Description

The invention relates to medicine, namely to physiotherapy and can be used in carrying out physiotherapeutic procedures and in complex treatment.

State of the art

A known method of treating various diseases by artificially increasing the temperature of the human body, or artificially inducing hyperthermia - pyrotherapy. Pyrotherapy - increases immunity, increases the permeability of blood vessels and tissue barriers, as well as pyrotherapy can be used in cases of complex treatment of patients with diseases whose pathogens cannot multiply or multiply poorly when the body temperature rises, for example, viruses.

The usual method of pyrotherapy involves the injection of a temperature-raising drug such as injection, pyrogenal and sulfozin. This method is accompanied by intense muscle pain, asthenia, immobility, muscle necrosis at the injection site.

Known "electric heating diving clothing" containing electric heating elements placed on the inner surface of the elastic material adjacent to the body of the diver. The maximum temperature of the heating element does not exceed + 38 ° C. An electrically heated diving garment consists of an upper part and a lower part of the garment, which are interconnected by means of connecting wires and connected to the battery. The time of continuous operation of the connected sections without recharging is from 2 to 4 hours. It depends on the outside temperature and the intensity of the diver's work.

The disadvantage of this solution is that the clothing does not have temperature control, and also does not have the user's body temperature sensors. The elastic material has no sweat-wicking properties. (RU 2558409 C1).

The solution of US 5269369 A Temperature regulation system for the human body using heat pipes is known, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2B, made in the form of an overalls, including two circuits, one in the form of non-interconnected tubes having two ends located on the surface of the overalls and aimed at distributing the temperature between and from parts of the body, and a second circuit in the form of a heat exchanger strip located on top of the tubes in the waist area, in which heating elements and temperature sensors in the heat exchanger are built.

The disadvantage of this solution is that the overalls have two circuits, this complicates the design, while the tubes of the primary circuit are not interconnected, which reduces the efficiency of heating, since the liquid in the tubes does not circulate, but stands and warms up only at one point at the point of contact with a second circuit. Another disadvantage is that the solution does not have user temperature sensors, i.e. heating is carried out without taking into account the temperature of the user himself. The heat exchanger operates on the basis of the temperature inside the heat exchanger, which is not related to the user's temperature. In addition, such a lack of user temperature sensors and the work of the overalls without taking into account the user's temperature does not allow using this solution for pyrotherapy, since during pyrotherapy it is necessary to maintain the user's temperature at a given level in the range of 38-40 ° C, and not the temperature of the heating elements. Another disadvantage is that the base of the overalls does not have the ability to drain, which, with constant heating without taking into account the user's temperature, will lead to overheating and adverse consequences. "US 5269369 A https://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&d=PALL&s1=N5269369."

The task at which the claimed solution is directed is the development of a jumpsuit for physiotherapy and pyrotherapy, which makes it possible to change the user's body temperature and maintain it for a given time, in particular cases, allowing to monitor his condition. Another challenge is the development of a pyrotherapy method using overalls.

Disclosure of the essence of the invention

The stated problem according to the first variant is solved by making an elastic base in the form of a coveralls, with built-in current-carrying heating elements connected to the power supply unit and to the control unit.

The system of heating elements (2) is closed through a unit located on the front of the overalls and includes a pump (5) and a heater (6), which are connected to the control unit (3) and conditionally forms the upper part and the lower part of FIG. 2.

It should be noted that the fluid circulates in parallel across the top and bottom of the system. Along the upper part of the unit with the pump (5) and heater (6), the liquid rises up, passes through half of the anterior chest zone, through the anterior shoulder to the posterior shoulder, then down along the posterior forearm to the anterior forearm, up through the shoulder to the posterior chest, along the entire back chest to the second half down through the shoulder to the front forearm to the back forearm, up the back shoulder and to the front shoulder with the transition to the second front chest half, from which again into the unit with a pump (5), a heater (6). At the same time, the fluid circulates along the lower part from the node (5), (6) one half down the anterior femoral zone, descends through the knee down to the anterior calf, passes along it, rises to the knee, passes to the posterior calf, passes along it, rises up through the knee zone to the rear femoral, passes along both posterior femoral zones, goes down through the knee to the second posterior shin zone, passes it, rises to the knee and passes to the front shin, passes it, rises up through the second knee zone to the second front femoral, passes it and returns to the node (5), (6).

According to any of the options, the overalls are equipped with at least two temperature sensors, isolated from the base and aimed at taking readings of the user's body temperature, which makes it possible to monitor the user's temperature without resorting to additional measuring instruments. The sensor takes data and sends it to the control unit. Due to this, it allows you to regulate the user's body temperature, keeping it at a given level.

In the particular case of the performance of the overalls, the suit is equipped with a built-in at least one heart rate monitor (5), which records and sends data to the control unit. That allows you to monitor the patient's condition and, if necessary, correct and / or interrupt the procedure

The overalls can be powered by a battery or by connecting (3.1) to the mains.

The power supply can be combined with a control unit, in a particular case, it is equipped with a transmitter (wi-fi), (Bluetooth) for the possibility of transferring information to a PC or wireless means of communication, smartphone, tablet (4).

In a particular case of execution, a PC and / or a wireless communication device (4) can act as a control unit.

In the particular case of execution, the installed sensors or part of them are made autonomous, i.e. independent from each other and from the power supply of the central network, and transmitting data directly to the control unit (3). This design allows for verification measurements of the user's temperature and heart rate.

The control unit (3) regulates the user's body temperature, keeping it at a predetermined level, receives data from the sensors, records, and controls the user's state.

The jumpsuit is made with a hood (1.1) made in one piece with the base (1) of FIG. 12.

The claimed method includes carrying out pyrotherapy using overalls that increase the user's body temperature. For pyrotherapy procedures, the user is dressed in a jumpsuit, which includes a base (1) with heating elements (2) located on it, equipped with at least two temperature sensors and controlled by a control unit (3). Through the control unit (3), the user's body is heated by means of heating elements (2) to the temperature recommended for the procedure, for example, from 37 ° to 40 ° C.

With the help of temperature sensors, readings of the user's body temperature are taken, which are fed to the control unit (3). The control unit (3) regulates the heating temperature of the heating elements (2), maintaining the patient's temperature at a given level.

If the overalls are equipped with a heart rate monitor, the data is removed and transmitted to the control unit, monitoring the patient's condition (tachycardia).

If the overalls are additionally equipped with autonomous sensors, test measurements of the user's temperature and pulse are made and compared with the readings of the control unit sensors.

As a result, it becomes possible to carry out the pyrotherapy procedure without medication. The overalls according to any of the variants can be used in physiotherapy and pyrotherapy to change the body temperature of the wearer, i.
