Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for training muscle groups of a person, in which vibrations are coupled into the body of a person via at least one vibration plate. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the method with a vibration unit having at least one vibration plate, at least one vibration generator for coupling vibrations into the vibration plate, and at least one control unit for controlling the vibration amplitude of the vibration plate.
- a method and a device of the aforementioned type are known, for example, from WO 02/053084 A1.
- Die ⁇ ses document discloses a device for Schwingungs ⁇ excitation of a human body with a Basisplatt ⁇ form on which a vibrating plate is arranged in the form of oszil ⁇ lierenden rocker.
- the person poses on the vibration plate, wherein he holds on two handles, which are mounted laterally of the Vibrations ⁇ plate on the base platform hold can. If the vibrating plate is then set into vibrations, these are introduced into the lower body via the human soles with low amplitude and frequency and trigger a muscle reflex there.
- the muscle groups in the area of the calves, thighs and / or hips are thus stimulated.
- the invention is thus based on the idea of producing the force required for vibration coupling into a person to be trained in the direction of the vibrating plate by means of a pressure below the ambient pressure, so that vibration coupling is also possible in the horizontal position and that by ge ⁇ suitable measures the vibrations are introduced into the human body even without solid Bo ⁇ dentitle and parasitic oscillation by suitable Schwingungstil ⁇ supply to be prevented from being transmitted to the frame.
- a liquid household disturbed by a disease-related prolonged lying phase or a disturbed circulatory system of the person to be trained can be stabilized and a new type of lymph drainage treatment can be carried out.
- the process according to the invention can accordingly also be used for the treatment of metabolic disorders, obesity and cellulitis or else for the stimulation of the circulation.
- the invention provides to detect the set pressure in the vacuum chamber and the vibration amplitudes of the vibration plate by means of sensors and to tune them to one another via a control unit. This can be done, for example, by adjusting the oscillation amplitude of the vibrating plate as a function of the pressure prevailing in the vacuum chamber.
- the pressure during the application may pulse such that the method according to the invention or the device acts as an external lymphatic stimulator.
- the individual muscle groups are preferably trained in application cycles, with one application cycle being the setting of the pressure below the ambient pressure in the vacuum chamber and generating vibrations in a predetermined vibration cycle.
- An application cycle can last up to 4 minutes, the oscillation cycle being started immediately after reaching the maximum pressure to be set below the ambient pressure. At the same time, the pressure in the vacuum chamber is not greater than the ambient pressure at any time during the entire application cycle.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention envisages setting a differential pressure of up to -60 mmHG below the ambient pressure at the beginning of an application cycle, and steadily increasing the pressure from this level during the application cycle, so that a sawtooth-like pressure course during the treatment ein ⁇ provides. Due to the differences in elasticity of the skin, musculature and vein walls in the vicinity of the deep arteries, this pressure profile mobilizes blood and lymph fluid at different pressures. The venous walls near the skin surface are firmer and more yielding than the more elastic regions in depth, such as in the middle of the leg cross-section. Furthermore, the skin is stronger in the ankle area than, for example, the skin at hip height. With decreasing pressure, the elastic veins are first stretched in depth.
- Blood and lymphatic fluid are thus redistributed from the skin into the deep vessels.
- veins and lymphatic vessels in the foot area are finally stretched at -60 mmHG, whereby blood and lymphatic fluid spread to the feet.
- blood and lymph fluid shift to the heart. Since there are valves in the veins and lymph vessels, which act like valves, the pressure pulsation redistributes blood and tissue fluid and gently massages the heart.
