Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reha-Gerät zur Aufrichtung eines Rundrückens und/oder zur Dehnung und Aufrichtung der frontalen Schulterpartie.The invention relates to a rehab device for erecting a circular back and / or for stretching and erection of the frontal shoulder.

Es sind bereits Rücken- und Schulterdehnungsvorrichtungen bekannt geworden, wie beispielsweise aus der DE 298 18 369 A1, die dazu dienen, bei durch Verspannungen verursachten Rückenschmerzen eine Selbstbehandlung durchführen zu können.There are already known back and shoulder stretching devices, such as for example from DE 298 18 369 A1, which serve to be able to perform self-treatment in back pain caused by tension.

Derartige Trainingsgeräte sind allerdings nicht geeignet dann eingesetzt zu werden, wenn ein sogenannter Rundrücken oder vorgefallene Schultern behandelt werden sollen.However, such training devices are not suitable to be used when a so-called round back or hunched shoulders to be treated.

Der Erfindung liegt also die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Reha-Gerät zu schaffen, mittels dessen es möglich ist, eine krankhaft verkrümmte Brustwirbelsäule wieder aufzurichten. Das Gleiche gilt auch dann, wenn vorgefallene Schultern behandelt werden sollen.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a rehab device by means of which it is possible to erect a pathologically curved thoracic spine again. The same is true even if hunched shoulders are to be treated.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß entsprechend den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved according to the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung schlägt nunmehr ein Reha-Gerät vor, welches vergleichsweise einfach ausgebildet ist, und mit welchem der Patient auch alleine Übungen vornehmen kann, um seine gegebenenfalls mehr oder weniger stark gekrümmte Brustwirbelsäule (Rundrücken) und/oder eine vorgefallene Schulter langsam zunehmend mehr aufzurichten.The invention now proposes a rehab device, which is comparatively simple, and with which the patient can also do exercises alone in order to raise his possibly more or less strongly curved thoracic spine (round back) and / or a prolapsed shoulder slowly more and more.

Das erfindungsgemäße Reha-Gerät ist dabei nach Art einer Wippe aufgebaut, welche um ein am Rücken anlegbares Auflager kippbar ist, wobei das Auflager bzw. die dadurch gebildete Kippachse quer zur Körperlängsrichtung liegt. Am oberen Ende des Reha-Gerätes können auf verschiedene Art und Weise Zugelemente so vorgesehen oder ausgebildet sein, dass sie im Einsatz mit einem Gegenauflager auf die obere frontal liegende vorgefallene Schulterpartie drücken. Beispielsweise durch unten liegende Betätigungs- oder Zugelemente kann nunmehr vom Patienten selbst der Druck auf die Schulterpartie so erhöht werden, dass die vorgefallene Schulter gegenüber dem am Rücken aufliegenden Auflager aufgerichtet wird.The rehab device according to the invention is constructed in the manner of a rocker which can be tilted about a support which can be placed on the back, wherein the support or the tilting axis formed thereby lies transversely to the body longitudinal direction. At the upper end of the rehab device, tension elements can be provided or formed in various ways so that they press in use with a counter bearing on the upper frontally lying protruding shoulder. For example, by lying below actuation or tension elements can now be increased by the patient himself the pressure on the shoulder so that the prolapsed shoulder is erected relative to the resting on the back support.

Das Reha-Gerät kann dabei in vielfältiger Form ausgebildet sein.The rehab device can be designed in a variety of forms.

In einer einfachen Ausführungsform können die auf die Schulterpartie einwirkenden Zugelemente aus Schlaufen gebildet sein. Möglich sind aber auch Konstruktionen unter Verwendung von Stangen, Bügeln etc., die beispielsweise oberhalb der Schulter von der Rückseite des Basisabschnittes des Reha-Gerätes nach vorne geführt und an deren Enden dann die erwähnten auf die Schulter einwirkenden Gegenauflager ausgebildet sind.In a simple embodiment, the on the Shoulders acting tensile elements are formed from loops. But are also possible constructions using rods, ironing, etc., for example, above the shoulder of the back of the base portion of the rehab device led forward and at the ends then the mentioned acting on the shoulder Gegenauflager are formed.

