Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices, and particularly to a foot rehabilitation device based on liquid flexible contact. Background Art

[0002] Foot rehabilitation is an important part of the functional reconstruction for patients with lower limb dysfunction caused by diseases, surgeries, or traumas. The ankle pump exercise is a simple and effective lower limb rehabilitation method. By repeatedly flexing and extending the ankle joint, it simulates the natural blood pumping mechanism during walking, thereby promoting blood circulation in the lower limbs, reducing venous stasis, and preventing thrombus formation. This exercise has a significant effect on improving blood circulation in the feet and enhancing the strength and flexibility of the muscles around the ankle joint. The foot rehabilitation device is designed based on the principle of the ankle pump exercise. Traditional rehabilitation devices mostly adopt rigid support structures or fixed pressure distribution designs, having two major pain points: First, static support is difficult to adapt to the dynamic biomechanical changes of the foot, easily causing local pressure concentration and resulting in secondary soft tissue injuries; Second, there is a lack of precise control over temperature, motion patterns, and the foot microenvironment, affecting blood circulation and rehabilitation efficiency. In addition, existing devices generally cannot meet the dual requirements of rehabilitation training and in-bed rehabilitation. Patients need to change devices when switching body positions, which not only increases the operation complexity but also affects the continuity of rehabilitation.

[0003] To address the above problems, the present technology proposes a foot rehabilitation device based on liquid flexible contact. By constructing a partitioned liquid buffer system with a multi-chamber partition, combined with dynamic liquid vesicles, deployable extension plates, and an intelligent temperature control module, it realizes adaptive pressure distribution for the foot, multi-position adaptation, and optimization of the rehabilitation environment, breaking through the rigid limitations of traditional devices and providing a safer, more comfortable, and efficient solution for foot rehabilitation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing devices that mostly adopt rigid support structures or fixed pressure distribution designs, which are difficult to adapt to the dynamic biomechanical changes of the foot, easily cause local pressure concentration, resulting in secondary soft tissue injuries, and lack precise control over temperature, motion patterns, and the foot microenvironment, the present invention provides a foot rehabilitation device based on liquid flexible contact.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, it further includes a pulling rope, the middle of the shoe base is connected through the pulling rope, the pulling rope is slidably connected with the shoe base, twelve liquid vesicles are arranged on the pulling rope, and water inlet pipes are connected between the liquid vesicles.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. The present invention constructs independent partitions through the main body of the rehabilitation shoe and the multi-chamber partition in the side cover. The buffer space at the leftmost end is combined with the injection of temperature-controlled liquid in the remaining partitions to form a gradient pressure buffer layer. Cooperating with the twelve liquid vesicles in the middle of the shoe base, when the pulling rope slides, the water flow distribution in the vesicles is dynamically adjusted, so that the plantar pressure is dispersed in real time with the gait, using the flexibility of the liquid to improve the comfort and safety of the patient during use. At the same time, it simulates the ankle pump movement of the foot, and through the angle and time of the ankle movement, quantitative management is achieved, improving the effect of rehabilitation training.

[0015] 2. The present invention realizes the rapid switching between the walking and lying modes through the hinged structure of the connecting frame and the extension plate. When walking, the extension plate is folded up to ensure natural gait. When lying flat, it unfolds to form an adjustable support plane to stabilize the foot and prevent abnormal swinging. At the same time, the airbag at the left end of the shoe base drives the ankle to flex and extend through periodic inflation and deflation, simulating the activation of muscle groups in normal gait.

A pulling rope 8 is connected through the middle of the shoe base 1, assistive balls are arranged at both the left and right ends of the pulling rope 8, the pulling rope 8 is slidably connected with the shoe base 1, twelve liquid vesicles 9 are arranged on the pulling rope 8, the liquid vesicles 9 can provide support and protection for the patient's sole after being filled with water, a water inlet pipe 10 is connected between the liquid vesicles 9, two symmetrically arranged connecting frames 11 are rotatably connected to the right part of the shoe base 1, an extension plate 12 is rotatably connected to each of the connecting frames 11, the extension plate 12 can be unfolded when the patient lies flat to provide stable support for the patient's foot and prevent the patient's foot from swinging. Two air bags 13 are arranged on the left part inside the shoe base 1, an air inlet pipe 14 is arranged on the air bags 13, the continuous expansion and contraction of the air bags 13 can assist the front end of the patient's foot to perform slight movements to assist in rehabilitation training. A temperature control component 15 is arranged inside the shoe base 1, the temperature control component 15 is used to control the temperature of the entire device and the liquid in the space to improve comfort. Fixed plates 16 are arranged on both the left and right sides of the shoe base 1, fasteners 17 are slidably connected to the fixed plates 16, the fasteners 17 are slidably connected with the pulling rope 8, and springs 18 are connected between the fasteners 17 and the adjacent fixed plates 16.

[0027] It should be noted that when the patient wears the device, first, the split rehabilitation shoe side cover 3 is adapted to the rehabilitation shoe body 2, and the wrapping range of the side cover is adjusted by the adhesion of the first magic tape 4 on the left side and the second magic tape 5 on the right side. The multi-layer inner cavity partitions 6 inside the rehabilitation shoe body 2 and the side cover form independent spaces. The leftmost space is filled with buffer materials to protect the front end of the foot, and the remaining spaces are filled with temperature-controlled liquid through the water inlet 7 to form a flexible contact layer to disperse the foot pressure.
