Abstract

Apparatus for attachment to the upper door frame (3), for reclination treatment of patients with cervical (cervical) and thoracic spinal injury (BWS), in which the patient holds with his raised hands on a curved rod (6) and stretches periodically, characterized by the simultaneous fulfillment of conditions a) to i) according to the claim.

Description

The invention relates to an apparatus for recapitulation treatment of the human spinal column of patients with cervical (cervical) and thoracic spinal injuries (BWS), in which the extension is caused by the fact that the patient with the raised hands to the rod of a removable in the Door opening attached device holds vertically and stretches periodically.

State of the art

Spinal diseases are among the widened diseases of civilization. Much of the time people are sitting in the office at the desk, in front of the computer, in front of the typewriter. - Often in a strained attitude. If you have repeated muscle tensions, such as around the neck and shoulders, then they are in the majority of about 80% of adults who have back problems and should do something for their backs. Even simple exercises can help to prevent spinal disorders. The device-based physiotherapy is used for the improvement or normalization of muscle strength, strength endurance, the everyday exercise tolerance, as well as functional movement and activity in daily life. A small daily balance training shows after a short time its effect. But it is important that gymnastic exercises should be regular and dynamic.

There are already many devices for stretching the spine known, for. B. DE 1834125 but all of them are based on a different principle, in that the spine is stretched there by a traction device attached to the head or feet when the body is fixed in the horizontal position. In such an active stretch, a spasm of the back and neck muscles easily occurs, which reduces the effectiveness of the machine.

CH 549 388 comprises a device for treating spine, which consists of a horizontally vertically adjustable in the vertical bed and a suspension to be attached to the hanger, a combination that allows the human body from the relaxed horizontal supine position on steepening slopes in To bring the hanging upside down, so that his vertebrae can be pulled apart by his own body weight. However, this has in certain cases the disadvantage that the load on the upper end of the spine and the associated muscles attacks too much and thereby produces a very painful train that usually involuntarily causes a counter tension in the patient, so that the desired effect is reduced. In addition, the patient fears this pain and therefore evades the treatment.

On the other hand, devices have also already been developed ( DE 7529070 . DE 1817 564 ), in which the patient is hung upside down on an oblique support in the area between the pelvis and the feet. The main pull, which is caused by the heaviness of the upper body, then affects the lower end of the spine, ie the vertebrae, muscles and tendons, which can best tolerate a strong pull. However, such a device has so far the disadvantage that it is constructed relatively complicated and therefore at least not suitable for private consumption.

First, the known devices are technically much too expensive and too expensive. As an example of this is the DE 2 252 095 . DE 7 529070 . CH 465 764 . 2226 073 . DE 8212639 called, which shows the devices with complicated electrical or electronic control for stretching the human spine, wherein the feet and head are each covered by loops, which are guided on slidable slide longitudinally motorized. To operate such a device requires specially trained forces. In addition, the investment costs are very high, so that usually only clinics can afford such devices.

The conventional methods of treatment of the baths, heat, massages, corsets of all kinds and especially drugs cause only a short time a reduction in the pain of the patient, without counteracting the disease itself. Corsets or bandages ( DE 2 000 045 . DE 9320265 . DE 1 084 873 Although they give a certain hold, they can not prevent the spine from evading on the side of least resistance. On the other hand, they weaken the muscles and ultimately lead to an aggravation of the clinical picture

In addition, in the already known stretching apparatus eliminates the therapeutically extremely valuable effect of muscle exercise, especially the spinal and rib cage, and arm, back, chest, lumbar muscle, which is ensured by the device, the subject of the present patent application.

The removable straps mounted in the door opening, which serve to extend spine, are also known, but no device has been described which allows the bar of the straps to be fastened across the door opening to continuously extend the body to the vertical hanging position bring.

task

The invention has for its object to provide a relatively simple device with which these widespread disease symptoms of the spine can be treated so that the consequences of disease, namely backbone curvature, are reduced and at the same time the disease is cured. In addition, however, the device according to the invention should prevent the emergence of the disease in the regular use of humans. Overall, the device according erfindergemäße, without being externally visible to allow home treatment.

This object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.

The new device has the advantage over the previous embodiments that it can be housed almost invisibly in the door opening and left in it for days, and the patient only has to hold on to the pole and stretch to use it. The whole device can be very easy and simple to build, so it can be placed as needed, z. B. in the door opening of the different rooms or the service room. On the other hand, the device can be folded and taken because of its low mass in luggage. A preferred feature of the invention is also that the adjusting device for the device is attached directly to the stop of the door opening without any changes of the latter.

Further, it is useful if the patient's length or health condition requires that the device be parked at a different location along the fence or use a curved rotatable rod.

In the 1a shown device is in working position to the upper frame ( 3 ) arranged at a certain distance from the side frame across the door opening and by means of the U-shaped outer parts ( 1 ) and ( 4 ), Pole ( 6 ), Clamping screw ( 13 ) and ( 16 ) with the mother ( 7 ), Thrust rings ( 5 ) and ( 11 ), Hinges ( 9 ) and ( 14 ) as well as return springs ( 8th ) attached.

The pole ( 6 ) leads you into the holes ( 15 ) until the contact rings ( 5 ) and ( 11 ) in the upper hinge parts ( 9 ) and ( 14 ) into it. The clamping screw ( 13 ) and ( 16 ) is placed in the corresponding Borungen the U-shaped outer parts ( 1 ) and ( 4 ) one. The U-shaped outer part ( 1 ) presses on the frame ( 3 ) until then, that upper part is against the wall ( 2 ). The U-shaped outer part ( 4 ) presses on the frame ( 3 ) until then, that upper part is against the wall ( 2 ). The clamping screw ( 13 ) and ( 16 ) you move with the mother ( 7 ) to. You press the upper hinge parts ( 9 ) and ( 14 ) to the contact rings ( 5 ) and ( 11 ), turn and lift the pole ( 6 ) on top of the stop in the upper part of the frame ( 3 ).

In this way, all parts of the device together with the frame ( 3 ) and wall ( 2 ) a rigid construction, their fixation on the frame ( 3 ) secures. When removing the device, turn the nut ( 7 ) on the clamping screw ( 13 ) and ( 16 ) in the reverse direction so that the rod ( 6 ) moved by its own weight in the vertical direction down and movable upper hinge parts ( 9 ) and ( 14 ) relieved downwards.
