Description

Traction treatment device with adjustable neck angle

The present invention relates to a neck angle control traction therapy device, and in particular, a neck angle control traction therapy device that can maximize the neck traction treatment effect by adjusting the bending and extension angle of the neck according to the symptoms of a patient with neck disc disease. it's about

In general, the cervical vertebrae are composed of seven cervical vertebrae that support the head from the spine to the upper part of the thoracic vertebrae.

The cervical vertebrae are curved slightly forward in the upper thoracic vertebrae, so they are the part that receives the most weight from the head when standing or sitting for a long time, especially when working for a long time. As it is displaced or displaced, it compresses the intervertebral cartilage between the cervical vertebrae, causing pain and bad symptoms that extend to other parts of the body connected by the nervous system.

In order to correct this abnormally deformed cervical spine, so far, acupressure, massage, acupuncture, and moxibustion have been treated at oriental clinics, and in hospitals, physical therapy and traction therapy, along with chiropractic and tuna therapy, have been used. However, as a result of observing the treated patients, oriental medicine treatment, spinal adjustment therapy, and tuna therapy mainly relieve the hardened muscles of the cervical vertebrae and correct the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae. There is a problem that only causes pain due to traction in a straight line without considering the normal state of the curve of the bone, and the displaced and displaced cervical vertebrae cannot be corrected to their normal position, so there is a problem that continues to recur.

For example, among human body parts, cervical vertebrae refers to the upper part of the spine and vertebrae located in the neck of the human body. .

Existing cervical diseases include cervical sprain, cervical disc herniation, cervical fracture, cervical stenosis, posterior longitudinal ligament ossification, and spinal tumor, among which the most common diseases are cervical sprain and cervical disc herniation.

A cervical sprain occurs when the muscles or ligaments that support the cervical vertebrae are abnormally tense or relaxed, or when the cervical vertebrae are hyperextended or hyperflexed by an external force, twisted or compressed by an axis. The back is stretched or torn, causing swelling and pain.

In addition, cervical disc herniation, also called a cervical disc, is a disease caused by degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc. Cervical disc herniation may be caused by trauma or chronic stimulation, and may occur degeneratively as aging progresses, or may occur acutely when maintaining a fixed state in an improper posture for a long time in daily life.

The stiffness or relaxation of the neck muscles is preferably treated using a physical therapy means that delivers physical stimulation, and in this regard, a brace capable of traction of the cervical spine has been proposed in Patent Documents 0001 to 0003 and the like.

Patent Document 0001 relates to a new type of cervical vertebrae corrector that can support both sides of the cervical vertebrae in a balanced manner by using two height adjustment devices on both sides, and can be supported in a biased form if necessary, Both sides of the cervical vertebrae of the neck can be supported in a balanced and stable manner, and there is an advantage that it can be effectively and widely applied to wearers of various body types.

Patent Document 0002 discloses a traction body in which an insertion part to be inserted into the user's neck is formed, a fixing protrusion protruding from the side of the insertion part, a slider slidably installed on the fixing protrusion, and a length-adjustable protruding protrusion on the upper side of the slider. It relates to a neck traction fixture comprising a variable support installed in a state, and a chin support installed on the variable support and raised or lowered to support the user's chin, wherein the traction body is inserted and fixed to the user's neck, and the chin support There is an advantage that it is possible to properly adjust the position of the slider and the variable support in a state in which the user's chin is stably supported using

Patent Literature 0003 discloses that it is convenient to carry and traction work of the cervical spine is convenient and certain, and even if the wearer's physical condition is different, the occipital bone is closely attached to the wearer to improve the fit, and the cervical vertebrae during or after traction. It relates to a functional cervical orthosis that can provide high-quality, high-quality traction treatment that can fully perform supportive activities.

Patent Documents 0001 to 0003 have the advantage that the user's neck can be properly traction, but the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high, and the neck traction cannot be traction by adjusting the bending angle of the neck according to the symptoms of the user's neck disc disease. There are problems that have limitations in treatment.
