Spinning device suitable for patients with lumbar disc herniation and using method
By adjusting the design of the base and handlebars, the exercise bike increases the pressure on the upper limbs, thereby reducing the load on the lumbar spine and improving cardiopulmonary function. This solves the problem of insufficient exercise for patients with lumbar disc herniation and promotes rehabilitation.

AI Technical Summary
Patients with lumbar disc herniation often experience reduced cardiopulmonary function due to lack of exercise while lying flat due to lower back pain. Existing exercise rehabilitation devices are unable to effectively relieve the load on the lumbar spine and improve cardiopulmonary function.
A dynamic bicycle device was designed, which includes a height-adjustable base, height-adjustable handlebars, and a weight and upper limb pressure gauge. By adjusting the height of the base and the distance between the handlebars, the handlebars bear an upper limb pressure greater than 10% of the body weight, ensuring that the upper body naturally leans forward during riding, reducing the load on the lumbar spine and fully exercising the lower limbs.
The exercise bike device effectively reduces the load on the lumbar spine, improves cardiopulmonary function, relieves lower back pain, and promotes patients' exercise rehabilitation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of exercise rehabilitation and physiotherapy devices for patients with lumbar disc herniation. Background Technology
[0002] The intervertebral disc is composed of superior and inferior cartilaginous endplates, a central nucleus pulposus, and a surrounding annulus fibrosus. Lumbar disc pressure measurements revealed that the spinal load is calculated at 100% in a standing position, increasing to 150% in a sitting position, 210% in a standing forward flexion position, and reaching 270% in a sitting forward flexion position. Holding a 20kg weight while standing results in a 210kg load on the lumbar spine; holding the same weight while bending over increases the load to 340kg.
[0003] Patients with lumbar disc herniation often experience lower back pain and lack of exercise due to lying flat, which can reduce their cardiopulmonary function and affect surgery. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This solution relates to a stationary bike device and its usage method for patients with lumbar disc herniation. The device comprises a height-adjustable and movable base, height-adjustable handlebars, a pressure gauge on the handlebars to withstand pressure from the upper limbs, a weighing scale on the bottom of the bike to measure the rider's weight, and a control screen displaying the upper limb pressure / weight ratio. The riding setup involves the seat being at least as high as (or very close to) the height of the handlebars at the rider's hand position. By raising the base height or increasing the distance between the handlebars and the base, the rider's body naturally leans forward, and the handlebars withstand pressure from the upper limbs exceeding 10% of the rider's weight, ensuring that the upper limbs naturally support the forward-leaning upper body during riding.
[0005] The aforementioned handlebars bear pressure from the upper limbs that is greater than 10% of the rider's body weight, preferably 15%-20% of the rider's body weight.
[0006] The innovation of this solution lies in the fact that the exercise bike device incorporates a pressure gauge on the handlebars to withstand pressure from the upper limbs and a weighing scale on the bottom of the bike to measure the rider's weight. By adjusting the height of the base or increasing the distance between the handlebars and the base, the rider's body naturally leans forward, and the pressure on the handlebars from the upper limbs exceeds 10% of the rider's body weight. This ensures that the upper limbs naturally support the forward-leaning upper body during riding, reducing the load on the lumbar spine and relieving lower back pain. At the same time, it fully exercises the lower limbs and improves cardiopulmonary function. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0010] 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 some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0011] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, the exercise bike device and its usage method for patients with lumbar disc herniation consist of a height-adjustable (8) and forward / backward movable (9) base (5), a height-adjustable (7) handlebar (10), a pressure gauge (4) on the handlebar to withstand pressure from the upper limbs, a weighing scale (3) on the bottom of the bike to measure the rider's weight, and a control screen (6) capable of displaying the ratio of upper limb pressure to body weight. In the riding setup, the seat (5) is not lower than (or very close to) the height of the handlebar (10) at the rider's hand position. By raising the height of the base or increasing the distance between the handlebar and the base, the rider's body naturally leans forward, and the handlebars withstand pressure from the upper limbs greater than 10% of the rider's body weight, ensuring that the upper limbs naturally support the forward-leaning upper body during riding. A handlebar pressure from the upper limbs / rider's body weight ratio of 15%-20% is suitable.
[0012] The disclosed embodiments have been described above to enable any person skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.

1. A stationary bike device and its method of use suitable for patients with lumbar disc herniation, characterized in that, The exercise bike consists of a height-adjustable and movable base, height-adjustable handlebars, a pressure gauge on the handlebars to withstand pressure from the upper limbs, a weighing scale on the bottom of the bike to measure the rider's weight, and a control screen that displays the ratio of upper limb pressure to body weight. The riding setup is such that the seat is not lower than (or very close to) the height of the handlebars where the rider holds them. By raising the height of the base or increasing the distance between the handlebars and the base, the rider's body naturally leans forward, and the handlebars withstand more than 10% of the rider's body weight in pressure from the upper limbs, ensuring that the upper limbs naturally support the forward-leaning upper body while riding.
