.

The best option for implementing the claimed method is to use it in the workplace sitting at a computer, because a modern person engaged in this type of activity is most vulnerable and needs to train, strengthen and rehabilitate the musculo-ligamentous apparatus of the cervical spine, therefore, it will be very effective to turn the working time spent at the computer in a dynamically active training, and in this case it is better to use a shaped beam with two or three shoulders on two, three or four three stretch marks that are fixed to external fixtures located either on the ceiling, or on the walls, or on furniture, or on the floor.

Drivers are in dire need of such training, because they have to arrive for a long time in a static state (being in a limited cabin space) in traffic jams or waiting (taxi drivers - passengers, customers - customers, couriers - customers, etc., etc.). In this case, the best option for use is a compact device with one shoulder on the shaped beam and with one or two extensions. However, it is impossible to use the claimed method while driving while driving at high speed.

Another embodiment of the claimed method is lying on the bed, and before bedtime to relieve stresses accumulated during the day, and after waking up, in order to cheer up. For this, a device with a single-arm beam and with two extensions that are fixed on the beam in a mounting place, and on two external fasteners spaced apart on the sides, on the ceiling, or wall, is suitable. The same can be done by taking a bath, but if you use a floating frame with external mounts, you can implement the claimed method in the pool, and in the lake, and in the sea.

The proposed labile reactive individual directed training as a safe, effective and accessible way to strengthen, prevent, rehabilitate and eliminate dysfunctions of the musculo-ligamentous apparatus of the cervical spine, implemented using a compact device, is recommended for use by both professional athletes and people without special training. Regular use of the invention will strengthen muscles, ligaments and tendons, activate blood circulation in the vessels and capillaries of connective tissues, get rid of nerve endings, spasms and stiffness of the cervical spine. However, when starting classes, one should not forget about a sense of proportion; one must remember that increasing the degree of elasticity of springy stretch marks, increasing the time, intensity, amplitude of movements and the number of classes should be done gradually - without overloads.
