Description

Therapievorrichtunq  Therapievorrichtunq
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Therapievorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. The invention relates to a therapy device according to the preamble of claim 1.
Die Erfindung geht von einer Therapievorrichtung mit einem sich bewegenden Flächenelement aus. Derartige Therapievorrichtungen beispielsweise in Form von Therapieliegen sind bekannt. Diese führen beispielsweise in der Liegefläche kreisende Bewegungen aus. Allerdings ist bei diesen Therapievorrichtungen der Therapieerfolg nicht optimal. The invention is based on a therapy device with a moving surface element. Such therapy devices, for example in the form of therapy tables are known. These perform, for example, circular movements in the lying surface. However, the therapeutic success of these therapy devices is not optimal.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die A u f g a b e zugrunde, eine Therapievorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, bei welcher im Hinblick auf einen optimalen Therapieeffekt die Bewegung des Flächenelements verbessert ist. On this basis, the invention is based on the invention to provide a therapy device of the type specified, in which the movement of the surface element is improved with regard to an optimal therapeutic effect.
Die technische L ö s u n g ist gekennzeichnet durch die Merkmale im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1. The technical solution is characterized by the features in the characterizing part of claim 1.
Dadurch ist eine Therapievorrichtung bzw: ein Therapiemodul geschaffen, welche sich durch eine verbesserte Therapiewirkung auszeichnet. Die Grundidee der erfindungsgemäßen Therapievorrichtung bzw. des erfindungsgemäßen Therapiemoduls besteht darin, daß das Flächenelement eine oszillierende Bewegung vollführt, und zwar bezüglich der Ebene des Flächenelements in senkrechter oder nahezu senkrechter Richtung. Das Flächenelement kann dabei eben, aber auch profiliert sein. Sollte das Flächenelement profiliert sein, so definiert die allgemeine Ausdehnungserstreckung des Flächenelements die vorbeschriebene Ebene. Die Bewegung dieses oszillierenden Flächenelements ist dabei konkret eine Hin- und Herbewegung bzw. eine Vor- und Zurück-Bewegung. Das grundlegende erfindungsgemäße Konzept dieser erfindungsgemäßen Therapievorrichtung ist ihr Einsatz als Stoßwellenmodul infolge der insbesondere kurzhubig oszillierenden Bewegung. Die erfindungsgemäße Therapievorrichtung bzw. das Therapiemodul kann dabei in Therapieliegen mit einer durchgehenden Fläche eingebaut werden. Die Therapieliege oder allgemein die Therapievorrichtung kann aber auch durch Einsatz von mehreren Modulen in mehrere Stoßwellenzonen unterteilt sein. Sofern die Therapievorrichtung als Therapiemodul ausgebildet ist, können diese Module als Bodenmodul einzeln oder zu einer Therapiefläche in beliebiger Größer zusammengeschaltet werden. Diese Module können in Standgeräten, Betten, Pflegebetten, Stühlen, Sesseln etc. verbaut werden. Alle denkbaren Möglichkeiten können frei miteinander kombiniert werden. Dies schließt auch eine Kombination mit anderen Therapiegeräten ein, einschließlich sämtlicher Arten von Therapieliegen. Die erfindungsgemäße Therapievorrichtung kann auch in herkömmlichen Trainingsgeräten verbaut oder mit diesen kombiniert eingesetzt werden. Auch ein Einsatz in verstellbaren und verschiebbaren Systemen ist möglich. Die Therapiewirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Therapievorrichtung bzw. des erfindungsgemäßen Therapiemoduls in sämtlichen Ausführungsformen und Gestaltungen besteht darin, daß durch die kurzhubige oszillierende Bewegung Stoßwellen auf den Körper ausgeübt werden, welche den Therapieerfolg herbeiführen. As a result, a therapy device or a therapy module is created, which is characterized by an improved therapeutic effect. The basic idea of the therapy device or the therapy module according to the invention is that the surface element performs an oscillating movement, with respect to the plane of the surface element in a vertical or nearly vertical direction. The surface element can be flat, but also profiled. Should the surface element be profiled, the general expansion extent of the surface element defines the above-described plane. The movement of this oscillating surface element is concretely a reciprocating motion or a forward and backward movement. The basic concept according to the invention of this therapy device according to the invention is its use as a shockwave module as a result of the movement oscillating in the short-stroke manner, in particular. The therapy device or the therapy module according to the invention can be installed in therapy tables with a continuous surface. However, the therapy couch or generally the therapy apparatus can also be subdivided into several shockwave zones by using several modules. If the therapy device is designed as a therapy module, these modules can be interconnected as a floor module individually or to a therapeutic surface in any size. These modules can be installed in standard equipment, beds, care beds, chairs, armchairs etc. All conceivable possibilities can be freely combined with each other. This also includes a combination with other therapy devices, including all types of therapy tables. The therapy device according to the invention can also be installed in conventional training devices or used in combination with them. A use in adjustable and movable systems is possible. The Therapeutic effect of the therapy device according to the invention or the therapy module according to the invention in all embodiments and designs is that shock waves are exerted on the body by the short-stroke oscillating movement, which bring about the therapeutic success.
