Definitions

  • the invention relates to support pillows that can be used in sitting and/or lying position in furniture groups such as armchairs, sofas, chairs, and beds.
  • the musculoskeletal system In human anatomy, the musculoskeletal system not only carries the burden of our body but also takes different shapes and encounters difficulties during working, carrying, sitting, standing up and lying down. Like all other components, the spine is of great importance in the musculoskeletal system.
  • the spine consists of thirty tree bones. These are called vertebrae. Although the vertebrae differ in shape according to the region they are located in, their anatomical structures are the same. Vertebrae classified according to their shape differences are divided into five groups as Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral and Coccygeal Vertebrae. Below, the mentioned vertebrae are explained in order:
  • the inner drum-shaped oval parts of the vertebrae are called the corpus
  • the protrusions on the right and left are transverse processes
  • the horn-shaped extension on the posterior part is called the spinous process.
  • Vertebrae are connected to each other by cushions called intervertebral discs.
  • the role of the discs in the spinal system is to prevent the erosion of the bones by touching each other and to provide flexibility that allows the spine to move.
  • the spine is also tightly wrapped in connective tissues called ligaments that surround it on all sides. Ligaments that hold the front region are called the anterior ligaments, and those that hold the back region are called the posterior ligaments.
  • the spine system which forms an integrity with all these elements, performs its duty in a stable state and protects the spinal cord.
  • Muscles are at least as important as the spine. The focus of our subject is on the back muscles. The back muscles are divided into two groups as superficial and deep.
  • Superficial back muscles are divided into five as M. Trapezius (trapezoid muscle), M. Latissimus Dorsi (broad back muscle), M. Rhomboideus Major (Great rhomboid muscle) and M. Rhomboideus Minor (Small rhomboid muscle), M. Levator Scapula (Scapula lifting muscle), and M. Serratus Posterior Superior (Upper posterior toothed muscle) and M. Serratus Posterior inferior (Lower posterior toothed muscle).
  • Rhomboideus Major (Great rhomboid muscle)
  • Rhomboideus Minor (Small rhomboid muscle)
  • M Levator Scapula (Scapula lifting muscle) It is on the outside of the back of the neck. It pulls the scapula up, bends the neck outward.
  • the deep back muscles are the main muscles of the back and are placed in longitudinal grooves on both sides of the spinous protrusions of the vertebrae. Deep back muscles are generally located in a superficial and deep position. These muscles cause extension, lateral flexion and rotation of the head and spine; also allow the body to stand upright.
  • the spine and muscles mentioned above have solid structures. However, they are also sensitive. A defect in their structures affects not only the related spine and muscle, but also other organs or functions.
  • Pain may occur due to a wide range of injuries ranging from simple injuries such as crushing and stretching in the muscles to various fractures. Such injuries may be accompanied by nerve damage or may pose a risk for nerve damage in the future.
  • Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia is a common disease that develops depending on the living conditions of today's societies, and can spread to shoulder blades, shoulders and cause widespread body pain. Stress, anxiety, and similar factors can also increase fibromyalgia. It is not uncommon for morning stiffness to accompany, to increase in cold and humid weather, to bring fatigue, difficulty in concentration and headaches. These complaints may not all be seen at the same time, and symptoms may differ from person to person. It can be seen in all genders and all ages. The cause is not known for sure.
  • Hernias in the discs which are the cushions between the vertebrae, are more common in the neck and waist. Less commonly, there may also be a hernia in the back area. Hernia may cause girdle-like pain or tingling in certain areas of the chest wall by pressing on a nerve root depending on the area where it occurs. If the hernia that occurs will put pressure on the spinal cord, there may be difficulty in walking and a shortening in walking distance. Osteoclasis
  • Scoliosis of unknown cause is not generally a cause of pain.
  • back pain may be a cause with the addition of joint degeneration as age increases.
  • Benign and malignant tumours originating from the bone or nerve structures of the spine can cause back pain, as well as tumours such as breast, lung, prostate, etc. can spread to the spine and cause back pain. It is one of the important features that it occurs as night pain and does not go away with rest. Symptoms such as fever, weight loss and malaise may also accompany.
  • Back pain can also occur due to "reflected pain” caused by organs in various parts of the body in addition to the muscles and bones in the back region. In such cases, your back pain may be a harbinger of lung diseases, heart diseases, stomach problems and similar conditions. Other reasons
  • cervical curve neck region
  • thoracic curve back region
  • lumbar curve lumbar curve
  • sacral curve sacral curve
  • Body support products are also preferred along with many treatment methods for waist, back and shoulder pains.
  • Pillows made of sponge material are generally used in support products.
  • Particularly, lumbar support pillows are widely used today. Lumbar support pillows are used only to fill the waist gap.
  • Some of the support pillows known as “Wedge Support Pillow” in the prior art have buttons on the edges to hold and level the auxiliary support piece.
  • the support piece is brought to the desired level by being buttoned on both sides.
  • the support parts used in the mentioned support pillow are fixed by means of buttons.
  • Product use is limited to the levels provided by the predefined button spacing. Because it is not possible to add an unlimited number of buttons.
  • the user has to sacrifice his comfort. Because it is not possible to perform this process in the resting position.
  • support pillows made of sponge, viscoelastic foam or fibre are generally used to fill the waist gap. Support products with springy or elastic structure are also used to fill the waist gap.
  • the purpose of the invention is to obtain an ergonomic neck and lumbar support pillow that supports cervical curve (neck region), thoracic curve (back region), lumbar curve (waist region), and sacral curve (coccyx) and can be adjusted according to the body anatomy.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to obtain a support pillow that provides neck support along with the waist.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to obtain a support pillow that can be used without leaning on a wall, sofa, armchair, etc. to provide lumbar and neck support.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to obtain a support pillow that includes adjustable support parts that allow people of different body sizes to use.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to obtain a neck and lumbar support pillow that includes washable cover.
  • Support pillow developed to achieve the mentioned purposes include a trunk (2), auxiliary support pads (3), adjusting strip (4), a pocket (5) and a seat cushion (6).
