Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to an exercise device for rehabilitation of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Background Art

[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an insidious onset. Clinically, it is characterized by global dementia symptoms, including memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, impaired visual-spatial skills, executive dysfunction, and personality and behavioral changes. The cause remains unknown. Onset before age 65 is termed presenile dementia; onset after age 65 is termed senile dementia.

[0003] In addition to drug prevention and treatment, Alzheimer's disease also requires some preventive treatments. For example, patients can engage in regular physical activities, such as walking, jogging, etc., which can slow the development of Alzheimer's symptoms. However, for some patients with limited mobility, it is inconvenient for them to carry out corresponding activities outdoors, and due to limited space at home, some larger auxiliary exercise equipment cannot be placed at home for patients to use. Therefore, patients cannot get effective exercise, and their condition will gradually worsen, eventually affecting their physical health.

[0004] Therefore, a technical solution to the above problems is needed. Utility Model Content

[0037] Implementation Case 1:

[0038] like Figure 1 The figure shows the overall structure of an exercise device for rehabilitation of patients with Alzheimer's disease according to the present invention.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a motion device for rehabilitation of patients with Alzheimer's disease includes a motion mechanism and a base 2 for mounting the motion mechanism 1.

[0040] The exercise mechanism 1 includes a mounting seat 11 and a driving mechanism and a pedal structure 12 arranged on the mounting seat 11. The driving end of the driving mechanism is connected to the pedal structure 12. The patient can use the pedal structure to link the feet and flex and extend the legs.

[0041] The driving mechanism includes a driving motor 13 and a control terminal 14. The driving motor 13 is electrically connected to the control terminal 14 and is controlled by the control terminal 14. Preferably, the driving motor 13 is a reduction motor, and the control terminal 14 can be a PLC controller.

[0042] The pedal structure 12 includes a rotating disk 15 disposed at the driving end of the drive mechanism and a pedal 16 mounted on the rotating disk. The pedal 16 rotates with the rotating disk 15, allowing the patient to perform leg flexion and extension exercises through the pedal 16 and the rotating disk 15. The pedal 16 is automatically driven by the drive mechanism to move the patient to perform leg flexion and extension exercises, ensuring that the device can be used by elderly patients with cognitive impairment who have poor control, poor compliance with rehabilitation, and poor self-control and physical weakness.

[0043] Preferably, when the pedal structure 12 is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism, the pedal structure 12 extends out of one side of the mounting seat.

[0044] Preferably, the pedal 16 includes a connecting post 161 connected to the side of the rotating disk away from the drive mechanism, an extension post 162 connected to the connecting post 161, and an extension plate 163 connected to the extension post 162. The extension plate 163 is connected to the outer circumference of the extension post 162. The connecting post 161 is hollow, and the extension post 162 can move and rotate within the connecting post 161, so that the extension plate 163 can move with the extension post 162 to the outside of the connecting post 161. The patient can complete leg flexion and extension by stepping on the extension plate 163 and rotating the extension plate 163 and the extension post 162.

[0045] Preferably, an elastic member 164 is further provided between the connecting post 161 and the extension post 162. For example, the elastic member 164 is a spring, which is installed in the connecting post 161, and the extension post 162 is kept extended outside the connecting post by the spring.

[0046] Preferably, a connecting member 165 is further provided between the connecting post 161 and the extension post 162. For example, the connecting member 165 is a tightening belt between the connecting post 161 and the extension post 162, with one end of the tightening belt connected to the end of the connecting post 161 close to the mounting base 11, and the other end connected to the end of the extension post 162 away from the connecting post 161, so that the tightening belt can limit the foot between the connecting post 161 and the extension post 162.

[0047] Furthermore, one end of the tightening belt connected to the connecting post 161 can also rotate on the connecting post 161. For example, a ring can be provided at one end of the tightening belt connected to the connecting post, and the ring can be put on the connecting post 161 and rotated, so that the tightening belt can rotate on the connecting post 161. When the foot and the extension plate 163 rotate, the tightening belt can rotate with the extension plate 163, and the patient's foot is always restrained.

[0048] Preferably, the pedal 16 further includes an anti-skid pad 166 , which can be provided on a side of the extension board 163 to prevent the patient from slipping when stepping on the extension board 163 .

[0049] Preferably, two mounting seats 11 and two pedal structures 12 are provided on the base 2. The pedal structures 12 on the two mounting seats 11 are arranged in opposite directions. This allows the patient to exercise with both feet simultaneously, ensuring patient comfort during exercise. Furthermore, the two mounting seats 11 and pedal structures 12 are separated on both sides and do not affect each other. They can be used on either side or adjusted to different speeds, meeting the varying needs of patients.

[0050] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0051] When in use, the patient can sit on a chair, lift the tightening belt, and insert the foot between the extension plate 163 and the tightening belt. As the foot is inserted, the tightening belt is lifted, and the extension column 162 moves horizontally along the connecting column 161 and into the interior of the connecting column 161. After the extension column 162 moves a certain distance, most of the extension plate 163 is outside the connecting column 161. And under the elastic action of the spring, it can drive the extension column 162 to extend outward from the connecting column 162, so that the extension column 162 can be tightly attached to the patient's foot. The tightening belt restrains the patient's foot and prevents the foot from escaping. Starting the drive mechanism drives the rotating disk 15 to rotate, and the patient's foot can be linked to the leg to flex and extend.

