Abstract

The invention is intended for physiotherapy. The purpose of the invention is the creation of cyclical jets of water diverging from the spine. The device contains central hydroactivators 1 and peripheral hydroactivators 2, each of which is made in the form of two coaxially arranged external pipe with a slot and an internal pipe 5 with openings 6, a water supplying collector 7, an electric motor shaft 8. Two symmetrically located in the center of the hydraulic actuator 1 have on the inside pipe 5, holes 6, cut through two mutually intersecting spirals, one of which has a left, and the other - a right direction. On the hydraulic actuator 2, the right direction of cutting the helix goes to the left. Peripherally located hydroactivators have inside a rotating pipe 5, in which the holes 6 are cut through in only one spiral. The device stimulates the flow of interstitial fluid, blood and lymph. 5 il.

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to devices for physiotherapeutic procedures intended for carrying out a back massage with predominantly massaging the paravertebral area in hydropathic clinics of hospitals, sanatoriums and dispensaries.

The purpose of the invention is the creation of cyclical jets of water diverging from the spine.

FIG. 1 shows the device, bottom view (without a compressor and electric drive); in fig. 2 - one of the symmetrically located hydroactivators in the center; in fig. 3 shows section A-A in FIG. 2; in fig. 4 shows a section BB in FIG. 2; in fig. 5 - hydroactivator (without compressor and electric drive) with the patient laid for the procedure, general view.

The device for hydromassage of the back contains central 1 and peripheral 2 hydro-activators, each of which is made in the form of two coaxially arranged external pipe 3 with a slot 4 and an internal pipe 5 with holes 6, a water supplying collector 7, an electric motor shaft 8. in the same plane. The inner tube of each hydroactivator is connected at one end to the water supply manifold, which is connected to the compressor, and the other to the motor shaft.

Two symmetrically located in the center of the hydroactivator 1 have 5 holes 6 on the inner tube, cut through two spirals mutually intersecting each other, one of which has a left and second right direction. Peripherally located hydroactivators also have a rotating tube 5 inside, in which the openings 6 are cut in only one spiral. Moreover, approximately 3/4 of the pipe, starting from the collector, the spiral has one direction, and the remaining 1/4 of the pipe changes it to the opposite. On the left, relative to the patient hydroactivator 2, the right direction of cutting of the helix goes to the left, and on the right, the left direction of cutting of the helix goes to the right.

The device works as follows.

The patient is placed on the lattice located above the bath and the device is installed so that the axes of the hydroactivators are parallel to the axes of the patient's body at a height at which the water jets of the adjacent hydroactivators cover the entire back. The projection line, where the direction of rotation of the spirals on the inner tubes changes

peripheral hydroactivators, should be located at the level of the projection of the margins. The compressor motor is then turned on. A hydraulic pressure regulator (not shown) gradually increases the pressure to 4 atm. When this water flows through the collector 7 into the internal pipes and reaches their holes. As a result of the rotation of the inner tubes, the holes are successively opened from one edge of the slot 4 of the outer pipe 3 of the hydroactivator and then overlap from the other edge. The resulting sector of the jets, bounded by the slit 4 of the hydroactivator, during the rotation of the inner tube, advances along the hydroactivator with a uniform single schering angle at the angle caused by the helix of the helix. Jet hydroactivators 1, located along the spine, moving simultaneously towards each other with a shift to the periphery. The jets of external hydroactivators 2 are advanced from the patient's pelvic region to the projection of his axillary sac with a shift to the periphery, and from the opposite side from the shoulders to the projection of the axillary sac with a shift to the periphery. Thus, the jets formed by the device simultaneously with the massaging of the tissues of the back stimulate the outflow of interstitial fluid, blood and lymph in morphological and physiologically determined ways in the region of the axillary moss, which is also the case with all other types of massage.
