Description

The The present invention relates to an exercise device, in particular snare device for gymnastic and / or exercising body movement, after the preamble of claim 1.

you uses exercise equipment in the Physiotherapy as possible stress-free exercise of body parts or the whole body, the e.g. in sling devices hung horizontally can be. Especially with conventional Wire mesh sling devices It can be difficult or impossible be, the suspension points over selected body parts to arrange vertically. A shift is common under load hardly feasible, So that the Freedom of movement of a patient or his repositioning highly limited is and also adverse tensile or compressive loads can occur.

Exercise equipment of said Kind of can on a scaffold be slidably mounted, especially on or with longitudinal struts. Such a framework can be mobile or stationary be, e.g. as a ceiling, floor and / or wall scaffolding or a wave grid conventional Be construction. Often The decompression bar or the entire scaffold is simply placed on a ceiling suspended while a stand scaffold freely put in a room and enter wall framework supported on at least one wall of a room.

A hip exerciser according to US Pat. No. 3,612,042 sees over a lounger a supported at the ends overhead longitudinal spar, which holds on a horizontally displaceable and fixable bearing a vertical support for a turn horizontal bar. A bending can swing the rod by hand; towards its free end, which, for example, supports one leg of the patient in slings, the rod is coupled to a resistance device which has a transverse bar displaceable along the longitudinal beam and a telescopic spring displaceable thereon, which acts on the load end of the pivoting rod. Naturally, only a few forms of treatment and exercise can be performed with such an exercise device.

In EP 543251 B1 is a modern exercise device with suspension devices for ropes, slings or straps on a hinged decompression bar described, which are given favorable characteristics and diverse possibilities for storage and movement of persons or individual body parts for physiotherapeutic and gymnastic exercises.

improvement but exists with regard to the exact positioning of body parts for one careful Diagnosis and for the precise one execution certain movements or to apply loads during therapy, especially superimposed Loads and multidimensional movements or actions too are avoided. It is an important object of the invention, a variable, multifunctional loop device to provide that with high freedom of movement both an accurate positioning a patient and / or individual body parts as well as defined, Therapy-friendly movements and load applications possible. The Device should simple, inexpensive produce and be easy to use.

main features The invention are in the claims 1, 6, 10, 12, 15 and 24 indicated. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent Claims.

at an exercise device, in particular sling device for gymnastic and / or exercising body movement, with a carrying device for holding a possibly displaceable, to a vertical axis pivotable decompression bar on which hangers for slings, Belts and / or ropes for storage and / or movement of body parts and / or for applying loads, is according to the invention as claimed 1 provided that the decompression rod in the vertical direction is at least partially stiffened and on slidably adjustable and rotatable cross-bars carries it.

The Device is suitable in general for use in physiotherapy, in particular also for diagnostics, prevention and / or rehabilitation. The decompression bar is in a horizontal Level swiveling. Due to the stiffening is a particularly high Tilting security achieved, which greatly supports the treatment. With along the decompression bar steplessly displaceable and rotatable crossbars let the suspension devices comfortable and exactly to desired Bring jobs and set there, even under load during a Therapy or exercise. As a result, exact positioning and freedom of movement of the Patients always assured.

The vertical stiffening and thus the tipping safety is by means of parallel superposed rods, tubes or the like. achieved, which form an extremely stable beam of high load capacity. This is also called a double staff; It allows for easy movement and even, safe positioning of slings, straps and / or ropes. The dop With its generally parallel rods or tubes, the rod prevents tipping or jamming of the transverse layers displaceable on the decompression rod and also increases the stability of the beam against sagging.

The Carrying device can be anchored to a ceiling ceiling plate having, with a protruding from her support rod or tube rigidly connected, the lower end of a rotary and support bearings for the Compression rod has. This construction allows a right simple, reliable Assembly. The use of an adapter is possible. The support rod can as Telescope tube arrangement may be formed. Preferably, the rotary and support bearings at or near one end of the decompression rod. To its other, support free end, goes from there advantageously a strut, at or near the the upper end of the support tube is rotatably articulated and the Kragmoment of the pivoting beam.