Vorzugsweise beträgt gemäß der Weiterbildung in Anspruch 2 der Bewegungshub der Flächenelemente 1 bis 10 mm. Preferably, according to the embodiment in claim 2, the movement stroke of the surface elements 1 to 10 mm.
Gemäß der Weiterbildung in Anspruch 3 beträgt die Bewegungsfrequenz des Flächenelements 10 bis 60 Hz. Dadurch wird ein optimaler Therapieerfolg erzielt. According to the embodiment in claim 3, the movement frequency of the surface element 10 to 60 Hz. This optimal therapy success is achieved.
Gemäß der Weiterbildung in Anspruch 4 kann das Flächenelement der Therapievorrichtung bzw. des Therapiemoduls horizontal, vertikal oder schräg ausgerichtet sein. Dadurch kann die zu therapierende Person optimal bezüglich des Flächenelements positioniert werden. Bei einer horizontalen Ausrichtung des Flächenelements kann die Person darauf liegen, darauf sitzen oder darauf stehen. Bei der vertikalen Anordnung des Flächenelements kann sich die zu therapierende Person dagegen lehnen, ebenso wie bei der schrägen Ausrichtung des Flächenelements. According to the embodiment in claim 4, the surface element of the therapy device or the therapy module can be aligned horizontally, vertically or obliquely. As a result, the person to be treated can be optimally positioned with respect to the surface element. With a horizontal orientation of the surface element, the person can lie on it, sit on it or stand on it. With the vertical arrangement of the surface element, the person to be treated can lean against it, as well as in the oblique orientation of the surface element.
Die bevorzugte Weiterbildung gemäß Anspruch 5 schlägt einen besonderen Antrieb für die Stoßwellenerzeugung vor. Die Grundidee besteht darin, daß das Flächenelement mittels Federn frei schwingend gelagert ist. An dem Flächenelement ist dann eine Exzentereinrichtung fest angeordnet. Diese Exzentereinrichtung wird vorzugsweise mittels eines Elektromotors angetrieben. Der in dieser Exzentereinrichtung integrierte und sich bewegende Exzenter führt aufgrund seiner Exzentrizität eine oszillierende Bewegung aus, welche sich auf das federnd gelagerte Flächenelement überträgt. Dies bedeutet, daß beim Betätigen der Exzentereinrichtung das Flächenelement in eine oszillierende Bewegung übergeht. Die oszillierende Bewegung der Exzentereinrichtung wird dabei durch parallel zu den Federn angeordnete Linearführungen in eine lineare Stoßbewegung umgelenkt. Dies bedeutet, daß durch diese Linearführungen nur diejenige lineare Bewegungsrichtung zugelassen wird, welche als Stoßwelle bezeichnet wird. The preferred development according to claim 5 proposes a special drive for shock wave generation. The basic idea is that the surface element is mounted freely swinging by means of springs. On the surface element then an eccentric is fixed. This eccentric device is preferably driven by means of an electric motor. The eccentric integrated and moving in this eccentric performs due to its eccentricity of an oscillating movement, which transmits to the spring-mounted surface element. This means that upon actuation of the eccentric the surface element merges into an oscillating movement. The oscillating movement of the eccentric is thereby deflected by arranged parallel to the springs linear guides in a linear thrust movement. This means that only those linear movement direction is allowed by these linear guides, which is referred to as a shock wave.
Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung hiervon schlägt gemäß Anspruch 6 vor, daß als Federn Wendelfedern vorgesehen sind, wobei diese Wendelfedern auf vertikalen Führungsstangen für eine lineare Bewegung in vertikaler Richtung geführt sind und wobei das Flächenelement auf den Wendelfedern frei schwingend gelagert ist. Diese einfache konstruktive Realisierung stellt sicher, daß das Flächenelement aufgrund der Führung der Wendelfedern auf den Führungsstangen eine exakt lineare Hin- und Herbewegung durchführt. Alternativ ist es gemäß der Weiterbildung in Anspruch 7 möglich, daß an dem Flächenelement ein Antriebsmotor angreift, welcher die oszillierende Bewegung direkt auf das Flächenelement überträgt. A preferred development thereof proposes according to claim 6, that are provided as springs coil springs, said coil springs are guided on vertical guide rods for a linear movement in the vertical direction and wherein the surface element is mounted freely swinging on the coil springs. This simple structural realization ensures that the surface element performs an exactly linear reciprocating motion due to the leadership of the coil springs on the guide rods. Alternatively, it is possible according to the embodiment in claim 7, that acts on the surface element, a drive motor which transmits the oscillating movement directly to the surface element.
Grundsätzlich kann gemäß der Weiterbildung in Anspruch 8 ein einziges Flächenelement vorgesehen sein. Hier kann es sich beispielsweise um eine durchgehende Therapieliege handeln, welche eine vertikale Auf- und Abbewegung vollführt. In principle, according to the embodiment in claim 8, a single surface element may be provided. This may be, for example, a continuous therapy couch, which performs a vertical up and down movement.
