Description

Back muscle training device through vibration transmission to sedentary test object

[Background of invention]

The present invention relates to a device for vibrating the spinal muscles without excessive local exercise. Various types of spinal muscle training devices are known.

On the one hand, they are instruments that can strengthen muscle strength by performing somewhat fixed movements against adjustable resistance means. On the other hand, instruments are known that are characterized by an unstable base that allows the specimen to anneal its cracks (Pezzy ball).

The complex link between training of specific parts of the back muscles and the adjustment of affected tissues, muscles, intervertebral discs, tendons and ligaments, and the improvement of metabolic status is described, for example, in "Neue Aspekte zur Behandlung des Morbus Scheuermann mit Hippotherapie" [ New Aspects of Treatment of Scheuermann's Disease by Hippotherapy] A. Gottwald et al., Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie [Journal of Orthopaedics] 119, (1981), 351 et al., And the book "Reiten aus der Korpermitte. Pferd und Reiter im Gleichgewicht" [Riding from the Center of the Body. Horse and Rider in Equilibrium], S. Swift, 1995 Zurich, Stuttgart and Raschlikon Verlag, Vienna, etc., are employed in the so-called riding therapy.

These forms of treatment utilize the transmission of complex motor shocks that are transmitted from horses to horses when riding at breaking speed. The starting point is the physiological back posture of a properly seated equestrian.

This corresponds to the spine posture required in the spine. Thus the patient sits in the saddle with physiological, muscle-stabilized lumbar lordosis. When sitting, the main point of the load is the sciatic bone. When riding at walking speed, the horse's three-dimensional vibration rhythm is transmitted to the patient.

The first component of the movement is the pelvic movement in the forward direction induced by the gait of the horse which tilts and uprights the pelvis. The lower lumbar spine is forced in this way to continually change the adopted spinal cord.

The second component of the movement is some transverse curvature as it walks, which affects each sciatic fracture when the lumbar spine is at its maximum point of curvature.

The third component of the movement is the vertical movement of the upper body along a vertical line tilted slightly forward.

In relation to the three components of motion, the person sitting correctly on the saddle performs one component of motion (tilting the pelvis around the horizontal axis) and three components (up and down movement along a slightly forward tilted vertical axis), Stabilize and check the kinetic two components (transverse curvature of the pelvis) by standing and flat reactions.

This is a stabilization reaction used to train single-segment rotators that lie deeply similar to systemic tension after BRUNKOW without making a firm isometric tension when riding at walking speed.

There is no maximal excursion as in "lift-free mobilization" by the KLEIN-VOGELBACH method, it only has a decisive effect on the damaged function recovery in the transverse flexion of the lower spine.

EP 0 612 542 Al describes a panel with seats mounted on three verticals and held movably with a plurality of bearings and hinges.

Using a motor with different crank discs and drive discs, one or more legs move periodically in the direction desired around three axes. However, because the dimensions are fixed, the movement cannot be controlled individually.

DE 39 41 498 A1 discloses a horse riding simulator in the form of a simulated horse, in which the leg of the horse is driven by the main motor and the phase adjustment mechanism can achieve a difference in movement (movement). However, this also cannot start each moving component individually.

An object of the present invention is superior to these devices in that the frequency and amplitude of various motor components can be freely controlled, while the multiple dimensional transmission of vibrational shocks produces a complex training effect similar to that caused by various types of horse riding therapy. To provide.

According to the present invention, the above object is directed to an apparatus of the present invention having drive means which can be moved in multiple dimensions around at least one pivot point, and which is used to provide a multi-dimensional movement impact to the seat carrier. Can be achieved.

By selectively burning the sciatic of the person sitting on the seat mechanism, these movements initiate and add transverse flexion of the spine, resulting in a change in the pelvic inclination resulting in improved stability and function of the vertebral muscle.

Possible rotations affect rotation along the longitudinal axis of the spine.

By parabolic motion, the body of the fish spot is accelerated below the center of gravity.

If the spatial location of the pivot point for movement shocks in different directions is not the same, it was judged to be beneficial.

The drive means can achieve optimal application to others if the seat carrier is designed to perform a kinetic shock whose frequency and amplitude are adjustable.

If the seat carrier remains inclined transversely around its longitudinal axis, the transverse flexion of the spine is initiated by changing the left / right load of the pelvic bone of the sitting person.

This movement additionally results in a change in the pelvic tilt of the person sitting on the seating device if the seat carrier is kept inclined forward.

If the seat carrier can be pivoted about the pivot point forward and upward along the circular passage, controllable rocking movements in the longitudinal direction can be achieved, in which case the seat carrier remains horizontal.

Rotational shock on the pelvis and spine can be obtained if the seat carrier rotates about its vertical axis. It has proved to be convenient that the device has a saddle-shaped seat device, which makes it possible to carry out tilt movements with adjustable frequency and amplitude about its longitudinal axis, thus enabling additional leg development to occur. .

Rotation about the vertical axis of the seat carrier having a vertical portion supported by the base and the seat carrier can be performed when the drive means rotates the vertical part around its vertical axis.

If the device is designed like an office chair, it can be used every day by providing a driving means on its seat surface.

If the device has a base on which a vertical portion having a U-shaped fork is fixed, and a vertically curved shaft is rotatably mounted between both ends of the fork, the intermediate support portion is rotatably fixed on an angled shaft portion. It has been found to be beneficial if and if the seat carriers are mounted so that they can be arranged and rotated in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate support.

According to the present invention, the apparatus may have a saddle-shaped sheet apparatus as a sheet carrier. This sheet apparatus can perform tilt movements with adjustable frequency and amplitude about its longitudinal axis (X-axis).

The seat device can also perform tilt movement about its horizontal axis (Y-axis), and the deflection of these movements can also be adjusted for their frequency and amplitude.

In addition, the seat device performs a vibrating movement in the longitudinal direction, this movement is also possible to adjust the frequency and amplitude.

Moreover, the device can perform a rotational movement about its vertical axis (Z-axis).
