Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a health appliance, and more particularly, to a health appliance used to prevent or improve contractures of muscles and joints throughout the human body.

Back pain, back pain, and neck pain are collectively called back pain. Pain in the joints of the limbs (shoulder, elbow, hand, hip, knee, ankle) other than the back joint is collectively called joint pain.

Back pain (back pain) and pain in the joints of the hands and feet (joint pain) are caused by abnormalities in the elasticity of the membranes that cover the joints (skin, nerves, blood vessels, fascia, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, etc.). . There are about 200 joints composed of about 206 bones in the whole body.

If you are in a healthy state, each joint has a function like a state-of-the-art seismic isolation system that restores each joint with a deviation of about 1 mm in about 8 directions, so you can suffer from joint pain regardless of your age. very few.

The above function works as well as a seismic isolation structure system that absorbs the impact of a huge earthquake to less than 1/10, and protects the human body from injury and pain. This function is called joint play. As long as you have joint play, you won't suffer from back pain or joint pain in your limbs.

Trauma, inflammation, malignant tumor, malformation, congenital anomaly, and the like are conceivable as causes for loss of the above functions.

Triggered by the events described above, contracture of the muscles of the lower body (a condition that can be improved by performing manual therapy and rehabilitation is called contracture) occurs first. If this condition is left untreated, it will eventually lead to contractures of the spine, pelvis, and joints of the lower and upper extremities.

As mentioned above, if contracture of the muscles of the lower body is left untreated, contracture of the joints of the spine, pelvis, and lower and upper limbs will occur. That is, for example, if the contracture of the muscles of the lower limbs is left untreated, it will eventually lead to arthritis in the spine and pelvic joints (sacroiliac joints, lumbar joints, etc.) by compensating for the original functions of the lower limbs. As a result, low back pain, back pain, and neck pain occur.

As the arthritis progresses further, the patient suffers from arthritis of the knees, hip joints and ankle joints (contracture of the joints of the lower extremities). Furthermore, in order to protect the arthritis of the lower extremities and lower back pain (arthritis of the lower back), for example, when moving weight, such as standing up from a chair, as a result of relying on the strength of the upper extremities, the result is finally suffering from arthritis of the upper extremities.

Therefore, in order to prevent arthritis from becoming more severe, it is important to improve muscle contracture in the lower extremities as early as possible.

Conventionally, a roller pad (also referred to as an operation pad) provided to be movable in the vertical direction, a seating portion, and a load applying means for applying a load (weight) to the roller pad are provided, and a posture in which the user is seated on the seating portion. Various types of training machines are generally known in which the knees are bent and stretched (leg extension/curl) by moving roller pads with both legs up and down (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

According to the training machines of Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is possible to strengthen the muscle strength of the lower limbs.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-45241 JP 2006-296862 A Japanese Patent No. 4648720

The training machines of Patent Documents 1 to 3 are intended exclusively for strengthening muscle strength, and training using these machines is effective for strengthening the muscle strength of the lower extremities. .

However, each of the training machines of Patent Documents 1 to 3 performs bending and stretching exercises (leg extension/curling) by moving the roller pad up and down while sitting on the seat, so that the muscle strength of the lower extremities can be strengthened. but cannot improve muscle contracture in the lower extremities. Therefore, it may cause contracture of the joints of the spine, pelvis, lower limbs and upper limbs.

Thereby, the height of the supporting table portion 21 can be adjusted stepwise to a desired height.

The health appliance 100 of the present embodiment (Embodiment 1) is configured with the above configuration. Next, an example of the method of using the above-mentioned health equipment and its effects will be described. This health appliance 100 is used while the user X is on the base board.

Before performing the exercise described below using the fitness equipment, it is recommended to examine the following six types of movements.
(a) Bend forward with both legs tightly closed to check whether or not the fingertips can be touched.
(b) Check if there is pain or limitation of movement in backbending.
(c) and (d) Examine left and right lateral flexion.
(e) and (f) Examine left and right rotation.

In the above check, muscle contracture is suspected if there is a difference in movement between front and back, left and right lateral, and left and right twist. Conversely, if there is no difference but there are symptoms, joint contracture should be suspected.

