Equipment for vertical stretching and radicular decompression of the spine

Abstract

It consists of an equipment (1) for passive stretching of the structures of the spine; constituted by auto-portable structure (2) endowed of superior moto-reducer set (3) with pulley (4) passible of moving, upwards or downwards, an one-line connection element (5) to be fastened to a garment (V) placed in the spill of the hip of the user, with central catch (6), being such moto-reducer set (3) activated by remote control (7) and course limited by sensor (S).

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This International Patent Application claims priority to Brazilian Patent Application BR-PI-0800013-1 filed Jan. 7, 2008, the specification of which is hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present Patent of Invention request refers to a new “EQUIPMENT FOR VERTICAL STRETCHING AND RADICULAR DECOMPRESSION OF THE SPINE”; especially of an equipment to be used in the medical and physiotherapeutic areas and in academies with the objective of promoting the decompression of the spine by the vertical elevation of the inferior members (legs) of the user, through a support endowed with truck and remote control, whose hoist element is connected through appropriate garment adequate to the said user's hip, promoting the radicular decompression, resulting in the increase of the space between the intervertebral discs.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]It is known that the traction of the spine (cervical, lumbar and thoracic) is a...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0030]The equipment idealized by the inventor stands out by the constructive simplicity and effectiveness, because it promotes the radicular decompression without forcing the user, for being totally automatic, elevated by means of tow truck in a totally vertical position, carrying significant advantages under the constructive and

Problems solved by technology

Physical and emotional stress, due to the practice inadequate or excessive of physical exercises.

Bad posture—the time's excess in inadequate posture generates pains in the back, causing muscular contractures.

Then, years of erroneous posture can cause anatomical deformations in the column;

However, in more complicated cases, there is the need to combine several substances as analgesic, anti-inflammatory and muscular rel
