Embodiment Construction

[0031] figure 1 Shows a rear perspective view of the upper body of a person P wearing devices V according to the invention on both shoulders, which are respectively supported on fastening means 5 supported in a detachably fixed manner on the person P's body. on the back.

[0032] The appearance of the device V according to the invention differs significantly from known exoskeleton-type structures for kinematic support of the shoulder joint in that there is no holder protruding above the shoulder level of the person P in the form of a chute. More precisely, when the person P is in a substantially upright position, with his two arms resting straight on the body laterally, the device V according to the invention is locked only laterally. Surrounds the scapular and humeral region. Despite the small and compact construction of the device V according to the invention, both with respect to the approximately 360° rotational mobility of the glenohumeral joint (joint between the humer...

Abstract

A device for supporting the movement of a human shoulder joint is described, with a first rotary bearing (L1) for applying a rotation of a first bearing part (1) about a first rotation axis (D1), a second rotary bearing (L2) for applying a rotation of a second bearing part (2) about a second rotation axis (D2), wherein the second rotation axis (D2) is connected indirectly or directly to the firstbearing part (1), a third rotary bearing (L3) for applying a rotation of a third bearing part (3) about a third rotation axis (D3), wherein the third rotation axis (D3) is connected indirectly or directly to the second bearing part (2), a fourth rotary bearing (L4) for applying a rotation of a fourth bearing part (4) about a fourth rotation axis (D4), wherein the fourth rotation axis (D4) is connected indirectly or directly to the third bearing part (3), and a fifth rotary bearing (L5) for applying a rotation of the fourth bearing part (4) about a fifth rotation axis (D5), wherein a) the firstrotation axis (D1) is connected in a spatially fixed manner to a first fastening means (5) which is suitable for the detachable mounting and orientation of the first rotary bearing (D1) on the shoulder area of a person, b) the fifth rotation axis (D5) is connected in a spatially fixed manner to a second fastening means (6) which is suitable for detachable mounting and orientation of the fifth rotary bearing (D5) on the upper arm area of the shoulder blade of a person, such that the rotation axis (D5) traverses the head of the humerus of the person, c) the second and third rotation axes (D2, D3) are oriented parallel to each other and span a plane (E) with respect to which the fourth rotation axis (D4) is oriented in parallel, and d) at least the first and / or fifth rotary bearings have / hasan actuator that supports the rotation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for kinematic support of the human shoulder joint. Background technique [0002] Systems according to this category have long been used in medicine in the form of motor-driven joint orthoses for stabilizing and relieving loads as well as guiding and correcting movable limbs and torsos. In addition, so-called artificial exoskeletons are known, i.e. motorized support mechanical joint structures that can be worn on the body, which support or enhance the movement of the wearer in such a way that the joints of the exoskeleton e.g. Driven by a servo motor or similar electro-motorized drive design. [0003] Such systems are becoming increasingly important and attracting increasing attention during interdisciplinary research and development of such motor support systems. In particular, the continuous improvement of the relevant system components, such as electric motors enabling high power, highly efficient control u...
