Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical rehabilitation technology, specifically to a combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Medical technology has advanced to a point where we have a clear understanding of the human body's structure. The human spine is a chain of bones, divided into five parts: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal vertebrae. The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae that protrude forward and are concave backward. Viewed from both sides, the seven cervical vertebrae do not form a straight line but rather a curved arc. The thoracic spine consists of twelve vertebrae that protrude backward and are concave forward. Viewed from both sides, the twelve thoracic vertebrae do not form a straight line but rather a curved arc, with the curvature opposite to that of the cervical spine. The lumbar spine consists of five vertebrae that protrude forward and are concave backward. Viewed from both sides, the five lumbar vertebrae do not form a straight line but rather a curved arc, with the curvature opposite to that of the thoracic spine.

[0003] As we age, the human body naturally undergoes aging processes. Various diseases can occur in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae of the spine. Some people develop these conditions due to years of strenuous work, while others suffer injuries from accidents. There are over a hundred types of injuries to these cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae. Medical professionals often advise patients to use devices or other methods to support the injured areas, helping them return to their natural physiological curvature and creating favorable conditions for recovery. However, existing medical devices are not very effective. Therefore, a new type of combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow was designed to provide effective support for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae. This allows the patient's cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae to simultaneously return to their natural physiological curvature, while also achieving a state of complete relaxation and extension; thus creating favorable conditions for the rehabilitation of any injury or ailment in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar vertebrae.

[0030] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4 A combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow includes a base pad 1, a pillow pad 2, a lumbar pad 3, a cervical pad 4, and a binding strap 5. The base pad 1 has a first positioning hole 101 evenly arranged on one side of the pad body, and a second positioning hole 102 evenly arranged in an array along the axial direction at the center of the base pad 1. A sixth positioning hole 103 is provided between the first positioning hole 101 and the second positioning hole 102.

[0031] One end of the pillow pad 2 is fixedly provided with a thoracic spine pad 201, the pillow pad 2 is evenly provided with a third positioning hole 202, and the pillow pad 2 is provided with a fourth positioning hole 203 on the side near the thoracic spine pad 201.

[0032] The lumbar pad 3 has a fifth positioning hole 301;

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, multiple sets of pillow pads 2 are stacked to form a platform structure, and the size of the thoracic vertebral pad 201 connected to each set of pillow pads 2 gradually increases, and the stacked thoracic vertebral pads 201 form a trapezoidal platform structure.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the lumbar pad 3 is provided in multiple groups, with the size of each group of lumbar pad 3 gradually increasing, and the lumbar pad 3 stacked together form a trapezoidal truncated structure.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the fifth positioning hole 301 is connected to the second positioning hole 102.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the first positioning hole 101 and the third positioning hole 202 are connected in a cooperative manner.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the cervical pad 4 is installed under the pillow pad 2, and the sixth positioning hole 103 is connected in conjunction with the fourth positioning hole 203 and the seventh positioning hole 401.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the cervical pad 4 is provided in multiple sets, with the size of each cervical pad 4 increasing progressively. The cervical pads 4 are stacked to form a trapezoidal platform structure. Each pillow pad 2 is paired with a set of cervical pads 4, and multiple sets of pillow pads 2 can be paired with cervical pads 4 simultaneously.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the cervical pad 4 can be directly stacked and installed on the pillow pad 2, and the sixth positioning hole 103 is connected in conjunction with the fourth positioning hole 203 and the seventh positioning hole 401.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the base pad 1, pillow pad 2, and lumbar pad 3 are covered with multiple sets of therapeutic magnetic sheets.

[0042] In its specific implementation, this utility model's combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow uses a base pad, a pillow pad, a cervical spine pad, a lumbar spine pad, and health-care and therapeutic magnets as its main components. These are fixed together with auxiliary materials such as straps, buttons, and buckles to form a three-dimensional shape that includes a headrest, cervical spine pillow, thoracic spine pillow, and lumbar spine pillow, all of which are fixed to the base pad. This provides beneficial support to the head, cervical spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine simultaneously, achieving the goals of relieving cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine diseases, maintaining human health, promoting sleep, relieving fatigue, and restoring physical strength.

[0043]

[0044] The structure of the modular three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow can be broken down as follows: the bottom component is the base pad. The function of the base pad is to fix the other components, so the base pad has a first positioning hole 101, a second positioning hole 102, and a sixth positioning hole 103.

[0045] The first component that needs to be fixed to the base is the headrest. The headrest is composed of several stacked pillowcases. The number of pillowcases needed depends entirely on the user's body size. The standard for determining the number of pillowcases is that the height of the headrest formed by the stacked pillowcases should be sufficient to ensure that the posterior midline of the skull, the posterior midline of the cervical spine, and the posterior midline of the thoracic spine are aligned when the user is lying on their side. The headrest can also be used independently without being fixed to the base.

[0046] A thoracic pillow is composed of stacked thoracic pads, but the thoracic pad is not a separate component. It extends from the central area of ​​the pillow pad (the supine position) towards the thoracic spine, making it an integral part of the pillow. The pre-made pillow pads are numbered samples from 01 to 50. With each increase in the number, the length of the thoracic pad extending from the central area increases slightly (samples show 6 mm). Stacking the pillow pads forms a headrest, and simultaneously, stacking the thoracic pads forms the thoracic pillow. The increasing length of each pad creates a slope or ramp. This ramp is integrated with the headrest at the top and extends downwards along the thoracic spine, gradually decreasing in height until it reaches zero at the bottom. When the user is supine, this slope corresponds to the user's back. This slope formed by the stacked thoracic pads is the thoracic pillow. The function of the thoracic pillow is to support the user's thoracic spine, restoring it to the natural physiological curvature of the human body, and allowing the user to relax and stretch under gravity.

