Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of assisted walking devices, and particularly to an assisted walking device with a gait correction function. Background Art

[0002] After stroke patients recover, they usually suffer from sequelae such as equinovarus and foot drop, resulting in impaired normal walking function. When patients walk, their bodies will involuntarily lean forward, and they cannot consciously control their walking frequency and speed, making it easy for them to walk faster and faster, leading to the patients being extremely prone to falling and causing serious consequences. Most of the existing assisted walking devices use foot mechanical constraints (such as strap systems, exoskeleton braces) as the main intervention means to improve gait symmetry by physically restricting abnormal joint range of motion. However, clinical studies have shown that the pathological mechanism of such abnormal gait is not foot structural deformity, but motor control dysfunction caused by central nervous system injury. Therefore, simple mechanical constraints have the following limitations:

[0003] 1. It is impossible to achieve the remodeling of nerve motor function;

[0004] 2. The rigid constraint device is prone to cause soft tissue compression, resulting in discomfort for the patient;

[0005] 3. Limiting the natural range of motion of the ankle joint will affect the rehabilitation training effect.

[0006] Furthermore, when the existing assisted walking correction device is used for patients' rehabilitation training, before the patient falls, it is impossible to capture information in time to give a prompt to the patient. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to overcome the drawbacks that most of the existing assisted walking devices use foot mechanical constraints as the main intervention means, and patients cannot freely control their feet, which is not conducive to patients' rehabilitation training, the present invention provides an assisted walking device with a gait correction function.

[0010] Preferably, the adjusting component includes a housing, a twisting ring, a sliding rod, a limiting block, a sealing valve and a fixing block; a housing is fixedly connected to each second connecting pipe; the housing and the corresponding third airbag are communicated through a branch pipe; a twisting ring is rotatably connected to the upper side of each housing; a sliding rod is rotatably connected to the middle of each twisting ring; a thread is arranged on the outer side of the upper part of each sliding rod; the twisting ring is threadedly connected to the corresponding sliding rod; a limiting block is fixedly connected to the middle of each sliding rod; a plurality of sliding grooves are opened in the upper part of the inner side of each housing; each limiting block slides up and down in the corresponding sliding groove; a fixing block is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner side of each housing; an air inlet groove is opened in the middle of each fixing block; a sealing valve is fixedly connected to the lower side of each sliding rod; each sealing valve slides in the corresponding air inlet groove.

[0011] Preferably, the upper surfaces of each first airbag and each upper airbag are rough surfaces.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of ventilation holes are arranged on the auxiliary shoe.

[0013] Preferably, a sensor and a vibrator are further included; a receiver is arranged in the controller; sensors are arranged on the upper surfaces of each first airbag and second airbag, and sensing points are arranged on both the upper and lower surfaces of the sensor; each sensor is electrically connected to the controller; a plurality of vibrators are fixedly connected to the auxiliary shoe, and each vibrator is electrically connected to the controller.

At the same time, the pressure state of the second airbag is detected by the sensor. When the second airbag is not pressed, the vibrator is controlled to vibrate the patient's calf for prompting, enabling the patient to know their own training state and then improving the training effect.

[0019] The second airbag is divided into a lower airbag and an upper airbag. The doctor can adjust the inflation state of the lower airbag according to the actual situation of the patient. Furthermore, during the training process, the downward pressure amplitude of the upturned side of the patient's sole is reduced, enabling the patient to train step by step, improving the training effect, and enhancing the adaptability of the device to different patient conditions. Also, the soft airbag made of natural rubber reduces the reverse extrusion force of the upper airbag on the patient's sole, improving the comfort of the patient during training. The hard airbag made of composite material of the lower airbag supports the patient's sole, improving the support stability and the safety of the patient during training.

[0020] When the patient squeezes the upper airbag, the gas in the upper airbag is sent into the third airbag through the second connecting pipe, causing the third airbag above the upturned side of the sole to expand downward and squeezing the upturned side of the patient's sole downward to assist the patient in rehabilitation training. At the same time, the doctor can adjust the distance between the sealing valve and the air intake groove by rotating the twisting ring, thereby adjusting the size of the air intake groove and changing the extrusion force required for the patient to press down the upper airbag, and then strengthening or weakening the training for the patient according to the patient's training situation.

[0021] The present invention also has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] A clamping ring is provided at the ankle of the auxiliary shoe, and an electric heating sheet is provided inside the clamping ring, and the electric heating sheet is electrically connected to the controller. Some elderly patients usually suffer from rheumatism, resulting in pain in their ankle positions. At this time, the controller heats the electric heating sheet to perform heat therapy on the patient's ankle, improving the comfort of the patient during training and the rehabilitation effect.

[0038] The upper surfaces of each first airbag 101 and the upper airbag 10202 are both rough surfaces.

