Definitions

  • the present invention is related to an improved device for biomechanical stimulation of muscles.
  • Biomechanical stimulation was first developed in the former USSR in the 1970's by Prof. Nazarov for the field of competitive sports.
  • Biomechanical stimulation is a means whereby a device, such as the present device, provides an elliptical mechanical stimulation motion at controlled frequencies or speeds and at controlled amplitudes. The elliptical motion of the biomechanical stimulator is then transferred to the muscle and/or the soft tissue of the human body by the elliptical motion of the stimulation drum.
  • the vibration therapy provided by biomechanical stimulation positively influences the muscles, soft tissue, circulation and lymphatic system of the human body.
  • This mechanical stimulation provides a variety of anatomical and metabolic improvements or enhancements for the human body.
  • improvement and enhancements include, but not limited to, the warm-up of muscle groups before an athlete competes without expending energy to warm-up these muscle groups, increasing the range of motion when muscles have atrophied, and improved recovery of muscle groups for athletes after competition.
  • BMS aids improved recovery by stimulating or stretching muscle groups, and by increasing blood circulation that aids the body's recovery by carrying away waste products such as lactic acid.
  • sore muscles are the result of minute muscle fiber tears
  • biomechanical stimulation improves the recovery of these sore muscles caused by the tiny muscle tears following exercise. Again, by increasing the blood flow and oscillating the sore muscles with the elliptical stimulation motion of the biomechanical stimulation device, the muscles are able to recover faster thus helping the athlete prepare for peak performance in the next competition.
  • a biomechanical stimulation device comprises a base that supports an arm and a drum connected to the arm.
  • the drum is driven by a motor to provide a stimulation motion, such as an orbital stimulation motion.
  • the drum may connect to the arm at a single attachment point.
  • the arm 20 may be pivotally attached to the base and selectively movable to a desired position.
  • One or more struts may support the arm to assist in positioning the arm.
  • the strut or struts may be locked to prevent movement of the arm, or unlocked by a release button to allow selective positioning of the arm.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a biomechanical stimulation device.
  • Figure 2A illustrates a right view of a rotational motion drum.
  • Figure 2B illustrates a left view of a rotational motion drum.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a drum assembly having a single mounting attachment and slidable surface.
  • Figure 4 illustrates an upper arm assembly
  • Figure 5 illustrates an underside view of a biomechanical stimulation device having an extendable strut.

