Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of multi-joint isokinetic training devices, in particular to a knee joint expander used for multi-joint isokinetic training. Background Art

[0002] Isokinetic training is a special type of muscle strength training in which muscles contract at a constant speed throughout their range of motion. This type of training is considered the most effective and safest because it ensures that muscles are trained evenly throughout their range of motion while reducing joint stress and the risk of injury. Initially, isokinetic exercise was mainly used for muscle function assessment and muscle strength training after sports injuries. However, with the continuous deepening of research, isokinetic exercise technology has gradually been applied to the field of rehabilitation medicine.

[0003] Compared with traditional joint training methods, isokinetic exercise has unique advantages. Traditional joint training mainly relies on muscle contraction to rotate the limbs around a certain axis of the joint, and the angular velocity of this rotation is constant. The isokinetic instrument used in isokinetic exercise provides a compliant resistance that can be adjusted according to the size of the muscle contraction tension. Therefore, isokinetic exercise is more suitable for muscle strength recovery and enhancement during rehabilitation or testing.

[0004] For example, a knee joint trainer disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN215505366U includes a column, a connecting block, a fixing block, a rotating shaft assembly, a support rod, a cross rod, a sheath, a connecting rod, a seat plate, a back plate, and a handle. A connecting rod is installed horizontally on the column, and the rear end of the connecting rod is bent upward. A back plate is installed at the rear end of the connecting rod, and the back plate is arranged longitudinally. However, this knee joint trainer has a complex structure, and the coordination and adjustment during the training are inconvenient. It cannot be applied to the requirements of rapid disassembly and assembly training, and it is also expensive. This not only leads to low training efficiency and poor training results, but also increases training costs and reduces the overall user experience. Utility Model Content