To an aspect of the invention, for the self-employed Protection is sought, the exercise device has two in Vertical direction stiffened decompression rods, of one and the same Carrying device supported and coupled or coupled with each other. This is the full-body suspension of a subject equally possible like the suspension individual body parts. If the two decompression bars have a common pivot bearing, they are linked by this joint. Appropriately surrounds one rotary bearing part the other, e.g. in the axial direction, so that a übraus compact Warehouse is formed. Cantilever moment struts engage and are at or near the free ends of the decompression bars hinged at or near the upper end of the support tube to this individually. As a result, the mutually coupled decompression bars are independent of each other pivotable.

at an important design is on at least one decompression bar a traction device with a vertically arranged traction rod provided, the suspension devices for slings, Belts and / or ropes, preferably a cross bar with it slidably arranged camps. Advantageously, the traction bar is height adjustable at the free, the rotary and support bearing opposite End of the relevant decompression bar. At the traction device you attach the or each one end of ropes, the other End at loops or straps attacks to body parts of the patient store or pull to Extension of the spine e.g. exercise in the hip area. In addition, can one tensioning devices such as spring scales, motor-driven cables, etc. deploy.

Independent protection is also claimed for a design with a supported by a support device Frame on which the or each decompression bar slidably, e.g. is stored approximately in the middle. The frame generally has two parallel spaced apart spars, with which two transverse struts connected are, of which at least one is longitudinally displaceable and on those of the or each decompression bar, each with a rotary / linear bearings is mounted transversely displaceable and rotatable or pivotable. You score a very big one stability by the two-point mounting of the decompression rod thus formed. If you pique it, e.g. from the middle to his pivot bearing on the fixed Cross strut, so the movable cross strut is used, at the Swivel bearing the decompression rod is additionally supported. Alternatively you can the Cross struts on which the decompression sticks or added are, by means of an adapter firmly attach to an existing scaffold what especially for retrofitting an exercise device recommends For example, a sling device with ceiling wave grid.

According to one Aspect of the invention, for also independently Protection is sought after, at least at one of the camps or each Decompression bar on the support or on the frame means to change the distance to the decompression bar provided to the height adjustment or adjustment and optionally the horizontal orientability conveniently to reach. This can advantageously a threaded spacer or serve a screw, the or by turning in or out in associated threaded holes the distance between Tragvorrdichtung or frame and decompression bar reduced or enlarged.

at linear moving parts, ie the holders of decompression rod, Traction rod and / or crossbars on the one hand and the linear or receiving bearings for the loops, straps and / or ropes On the other hand, a mutual leadership is provided with particular advantage, e.g. by a tongue and groove element, the ble Baren as projecting part Facilities prevents twisting or tilting. You can therefore instead of earlier used polygonal carriers inexpensive Round tubes or rods and use appropriate bearings, but still has full Steadiness.

The means for suspending or securing slings, straps and / or ropes are also preferably freely movable in at least part of a plane defined by the pivoting or translating plane of each decompression rod or the suspension bearings arranged thereon. Thanks to the pivotal mounting of each decompression bar and, if necessary, an additionally displaceable mounting of the frame or in the frame, each area of the decompression bar in a Horizon tale plane offset and positioned exactly.

Further are according to the invention on the or each decompression bar cross bars provided at which receiving warehouse with eyelets or pulleys and the like. For the ropes, slings and straps are present. This is along each crossbar further movement areas, especially displacement areas for the bearings defined, so that almost every point with a reception center for the slings, straps and / or Ropes is reachable. As a result of this freewheeling feature is - within naturally Borders - an unobstructed Movement of the suspended Body Parts secured,

Of the Range of movement of the cross bars can be limited by stop elements, for which the lockable Bearings are used or separate sleeves, e.g. in the form of sliding sleeves with Locking devices are used. When using in cross section enlarged end caps, balls or discs at the ends of the crossbars is a freewheel of the suspension bearings possible, without them from the crossbars could slip off. This gives you the opportunity the suspension of the subject completely free-running, especially as the other movable devices, in particular the linear or pivot bearings and other bearings for the reception of slings, Straps and / or ropes are also freely movable. This provides the big one Advantage of a painless storage of the patient, for example at the hip suspension Leg automatically falls as far into the abduction or abduction as it's the sum of the muscular, capsular and arthrogenic imbalances. It is important that an exactly vertical Positioning of ropes, for example, to support joints adjustable is what e.g. allows an accurate diagnosis of joint malfunction. Further are defined storage or metered movements for exact storage Training and gymnastic exercise possible.

