Abstract
Description
A combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical rehabilitation, in particular to a combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow. Background Art
[0002] The development of medical technology has now given us a clear understanding of the structure of the human body. The human spine is a chain-like structure composed of bones, which can be divided into five parts: the cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, and coccyx. The cervical vertebrae are composed of seven cones, protruding forward and concave at the back. From the left and right sides, the seven cervical vertebrae do not form a straight line, but a curved arc. The thoracic vertebrae are composed of twelve cones, protruding toward the back and concave at the front. From the left and right sides, the twelve thoracic vertebrae do not form a straight line, but a curved arc, and the curvature is opposite to that of the cervical vertebrae. The lumbar vertebrae are composed of five cones, protruding forward and concave at the back. From the left and right sides, the five lumbar vertebrae do not form a straight line, but a curved arc, and the curvature is opposite to that of the thoracic vertebrae.
[0003] As we age, the human body naturally ages. Various diseases can develop in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae of the human spine. Some people develop these diseases due to years of hard work, while others suffer injuries to certain parts of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae in accidents. There are over a hundred types of injuries to the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae. When treating these areas, medical professionals often recommend that patients use devices or other methods to support the injured area, returning it to its naturally developed curvature. This is to create favorable conditions for recovery. However, existing medical devices are not very effective, so the combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow was designed and invented to provide favorable support for the patient's cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae. The patient's cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae are allowed to return to the physiological curvature naturally developed by the human body at the same time, and at the same time achieve a state of complete stretch and relaxation; creating favorable conditions for the recovery of injuries to any part of the human cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae.

[0038] As a preferred implementation scheme of this embodiment, the cervical vertebrae pad 4 is installed under the pillow pad 2, and the sixth positioning hole 103 is matched and connected with the fourth positioning hole 203 and the seventh positioning hole 401.
[0039] As a preferred implementation scheme of this embodiment, the cervical pads 4 are provided in multiple groups, and the size of the pads in each group of cervical pads 4 increases piece by piece. The cervical pads 4 are stacked to form a trapezoidal platform structure. Each pillow pad 2 is matched with a group of cervical pads 4, and multiple groups of pillow pads 2 can be matched with cervical pads 4 at the same time.
[0040] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the cervical vertebra pad 4 can be directly stacked and installed on the pillow pad 2, and the sixth positioning hole 103 is connected with the fourth positioning hole 203 and the seventh positioning hole 401.
[0041] As a preferred implementation scheme of this embodiment, the base pad 1, pillow pad 2 and lumbar pad 3 are covered with multiple groups of therapeutic magnetic sheets.
[0042] When the present invention is implemented, the combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is composed of a base pad, a pillow pad, a cervical pad, a lumbar pad and a health and therapy magnet as main components, and is fixed with auxiliary materials such as binding belts, buttons, and buckles to achieve a three-dimensional shape including a headrest, a cervical pillow, a thoracic pillow, and a lumbar pillow, all of which are fixed on the base pad, providing favorable support to the human head, cervical vertebra, thoracic vertebra, and lumbar vertebra at the same time, achieving the goals of eliminating diseases of the cervical vertebra, thoracic vertebra, and lumbar vertebra, maintaining human health, and promoting sleep, eliminating fatigue, and restoring physical fitness.
[0043]
[0044] The structure of the combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is broken down: the bottom part is the base pad. The function of the base pad is to fix other parts, so there are first positioning holes 101, second positioning holes 102 and sixth positioning holes 103 on the base pad.
[0045] The first component that needs to be fixed to the base cushion is the headrest. This is composed of several stacked cushions. The number of cushions required is determined entirely by the user's body size. The standard for determining the number of cushions is: the height of the stacked cushions can support the user in a side-lying position, with the posterior midline of the skull aligned with the posterior midline of the cervical spine and the posterior midline of the thoracic spine. The headrest can also be used independently without being fixed to the base cushion.
[0046] The thoracic pillow is composed of stacked thoracic cushions, but the thoracic cushion is not a separate component. It extends from the central area of the pillow (the supine area) toward the thoracic spine, thus forming an integral part of the pillow. Prefabricated pillows are numbered samples, ranging from 01 to 50. Each increment in the pillow number increases the length of the thoracic cushion extending from the central area of the pillow, typically 6 mm. As the pillows are stacked to form the headrest, the thoracic cushions are also stacked to form the thoracic pillow. The length of each thoracic cushion increases, creating a slope. The top of this slope is integrated with the headrest and at the same height. It extends downward along the thoracic spine, gradually decreasing in height until it reaches zero. When the user lies supine, this slope corresponds to the user's back. This slope formed by the stacked thoracic cushions is the thoracic pillow. The function of the thoracic pillow is to support the user's thoracic spine, maximizing its natural curvature and allowing it to relax or stretch under the influence of gravity.