[0039] A number of ventilation holes 1001 are provided on the auxiliary shoe 1, and the air permeability of the auxiliary shoe 1 is increased through the ventilation holes 1001, so as to improve the comfort of the patient when wearing the auxiliary shoe 1 for rehabilitation training.

[0041] The upper side of each partition layer 10203 is provided with a concave-convex shape.

[0042] The outer surface of each twisting ring 109 is set to be a rough surface, which is convenient for the patient and the doctor to rotate the twisting ring 109 for adjustment.

[0043] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0044] After stroke patients recover, they usually have sequelae such as equinovarus and valgus foot. When the patient wears the auxiliary shoe 1 and walks, after the auxiliary shoe 1 contacts the ground, at this time, the upturned side of the patient's sole cannot contact the sole of the auxiliary shoe 1, so a large part of the patient's sole is in a suspended state; as a result, the patient's body will lean forward unconsciously when walking, and the nerve motor function of the stroke patient is damaged. The patient cannot control the walking speed and pace by his own consciousness, and it is easy to walk faster and faster, resulting in the patient being extremely prone to falling, causing serious consequences; therefore, the doctor can, according to the patient's situation, inflate the first airbag 101 or the second airbag 102 under the upturned side of the sole through the air pump in the controller 2, so that the corresponding first airbag 101 and the second airbag 102 are inflated and expanded, and then contact the upturned side of the patient's sole to provide a force-bearing point for the upturned side of the patient's sole;

[0045] Meanwhile, after the auxiliary shoe 1 contacts the ground, the patient can gradually try to control the upward-turned sole of the foot to turn downward for rehabilitation training. It should be noted that during the process of the patient controlling the upward-turned sole of the foot to turn downward, the second airbag 102 will be compressed and contracted. However, considering that the patient's nervous system is injured and it is impossible to judge whether the upward-turned sole of the foot turns downward, sensors 103 are provided on the first airbag 101 and the second airbag 102. When the upward-turned sole of the foot of the patient does not turn downward, the sensing point on the upper side of the sensor 103 is not pressed or is pressed with less force. After the receiver in the controller 2 receives the information, it will control the vibrator 3 to vibrate and prompt the patient's calf. After the patient receives the vibration prompt, he can continue to control the upward-turned sole of the foot to turn downward for rehabilitation training;

[0046] When the second airbag 102 contracts to the initial state, it indicates that the patient has completed a rehabilitation training. At this time, the sensing point at the bottom of the sensor 103 contacts the bottom surface of the second airbag 102. After the receiver in the controller 2 receives the information, it no longer controls the vibrator 3 to vibrate and prompt the patient's calf. Then the patient can also know that this rehabilitation training is completed. Then the patient can carry out the next rehabilitation training.

[0047] However, when encountering some relatively serious patients, such as: after the auxiliary shoe 1 is worn, if there is a large gap between the upward-turned sole of the foot of the patient and the sole of the auxiliary shoe 1, such as: there is a gap of more than 5 cm, the patient may not be able to completely press down the upward-turned sole of the foot at one time. Therefore, the rehabilitation training of such patients needs to be carried out step by step. At this time, as Figures 3 - 5 shown: The second airbag 102 is divided into a lower airbag 10201 and an upper airbag 10202. The doctor can adjust the inflation state of the lower airbag 10201 according to the actual situation of the patient. For example: First, inflate through the air pump shunt valve 5 in the controller 2, and then send the gas to the corresponding lower airbag 10201 through the shunt valve 5, so that the lower airbag 10201 located under the upward-turned side of the patient expands upward by 3 cm and keeps the lower airbag 10201 in an inflated state continuously;

[0048] Therefore, when the patient subsequently controls the upward-turned sole of the foot to turn downward, the upper airbag 10202 on the upper side is compressed and contracted, and the lower airbag 10201 on the lower side keeps expanding and does not contract. Therefore, when the patient controls the upward-turned sole of the foot to turn downward by 2 cm, the sensing point at the bottom of the sensor 103 will contact the separation layer 10203, and then the vibrator 3 stops vibrating. At this time, a rehabilitation training is completed. Furthermore, through this method, the doctor can adjust the inflation state of the lower airbag 10201 according to the actual situation, such as making the lower airbag 10201 expand by 4 cm, 3 cm, 2 cm, etc., so that the patient only needs to control the upward-turned sole of the foot to turn downward by 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, etc. during the rehabilitation training; making the rehabilitation training proceed step by step and gradually, improving the adaptability of the device to different patient conditions.

[0049] Further, when the upper airbag 10202 is pressed, the gas will enter the corresponding third airbag 107 through the second connecting pipe 106; thus, the third airbag 107 above the upturned side of the sole will expand downward, pressing the upturned side of the patient's sole downward to assist the patient in rehabilitation training.