[0052] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the device may be placed horizontally, the base 2 may be fixed to a wall, and the patient may lie down and perform leg flexion and extension exercises.

[0053] Example 2:

[0054] refer to Figure 4 This embodiment provides another exercise device for the rehabilitation of patients with Alzheimer's disease. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: in this embodiment, the movement mechanism 1 is installed on the base 1 and can swing.

[0055] refer to Figure 4 , and also includes an adjustment component, which is arranged inside the base, and its driving end is connected to the mounting seat 11. When the mounting seat 11 is installed on the base 2, the position of the mounting seat 11 can be adjusted, that is, the motion mechanism 1 is adjusted to swing.

[0056] Among them, the adjustment component includes an adjustment drive device 211, a driving gear 212, a steering gear 213, a driven gear 214, a connecting rod 215 and a rotating seat 216 arranged in the base. The adjustment drive device 211 is preferably a drive motor, which is arranged inside the base 2. The driving end of the adjustment drive device 211 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 212. The steering gear 213 can be rotatably installed on the top of the inner cavity of the base 2 and meshes with the outer edge of the driving gear 212. There are two driven gears 214. The outer edges of the two driven gears 214 are respectively meshed with the outer edges of the driving gear 212 and the steering gear 213. The two driven gears 214 are rotatably connected to the top of the base 2 through the connecting rod 215. The rotating seat 216 is provided on the outer top surface of the base 2, and the rotating seat 216 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 11. The top end of the connecting rod 215 also extends out of the base 2 and is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 216. Through the provided direction adjustment gear 213, the two driven gears 214 can rotate in opposite directions under the rotation of the driving gear 213, thereby driving the two rotating seats 216 from longitudinal stationary to transverse stationary through the connecting rod 215, thereby adjusting the direction of the mounting seat 11.

[0057] Preferably, the adjustment component also includes a controller 217. Preferably, the controller 217 can also be a PLC controller. The adjustment drive device 211 and the controller 217 are electrically connected to each other. The controller 217 is set on the surface of the adjustment drive device 211. The adjustment drive device 211 can be controlled by the controller 217, and then the mounting seat 11 (that is, the adjustment motion mechanism 1) can be controlled.

[0058] In this embodiment, the adjusting drive device 211 provided inside the base 2 drives the driving gear 212 to rotate, so that the two driven gears 214 can rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two rotating seats 216 to move accordingly, so that the two mounting seats 11 can remain horizontally flush, thereby changing the orientation of the connecting column 161. At this time, the extension plate 163 is removed, and then the patient can hold the connecting column 161 by hand, and achieve the effect of moving the hand under the rotation of the rotating disk 15, thereby further improving the practicality of the device.

[0059] In this embodiment, the structure of the motion mechanism 1 is consistent with that in the first embodiment and will not be described again here.

[0060] Example 3:

[0061] refer to Figure 5 This embodiment provides another exercise device for the rehabilitation of patients with Alzheimer's disease. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one or two is that: in this embodiment, a lifting component is provided on the base 2, and the lifting of the exercise mechanism 1 can be adjusted by the lifting component, so that the device is suitable for people with different foot lengths or used in different positions, ensuring comfort of use.

[0062] The base 2 includes a shell 22 and a top plate 23 provided on the shell. The mounting seat 11 is mounted on the base 2 by being mounted on the top plate 23 .

[0063] The lifting assembly includes a telescopic rod 24 installed between the housing 22 and the top plate 23 and a lifting drive device 25 for driving the top plate 23 to move up and down relative to the housing 22 .

[0064] Preferably, the top plate 23 is mounted on all sides of the housing 22 via telescopic rods 24 , so that the top plate 23 can be raised and lowered in the housing 22 and maintains the stability of the top plate 23 when being raised and lowered on the housing 22 .

[0065] The lifting drive device 25 includes a lifting drive motor 251 and a sleeve 252. The lifting drive motor 251 is installed at the bottom of the shell 22. The driving end of the lifting drive motor 251 is provided with a threaded rod 253. The sleeve 252 is connected to the bottom surface of the top plate 23. The sleeve 252 is preferably a threaded sleeve. The threaded rod 253 can be matched with the threaded sleeve. When the lifting drive motor 251 drives the threaded rod 253 to rotate, the top plate 23 can be raised or lowered on the shell 22 through the cooperation of the threaded rod 253 and the threaded sleeve.

[0066] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the lifting drive device 25 can also be a lifting hydraulic device, which is not limited in this embodiment, as long as it can enable the top plate to be lifted and lowered on the shell.

[0067] In this embodiment, by providing a lifting assembly, the height of the motion mechanism can be adjusted to suit different patients and ensure comfort of use.

[0068] In this embodiment, the structure of the motion mechanism is consistent with that in the first embodiment and will not be described again here.

[0069] The above descriptions are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
