Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical clinical equipment, in particular to an ankle pump exercise assistor. Background Art [[ID=**7**]]

[0002] Ankle pump exercise is a common disease functional exercise. Through the movement of the ankle joint, it promotes blood circulation and lymphatic return in the lower limbs like a pump. It can not only prevent and eliminate lower limb pain and postoperative swelling, but also greatly prevent complications such as lower limb venous thrombosis and foot drop, which is crucial for the recovery of the lower limb function of patients after surgery.

[0003] In the prior art, most often, a mechanical structure is used to assist the patient's ankle to perform flexion and extension movements and circumduction movements. For example, a patent of China with the publication number CN212593788U discloses an ankle pump exercise assistor, which includes a fixed base, two pedals and a bracket for supporting the pedals. The pedal includes a bottom plate and a fixing mechanism for fixing the foot length. The pedal rotates in the vertical plane through a first rotating structure, and a second rotating structure is also provided on the pedal, and the axis of the second rotating structure is perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating structure. This kind of assistor enables the ankle to passively perform ankle pump exercise to achieve the effect of promoting blood circulation and lymphatic return in the lower limbs. However, this kind of structure does not enable the patient's ankle to perform active ankle pump exercise. In the long term, the user has a dependence on the assistor and cannot achieve real ankle pump exercise, resulting in poor prevention effect.

[0004] In another Chinese patent document, an ankle pump function exercise assistor with adjustable resistance disclosed with the publication number CN111744143B includes a flat plate. Two right-angled strip plates arranged front and back are fixed at the right end of the flat plate. A guiding and limiting plate is fixed on the outer edge of the end of the right-angled strip plate close to the flat plate. A foot pedal is slidably connected between the guiding and limiting plates, and a resistance adjusting device is arranged between the foot pedal and the right-angled strip plate; when the foot pedal moves, the push-pull rod extends into the guiding sleeve, and the compression spring in the guiding sleeve is further compressed, so as to provide the resistance required by the patient and the patient's leg bends. Although it realizes the adjustment of the resistance of the foot pedal movement to meet the needs of different patients and different postoperative periods; however, the overall morphological structure of this ankle pump assistor is complex, and it is not firmly fixed during use, and the foot is easy to fall off from the structure; and this structure cannot realize the circumduction movement of the ankle joint and the toe flexion movement, so that the ankle pump exercise is restricted and various ankle pump exercises cannot be carried out normally. Summary of the Utility Model

Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also belong to the scope of the present utility model, and the patent protection scope of the present utility model shall be defined by each claim.

[0020] Embodiment

[0021] Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of the implementation manner of the ankle pump exercise assistor of the present utility model is shown.

[0022] The ankle pump exercise assistor of this embodiment includes an annular footrest. The annular footrest includes two footrest rods 1 extending backward from both sides of the foot to the back of the ankle, a leg fixing plate 2 connecting the rear sides of the two footrest rods 1 and extending upward, and a footrest 3 provided on the front side of the footrest rod 1 and sleeved on the front end of the foot sole; the connection part between the footrest rod 1 and the leg fixing plate 2 adopts an arc-shaped bending transition. The footrest rod 1 is a deformable rod body made of polyethylene plastic, and the arc-shaped transition of the footrest rod and the leg fixing plate forms a rotation axis point. To improve comfort, a sponge pad can be provided inside the arc-shaped transition position. The footrest 3 is an annular structure surrounded by a flat surface. A leg sleeve 4 sleeved on the calf is provided at the top of the leg fixing plate 2. The upper two sides of the leg fixing plate 2 are respectively connected to both sides of the upper surface of the footrest 3 through elastic ropes 5 with adjustable lengths.

[0023] The footrest 3 is made of polyethylene plastic, and the width of the footrest 3 is 1 - 5 cm; the annular footrest of the annular structure is directly sleeved from the toe. To improve the comfort of the foot, the outside of the footrest can also be wrapped with cotton material or nylon cloth material.

[0024] The leg fixing plate 2 is a structure adapted to the shape of the calf. An arc-shaped connecting plate 6 adapted to the shape of the calf belly is provided at the top of the leg fixing plate 2. The outside of the arc-shaped connecting plate 6 is integrally wrapped with a nylon cloth layer. The leg fixing plate is also made of polyethylene plastic. The nylon cloth layer can prevent the plastic from directly contacting the leg and ensure comfort when the leg is fixed.

[0025] In one example, Figure 1As shown, the leg sleeve 4 is a polyethylene plastic sleeve with both sides fixedly connected to both sides of the arc-shaped connecting plate 6. The polyethylene plastic sleeve is provided with an opening in the middle corresponding to the front side of the lower leg. The polyethylene plastic sleeve forms a snap ring. During use, it can be directly inserted into the lower leg from the opening, which is convenient to use.

[0026] In another example, the leg sleeve 4 can also be set as an elastic band body with both sides fixedly connected to both sides of the arc-shaped connecting plate 6. The two elastic band bodies are connected by a plug-in buckle, and the plug-in buckle can adopt an existing plug-in connection buckle.

[0027] In a specific example, buckles 7 are provided on both sides of the upper part of the leg fixing plate 2. One end of the elastic cord 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the footrest 3, and the other end is detachably connected to the buckle 7. The buckle 7 can adopt a Japanese character buckle that can adjust the length of the cord.

[0028] To ensure the deformability of the footrest rod 1, the cross-section of the footrest rod 1 is circular, oval or rectangular with rounded corners, and the cross-sectional diameter of the footrest rod 1 is not greater than 1 cm.

[0029] It should be noted that the footrest rod 1 and the leg fixing plate 2 of the ankle pump exercise assistor are integrally formed. To meet the needs of different patients for the size of the feet, the assistor can be set in different sizes of large, medium and small, and the user can choose according to the size of their own feet.

[0030] When the ankle pump exercise assistor of the present utility model is in use, put the toes into the footrest, place the ankle in front of the leg fixing plate, and at the same time, snap the leg sleeve onto the leg. Adjust the length of the elastic cord according to the exercise needs of the user, and then the wearing is completed. Figure 2 As shown; the overall shape of the assistor is light, and the overall shape fits the legs and feet. The patient can perform actions including plantar flexion, dorsiflexion and circumduction of the ankle, ensuring the effective progress of the ankle pump exercise. When the patient needs to change the resistance, just adjust the length of the elastic cord.