Die Bügelkonstruktion kann dabei aus mehreren verstellbaren Einzelbügeln bestehen, um das Auflager in Höhe und Relativlage entsprechend den individuellen Bedürfnissen optimal einstellen zu können.The bracket construction can consist of several adjustable individual brackets to optimally adjust the support in height and relative position according to individual needs can.

Als Betätigungseinrichtung können beispielsweise seitlich am Körper nach vorne vorbeigeführte Betätigungsstangen mit dem das rückwärtige Auflager umfassenden Basisabschnitt des Reha-Gerätes verbunden sein. Durch leichtes Anziehen kann dann der entsprechende Druck auf die vordere vorgefallene Schulterpartie zur Aufrichtung des Rückens entsprechend erhöht und verringert werden. Ebenso können an diesen Betätigungsabschnitten z.B. Seile angelegt werden, die beispielsweise an entsprechenden Haken an einer Wand verankert werden, so dass durch leichtes Rückwärtsgehen die Betätigungselemente automatisch gespannt und dadurch der gewünschte Druck auf den linken und rechten vorgefallenen Schulterbereich sowie auf den Rundrücken erhöht wird.As actuating means, for example, laterally guided on the body forward actuating rods with the rear bearing comprehensive base portion of the rehab device may be connected. By slightly tightening the corresponding pressure on the front protruding shoulder for the erection of the back can then be increased and decreased accordingly. Likewise, at these operating sections, e.g. Ropes are created, which are anchored, for example, on corresponding hooks on a wall, so that automatically tightened by slightly backward the actuators and thereby the desired pressure on the left and right prolapsed shoulder area and on the rounded ridge is increased.

Ein so gebildetes Auflager 3 ist über eine geeignete Tragkonstruktion gehalten und verankert, im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel mittels einer im Inneren oder auf der rückwärtigen hinteren Seite des Auflagers 3 bzw. der Tragplatte 4 befindlichen Verbindungsstrebe 7, die an gegenüberliegenden im wesentlichen in Längsrichtung und parallel zueinander verlaufenden Betätigungsstreben 9 angebracht ist.A support 3 thus formed is held and anchored by a suitable support structure, in the embodiment shown by means of an inside or on the rearward side of the support 3 and the support plate 4 located connecting strut 7, which is mounted on opposite substantially longitudinally and mutually parallel actuating struts 9.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 sind die beiden seitlich versetzt zueinander liegenden Betätigungsstreben 9 gleich ausgebildet und weisen dabei bügelartige, d.h. gebogene Form auf. Die erwähnte Verbindungsstrebe 7 im Auflager 3 ist dabei über einen geeigneten lös- und fixierbaren Verstellmechanismus 11 in unterschiedlicher Lage längs der Betätigungsstreben 9 fixierbar, um je nach Bedarf eine individuelle Anpassung vornehmen zu können.In the illustrated embodiment of Figure 1, the two laterally offset from each other actuating struts 9 are the same design and have bow-like, i. curved shape. The mentioned connecting strut 7 in the support 3 is fixed via a suitable releasable and fixable adjusting mechanism 11 in different positions along the actuating struts 9 to make an individual adjustment as needed.

Dazu können in den längs verlaufenden Bögen oder Betätigungsstreben 9 und/oder in der erwähnten Querstrebe 7 beispielsweise Bohrungen 10 eingebracht sein, durch die hindurch schraubenförmige Fixiermittel hindurchgesteckt und befestigt werden können. Dadurch kann die Relativlage der Querstreben 7 an unterschiedlicher Stelle in Längsrichtung der Betätigungsstreben 9 und/oder der Breitenabstand zwischen den beiden seitlichen Betätigungsstreben 9 unterschiedlich eingestellt werden, indem immer die entsprechenden Bohrungen 10 in der Querstrebe bzw. die Bohrungen 10' in den Längsstreben in gewünschter Relativlage in entsprechender Ausrichtung gebracht und die vorzugsweise aus Schraubbolzen bestehende Fixiereinrichtung hindurchgesteckt und von der rückwärtigen Seite her durch Muttern gesichert werden.For this purpose, for example, bores 10 can be introduced into the longitudinally extending arches or actuating struts 9 and / or in the mentioned transverse strut 7, through which screw-shaped fixing means can be inserted and fastened. As a result, the relative position of the transverse struts 7 at different locations in the longitudinal direction of the actuating struts 9 and / or the width spacing between the two lateral actuating struts 9 can be set differently by always the corresponding holes 10 in the crossbar or the holes 10 'in the longitudinal struts in the desired Relative position brought in a corresponding orientation and the preferably consisting of bolts fixing device inserted and secured from the rear side by nuts.

