Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for the rehabilitation of the spine, with a frame and a lying surface for supporting the body.
- the aim of the invention is to create a device which enables an effective rehabilitation of the spine, in particular in the case of damage to the intervertebral discs.
- a device of the type mentioned in the introduction which is characterized according to the invention by a gripping device for gripping the pelvis, which is mounted on the frame via an eccentric, the eccentric axes running transversely to the lying surface and the eccentric from a slowly rotating one Engine is driven.
- the invention thus creates a completely new type of rehabilitation device which carries out a slow and active movement of the pelvis in a circular movement which runs in a vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body.
- the invention brings about a continuous movement of the spine, in particular in the area of the sacrum, the lumbar vertebrae and the lower thoracic vertebrae 5 to 12. The intervertebral discs are loosened, relieved and relaxed.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the eccentric is driven at 0.5-3 rpm. ben is. In this area, good rehabilitation and pleasant use of the device are guaranteed.
- the eccentric is vorzugt particularly ⁇ be driven at about 2 U / mm. In practice, this value has proven to be particularly pleasant and beneficial.
- the eccentricity of the eccentric is adjustable in the range of 5-15 cm.
- the movement stroke of the device can be adapted to the body size of the user and the personal feeling.
- An optimum of the rehabilitation effect was found in this area.
- Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the gripping device at least m in the lowest position in the course of its movement brings the pelvis to rest on the lying surface. As a result, the spine is periodically lowered to a relaxed lying position. If the gripping device not only brings the pelvis to rest on the lying surface at the lowest point but also over a larger section of its movement, a pause in movement is also periodically generated.
- the gripping device is a belt loop which sags down and which is suspended from a belt suspension which is rotatably mounted on the rotating end of the eccentric. This represents a particularly simple and effective form of the gripping device.
- an eccentric is arranged on both sides of the bed j e and the gripping device is a belt loop that sags downward, the ends of which are each rotatably supported at the rotating ends of the eccentrics.
- the length of the belt loop is adjustable so that the above described rest point or rest area of the movement can be varied.
- a particularly simple embodiment of the device in terms of production technology consists in that the eccentric is formed from a crank which is driven by a motor mounted on the frame via a reduction gear.
- Fig. 1 shows the device according to the invention in a side view
- Fig. 2 in a front view
- Fig. 3 in a plan view
- Fig. 4 is a sectional view according to arrows A-A of Fig. 3rd
- the device for the rehabilitation of the spine comprises a lying surface 1 for supporting the body in a lying position, the user (not shown) lying face down (ie, face down) on the lying surface 1.
- the lying surface 1 is provided with an elastic pad 2, for example an exercise mat.
- the lying area 1 is spanned transversely in its central region by a frame 3.
- the frame 3 could also be arranged only on one side of the lying surface 1, or could consist of two individual, separate frame parts arranged on both sides of the lying surface 2 (not shown).
- the frame 3 carries an electric motor 4, which slowly drives two eccentrics 6 via a reduction gear 5.
- the eccentrics 6 are arranged above the lying surface 2 on both sides thereof so that their two eccentric axes 7, 8 run transversely to the lying surface 2, ie essentially horizontally and perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of a patient lying on the lying surface 2 (not shown).
- the ends of a belt loop 9 which is sagging downward are rotatably supported.
- the rotatable mounting is achieved in the case shown with the aid of two rigid extension pieces 10 of the belt ends, which are rotatably mounted on the axes of rotation 7 of the eccentric 6.
- the length of the belt loop 9 can be adjusted with the help of an integrated (not shown) double ring.
- the length of the belt loop 9 can be adjusted so that it comes to rest on the lying surface 1 in the lowest position 12, which it reaches in the course of its movement 11.
- the belt loop 9 could also be longer, so that it temporarily remains or slides over a lower area of its movement 11 on the lying surface 1.
- the drive speed of the eccentric 6 and thus of the belt loop 9 is preferably 0.5-3 rpm, particularly preferably 2 rpm.
- the stroke of the belt loop 9, ie the diameter of its circular movement 11, can be changed by changing the eccentricity of the eccentric 6.
- "Eccentricity" here means the distance between the axes of rotation 7 and 8.
- the eccentrics 6 in the example shown are each formed from a crank, the middle part of which has the shape of a flat iron with a plurality of openings (not shown), which can be selected as bearing openings and thus axes of rotation 7, 8.
- a continuously length-adjustable crank arm eccentric 6 would be possible.
- the eccentricity of the eccentrics 6 can preferably be set in the range of 5-15 cm, particularly preferably in the range of
- 7.5 - 12.5 cm Most preferably it is in the range of about 11 cm so that the diameter of the circular motion 11 is about 22 cm.
- the reduction gear 5 is formed in the case shown by two belt or chain reductions, etc. a belt 14 from the output shaft 15 of the motor 4 to a pulley 16 and two chains 17 which run from the shaft 18 of the pulley 16 to two sprockets 19 which drive the eccentric 6. It is understood that any other form of reduction gear can be used.
- eccentrics 6 are arranged on both sides of the device.
- an eccentric on one side which has a corresponding belt suspension, e.g. in the form of a horizontal beam, drives (not shown).
- any other form of gripping device could also be used, for example a support board or two gripping shells, which grip and clamp the patient's pelvis from both sides.
- the motor 4 can be equipped with a corresponding speed regulation in order to enable a continuous change in the number of revolutions.
- the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, but encompasses all modifications and variants which will be familiar to the person skilled in the art and fall within the scope of the attached claims.
