Description

The useful model belongs to medicine, namely to traumatology and orthopedics, as well as to neuropathology, and is intended for prevention of functional postural disorders, specifically - control and prevention of spinal curvature.

The well-known posture corrector simulator "Posture Master" is a case with a diameter of 37 mm and a thickness of 8 mm, inside which are installed an interconnected accelerometer, a battery, and a vibration mechanism (vibromotor). The "Posture Master" corrector trainer is attached to the user's body using a sticker or to underwear using a special fastening clip (see the "Posture Master" corrector trainer instructions, trans: / taviegozapki.gy / azz5eiv / itadez / ipvigisiyop / 04th -|.

However, the well-known simulator-corrector allows you to control the angle of the back inclination only in the thoracic spine, which leads to possible distortions in the lumbar region.

The closest to the proposed useful model is GitobraskK, an interactive smart system for improving posture and movement. The system includes a sensor for measuring the angle of spine deviation and an adjustable belt on which the sensor is fixed. The sensor includes a housing, inside which are installed a connected microcontroller, a vibration mechanism (vibromotor), a battery, a memory card and a Vipeio module.

The set of the I shtobaskK system also includes a charging cable. After fixing the sensor on the belt, the system is attached to the user's belt (see Interactive smart system I shtobrask, manufactured by Gito Vodu Tesp, USA, Mm/mly. Nyr/Lymlu.Iitoroduitesp.sot/itobaskl/.

The I itobaskK system monitors a person's posture, movements and postures when he is sitting, standing, lying down, walking and running.

It provides all the data about the user's movements and postures in real time, signals in case of incorrect and harmful postures.

This technical solution was chosen as a prototype.

The prototype and useful model, which is claimed, have common features: - a sensor for measuring the angle of deviation of the spine; - means for fastening; - elements included in the spine deflection angle sensor: - power source;

Zo is a vibration motor.

However, the I-Itorask smart system allows you to measure only the angle of the pelvis and allows you to bring the pelvis into a neutral position. This ensures improved posture and movement.

This system does not allow you to effectively control the curvature of the spine in three planes, but only controls changes in one plane (see Fig. 1).

The useful model is based on the task of creating an improved interactive device for controlling and preventing spinal curvature, in which, by means of a different design of the sensor for measuring the angle of spinal deviation, the introduction of a control unit into the device, as well as the mutual location of the sensor measuring the angle of spinal deviation and the control unit, to ensure an increase effectiveness and simplification of control and prevention of spinal curvature due to control of the position of all areas of the spine in three planes of measurement.

The task is solved by the fact that the device for controlling and preventing curvature of the spine, which contains a sensor for measuring the angle of deviation of the spine and a means for fastening, according to a useful model, additionally contains a control unit made in the form of a case, inside of which there are interconnected sources power supply, control board and Vipeio module, and the sensor for measuring the angle of spine deviation is made in the form of a case, inside which are connected power source, vibration motor and accelerometer or gyroscope, and at least two sensors for measuring the angle of spine deviation and the control unit are fixed on means for fastening and are connected to each other by electrical wires, and the control unit is located in the lower part of the means for fastening.

The technical effect is achieved due to the fact that control over the measurement of the position of the human spine is carried out in three planes. This is ensured by the fact that several sensors for measuring the angle of spine deviation (at least two) and the control unit are located on the fastening tool in a certain sequence - the control unit is located in the lower part, and the sensors are located along the entire length of the fastening tool.

The spine deflection angle sensor and the control unit are interconnected and form a single node (complex). This ensures the registration of a deviation not only along one axis (for example, stooping, Fig. 1), but also more complex changes in space (for example, stooping - helical change - uneven position of the shoulders, Fig. 2). In fig. 2 shows the resulting bo vector of all three change planes.

An interactive device for controlling and preventing spinal curvature is shown in the drawing, where: fig. 1 - schematic diagram of the device; fig. 2 - side view of the device; fig. C - a view of the sensor for measuring the angle of deviation of the spine; fig. 4 - type of control unit; fig. 5 - diagram of spine deviation along one axis (for example, when slouching); fig. b - the scheme of the deviation of the spine in several planes (for example, with stooping, helical changes and uneven position of the shoulders).

The interactive device for control and prevention of spinal curvature contains a means for fastening 1, made in the form of a strip of elastic material, in which electric wires 2 are mounted (laid).

Sensors Z for measuring the angle of spine deviation (at least two) and the control unit 4 are fixed in the means for fastening 1, while the control unit 4 is located in the lower part of the means for fastening 1.

The sensor Z for measuring the angle of deviation of the spine (Fig. 3) is made in the form of a housing 5, in which an accelerometer or gyroscope 6, a vibration motor 7 and a power source 8 (for example, a battery) are rigidly fixed.

The control unit 4 (Fig. 4) is made in the form of a similar case 5, in which the control board 9, the Winiooi module 10 and the power source 8 (for example, the battery) are rigidly fixed.

Power sources 8, located in the sensor C and the control unit 4 are interconnected by electrical wires 2 and are thus combined into a single network; they feed accelerometers 6 and vibration motors 7 of sensors C through the control board 9 of the control unit 4.

To fix the device on the human body, the means for fastening 1 is equipped with elements for fixing 11, for example, tapes with fasteners. The rear part of the means for fastening 1 is made with protrusions 12.

The interactive device is used in the following order.

Data (indicators) from the Z sensors measuring the spine deviation angle are transmitted to the unit

From control 4. Control unit 4, in turn, transmits data (indicators) to the computing system (computer, or laptop, or netbook, or smartphone, etc.-). As a communication channel, a wireless data transmission system is used. The patient wears the device and starts the program (application, service) on the computer system, after which the program notifies him by means of visualization on the screen of the computer system that he needs to straighten up (assume a flat back position). Next, the patient must press a button in the program on the computer system and after that the program remembers the reference indicators and the device is ready for work. Indicators from sensors from measuring the angle of spine deviation are taken continuously and also continuously, the control unit 4 transmits them to the computer system, after which the computer system analyzes the data, and if the indicators from at least one sensor from measuring the angle of spine deviation differ from the reference ones, the computer system transmits a command control unit 4, after which the control unit 4 activates the vibration motor 7 of the corresponding sensor Z measuring the angle of deviation of the spine. As soon as the computer system receives data from this sensor from the measurement of the spine deviation angle and they coincide with the reference data (the patient has aligned), it sends the appropriate command to the control unit 4, and the control unit 4, in turn, deactivates the vibration motor 7.
