Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rehabilitation training technology, specifically relating to an online hydrotherapy rehabilitation training device for correcting movement posture. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrotherapy, as the name suggests, is "water therapy." It is an important treatment method widely used in rehabilitation. It utilizes the diverse properties of water to achieve therapeutic effects and has unique therapeutic effects on diseases such as osteoarthritis, stroke, and burns. It can also be used for early weight-bearing training after orthopedic surgery, gait correction training for hemiplegic patients, water limb function training for paraplegic patients, and progressive strengthening training of cardiopulmonary function. Therefore, it is favored by professional athletes and users with leg injuries or those who need to correct their walking posture.

[0003] Existing hydrotherapy mainly combines water training with underwater treadmills to meet rehabilitation training needs. However, once the conventional hydrotherapy equipment is submerged in water, the training difficulty can only be controlled by the treadmill speed and the depth of immersion. This has the following drawbacks in actual operation:

[0004] 1) When only one leg needs training, the wave-making conditions and the rise and fall heights are the same, meaning that it is impossible to create different conditions for rehabilitation training. Therefore, this rehabilitation technology cannot meet the rehabilitation needs of this type of user, resulting in poor universality of rehabilitation training.

[0005] 2) During training, it is impossible to acquire the movement posture in the water, let alone correct the correct posture, resulting in non-standard walking posture after rehabilitation, which may cause some problems (such as: thoracic spine leaning backward, heel landing heavily or scraping the ground; one foot going deep and the other shallow; excessive lateral pelvic displacement; rotational imbalance; X-shaped legs or O-shaped legs, etc.). At the same time, the training intensity cannot be fully utilized, and it is impossible to accelerate rehabilitation efficiency and improve rehabilitation quality. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an improved online hydrotherapy rehabilitation training device for correcting movement posture.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An online hydrotherapy rehabilitation training device for correcting movement posture includes a hydrotherapy pool and an underwater treadmill. The hydrotherapy pool includes a pool body and a wave-generating unit installed on the pool body. The underwater treadmill includes a running belt and a lifting unit that drives the running belt to move up and down.

[0009] The hydrotherapy rehabilitation training equipment also includes a dynamic monitoring system, which includes an underwater camera located in the pool body and / or on the underwater treadmill, a dynamic display located at the end of the treadmill belt, and a dynamic control unit connected to the wave-making unit and the lifting unit respectively.

[0010] The wave-making unit includes multiple wave heads formed on the pool body and capable of generating surfing resistance of different strengths and directions, and a water circulation component that is connected to the pool body and each wave head to form surfing branches. The water circulation component is connected to the dynamic control unit by wire or / and wireless means. After the underwater camera acquires the motion posture, the dynamic control unit adjusts the different surfing resistances generated by each wave head, as well as the depth and speed of running into the water.

[0011] Preferably, multiple wave generators are spaced apart on the pool body, and each wave generator creates at least one surfing current. The multiple surfing currents created by one or more wave generators change the magnitude and direction of surfing resistance. Here, the appropriate wave generator can be selected according to actual needs, thus satisfying both single-person and multi-person rehabilitation training, thereby increasing practicality.

[0012] According to a specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the present invention, each wave generator forms four surfing water streams, which are arranged in a rectangular array. Each surfing water stream is selectively ejected under the control of the dynamic control unit, and the pressure or flow rate of the ejected water stream is adjustable. By employing multiple surfing water streams distributed vertically and horizontally, when a single stream cannot cover the area requiring treatment, selection can be made vertically or horizontally. Furthermore, staggered streams can be used, significantly increasing the practicality of training and meeting the needs of different users.

[0013] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the invention, the inlets of each wave generator and the outlets of the four surf streams are located on the same end face, with the inlets situated around the outlets. Here, the arrangement of the inlets and outlets utilizes the interaction of action and reaction forces. As we know, when swimming, pushing the water backward propels a person forward; similarly, the inlets can draw the water impacted by the outflow backward, thereby increasing the impact force of the outflow and thus increasing resistance during training.

[0014] Preferably, the wave generators are distributed on both sides and at the ends of the treadmill corresponding to the pool body. Generally, the wave generators are distributed around the pool body. For example, the wave generators at the front mainly provide resistance for forward movement, while the wave generators on both sides mainly serve to assist and correct, better creating differences in training conditions to meet rehabilitation needs. As for the wave generators at the rear, they are generally not needed, but in the event of a sports hazard, they can generate surf to offset the resistance, allowing the user to escape danger as quickly as possible.

[0015] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the present invention, the wave generator includes a wave generator body that traverses the pool body and has an open inner end and a closed outer end, and a cap that is detachably mounted on the inner end of the wave generator body, wherein an inlet and an outlet are formed on the cap, and the inlet and outlet are respectively connected to corresponding water circulation components. This facilitates the assembly and implementation of the wave generator.

