Description

Active Action Therapy Device for Fifty Shoulders to Enhance Joint Electricity by Electric Pull

The present invention is researched and created according to the theory of joint electricity and its application theory "using the dominant component of producing joint electricity as the dominant component of action therapy". The active action therapy device for fifty shoulders is used to apply force to the shoulder joint during the active action of the affected shoulder joint, and its goals include at least increasing the active action angle and reducing pain.

Fifty shoulder is also known as frozen shoulder, or visco-viscous shoulder capsulitis, or rigid shoulder of unknown etiology. The symptoms are mainly shoulder pain and difficulty in active movement, such as arm muscle weakness and limited movement angle. Complaints include not being able to raise the arms high, not buttoning the underwear behind the back, and in severe cases not even brushing the hair or scratching the back.

There are various theories on the etiology of fifty shoulders, and there are many hypotheses about its pathology. The mainstream of the theory in the literature is (1) adhcsive capsulitis (adhcsive capsulitis), (2) some related tissue fibrosis of the shoulder joint, but its cause unknown, Therefore, it is also known as "idiopathic stiff shoulder" (that is to say, the fifty shoulder does not start with the primary capsulitis, if it is found that there is a capsulitis, it should be a secondary one).

Under the concept of this pathology, the mainstream of its treatment method is joint injection first, followed by rehabilitation treatment, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and home exercise. The time required for the obvious improvement of the treatment usually exceeds the patient's tolerance. Many The patient therefore seeks capsular release, or release of scapulohumeral motion interface, or mobilization with high intensity stretch, both of which have been reported to improve the range of motion at a faster rate. However, reports in the literature show that many patients have the problem of symptom recurrence, but after all, it is not easy for patients to undergo another joint surgery or joint mobilization under anesthesia.

It can be seen that the fifty shoulders is still a pain that has not yet had a satisfactory treatment, and there is currently no related active action therapy device on the market.

In view of the above, the inventor of the present invention, after years of painstaking research, contemplation, and design, has developed an active action therapy device for fifty shoulders that uses electric tension to enhance joint electricity, in order to break through the predicament of the conventional technology and promote the improvement of shoulder joint movement. Effective treatment, and then promote the implementation and utilization of the industry.

電動拉力之增強關節電之五十肩之主動動作治療器之理論根據為本發明人所創之『關節電理論』及其應用理論『以產生關節電之優勢成分作為動作治療之優勢成分所研創(Using the Favorable Component for Joint-Electricity-Generation as the favorable component in motion therapy)』。 loan of the invention

The theoretical basis of the active motion therapy device for the fifty-shoulders, which enhances the joint electricity of electric pulling force, is based on the "joint electrical theory" and its application theory created by the inventor, "researched and created by using the dominant components of joint electricity as the dominant components of action therapy" (Using the Favorable Component for Joint-Electricity-Generation as the favorable component in motion therapy).

