Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a device for exercising the active flexion and extension function of a knee joint after total knee replacement. Background Art
[0002] After total knee replacement surgery, a knee joint active flexion and extension function training device is needed to promote patient recovery. The patent publication number is 202020108073.3, which discloses a knee joint active flexion and extension function training device after total knee replacement surgery, including: a base plate, a foot pedal, a left column, a right column, a winding drum, a front drive component, a rear drive component, a left grip and a right grip; under normal circumstances, the patient places his feet on the foot pedal, and the patient uses the strength of his legs to drive the foot pedal to slide forward or backward to actively flex and extend the knee joint; if the patient is unable to actively move to a reasonable range due to pain or insufficient strength in the lower limbs, the patient can hold the left grip and the right grip with both hands for auxiliary exercise; compared with the existing technology, the utility model is beneficial for the patient to perform active flexion and extension exercises of the affected limb after surgery.

[0022] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, by setting up the movable mechanism 6, the foot pedal 4 can be driven to move, thereby avoiding the foot pedal 4 being unable to move automatically, resulting in the patient's knee joint being unable to be exercised, and improving the patient's recovery effect.
[0023] refer to Figure 2 A weight-reducing groove 7 is provided on the front side of the foot pedal 4 , the weight-reducing groove 7 is located at the top of the box body 1 , and the weight-reducing groove 7 is located at the bottom of the limiting belt 5 .
[0024] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, by providing the weight-reducing groove 7 , the weight of the foot pedal 4 can be reduced, thereby avoiding the foot pedal 4 being too heavy, resulting in a high working pressure of the motor 61 , and improving the movement stability of the foot pedal 4 .
[0025] refer to Figure 2 , both sides of the slider 3 are fixedly connected with a shielding cloth 8, the surface of the shielding cloth 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide 2, and the shielding cloth 8 is located at the bottom of the foot pedal 4.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 The top of the foot pedal 4 is fixedly connected with a convex point 9, the number of the convex points 9 is several, and the convex points 9 are distributed at equal distances.
[0028] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, by setting the protrusion 9, the friction between the foot pedal 4 and the patient can be increased, avoiding the small friction between the foot pedal 4 and the patient, resulting in sliding between the foot pedal 4 and the patient, thereby improving the working efficiency of the foot pedal 4.
[0029] refer to Figure 2 The surface of the output end of the motor 61 is provided with a stabilizing sleeve 10 , the top of the stabilizing sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the box body 1 , and the shape of the stabilizing sleeve 10 is circular.
[0030] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, by providing a stabilizing sleeve 10 , the output end of the motor 61 can be stabilized, thereby preventing the output end of the motor 61 from tilting during rotation, thereby improving the stability of the motor 61 .
[0031] refer to Figure 2 Pulleys 11 are provided on the front and rear sides of the tooth plate 63. The pulleys 11 are hinged to the inner wall of the box body 1 through a connecting block and a pin. There are several pulleys 11, and the pulleys 11 are distributed at equal distances.
[0032] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, by setting the pulley 11, the sliding of the tooth plate 63 can be stabilized, avoiding shaking during the sliding movement of the tooth plate 63, which causes the tooth plate 63 to loosen, and improves the sliding stability of the tooth plate 63.
[0033] The working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: when in use, the patient puts the sole of the foot into the limiting belt 5 and places it on the top of the foot pedal 4 when exercising, and starts the motor 61. The motor 61 drives the gear 62 to rotate, and the gear 62 drives the front tooth plate 63 to move to the left. At the same time, the gear 62 drives the rear tooth plate 63 to move to the right, and the tooth plate 63 drives the slider 3 and the foot pedal 4 to move to the side away from the motor 61. The foot pedal 4 drives the patient's feet to move. During the movement of the patient's feet, the knee joints are constantly opened and closed for exercise, thereby having the advantage of efficiently restoring the knee joint.
[0034] To sum up: the device for exercising the active flexion and extension function of the knee joint after total knee replacement, through the coordinated use of the box 1, the slide 2, the slider 3, the foot pedal 4, the limiting belt 5 and the movable mechanism 6, solves the problem that there is only one foot pedal on the device, and when the patient has undergone total knee replacement on both legs, it is impossible to exercise and recover both knees at the same time. The foot pedal is driven to move by winding the pull rope by the winding roller. The winding roller is located directly above the foot pedal. When the patient's foot drives the calf and knee joint to move, the patient's calf is likely to touch the winding roller, and the winding roller will block the patient's calf from continuing to move, resulting in the patient's knee joint opening and closing angle being restricted, thereby reducing the patient's knee joint recovery effect.
