DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a body traction machine and a body traction method for pulling a cervical vertebra, a lumbar spine, a hip joint, and a knee joint in a supine position without tying the body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, regarding the human body,
In the field of orthopedics, traction therapy is widely applied to various diseases. That is, reduction of fracture and dislocation and maintenance of reduction position, local rest and maintenance of good limb position for joint disease, especially arthritis, correction of joint contracture, correction of deformation in spine disease,
It is used for reduction of vertebral fractures and dislocations, and for keeping the spine and spinal cord at rest.

There are two types of traction methods: service traction and direct traction. In manual traction, a belt with a sponge is applied to the affected limb, an elastic bandage is wound and fixed thereon, and traction is applied by pulleys and weights. There is also a hanging towing method for pulling up and down by own weight. Direct traction involves inserting a Kirschner wire into the bone and then installing a tension bow to add traction.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned manual traction, it is impossible to exert a strong traction force, and in addition, a method is employed in which all the body is tied for the traction. For this reason, discomfort also accompanies the patient, and the trace of the instrument remains on the body even after towing, which is not preferable. In addition, once the body is tied to the bed, it is difficult to remove it easily, it is inconvenient for stools and meals, etc.In addition, manual operations are required for traction such as winding of elastic bandage and adjustment of traction. It was necessary and could not be done easily by one patient. Moreover, in the case of a hanging health device, it is necessary to support the whole body weight with only both hands, and there is a problem that it can be hung for only 2 to 5 minutes, that is, cannot be towed. In addition, direct traction is capable of powerful traction, but is not easy to use because it requires surgery to insert Kirschner wire into the bone.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a traction machine and a traction method for pulling a body in a supine position so as to separate a head and a foot without binding the body. It is. It is another object of the present invention to provide a towing machine and a towing method in which the towed person can easily start and release the towing and adjust the towing force with one lever.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a body traction machine of the present invention has an adjustable length holding the ankle, the back of the head, the lower jaw and the upper arm side when the body is towed. Having a belt, the bed floorboard is partially moved, and the body traction method of the present invention is a body traction method in a supine posture, in the ankle part of the body, a wide holding belt is formed into a cross loop, A holding method in which a parallel belt passing through both upper shoulders and both axillary parts forms a loop in the back, respectively, in the chest of the body, by inserting from the toes into the belt loop and holding the ankle part without binding,
Further, the gist of the present invention is to pull the cervical vertebra, lumbar spine, hip joint, and knee joint while holding the back of the head or the jaw in a loop with a hull-shaped holding belt formed of a thick member about twice as wide as the holding belt.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The frame may be made of any material such as wood, metal, resin, etc., as long as it has some strength. However, the floorboard is preferably made of a slightly hard material because the body should not sink much. In addition, since the holding belts of the ankle, the chest, the chin, and the back of the head touch the skin and have softness and need to tow the body, a thick cloth or synthetic fiber of 2 to 3 mm is preferable. It is preferable that the holding brackets for the chest and ankles are both located approximately 20 cm above the floor plate and that the hull-shaped holding belt at the head is located further 10 to 20 cm above.

There are several possible driving methods for the floorboard.
Any method may be used, whether manual or automatic. As a conceivable method of moving one floor plate, a driving sprocket and an idle sprocket are arranged, and both ends of the chain wound by engaging with these sprockets are pivotally attached to the connected slide plates, There is a type in which a driving shaft on which the driving sprocket is keyed is rotated by a required angle by operating a handle to move a slide plate a predetermined distance horizontally from the driving sprocket via a chain.

A belt and a pulley may be used instead of the sprocket and the chain. As a method of moving two floor plates, a method in which a drive shaft is rotated by swinging a handle and this rotation is transmitted to a screw shaft to move a nut body screwed to the screw shaft is considered.
By changing the pitch of the screws (2) and (2b), the floor plate can be moved as shown in FIG.

The foot board 6 provided with two fixing fittings (8a1 a2 8b1 b2) is provided with a toe fixing fitting 4a4b. In addition,
The distance between the two fixtures 4a is 15 cm. The chest holding belt 5c is for holding the upper body,
A cotton rope of length 5 and width 2 and thickness 2 is used. The length of the end of the chest holding belt 5c can be adjusted with Velcro. The chin or head holding belt has a chin or head holding belt 8c formed by forming a cotton tape having a width of 10 and a length of 50 at the chin or occipital contact portion in a boat shape. The length of the head holding belt 8c can also be adjusted using a magic tape at the end.

