Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to medical rehabilitation devices, specifically to a device for practicing the "Little Swallow Flying" exercise for lumbar spine patients. Background Technology

[0002] Most patients with lumbar spine disorders experience lower back pain, which is caused by a herniated disc irritating the sinuvertebral nerve fibers in the outer annulus fibrosus and posterior longitudinal ligament. Treatment for lumbar spine disorders follows a principle of 30% treatment and 70% maintenance. The 70% maintenance aspect is considered the key to recovery.

[0003] "Little Swallow Flying" is an exercise for the rehabilitation of lumbar spine patients. The standard movement of "Little Swallow Flying" is as follows: Lay a mat on a hard bed or floor, assume a prone position with your face down, and slowly raise your arms upwards using your shoulder joints as support points. At the same time, gently lift your head and pull your shoulders back and upwards. Simultaneously, gently raise your legs, contract the muscles of your lumbosacral region, and try to support your body with your ribs and abdomen (with your stomach on the bed), hold for 1-2 seconds. Then relax your muscles and slowly lower your body, returning your limbs and head to the original position. Rest for 1-2 seconds, and then repeat.

[0004] CN203663047U discloses a "Little Swallow" style back muscle exercise machine. This patent designs a novel structure that completely simulates the "Little Swallow" movement to exercise the back muscles. The exerciser lies prone on a support board with the lower back positioned at the elastic band. Relying on the action of an electric push-pull rod, the back muscles are tightened repeatedly, thereby achieving the effect of exercising the back muscles.

[0005] Patients with lumbar spine disorders often find it difficult to perform the "Superman" exercise in the early stages, as they cannot lift their arms and legs. The aforementioned patented "Superman" lumbar and back muscle function training machine achieves the "Superman" movement through a lever driven by a motor. Due to the rigidity of the pushing and pulling motion and the lack of a control device, the range of motion or force may be too large, causing strain on the patient's lower back or upper and lower limbs, thus failing to achieve the desired rehabilitation effect. Therefore, it is not suitable for rehabilitation use by patients with lumbar spine disorders.

[0006] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby applied for. Utility Model Content
