A spinal rehabilitation training method

Abstract

This invention relates to a spinal rehabilitation training method, which includes a spinal sitting posture rehabilitation process. The process involves the patient sitting on a seat, raising and lowering a first support rod until the left and right support rods align with the supported area of ​​the spine during backward bending and fix it to the back of the spine. If the supported area during backward bending is the lower part of the spine below the cervical vertebrae, a second support rod is raised and lowered to a position that can bind the patient's shoulders, and a strap is placed on the patient's shoulders. If the supported area during backward bending is the cervical vertebrae, the second support rod is raised and lowered to a position that can bind the patient's head, and a strap is placed on the patient's head. A swing rod drive mechanism drives the swing rod to swing back and forth. This invention has the advantage of being able to pull the spine backward by supporting a designated area of ​​the spine for rehabilitation training, solving the problems of existing rehabilitation training methods that rely on manual pulling, which is laborious and lacks precise control.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rehabilitation technology, and in particular to a spinal rehabilitation training method. Background Technology

[0002] Patients with spinal injuries sometimes require the following spinal rehabilitation exercises: A pressure point is applied to the corresponding area of ​​the patient's spine, then the area above the pressure point is pulled backward to bend the spine at a set angle. The pulling is then released, followed by another pull, and so on, until the spine is back to its normal position. Currently, these rehabilitation exercises are performed manually by a physical therapist. While performing these exercises manually is not strenuous, it is difficult to precisely control the angle and force of the bend. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a spinal rehabilitation training method that can pull the spine backward by pressing against a designated part of the spine for rehabilitation training, which solves the problem that existing rehabilitation training for pulling back the curved spine is laborious and cannot be precisely controlled by manual pulling.

[0004] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: A spinal rehabilitation training method, characterized in that it is performed by a spinal rehabilitation training device, the spinal rehabilitation training device including a seat plate with supporting feet and a swing arm drive mechanism, the rear end of the seat plate is provided with a seat plate sliding sleeve, the sliding sleeve is provided with a first support rod and a seat plate locking bolt threadedly connected to fix the first support rod on the sliding sleeve, the upper end of the first support rod is fixed with a left-right push rod and a front-back swing arm is hinged to the support rod through a left-right hinge axis, the swing arm drive mechanism is used to drive the front-back swing arm to swing about the left-right hinge axis of the support rod as an axis, the left-right push rod is located in front of the first support rod, the rear end of the swing arm is provided with a swing arm sliding hole, the front end of the front-back swing arm is hinged to the first support rod, the sliding hole is provided with a second support rod and a swing arm locking bolt threadedly connected to fix the second support rod on the swing arm, the upper end of the second support rod is hinged to the front-back swing arm. The rear ends of the longitudinal rods are connected together, and the front ends of the longitudinal rods are equipped with upper straps. The spinal rehabilitation training method includes a spinal sitting posture rehabilitation process. The process of spinal sitting posture rehabilitation is as follows: the patient sits on the seat board, the seat board locking bolt is loosened, the first support rod is raised and lowered until the left and right support rods are aligned with the part of the spine that is supported when the spine is bent backward and support the spine, the seat board locking bolt is locked, and the swing rod locking bolt is loosened. If the part of the spine that is supported when the spine is bent backward is the part of the spine below the cervical vertebrae, the second support rod is raised and lowered until it can bind the patient's shoulders and the strap is tied to the patient's shoulders. If the part of the spine that is supported when the spine is bent backward is the cervical vertebrae, the second support rod is raised and lowered until it can bind the patient's head and the strap is tied to the patient's head. The swing rod is driven to swing down to a set angle by the swing rod drive mechanism, and then the swing rod drive mechanism drives the swing rod to return to its original position. The swing rod repeatedly performs the downward and return movements to drive the spine to bend backward and return to its original position to achieve spinal rehabilitation exercise. No manual pulling is required when performing spinal kyphosis rehabilitation, saving labor and the angle can be reliably controlled.