Therefore, the heights of both mounting struts 11 and both movable range restricting struts 12 of the main unit 1 are adjusted to desired heights, and the height of the supporting table portion of the auxiliary unit 2 is adjusted to desired heights. to set.

1. Exercises that normalize forward and backward bending movements (forward bending and back bending).

The user X gets on the base pedestal 10, and as shown in FIG. 6, the user's lower back, etc. abuts against the protective pad of the load-applying movable part 3, and the user X bends forward with both feet aligned perfectly to the toes. Both arms or both elbows and the head are brought into contact with the upper surface of the support table section 21, and while this state is maintained as much as possible, the load-applying movable section 3 is pushed up (rotated upward), and both knees as shown in FIG. try to stretch The weight of the load applying movable part of the health appliance of this embodiment is about 10 kg. A weight ring 37 having a desired weight is attached to the weight ring mounting rod 34 (metal bar) if it is not unreasonable. Then try to straighten your knees. In this case, there is no problem even if both knees cannot fully extend.

Although FIG. 7 shows a state in which both knees are fully extended as an example, the knees may not be fully extended as shown. In this case, by narrowing (shortening) the movable range in which the knee is bent and extended, the knee bending and stretching exercise (exercise) becomes easier. Therefore, the rotational movable range of the load-applying movable section is adjusted and set according to the height of the movable-range restricting column section 12 .

If the movable range of the load-applying movable part is expanded too much, it will cause fatigue, so the exercise will be for a different purpose. The purpose of the above exercises is not to increase muscle strength, but to improve contracture of the muscles of the lower body.

Therefore, as described above, while bending forward and maintaining the above-described state as much as possible, the load-applying movable part 3 pushes up the load-applying movable part while applying a load to the user, and the knees are stretched and both knees are stretched. The bending motion is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) and performed continuously. This point is the extension zone.

In addition to the above exercise, a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times) the exercise of bending and stretching both knees is repeated. This allows the contracture to be performed efficiently while being conscious of the initial range (shallow range of motion), intermediate range (range of motion in the middle of the movement), and extension range (range of motion where the knee is almost fully extended). . Finally, stretch for several seconds (for example, about 10 seconds). This improves the contraction of the muscles of the lower extremities, making it easier to bend forward. In addition, low back pain caused by being able to bend forward sufficiently is improved.

2. About exercises to normalize the movement of bending the body sideways (left and right lateral bending).

The user gets on the base board and rotates the toe externally by about 45 degrees or more in a range that slightly exceeds the shoulder width (for example, within 70 cm). And the above 1. Check how far you can extend your knees while maintaining the same posture as above.

And the above 1. Repeat the exercise of stretching and bending both knees a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times). Then try to stretch your knees. This position where it is difficult to extend is the range of the extension area. Therefore, the exercise of bending and stretching both knees is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times). Finally, stretch for several seconds (for example, about 10 seconds). This improves the lateral spread.

1 above. and the above 2. After performing both exercises (exercises), do the forward bend in the first investigated position. As a result, the above 1. and 2. Compared to before the exercise, it can be noticed that the range of motion is clearly improved. First, the muscle contracture of the lower extremities is improved, making it easier to bend forward. Next, by being able to bend forward enough, you can improve the back pain caused by the body bending too much.

1 above. Exercise (exercise) is an exercise in which the weight is transferred from the outside of the heel to the big toe, and the forward and backward spread of the legs becomes normal. In addition, the above 2. Exercise (exercise) is an exercise in which the weight is transferred from the inside of the heel to the pinky finger, and the lateral spread leg becomes normal.

As described above, using the health appliance of the present invention, the above 1. and the above 2. By doing this exercise, the contracture of the muscles and joints of the whole body is improved (joint play is reset), and as a result, the state in which the spine moves excessively back and forth and sideways is improved, resulting in lower back pain, back pain, and neck pain. It is possible to prevent and improve the aggravation and complication of arthritis expressed as.

In addition, the above 1. and the above 2. It is preferable to exercise every day if possible. In addition, it is preferable to perform the exercises in the order described above.
