[0031] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a walking trainer for children with cerebral palsy to solve the problems existing in the prior art. It uses a wrapping groove to provide a walking path, and at the same time cooperates with the protective effect of the safety protection part to improve safety, eliminate the fear and anxiety of children with cerebral palsy, improve the training effect, and effectively reduce the burden on trainers and parents.

[0032] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a walking training device for children with cerebral palsy is provided, including a walking limiter, a bracket and a safety protection member. The bracket is arranged on the side of the walking limiter, and the walking limiter is provided with a first groove 1 and a second groove 2 that provide a walking path for the two feet. The first groove 1 and the second groove 2 are arranged in parallel, and the groove depth of the two grooves is the same. The groove depth design needs to be at least greater than the height between the ankle and the sole of the foot. The design of the first groove 1 and the second groove 2 can provide a limiting effect for the walking of children with cerebral palsy. The grooves can wrap the feet of children with cerebral palsy, provide a stronger sense of security, eliminate the fear and anxiety of children with cerebral palsy, and improve the training effect. A safety protection member is provided on the bracket along the walking path, and a connecting part 13 is provided at the end of the safety protection member away from the bracket. The connecting part 13 is used to connect the patient's torso or upper limbs. The safety protection member connects the child with cerebral palsy to the bracket, and can provide a pulling protection effect for the child with cerebral palsy when it falls, thereby improving the safety of use, further eliminating the fear and anxiety of children with cerebral palsy, and correspondingly reducing the burden on trainers and parents.

[0034] Brackets are provided on both sides of the travel limiter, and each bracket is connected to a safety protection piece to improve the protection effect.

[0035] The connecting part 13 is a wristband or a shoulder strap. When a wristband is used, it is connected to the upper limbs of the child with cerebral palsy. When a shoulder strap is used, it is connected to the torso of the child with cerebral palsy. When a wristband is used as the connecting part 13, the wristband is made of pure cotton fabric, which has the advantages of comfort, warmth, durability, processing resistance, and breathability and sweat absorption.

[0036] When the shoulder strap is used as the connecting portion 13 , the safety protection pieces on the two side brackets share one connecting portion 13 .

[0037] In one embodiment, the walking limiter includes a base plate 3, a center plate 4 and a side plate 5. The center plate 4 and the side plates 5 are vertically arranged on the base plate 3. Side plates 5 are arranged on both sides of the center plate 4. A first groove 1 and a second groove 2 are formed between the center plate 4 and the side plates 5 on both sides. Using multiple plates to form the walking limiter can effectively save production costs. The material of the base plate 3, the center plate 4 and the side plates 5 can all be wood or stainless steel.

[0038] The side panels 5 are designed to be detachably connected to the base plate 3. When intensified training is required, the side panels 5 can be actively removed to weaken the wrapping of the first groove 1 and the second groove 2 to enhance the training effect.

[0039] The side panels 5 and the base plate 3 can be detachably connected by bolt connection, plug connection, etc.

[0040] The design of the detachable connection between the side panels 5 and the center panel 4 makes the distance between the side panels 5 and the center panel 4 adjustable, and the width of the groove can be adjusted according to the size of the feet of children with cerebral palsy, so that it has better wrapping and correction capabilities. Specifically: when the side panels 5 are bolted to the base panel 3, multiple bolt holes can be set on the base panel 3 in a direction close to or away from the center panel 4, and different bolt holes can be selected for bolt connection with the side panels 5, thereby adjusting the distance between the side panels 5 and the center panel 4; when the side panels 5 are plugged into the base panel 3, multiple sockets can be set on the base panel 3 in a direction close to or away from the center panel 4, and the pins at the bottom of the side panels 5 can be selected to be inserted into different sockets, thereby adjusting the distance between the side panels 5 and the center panel 4.

[0041] In one embodiment, the design of the center plate 4 can be eliminated, and the first groove 1 and the second groove 2 can be combined into a combined groove body 14 for children with cerebral palsy to perform linear motion.

[0042] In one embodiment, the travel limiter and the bracket are both provided on the bottom plate 6 , so that the travel limiter and the bracket are integrated and can be transported as a whole, while improving the installation stability of the travel limiter and the bracket.

[0043] The bottom plate 6 can be used as the base plate 3 of the travel limiter to save production costs.

[0044] The material of the bottom plate 6 can be wood, which can reduce the cost and the weight of the entire equipment.