[0005] Preferably, the seat plate sliding sleeve is hinged to the rear end of the seat plate via a left-right hinge axis. The seat plate is provided with a first support rod alignment maintenance structure to prevent the seat plate sliding sleeve from rotating downwards and to keep the first support rod in a vertical state. The spinal rehabilitation training method also includes a spinal sleeping posture rehabilitation process. The spinal sleeping posture rehabilitation process is as follows: the first support rod alignment maintenance structure is removed, and the seat plate sliding sleeve is rotated about the left-right hinge axis of the seat plate until the first support rod is in a horizontal state. At this time, the lower end of the first support rod, which is vertical when it is in the lower position, extends forward into the lower part of the seat plate. Under the obstruction of the seat plate, the first support rod is kept in a horizontal state. The patient lies on the seat plate with his buttocks and lower back supported on the seat plate and his back facing down. The seat plate locking bolts are tightened, and the first support rod is extended and retracted until it aligns with the part of the spine that is supported when the spine is bent backward, thus supporting the spine. The seat plate locking bolts are then tightened, and the swing arm locking bolts are loosened. If the part of the spine supported when bending backward is the area below the cervical vertebrae, the second support rod is extended and retracted to a position where it can bind the patient's shoulders, and the strap is tied around the patient's shoulders. If the part of the spine supported when bending backward is the cervical vertebrae, the second support rod is extended and retracted to a position where it can bind the patient's head, and the strap is tied around the patient's head. The swing arm is driven forward by the swing arm drive mechanism to a set angle, and then the swing arm drive mechanism drives the swing arm to return to its original position. The swing arm repeatedly performs the forward swing and return motion, thereby driving the spine to bend backward to achieve spinal rehabilitation exercises. This technical solution allows patients to perform spinal rehabilitation training in both lying and sitting positions. It has good versatility.

[0006] Preferably, the second support rod alignment maintenance structure includes a vertical connecting bolt and a support rod with one end connected to the lower surface of the seat plate via the vertical connecting bolt. The other end of the support rod can support the lower side of the seat plate slide sleeve. During seated rehabilitation, the first support rod is positioned below the seat plate slide sleeve supported by the vertical support rod for limitation. When switching from seated rehabilitation mode to sleeping rehabilitation mode, the process rod is moved to a position that does not prevent the seat plate slide sleeve from rotating.

[0007] Preferably, the portion of the second support rod above the swing arm is fitted with an arc-shaped sliding rod distributed vertically. The center line of the circle containing the arc-shaped sliding rod is concentric with the axis of the left-right hinge of the support rod. The rear end of the arc-shaped sliding rod has an anti-dislocation head located behind the second support rod, and the front end has left-right support rods. A reset spring is fitted onto the arc-shaped sliding rod to drive its forward movement. During reclining rehabilitation, the left-right support rods can support the shoulders and below, assisting the patient in repositioning, while not interfering with spinal flexion. This provides effective protection for the patient in a reclining position.

[0008] Preferably, the rear end of the front-to-back longitudinal rod is provided with a connector. The connector has a polygonal cross-section, and the free end of the threaded connector has a threaded section connected to a connecting nut. The upper end of the second support rod has a connecting through hole on the upper support rod portion that mates with the connector, and the lower end has a connecting through hole on the lower support rod portion that mates with the connector. The arc-shaped sliding rod is located between the connecting through hole on the upper support rod portion and the connecting through hole on the lower support rod portion. When the connector passes through the connecting through hole on the upper support rod portion or the connecting through hole on the lower support rod portion, the front-to-back longitudinal rod is fixed to the second support rod by the connecting nut or by clamping the front-to-back longitudinal rod. When performing rehabilitation with the cervical spine as the fulcrum, the second support rod is moved until the connecting through hole on the lower support rod portion is located above or behind the swing rod, and then the front-to-back longitudinal rod is connected to the connecting through hole on the lower support rod portion. This allows for the setting of left-to-right support rods to protect the patient during lying rehabilitation, while also preventing the left-to-right support rods from interfering with backbend rehabilitation with the cervical spine as the fulcrum. During reclining rehabilitation, the portion of the patient positioned in front of the left and right support bars is supported by the first support bar to prevent sagging.

[0009] Preferably, the seat is also equipped with a vertical positioning frame, which is used to pass between the patient's legs. During spinal rehabilitation in a lying position, the vertical positioning frame is located between the patient's legs and supports the patient's groin area, and then the position is aligned. This can prevent the patient from moving forward during lying-down rehabilitation, which could cause the parts supported by the lateral support rods to shift and lead to rehabilitation misalignment.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the first support rod is also connected to a lower strap, which is located below the left-right upward rod. During spinal posture rehabilitation, the second strap is tied to the part of the patient's body located below the left-right upward rod. This prevents the part of the patient's torso located below the left-right upward rod from shifting forward during rehabilitation training, which could lead to inaccurate kyphosis angles and affect rehabilitation training.

[0011] Preferably, the second support rod is equipped with a scale indicating the height of its upper end. When repositioning a patient for rehabilitation of a second site after repositioning the first site, the distance the first support rod moves is recorded. The second support rod is then moved a corresponding distance in the same direction. This ensures that the position of the first strap remains unchanged, and the accuracy of the movement distance can be determined by observing the scale reading when adjusting the second support rod. This improves the convenience of adjustment.