[0016] Preferably, the inlet is in the shape of a grid and symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the outlet. The grid design prevents foreign objects from entering and causing wave blockage.

[0017] Furthermore, four water pipes are formed within the wave generator body and connected to the outlets one by one. These four water pipes are arranged in a rectangular array and are all connected to the water circulation component. The wave generator head also includes flow regulating valves installed on each water pipe and connected to the dynamic control unit. This facilitates the formation of the desired single or multiple water streams.

[0018] In addition, each water circulation component includes a water pump, an inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe. One end of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are respectively inserted into the outer end of the wave generator body and connected to the corresponding inlet and outlet; the other end is connected to the inlet and outlet of the water pump, respectively.

[0019] Preferably, there are multiple underwater cameras that can acquire the water conditions above and below the treadmill belt in real time, making rehabilitation training safer; the dynamic control unit is connected to electronic devices via wired and / or wireless means, typically using mobile phones, tablets, computers or other electronic devices for operation, so that rehabilitation therapists can make online corrections.

[0020] Due to the implementation of the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0021] In existing hydrotherapy processes, the training difficulty can only be controlled by the speed of the treadmill and the depth of the water. This results in identical wave conditions and uniform rise and fall heights when only one leg needs training, failing to create differentiated training conditions. Consequently, this rehabilitation process cannot meet the needs of such users, leading to poor universality of rehabilitation training. Furthermore, the inability to capture movement postures in the water during training makes it impossible to correct proper posture, resulting in non-standard walking postures after rehabilitation and causing problems such as: posterior thoracic spine, heavy heel landing or rubbing against the ground; uneven foot depth; excessive pelvic lateral displacement; rotational imbalance; X-shaped or O-shaped legs, etc. Simultaneously, the training intensity cannot be fully utilized, failing to accelerate rehabilitation efficiency and improve rehabilitation quality. This invention cleverly solves these shortcomings of existing structures through a holistic design of the hydrotherapy rehabilitation training equipment. By employing this hydrotherapy rehabilitation training device, the varying strengths and directions of wave resistance generated by different wave generators create differentiated rehabilitation conditions. Combined with underwater camera-captured motion postures, the dynamic control unit adjusts the wave resistance generated by each wave generator, as well as the depth and speed of running in the water, online to correct movement postures. Therefore, this invention not only creates differentiated training conditions to meet the rehabilitation needs of different users and enhances practicality, but also effectively adjusts the magnitude and direction of wave resistance, as well as the depth and speed of running in the water, based on the movement postures in the water, to correct movement postures online and improve rehabilitation efficiency and quality.

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the online hydrotherapy rehabilitation training device for correcting exercise posture in this embodiment includes a hydrotherapy pool 1, an underwater treadmill 2, and a dynamic monitoring system 3. The hydrotherapy pool 1 includes a pool body 10 and a wave-making unit 11 installed on the pool body 10. The underwater treadmill 2 includes a running belt 20 and a lifting unit 21 (a scissor lift, which can be purchased directly) that drives the running belt 20 to move up and down. The dynamic monitoring system 3 includes an underwater camera 30 arranged in the pool body 10, a dynamic display 31 located at the end of the running belt 20, and a dynamic control unit 32 that is connected to the wave-making unit 11 and the lifting unit 21 respectively.

[0038] Specifically, the spa pool 1 adopts a pitless design, with the inlet directly designed on the second floor. The various parts constituting the pool body 10 are assembled relative to each other, and a leak-proof membrane is laid on the inner wall of the pool.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the wave-generating unit 11 includes multiple wave heads 110 formed on the pool body 10 and capable of generating surfing resistance of different strengths and directions, and a water circulation component 111 that is connected to the pool body 10 and each wave head 110 and forms surfing branches, wherein the water circulation component 111 is wired or / and wirelessly connected to the dynamic control unit 32.

[0040] Multiple wave generators 110 are spaced apart on the pool body 10, and each wave generator 110 generates at least one surfing current. The multiple surfing currents generated by one or more wave generators 110 can change the magnitude and direction of surfing resistance. Here, the appropriate wave generator can be selected according to actual needs, thus satisfying both single-person and multi-person rehabilitation training, thereby increasing practicality.

[0041] The wave generator 110 includes a wave generator body a that runs through the pool body 10 and has an open inner end and a closed outer end, and a cover b that is installed and removed from the inner end of the wave generator body a. The cover b has an inlet b1 and an outlet b2, and the inlet b1 and the outlet b2 are respectively connected to the corresponding water circulation components 111. This facilitates the assembly and implementation of the wave generator.