[0047] Under normal circumstances, a cervical pillow is composed of a cervical pad and a pillow pad. Although the cervical pad is an independent component, the headrest and thoracic pillow parts of the combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow are integrated. When the user lies on his back, the corresponding position of the cervical spine on the pillow pad is between the supine pillow area of the headrest and the thoracic pillow, and there are two cervical pillow positioning holes as a mark. There are also two identical positioning holes on the cervical pad. When installing the cervical pad, the positioning holes on the cervical pad and the cervical pillow positioning holes on the pillow pad should be aligned, and each cervical pad should be installed under the pillow pad with the same number. The number of cervical pads to be installed should be determined according to the user's body size. The standard for determining the number of cervical pads is: the cervical pad and the pillow pad are combined to form a cervical pillow. The height, length and width of the cervical pillow can support the user in a supine position. The cervical spine area conforms to the physiological curvature naturally grown by the human body and forms a stretched or relaxed state under the action of gravity. However, in special circumstances, the cervical cushions can also be directly stacked and installed above the corresponding position of the headrest; the cervical cushions can also be not combined with the pillow cushions, and several cervical cushions can be directly stacked to form a cervical pillow, which can be completely separated from the headrest and used independently.
[0048] Finally, the entire lumbar pillow must be assembled and fixed to the base pad. The lumbar pillow is composed of several stacked lumbar pads. The number of stacked lumbar pads required to form the height of the lumbar pillow, as well as the length and width specifications of each selected lumbar pad, are entirely determined by the user's body size. The standard for determining the number of lumbar pads and the length and width specifications is: the lumbar pillow formed by stacking lumbar pads can support the user in a supine position, allowing the lumbar spine to return to its naturally grown physiological curvature, and form a stretched or relaxed state under the action of gravity. It should also be emphasized that the distance from the lumbar pillow to the cervical pillow in the combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow must conform to the size of the user's cervical spine to lumbar spine. Moreover, the lumbar pillow can be used alone without being fixed to the base pad.
[0049] Application method of combined three-vertebrae rehabilitation pillow
[0050] The modular three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is a medical and healthcare device. However, anyone who wishes to use it to eliminate illness and maintain their health must first consult a medical or healthcare provider. Using specific testing methods, they must select prefabricated components that match their body size and then configure the device. To select the components that match the user's body size, the user must first undergo a personal test. This test cannot be performed by others, and must be performed according to the following steps:
[0051] Step One: Determine the number of pillows you need by testing.
[0052] The height of the headrest portion of the combination three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is determined by the stacking of cushions. Testing is required to determine how many cushions are needed to support the head while the user is sleeping on their side: the posterior midline of the skull forms a straight line with the posterior midlines of the cervical and thoracic vertebrae. Once the exact number of cushions required is determined through testing, it must be strictly adhered to.
[0053] Step 2: Determine the components of the cervical pillow through testing.
[0054] The cervical pillow portion of the modular three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is composed of a pillow pad and a cervical cushion. Due to varying body sizes and the overall length of the cervical spine, the central area of the cushion, extending toward the thoracic spine, is designed to extend incrementally from one pillow piece to the next. Only through physical testing can we determine which cervical cushions, combined with the pillow pad, are most effective in supporting the user's cervical spine and achieving the desired curvature that best reflects the body's natural development.
[0055] In order to reduce the number of parts replacement during testing, a body value correspondence table has been developed. When testing, you can refer to the prompts in this table for configuration:
[0056]
[0057]
[0058] Step 3: Determine the components of the thoracic spine through testing.
[0059] The thoracic pillow portion of the combined three-vertebra rehabilitation pillow is composed of stacked thoracic cushions. Because the thoracic cushion and bolster are integrated, the thoracic pillow and headrest are also integrated. Furthermore, there's a cervical pillow between the thoracic and headrest components. Therefore, the headrest, cervical, and thoracic pillows are all integrated, though each has its own unique structure. 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 to form the cervical pillow together with the same-numbered cervical cushions. Under normal circumstances, the thoracic pillow can be constructed by simply following the number of cushions used for the cervical pillow and obtaining the required number of cushions in accordance with the results of the first test. However, the longitudinal length of the thoracic pillow is adjustable. In special cases, the thoracic pillow can be constructed using only odd- or even-numbered cushions, thereby increasing the 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 pillow of a modular three-vertebrae rehabilitation pillow is composed of stacked lumbar cushions, each of which is a separate component. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the required number of lumbar cushions and the number of each cushion are determined through testing to assemble the pillow. However, while the lumbar pillow's height (i.e., the number of cushions required) remains unchanged, the longitudinal length can still be adjusted. Similar to adjusting the length of the thoracic pillow, the longitudinal length can be increased by using only lumbar cushions with odd or even numbers. Alternatively, the longitudinal length can be reduced by using two lumbar cushions with the same number. During testing, a lumbar cushion with the same number as the top cushion can be used as the top cushion, and the required number of cushions can be purchased in descending order of number. This reduces the need for replacements. When attaching the lumbar pillow to the base cushion, the following important points should be noted: 1. The thoracic and lumbar cushions must not touch. If they are connected or overlapped, the longitudinal length of at least one of them should be shortened. 2. The distance from the lumbar pillow to the cervical pillow should be consistent with the user's body size.
[0062] The present invention and its embodiments are described above. This description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the purpose of the present invention, designs structures and embodiments similar to this technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