Aus Figur 1 ist auch ersichtlich, dass die Betätigungsstreben 9 sich in einen engeren obenliegenden Bogenabschnitt 12 und einen größeren untenliegenden Bogenabschnitt 14 gliedern. Die Betätigungsstreben 9 verlaufen dabei im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel an ihrem obenliegenden Ende bogenförmig nach vorne. Dort sind Gegenauflager 13 ausgebildet oder vorgesehen, die im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel aus einer Druck- oder Trageplatte 15 bestehen können, an denen in der gepolsterten Auflagefläche 3' des Auflagers 3 gegenüberliegend entsprechende Polsterelemente 17 sitzen.It can also be seen from FIG. 1 that the actuating struts 9 are subdivided into a narrower overhead arc section 12 and a larger underlying arc section 14. The actuating struts 9 extend in the illustrated embodiment at its upper end arcuately forward. There Gegenauflager 13 are formed or provided, which may consist of a pressure or support plate 15 in the embodiment shown, in which in the padded support surface 3 'of the support 3 opposite corresponding cushion elements 17 sit.

Die Gegenauflager 13 sind ebenfalls durch geeignete Verstell- und Fixiereinrichtungen 19 in unterschiedlicher Relativlage bezogen zu den Betätigungsstreben 9 verstellbar, um auch hier eine individuelle Anpassung zu ermöglichen.The counter bearing 13 are also adjusted by suitable adjustment and fixing 19 in different relative position relative to the actuating struts 9, to allow an individual adaptation here.

Um die beiden Betätigungsstreben 9 sicher zu halten, kann neben der erwähnten Verbindungsstrebe 7 eine oder mehrere weitere Verbindungsstreben an geeigneten Stellen vorgesehen sein, im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 beispielsweise im vorderen Endbereich der bogenförmig auslaufenden Betätigungsstreben 9, und zwar hier beispielsweise wiederum in Höhe der Gegenauflager 13. Dies eröffnet die Möglichkeit, dass die Gegenauflager 13 beispielsweise nicht zwingend an den Betätigungsstreben 9 direkt, sondern z. B. an einer daran befestigten Anbaustrebe 21 mittels der erwähnten Verstell- und Fixiereinrichtung 19 angebracht sind, so dass die Gegenauflager 13 über ihre Verstell- und Fixiereinrichtung 19 in unterschiedlichem Seitenabstand voneinander angebracht und an der Verbindungsstrebe 21 fixiert und beispielsweise die Verbindungsstrebe 21 wiederum durch einen weiteren Verstell- und Fixiermechanismus in unterschiedlicher Längslage an den Betätigungsstreben 9 angebracht werden können. Die erwähnte Fixiereinrichtung besteht hier ebenfalls, wie beispielsweise die Befestigungseinrichtung der Querstrebe 7 an den seitlichen bogenförmigen Längsstreben 9, aus einer Vielzahl von Bohrungen 20 in den beiden Längsstreben sowie Bohrungen 20', die im Seitenabstand zueinander in der Verbindungsstrebe 21 angebracht sind. Auch dadurch lässt sich wieder der Seitenabstand zwischen den beiden Betätigungsstreben 9 zum einen und die Relativlage der Verbindungsstrebe 21 in unterschiedlicher Längsrichtung bezogen auf die seitlichen Betätigungsstreben 9 darüber hinaus ebenfalls die erwähnten Schulterpolster 13 in unterschiedlicher Relativlage einstellen und fixieren.In order to keep the two actuating struts 9 securely, in addition to the mentioned connecting strut 7, one or more further connecting struts may be provided at suitable locations, for example in the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1 in the front end region of the arcuate expiring actuating struts 9, here again, for example Gegenauflager 13. This opens up the possibility that the Gegenauflager 13, for example, not necessarily on the actuating struts 9 directly, but z. B. attached to an attached attachment strut 21 by means of said adjusting and fixing device 19, so that the Gegenauflager 13 via their adjusting and fixing device 19 in different Side clearance mounted and fixed to the connecting strut 21 and, for example, the connecting strut 21 in turn can be attached by a further adjustment and fixing in different longitudinal position on the actuating struts 9. The aforementioned fixing device is also here, such as the attachment means of the transverse strut 7 on the lateral arcuate longitudinal struts 9, from a plurality of holes 20 in the two longitudinal struts and holes 20 ', which are mounted at a side distance from each other in the connecting strut 21. Also, this allows again the lateral distance between the two actuating struts 9 on the one hand and the relative position of the connecting strut 21 in different longitudinal direction relative to the lateral actuating struts 9 beyond also adjust the aforementioned shoulder pads 13 in different relative position and fix.

