- This movement may be performed by reciprocating the detection unit in the Z direction while gradually changing the X coordinate position, or how far in the X direction from the X coordinate position of the spine based on the patient's body type
- the reference data XD indicating whether or not the scapula inferior angle exists at the position is stored in the memory of the control device in advance, and the reference data XD according to the patient's body type is selected from the memory and used.
- the detection unit may be moved in the X direction by XD from the position of the spine, and the detection of the position of the lower scapula in the Z direction may be started from there.
- the reference data may function as an electronic medical record, and may be stored as data for each patient.
- the lower scapula angle is detected by the movement of the pressure sensor 23.
- the infrascapular horn protrudes to the left and right of the patient's back, so it can be relatively easily detected and distinguished from other parts.
- the control device 9 reads the position of the sensor 23 when the detection signal is obtained, for example, the position (Xk, Zk) (the position of the lower scapula angle) and stores it in the memory.
- the detection unit 55 is moved in the X direction (width direction of the back of the human body) while maintaining the detected position Zk of the lower scapula angle in the Z direction to detect spinous processes of the thoracic vertebra. Since the spinous process is located approximately at the center of the patient's back in the X direction, this is also easily detected. As shown in Fig. 9, since it is known in advance that the Z direction position of the infrascapular horn of the scapula corresponds to the lower end of the spinous process of the seventh thoracic vertebra, the detected spinous process is identified as the spinous process of the seventh thoracic vertebra can do.
- the spine process of the thoracic spine is detected while moving the pressure sensor 23 upward along the spine from the position of the spine process of the thoracic spine, and the control device 9 detects the position (X, Z) at which the detection signal was received.
- a detection signal could be obtained in the order of the spinous process of the sixth thoracic vertebra, the spinous process of the fifth thoracic vertebra, and the spinous process of the fourth thoracic vertebra.
- the positions of the spinous processes of the first to seventh thoracic vertebrae have been identified.
- the spinous process is detected again while the pressure sensor 23 is moved downward along the spine from the position of the spinous process of the sixth thoracic vertebra.
- the position (X, Z) where the detection signal was found is stored. Since the detected spinous processes can be sequentially identified as the spinous processes of the 8th to 12th thoracic vertebra, the positions of the 8th to 12th thoracic vertebra and the spinous processes thereof have also been identified. In this way, the positions of the first to the 12th thoracic vertebra and the spinous processes thereof are specified.
- the stored position information of the spinous process of each thoracic vertebra is stored in the thoracic spine to which the spinous process belongs. It is stored again as the position information of the thoracic spine immediately below the guess. Based on each of these thoracic vertebrae positions, a treatment is performed by pressing a specific thoracic vertebra or a thoraco-lumbar prosthesis, which is an affected part, in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
- the iliac crest was detected using the same treatment device as the pressing treatment instrument of the first embodiment, and the spinous process position of each thorax was specified based on the detected iliac crest position.
- the rest is the same as in the first embodiment.
- a patient is seated on a chair 3 as in the first embodiment, and both shoulders of the patient are fixed with a shoulder holder 2.
- the detection unit 66 is moved in the height direction (Z) while gradually changing the X coordinate position.
- the control device 9 reads the position of the sensor 23 when the detection signal is obtained, for example, the position (Xn, ⁇ ) (the position of the iliac crest), and reads the position (Xn , Z max) (the location of the iliac crest) in memory.
- the detection unit 55 is moved in the X direction (the width direction of the back of the human body) while maintaining the detected Z direction position Z max of the crest of the iliac crest to detect the spinous process of the lumbar spine.
- the spinous protrusion is also easily detected because it is located approximately in the center of the patient's back in the X direction.
- the position of the iliac crest in the Z direction is known in advance to correspond to the approximate center of the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra. It can be identified as a protrusion.
- the spine process of the lumbar vertebra is detected while moving the pressure sensor 23 upward along the spinal column from the position of the fourth spinous process of the lumbar vertebra, and the control device 9 detects the position (X, Z) is stored. That is, in this case, a detection signal could be obtained in the order of the spinous process of the third lumbar vertebra, the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, and the spinous process of the first lumbar vertebra. Since the bone immediately above the first lumbar vertebra is the first thoracic vertebra, the spinal process of the first thoracic vertebra, the spinous process of the first thoracic vertebra, and the pressure sensor 23 are further moved upward.
- the 'A detection signal is obtained in the order of the spinous process of the second thoracic vertebra and the spinous process of the first thoracic vertebra.
- the positions of the first to the 12th thoracic vertebra and the spinous processes thereof are specified. Since the position of the spinous process corresponds to the position of the thoracic vertebra immediately below the thoracic vertebra to which the spinous process belongs, the stored position information of the spinous process of each thoracic vertebra is stored in the thoracic vertebra to which each spinous process belongs. It is stored again as the position information of the chest directly underneath.
- a treatment is performed by pressing a specific thoracic vertebra or a thoracic prosthetic intervertebral joint, which is a diseased part, in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
- the pressure treatment was performed using the same pressure treatment device as the pressure treatment device of the first embodiment except that an infrared sensor was used instead of the pressure-sensitive sensor.
- the infrared sensor is provided in the detection unit 66 instead of the pressure-sensitive sensor 23 shown in FIG. 2, and can move on the back of the human body and detect heat from each part.
- the part to be pressed on the back of the patient's body is specified by palpation of a practitioner, and an insulating seal is attached to the part.
- the patient is seated on the chair 3 and both shoulders of the patient are fixed with the shoulder holder 2 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, with the heat insulating seal attached to the back of the human body.
- the detection unit 66 reciprocates on the back of the human body in the height direction (Z direction) while gradually changing the X coordinate position. Then, a low temperature part on the back of the human body is detected. Since the heat-insulating seal is made of heat-insulating material, the part where the seal is affixed is relatively easy to detect because the heat radiation from the human body is blocked and the temperature is lower than other parts. It is possible to The control device 9 reads the position of the infrared sensor when the detection signal is obtained, for example, the position (Xm, Zm) (the position of the seal) and stores it in the memory.
- the iliac crest is detected using a sensor having a shape suitable for detecting the iliac crest. Edges may be detected.
- a mark having heat insulation is detected using an infrared sensor, but a mark having light reflectivity is detected using a photodetector, or a mark made of a magnetic material is used using a magnetic sensor. The mark may be detected.
- the number of pressing parts for pressing the back of the human body is not limited to one, and two pressing parts, for example, a pressing part for pressing the upper thorax (third, fourth and fifth vertebrae), A pressing portion for pressing the thoracic vertebra (the 10th, 11th and 12th thoracic vertebrae) may be provided in the main body.
- the back of the human body may be simultaneously pressed by both rollers, or may be separately pressed.
- an image display device that can display the thoracic vertebrae position in an image based on the thoracic vertebral position information obtained by a measurement device that measures the position of the thoracic vertebrae, and a part to be pressed can be input from outside and pressed.
