Rotating Vibration Processing Body for Fascial Adhesion Release
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As people age, muscle shortening and fascial adhesions lead to reduced mobility and arthrosis pain, making it difficult to maintain or regain mobility through conventional stretching exercises, especially for those less disciplined or sensitive to pain, as personal trainers are time-consuming and costly.
Innovation Solution
A mobility training device with a processing body that automatically moves along a vertical guide, offering massage, tapping, or vibration functions to loosen fascial adhesions and improve stretchability, featuring a rotatable and vibrational processing body with adjustable surfaces and a holding device for user stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional stretching exercises are performed to maintain or regain mobility, then muscle flexibility may be improved, but the training effort becomes disproportionate and time-consuming, especially with advancing age
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies mechanical vibration through a vibration unit that generates oscillating movements to act on the processing body during muscle treatment. This vibration enhances the mechanical processing effect, accelerates fascial adhesion release, and improves training efficiency without requiring additional time investment from the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The device enables self-service mobility training by providing automated processing that does not require a personal trainer. The control unit automatically controls the movement and processing actions, allowing users to perform effective muscle treatment independently, eliminating the need for scheduled appointments with trainers.
2Reliability
If a personal trainer is hired to provide support during stretching exercises, then motivation and training effectiveness are improved, but the cost and time commitment increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables self-service mobility training by providing automated processing that does not require a personal trainer. The control unit automatically controls the movement and processing actions, allowing users to perform effective muscle treatment independently, eliminating the need for scheduled appointments with trainers.
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates feedback mechanisms where the control unit monitors the processing conditions and automatically adjusts parameters to ensure optimal training effectiveness. This automated feedback system replaces the motivational and corrective feedback previously provided by personal trainers, maintaining reliability without requiring human intervention.
3Reliability
If intense stretching exercises are performed to approach or exceed the pain threshold, then a good training effect is achieved, but the physical effort and pain increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The vibration unit generates oscillating movements that enhance the mechanical processing effect on muscle fascia. This vibration facilitates adhesion release and improves tissue extensibility without requiring the user to endure intense stretching pain, achieving effective training results with reduced discomfort.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing body can rotate and change its processing surface dynamically during operation. The control unit adjusts the rotation and surface selection based on treatment progress, allowing the device to adapt to tissue response and maintain effective processing while minimizing pain by varying the mechanical action.