[0012] Preferably, the rocker arm drive mechanism includes a servo motor connected to the rear side of the upper end of the first support rod, a driven synchronous gear connected to the left-right hinge shaft of the support rod, an active synchronous gear connected to the power output shaft of the servo motor, and a synchronous belt that transmits the rotation of the active synchronous gear to the driven synchronous gear. The adjustment angle can be accurately and continuously adjusted.

[0013] Preferably, the support legs include a front support leg and a rear support leg, both of which are telescopic structures. The upper end of the front support leg is hinged to the lower front surface of the seat plate via a left-right hinge axis. The front support leg is tilted with its lower end facing forward. A front limit block is provided on the lower surface of the seat plate, which abuts against the front side of the front support leg to prevent it from rotating forward. The upper end of the rear support leg is hinged to the lower rear surface of the seat plate via a left-right hinge axis. The rear support leg is tilted with its lower end facing backward. A rear limit block is provided on the lower surface of the seat plate, which abuts against the rear side of the rear support leg to prevent it from rotating backward. This design allows for seat plate height adjustment to meet the needs of different patients and enables the collection and storage of breast milk.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages: it can perform spinal rehabilitation training for patients in lying and sitting positions, and the training does not require manual intervention, making rehabilitation less strenuous and more accurate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 4 A spinal rehabilitation training method is disclosed, which is performed using a spinal rehabilitation training device. The device includes a seat plate 1 with supporting legs and a swing arm drive mechanism 2. The supporting legs include a front supporting leg 3 and a rear supporting leg 4. Both the front and rear supporting legs are telescopic structures, specifically: each supporting leg includes a lower section 5 and an upper section 6. The lower part of the upper section has an upper section connecting hole 7, and the upper part of the lower section has a connecting rod 8 that passes through the upper section connecting hole. The upper section connecting hole is threaded with a tightening bolt that presses against the connecting rod to fix it in place. In use, the tightening bolt is loosened, the lower section is pulled out to the required length from the supporting leg, and then the tightening bolt is tightened. The upper end of the front support leg is hinged to the lower front surface of the seat plate via the left-right hinge shaft 9. The front support leg is tilted with its lower end facing forward. A front limit stop 10 is provided on the lower surface of the seat plate. The front limit stop abuts against the front side of the front support leg to prevent the front support leg from rotating forward. The upper end of the rear support leg is hinged to the lower rear surface of the seat plate via the left-right hinge shaft 11. The rear support leg is tilted with its lower end facing backward. A rear limit stop 12 is provided on the lower surface of the seat plate. The rear limit stop abuts against the rear side of the rear support leg to prevent the rear support leg from rotating backward.

[0022] The rear end of the seat plate is hinged to a seat plate sliding sleeve 14 via a left-right hinge shaft 13. A first support rod 15 passes through the sliding sleeve, and a seat plate locking bolt 16, threaded to fix the first support rod to the sliding sleeve, is connected to it. A left-right push rod 17 is fixed to the upper end of the first support rod, and a front-back swing rod 19 is hinged to it via a left-right hinge shaft 18. The left-right push rod is located in front of the first support rod. A lower strap 20 is also connected to the upper end of the first support rod, located below the left-right push rod. The swing rod drive structure is used to drive the front-back swing rod to swing about the left-right hinge shaft of the support rod. Specifically, the swing rod drive mechanism includes a servo motor 21 connected to the rear side of the upper end of the first support rod, a driven synchronous gear 22 connected to the left-right hinge shaft of the support rod, a driving synchronous gear 23 connected to the power output shaft of the servo motor, and a synchronous belt 24 that transmits the rotation of the driving synchronous gear to the driven synchronous gear. The seat plate is also equipped with a vertical positioning frame 25, which is worn between the patient's legs during rehabilitation training. The rear end of the swing arm has a swing arm sliding hole. The front end of the forward and backward swing arm is hinged to the first support rod. A second support rod 26 passes through the sliding hole, and a swing arm locking bolt 27, which is threaded onto the swing arm, is connected to it. The upper end of the second support rod is connected to the rear end of the forward and backward longitudinal rod 28, and the front end of the forward and backward longitudinal rod has an upper strap 29. The seat plate is equipped with a first support rod alignment maintenance structure 30 that prevents the seat plate sliding sleeve from rotating downwards, thus keeping the first support rod in a vertical position. The second support rod alignment maintenance structure includes a vertical connecting bolt 31 and a support rod 32, one end of which is connected to the lower surface of the seat plate via the vertical connecting bolt. During sitting rehabilitation, the other end of the support rod can support the lower side of the seat plate sliding sleeve. When switching from a sitting to a lying position, the support rod can be removed so as not to interfere with the rotation of the seat plate sliding sleeve. The second support rod is equipped with a scale 33 indicating the height of its upper end. Several arc-shaped sliding rods 34, distributed vertically, pass through the portion of the second support rod above the swing arm. The center line of the circle containing the arc-shaped sliding rods is aligned with the axis of the left-right hinge of the support rod. A locking head 35 is located behind the second support rod at the rear end of each arc-shaped sliding rod, and a left-right support rod 36 is located at the front end. A return spring 37, which drives the arc-shaped sliding rod forward, is fitted onto each arc-shaped sliding rod. A connector 38 is located at the rear end of the longitudinal rod. The connector has a polygonal cross-section, and a threaded section 39 is located at the free end of the threaded connector. A connecting nut 40 is connected to the threaded section. The upper end of the second support rod has an upper connecting through hole 41 that mates with the connector, and the lower end has a lower connecting through hole 42 that mates with the connector. The arc-shaped sliding rod is located between the upper connecting through hole and the lower connecting through hole. When the connector passes through the connecting through hole on the support rod or the connecting through hole on the lower part of the support rod, the front and rear longitudinal rods are fixed to the second support rod by engaging with the connecting nut or by clamping the front and rear longitudinal rods.