As shown in FIG. 5, the moving mechanism transmits the swing of the handle to the drive shaft 14 via the screw gear 13 to the pinion 12 via the fan gear 11. At this time, the way of cutting the screw of the drive shaft 14 is made different between 14a and 14b, and
The cutting method is such that the moving width is larger than that of 4b.
By doing so, the nut body 15 screwed to the drive shaft can be set to a desired degree, that is, the floor plate 2a is about 20 cm, and the floor plate 2b is
It can be moved about cm.

As a specific method of using such a body traction machine, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 (b), a patient is put on a holding belt on both feet and the chest. This method of retraction of the chest and both feet is suitable mainly for treatment of diseases of the knee joint, hip joint, low back pain and spine. When the belt is set on each part of the body, the patient himself operates the moving lever 3 at the center of the side of the bed frame to move the floorboard as shown in FIG. As a result, the body is towed, just stop pulling the lever when the ankle has lifted 3 cm to 5 cm, and continue to be pulled for 7 to 20 minutes.

[0016] Such a traction method was applied to a 65-year-old woman who had complained of knee pain so that the engine of a motorcycle could not be started, once or twice a week for about 15 minutes, and the knee joint was towed.
As a result, in the third week, the knee pain was gone without any problems, and the engine of the motorcycle was started. As described above, the present invention exerts a great effect particularly in the treatment of the knee joint.

[Embodiment 2] Using the same machine as in Embodiment 1, without pulling the chest, FIG.
As shown in (a), put a holding belt on both toes and jaws,
Mainly traction of the cervical spine. At this time, when a belt is applied to the jaw, the use of the pillow 10 as shown in FIG. It is preferable to use the metal fittings on both sides, such as a combination of 8a1 and 8b1 for a large person, and to use the inner metal fitting of 8a2 and 8b2 for a small person. In some cases, it may be effective to perform towing with the back of the head held, as shown in FIG. 3C, instead of holding the jaw, depending on the person. That is, in traction of the cervical vertebra, it is necessary to perform traction so as to make an angle between the spine and the cervical vertebra. In traction of the cervical vertebra, around the seventh cervical vertebra and around the eighth of the thoracic vertebra are well pulled, and the numbness of the hand can be removed. When such a body traction was applied to a 56-year-old man who had complained of numbness of the left arm due to cervical vertebra compression three times every few days, numbness and pain of the left arm were completely cured.

[Embodiment 3] The moving floor plate in the embodiment is a single 2d plate as shown in FIG. 6, and the driving sprocket 16 and the idle sprocket 17 are used as the moving mechanism as shown in FIG. The chain 18 which is arranged and engaged with these sprockets and having both ends pivotally attached to the movable floor plate 2d is used. Further, the patient was not held in the neck, and only the toes and the chest were towed as shown in FIG. 3 (c). This method was applied to a 70-year-old man with severe knee pain every other day for 7 minutes to 20 minutes according to the condition of the day. After 4 months, the pain relieved considerably and severe pain did not occur during walking. . In addition, when a 60-year-old woman suffering from low back pain was applied once a week for 12 to 15 minutes by the same method, the lower back pain disappeared after each tow, and the number of back pain itself decreased from around the second month.

[0019]

As described above, if the body traction machine of the present invention is used, the body can be moved 15 to 15 without binding the body.
The lumbar spine, hip joint, knee joint, and cervical spine can be towed by about 20 cm, which is effective for lower back pain, knee pain, gait disturbance, neck and shoulder stiffness, and numbness of limbs.
In addition, the body traction machine of the present invention is convenient because the entire process from setting the holding belt to the body to adjusting the movement of the bed floor can be performed by a single towed patient. Suspension and restart of towing can be easily performed. Therefore, there is no discomfort for the towed person due to the non-restraint and dust, and there is no feeling of fatigue like a hanging health appliance. Further, the degree of traction can be easily changed even during traction, and fine traction according to symptoms and effects can be performed.
