Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of training devices, in particular to a quadriceps training device. Background Art
[0002] The quadriceps femoris is the most important muscle group in the human thigh. It is not only responsible for the main force in daily walking, going up and down stairs, squatting and other movements, but also responsible for the stability of the knee joint, especially the anterior-posterior stability of the patella and knee joint. Patients who need to stay in bed after major surgery are at risk of lower limb venous thrombosis, practical muscle atrophy, lower limb swelling and other risks due to limited movement. Patients need to be guided to perform early functional exercises in bed. Quadriceps femoris static contraction training is the simplest and most practical exercise method for quadriceps femoris after surgery. It can squeeze the blood vessels between muscles through the contraction and relaxation of muscles, promote the return of veins and lymph, improve blood circulation, reduce limb swelling, increase muscle strength, and promote postoperative recovery. However, the effect is often affected by the patient's inadequate training movements or insufficient training volume. Therefore, a pressure-measurable and countable quadriceps femoris static training auxiliary symptom is needed to change the current situation and achieve training effects.
[0003] Existing devices generally use exercise chairs to train the quadriceps. Patients need to sit on the chair and lift their legs, which creates a certain amount of tension on the legs. This creates a weight when lifting the legs, which can exercise the quadriceps. However, this is inconvenient for patients with limited mobility. Existing methods usually perform exercises on the bed, placing a rolled towel under the patient's popliteal fossa and forcing the knees to press down. This exercise method has a small range of motion, and patients often do not perform the exercises correctly and do not reach the required number of training times, resulting in poor training results. Therefore, a bed-based quadriceps exercise device was designed to address the above-mentioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0030] The quadriceps femoris is the most important muscle group in the human thigh. It is not only responsible for the main force in daily walking, going up and down stairs, squatting and other movements, but also responsible for the stability of the knee joint, especially the anterior-posterior stability of the patella and knee joint. Patients who need to stay in bed after major surgery are at risk of lower limb venous thrombosis, practical muscle atrophy, lower limb swelling and other risks due to limited movement. Patients need to be guided to perform early functional exercises in bed. Quadriceps femoris static contraction training is the simplest and most practical exercise method for quadriceps femoris after surgery. It can squeeze the blood vessels between muscles through the contraction and relaxation of muscles, promote the return of veins and lymph, improve blood circulation, reduce limb swelling, increase muscle strength, and promote postoperative recovery. However, the effect is often affected by the patient's inadequate training movements or insufficient training volume. Therefore, a pressure-measurable and countable quadriceps femoris static training auxiliary symptom is needed to change the current situation and achieve training effects.
[0031] In the related art, the existing devices generally use an exercise chair to exercise the quadriceps. The patient needs to sit on the chair and lift his legs. In this process, a certain pulling force will be applied to the legs, so that there is weight when lifting the legs, which can exercise the quadriceps. However, it is inconvenient for patients with limited mobility. The existing method is to exercise on the hospital bed and put a towel roll under the patient's popliteal fossa to let the knees press down hard. This exercise method has a small amplitude. The patient's training movements are usually not standard, and the number of training times is not reached, so the training effect is poor.
[0032] In order to solve the problems in the related art to a certain extent, the embodiment of the present application provides a quadriceps trainer. When it is necessary to exercise the quadriceps of a patient who is inconvenient to move, first place the base plate 11 flat on the bed, then place the patient's legs on the shell 12, and place the popliteal fossa on the cross bar 24. At this time, you only need to straighten your legs and press down. At this time, the downward force drives the slider 23 to slide downward inside the shell 12, and at the same time compresses the spring 22. At this time, the pressure exerted on the pressure sensor 21 is displayed on the display screen 25. When a certain value is reached, it is necessary to start the timer 26, maintain this action for 5 seconds, and then lift the leg upward. At the same time, the spring 22 rebounds and pushes the slider 23 to slide upward, driving the cross bar 24 to move upward. Repeat the above method many times to exercise the quadriceps of the leg.
