Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pelvic floor muscle repair equipment, and in particular to a training device and a training method for postpartum pelvic floor muscle repair. Background Art

[0002] Pelvic floor muscles are a general term for female pelvic floor muscles. These muscle groups are like a "hanging net" that tightly hangs the urethra, bladder, vagina, uterus, rectum and other organs, thereby maintaining their normal position so that they can perform their functions. From an anatomical point of view, the pelvic floor muscles can be divided into three layers: superficial, middle and deep. The superficial layer mainly includes the superficial transverse perineal muscles, bulbospongiosus muscles, etc.; the middle layer includes the deep transverse perineal muscles and urethral sphincter; the deep layer is mainly the levator ani muscles. During pregnancy and childbirth, women's pelvic floor muscles may be damaged due to the compression and expansion of the fetus, resulting in muscle relaxation and dysfunction. The main purpose of postpartum pelvic floor muscle repair is to help women restore the strength and tension of the pelvic floor muscles and improve the relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles.

[0036] A training method for a training device for postpartum pelvic floor muscle repair, comprising the following steps: a parturient lies on a reclining board 1, with her buttocks placed on a buttocks support pad 10, adjusting the spacing between two sets of calf support devices 6 and thigh support devices 7 according to the appropriate distance between the legs of the patient when doing hip bridge exercises, inserting a limiting rod 603 into a limiting hole 5 at a corresponding position, fixing the calf support device 6 and the thigh support device 7 at an appropriate position, placing the thighs of both legs on the thigh support device 7, and the calves on the calf support device 6, and clamping the legs together. 606 and the buffer pad 612 fix the legs. After the legs are fixed, the parturient lies down and starts the motor 803 to drive the rotating disk 806 to rotate. With the cooperation of the fixed column 807 and the latch 808, the support frame 805 can move up and down, so that the hip support pad 10 can lift the parturient's hips upward to assist the parturient in doing hip bridge exercises to help repair the pelvic floor muscles. When the parturient's hips are lifted to the height of the infrared sensor 12, the infrared sensor 12 transmits a signal to the counter 13, so that the counter 13 counts the movement.

[0037] When in use, the calf support device 6 and the thigh support device 7 form a 90-degree angle between the thigh support device 6 and the calf support device 7. When doing hip bridge exercise, the parturient bends her legs, and according to the suitable leg distance of different parturients, the movable support frame 601 is moved along the guide groove 4, so that the distance between the two sets of calf support devices 6 and thigh support devices 7 is suitable for the parturient, and the limiting rod 603 that moves out of the limiting hole 5 during movement is inserted into the limiting hole 5 at the corresponding position, so that the calf support device 6 and the thigh support device 7 are in the same position. The calf and thigh are respectively placed in the calf support device 6 and the thigh support device 7, and the limit plate 609 is pressed downward to compress the support spring 608, so that the limit plate 609 can pass through the through slot 610 until the splints 606 and the buffer pads 612 on both sides of the legs restrict the legs. The limit plate 609 that is not pressed cannot pass through the through slot 610. Under the obstruction of the limit plate 609, the legs of the parturient can be restricted to prevent the legs from making incorrect postures during exercise.

[0038] Through the hip support device 8, for parturients who are relatively weak and unable to do the hip bridge exercise completely independently, the motor 803 is started to drive the rotating disk 806 to rotate. When the fixed column 807 rotates through the latch teeth 808 on one side, it drives the support frame 805 to move upward, so that the hip support pad 10 provides an upward supporting force for the parturient's buttocks, assisting the parturient in lifting her buttocks upward. When the fixed column 807 rotates through the latch teeth 808 on the other side, it drives the support frame 805 to move downward, making it convenient for the parturient to lower her buttocks. The above process is repeated every time a hip bridge exercise is performed.

[0039] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention are implemented according to the conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