For the treatment Often an accurate vertical suspension or storage of body parts is important. One achieves this by looking for Slings, straps and / or ropes each used two receiving camps, according to the diameter or the thickness of the relevant body part be spaced apart. For this purpose one can between the particular free-running bearings compression springs, e.g. coil springs provide, the spring force keeps the bearings at a distance, the a therapist can correct by hand.

Yet another independent Further development provides a drive device, for example an electric motor, which is an intermittent, cyclic or oscillating movement of device parts for themselves or relative to each other causes, so that the Patient through the force-guided Exercise is exercised. Isokinetic engines are also considered in which the subject collaborates in the movement. A movable one Part or more mutually movable parts may be a measuring device be assigned to capture the movement.

Further Advantages, characteristics and features of the present invention go from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to FIG Drawing forth. Show:

In the example of 1 a blanket variant of a sling device is shown which is suitable for suspending body parts of either the lower or upper body of a patient. A carrying device A has a plate P which can be fastened to a room ceiling. At the lower end of a protruding from the plate P support rod T is a rotary and support bearing D. A connected to this tube R surrounds the support rod T rotatable and is fixed to it with a lock F. The tube R is at the lower end with a holder for a decompression bar 13 and fixedly connected at the upper end with an oblique strut V, with its other end to a bearing part of the decompression bar 13 is attached.

Practically along the entire length is the decompression bar 13 by parallel pipes 14 stiffened so that a stable bar or double bar 20 is formed, at one end of a plate-shaped holder 7a is attached. The other, free end of the staff 13 opens into an L-shaped bracket 7c that also has a traction bar 15 receives. Due to the double rod group and the special support of the cross bars 11a ... 11e prevents jamming or tilting under load.

At the decompression bar 13 are several cross bars 11a to 11e provided, wherein the number is not limited to the illustrated five transverse bars. The crossbar 11b sits with a pivot bearing 4b directly on the holder of the double rod 14 , In the example shown, all other cross bars 11a . 11c ... 11e each with a pivot bearing 4a . 4c ... 4e to runners 6a . 6c ... 6e attached to the double rod 14 . 14 ' longitudinally displaceable and by means of locks 5a ... 5e For example, in the form of locking screws are fixed.

The cross bars 11a ... 11e have at their free ends in each case in diameter enlarged end plates or balls 12 so that between their ends a receiving and moving area for bearings 8th is formed. These are on the crossbars 11a ... 11e displaceable and preferred as also by means of [in 1 and 2 not designated] determiners fixable sliding sleeves are formed, which eyelets 24 and / or pulleys 25 wear. That's what ropes can do 28 , Straps, slings S or the like attached, which serve for suspending parts of the body, zBdes pelvis of a patient. Through the lenses or balls 12 at the ends of the crossbars 11a ... 11e is ensured that the reception camp 8th with a free movement along the cross bars 11a ... 11e can not slip off of these. Thus, in one of the closure bodies 12 limited area a freewheeling warehouse 8th on the crossbars 11a ... 11e possible. The locks, however, ensure that the bearings 8th can be fixed at desired points.

In 1 the runner wears 6f on a pivot bearing 4f a swiveling, grooved holding tube 19 , at the two shorter cross bars 29 are attached, which can be individually or both longitudinally displaceable and each sliding bearings 8th with hangers 24 or 25 to lead. It can be seen that with the holding tube 19 a pivotable unit is formed, which offers a special Aufhängemöglichkeit eg for the head of a subject.

