[0036] It should be noted that the raised member 400 of the present utility model forms point contact between the sole skin and muscles, producing a better squeezing and stimulating massage effect, being able to press the sole of the foot more deeply, and strengthening the blood and tissue fluid circulation of the sole skin and muscles when acting on the sole skin and muscles. And the raised member 400 is made of an elastic material such as silicone.

[0037] The usage method of the ankle pump exercise assist device of the present utility model is as follows: Place the ankle pump exercise assist device beside the bed or chair to ensure the stability of the support frame 100; then, according to the leg size and needs of the user, adjust the tightness of the fixing strap 500 to ensure that the leg is firmly fixed but not too tight. The user lies in bed or sits on a chair, places the foot on the pedal 200, and performs ankle pump exercises through the pedal 200, thereby performing lower limb rehabilitation training, promoting blood circulation, accelerating the rehabilitation process, and preventing thrombus formation.

[0038] The ankle pump exercise assist device is composed of simple devices such as a support frame 100, a pedal 200, a damper 300, and a detection component. The overall structure is simple, so the production cost is relatively low. Moreover, the present utility model is easy to use.

[0045] It should be noted that the pedal 200 of this embodiment can be extended or shortened according to the soles of different sizes. Moreover, when extended, the upper surfaces of the first vertical rods 212 and the upper surfaces of the second vertical rods 222 disperse simultaneously, and the middle area of the sole can also be massaged.

[0046] The damper 300 is provided with a spring 310, an upper insert 320 and a lower insert 330. The two ends of the spring 310 are respectively connected to the upper insert 320 and the lower insert 330. The upper insert 320 is detachably assembled to the pedal 200, and the lower insert 330 is detachably assembled to the bottom plate 120; the pedal 200 is provided with an upper slot (not shown in the figure) matching the upper insert 320, and the upper insert 320 can be detachably assembled to the upper slot; the bottom plate 120 is provided with a lower slot (not shown in the figure) matching the lower insert 330, and the lower insert 330 can be detachably assembled to the lower slot.

[0047] It should be noted that the spring 310 of the present utility model is detachably assembled with the bottom plate 120 and the pedal 200 through the upper insertion strip 320 and the lower insertion strip 330. Therefore, the spring 310 with different elastic strengths can be replaced according to the user's situation to adapt to users with different ankle movement degrees. Moreover, by using the upper insertion strip 320 and the lower insertion strip 330, the upper insertion strip 320 and the lower insertion strip 330 can be inserted from the side of the ankle pump exercise assistance device without flipping the pedal 200 and stretching the spring 310, as Figure 4 shown.
