Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to rehabilitation training aids, and more particularly to a passive training device for stroke. Background Technology

[0002] Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease. After a stroke occurs, nearly 2 million brain cells die every minute, and the patient will gradually lose language, motor and cognitive abilities. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as stiffness and weakness on one side of the face, arm and leg. For patients who have already suffered a stroke, rehabilitation training can prevent the condition from worsening and help them return to a normal life.

[0003] Currently, common stroke rehabilitation equipment includes single-motor gait trainers, treadmills, assistive robots, and multi-motor exoskeletons, but these are mostly expensive and require professional maintenance. This invention proposes a passive training device suitable for stroke patients, which is compact, easy to use, safe, and has good human-machine coordination, enabling rehabilitation training tasks where the healthy limb drives the affected limb.

[0045] The following is combined Figure 9 The working process of the stroke training device of the present invention will be described.

[0046] With the help of themselves or an assistant, the patient will connect their limbs to the first leg training linkage group 1, the second leg training linkage group 2, the first arm training linkage group 3, and the second arm training linkage group 4. For example, the foot is placed in the foot assist 107, the lower limb is connected to the lower limb assist support 108, and the upper arm is connected to the upper limb assist support 205. If necessary, straps can be used for binding to complete the wearing of the training device.

[0047] Assuming the limb on the side of the first leg training linkage group 1 and the first arm training linkage group 3 is a healthy limb, the rehabilitation training process is as follows: the patient begins to take the first step forward, the first leg training linkage group 1 moves forward, which drives the second arm training linkage group 4 to move forward.

[0048] Specifically, the thigh bar auxiliary rod 104 in the first leg training linkage group 1 drives the leg frame rod 102 and the lower leg auxiliary rod 105 to move forward, causing the lower rotating wheel 101 to rotate clockwise, causing the side rotating wheel 601 in the first vertical shaft transmission group 501 to rotate clockwise, and the force transmission rod 603 pushes the inner rotating wheel 602 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the lower crank 701 to drive the lower slider 702 to rotate upward, pushing the middle slider 703 located on the back support frame 301 to slide upward, pushing the upper slider 705 to drive the upper crank 704 to rotate counterclockwise, and the power is transmitted to the second arm training linkage group 4 through the second vertical shaft transmission group 503 to make the linkage group move forward.

[0049] Simultaneously, the first arm training linkage group 3 moves backward, and the power is transmitted to the second leg training linkage group 2 through the second transmission chain 303 in the back adjustment linkage group 5, causing the second leg training linkage group to move backward. The patient then continues to walk forward, and the first arm training linkage group 3 and the first leg training linkage group 1 swing alternately, subsequently causing the second arm training linkage group 4 and the second leg training linkage group 2 to swing alternately, driving the movable support 6 and the back adjustment linkage group 5 to move forward.

[0050] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
