Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical appliances, in particular to a walker for mobility training of mentally handicapped children. Background Art

[0002] Children with mental disabilities, including those with cerebral palsy, brain trauma, or post-orthopedic surgery, often have difficulty walking or abnormal gait due to physical or nervous system damage. These children need additional support and assistance in mobility training to improve their walking ability, balance, and coordination. Walkers, as an assistive device, can effectively help these children with mobility training and promote their rehabilitation and development.

[0003] The patent with the announcement number CN212308374U discloses a multifunctional walker, including a left armrest, a right armrest, and a retractable left front leg, a left rear leg, a right front leg, and a right rear leg.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0019] See also Figures 1 to 3 A walker for mobile training of mentally handicapped children comprises two support plates 1 parallel to each other, both support plates 1 are fixedly connected with U-shaped support tubes 2, the lower surfaces of both support plates 1 are fixedly connected with universal wheels 3, two telescopic mechanisms 4 are fixedly connected between the two U-shaped support tubes 2, a height adjustment mechanism 5 is fixedly connected with the upper surface of the support plate 1, an armpit support 6 is detachably connected with the height adjustment mechanism 5, a protective component 7 is arranged on the U-shaped support tube 2, and mutually offset baffles 8 are fixedly connected with the sides of the two support plates 1.

[0020] The walker for training children with mental disabilities in the utility model is similar in structure to the existing multifunctional walker, such as the patent with announcement number CN212308374U which discloses a multifunctional walker. The main improvement of the utility model is that the width of the walker and the height of the armpit support 6 can be adjusted according to the height and body shape of the patient by using the telescopic rod 401 and the height adjustment mechanism 5, so that the size of the walker can be suitable for the patient, the support effect of the walker is improved, and the comfort of the patient is improved. In addition, the patient can be protected after training tired to prevent the patient from falling due to exhaustion. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the walker for mobility training of mentally handicapped children in the utility model, when in use, the length of the telescopic rod 401 is adjusted according to the body shape of the patient, and the first tightening bolt 402 is tightened to adjust the width of the walker, and then the first connecting rod 505 is rotated so that the first connecting rod 505 moves upward with the rotation of the threaded rod 504, thereby adjusting the height of the armpit support 6. When the height of the armpit support 6 is adjusted, if the arc plate 602 of the armpit support 6 is not parallel to the support plate 1, the restriction of the second tightening bolt 10 on the armpit support 6 can be released, and the height of the armpit support 6 can be adjusted. After adjusting the angle of the arc plate 602, re-tighten the second tightening bolt 10. At the same time, put on the protective briefs 701 for the patient, and adjust the length of the cloth strip 702 through the metal adjustment buckle 703, so that the height of the protective briefs 701 can be adjusted to be more suitable for patients of different heights. Put the patient's armpits on the armpit support 6 to carry out movement training. During the training process, when the patient moves to a place with obstacles, the baffle 8 first contacts the obstacle, thereby preventing the patient from hitting the obstacle and improving the patient's stability.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 4 includes a telescopic rod 401 fixed on the U-shaped support tube 2 , and a first tightening bolt 402 is threadedly connected to the telescopic rod 401 .

[0022] Specifically, the length of the telescopic rod 401 is adjusted according to the body shape of the patient, and the first tightening bolt 402 is tightened to adjust the width of the walker so as to be more suitable for patients of different body shapes.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the height adjustment mechanism 5 includes a first round tube 501 fixed on the support plate 1, an internal thread 502 is opened inside the first round tube 501, the upper end of the first round tube 501 is fixedly connected to the second round tube 503, a threaded rod 504 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 502, the upper end of the threaded rod 504 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 505, and the outer side of the first connecting rod 505 is fixedly connected to the first L-shaped support rod 506.

[0024] Specifically, by rotating the first connecting rod 505, the first connecting rod 505 moves upward with the rotation of the threaded rod 504, thereby adjusting the height of the armpit support 6 on the first connecting rod 505, and the first L-shaped support rod 506 can be convenient for the patient to place his arm on it and hold the front end of the first L-shaped support rod 506.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the armpit support 6 includes a second L-shaped support rod 601 placed on the upper end of the first connecting rod 505, the upper end of the second L-shaped support rod 601 is fixedly connected with an arc plate 602, a circular hole 603 is opened on the second L-shaped support rod 601, and a protective pad 604 is fixedly connected to the surface of the arc plate 602.

[0026] Specifically, the second L-shaped support rod 601 allows a certain distance between the arc plate 602 and the support plate 1 and the U-shaped support tube 2 to prevent the patient's legs from contacting the support plate 1 or the U-shaped support tube 2 on both sides after the width is adjusted, thereby preventing the patient's legs from moving.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a threaded hole 9 is formed at the upper end of the first connecting rod 505 , and the armpit support 6 is connected to the height adjustment mechanism 5 via a second tightening bolt 10 .

[0028] Specifically, when the height of the axillary support 6 is adjusted, when the arc plate 602 of the axillary support 6 is not parallel to the support plate 1, the restriction of the axillary support 6 by the second tightening bolt 10 can be released. After the angle of the arc plate 602 is adjusted, the second tightening bolt 10 can be retightened, and when the patient does not need to use the axillary support 6, it can also be removed.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the protective component 7 includes protective briefs 701, four cloth strips 702 are fixedly connected to the protective briefs 701, and the four cloth strips 702 are all connected to metal adjustment buckles 703, a second connecting rod 704 on the U-shaped support tube 2, and two mutually parallel limiting rods 705 are fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 704, and the front end of the cloth strip 702 bypasses the second connecting rod 704 to be connected to the metal adjustment buckle 703.

[0030] Specifically, the patient puts on the protective briefs 701 and adjusts the length of the cloth strips 702 through the metal adjustment buckle 703, so that the height of the protective briefs 701 can be adjusted to be more suitable for patients of different heights. When the patient is exhausted after training, after the patient sits down, the four cloth strips 702 jointly exert a pulling force on the protective briefs 701, thereby preventing the patient from sitting directly on the ground or falling.

[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art may still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
