Abstract

The invention relates to medicine and is intended to facilitate the implementation of the active forward bending of the body. The device is equipped with pelvic 8 and thoracic 15 supports fixed to the human body using fastening elements 16. The presence of heel supports 1 pivotally connected with telescopic pillars to the pelvic support 8, is equipped with the last horizontal axis on which the bar 12 is pivotally mounted bent away from the back and spring-loaded through the brackets 11 by springs 13 to the telescopic stands 6, and the contact of the rod 12 with the roller bearing 17 provides the possibility of extending the range of active workers moving man using this device, and reducing the load on his spine when the body bends forward. 1 il.

The invention relates to medicine, in particular, to devices for unloading the spine, correcting and preventing pathological spinal curvatures.

The aim of the invention is to facilitate the implementation of the active torso forward.

FIG. 1 shows the device, a general view; in fig. 2 - a device placed on the patient, side view; in fig. 3 - pelvic support, top view.

The device consists of precision supports 1 attached by belts 2 to the shoe. At the ends of the precision supports 1, brackets 3 are installed, to which the axles 4 fasten the rods 5 of the telescopic stands 6. The opposite ends of the telescopic stands 6 are attached pivotally to the additional stands 7 rigidly connected to the pelvic support 8. Axis 9 is mounted between the additional stands 7 on which is installed with the possibility of free rotation of the sleeve 10, which is rigidly attached to the two brackets 1 1 and the rod 12. The brackets 11 are connected to the springs 13, the opposite ends of which are fixed to the clamps 14, ycTia- telescopic The rigid racks 6 are movable and then fixed, which provides the necessary adjustment of the tension of the springs 13. The chest support 15 and the pelvic support 8 are provided with fastening elements, for example, plastic tapes 16 with fasteners of the type VELKRO.

On the back of the thoracic support 15, there is a roller bearing fixed in the form of a roller 17, which comes into contact with the outer (chrome and polished) surface of the rod 12 and can roll along this surface.

On telescopic racks 6, there are pnc gtavnye support pads 18. In the lower part of the rod 12 there is a limiter 19 of its rear inclination, and in the middle there is a curvilinear section 20.

The device is used with the following way.

After alternately fitting the pillars 1, the pelvic support 8 and the pectoral support 15 with the rod 12 inserted in advance under the roller 17, the tension of the springs 13 is adjusted by shifting and then fixing the clamps 14 and the rear inclination of the rod 12 by the limiter 19. These adjustments are made individually for each patient and are constant throughout the entire period of use of the device. By tensioning the springs 13. It is possible to achieve such an effect when, when bending forward, the weight of the upper part of the body is practically not felt. After doing these

works you can start using

devices.

When the body is in a vertical position, roller 17, placed above curvilinear section 20 of bar 12, provides easy

a recliner effect on the entire spine without danger of overdosing, while the thoracic support 15 provides support for the upper part of the body. When the body is tilted, depending on the angle of inclination, the roller 17 rolls over the outer surface bar 12, occupies the optimum position, and the springs 13, acting on the brackets 11, transfer the force to the bar 12, try to turn it around the axis 9. Thus, the weight is compensated slope of the trunk and the removal of the load from the muscular system and the spine. In an inclined position, it is possible to sit down on the adjustable support pads 18, which also helps to relieve the load.

Thus, due to the expansion of the volume of active movements, the constant reclining effect on the spine, regardless of the torso, accelerates the rehabilitation of patients with spinal diseases. In addition, when carrying out physical work with the use of the device, the possibility appears of qualitative prevention of pathological spinal curvatures in relatively healthy people, and with a noticeable general improvement in their psychological state due to a sharp decrease in stress and a very noticeable increase in labor productivity. In particular, the device makes it possible to carry out agricultural work effectively: weeding, some types of loading and loading work, for example, in the preparation of melons, work on the household plot, etc.