[0045] One end of the base plate 6 along the walking path is hinged to the telescopic device 7, and the end of the telescopic device 7 away from the base plate 6 is hinged to the fixed base. The fixed base can be the ground or a support platform located below the base plate 6. Under this structure, a certain space needs to be provided for the installation of the telescopic device 7, that is, the base plate 6 in the initial horizontal state needs to have a certain height, and the telescopic device 7 is located below one end of the base plate 6; the fixed base can also be a column, and the hinge point of the telescopic device 7 and the column is higher than the hinge point with the base plate 6. At this time, the base plate 6 can be placed directly on the ground; by using the extension and contraction of the telescopic device 7, one end of the base plate 6 can be lifted to simulate climbing or descending, exercise leg muscle strength, improve walking stability and flexibility, and enhance training effect.

[0046] The telescopic device 7 can be an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic telescopic rod, which is controlled by a control system. The staff can control the extension and retraction of the telescopic device 7 by manipulating the control system and actively adjust the inclination of the base plate 6.

[0047] In one embodiment, the bracket includes a horizontally arranged sliding rod 8 and a telescopic rod 9 with a telescopic function. The bottom of both ends of the sliding rod 8 is connected to the telescopic rod 9. The sliding rod 8 slides with the safety protection piece. By adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 9, the height of the safety protection piece can be actively adjusted to adapt to children with cerebral palsy of different heights, thereby improving the scope of application.

[0048] The horizontal height of the sliding rod 8 should be adjusted to be higher than the height of the cerebral palsy child, thereby increasing the height of the safety protection member and improving the protection effect.

[0049] The sliding rod 8 can be made of a wooden rod body or a stainless steel rod body.

[0050] The telescopic rod 9 can be an electric telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod, a hydraulic telescopic rod and a mechanical telescopic rod, etc. The structure of the mechanical telescopic rod includes: a first rod body and a second rod body, the second rod body is sleeved on the outer circumference of the first rod body, and a plurality of locking holes are arranged on the peripheral wall of the second rod body from top to bottom. A hole is opened on the peripheral wall of the first rod body. After the first rod body is lifted to a specified height, the hole corresponds to a locking hole, and a locking pin is inserted into the locking hole and the hole to achieve locking; or a buckle and a spring are used to replace the locking pin, that is, one end of the buckle extends into the first rod body through the hole and is connected to the inner wall of the first rod body by the spring, and the other end is clamped on the locking hole. The upper surface of the end of the buckle clamped in the locking hole is an inclined surface or an arc surface. When the first rod body needs to be extended from the second rod body, it is pulled upward with force, and the buckle is released, allowing the first rod body to be retracted into place; when it needs to be shortened, the buckle is pressed inward, and then the first rod body is pressed downward, and the buckle is adjusted to a suitable angle to release.

[0051] The first rod and the second rod can be made of stainless steel to improve the supporting effect and extend their service life.

[0052] In one embodiment, the safety protection member includes a sliding ring 10 , a connecting rope 11 and a connecting portion 13 . The sliding ring 10 is slidably disposed on the sliding rod 8 of the bracket, and the sliding ring 10 is connected to the connecting portion 13 via the connecting rope 11 .

[0053] A slide rail can be provided on the slide rod 8, and a slide wheel can be provided on the slide ring 10. The slide wheel and the slide rail form a matching slide structure 12 to improve the sliding effect of the slide ring 10 and the slide rod 8 of the bracket.

[0054] The connecting rope 11 is a non-elastic connecting rope, which improves the safety of use.

[0055] The connecting rope 11 is provided with an adjusting buckle for adjusting the length of the connecting rope 11, so as to adjust the distance between the sliding ring 10 and the connecting part 13, thereby adapting to children with cerebral palsy of different heights; the adjusting buckle may also be omitted, and the length of the connecting rope 11 may be shortened by shortening the knot.

[0056] The first groove 1, the second groove 2 and the bracket can all be designed to be U-shaped, which not only extends the training distance, but also places the starting point and the end point of the training at the same end, which helps to reduce the burden on trainers and parents.

[0057] During actual use, the connecting part 13 is connected to the torso or upper limbs of a child with cerebral palsy, and the child with cerebral palsy can exercise along the first groove 1 and the second groove 2. During the exercise, the child with cerebral palsy moves along a predetermined track, while the feet are wrapped by the grooves and the body is protected by the safety protection parts.
