Description

DISPOSITIF DE MESURE DE FORCE MUSCULAIRE MOTORISÉ  MOTORIZED MUSCLE STRENGTH MEASURING DEVICE
DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L’INVENTION TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] L’invention concerne un dispositif pour mesurer une force musculaire exercée par les muscles du dos d’un patient, en particulier les muscles courts et profonds du dos.  The invention relates to a device for measuring a muscular force exerted by the muscles of the back of a patient, in particular the short and deep muscles of the back.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURE STATE OF THE PRIOR ART
[0002] Le mal de dos est associé généralement à un manque de capacité musculaire des muscles assurant un équilibrage de la colonne vertébrale. Il y a deux types de muscles du dos : les muscles extenseurs, relativement longs et superficiels, intervenant dans des mouvements de grandes amplitudes, et les muscles courts et profonds assurant des mouvements d’allongement de la colonne vertébrale.  Back pain is generally associated with a lack of muscle capacity in the muscles ensuring balancing of the spine. There are two types of back muscles: the extensor muscles, which are relatively long and superficial, involved in movements of large amplitudes, and the short and deep muscles ensuring lengthening movements of the spine.
[0003] Actuellement, pour pouvoir mesurer et contrôler les muscles courts et profonds, il existe un dispositif de mesure décrit dans le document FR 2 843 873. Ce dispositif comporte une base inférieure d’appui, une console supérieure d’appui déplaçable verticalement au-dessus de la base inférieure d’appui le long d’un mât vertical. Toutefois, ce dispositif présente l’inconvénient de ne pas permettre facilement un réglage du positionnement de la console supérieure d’appui d’un patient à l’autre : déverrouillage de la console, déplacement de la console et verrouillage en position nouvelle de la console. D’autre part pour un même patient, il est difficile d’avoir la même position de la console supérieure d’une séance à l’autre.
