RU40890U1 - MASSAGE DEVICE - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of medicine and is intended for massage mainly of the upper and lower extremities in the treatment of various diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The purpose of the utility model is to increase the effectiveness of the therapeutic effect on the limbs. The massage device contains massage elements made of ebonite and located in the middle of three axes connected to each other in an equilateral triangle, and it is possible to connect two triangles into a six-ray star.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of medical equipment intended for massage mainly of the upper and lower extremities in the treatment of various diseases: degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the extremities, fractures of bones and joints, ruptures and traumatic injuries of the tendon-muscle apparatus, contractures of various joints, paresis of nerves, neurodystrophic processes ( Sudeck's syndrome).

A device for limb massage containing inflatable cuffs, a pneumosupercharger and a control system (1) is known.

The complexity of the design, the high cost and the complexity of the service limit the scope of this device.

A device for massage, containing a guide chain with massage rollers (2).

The disadvantage of this device is the low effectiveness of the therapeutic effect.

A device is known comprising guide chains with massage rollers and handles (3).

The disadvantage of this massage device is the low efficiency of limb massage.

Known massager containing a housing and mounted on the axes of the massage elements (4).

The disadvantage of this device is the inconvenience of using massage the limbs.

Also known massage device containing massage elements mounted on the axis (5).

The disadvantage of this device is the low effectiveness of the therapeutic effect during massage of the limbs.

The purpose of creating a utility model is to increase the effectiveness of therapeutic effects during massage of the limbs.

This goal is achieved in that the massage elements are located in the middle of the three axes, interconnected in the form of an equilateral triangle and equipped with a handle located on one of the tops; moreover, the device is composed of two equilateral triangles in the form of a six ray star and combined by bonds of an elastic material, the massage elements are made of a material that forms electrostatic charges of a negative sign when rubbed against the human skin, the massage elements are made of ebonite, the handles are located on two opposite rays stars.

Comparison of the proposed device with others known in the field of medicine, showed its compliance with the criteria of the utility model.

The utility model is illustrated by graphic material. Figure 1 shows a General view of the massage device; figure 2 is a variant of a massage device made in the form of six ray stars; figure 3 and figure 4 shows the options.

The proposed massage device contains massage elements 1 made of a material that forms, when rubbed against human skin, electrostatic charges of a negative sign, for example, from hard rubber. Massage elements 1 are mounted on three axes 2 in their middle part and connected in the form of an equilateral triangle with a handle 3 on one of the vertices (see figure 1). Two triangles can be combined into a single structure in the form of a six ray star (see Fig. 2) using ties 4 of an elastic material, for example rubber.

Massage device is used as follows. Massaged limb is placed in the space 5 of the inner part of the triangle and, holding the handles 3, produce a reciprocating movement along the limb. When moving on massage elements 1 made of ebonite, due to friction on the patient’s skin, electrostatic charges of a negative sign arise, which “drain” onto the patient’s body and have an electrotherapeutic effect.

The combined effects of massage and electron-therapeutic effects can increase the effectiveness of therapeutic effects and reduce the time of treatment and recovery, as well as prevent varicose veins, improve circulation of venous blood and lymph, and stabilize cardiovascular activity.

The utility model can and should be used for the treatment and prevention of degenerative diseases of the extremities, fractures of bones and joints, ruptures and traumatic injuries of the tendon-muscle apparatus, contractures of various joints, paresis of nerves, neurodystrophic processes (Zudek syndrome). It should be noted that the proposed device can be used for both upper and lower extremities.
