Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation exercise auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to an exercise device for postpartum pelvic floor muscle contraction rehabilitation. Background Technology

[0002] Postpartum, the pelvic floor muscles and fascia lose elasticity due to expansion, and some muscle fibers often rupture. With consistent postpartum rehabilitation exercises, the pelvic floor muscles can recover to near their pre-pregnancy state, thereby reducing the occurrence of pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence, among other pelvic floor dysfunction disorders.

[0003] Currently, there are many patented technologies and products for pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation exercises. For example, Chinese patent CN115155019A discloses a postpartum pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training device. It can adaptively adjust through an anti-slip strap device, making it suitable for people with different leg widths and ensuring that it will not fall off during exercise. At the same time, the auxiliary rod group can provide upper and lower limit fixation, making it easy for the hands to hold and adjust, and also convenient for beginners to practice with assistance, making the force line more stable during exercise.

[0004] However, existing pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training devices still have the following drawbacks: 1. They only involve leg-clamping movements, and in many cases, the exerciser's legs are mainly involved in the movement, resulting in poor pelvic floor muscle training and the pelvic floor muscles remaining in a state of loss of elasticity, leading to poor recovery; 2. Some recovery methods are usually electrical stimulation therapy, but electrical stimulation can put a lot of psychological pressure on patients and affect their rehabilitation training.

[0005] Therefore, an exercise device for postpartum pelvic floor muscle contraction rehabilitation was proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a postpartum pelvic floor muscle contraction rehabilitation exercise device that is effortless to use, provides more accurate and direct pelvic floor muscle exercises, and is easy and safe to use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model provides an exercise device for postpartum pelvic floor muscle contraction rehabilitation, including an inflatable ball and a hose. One end of the hose is connected to the inflatable ball, and the other end is closed. The circumferential wall of the hose near the closed end is provided with a front convex surface and a rear convex surface that are in contact with the wall surface.

[0009] Preferably, the inflatable ball is provided with a rod ring on its top, and a rod for supporting the inflatable ball is inserted into the rod ring.

[0010] Preferably, the wall thickness of the front convex surface and the wall thickness of the rear convex surface are both less than the wall thickness of the hose and the wall thickness of the inflatable ball.

[0011] Preferably, the front convex surface and / or the rear convex surface are provided with protrusions.

[0012] Preferably, the postpartum pelvic floor muscle contraction rehabilitation exercise device further includes an air valve for inflation and deflation, the air valve being connected to the inflation ball or to the closed end of the hose.

[0013] Preferably, the air valve is a type commonly used on swimming rings.

[0014] Preferably, the inflatable ball is spherical or ellipsoidal in shape.

[0015] Preferably, the wall thickness of the inflatable ball and the hose is 2mm to 3mm, and the wall thickness of the front convex surface and the rear convex surface is 1mm to 1.8mm.

[0016] Preferably, the wall thickness of both the inflatable ball and the hose is 2.5 mm, and the wall thickness of both the front convex surface and the rear convex surface is 1.4 mm.

[0017] Preferably, both the inflatable ball and the hose are made of rubber or soft PVC plastic.

[0018] Preferably, the rod is a rigid PVC pipe or a polypropylene plastic pipe.

[0019] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. This utility model is used during exercise. After applying a small force to the inflatable ball through the leg-clamping action, the ball can further expand and act directly on the pelvic floor muscle area of ​​the exerciser through the anterior and posterior convex surfaces that are far apart at the top. This makes the stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles more accurate and direct, making rehabilitation exercises less strenuous. At the same time, the pelvic floor muscles can easily achieve more complete contraction, which is beneficial to improving the effect of rehabilitation exercises.

[0021] 2. Due to the synergistic effect of leg-clamping exercises and stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles, this invention achieves more complete contraction exercises of the pelvic floor muscles without relying on excessive leg-clamping force. This not only makes the rehabilitation exercise process easier, but also helps to avoid the risk of injury caused by excessive exertion in postpartum exercisers.

