Description

Stabilizer for static motion generated by sound waves

The present patent application for industrial invention relates to a stabilizer for a static posture which generates vibration by sound waves.

As is well known, individuals who are unable to maintain a vertical position typically utilize the help of a stabilizer that is intended to support them using the following dual functions: practice and obtain an autonomous vertical posture; maintain a vertical posture with a double foot load, As an alternative to an independent posture that would otherwise be impossible.

The stabilizer allows the disabled patient to remain in a vertical position completely safely (by supporting their support), stabilizing the body's three basic points: the foot, which is placed on the adjustable footrest to ensure the best a foot support; a knee disposed on the adjustable support member, the adjustable support member being adjustable according to different requirements and characteristics of the patient to prevent the joint from collapsing; the pelvis trunk supported by the corresponding support member, The support can be adjusted generally based on height, width, depth and rotation, allowing the patient to maintain a safe position and a more correct posture.

By ensuring stability in these three points of the body, the patient is autonomous and safe Keep the ground in a vertical position without any other help.

As is well known, conventional stabilizers are compromised by a serious disorder in which the patient has poor acceptability of the stabilizer, which the patient typically refuses to use.

In particular, this is due, in fact, to the fact that typical stabilizers are equipped with systems for securing the patient's body, which in this way limit the freedom of movement of the user and become unbearable. This phenomenon is especially true in the case of smaller children who do not accept similar constraints for a certain period of time in their lives, during which time they tend to “explore” the surrounding space and have a lower ability to adapt. In the position of being forced.

A typical stabilizer includes a foot pedal on which a vertical frame is mounted to secure a patient against the vertical frame after stepping on the foot pedal. Such a frame is composed of uprights, wherein the beams are placed between the columns at different heights, wherein the height is adjustable, and the frame is provided with members for use in the foot, knee, pelvic region and chest of the patient The height of the area restrains the patient's body. Thus, it is easy to understand the sensation of the user's perceived constraints on similar devices, and especially the impatientness of the child in the event of such a huge limitation on their athletic ability.

A careful examination of the prior art and its specific obstacles has resulted in a stabilizer of the present invention that remedies the above problems, thereby making the child more tolerant of this constraint permanently on the stabilizer.

The creative idea of the present creation provides a stabilizer for the creation, the stabilizer having a foot pedal capable of generating vibration at a musical rhythm, transmitting the vibration to the vertical frame, wherein the patient is placed against the vertical frame And positioning. In detail, such vibrations are transmitted by a device to The foot pedal, the device is capable of vibrating when it receives audio signals from an external source.

The vibration transmitted to the vertical frame of the stabilizer is also transmitted to the limbs of the patient fixed against the frame, thereby producing a pleasant evoked reflection, which is particularly useful for transferring the child's attention from the state in which it is restrained, thereby making the lasting stable The device becomes more tolerable.

The two first cylindrical tubes (3a) are designed to slidably receive the vertical rods of the first door-like structure (4), and the first door-like structure (4) is provided with a cross-piece, which is intended to be used To secure the first filler panel (5), the first filler panel (5) is intended to abut the patient's waist region to rest the patient's waist region against the stabilizer (S).

Providing the ability of the first door-like structure (4) to slide vertically relative to the two first cylindrical tubes (3a) to adjust the height of the first packing plate (5) to the time using the stabilizer (S) the height of.

The two second tubes (3b) and the two third tubes (3c) of the uprights (3) are intended to slidably receive the vertical sections of the second portal structure (6). Each vertical segment of the second portal structure (6) is formed by a pair of parallel rods (6', 6") that are joined together and intended to be inserted into the second cylinder In the tube (3b) and the third cylindrical tube (3c). The pair of rods comprises a first rod (6') intended to be inserted into a corresponding second cylindrical tube (3b) and the second rod (6") is intended to be inserted into a third cylindrical rod ( 3c).

The two first rods (6') are connected at the top by a beam (6b) which supports the second plate (7), the second plate (7) intended to abut the patient's shoulder region, so that the patient's shoulder region Docked on it.

Two telescopic horizontal arms (8a) are fixed on top of the two second rods (6"), and two second rods (6") project toward the rear edge (1c) of the footboard (1). The telescoping horizontal arm (8a) supports a shelf (8) that can be used to support the patient's items and to allow the patient to position their arms.

The alternating sliding of the two vertical segments of the second portal structure (6) allows the operating height of the second filler panel (7) to be adjusted to the height of the patient using the stabilizer (S).

