Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an auxiliary ankle pump exercise device. Background Art
[0002] Ankle pump exercise refers to the movement of the ankle joint, which acts like a pump to promote blood circulation and lymphatic return in the lower limbs. Studies have shown that by simply flexing and extending the ankle, increasing the peak velocity of femoral vein blood flow can effectively promote blood circulation in patients, reduce the occurrence of lower limb venous thrombosis and promote the recovery of lower limb muscle strength.
[0003] In the ankle pump exercise, the "circular movement" that combines plantar flexion, inversion, dorsiflexion, and eversion of the ankle joint is more effective in increasing the peak velocity of femoral vein blood flow than doing ankle pump exercises alone. Existing ankle pump exercise devices all fix the movement direction of the ankle. The foot can only perform dorsiflexion or plantar flexion with the ankle joint as the point, and cannot perform inversion, eversion, etc., which has a poor effect on promoting blood circulation in the entire lower limb.
