Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical rehabilitation equipment, and in particular to an ankle mobilizer for medical rehabilitation. Background Art

[0002] The ankle is the part of the human body where the foot connects to the leg. Composed of seven tarsal bones, the metatarsal bones of the foot, and the bones of the calf, it serves as a crucial gateway for blood flow between the left and right feet. With the aging population, the rapid development of transportation, and the accelerated pace of life, ankle injuries have become a common orthopedic condition. An ankle injury can cause prolonged immobilization, leading to ankle stiffness and aging. This can cause blood returning to the heart to stagnate near the ankle, impairing normal blood circulation and increasing the burden on the heart. This long-term condition can increase the risk of hypertension. Therefore, ankle injuries require the use of equipment to assist with ankle movement, keeping the ankle flexible and pliable, ensuring smooth blood flow through the ankle and reducing the risk of hypertension. Therefore, we propose an ankle mobilizer for medical rehabilitation.
