Abstract

The invention relates to an intervertebral passive mobilizer including: a roller which exerts pressure on the user's back; two plates (A and B), to which the ends of the shaft of the roller are joined using metal supports; and lateral guides along which the plates slide. A worm gearbox mechanism enables plate B to slide, with the distance between plates A and B being varied in order to fix the height of the roller. A second worm gearbox mechanism enables plate A to move forwards and backwards together with the roller, such as to move over the back.

Description

Passive Intervertebral Mobilizer

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION a) Diseases of the spine have always been manifested, however, the statistics of the last four years, show us how more and more people suffer from them, regardless of age, race or age. sex, that is, they are no longer attributed solely to the aging process. b) There is practically no person who sooner or later suffers from any discomfort whose origin is not attributed to the spine given the diversity of functions that it performs. c) Almost 90% of the economically active population suffers from some discomforts such as: stress, cramps or numbness of the limbs, back pain, herniated discs, partial loss of vision, and others; and, 70% of adolescents suffer from some form of deviation in the spine. Hence the existence in the market of a variety of devices, techniques, procedures and systems, aimed at providing a therapeutic effect; However, these do not meet the desired objectives, either due to the use of inadequate elements in its elaboration, due to bad design configurations, due to professional imperfection, etc., all of which makes it almost impossible to eradicate the discomforts derived from the Column. Vertebral Therefore, there is a need to provide an article, capable of eradicating the aforementioned inconveniences. ). d) The inventor by personal experience following a parachute accident. He conceived the possibility of an apparatus that was in direct contact with his body, specifically the back; will use its own weight and exert pressure to move the vertebrae without affecting or injuring the Spine, achieving the desired effect: "THE DECOMPRESSION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM". e) The MPI Intervertebral Passive Mobilizer owes its name, because, while the person is in a horizontal position and face up (IN PASSIVE POSITION), the device moves (MOVES) either in its entirety or by areas (from the neck or cervical area to the settlers or coccyx area), in the back. Gradually exerting pressure on the vertebrae (INTERVERTEBRAL) simultaneously and alternately, FORCING THEM TO MOVE ACCORDING TO THE NATURAL WEIGHT OF THE PEOPLE; guaranteeing the integrity of the user, by virtue of the design and configuration of the device, provided for these functions. This invention, due to its novel configuration, constitutes an advantage over other devices, techniques, procedures and systems known in the current state of the art.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The OBJECT of the invention, is the decompression of the nervous system to eradicate the various discomforts derived from the vertebral column. The field of application of the present invention is comprised within Physiotherapy for therapeutic purposes, either through massages or as rehabilitative therapies. The applicant is unaware of other similar ways to decompress the nervous system, "EXERCISING PRESSURE AND MOVING THE VERSES ACCORDING TO THE NATURAL WEIGHT OF EACH PERSON".

PARTICULARITIES OF THE MPI INTERVERTEBRAL PASSIVE MOBILIZER

This device for its UNIQUE FEATURES allows the rehabilitation of the patient in short periods of time. Remarkable improvement in the first four days of sessions or treatment. In the same way, the patient does not need to take medication or hospitalization. Facilitating the development of a normal life, compared to other rehabilitation alternatives for the spine.

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION

1.- The MPI INTERVERTEBRAL PASSIVE MOBILIZER. It is a mechanical device that serves to decompress the nervous system. Characterized because thanks to the combined action between the moving roller and the natural weight of people, sufficient pressure is generated to move the vertebrae to decompress the nervous system; allowing this to re-control the movement of the muscles.

2.- The MPI INTERVERTEBRAL PASSIVE MOBILIZER. It is a mechanical device that serves to correct the deviations of the spine, while the person is in a period of growth. Characterized because thanks to the ergonomics of the roller, the spine responds morphologically, since the striated or skeletal muscles become flexible again, and the de-numbed joints of the spine allow the vertebrae to move and grow normally.

3.- The MPI INTERVERTEBRAL PASSIVE MOBILIZER. It is a mechanical device that serves to regenerate intervertebral discs. Characterized because before the incidence of the roller that generates pressure in the vertebrae of the column. The stiffness of the vertebral joints disappears and the decompressed vertebrae decongest the flexible skeletal tissue (intravertebral disc).

Claims

REINVINDICATIONS OF THE INVENTION

1.- Specifically, the invention consists of: a highly sensitive ergonomic mechanical device called MPI Passive Intervertebral Mobilizer.

2.- The ergonomic mechanical device of high sensitivity MPI INTERVERTEBRAL PASSIVE MOBILIZER, is integrated by a wooden roller (8) crossed from side to side by a metal rod whose ends are inserted in a pair of metal supports (7) attached and attached to platelets A (5) and B (6). These metallic supports (7), due to their flexibility, facilitate the ascent and descent of the roller (7) according to the plate B (6), activated by the gearmotor B (2), runs through the auger A (9), sliding through the guides laterals A (3) and B (4), either to approach or move away from platelet A (5); fixed with screws to the gearmotor B (2), until the desired level or height is achieved. Once the roller (8) is at the desired level or height. The gearmotor A (1) fixed to the plate X (11), activates the movement of the auger B (10), so that the plate A (5) together with the roller (8), slide through the lateral guides A (3) and B (4), and travel, either in its entirety or by zones, the back; according to user requirements. It should be noted that both the lateral guides A (3) and B (4), as well as the auger B (10) insert their terminal ends to the plates X (11) and Z (12).

2 - The ergonomic mechanical device of high sensitivity MPI INTERVERTEBRAL PASSIVE MOBILIZER, adheres internally, either to a fiberglass structure (mobile version) to give way to a compact machine for easy transportation. This model is operated through a laptop, or;

3.- The ergonomic mechanical device of high sensitivity MPI INTERVERTEBRAL PASSIVE MOBILIZER, adheres internally to a metal cover (fixed version), suitable for hospitals, because it allows the patient to: extend his whole body on the machine. This model is operated manually through a control console.