  • Figure 7 illustrates a cutaway view of a rotational motion drum of a biomechanical stimulation device showing a mounting method.
  • Figure 8 illustrates the electrical and electronic components of a Lower Arm
  • Figure 9 illustrates a hand controller user interface control.
  • Figure 10 illustrates a side view of an eccentric shaft.
  • Figure 1 1 illustrates a perspective view of an eccentric shaft.
  • a device for providing biomechanical stimulation of various parts of the human anatomy is presented.
  • the device may be used with body parts such as muscles and soft tissue for performance enhancement or rehabilitation purposes.
  • the device enhances user interaction with the biomechanical stimulation device ("biomechanical stimulator") by providing additional options for biomechanical stimulation therapy and improved position adjustment options.
  • the biomechanical stimulator device 5 includes a drum 10 attached to an upper arm 20.
  • the drum 10 provides a biomechanical stimulation motion, such as an orbital translation motion.
  • the drum 10 may comprise a cylindrical unit, or other shape, that contains a drive motor.
  • the drum 10 is constrained to carry out rigid body motion, without appreciable rotation, such as by translating through a defined circular or elliptical orbit.
  • the upper arm 20 is pivotally attached by pivot interface bearings 55 to a pair of upright arm supports 50 that are attached to the base 40.
  • the position of the drum 10 may be adjusted by pivoting the arm 20 with respect to the base 40 to a desired position.
  • the upper arm 20 assembly may house a pivot release button 25. When activated, the release button 25 may cause the arm 20 to release a clamping system of a pair of extension struts 45. Releasing the extension struts 45 allows the drum 10 to pivot with respect to the arm supports 50 and be set at any desired position along the travel of the arm 20. In an embodiment, the arm may travel up to 80 degrees.
  • the 80 degrees of travel may allow the arm 20 to be positioned from a near horizontal position to a near vertical position, thus allowing for a comfortable position of the drum 10 for various body parts to be selected.
  • the extension strut or struts 45 provide an upward force to push the drum 10 upward at a dampened velocity, thereby affording the user an easier position adjustment.
  • the struts 45 may comprise modular locking gas springs.
  • a locking and unlocking mechanism is configured to release all locking gas springs at once.
  • the locking and unlocking mechanism employs a pair of serially linked slider crank linkages to control the gas springs. This arrangement provides the necessary mechanical advantage, which can be adjusted by changing the position of a single fulcrum.
  • the upper arm may be composed of hollow shells with thin-walled, generally C-shaped cross-sections.
  • the cross sections may be economically manufactured as aluminum castings that are joined together with fasteners to transfer shear load between the shells at their mating boundary and create dramatically higher torsional and bending stiffness in the resulting structure of the arm 20.
  • An electronic housing 30 may attach to the upper arm 20.
  • the electronic housing 30 provides a stiffening support for the upper arm 20.
  • the lower arm- electronic housing 30 may house electrical components and electronic controls for the biomechanical stimulator 5.
  • the arm is composed of conductive material or a conductively coated material.
  • An electrically conductive gasket may be disposed between the structural components of the arm 20 to create a Faraday cage and effectively shield the internal electronics from creating or being affected by electro-magnetic interference (EMI).
  • EMI electro-magnetic interference
  • the arm 20 may include thermally conductive structural components to act as a heat sink and thus reduce the size, cost, temperature, and failure rates of the electronics in the electronic housing 30.
  • the biomechanical stimulator 5 includes a drum 10, as shown in Figures 2A and 2B.
  • the drum may be configured to translate in an orbiting motion with respect to the upper arm 20.
  • the drum 10 may comprise a cylindrically shaped body and components to facilitate motion of the drum 10 housed inside the body of the drum 10.
  • the drum 10 may be any ergonomic shape that readily affords transfer of biomechanical stimulation to a user's body parts.
  • the drum 10 may be manufactured from a metal, plastic, composite, or other material conventionally used for such components.
  • the outside of the drum 10 may be coated with a layer made from a soft material such as foam rubber.
  • the drum 10 may be connected to the motor 70 by means of a ball bearing in such a manner that, during operation, the cylindrical basic body carries out a circular or elliptical movement about an axis that differs from the central axis of the drum cylinder and undergoes parallel displacement in the process.
  • This movement has been described in the pending European patent applications No. 03028004.4 and No. 04000668.6, each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
  • the drum 10 thus is driven to translate in a circular or elliptical orbit.
  • the orbit may be uniform and consistently repeated instead of random. It has been shown that biomechanical muscle stimulation can be carried out in a considerably more effective manner in this way than if it is carried out using random and therefore nonuniform movements.
  • the elliptical or circular movements of the drum 10 provide not only a vertical force but also a tensile force that can act in an essentially parallel manner on a device or body part placed on the drum 10. This results in considerably improved biomechanical stimulation of that part of the body which is situated on the drum.
  • the movement of the drum may be translation in a circular orbit about an axis without appreciable rotation.
  • circular movement is understood as meaning a movement that differs from an ideal circular movement by no more than 5%.

  • the eccentric drive shaft 65 is attached to an anti-rotation plate 80 and drum-shaft support bearing.
  • the eccentric shaft 65 provides the amplitude of the elliptical stimulation motion.
  • the anti-rotation mechanism employs a plurality of rubber elements or sandwich mounts to appreciably limit rotation of the drum 10, while allowing translation of the drum 10 through the prescribed orbit characteristic of biomechanical stimulation.
  • One end of each rubber element is attached to the non-orbiting drum base while the other end is attached to the orbiting portion of the drum 10.