The parts related to the above theory and the present invention at least include the following points: (1) Under normal circumstances, the joint electric charge is caused by the "piezoelectric properties" of the "articular cartilage" and it is constantly subjected to the effective range of the joint. "Dynamic power" is generated. On the contrary, if for any reason, its "dynamic force" is too large to generate joint electricity when it exceeds the effective range; in addition, if the "dynamic force" is not strong enough, the amount of joint electricity generated will also be will be insufficient. (2) "Joint structure tissue" (joint capsule, ligament, tendon...) and the "associated muscle" of the joint (connected to its tendon or adjacent to the articular cartilage or located in the superficial layer of the joint) are collectively referred to as The "associated tissues of the joint" must be nourished by the joint electricity produced by the joint. More specifically, the joint electricity generated in a part of the joint (eg, the anterior part) can nourish the related tissues of the joint part (the anterior part of the joint). The above-mentioned nurturing has the function of maintaining the length and tension of the joint structure tissue and the related muscles of the joint at the normal position, and getting ready for the subsequent contraction of the muscles. If the nurturing is insufficient, there is pain, shortening or insufficient tension of the soft tissue in that part of the joint, less active and passive joint movement angles in that part of the joint, decreased strength of the muscles, and The most serious problems such as fibrosis of these local tissues occur. (3) For limbs that have an obstacle or deficiency in the generation of joint electricity in a certain part of a joint, due to the insufficient nurturing of joint electricity that can be obtained by the joint structure tissue and related muscles of the joint, these tissues are Insufficient tension reduces the value of the dynamic force in the joint that can be obtained by this part of the joint, so it is even more unable to generate a sufficient amount of joint electricity. Problems caused by insufficient moisture (as described in (2)) are also getting worse. (4) Since active action requires muscle contraction, and according to the "joint electrical theory", muscle contraction needs to be nourished by joint electricity first, so as described in (3), the related muscles of the joints of the patient are affected. Active movements should be properly supplemented with joint power, or with equipment that can enhance joint power during the movement (such as The present invention)", so that it can perform action training under the condition that the joint electricity can be increased. (5) The related theory of joint electricity based on "joint electrical theory" also includes: in a certain part of the same joint, when the increase of the dynamic force in the joint does not exceed its effective range, the dynamic force is higher than that of the joint. When it is large, the joint electricity it can generate is greater than that generated when its dynamic force is small; when the relatively large dynamic force does not exceed its effective range, it can be called the "predominant component for generating joint electricity".

Therefore, for the joints with obstacles to the generation of joint electricity (especially if the dynamic force value in at least one part of the joint is too low), if the movement therapy training is performed by the hands of their professional therapists or the use of Appropriate equipment (or device) to appropriately increase the dynamic force of the local part in the joint (but not beyond its effective range), so as to achieve the goal of treating the related movement disorder, can be called by creating the "Using the Favorable Component for Joint-electricity" in this part of the joint to achieve the effect of the treatment of the related movement disorder is called "Using the Favorable Component for Joint- Electricity-Generation as the favorable component in motion therapy)" theory (but for joints whose dynamic force has exceeded or is about to exceed its effective range, this increased dynamic force is harmful, and can not be called its advantageous component. ). An example is as follows: For example, in order to increase the muscle strength of the shoulder and arm forward, the structure of the treatment device of the present invention can be used to appropriately apply force to the front part of the shoulder joint during the active movement of the user's previous lifting to increase the strength of the shoulder joint. The dynamic force of the anterior part of the joint (and still within its effective range), that is, by correctly using the treatment device of the present invention to create the "predominant component of generating joint electricity" in the anterior part of the shoulder joint, it is possible to achieve Increase the joint electricity in the front part of the shoulder joint, so as to obtain the muscle strength and the range of movement of the active movement of the advancement of the arm forward. This same principle can be used to promote improvements in strength and range of motion in other parts of the joint, even for other joints.

In addition, when the amount of force exerted on the shoulder joint is controlled within the effective range of the articular cartilage, a slight change in the direction of the force exerted during its action (for example, the connection between the electric force application part and the force application interface part of the present invention and the (provided by the change of the angle between the arm axes in the arm movement), which should contribute to the correspondingly stressed multiple areas of the shoulder joint that change the direction slightly with the change of the movement angle (instantly mild-changing direction). in shoulder joint) to generate joint electricity, thereby producing more benefits for the muscles related to the shoulder joint.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an electric active motion therapy device for the movement disorder of the shoulder joint and the problems of soft tissue pain (such as the movement and pain of the 50 shoulder and other shoulders similar to the 50 shoulder).

And the force applied is a small amount of force, so that it does not exceed the effective range of the joint. The size of the force can be determined by the professional therapist of the user's action therapy according to his experience and the individual status of the case ( For example, the severity of the disease, the stage of recovery, and the weight of the arm) are determined individually for the patient, and are set on the tension value adjustment button; the therapist can start from a very small amount when using it for the first time, and can use the sliding part if necessary to make This treatment can be done more easily. The therapist also operates the start/stop button of the motor for the patient during the active movement of the patient's arm, and when it is determined that the patient has learned to operate the start/stop button, the patient can operate the start/stop button by himself. Start/Stop key.