Figur 2 zeigt das angelegte Reha-Gerät. Daraus ist ersichtlich, dass das gepolstere Auflager 3 am Rücken 25 eines Patienten zur Anlage gebracht wird und dort eine quer zur Körperlängsrichtung, also in der Regel in Standposition in Horizontalrichtung verlaufende Drehachse (Scharnier) den Drehpunkt bildet, wobei die beiden nach oben verlaufenden bogenförmigen Abschnitt der Betätigungsstreben 9 über die Schultern hinweg nach vorne verlaufen, so dass die erwähnten Gegenauflager 13 jeweils links und rechts an dem vorderen Schulterbereich aufliegen. Durch Ergreifen der unteren über das Auflager 3 nach unten und vorne überstehenden Auslöseabschnitte 27 kann nunmehr das Reha-Gerät um seine horizontale durch das Auflager 3 gebildete Verschwenkachse 29 so verkippt werden, dass der oberhalb des Auflagers 3 gebildete Funktionsteil 31 die zugehörigen Gegenauflager 13 entsprechend der Pfeildarstellung 33 in Richtung Rücken verschwenkt. Ebenso können beispielsweise auch Zugseile 35 an den Auslöseabschnitten 27 angebracht (beispielsweise an Ösen 28, die am Ende der Betätigungsstreben 9 ausgebildet sind) und mit ihrem anderen Ende beispielsweise an Haken 37 an einer feststehenden Wand 38 oder dgl. verankert werden, so dass durch leichtes Zurücktreten der betreffenden Person und die dadurch bewirkte Verschwenkbewegung der Auslöseabschnitte 27 nach vorne und/oder oben die entsprechende Kippbewegung und damit der Druck der Gegenauflager 13 auf den frontalen Schulterbereich und den Rundrücken in der gewünschten Weise ausgeübt wird.FIG. 2 shows the applied rehab device. It can be seen that the padded support 3 is brought to the back 25 of a patient for conditioning and there is a transverse to the body longitudinal direction, ie usually in the standing position in the horizontal direction of rotation axis (hinge) forms the fulcrum, the two upwardly extending arcuate portion the actuating struts 9 extend over the shoulders forward, so that the mentioned Gegenauflager 13 each rest on the left and right at the front shoulder area. By grasping the lower over the support 3 down and forward projecting release sections 27 can now the Rehab device be tilted about its horizontal axis formed by the support 3 pivot axis 29 so that the functional part 31 formed above the support 3 pivots the associated Gegenauflager 13 according to the arrow 33 in the direction of the back. Likewise, for example, pull ropes 35 attached to the trigger sections 27 (for example, to eyelets 28 which are formed at the end of the actuating struts 9) and anchored at its other end, for example, hook 37 on a fixed wall 38 or the like., So that by light Withdrawal of the person concerned and the resulting pivoting movement of the trigger sections 27 forward and / or upward the corresponding tilting movement and thus the pressure of the Gegenauflager 13 is exercised on the frontal shoulder area and the rounded back in the desired manner.

Durch diesen Vorgang werden also die Polsterelemente 17 gegen die frontale rechte und linke Schulterpartie gedrückt und dehnen den vorderen Brustkorb und richten die seitliche (also linke und rechte) frontale Schulterparie und gleichzeitig auch den Rundrücken auf.By this process, therefore, the padding elements 17 are pressed against the front right and left shoulder and stretch the front rib cage and set up the lateral (ie left and right) frontal Schulterparie and at the same time on the round back.