[0047] Normally, a cervical pillow consists of a cervical pad and a pillow pad. Although the cervical pad is a separate component, the headrest and thoracic pillow parts of a combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow are integrated. When the user lies supine, the cervical spine is positioned between the supine area of ​​the headrest and the thoracic pillow, marked by two cervical pillow positioning holes. The cervical pad also has two identical positioning holes. When installing the cervical pad, the positioning holes on the cervical pad must be aligned with those on the pillow pad, and each cervical pad must be installed under the pillow pad with the same number. The number of cervical pads installed depends on the user's body size. The standard for determining the number of cervical pads is that the combined cervical pad and pillow pad, when forming a cervical pillow, should have an upward protrusion height and dimensions that support the user in a supine position, conforming to the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine and allowing it to relax under gravity. However, in special circumstances, cervical pads can be stacked directly and installed above the corresponding position on the headrest; cervical pads can also be stacked directly without being combined with the headrest to form a cervical pillow, which can be used independently of the headrest.

[0048] Finally, the lumbar support pillow needs to be assembled and fixed to the base. The lumbar support pillow is composed of several stacked lumbar support pads. The number of pads needed to form the pillow's height, as well as the length and width of each pad, are entirely determined by the user's body size. The standard for determining the number and dimensions of the pads is that the stacked lumbar support pillow should support the user in a supine position, allowing the lumbar spine to return to its natural physiological curvature and achieve a relaxed or stretched state under gravity. It's also important to emphasize that the distance between the lumbar and cervical support pads in the combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow must conform to the user's cervical to lumbar spine dimensions. Furthermore, the lumbar support pillow can be used independently without being fixed to the base.

[0049] Application methods of the combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow

[0050] The modular three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is a medical and health care device. However, anyone wishing to use this device to treat ailments and maintain their health must first consult a medical or health care professional. Using specific testing methods, the professional must select components from a pre-fabricated set that fit their body size for configuration. To select components that fit the user's body size, the user must personally test the device; this cannot be done by someone else. Furthermore, the testing must be conducted according to the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: Determine the required number of pillowcases through testing.

[0052] The height of the headrest portion of the combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is formed by stacking the pillow pads. It is necessary to test how many pillow pads, stacked together, can support the head in a side-lying sleeping position to achieve the following: the posterior midline of the skull, the posterior midline of the cervical spine, and the posterior midline of the thoracic spine form a straight line. After obtaining the exact number of pillow pads required through testing, it is essential to strictly adhere to this requirement.

[0053] Step 2: Determine the components of the cervical pillow through testing.

[0054] The cervical pillow section of the modular three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow consists of a combination of a pillow pad and a cervical pad. Because users have different body sizes and varying total lengths of the cervical spine, the length of the pillow pad extending from the supine position towards the thoracic spine increases progressively with each piece. Only through physical testing can it be determined which cervical pads, combined with the pillow pad, can effectively support the user's cervical spine and achieve a physiological curvature that conforms to the natural development of the human body.

[0055] To reduce the number of times parts need to be changed during testing, a body value mapping table has been created. Users can refer to this table for configuration instructions during testing.

[0056]

[0057]

[0058] Step 3: Determine the components of the thoracic spine through testing.

[0059] The thoracic pillow section of the modular three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is composed of stacked thoracic cushions. Because the thoracic cushions and pillow pads are integrated, the thoracic pillow and headrest are also integrated. Furthermore, there is a cervical pillow between the thoracic pillow and headrest, making the headrest, cervical pillow, and thoracic pillow a unified whole, each with its own structural components. In the first step, the required number of cushions was determined through testing, a result that must be adhered to. In the second step, suitable cushions were selected through testing and combined with cervical cushions of the same number to form the cervical pillow. Under normal circumstances, simply follow the pillow numbering system used in the cervical pillow, sequentially selecting the required number of cushions while adhering to the test results from the first step to assemble the thoracic pillow. However, the longitudinal length of the thoracic pillow can be adjusted. In special cases, only cushions with odd or even numbers can be used to assemble the thoracic pillow, increasing its longitudinal length. Alternatively, two cushions of the same number can be used, reducing the longitudinal length of the thoracic pillow.

[0060] Step 4: Determine the components of the lumbar pillow through testing.

[0061] The lumbar spine pillow in a modular three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is composed of stacked lumbar spine pads. Since each lumbar spine pad is an independent component, under normal circumstances, you only need to obtain the required number of pads and their individual numbers through testing to assemble the pillow. However, even with the same height and number of pads, the longitudinal length can still be adjusted. Similar to adjusting the length of a thoracic spine pillow, you can use only pads with odd or even numbers to assemble the pillow, thus increasing its longitudinal length. Alternatively, you can use two pads with the same number to reduce the longitudinal length. During testing, you can use the pad with the same number as the top pad as the top layer, and then sequentially select the required number of pads downwards for testing, reducing the number of adjustments needed. When installing the lumbar spine pillow onto the base pad, note that: 1. The thoracic and lumbar spine pillows should not be in contact. If there is a connection or stacking, at least one of them must be shortened in longitudinal length. 2. The distance between the lumbar pillow and the cervical pillow should be appropriate for the user's body size.

[0062] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
