Abstract

The invention relates to a therapeutic prevention, treatment and recovery system for bone diseases comprising mechanically independent elements. Each of said elements is provided with means for connecting to other external objects and each is connected to controlled-action lifting means. When said element falls suddenly due to gravity, the system generates intense forces for brief periods of time which compress the bone system, thereby provoking a reaction from said system in the form of strengthening. The inventive system can be used for medical purposes.

La figura 3 es un detalle ampliado, según indicación de la figura 2, para un ejemplo -no limitativo de solución mecánica de acoplamiento (3). La figura 4 representa en detalle esquemático, un ejemplo -no limitativo- de actuador eléctrico que emplea imán móvil (41).Figure 3 is an enlarged detail, as indicated in Figure 2, for a non-limiting example of mechanical coupling solution (3). Figure 4 represents in schematic detail an example, not a limitation, of an electric actuator using a mobile magnet (41).
Las figuras 5 y 6 representan, en detalle, sendas realizaciones alternativas de solución mecánica (3), para acoplar los elementos (1), (2) a objetos externos (5). Se describe a continuación un ejemplo de realización práctica, no limitativa, del presente invento.Figures 5 and 6 represent, in detail, alternative embodiments of mechanical solution (3), for coupling the elements (1), (2) to external objects (5). An example of practical, non-limiting embodiment of the present invention is described below.
El sistema terapéutico de prevención, tratamiento y recuperación de enfermedades óseas según la invención consta, básicamente, de: a) dos elementos (1), (2) mecánicamente independientes, b) medios (3) para su acoplamiento a objetos u elementos externos ' (5), c) medios de elevación (4), de acción controlada que, en un momento dado, dejan caer de golpe, por gravedad al citado elemento (1), (2); de modo que el sistema genera fuerzas intensas en breves lapsos de tiempo.The therapeutic system for prevention, treatment and recovery of bone diseases according to the invention basically consists of: a) two mechanically independent elements (1), (2), b) means (3) for coupling to external objects or elements' (5), c) lifting means (4), of controlled action that, at any given time, drop at once, by gravity to said element (1 ), (two); so that the system generates intense forces in short periods of time.
Estas fuerzas sirven de acción compresiva sobre el sistema óseo, provocando la reacción de éste en el sentido de fortalecimiento.These forces serve as a compressive action on the bone system, causing its reaction in the sense of strengthening.
Los elementos (1), (2) mecánicamente independientes, presentan cualquier estructura, de pequeño tamaño, y aseguran una verticalidad de funcionamiento, con bajo costo.The mechanically independent elements (1), (2), have any structure, small in size, and ensure a vertical operation, with low cost.
