Ankle and foot orthopedic device and method for controlling same

Abstract

The invention discloses an ankle and foot orthopedic device and a method for controlling the same, and belongs to the technical field of medical apparatus and instruments. The ankle and foot orthopedic device and the method have the advantages that pressure sensors, an EMG (electromyography) sensor and a multi-dimensional gyroscope acceleration sensor are combined with one another and are appliedto controlling an ankle and foot orthopedic apparatus, accordingly, plantar pressure distribution data, muscle surface bioelectricity, gesture data and acceleration a wearer is in different movement modes can be effectively acquired, and reliable parameters can be provided to accurate control; the ankle and foot orthopedic device can assist in training rehabilitation and correction on ankle jointcontrol disabilities who are achilles tendon rupture postoperative recovery, talipes equinus, stroke, ankle joint injury and hemiplegia patients and the like, can adapt to characteristics of actions such as slow walking, fast walking, receding, stair ascending, stair descending, turning and the like of the ankle joint control disabilities, and has gait correcting and walking assisting functions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ankle-foot orthopedic device and a control method thereof, belonging to the technical field of medical devices. Background technique [0002] China's elderly population is increasing day by day, and most of them have ankle motor dysfunction due to calf muscle weakness, calf muscle atrophy, stroke, trauma, multiple sclerosis, etc., which have changed the movement pattern of the lower limbs, gait disorder, and cerebral palsy. Clubfoot, young children with foot drop, the ankle joint mobility of these patients is weakened to varying degrees, which seriously affects their daily life and reduces their quality of life. They urgently need an active dynamic ankle-foot orthotic device to assist them in effective Rehabilitation training to gradually increase the mobility of the ankle joint or return it to a normal state. [0003] The State Intellectual Property Office published the application number CN201320293816.9 on January 8, 201...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the technical problem that the ankle cannot adapt to different gait changes and different people's demand for force in the existing ankle-foot orthotic device, and provides an ankle-foot orthotic device and its control method, through pneumatic artificial muscles, sensors and The combination of intelligent algorithms solves the problems of weight, convenience and adaptive control of the current ankle-foot orthotics, and can basically meet the requirements of different patients. While improving wearability, the ankle joint can be adjusted on the sagittal plane through external force. Plantarflexion and dorsiflexion exercises assist different patients with movement needs, and meet the movement gait requirements of the wearer in different situations such as forward, backward, fast walking, slow walking, upstairs, downstairs and turning, which improves the convenience and practicality of use sex