By means of the runners 6a . 6c ... 6e can the cross bars 11a . 11c ... 11e in a range of motion or displacement on the decompression bar 13 between the end mounts 7a and 7c moved freely and by lock in the desired position along the decompression bar 13 be fixed. The provided for example for the storage of legs and feet of patients crossbars 11d . 11e allow a completely pain-free storage, for example in hip suspension in a loop S on the crossbars 11b and 11c ( 4 ), because the stored leg automatically falls into the so-called distraction or abduction, which corresponds to the sum of the muscular, capsular and arthrogenic dysbalances. In order to ensure the most vertical alignment of the cables or loops, are between each used for a suspension about on one side of a leg bearings 8th Arranged spring elements, such as compression or coil springs 9 which variably ensure a distance corresponding to the thickness of the leg or foot. But the brakes also allow a fixation of the bearings 8th at the crossbars 11a and 11e ,

At the opposite end of the carrying device A of the decompression bar 13 is in a horizontal leg of the L-shaped bracket 7c in an opening 27 a traction bar 15 slidably received, which also protruding at its ends end elements 12 has that pulling out the traction bar 15 out of the opening 27 prevent. The traction bar 15 also has a groove 20 on, which extends parallel to the axis over almost its entire length. The groove 20 acts with an engagement element, for example in the form of a locking screw 15a such that tilting moments or a twist of the traction rod 15 be prevented.

The latter has a sliding linear bearing 21 with a lock 15b on, who also with the groove 20 interact, eg with a threaded shaft into the groove 20 can be screwed to one on the linear bearing 21 arranged crossbar 16 store non-tilted. This has in turn at its ends supernatant lenses or balls 12 , At the crossbar 16 are sliding bearings 16a similar or equal to the camps 8th the other cross bars 11a ... 11e provided, which also in a freewheeling area between the closure elements 12 and the linear bearing 21 are freely movable and can be fixed there in any desired position with fasteners.

Also the bearings 16a have eyelets 24 on, with or with which ropes 28 , Slings S, straps or the like. are fastened. The bearings are preferably used 16a for applying a tensile load (traction) to a body region of the patient, by suitable tensioning cables X, for example between a hip loop and the eyelets, through a load L. 24 or pulleys 25 at the camps 16a be curious ( 4 to 9 ). Even a spring balance or a static or motorized tensioning device can this tensile load which may be clocked or controlled by program. Because the traction bar 15 at the end of the decompression bar 13 is arranged, the full mobility of the patient in therapy and training remains guaranteed.

In the 2 illustrated embodiment corresponds in part to that of 1 but here is a second decompression bar 13 * of the same kind present on the pivot bearing D with the first decompression bar 13 is coupled by a two-part joint G ₁ , G ₂ . Here, the joint outer part G ₁ surrounds the inner joint part G ₂ axially and radially. To fix the angular position serve lock F on each of the joint parts G ₁ , G ₂ . The stabilizing struts V are articulated at the upper end of the support rod T with separate pivot bearings H. These can be simple hook-and-eye connections. It is also possible to insert at any point between the pivot bearings H clamping screws with opposing threads, so that the bearing distance adjusted as needed and thus the support can be optimized. As a result, the height position of the free ends of the decompression bars 13 . 13 * adjustable to align them exactly at right angles to the support bar T or pipe R. Thus, the decompression bar is exactly in the horizontal plane pivoted, the support rod T and the tube R must be exactly vertical. This is achieved by means of an adjustable anchoring of the panel P on the ceiling, for example by adjustable spacers of variable size or by threaded heavy-duty dowels.

In the 2 Drawn ceiling variant of the device is suitable for suspending both a whole body and body regions or parts, with a patient on a couch W with documents U is located. Examples go out 4 to 6 out. The the 1 corresponding elements of the second decompression bar 13 * are in 2 (and in 3 to 9 ) each marked with a *.

In the embodiment of 3 and 3a are two mutually in the same plane opposite half-frame 1 . 1* with parallel longitudinal bars 17 . 18 present, which are preferably formed as a continuous tubes and linear bearings 1a . 1b ; 1a * . 1b * wear, which on the spars 17 . 18 slidable longitudinally slidably and can be fixed in the desired position, namely by means (not designated) locking screws. Such a frame device allows with a very simple, stable structure also the separate suspension of the upper and lower body of a subject or the whole-body suspension, and also tensile loads are both cranial and caudal possible.