[0033] The present application is described below with reference to specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0034] Combine Figures 1-4 , an embodiment of the present application provides a quadriceps trainer, comprising: a base plate 11 with a shell 12 on the top; a training component 2 is provided inside the shell 12, and the training component 2 includes: a pressure sensor 21 fixedly arranged on the bottom inner wall of the shell 12; a spring 22 is arranged inside the shell 12, and the bottom end is connected to the pressure sensor 21; a slider 23 is fixedly arranged on the top of the spring 22; a cross bar 24 is arranged on the inner side of the shell 12, and the two ends are fixedly connected to the slider 23; a display screen 25 is arranged on the outer wall of the shell 12, and is connected to the pressure sensor 21 through a data line for displaying the pressure value; a timer 26 is arranged on the outer wall of the shell 12.
[0035] Specifically, the pressure sensor 21 is a MEMS resistive pressure sensor, and the display screen 25 is NTS-4800, which can display the pressure value in real time when the pressure sensor 21 detects the pressure. The timer 26 is XE78J0201-CHJ.
[0036] During use, when it is necessary to exercise the quadriceps of a patient who is inconvenient to move, first place the base plate 11 flat on the bed, then place the patient's legs on the shell 12, and put the popliteal fossa on the cross bar 24. At this time, you only need to straighten the legs and press down. At this time, the downward force drives the slider 23 to slide downward inside the shell 12, and at the same time compresses the spring 22. At this time, the pressure exerted on the pressure sensor 21 is displayed on the display screen 25. When a certain value is reached, it is necessary to start the timer 26, maintain this action for 5 seconds, and then lift the legs upward. At the same time, the spring 22 rebounds and pushes the slider 23 to slide upward, driving the cross bar 24 to move upward. Repeat the above method many times to exercise the quadriceps of the legs.
[0037] In some embodiments, the crossbar 24 is designed as a cylindrical rod.
[0038] When in use, the crossbar 24 is designed as a cylindrical rod with a smoother surface, which can reduce discomfort when placed in the popliteal fossa.
[0039] In some embodiments, the training component 2 further includes: a vertical rod 27 disposed on the inner side of the spring 22 , with the top end penetrating the slider 23 and connected to the inner wall of the housing 12 , and the bottom end connected to the spring 22 .
[0040] During use, the design of the vertical rod 27 can ensure that when the spring 22 is squeezed and compressed, the vertical rod 27 will limit the spring 22 and keep it from bending, thereby extending the service life of the spring 22.
[0041] In some embodiments, the training assembly 2 further includes a sponge cover 28 sleeved on the outer side wall of the cross bar 24 .
[0042] The design of the sponge cover 28 during use uses a soft material so that it will not scratch the patient when in contact with the patient's skin, thereby improving comfort.
[0043] In some embodiments, a limiting component 3 is provided on the outer wall of the shell 12, and the limiting component 3 includes: a tube body 31 provided on the outer wall of the shell 12; one end of the telescopic rod 32 is inserted into the interior of the tube body 31; and both ends of the arc rod 33 are connected to one end of the telescopic rod 32.
[0044] During use, in order to ensure that the length can be adjusted according to the patient's calf length when pressing the leg down, the telescopic rod 32 is pulled out from the inside of the tube body 31, and then the curved rod 33 can be hooked with the foot to straighten the leg and press it down, which can limit the patient's ankle from shaking left and right and assist the patient in completing the movement.
[0045] In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 3 further includes: a bottom end of a bolt 34 passes through an outer side wall of one end of the tube body 31 and is threadedly connected to the tube body 31 .
[0046] During use, the bolt 34 can be arranged so that after the length of the telescopic rod 32 is adjusted, the bottom end of the bolt 34 is rotated so as to abut against the telescopic rod 32 and squeeze and fix the position of the telescopic rod 32 .
[0047] In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 3 further includes: a rectangular rod 35 disposed inside the telescopic rod 32 , and one end of which penetrates the inner wall of the telescopic rod 32 and is connected to the inner wall of the tube body 31 .
[0048] During use, the telescopic rod 32 is extended and retracted inside the tube body 31 while the rectangular rod 35 is drawn out from the inside of the telescopic rod 32 . The design of the rectangular rod 35 can ensure that the telescopic rod 32 does not move while moving.
[0049] In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 3 further includes a baffle 36 disposed at one end of the rectangular rod 35 .
[0050] The design of the baffle 36 can prevent the rectangular rod 35 from being separated from the telescopic rod 32 during use, while limiting the telescopic rod 32 from being drawn out from the interior of the tube body 31 .
