DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] The portable multifunctional lower limb fracture training and recovery device in this embodiment comprises a foot support 1, the edge of the foot support 1 is provided with a circle of retaining edges 2 extending upward, and the front end of the foot support 1 is provided with a forefoot retaining edge 3 integrally arranged with the front retaining edge 2 (see Figure 8 , Fig. 9 The foot support 1 serves as a support for the foot, the rib 2 wraps around the periphery of the foot to form a force point when the foot moves in a plane on the ground, and the forefoot rib 3 prevents the foot from being separated from the foot support 1.

[0034] When doing recovery training, you can sit down anywhere, put your feet on the foot support 1, and move your calves with the knee joint as the center point. When the calf is extended forward, the sole of the foot is close to the ground, and the foot will be turned back relative to the calf (compare Figure 1 and Figure 2 ); conversely, if the calf moves backward, the foot turns forward relative to the calf (compare Figure 1 and Figure 3 ); when the calf moves to the left, the foot turns outward relative to the calf (compare Figure 4 and Figure 5 ); when the calf moves to the right, the foot turns inward relative to the calf (compare Figure 4 and Figure 6 ); the calf rotates 360 degrees relative to the thigh, and the foot is equivalent to drawing a circle on the ground, and the foot is constantly rotating inwards and outwards relative to the calf (not shown in the figure); this is to perform restorative training on the ankle joint.

[0035] During recovery training, the foot support 1 is always in friction with the ground. In order to reduce the friction, a ball 4 or a pulley can be installed under the foot support 1. The pulley must be a universal pulley. If it is a ball 4, the ball 4 can only play the role of reducing friction. It can also have the function of massaging the sole of the foot, refer to Figure 8That is, the ball 4 includes a ball body 41 and a ball holder 42, the ball body 41 is fixed in the ball holder 42, the foot support 1 has a mounting groove 11 at the bottom, the ball holder 42 is embedded in the mounting groove 11 and adheres to the mounting groove 11, and the top part of the ball body 41 is above the upper surface of the foot support 1. This allows the ball body 41 to massage the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot while the foot is moving, so as to relieve the tension of the sole tissue and promote recovery.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] This embodiment is based on the first embodiment. Considering the stiffness of the ankle joint and the contraction of muscles and ligaments after surgical treatment of the joint, which cause joint dysfunction, it is difficult to keep the foot still by pressing against the weight of the thigh in the first embodiment, so an auxiliary compression component is needed to help it recover. The difficulty referred to is, for example, when the calf is extended forward, the foot is tilted, so the foot is actually relatively still with the calf, so the training effect cannot be achieved. The auxiliary compression component uses an easy-to-carry metal plate 6 and a magnet 7 matched therewith. The magnet 7 is fixed in the bottom interlayer of the foot support 1. The foot is fixed to the metal plate 6 by the magnet 7, so as to ensure that the foot support 1, that is, the bottom surface of the foot, always remains horizontal. On this basis, it is more necessary to install non-metallic rollers or balls 4 to reduce the resistance of the foot support 1 when it moves.

[0038] In this case, the structure is also different. If a ball 4 with a massage function is used, the magnet 7 cannot be a whole piece, but a plurality of small magnets 7 are sandwiched between the balls 4 (refer to Figure 7 ).

[0039] If a ball bearing 4 or a universal pulley without a massage function is used, the ball bearing 4 or the universal pulley only needs to be installed on the bottom surface of the foot support 1, and the magnet 7 can be installed in the interlayer of the foot support 1 as a whole.

[0040] Embodiment three:

[0041] This embodiment takes two issues into comprehensive consideration. First, it takes into account the stiffness of the ankle joint and the contraction of muscles and ligaments after surgical treatment of the joint, which causes joint dysfunction. It is difficult to keep the foot still by pressing against the weight of the thigh. Second, it takes into account the weakness and difficulty in movement of the calf. It is impossible to move the calf and therefore it is impossible to perform restorative training independently.

[0042] The portable multifunctional lower limb fracture training and recovery device of this embodiment refers to Fig. 9, comprising a foot support 1, the edge of the foot support 1 is provided with a circle of ribs 2 extending upward, and the upper front end of the foot support 1 is provided with a forefoot rib 3 integrally provided with the front rib 2. The foot support 1 serves as a support for the foot, and the ribs 2 wrap around the periphery of the foot to form a force point when the foot moves in a plane on the ground, and the forefoot rib 3 prevents the foot from detaching from the foot support 1. The foot support 1 is detachably connected to the mobile end of the two-dimensional mobile platform 8, that is, Velcro is provided on the bottom surface of the foot support 1 and the upper surface of the two-dimensional mobile platform 8. When performing recovery training, the foot support 1 is fixed on the two-dimensional platform to ensure that the foot support 1, that is, the bottom surface of the foot, always remains horizontal. Specifically, the two-dimensional mobile platform 8 includes two first bases 81 arranged opposite to each other and two first guide rods 82 fixed between the two first bases 81; a first slide 83 installed on the two first guide rods 82; two groups of guide blocks 84 installed on the upper surface of the first slide 83; two second guide rods 85 inserted on the two groups of guide blocks 84; a base plate 86 connecting the two second guide rods 85 and two second bases 87 at both ends of the base plate 86. The foot support 1 can be fixed on the top of the base plate 86, and the weight of the two-dimensional mobile platform 8 can keep the foot level, and it can also replace the role of the universal pulley or the ball 4 to reduce the friction of the translation of the foot support 1.

[0043] On this basis, the two-dimensional mobile platform 8 can be equipped with two motors, which drive the foot support 1 to move actively, so as to avoid the problem of calf weakness and inability to recover training autonomously. Specifically, a first driving screw 88 is installed on the two first bases 81, a first nut seat threadedly connected to the first driving screw 88 is provided at the bottom of the first slide 83, and the first motor is connected to the first driving screw 88; a second driving screw 89 is installed between the two second bases 87, and a second nut seat threadedly connected to the second driving screw 89 is provided at the top of the first slide 83 and between the two groups of guide blocks 84, and the second motor is connected to the second driving screw 89. By driving the first driving screw 88 to rotate by the first motor, the first slide 83 can be moved on the first guide rod 82 to achieve left and right reciprocating movement, and the second motor drives the second driving screw 89 to move, so that the second guide rod 85 and the base plate 86 can be moved on the two groups of guide blocks 84 to achieve front and back reciprocating movement. When the first motor and the second motor work at the same time, circular motion can be achieved.

[0044] That is to say, the movement of the foot support 1 includes at least four modes: forward and backward reciprocating movement, left and right reciprocating movement, forward circular motion, and reverse circular motion, so as to rotate the ankle joint forward, backward, left, right, inward, and outward.

[0045] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
