Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a lower limb hip joint and knee joint exercise device, belonging to the technical field of lower limb exercise equipment. Background Art

[0002] Patients who are bedridden for a long time due to heart failure, stroke, paralysis or other reasons will quickly lose muscle and their joints will gradually contract and deform. When the joints are immobilized for a long time, the soft tissues around the joints will slowly lose elasticity and become stiff and weak due to loss of lubrication, making the joints more inflexible. This is especially true for the lower limbs. If the lower limb muscles atrophy and the hip and knee joints are stiff, it will cause disuse paralysis of the patient's lower limbs, which will affect the patient's standing and walking when he wakes up or can get out of bed. Therefore, it is crucial for long-term bedridden patients to perform lower limb functional exercises. The best time to exercise is as early as possible without affecting the patient's condition. The exercise should be performed step by step according to the patient's actual situation so as to achieve better rehabilitation treatment effects and shorten the course of the disease. Therefore, it is very necessary to help long-term bedridden patients do some lower limb exercises. Utility Model Content