Anhand von Figur 3 ist eine Abwandlung eines Reha-Gerätes gezeigt.A modification of a rehab device is shown with reference to FIG.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 3 ist verdeutlicht, dass die beiden seitlich versetzt liegenden Betätigungsstreben 9 nicht zwingend bogenförmig, sondern beispielsweise auch nur mit einem oder mehreren engen Bogenabschnitten oder Knickstellen ausgebildet sein können. In diesem Falle kann das oberhalb des Auflagers 3 befindliche Funktionsteil 31 keine bogenförmig, sondern gerade auslaufenden Endabschnitte der Betätigungsstreben 9 aufweisen. Die Betätigungsstreben 9 im Rückenbereich können also senkrecht und gerade gestaltet sein. Zur weiteren Stabilisierung sind hier z.B. zwei oberhalb des Auflagers 3 angeordnete, in Vertikalrichtung versetzt liegende und quer verlaufende Verbindungsstreben 21 vorgesehen, die ebenfalls wieder in ihrer Höhenlage durch geeignete Verstell- oder Fixiereinrichtungen 23 in unterschiedlicher Relativlage (also in Längsrichtung der Betätigungsstreben 9 und/oder mit unterschiedlichem Seitenversatz der beiden Betätigungsstreben) befestigbar sind. Diese Befestigungs- oder Fixiereinrichtungen 23 können ebenfalls wieder aus einer Vielzahl entsprechend versetzt liegender Bohrungen bestehen, durch die entsprechende Schraub- und Fixiermittel hindurchgesteckt sind, wie dies anhand der Befestigung der Querstrebe 7 unter Bezugnahme auf Figur 1 erläutert wurde.In the embodiment according to FIG. 3, it is illustrated that the two actuating struts 9 offset laterally do not necessarily have an arcuate shape but, for example, only one or more narrow ones Bow sections or kinks can be formed. In this case, the functional part 31 located above the support 3 may not have arcuate but straight end portions of the actuation struts 9. The actuating struts 9 in the back area can therefore be designed vertically and straight. To further stabilize here, for example, two arranged above the support 3, offset in the vertical direction and transverse connecting struts 21 are provided, which also again in their altitude by suitable adjustment or fixing 23 in different relative position (ie in the longitudinal direction of the actuating struts 9 and / or with different lateral offset of the two actuating struts) can be fastened. These fastening or fixing devices 23 may also consist of a plurality of correspondingly offset holes through which appropriate screw and fixing means are inserted, as explained with reference to the attachment of the transverse strut 7 with reference to Figure 1.

Als Gegenauflager 13 dienen in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel Schultergurte, die nach Art von Schlaufen, Riemen etc. gebildet sein können. Ein derartiges, beispielsweise aus Textilien oder Ledermaterial gebildetes schlaufenförmiges Gegenauflager 13 muss von daher mit keinen weiteren Polsterelementen 17 versehen sein. Gleichwohl können aber insbesondere im Innenbereich der Schlaufe natürlich weitere Polsterungen vorgesehen sein. Im angelegten Zustand werden also die Arme durch diese Schlaufen hindurchgeführt, wobei durch entsprechende Höheneinstellung der beiden quer verlaufenden Verbindungsstreben 21 und den daran befestigten Endabschnitten 39 der Schlaufen die Lage der Schlaufen nicht nur im seitlichen Abstand zueinander (durch Verstellung ihrer Fixierelemente an den Verbindungsstreben 21), sondern auch in der gewünschten Höhenlage bezogen zu dem Auflager 3 durch unterschiedliche Höhenverstellung und Fixierung der Verbindungsstreben 21 optimal eingestellt werden kann.As a counter support 13 serve in this embodiment shoulder straps, which may be formed in the manner of loops, straps, etc. Such, for example, made of textiles or leather material loop-shaped counter bearing 13 must therefore be provided with no further padding elements 17. However, of course, further upholstery may be provided especially in the interior of the loop. In the applied state, therefore, the arms are passed through these loops, wherein by adjusting the height of the two transverse connecting struts 21 and the attached end portions 39 of the loops, the position of the loops not only in the lateral distance from each other (by adjusting their fixing on the connecting struts 21), but also in the desired altitude relative to the support. 3 can be optimally adjusted by different height adjustment and fixation of the connecting struts 21.

