[0026] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0027] Example: Figure 1 As shown, the home stepping training mat for preventing the elderly from falling in this embodiment includes a rectangular mat body 1, one side of the mat body 1 is set as a surface layer, and the surface layer is provided with a plurality of treading areas 11 distributed in an array along its length and width directions. The treading area 11 is a sandwich structure, and the surface of the treading area 11 is provided with a light-transmitting marking area 12. An indicator light b is provided at a position corresponding to the marking area 12 in the treading area 11, and a pressure sensor c is provided in the treading area 11. A control host 2 is provided on the surface of one end of the mat body 1, and the indicator light and pressure sensor are respectively connected to the control host 2 through lines. A voice announcer 3 connected to the control host 2 is provided on the surface of one end of the mat body 1.
[0028] The home stepping training mat for preventing falls for the elderly in this embodiment is mainly used for fall prevention training for the elderly at home. It can provide safe, effective and convenient lower limb training guidance for the elderly, help improve the elderly's cognitive function and balance function, and prevent falls. The details are as follows:
[0029] Taking a training mat that is 3 meters long and 1 meter wide as an example, 40 square grids of 25×25 square centimeters are set in the trademark name of the mat body 1, and each small grid refers to a stepping area 11. A control host 2 is embedded on the surface of one end of the mat body 1. The control host 2 has a display screen. The display screen has a human-computer interaction interface. The control host 2 can be operated on the display screen to switch the lighting mode (sequence) and is assisted by voice prompts. In the stepping area 11, each square grid is provided with an indicator light and a pressure sensor. The control host 2 has a built-in timer. The order in which the indicator lights of different grids light up is used to guide the user to perform different stepping training sequences. The pressure sensor and timer are used to detect whether the stepping training is completed in accordance with the established stepping sequence and time requirements. An operation button for adjusting the mode is provided near the control host 2, which is connected to it to facilitate the user to adjust the training intensity.
[0030] It should be noted that the elderly can practice forward, sideways, backward, and diagonal stepping on the mat body 1 according to the voice prompts and light prompts. Before each stepping mode exercise begins, the grid indicator lights corresponding to the stepping sequence will light up one after another and then go out. The user can remember the order in which the different grid indicator lights light up one after another, which helps to exercise short-term memory and spatial cognition. During formal training, the indicator lights on the training mat can be set to not light up. After each stepping training is completed, the system will prompt whether the stepping is completed as required and display the stepping time. After completing multiple stepping trainings of the same mode, the system will remind you to "speed up the pace" or "upgrade the difficulty." By gradually increasing the difficulty of the exercise and changing the stepping rhythm, it can not only maintain the user's interest in training, but also motivate them to constantly challenge themselves and further improve the effect of preventing falls.
[0031] It should be emphasized that the above-mentioned voice prompts and the control of lighting on and off are all conventional technical designs of existing smart products. Their specific control can refer to the design of existing human-computer interactive smart products and will not be elaborated here.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment, a foot-shaped stepping mark a is provided on the surface of the stepping area 11 at a position corresponding to the area above the pressure sensor.
[0033] In the above embodiment, the stepping mark can prompt the user to correctly step on the effective position of each grid, thereby triggering the sensing of the pressure sensor.
[0034] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the other side of the pad body 1 is set as a rough surface d. More specifically, the other side of the pad body 1 is evenly covered with rubber sheets, and the rubber sheets constitute the rough surface. Of course, the rough surface can also be corrugated, convex, etc.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the edge of one end and both side edges of the cushion body 1 are respectively provided with a connecting ring 13, the surface of one end of the cushion body 1 is provided with an elastic covering layer 4, the edge of the covering layer 4 is provided with a hook corresponding to the connecting ring 13 one by one, the hook is hung with the connecting ring 13, and a filling cavity is formed between the covering layer 4 and the surface of one end of the cushion body 1, and the other end of the cushion body 1 can be rolled toward one end and loaded into the filling cavity.
[0036] In the above embodiment, when in use, the covering layer 4 can be removed (specifically, the connection between the connecting ring 13 and the hook is released, and then the covering layer 4 is removed). When it is not in use and needs to be stored, the covering layer 4 is installed, and then the cushion body 1 is curled from the other end to one end, and then when it is rolled to one end, it can be completely stuffed into the filling cavity. Since the covering layer 4 is elastic, the elastic force can be used to restrain the curled cushion body, and the whole becomes a columnar shape, which is convenient for storage.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the pad body 1 includes a bottom pad 111 and a surface pad 112 detachably arranged on the surface of the bottom pad 111 , and the surface of the surface pad 112 is provided with the treading area 11 .
[0038] In the above embodiment, the pad body 1 is a split design, and the functional layer for training is on the surface pad 112. When training is not required, the surface pad 112 can be removed, and the bottom pad 111 can be used as a regular pad body to avoid damage to the surface pad 112 due to misoperation when not in use.
[0039] In this embodiment, the bottom layer pad 111 and the surface layer pad 112 are bonded together by a plurality of evenly distributed Velcro strips, so that the two can be easily assembled and disassembled.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, a rectangular interlayer cavity is provided in the base pad 111 , a zipper that can be opened or closed is provided on one long side of the interlayer cavity, and a functional pad e is filled in the interlayer cavity.
[0041] In the above embodiment, since the bottom pad 111 is provided with an interlayer cavity, functional pads of different hardness or thickness can be filled according to the physical requirements of different users to meet different usage requirements.
[0042] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned functional pad layer can be a heating pad. The heating pad can refer to conventional electric blanket products and can be installed in the interlayer cavity of the bottom pad 111. It is very convenient. It can generate heat by turning on the power when in use, which can make the surface of the surface pad 112 warm up. In cold weather, users can also take off their shoes to train and maintain a comfortable foot temperature.
[0043] In this embodiment, the other side of the mat body 1 is further provided with a moisture-proof layer. The design of the moisture-proof layer allows the entire training mat to be used on surfaces such as outdoor grass, with good moisture-proof effect, and is applicable to both home and outdoor use, which is of great promotional significance.
