Ankle protection and rehabilitation training equipment

Abstract

Ankle joint protection equipment includes a leg shell worn on the upper part of an ankle and a foot shell worn on the lower part of the ankle; the leg shell is movably connected with the foot shell through a connecting part; the equipment also includes a tension device, the upper section is fixedly connected to the leg shell through a fixing structure, and the lower section is fixedly connected tothe foot shell through a fixing structure; the upper and lower sections of the tension device are engaged through a gear mechanism; and a processor controls a motor to provide resistance F to the tension device. The equipment can protect an ankle joint without affecting the movement of the ankle joint, so that a user can exercise more freely, and the muscles and ligaments of the ankle joint can be trained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to an ankle protection and rehabilitation training device. Background technique [0002] Ankle sprains are very common in all sports, affecting almost all athletes. Especially in some fierce confrontations, such as in football matches, individual injured people even have foot valgus up to 90 degrees due to fierce confrontation, and this injury brings great damage to the sports career of the injured. Ankle sprains are mainly caused by inversion and valgus, both of which can cause damage to the ankle ligaments. According to the degree of severity, it is divided into: first grade, the ligament is stretched or torn in a small area, the ligament is not loose, and the elastic recovery ability is good; second grade, the ligament is partially torn, the ligament is partially loose, and the elastic recovery ability is limited Injury; Grade III, the ligament is completely torn, the ligament ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] High strength and high toughness bring excellent protection, but also lead to certain restrictions on the flexibility of the ankle, which affects the performance of sports

[0006] At the same time, long-term use of protective devices such as ankle braces prevents the muscles and ligaments of the ankle joint from being fully exercised, making them more vulnerable

This causes such a common phenomenon: once the ankle joint is injured (especially the heavier one), the injured needs to wear ankle support even if he recovers, but excessive wearing of the ankle support leads to the increasing dependence of the ankle joint on the ankle support. Joint muscles and ligaments cannot return to pre-injury levels, so the injured need to continue to wear ankle braces, creating a vicious cycle