[0050] Based on the above effects, the doctor can strengthen or weaken the training for the patient according to the patient's training situation. For example, Figures 5 - 8 As shown: when the patient controls the upturned side of the sole to turn downward and contact the upper airbag 10202, the gas in the upper airbag 10202 will enter the corresponding third airbag 107 through the second connecting pipe 106 after the upper airbag 10202 is pressed. During this process, the air flow will enter the outer shell 108. Therefore, the doctor can drive the sliding rod 201 to move up and down by rotating the twisting ring 109. Here, it should be noted that when the twisting ring 109 is twisted, it will drive the sliding rod 201 to rotate, but the sliding rod 201 is limited by the limiting block 202 and can only slide up and down. Moreover, the sliding rod 201 is threadedly connected to the twisting ring 109. Therefore, after the twisting ring 109 is twisted, the sliding rod 201 and the sealing valve 203 will slide up and down, thereby changing the distance between the sealing valve 203 and the air inlet groove 20401, and further changing the size of the air inlet groove 20401. Therefore, when performing rehabilitation training on some patients with good training conditions, taking the top-down view as the reference, the doctor can rotate the twisting ring 109 clockwise, thereby driving the sliding rod 201 and the sealing valve 203 to move downward, thus shortening the distance between the sealing valve 203 and the air inlet groove 20401 and making the air inlet groove 20401 smaller. Therefore, the flow rate of the air flow passing through the air inlet groove 20401 becomes smaller. Therefore, when the patient presses the upper airbag 10202 downward, the patient needs to use a greater downward turning force to squeeze out the gas in the upper airbag 10202. Thus, through this method, the patients with good conditions are strengthened in training, improving the training effect and rehabilitation speed of the patients;

[0051] When performing rehabilitation training on some patients with poor training conditions, the twisting ring 109 can be rotated counterclockwise, thereby driving the sliding rod 201 and the sealing valve 203 to move upward, thus increasing the distance between the sealing valve 203 and the air inlet groove 20401 and making the air inlet groove 20401 larger. At this time, the flow rate of the air flow passing through the air inlet groove 20401 becomes larger. Therefore, when the patient presses the upper airbag 10202 downward, only a smaller force is required to complete the training by pressing the upper airbag 10202 downward. Thus, through this method, some patients with poor training conditions are taken care of, reducing their training intensity, step by step, and improving the adaptability of the device to patients with different rehabilitation conditions.

[0052] Further, the lower airbag 10201 is a rigid airbag made of composite materials; the upper airbag 10202 is a soft airbag made of natural rubber; when the patient controls the upturned sole of the foot to turn downward and contact the upper airbag 10202, the soft airbag made of natural rubber reduces the reverse extrusion force of the upper airbag 10202 on the patient's sole, improving the comfort of the patient during training;

[0053] After the upper airbag 10202 is completely contracted, at this time, the lower airbag 10201, a rigid airbag made of composite materials, supports the patient's sole, improving the support stability and the safety of the patient during training.

[0054] Based on the above technical effects, the present invention also has the following advantages:

[0055] As Figure 1 shown: A number of ventilation holes 1001 are provided on the auxiliary shoe 1, increasing the air permeability of the auxiliary shoe 1 through the ventilation holes 1001 and improving the comfort of the patient when wearing the auxiliary shoe 1 for rehabilitation training.

[0056] As Figure 3 shown: The upper surfaces of each first airbag 101 and the upper airbag 10202 are both rough surfaces, increasing the friction between the patient's sole and the first airbag 101 and the upper airbag 10202 and improving the safety of the patient during training.

[0057] As Figure 5 shown: The upper side of each partition layer 10203 is provided with concavo-convex shapes; after the upper airbag 10202 is completely compressed and contracted, the upper airbag 10202 will be stepped on to the partition layer 10203 and then sink into the concavo-convex parts on the upper side of the partition layer 10203, making the surface layer of the upper airbag 10202 concavo-convex, improving the friction between the surface layer of the upper airbag 10202 and the patient's sole, avoiding loosening of the soft airbag upper airbag 10202 after contraction and resulting in sliding of the patient's sole during retraining, and improving the safety of the patient during rehabilitation training.

[0058] As Figure 7 shown: The outer surface of each twisting ring 109 is provided with a rough surface, facilitating the patient and the doctor to rotate the twisting ring 109 for adjustment.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] Based on Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, it further includes a snap ring 4; a snap ring 4 is provided at the ankle of the auxiliary shoe 1.

[0061] An electric heating sheet is provided inside the snap ring 4, and the electric heating sheet is electrically connected to the controller 2.

[0062] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0063] A snap ring 4 is provided at the ankle of the auxiliary shoe 1 to limit the ankle of the patient through the snap ring 4, preventing excessive displacement of the sole of the patient during training; and an electric heating sheet is provided on the inner side of the snap ring 4, and the electric heating sheet is electrically connected to the controller 2. Some elderly patients usually suffer from rheumatism, resulting in pain in their ankle positions. At this time, the controller 2 is used to heat the electric heating sheet, thereby performing heat therapy on the patient's ankle, improving the comfort of the patient during training, and improving the rehabilitation effect.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
