Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation training, and particularly relates to an upper and lower interactive proprioceptive training device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Limb dysfunction is that the original normal function of the limb is weakened or lost. The limbs of normal people have movement and sensory functions. The function of the upper limbs mainly includes fine actions such as grasping under the instruction of the brain and the coordination of the trunk and the upper limbs, and correct judgments on temperature, pain, and limb position. The function of the upper limbs is more delicate and flexible than that of the lower limbs, and the functions of the left and right limbs of normal people are basically symmetrical. When the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves are damaged or the limbs are injured, limb dysfunction occurs, such as abnormal sensation and movement caused by cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, trauma, etc., which is manifested as limb weakness and inability to correctly distinguish pain, temperature, position, etc.

[0003] Proprioception is the sensation of joints, limbs, movement and force, which refers to the sensation of deep structures such as muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments. It is the sensation of feeling that the muscles are in a state of contraction or relaxation, the tendons and ligaments are pulled, and the joints are in a state of flexion or extension. The deep sensory conduction of the trunk and limbs is through the cell body of neurons, which is located in the spinal ganglion and distributed in the muscles, tendons and joints. Proprioception can be divided into three levels. The first level is the position sensation, movement sensation and weight bearing sensation of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. The second level is the balance sensation of the vestibule and the movement coordination sensation of the cerebellum. The third level is the comprehensive movement sensation of the cerebral cortex. The proprioceptive loss of patients with bone injury is mainly the first level loss, the proprioceptive loss of patients with movement injury is mainly the first and second level loss, and the proprioceptive loss of patients with nerve injury is mainly the third level loss.

[0004] The postoperative care and functional rehabilitation exercise of upper limb dysfunction patients are very important. For example, passive activity and resistance training of the upper limbs during the rehabilitation period are needed to restore the proprioception of the patients, thereby avoiding muscle loss, osteoporosis and joint contracture caused by long-term muscle relaxation, and the decline of hand function and flexibility caused by long-term abandonment of the hand joints. At present, the rehabilitation exercise methods mainly include the auxiliary exercise of nursing personnel (such as massage and passive stretching) and the exercise of equipment. At present, the equipment mainly passively stretches the upper limbs of the patients or provides certain resistance training, and some equipment has the functions of massage and pneumatic therapy. However, the current equipment exercise method lacks the concept of upper and lower limb interaction and lacks the controllable exercise method of the patients. Through the upper and lower limb interaction, the proprioception of the patients can be better exercised, and the self-control can avoid injury during the rehabilitation exercise, which is safer and saves the time and energy of the nursing personnel.

A support block 12 is fixed on the chain of the sprocket and chain drive pair 9. The upper part of the support block 12 passes through the elongated hole 11 and is supported on the bottom surface of the arm support plate 5. A sliding groove 13 is opened on one side of the base plate 4. A slider 14 is provided in the sliding groove 13. The slider 14 can slide in the sliding groove 13. A first limit switch 15 and a second limit switch 16 are respectively provided at the front end and rear end of the sliding groove 13.

[0025] The rear ends of the two rear plate bodies 2 are fixed on the bed tail clamps 17, bolts are arranged on the arm plate clamps 1 and the bed tail clamps 17, and the bolts are used for fixing the arm plate clamps 1 or the bed tail clamps 17 on the sickbed; a rectangular groove 18 is arranged on each rear plate body 2, three light rods 19 are fixed in the rectangular groove 18, a footrest plate 20 is arranged on the rear plate body 2, a movable block is arranged at the bottom of the footrest plate 20, the movable block is located in the rectangular groove 18, three through holes are arranged on the movable block, the three light rods 19 are arranged in the three through holes respectively, the movable block can slide forward and backward in the rectangular groove 18 through cooperation of the light rods 19 and the through holes, and a reset spring 21 is arranged on the middle light rod 19 and abuts against the movable block;

[0026] The footrest plate 20 is provided with a winding column 22, a pull rope 23 is connected between the winding column 22 and the sliding block 14, the winding column 22 is used for winding the pull rope 23 to adjust the tension, and a reset elastic belt 24 is arranged between the sliding block 14 and the base plate 4.

[0027] The application mainly drives the upper limbs to move through simulating the movement of lower limbs, so as to achieve the purpose of proprioceptive training. Specifically, in use, first, the two rear plate bodies 2 are placed at the tail of the bed, then the bed tail clamps 17 and the bolts are used to fix the two rear plate bodies 2 on the sickbed, then the two arm plate clamps 1 are clamped and fixed on the left and right sides of the sickbed, and the bolts are used for fixing; then the upper limbs of the patient are placed on the arm part supporting plates 5 of the two arm plate clamps 1 respectively, and the arm part belts 7 are used for fixing; then the patient steps on the footrest plates 20 with the feet, the footrest plates 20 drive the movable blocks to move backward in the rectangular grooves 18, the reset springs 21 are compressed, the footrest plates 20 pull the sliding blocks 14 backward through the pull ropes 23, the sliding blocks 14 contact the second travel switches, at this time, the reversible motor 10 works, the reversible motor 10 drives the chain wheel and chain transmission pair 9, the chain starts to transmit, under the pulling of the chain, the supporting blocks 12 move along the long holes 11, so that the positions of the supporting blocks 12 supported on the arm part supporting plates 5 are changed, the arm part supporting plates 5 are lifted, at the same time, the sliding blocks 14 pull the reset elastic belts 24; when the patient releases the footrest plates 20, the footrest plates 20 are reset under the elastic force of the reset springs 21, the sliding blocks 14 are reset under the pulling force of the reset elastic belts 24, the sliding blocks 14 contact the first travel switches 15, the reversible motor 10 starts to reverse, then reversely drives the chain to transmit, the supporting blocks 12 move towards the other direction, then the arm part supporting plates 5 fall down; through the patient constantly stepping on the footrest plates 20, the upper limbs of the patient can be repeatedly lifted to exercise the upper limbs of the patient and promote the recovery of the proprioceptive function.

[0028] In addition, in the above steps, since there is sliding friction between the support block 12 and the arm support plate 5 during the movement of the support block 12, the friction is large. In order to reduce the friction, a roller 25 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the support block 12, the roller 25 is supported on the bottom surface of the arm support plate 5, and the roller 25 and the arm support plate 5 are in rolling friction, which greatly reduces the friction and makes the movement of the support block 12 more smooth and labor-saving.

[0029] In addition, the arm support plate 5 is provided with a wedge-shaped air bag 26, and one side of the arm plate clamp 1 is provided with an air pump 27 for inflating and deflating the wedge-shaped air bag 26. After inflation, the distal end of the upper limb can be lifted to promote the circulation of blood in the lower limbs. The air pump can adjust the inflation mode, such as inflation and deflation at intervals, so that the lower limbs can be intermittently lifted or lowered, thereby playing a role in the air pressure treatment of the lower limbs.