[0023] Spinal rehabilitation training methods include a sitting posture rehabilitation process and a sleeping posture rehabilitation process. The sitting posture rehabilitation process is as follows: The patient sits on the seat board, the seat board locking bolts are loosened, the first support rod is raised and lowered until the left and right push rods are aligned with the part of the spine that is supported when bending backward and support the spine, the seat board locking bolts are tightened, and the swing rod locking bolts are loosened. If the part of the spine that is supported when bending backward is the part of the spine below the cervical spine, the second support rod is raised and lowered until it can bind the patient's shoulders, and the straps are tied to the patient's shoulders. If the part of the spine that is supported when bending backward is the cervical spine, the second support rod is raised and lowered until it can bind the patient's head, and the straps are tied to the patient's head. The swing rod is driven to swing down to a set angle by the swing rod drive mechanism, and then the swing rod is driven to return to its original position. The swing rod repeatedly performs the downward and return movements, thereby driving the spine to bend backward and return to its original position to achieve spinal rehabilitation exercise.

[0024] The process of spinal sleeping posture rehabilitation is as follows: Remove the first support rod from the support structure, allowing the seat plate sliding sleeve to rotate around the left-right hinge axis of the seat plate until the first support rod is in a horizontal position. At this point, the lower end of the first support rod, which was vertical when it was in the seat position, extends forward and under the seat plate. The seat plate's resistance keeps the first support rod in a horizontal position. The patient lies on the seat plate with their buttocks and lower body supported by the seat plate and their back facing down. Loosen the seat plate locking bolts, extend and retract the first support rod until the left-right support rod aligns with the part of the spine that is supported when it is bent backward and presses against the spine. Tighten the seat plate locking bolts. Loosen the locking bolts on the swing arm. If the part of the spine supported when bending backward is the part of the spine below the cervical vertebrae, extend and retract the second support rod to a position where it can be tied to the patient's shoulders and tie the straps to the patient's shoulders. If the part of the spine supported when bending backward is the cervical vertebrae, extend and retract the second support rod to a position where it can be tied to the patient's head and tie the straps to the patient's head. Drive the swing arm forward to a set angle through the swing arm drive mechanism, and then drive the swing arm to return to its original position. The swing arm repeatedly performs the forward swing and return motion, thereby driving the spine to bend backward and return to its original position to achieve spinal rehabilitation exercise.

[0025] When using the cervical spine as a fulcrum for rehabilitation, move the second support rod so that the connecting hole under the support rod is located above (for sitting rehabilitation) or behind (for lying rehabilitation), and then connect the front and rear longitudinal rods into the connecting hole under the support rod.

[0026] During rehabilitation, the vertical positioning frame is placed between the patient's legs; when the patient is lying down, the vertical positioning frame rests against the patient's groin.

[0027] When performing sitting rehabilitation, the second restraint is tied to the patient's body to prevent the part of the patient's torso located below the left and right top bar from shifting forward during rehabilitation training, which would lead to an inaccurate kyphosis angle and affect the rehabilitation training.
