Description

TORSION CHAIR AND CERVICAL FLEXURE WITH ADJUSTABLE HELMET

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present specification refers to a Utility Model application regarding a torsion and flexion chair with adjustable helmet to strengthen the paravertebral musculature.

FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention has its application within the industry the manufacture of machines, apparatus and auxiliary devices for the rehabilitation of patients

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are currently very few specific devices for the rehabilitation of cervical injuries, most of which are known for shooting or traction, as these are not suitable for cervical muscles. This type of electrically operated apparatus has the drawback that the movement that the patient will carry out is not gradual, but rather abruptly passes a resistance force determined at zero kilos, which causes discomfort for users. They also lack a traction regulation system suitable for each patient and specific treatment.

Another similar type of apparatus, also electrically operated, also acts by cervical traction, which allows the user to hang and unhook in a limited way by exerting a certain vertical force by means of a band applied to the patient's lower jaw, at whose ends a linked rope is fixed to a motorized pulley system.

These types of devices are usually quite expensive and bulky, they require a specific electrical installation with its adequate protections, with the drawback of the risk that implies, in addition to the risk of interruption of the electricity supply when it is being used. For these reasons, they are normally only provided by habilitation institutes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The author of the present invention has created a type of apparatus that solves the drawbacks exposed in the previous section, the main characteristics of which are described below.

The torsion and cervical flexion chair with adjustable helmet is composed of a chair that has a completely straight backrest with two harnesses anchored to it by means of straps, the legs being of sufficient length so that the patient's feet do not touch the ground .

A support element in a preferred "inverted L" shape welded to the back of the chair, adjustable in height in its vertical part and whose horizontal part serves as an anchor to a torsion element that connects to the upper part of an adjustable helmet.

Said horizontal part is adjustable in length in its forward-backward movement, either in itself with the fixed torsion element, or that the horizontal part is longer and more fixed and the torsion element can move horizontally through it until it is in the position corresponding to the top of the adjustable helmet.

The torsion element can be a programmable electric clutch, which is an adjustable element for the selection of the starting force, so that it opposes a progressively decreasing resistance in the turn, or it can be any other element that performs a similar function.

The adjustable helmet has a support on which two front plates, two rear plates are attached and a curved strap welded at its ends to each front plate at the bottom at the height of the patient's mouth.

The plates and the strap have curved plates in the form of "a weld to them and distributed at the level of the forehead and at the level of the patient's mouth and serving as a guide for two tapes that are placed through these plates and that they are adjusted by means of respective tensioners.

In the domestic version, the front and rear plates have a hole in their lateral periphery that allows the fixing of two chains at their ends to the respective holes of each plate.

In the domestic version, two traction elements are hooked respectively to one end of each chain and the other end to a wall or two removable support elements and laterally coupled to the upper part of the chair back.

The torsion and traction elements are pre-regulated according to the therapeutic treatment prescribed by the therapist.

The invention is made of metallic materials, except for the helmet support, which will be made of plastic material, allowing it to be used both industrially in a clinic. as in a private home.

The invention prevents and cures cervical pain caused by atrophy of the vertebral musculature. causing 90% of back pain.

The invention is safe and effective. allowing easy transport due to the lightness of its elements.

PREFERRED REALIZATION OF THE INVENTION

Based on the type of exercises that a user must perform, the necessary force, the area of the body to be rehabilitated, the following preferred embodiment is described:

In view of the figures in the drawings, it can be seen how the torsion and flexion chair with adjustable helmet (1), is made up of a chair (2) that has a completely straight backrest with two harnesses (2.1) anchored to it by means of straps and which are designed so that the patient's back is vertical and to cancel the turn of the shoulder girdle, the legs being of sufficient length so that the patient's feet do not touch the ground.

A support element (3) in the form of an "inverted L" welded to the back of the chair (2), adjustable in height in its vertical part and whose horizontal part serves as an anchor to a torsion element (4) that connects to the top of an adjustable helmet (5).

The torsion element (4) is an adjustable element for the selection of the starting force, so that it opposes a progressively decreasing resistance in the turn.

The adjustable helmet (5) that has a support (5.1) in which two front plates (5.2) and two rear plates (5.3) are attached and a curved strap welded (5.4) by its ends to each front plate (5.2 ) in its part at the height of the patient's mouth.

The plates (5.2) and (5.3) and the strap have curved plates (5.5) in the shape of a "U" welded to them and distributed at the level of the forehead and at the level of the

mouth of the patient and serving as a guide for two tapes (5.6) that are placed through said plates (5.5) and that are adjusted by means of two tensioners (5.7).

The plates (5.2) and (5.3) have a hole in their lateral periphery that allows the chains (5.8) to be fixed to the respective holes in each of the front (5.2) and rear (5.3) plates.

In the industrial version, the torsion and cervical flex chair with adjustable helmet

(1) is made up of the saddle (2), the support element (3), the torsion element (4) and the helmet (5).

In the domestic version, the torsion and flexion chair with adjustable helmet

(1) is made up of a folding chair (2) with two support elements (2.2) attached to it, the helmet (5) and the traction elements (7) that must be fixed to a fixed element.

In the domestic version, the front plates (5.2) and rear plates (5.3) have a hole in their lateral periphery that allows the fixing of two chains (5.8) at their ends to the respective holes in each plate.

In the domestic version, two traction elements (7) are respectively hooked at one end to each chain (5.8) and at the other end to a wall (8) or to two removable support elements (2.2) laterally coupled to the upper part. from the back of the chair (2).

The way to use the torsion and flexion chair with adjustable helmet (1) is as follows:

Once the force of the torsion element (4) or the traction elements (6), according to the version, has been selected, appropriate to the therapeutic treatment prescribed by the therapist, the patient sits in the chair (2) and is fixed quickly and easily by means of the harnesses (2.1) that cancel the rotating effect of the shoulder girdle and in turn secure the patient to the backrest.

The height is regulated, the height and the horizontal movement of the support element (3) according to the physical characteristics of the patient.

The adjustable helmet (5) is placed on the patient's head, adjusting its pressure by means of the straps (5.6) and their corresponding tensioners (5.7).

The patient, keeping the head and back straight, begins the movement of the neck only, the torsion element (4) opposes a progressively decreasing resistance, and will repeat the exercise as many times as prescribed by his physician.

Once the nature of this invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a practical application thereof, it only remains to add that both its shape and the materials and manufacturing procedure are subject to modifications, provided that they do not substantially affect the characteristics which are claimed below.
