A group of researchers found that the roller coaster ride type roller coaster can be helpful in kidney disease.
Urologist David Wartinger (David D. Wartinger) noticed that some of his patients told about the cure of small kidney stones after a visit to the roller coaster Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in the middle of the fun Disney world in Orlando. He also took into account the previously described cases, when moderate physical activity is promoted the cure. Against small stones have been effective trampolining, bungee jumping, riding a bike over rough terrain and even sneezing.
Wartinger and his colleagues from the University of Michigan went have gone to Disney world, taking with him printed on a 3D printer accurate anatomical model of the kidney with genuine renal stones and urine of the patient inside. The model was placed in a backpack, which the researchers rode on the attraction Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, holding him around the waist, where it would have to be a real kidney. After twenty trips they went for rides and Space Mountain Walt Disney World railroad, which also went around twenty times. After each trip I inspect the state of the model and stones inside it. They found that the size of the stone is really reduced, and, if you sit in the back seat of a cabin, the loss is up to 60% and if the front is only 17 %. According to researchers, a powerful randomly aimed forces deform the rocks, and the shattered pieces of stones then excreted with urine.
Scientists believe that such rides can be an effective tool in the fight against small (up to four millimeters) kidney stones. The results of experiments of Wartinger and his colleagues published the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association.