The spars 17 . 18 may be part of a scaffolding that only on the ceiling of a room via (not shown) vertical struts at the ends of the spars 17 . 18 fixed or as a stand-alone unit or combined stand / wall unit. Also a mobile scaffold comes into consideration. In the training as a standard device are the longitudinal beams 17 . 18 Part of a free standing on the ground (not shown) scaffolding in the form of, for example, a cuboid cage, the spars 17 . 18 forming upper longitudinal struts. In a combined wall / stand installation, the spars 17 . 18 attached to one wall with one of its ends, while the other of its ends is supported by vertical struts (not shown) at the bottom of a room. The longitudinal beams 17 . 18 can also be part of an existing device, so that you can retrofit an existing sling device.

Every half frame 1 . 1* has two spaced parallel to each other transverse bars 2a . 2 B respectively. 2a * . 2 B* on. The linear bearings 1a . 1a * ; 1b . 1b * , each at the longitudinal beams 17 respectively. 18 slidably or slidably received, carry the cross beams 2 B . 2 B* , Alternatively or additionally, the transverse beams can 2a . 2a * over on the longitudinal spars 17 . 18 be executed linearly running linear bearings. In another conceivable variant, the cross beams 2a . 2 B respectively. 2a * . 2 B* in each case fixed distance along the longitudinal struts 17 . 18 be held displaceably realized, for example by common, the cross beams 2a and 2 B respectively. 2a * and 2 B* connecting linear bearings, or - in separate linear bearings - by connecting struts, which are the cross bars 2a and 2 B respectively. 2a * and 2 B* Keep at a fixed distance from each other.

Along the crossbars 2a . 2a * respectively. 2 B . 2 B* So are sliding linear bearings 3a . 3a * and 3b . 3b * provided, each with pivot bearings 4a . 4a * respectively. 4b . 4b * are connected, which pairs each have a decompression bar 13 ; 13 * holders. Every pivot bearing 4a . 4a * also sits on a double linear bearing 3c . 3c * , in which the relevant decompression bar 13 respectively. 13 * is included.

Deviating from 2 are the two decompression bars after 3 and 3a such as 7 to 9 be connected or connected by a coupling K, in the projecting eyes of end pieces in a simple manner by a bearing pin can be coupled.

Both decompression bars 13 . 13 * preferably have two parallel tubes 14 ; 14 * and therefore each form a double staff. Its axis of rotation is transverse to the bars 2a . 2a * respectively. 2 B . 2 B* and in particular vertically aligned. The two decompression rods 13 . 13 * can therefore on the pivot bearings 4a . 4a * ; 4b . 4b * horizontally in the plane of the transverse spars 2a . 2a * ; 2 B . 2 B* to be pivoted, while the linear bearings 3a . 3a * ; 3b . 3b * a displacement or displacement along the transverse spars 2a . 2a * ; 2 B . 2 B* allow. In 3a Double Arrows highlight a selection of movement options. For example, the pivot bearings 4a . 4a * be adjustable in height, preferably by means of a set screw or a threaded spacer to an exact horizontal orientation of each or each decompression bar 13 . 13 * to reach.

Thanks to the linear bearings 3a . 3a * ; 3b . 3b * can any decompression bar 13 . 13 * thus perform translational movements transverse to its longitudinal extent. In addition, a pivoting movement can be superimposed, so that the decompression bar 13 . 13 * diagonally to the spars 17 . 18 is adjustable, wherein it can protrude laterally beyond this. By means of locking devices 5a " 5a * ; 5b . 5b * for the linear bearings 3a . 3a * ; 3b . 3b * can be one of the bearing or pivot points 4a . 4a * ; 4b . 4b * are fixed, whereby the axis of the respective pivot bearing is fixed. The pivot bearing 4a can be eg by fixing the linear bearing 3a with the lock 5a fix while the linear bearing 3b at the crossbar 2 B remains displaceable, so that when pivoting the decompression bar 13 a rotary movement in the pivot bearing 4b with a shift of the linear bearing 3b accompanied.

Traction can be achieved through the traction bars 15 . 15 * apply either from the top of the head or the foot ( 4 to 9 ), which considerably expands the treatment options. For example, can be in a torso suspension using the traction rod 15 * perform a segmental spinal column movement of cranial in combination with a lateral flexion (lateral tilt) to the right or left and a right or left rotational movement ( 6 ). In addition, you can - even under motion - achieve targeted compression effects on the two traction devices.

