Definitions

  • the invention relates to medical hygiene as well as to the area of sports in general and more particularly to a table for backbone setting employed for physiotherapy, physiotherapeuticai, recreational or conditional training of spinaL column and relevant muscles.
  • the invention solves the problem of device construction in the form of a table for backbone setting, of simple design, simple and effective, to use, with absolute self-control by user/patient in physiotherapy, physiotherapeuticai selective or conditional training of spine and relevant muscles. It is suited for both medical praotine and home use.
  • a few simple devices are known for spine stretching. They operate in the following manner: patient's head is adequately tied down to an axially mobile part, and patient's legs are fastened to the other, opposite side, fixed part. By manual or hand controlled tilting of the said axially mobile part a gradual stretching, i.e. extension of the patient's spinal column is carried out, whereas the patient is horizontally lying down on the table. With adequate weights, which have a certain amount of power, it is possible to maintain stretching of patient's spine for a desired period of time.
  • TESI stretching system made by “TESI” firm in Germany.
  • the device is designed as a table comprising a pedestal base and control unit. On one end there is a mobile tying element with straps for the patient's head, whereas on the opposite side there are devices for axial movement of the aforementioned tying element. Under the table there are heating elements, a vibratory device, and elements with axle and radially mobile wheels under the patient's spinal column.
  • Disadvantages of this device are basically the same as in the one described before, and refer to the limited effect on the patient's spinal column and relevant muscles, where the patient always remains in one - axial position.
  • a combined table for the adjustable stretching of spinal column comprises a pedestal base with a section for patient's head and the opposite section for legs. Between these two ends the table is divided into a number of dented sections relevant to the head or legs area.
  • the section for head is axially mobile by appropriate mechanism. Intersectional areas provided for making pressure on vertebra of patient's spinal column are also mobile.
  • the section for Legs consists of both fixed and mobile pillows with straps for legs.
  • the table operates in the following manner: at the time of simultaneous opposite-direction axial movement of sections for the head and legs, there is a combined movement of intersections pressing the patient's spinal column vertebra, thus massaging the vertebra,
  • an adjustable tractive device for patient's head and dependent muscles comprises a chair on which pivotally secured lower end of vertical column is connected with the upper part by a dented branch at the top, and on one of its ends, over elastic girder, a strapping device for patient's head is secured. With the other end of the said branch an elastic element is connected to the opposite side of the device column.
  • the device operates in the following manner: while the patient's head is tied by strapping device to the device branch, the patient slowly tilts forward from horizontal position. The recessed branch pulls the part with strapped patient's head, stretching thus the elastic girder on one side and elastic element tightened at the other side of the aforementioned branch.
  • Disad ⁇ 'antages of this device refer to the limited stretching of only cervicaJ vertebra of the upper part of spinal column and relevant museLes, producing a reduced physiotherapeuticai effect in relation to the patient's spinal column as a whole.
  • the described therapeutical stretching device for patient's necl ⁇ comprises a saddle to be placed on patient's shoulders, with two attached vertical pneumatic cylinders.
  • the free ends of connecting rods of these cylinders are joined together by a lever in the center of which is freely hanging another transversal hangerlike lever with hooks on the sides for strapping device for the patient's head.
  • an additional rectangular frame construction is attached, in the center of which, at the adjustment bolt, there is an adjustable neck guard.
  • Pneumatic cylinders are attached by elastic tube .lines to the central baloon-hand pump with adjustable ventiie, for controlled air pumping.
  • the device operates in the following manner: after the patient's head is strapped, there comes a controlled manual pumping of air into pneumatic cylinders, whose cramps are moving the connecting rods and strapping levers thus stretching the cervical vertebra of the upper part of patient's spinal column and relevant muscles. This stretching is combined with a simultaneous radial pressure of adjustable neck guard on the patient's neck, by controlled roiling of supporting bolt.
  • a device for treatment, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, recreation and conditional training of spine and other parts of human body.
  • This device comprises a base with seat for the pntienl , with an arched tube s ⁇ - * 1. behind the seat.
  • the recessed arched tube is connected to a turning mechanism powered by an eLectric motor, i.e. aJ tentatively by foot pedals.
  • an eLectric motor i.e. aJ tentatively by foot pedals.
  • On the upper part of the arched tube moving helicoidally, there are sliding parts with straps for strapping patient's torso to the pipe (with his back).
  • the device has a mechanism for controlled patient's spine stretching. It can be moved either manually or by an electric motor, and on the arched tube there is a vibratory device for additional massage.
  • This device is suitable for an overall treatment of spinal column and relevant muscles, and it has a wide spectrum of physiotherapeu ⁇ ticai effects in a large number of patients.
  • a disadvantage is that the patient has to be in a seated or half-seated position, which may not be convenient for all kinds of physiotherapeutical, recreational and conditional treatments of spinal column and relevant muscles in all patients.
  • maladies can occur, especially deformities of spinal column, relevant neck muscles, or abdomenal, hands, and legs muscles.
  • the maladies first manifest themselves in the form of fatigue, when body tries to relax. They further progress by endangering spinal functions, surrounding and relevant muscles, when it is necessary to undertake treatment in order for body to assume its ussual functions.
  • the treatment is administered by chemical and physical therapies in the domain of contemporary medicine. Therefore, appropriate physiotherapies are needed, as well as physiotherapeu ⁇ ticai, recreational and conditional exercises of the ill-affected body parts such as: spinal column, neck and relevant abdomenal, hands, and 1egs muscles, etc.
  • the object of this invention is to suggest a solution by constructing a device in the form of a table for backbone setting, which would eliminate imperfections of the above described known devices, and which could be effectively used with full self-control by the patient/user in physiotherapy, physiotherapeuticai, recreational or conditional exercise of spinal column, surrounding and relevant muscles.
  • the defined object has been reached by designing a table for backbone setting, comprising a bed-chair embodying a part for the back and a part for legs, each respectively pivoted onto the base, whereas the back and foot panels are also pivotally secured to the electric motor mechanism, by which a vertical lifting and lowering of the connective pivot is enabled, and the table starts to fracture, whiLe the table segments are moving round the supporting pivots.
  • the angle of 180 degrees which in a horizontal position of the table covers the segments for legs and the back, can increase or decrease depending on the direction of movement of the pivot linkage.
  • the patient/user is in a lying position, with his hands Leaning on hand supporters fastened to the immobile back panel of the table, and is strapped to the mobile foot panel by adequate strapping eLements.
  • the said foot panel is loaded by a weight or a tension spring which can regulate the strength moving the foot panel and is axially mobile on the supporting frame when the frame moves away from the back panel, which causes stretching of the spinal column of the patient/user.
  • the effect of extension is enhanced by addition of an eccentric rope sheave with an electric motor of variable rotation to the power train of the foot panel, creating an impulsive extension.
  • a vibratory device has been icluded for additional massage.
  • the therapeutical and recreational effect of the above said device is the result of a circumferential motion of patient's vertebral. It simultaneously improves vacuolarization of all spine structures, O 97/39783 /YU97/00002