[0042] The inlet is shaped like a grid (b1) and symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the outlet (b2). The grid design prevents foreign objects from entering and causing wave blockage. Four water pipes (c) are formed within the wave generator body (a) and connect one-to-one with the outlets (b1). These four water pipes (c) are arranged in a rectangular array and are all connected to the water circulation component (111). The wave generator head (110) also includes flow regulating valves installed on each water pipe (c) and connected to the dynamic control unit (32). This facilitates the formation of the desired single or multiple water streams. In short, each wave generator head (110) forms four surfing water streams, arranged in a rectangular array. Each surfing water stream is selectively ejected under the control of the dynamic control unit (32), and the pressure or flow rate of the ejected water stream is adjustable. That is, multiple surfing water streams distributed vertically and horizontally can be used. When a single water stream cannot cover the area requiring treatment, selection can be made vertically or horizontally. Staggered water streams can also be used, significantly increasing the practicality of training and meeting the needs of different users.

[0043] In some specific implementations, the inlet b1 of each wave generator and the outlet b2 of the four surf streams are located on the same end face, with the inlet b1 located around the outlet b2. This arrangement of inlets and outlets utilizes the interaction of action and reaction forces. As we know, when swimming, pushing the water backward propels a person forward. Similarly, the inlet can draw the water impacted by the outlet backward, increasing the impact force of the outlet and thus increasing resistance during training.

[0044] Each water circulation component 111 includes a water pump m1, an inlet pipe m2, and an outlet pipe m3. One end of the inlet pipe m2 and the outlet pipe m3 are respectively inserted into the outer end of the wave generator body a and connected to the corresponding inlet port b1 and outlet port b2; the other end is respectively connected to the inlet end and outlet end of the water pump m1.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, wave generators 110 are distributed on both sides and ends of the treadmill belt corresponding to the pool body 10. Generally, wave generators are distributed around the pool body. For example, the wave generators at the front mainly provide resistance for forward movement, while the wave generators on both sides mainly serve to assist and correct, better creating differences in training conditions to meet rehabilitation needs. As for the wave generators at the rear, they are generally not needed, but in the event of a sports hazard, they can generate surfing to offset the resistance, allowing the user to escape danger as quickly as possible.

[0046] In addition, there are multiple underwater cameras 30 (directly purchased, a standard product) that can acquire the water status above and below the treadmill belt 20 in real time, making rehabilitation training safer. The dynamic control unit 32 is connected to electronic devices via wired and / or wireless means, typically controlled by mobile phones, tablets, computers, or other electronic devices, so that the therapist can make online corrections. In short, after the underwater camera 30 acquires the movement posture, the dynamic control unit 32 adjusts the wave generators 110 to create different surfing resistances, as well as the depth and speed of the treadmill belt 20 in the water.

[0047] In summary, by employing this hydrotherapy rehabilitation training equipment, the varying strengths and directions of wave resistance generated by different wave generators create differentiated rehabilitation conditions. Combined with underwater camera-captured motion postures, the dynamic control unit adjusts the wave resistance generated by each wave generator, as well as the depth and speed of running in the water, online to correct posture. Therefore, this invention not only creates differentiated training conditions to meet the rehabilitation needs of different users and enhances practicality, but also effectively adjusts the magnitude and direction of wave resistance, as well as the depth and speed of running in the water, based on underwater motion postures to correct posture online, improving rehabilitation efficiency and quality. Furthermore, it allows for the selection of appropriate wave generators based on actual needs, satisfying both single-person and multi-person rehabilitation training modes, thus increasing practicality. Thirdly, it employs four wave streams distributed vertically, horizontally, and vertically; when a single stream cannot cover the area requiring treatment, selection can be made vertically, horizontally, or vertically. The staggered water flow significantly increases the practicality of training to meet the needs of different users. Fourthly, the inflow and outflow layout utilizes the interaction of action and reaction forces. As we know, swimming requires pushing water backward to move forward; the inflow draws the outflow water backward, increasing its impact and thus increasing resistance during training. Fifthly, wave generators are distributed around the pool. For example, the front wave generators primarily provide forward resistance, while the side wave generators mainly assist in correction, creating a better differentiation in training conditions to meet rehabilitation needs. The rear wave generators are generally not needed, but in case of danger, they can generate waves to offset resistance, allowing users to escape danger quickly. Sixthly, the wave generators are easy to assemble and use grilles to prevent foreign objects from entering and causing blockages. Seventhly, they are conventionally controlled using electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers, facilitating online correction by rehabilitation therapists.

[0048] The present invention has been described in detail above, with the aim of enabling those skilled in the art to understand and implement the invention. However, this description should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the invention should be included within the scope of protection of the invention.
