Wearable flexible pneumatic lumbar muscle rehabilitation apparatus

Abstract

The invention discloses a wearable flexible pneumatic lumbar muscle rehabilitation apparatus and belongs to the technical field of medical instruments; the apparatus is worn to the waist of a human body through an elastic fabric base, a controllable deformable air bag is connected to a miniature air pump, the changes in the girth and bending of the air bag are adjusted trough a control unit so that a user may select a fixed posture or preform rehabilitation training, the user is assisted in supporting the body and restoring muscles, as well as enhancing the lumbar core stability. The wearable flexible pneumatic lumbar muscle rehabilitation apparatus is portable and comfortable to wear, is friendly to the normal activities of the waist of the human body, and never causes secondary injury to joints.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a wearable flexible pneumatic lumbar muscle rehabilitation device. Background technique [0002] Human lumbar motor dysfunction is a common disease in modern society. Its causes are diverse, including lumbar muscle strain caused by sitting at a desk or maintaining the same posture for a long time, acute and chronic sports injuries, accidental injuries, and senile diseases such as stroke sequelae. In the case of decreased muscle strength and endurance, muscle fatigue, and uncoordinated contraction between muscle groups, the central area of ​​the vertebral body cannot be kept within the physiological limit, affecting the core stability of the human body system and weakening the body to maintain the movement of the trunk Posture, the ability to control the curvature of the spine, and balance against disturbances. [0003] Existing waist rehabilitation devices mainly refer t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] 1) Large-scale lumbar spine rehabilitation equipment, such as rehabilitation chairs, rehabilitation beds and rehabilitation robots, can only be used in laboratories or within a fixed range, which is costly and inconvenient for individual patients

[0009] 2) For wearable waist rehabilitation devices, the main components still use rigid units, and the wearing weight is relatively heavy. The mechanical components will also limit the degree of freedom of the joints, and poor posture may cause secondary injuries to the human body.

[0010] 3) The rehabilitation device with the composite cloth layer as the fixing part is light in weight and easy to use, but there is no driving device, and the rehabilitation function is limited