Alternativ können gemäß der Weiterbildung in Anspruch 9 voneinander separate, einzelne Therapiemodule vorgesehen sein, welche zu einer größeren Einheit bzw. zu einem Therapiemodulfeld zusammengestellt werden können. Dadurch ergeben sich beispielsweise bei Therapieliegen mehrere Stoßwellenzonen, welche individuell angesteuert werden können. Insbesondere können mit diesen Modulen Therapieflächen in beliebiger Größe zusammengeschaltet werden. Somit ist das Modulsystem als Baukastensystem gedacht und einsetzbar, und zwar sowohl waagrecht als auch senkrecht. Alternatively, according to the development in claim 9, separate, individual therapy modules can be provided which can be combined to form a larger unit or a therapy module field. This results, for example, in therapy couches several shock wave zones, which can be controlled individually. In particular, therapy surfaces of any size can be interconnected with these modules. Thus, the modular system is intended as a modular system and can be used, both horizontally and vertically.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Therapievorrichtung in Form einer Therapieliege wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen dargestellt. In diesen zeigt: An embodiment of a therapy device according to the invention in the form of a therapy couch is shown below with reference to the drawings. In these shows:
Fig. 1 eine Vorderansicht der Therapieliege; Fig. 1 is a front view of the therapy couch;
Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht der Therapieliege. Fig. 2 is a side view of the therapy table.
Die Therapievorrichtung in Form einer Therapieliege weist ein Flächenelement 1 mit einer durchgehenden Fläche auf. The therapy device in the form of a therapy couch has a surface element 1 with a continuous surface.
Dieses Flächenelement 1 ist vertikal frei schwingend auf Federn 2 in Form von Wendelfedern gelagert. Die Federn 2 sind dabei auf vertikalen Führungen in Form von Führungsstangen 4 für eine lineare Bewegung in vertikaler Richtung geführt. This surface element 1 is mounted vertically swinging freely on springs 2 in the form of coil springs. The springs 2 are guided on vertical guides in the form of guide rods 4 for a linear movement in the vertical direction.
An der Unterseite des Flächenelements 1 ist schließlich eine Exzentereinrichtung 3 fest angeordnet. Finally, an eccentric device 3 is fixedly arranged on the underside of the planar element 1.
Die Funktionsweise ist wie folgt: The operation is as follows:
Die zu therapierende Person liegt auf dem Flächenelement 1 der Therapieliege. Indem die Exzentereinrichtung 3 betägigt wird, wird aufgrund der Exzentrizität des entsprechenden Gewichts eine Unwucht erzeugt. Dies überträgt sich derart auf das Flächenelement 1 , daß dieses eine oszillierende, vertikale Auf- und Abbewegung durchführt. Der Bewegungshub beträgt dabei 1 bis 10 mm und die Bewegungsfrequenz 1 bis 60 Hz. Dadurch werden Stoßwellen erzeugt, welche sich auf die auf der Therapieliege liegende Person übertragen. Die oszillierende Bewegung der Exzentereinrichtung 3 wird dabei durch die den Federn 2 zugeordneten Führungsstangen 4 in eine lineare Stoßbewegung umgelenkt. Dies bedeutet, daß durch diese Linearführungen nur diejenige lineare Bewegungsrichtung zugelassen wird, welche als Stoßwelle bezeichnet wird. The person to be treated lies on the surface element 1 of the therapy couch. By biasing the eccentric 3, an imbalance is generated due to the eccentricity of the corresponding weight. This is transferred to the surface element 1 such that it performs an oscillating, vertical up and down movement. The movement stroke is 1 to 10 mm and the movement frequency 1 to 60 Hz. This shock waves are generated, which are transmitted to the person lying on the therapy table. The oscillating movement of the eccentric 3 is thereby deflected by the springs 2 associated guide rods 4 in a linear thrust movement. This means that only those linear movement direction is allowed by these linear guides, which is referred to as a shock wave.
Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Flächenelement 1 als durchgehende Fläche dargestellt. Es ist aber auch denkbar, daß mehrere einzelne Flächenelementmodule vorgesehen sind, welche entsprechend zusammengefügt werden. Dadurch werden mehrere Stoßwellenzonen definiert. In the illustrated embodiment, the surface element 1 is shown as a continuous surface. But it is also conceivable that a plurality of individual surface element modules are provided, which are assembled together. As a result, multiple shock wave zones are defined.
Auch können entsprechende Therapiemodule anderweitig verbaut sein, beispielsweise in Standgeräte, Betten, Pflegebetten, Stühlen, Sesseln etc. Die zu therapierende Person kann auf den entsprechenden Einrichtungen liegen, sitzen, stehen oder sich anlehnen. Auch kann die erfindungsgemäße Therapievorrichtung mit anderen Therapieeinrichtungen kombiniert oder in diesen verbaut werden. Also, appropriate therapy modules can be installed elsewhere, for example, in free-standing devices, beds, nursing beds, chairs, armchairs, etc. The person to be treated can lie on the appropriate facilities, sit, stand or lean against. Also, the therapy device according to the invention can be combined with other therapeutic devices or installed in these.
