LUMBAR RECOVERY BED BACK SUPPORT HAVING THREE CURVED SURFACES MATCHING NATURAL PHYSIOLOGICAL CURVATURE

Abstract

A bed-cushion back-support (1) for lumbar recovery having three curved surfaces matching natural physiological curvature matches the natural curvature of the lower backbone of the human body and includes a convex surface (3) for the lumbar vertebrae, and reverse concave surfaces (2,4) for the sacral and lower thoracic vertebrae. The curved bed-surface formed by fixing the bed-cushion back-support on the bed board exactly matches the natural curvature of the backbone of a patient, and provides effective support to the backbone below the midportion of the thoracic vertebrae. With the effect of gravity on the human body, long-term use of the bed-cushion back-support provides long-term traction for an injured backbone, correcting deformities and restoring the functions of the lumbar vertebrae and surrounding tissues.

Claims

1. A method for forming a bed back support for recovery of lumbar vertebrae of a patient, the method comprising: measuring a lower vertebrae of the patient, the lower vertebrae comprising a lower thoracic vertebrae, a lumbar vertebrae, and a sacral vertebrae, determining a desired curvature of the lower vertebrae of the patient, building a bed back support according to the natural curvature of the patient, wherein the bed back support comprises a top surface for supporting the lower vertebrae, wherein the top surface comprises a unitary surface with three curves according to the desired curvature, comprising a first concave curve to support a lower thoracic vertebrae, a second convex curve to support a lumbar vertebrae, and a third concave curve to support a sacral vertebrae which reverse direction in a continuous manner to match the desired curvature of the patient, wherein the first concave curve is continuously joined to the second convex curve and the second convex curve is continuously joined to the third concave curve.

2. The method claim 1 further comprising: measuring a height, length, and curvature of lower vertebrae of the patient to obtain patient measurements.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein back bed support further comprises a bed board that provides a flat, rigid, bottom surface.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the top surface is cambered.

EMBODIMENTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0016] During use, the sufferer aligns the highest point of the convex surface of the bed back support with his lumbar vertebrae, ensuring that it fits the natural physiological curvature of his lumbar vertebrae completely; this allows deformed lumbar vertebrae to be corrected to the greatest extent possible. See FIG. 2. A back support that is too low will be unable to correct the curvature of the vertebrae effectively, while a back support that is too high or has curved surfaces in the wrong positions will also be unable to correct the vertebrae effectively, and give rise to feelings of discomfort.

[0017] Since each sufferer has a different height, weight and physique, the length and physiological curvature of their backbones will also be different. Moreover, the degree of damage to the vertebrae is different for each sufferer, so that the degree of correction required is also different. Therefore the illness of the lumbar vertebrae can only be afforded the most effective treatment if a unique back support that is completely suited to the sufferer's particular illness is made, in accordance with a precise length, height and curvature of the backbone. Thus the body of the sufferer must be measured accurately and the disorder of the lumbar vertebrae diagnosed accurately, and a suitable back support made accordingly to ensure that the objectives of effectiveness and comfort are achieved when each back support is used.

INDUSTRIAL USABILITY

[0018] The present utility model provides a more effective solution, having designed a more advanced back support for the lumbar vertebrae. It has a simpler structure, is more convenient to use, and is more effective at accomplishing correction of the curvature of the lumbar vertebrae and restoring the function of the lumbar vertebrae, thereby achieving the objective of curing lumbar intervertebral disc herniation and other illnesses of the lumbar vertebrae.
