[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of geriatric clinical rehabilitation equipment, specifically relating to an adjustable geriatric clinical exercise device. Background Technology
[0002] In geriatric clinical rehabilitation, targeted physical exercise is crucial for promoting the recovery of walking ability, improving limb function, and preventing falls. However, existing geriatric exercise devices are not safe enough; some devices lack effective fall protection structures, making elderly users prone to bumps and injuries if they lose their balance during exercise. Furthermore, they do not adequately consider the support needs of elderly people when standing up after prolonged sitting, posing safety hazards. Therefore, this invention proposes an adjustable geriatric clinical exercise device. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology, the present invention provides an adjustable clinical exercise device for the elderly, comprising a base, an upper limb exercise component and a lower limb exercise component mounted on the upper surface of the base, and an anti-fall component mounted on the base. The anti-fall component includes a first fixed seat mounted on the upper surface of the base, a hydraulic push rod fixedly mounted on the first fixed seat, a seat detachably mounted on the top of the hydraulic push rod, the rear end of the seat detachably connected to the backrest, armrests mounted on both sides, and the bottom of the armrests rotatably connected to the bottom of the seat. Secondly, the anti-fall component also includes an anti-slip pad on the upper surface of the base and a protective railing fixedly installed around the base. A flexible layer is detachably installed on the inner wall of the protective railing, and a pressure alarm sensor is installed in the flexible layer.
[0004] Furthermore, the lower limb exercise assembly includes a foot pedal rotatably mounted on the bottom of a first fixed base, a pulley mounted on the pivot of the foot pedal, and the pulley connected to a resistance adjustment device via a belt.
[0005] Furthermore, the resistance adjustment device includes an electromagnetic brake fixedly installed inside the first fixed base, and the rotating wheel of the electromagnetic brake is connected to a pulley via a belt drive.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper limb exercise component includes a second fixed seat that is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the base. The upper end of the second fixed seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting frame, and a fixed pulley is rotatably mounted on the top of the limiting frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper limb exercise component also includes a lead block disposed at the bottom of the limiting frame, the top of the lead block being connected to one end of an elastic band, and the other end of the elastic band passing through the top of a fixed pulley and being fixedly connected to the handle.
[0008] Furthermore, a finger movable plate is installed on one side of the limiting frame relative to the first fixed seat, and an inspection door is installed on the other side.
[0009] Furthermore, an operation panel is detachably installed on the handrail, a protective door is rotatably installed on the guardrail, and a controller is detachably installed at the bottom of the first fixed base.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The anti-slip pad on the base of this invention increases the stability of the device; the combination of the guardrail, flexible layer and pressure alarm sensor forms an all-round anti-fall protection, the flexible layer can buffer the impact, and the pressure alarm sensor can issue an alarm in time, reducing the risk of fall injury to the elderly; the handrail can be folded to provide support for the elderly to get up, further improving the safety of use.
[0011] 2. This invention allows for precise adjustment of the seat height via a hydraulic push rod, making it suitable for elderly users of different heights (e.g., 150cm to 180cm). It solves the problem of uneven leg exertion in some elderly people due to the fixed height of existing devices, allowing the elderly to naturally extend their legs when sitting down, thus improving the comfort and effectiveness of exercise.