The goals that can be achieved by using the present invention in the training of active movements include at least a reduction in pain that can be immediately perceived, and an increase in the amplitude of active movements that can be measured immediately.

The precautions for using the active action therapy device of the present invention are at least as follows: Bottom: For patients with insufficient range of active movements of the shoulder joint and pain (such as fifty shoulders), when they use the present invention to carry out active movement training, their professional therapists (who have gone through the course of this theory and related training functions) Use or learn to use under the supervision of a therapist or physiotherapist (the professional therapist should make individual adjustment of the position, set the size of the pulling force, and use the password in conjunction with the command action to operate on a case-by-case basis. Its start/stop button, but it depends on the learning situation of the case to decide whether to let the case operate its own start/stop button).

The so-called active movement training applicable to the use of the present invention is the active movement of the affected arm and attempts to enhance the angle of its active movement, such as shoulder flexion (or shoulder abduction), plane side Lifting (shoulder horizontal abduction), and its combined angle movements, but does not include hand shake.

And because the shoulder joint actually includes multiple joints, the increase of the action angle (especially between 120 and 180 degrees) requires the coordination of axial and rotational movements, so its professional therapist should educate the patient before treatment. Explain that "the movement of the shoulder joint requires the cooperation of these two movements"; and in order to match the special anatomical structure of the shoulder joint, the arm should be turned outward gradually after the arm is raised above 120 degrees, so it can be fixed at the beginning. The arm posture is at the maximum possible external rotation angle to the straight arm, and then the training of the aforementioned lifting action is performed. And before use, the so-called straight arm should be correctly and properly fixed on the straight arm on the affected side.

It should also be noted that when lifting heights in different directions, the force-applying interface part of each movement direction must be selected. When the active action is forward lift, the force application interface part located in front of the arm at that time can be selected. When the active action is a plane lateral lift, the force application interface part located on the side of the arm at that time can be selected. When the active action is When the comprehensive angle is raised, the force application interface located in the direction of arm movement at that time can be selected. When the active action is side elevation, the arm can be turned outward as much as possible and the force application interface part located in the direction of arm movement at that time is selected (if the outward rotation angle is sufficient, it is actually the force application interface part in front of the arm).

And in the above-mentioned use of the action therapy of the present invention, there should be a concept of "small steps and divided into multiple trainings (the number of repeated lifts in each training should not be too many) to avoid fatigue"; Don't "over effort" when making an angle, that is, don't try to increase the angle by continuing to exert force at the same angle (but it is not possible to increase the angle), if it exceeds the limit time (about 6 seconds, different for each case) There will be adverse consequences, and some patients have lower tolerance to the above-mentioned continuous force at the same angle, which may occur in a shorter period of time. Not only during training, but also when evaluating its progress, there will be the same problems as above, so the above time should be limited to 3 seconds or 4 seconds.

The present invention can provide an individual and suitable length, width or shape of the straight arm according to the length of the upper limb, fat and thinness of the individual case, and provide suitable hand parts according to the individual differences such as the shape and size of the individual hand and the gripping force. Size and shape and their corresponding position with the straight arm.

The advantages of the present invention over the prior art include: the active action therapy device of the present invention is developed according to the theory of joint electricity. With the help of the device, the joint electricity can be effectively supplemented during active movement, so that the relevant muscles can obtain more sufficient energy. Moisturizing not only reduces the original pain, but also improves the range of active movements; the use of the present invention in the training of active movements has an immediate effect (that is, the improvement can be immediately perceived and measured), and after continuous After several days (to several weeks) of using the present invention in active movement training, the pain of the tissue will gradually decrease, and the painless active movement angle can be significantly increased.
