Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ankle pump assistance, in particular to a bed-based ankle pump exercise device. Background Art

[0002] Ankle pumps are a type of aerobic exercise that effectively strengthens lower limb muscles, particularly the calf muscles. They are suitable for people of all ages and physical abilities and can also improve posture and balance. A bed-bound ankle pump device is designed to help patients perform ankle exercises while bedridden. Prolonged bed rest can lead to muscle weakness, particularly in the lower limbs, which can slow blood flow in the lower limb veins and increase the risk of venous thrombosis and, in severe cases, pulmonary embolism. Existing ankle pump assistive devices use a servo motor to drive a rocker arm connecting a strap and the foot for reciprocating swinging motion, or employ spring compression to assist movement. However, the former's rotation-to-swing conversion method suffers from poor controllability and large speed errors. The latter's reciprocating swinging rate is uneven, and the force varies with the spring's expansion and contraction, resulting in poor assistance. Furthermore, the optimal swinging angle varies depending on the patient's physical condition and needs to be adjusted accordingly to maintain optimal ankle exercise and avoid excessive or ineffective movements, which can cause injury, while the latter may have limited beneficial effects.
