| 摘要 |
The present invention, a lumbar-sacral vest furnishes professionals in the exercise field (physical therapists) with a new instrument, providing a more facilitating traction alternativ for the lumbar region (vertebral decompression). The vest (1) contains transversal belts (2), with rings (3 and 4) on the shoulders, and is strapped onto the patient (at the thoracic abdominal region) and suspended by the rings, through the use of lifters (5), girdles or chains on a bar (6) or hooks fastened to the ceiling, at the discretion of the therapist, in addition to a bar (8) at the thoracic level, sustained by fixed lifters also on the transversal bar (6). The patient remains orthostatic (suspended) by the vest, and lumbar traction will be achieved, due to the force of gravity, by his or her body weight. Extra weights may be added to both ankles. |