Durch entsprechende Einwirkung auf die Auslöseabschnitte 27 durch Ergreifen oder Verschwenken oder durch die erwähnte Verwendung beispielsweise von Auslöseseilen 35 wird wiederum die gewünschte Wipp- und Verschwenkbewegung unter Erzeugung des gewünschten, die Schulterpartie und den Rundrücken aufrichtenden Druckes erzeugt, wobei das Auflager 3 unter Bildung der Verschwenkachse 29 an dem zu behandelnden Rundrücken 30 anliegt.By appropriate action on the trigger sections 27 by gripping or pivoting or by the mentioned use of tripping cables 35, in turn, the desired rocking and pivoting is generated generating the desired, the shoulder and the ridge rectifying pressure, wherein the support 3 to form the pivot axis 29 abuts the round back 30 to be treated.

Aus den Figuren 3 und 4 sind noch weitere zusätzliche Besonderheiten zu entnehmen, auf die nachfolgend kurz eingegangen wird.From Figures 3 and 4, additional additional features can be seen, which will be briefly discussed below.

In Figuren 3 und 4 ist ferner mit Bezugszeichen 52 eine halbrunde Rückseite des Auflagers 3 wiedergegeben, wodurch ermöglicht wird, dass dieses Auflager ohne das gezeigte Gestell auch bei Bodenübungen verwendet werden kann, so dass das Auflager 3 als Kippelement für eine liegende Behandlung auf dem Boden oder sogar auf einer separaten Liege dienen kann.In FIGS. 3 and 4, reference numeral 52 also represents a semicircular rear side of the support 3, which allows this support to be used without the frame shown also in ground exercises, so that the support 3 acts as a tilting element for a horizontal treatment on the floor or even serve on a separate lounger.

Ferner ist mit Bezugszeichen 53 ein Spanngurt zwischen den Gegenauflagern 13 und dem Einstellbügel 45, mit Bezugszeichen 54 eine verlängerte Strebe 9, mit Bezugszeichen 55 eine Querstrebe zur Stabilisierung der verlängerten Strebe 54 und mit Bezugszeichen 62 eine verstellbare Verbindungsstelle gekennzeichnet, die zwischen den am Rücken hochlaufenden, seitlich versetzten Streben und den daran in Verlängerung anbaubaren verlängerten Streben 9 angreift, um diese in unterschiedlicher Längserstreckung fixieren zu können.Further, by reference numeral 53, a tension belt between the Gegenauflagern 13 and the Einstellbügel 45, with reference numeral 54 is an extended strut 9, reference numeral 55 a cross strut for stabilizing the extended strut 54 and reference numeral 62 an adjustable connection point, which runs between the back-running , laterally offset struts and the extension struts it grows elongated struts 9 acts in order to fix them in different longitudinal extent can.

Die verlängerten Streben 54, gegebenenfalls mit oder ohne die Querstrebe 55, können auch dazu verwendet werden, beispielsweise langsam auf eine Tür bis etwa in den Türrahmen hineingehend vorwärtszuschreiten, bis die verlängerten Streben an einem oberen Türsturz anschlagen. Durch leichtes Vorwärtsgehen oder Wippen werden dadurch ebenfalls die entsprechenden Kräfte auf die vordere Schulterpartie und den Rundrücken eingeleitet, um diese aufzurichten.The elongate struts 54, optionally with or without the crossbar 55, may also be used, for example, to slowly advance on a door as far as into the door frame until the extended struts strike an upper lintel. By slightly moving forward or rocking the corresponding forces are thus also introduced to the front shoulder and the round back to erect them.