It is very advantageous that the head of a patient has four displaceable suspension points on the transverse rods 29 can be stored without tilting, of which at least one on a grooved rod or holding tube 19 is shiftable, which allows a comfortable adaptation to different head sizes ( 5 to 9 ). In such head suspension is the through the pivot bearing between the holding tube 19 and the associated runner 6f * defined fulcrum segmental positioning and adjustable. This allows defined lateral tilting movements of the cervical spine and rotation options by simply shortening or lengthening the head sling suspension ropes.

The two decompression rods 13 . 13 * can be coupled together via a coupling K, for example by bearing pin, the protruding eyes on the components 6a . 6a * couple together (see eg 3 ). The pivot bearings 4b . 4b * then form a common pivot point, which allows the full-body suspension of the subject.

Yet another variant is in particular made 7 to 9 seen. Here is a device of otherwise in 2 structure shown attached to a ceiling with a plate P a support A, which has a head M with pivotable struts N on a telescopic support rod T. This makes it possible to turn the whole device around a vertical axis (weak double arrow) and / or to swing it around a horizontal axis (thick double arrow). In 9 is drawn a layer in which the two decompression bars 13 . 13 * aligned linearly and tilted together by an angle of eg 5 ° or more. By choosing the tilt angle, gravity can therefore act in different ways, not only in the illustrated, uniform full-body suspension. This is used, for example, in cardiovascular training or in the therapy of vertigo.

The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, but variously modifiable. Thus, it is advantageous in existing training devices with wave gratings, by means of suitable adapter to fix the sling device rigidly to a scaffold, wherein the longitudinal beams 17 . 18 not available and the crossbars 2 B . 2 B* must not be designed to be displaced.

A traction bar 15 not necessarily at the end of the decompression bar 13 respectively. 13 * be provided; Rather, it is also possible for him or another traction bar, for example, on one of the runners 6b . 6c or 6b * . 6c * in a central area of the decompression bar 13 . 13 * to arrange. Also, the freewheel areas can be supplemented by additional bearings 8th or to restrain correspondingly shaped sleeves or stops (not shown) by fixing these or detected bearings in the form of sliding bearings with stops at the ends of the desired freewheeling area, so that the bearings arranged therebetween 8th can only move in this area.

Furthermore, in the different areas, such as at the swivel joints 4a . 4b , the linear bearings 3a . 3b . 3c . 21 or on the hangers 8th or other moving parts, such as the runners 6b or 6c , Drive means may be provided approximately in the form of electric motors that perform a continuous or intermittent, cyclic or oscillatory movement and thus cause a positive-guided gymnastic movement of the patient.

It can be seen that the invention provides a comfortable and safe to use exercise device for Storage, diagnostics and therapy as well as for gymnastic and / or exercising body movement creates that as a sling device with a carrying device 1 and at least one decompression bar supported pivotably and / or displaceably thereon 13 . 13 * is formed, on the cross bars 11a ... 11e ; 11a * ... 11e * including warehouses 8th to runners 6a ... 6f . 6a * ... 6f * are arranged displaceably and rotatably. Parallel tubes arranged one above the other 14 . 14 ' stabilize the decompression bar 13 . 13 * and prevent tilting or clamping in the entire displacement range of the cross bars 11a ... 11e ; 11a * ... 11e * , For the storage of body parts or loads are facilities 24 . 25 for hanging slings S, straps and / or ropes 28 present in such an arrangement that horizontally free-running movements are executable. Defined bearing points for the body parts are given or infinitely adjustable. Important is a runner effect and the rotation of transverse bars and / or frame parts. It is thus possible to store a patient as far as possible pain-free and to safely diagnose the (active and / or passive) structures of his musculoskeletal system. A special frame construction 1 . 1* allows the pivoting and / or moving of the decompression bar 13 . 13 * with stable, two-axle pivot bearing. The arrangement of at least one traction rod 15 . 15 * at the end of the or each decompression bar 13 . 13 * allows tensile or compressive forces to be applied as needed while maintaining full mobility of a subject. A novel head suspension creates special movement and treatment options. Physiotherapeutic diagnostics, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation are making considerable progress with the flexibility of the novel device.