The two packing sheets (5, 7) are provided with corresponding strips (not shown in the accompanying drawings) which are intended to securely embrace the patient's torso and hold him or her in the desired vertical position.

The third beam (9) is slidably fixed between the column (3) of the stabilizer (S) and the frame (2). The third beam (9) is placed on the rear of the two columns (3), that is, towards the rear edge (1c) of the foot pedal (1).

Two filler seats (12) are mounted on the third beam (9) intended to receive the patient's knee on the foot pedal (1). The just insertion of the patient's knee in the seat (12) is possible only if the third beam (9) is fixed at a suitable height for the patient's height.

The fourth beam (10) is mounted on the opposite side of the two uprights (3), i.e. towards the front edge (1b) of the footrest (1). The fourth beam (10) is placed over the surface of the footboard (1). The function of the fourth beam (10) is to support two C-shaped brackets (13) horizontally, the two C-shaped brackets (13) being mounted with a concavity facing the rear edge of the foot pedal (1) ( 1c). The function of the stent (13) is to accurately receive the posterior portion of the patient's shoe and to encircle the patient's rear of the shoe on the stabilizer (S). The seat (12) for the knee of the patient and the bracket (13) for the shoe for the patient are additional restraining points for the stabilizer (S) relative to the body of the patient held in the upright position.

The foot pedal (1) is associated with a device (14) for diffusing sound or for diffusing sound waves under any circumstances, and the device (14) is intended to transmit vibration to the foot pedal (1) and to The frame above the foot pedal (2).

According to a preferred embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the device (14) comprises at least one audio converter or a speaker, the at least one audio converter or a speaker being intended to transmit vibrations according to an electrical signal having an audio type, wherein the telecommunications The number is sent to the converter. In this case, if the audio signal is a piece of music, the audio converter is based on a piece of music being played. Different vibrations are produced by the different strengths and characteristics of the instrument. The audio converter is mounted below the foot pedal (1) and is connected to an audio source disposed outside the stabilizer. The loudspeaker can be placed between the audio source and the audio converter.

The final effect is the transmission of the shock generated by the sound waves of the audio converter, wherein the transmission also goes to the frame (2) mounted on the footboard (1) and thus also to the patient's body that is constrained to the metal frame. The patient's body received some significant benefits.

In the case of using a loudspeaker connected to an audio source composed of a sound system capable of playing an audio file, the operation of the audio converter is activated, the sound wave is transmitted, and the vibration is generated and transmitted to the pedal by the audio converter (1) and transmitted to the frame (2). The patient's body receiving the vibration of the stabilizer (S) becomes a soundboard in this way, instead of being an unacceptable appliance that is considered to have physical limitations, in which the member for strictly connecting the patient to the frame (2) becomes A pleasant body stimulating vehicle that is generated by the propagation of sound waves and vibrations.

It has been shown that music and the vibrations produced by music always capture the attention of children, unlike other sensory stimuli, such as visual stimuli. In addition, the brain works better in conjunction with stimulating brain rhythm regions, motor responses, and reflected music. In addition, in the brain, certain connections exist between music and language.

Therefore, it can be said that the sensor (S) according to the present invention can significantly enhance the following through the sensory stimulation transmitted to the patient by the structure of the stabilizer and the motivational power through music: the child is treated with the same Active participation in the therapeutic campaign; participation of children with family members or peers in leisure activities (eg while watching a movie, using video games, listening to stories or music); Children and their parents' mental health, enhanced mental health allows them to share a positive experience with disabled children.

The stabilizer (S) ensures: the acceptance of help in the case of children with poor reactivity and collaboration; the increment of all treatments typical of traditional stabilizers; the increase in the number of stimuli perceived by the user, The stimulus is a stimulus to the vegetative nervous system, sensory and emotional systems of the child; the stimulation of neuromotor and sensory responses to the patient (eg, hypotonic, hypertonic or blind children or children with sensory impairments).

The known concept of the present stabilizer (S) relative to the stabilizer significantly changes the relationship between the use of rest posture and the help of the patient's posture: the conversion from aid to full passive to active; making the use of the stabilizer a pleasant one Playful moments; promote children's relationship with parents and peers; increase the likelihood of psychological cognitive development and autonomy; significantly limit the incidence of additional secondary complications (ulcer, hunchback and spinal deformity), such secondary Complications can usually occur over time without the use of stabilizers at an early stage.