Bereits an dieser Stelle wird nur der Vollständigkeit halber erwähnt, dass die erwähnten Verbindungsstellen zwischen den vertikalen und horizontalen Stützstreben an geeigneter Stelle beispielsweise auch verstellbare Verbindungsstellen aufweisen können, um eine schnellere Anpassung und Feinjustierung je nach den persönlichen Bedürfnissen im Hinblick auf die Breitenverstellung bzw. Höhenlagenjustierung der einzelnen Längs- und Querstreben vornehmen zu können.Already at this point, it is only mentioned for the sake of completeness that the mentioned connection points between the vertical and horizontal struts may have, for example, adjustable joints at a suitable location, for a faster adjustment and fine adjustment depending on the personal needs in terms of width adjustment or height adjustment to make the individual longitudinal and transverse struts.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Figuren 5 und 6 entspricht von seinem Grundaufbau her jenem nach den Figuren 3 und 4. Diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist anstelle der in Figur 5 noch strichliert eingezeichneten schlaufenförmigen Gegenauflager das Gegenauflager durch zusätzlich einsteckbare bzw. verbindbare Ergänzungsbügel realisiert. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die geradeaus laufenden Betätigungsstreben 9 an ihrem oberen Ende mit einem entsprechenden Steckansatz 41 versehen, in welchen das Einsteckende 42 von in großem Bogen über die Schultern hinweg nach vorne verlaufenden Anbaustreben 43 eingesteckt gezeigt ist, an deren vorderen, wiederum nach unten verlaufenden Enden in unterschiedlicher Höhenlage ein in Draufsicht U-förmige Einstellbügel 45 verankert ist. Dieser Einstellbügel 45 kann ferner entsprechend der Pfeildarstellung 47 in unterschiedlicher Relativlage so verankert werden, dass die an dessen Ende sitzenden Gegenauflager 13 mit einer in der Regel dort gebrachten Druck-Trageplatte 15 und Polsterelementen 17 in unterschiedlicher Relativlage mehr oder weniger weit in Richtung des rückwärtigen Auflagers 3 einstellbar sind. Diese Konstruktion eröffnet die Möglichkeit, dass ein Patient dieses Gerät leichter anlegen kann, da durch den Abstand zwischen den Anbaustreben 43 und der Einstellstrebe 45 genügend Freiraum belassen wird, um das so gebildete Reha-Gerät über den Kopf hinweg anzulegen.The exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6 corresponds to that of FIGS. 3 and 4 from its basic construction. In this embodiment, instead of the loop-shaped counter bearing shown in broken lines in FIG. 5, the counter support is realized by additional plug-in or connectable supplementary straps. In this embodiment, the straight running operating struts 9 are provided at their upper end with a corresponding insertion lug 41, in which the insertion end 42 is shown inserted from a large arc over the shoulders forward extending attachment struts 43, at the front, in turn downwards Ends at different altitudes in a plan view U-shaped adjustment bracket 45 is anchored. This adjustment bracket 45 can further be anchored according to the arrow 47 in different relative position so that the seated at the end Gegenauflager 13 with a pressure usually placed there support plate 15 and cushion elements 17 in different relative position more or less far in the direction of the rear support 3 are adjustable. This construction opens up the possibility that a patient can put this device easier, since the distance between the attachment struts 43 and the adjusting strut 45 leaves enough free space to place the rehabilitation device thus formed over the head.

Auch der Querabstand zwischen den beiden Anbaustreben 43 kann beispielsweise durch Verschwenken um ihre Einsteckachsen 41 geändert werden. Um hier auch eine Anpassung bezüglich der Einstellstrebe 45 zu ermöglichen, ist die Einstellstrebe 45 zweigeteilt und umfasst zwei Bügelhälften 45' und 45", die an ihrem Basisabschnitt 45a mit einem teleskopartig ineinander ein- und ausschiebbaren Anpassabschnitt 45b versehen ist.Also, the transverse distance between the two attachment struts 43 can be changed, for example by pivoting about their Einsteckachsen 41. Here too an adaptation with respect to the adjusting strut 45, the adjusting strut 45 is divided in two and comprises two bracket halves 45 'and 45 ", which is provided at its base portion 45a with a telescoping and extendable fitting portion 45b.

Ansonsten sind auch wieder die Einstellstrebe 45 und/oder die Anbaustrebe 43 im Bereich ihrer Kreuzungsstellen 50 mit einer Vielzahl von jeweils in Längsrichtung versetzt liegenden Bohrungen 51 versehen, die es ermöglichen, den Einstellbügel 45 in unterschiedlicher Höhenlage an den Anbaustreben 43 und auch in unterschiedlicher Relativlage bezogen auf die Pfeildarstellung 47 den individuellen Erfordernissen und Wünschen aneinander zu befestigen, beispielsweise ebenfalls durch die erwähnten Verstell- und Fixiereinrichtungen, z.B. bestehend aus Schraubbolzen und Muttern.Otherwise, again the adjusting strut 45 and / or the attachment strut 43 are provided in the region of their intersections 50 with a plurality of longitudinally offset holes 51, which allow the adjustment bracket 45 at different altitudes to the attachment struts 43 and in different relative position based on the arrow 47 to attach the individual requirements and wishes to each other, for example, also by the mentioned adjusting and fixing, eg consisting of bolts and nuts.