[0022] 3. This utility model, by setting a rod on the inflatable ball, and through the supporting effect of the rod on the thigh surface, helps to prevent the inflatable ball from falling during exercise, makes it easier for the exerciser to use the utility model, and also helps the exerciser to concentrate on the exercise.

[0023] 4. The front and rear convex surfaces of this utility model are provided with protrusions, which are beneficial to further enhance the stimulation effect of the front and rear convex surfaces.

[0024] 5. This utility model, through the setting of an air valve, is beneficial to regulate the air pressure inside the inflatable ball, thereby achieving the adjustment of exercise intensity.

[0025] 6. This utility model has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to use. Attached Figure Description

[0033] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0034] The specific implementation method is described below:

[0035] This utility model provides an embodiment of an exercise device for postpartum pelvic floor muscle contraction rehabilitation. See [link to embodiment]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The device includes a hose 1 and an elliptical inflatable ball 10. The front end of the inflatable ball 10 is connected to an air valve 6, and a rod ring 11 is provided on it. A rod 7 for supporting the inflatable ball 10 is inserted into the rod ring 11. One end of the hose 1 is connected to the inflatable ball 10, and the other end is closed. The circumferential wall of the hose 1 near the closed end is provided with a front convex surface 2 and a rear convex surface 3 that are in contact with the wall surface. The front convex surface 2 and the rear convex surface 3 are provided with protrusions 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the inflatable ball 10 and the hose 1 is 2.5 mm, and the wall thickness of the front convex surface 2 and the rear convex surface 3 is 1.4 mm. The inflatable ball 10 and the hose 1 are both made of rubber or soft PVC plastic. The rod 7 is selected as a rigid PVC pipe with a diameter of 22 mm and a wall thickness greater than 1 mm, or a polypropylene plastic pipe. The inner diameter of the insertion ring 11 is selected such that the rod 7 does not easily slip out after being inserted into the insertion ring 11.

[0037] When using this invention, the exerciser places the inflatable ball 10 between the thighs, places the rod 7 in the middle of the upper thigh, sits on the closed end of the flexible tube 1 in a seated position, and faces the convex front surface 2 and the convex back surface 3 toward the pelvic floor muscle area. Then, following the exercise plan recommended by medical staff, the leg-clamping action is repeated.

[0038] The principle behind using this invention to achieve pelvic floor muscle contraction exercises:

[0039] On the one hand, during the resistance training of leg-clamping exercises, the pelvic floor muscles participate in the contraction exercise; on the other hand, during the leg-clamping exercise, because the inflatable balloon 10 is connected to the flexible tube 1, the repeated compression of the exerciser's thigh against the inflatable balloon 10 causes changes in the pressure inside the flexible tube 1, resulting in changes in the volume of the anterior convex surface 2 and the posterior convex surface 3. As the volume of the anterior convex surface 2 and the posterior convex surface 3 increases, they will compress each other, causing the upper parts of the anterior convex surface 2 and the posterior convex surface 3 to move away. After the volume decreases, they will move closer together under their own elasticity, that is, an alternating change of position moving away and moving closer occurs (see...). Figure 1 , Figure 4 This allows the anterior convex surface 2 and posterior convex surface 3 to simultaneously press and stimulate the pelvic floor muscles during leg-clamping exercises. As a result, the exerciser unconsciously tightens the pelvic floor muscles under the stimulation of the anterior convex surface 2 and posterior convex surface 3. After the stimulation is removed, the pelvic floor muscles relax. In this way, the leg-clamping action combined with direct stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles can achieve a better pelvic floor muscle contraction rehabilitation exercise effect during repeated exercises.

[0040] To achieve better training results, it is best for trainees to wear thinner and softer pants, which can reduce the stimulation and obstruction of the anterior convex surface 2 and posterior convex surface 3 by the pants.

[0041] The above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