Figur 6 zeigt dabei wiederum, dass ansonsten der weitere Aufbau und die Funktionsweise vergleichbar den vorausgegangenen Ausführungsbeispielen ist.FIG. 6 again shows that otherwise the further construction and the mode of operation are comparable to the preceding exemplary embodiments.

Dass die vertikale Erweiterung unter den Längsstreben 54 und Verbindungsstreben 55 nur wahlweise vorgesehen sein kann, also nicht vorgesehen sein muss und ergänzend in die anderen Streben eingesteckt oder wieder entfernt werden kann, ist beispielsweise anhand von Figur 6 gezeigt, bei der in Abweichung zu Figur 5 die vertikalen Verlängerungsstreben 54 mit der Verbindungsstrebe 55 nicht dargestellt ist.That the vertical extension of the longitudinal struts 54 and connecting struts 55 can only be optionally provided, so must not be provided and can be plugged into the other struts or removed again, for example, with reference to Figure 6, in which, in deviation from Figure 5 the vertical extension struts 54 with the connecting strut 55 is not shown.

Nur der Vollständigkeit halber wird noch erwähnt, dass der Funktionsteil 31 mit den entsprechenden Abschnitten der Betätigungsstreben 9 oder der eventuell vorgesehenen Anbaustreben 43 oder einer oder mehreren Einstellstreben 45 auch so gestaltet sein kann, dass diese Streben von dem hinteren Basisabschnitt 1 ausgehend nicht über den oberen Schulterbereich, sondern seitlich außen um den Schulter- und Armbereich herum oder sogar unter der Achsel hindurch verlaufen kann, wobei am jeweiligen frontalen Schulterbereich ein entsprechendes Gegenauflager ausgebildet und/oder in verschiedenen Verstellpositionen fixierbar ist.It is only mentioned for the sake of completeness that the functional part 31 with the corresponding sections of the actuation struts 9 or the possibly provided attachment struts 43 or one or more adjustment struts 45 can also be designed such that these struts do not extend beyond the upper one from the rear base section 1 Shoulder region, but laterally outside around the shoulder and arm area around or even under the armpit can pass through, wherein formed on the respective frontal shoulder region a corresponding counter bearing and / or can be fixed in different adjustment positions.

In den Figuren 2 und 4 ist gezeigt, dass am unteren Ende der Betätigungsstreben 9 Seile 35 beispielsweise an einer feststehenden Wand oder einem feststehenden Möbel befestigt werden können, um durch Vorwärts- und Rückwärtsbewegung die entsprechenden Kräften auf den Schulterbereich und Rundrücken einzuleiten. Natürlich können auch entsprechende Seile auch oberhalb des wippenförmigen Auflagers 3 am sog. Funktionsteil angebracht werden und deren freie Enden ebenfalls wieder an einer Wand oder einem Schrank befestigt werden. In diesem Falle muss der Patient nur vorwärts gehen, um die rückwärts gerichteten Kräfte auf die Schulterbereiche zur Aufrichtung des Rundrückens einzuleiten. In diesem Fall sind also die Auslöseabschnitte 27 oberhalb des die Verschwenkachse 29 bildenden Auflagers 3 angeordnet.In the figures 2 and 4 it is shown that at the lower end of the actuating struts 9 ropes 35 can be attached, for example, to a fixed wall or a fixed furniture, to initiate by forward and backward movement of the corresponding forces on the shoulder area and ridge. Of course, corresponding ropes can also be mounted above the rocker-shaped support 3 on the so-called. Functional part and the free ends are also attached to a wall or a cabinet again. In this case, the patient only has to go forward to apply the backward forces to the shoulder areas for the erection of the cervical spine. In this case, therefore, the trigger sections 27 above the pivot axis 29 forming support 3 are arranged.
