The ankle joint is a vital joint in the human body, serving as the energy hub that supports the body's weight and propels the body off the ground. It is also the joint most susceptible to damage from body weight or external impact. Ankle rehabilitation programs can enhance muscle strength and joint mobility, and by stimulating the nervous system, promote nerve reconstruction and recovery. The use of ankle rehabilitation programs not only guides patients on how to correctly perform rehabilitation training, improves its efficiency, and reduces the workload of medical staff, but also facilitates the evaluation of rehabilitation outcomes, enabling the development of appropriate training content for patients. Therefore, ankle rehabilitation programs offer promising value and application prospects.

[0027] An ankle joint rehabilitation device includes a plantar support plate 1, a first drive device 2, a second drive device 3 and a third drive device 4. The output end of the first drive device 2 is provided with a first rotating shaft 5, the first rotating shaft 5 is arranged along the Z-axis direction, the first rotating shaft 5 is connected to a first connecting plate 6, the second drive device 3 is arranged on the first connecting plate 6, the output end of the second drive device 3 is provided with a second rotating shaft 7, the second rotating shaft 7 is arranged along the Y-axis direction, the second rotating shaft 7 is connected to a second connecting plate 8, the third drive device 4 is arranged on the second connecting plate 8, the output end of the third drive device 4 is provided with a third rotating shaft 9, the third rotating shaft 9 is arranged along the X-axis direction, and the plantar support plate 1 is connected to the third rotating shaft 9.

[0028] The utility model is arranged along the Z-axis direction by the first rotating shaft 5, the first rotating shaft 5 is connected to the first connecting plate 6, the second driving device 3 is arranged on the first connecting plate 6, the second rotating shaft 7 is arranged along the Y-axis direction, the second rotating shaft 7 is connected to the second connecting plate 8, the third driving device 4 is arranged on the second connecting plate 8, the third rotating shaft 9 is arranged along the X-axis direction, and the plantar support plate 1 is connected to the third rotating shaft 9, so that the device has three degrees of freedom, which can meet the needs of patients and improve the rehabilitation effect. In addition, the utility model has few parts, a simple mechanical structure, and low cost, and is easy to promote and use. When using it, the patient only needs to put his feet on the plantar support plate to start training.

[0029] It is understandable that the plantar support plate can be provided with an adjustable elastic strap so that when the patient uses the present invention, the elasticity of the foot can be adjusted according to his or her own needs, thereby ensuring that the patient has a more comfortable scene during rehabilitation training.

[0030] The ankle joint rehabilitation device described in this embodiment includes a base 10, a first drive device 2 disposed on the base 10, a connecting groove 11 disposed at the bottom of the first connecting plate 6, a bearing 12 disposed on the inner wall of the connecting groove 11, the top of the base 10 extending into the connecting groove 11, the bearing 12 sleeved on the outer periphery of the base 10, and the first rotating shaft 5 passing through the top of the connecting groove 11 and connected to the first connecting plate 6. Specifically, when the first drive device 2 is in operation, it drives the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate. Since the bearing 12 is disposed, the first connecting plate 6 can rotate along the Z-axis direction on the outer periphery of the base 10 via the bearing 12.

[0031] In the ankle joint rehabilitation device described in this embodiment, the bearing 12 is a tapered roller bearing 12. Specifically, the tapered roller bearing 12 can achieve high load-bearing capacity and better rigidity.

[0033] In the ankle joint rehabilitation device described in this embodiment, a slider 14 is connected to the bottom of the second connecting plate 8. The bottom of the slider 14 is arc-shaped. A base 15 is provided on the top of the first connecting plate 6. The top of the base 15 has an arc-shaped guide groove. The guide groove is provided corresponding to the slider 14. When the second rotating shaft 7 rotates, the slider 14 slides on the guide groove. Specifically, the guide groove and the slider 14 serve as a guide for the rotation of the second connecting plate 8. For patients with ankle joint diseases, this arrangement improves stability and ensures rehabilitation results.

[0034] In the ankle joint rehabilitation device described in this embodiment, both ends of the bottom of the slider 14 protrude downward to form limit blocks 16. Specifically, the limit blocks 16 are set so that the rotation amplitude is limited to a certain range and the slider 14 will not escape from the guide groove.

[0035] In the ankle joint rehabilitation device described in this embodiment, two sliders 14 and two bases 15 are provided, the two sliders 14 are arranged side by side at the bottom of the second connecting plate 8, and the two bases 15 are arranged side by side at the top of the first connecting plate 6. Specifically, the above arrangement further improves stability.

[0036] In the ankle joint rehabilitation device described in this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 5 is located between the two bases 15. Specifically, through the above arrangement, the third driving device 4 is located directly above the first driving device 2, and the overall structure has a better center of gravity and is more stable.

[0037] In the ankle joint rehabilitation device described in this embodiment, a connecting block 17 is provided at the bottom of the plantar support plate 1, and the third rotating shaft 9 is connected to the connecting block 17. Specifically, the plantar support plate 1 and the connecting block 17 are detachable, and the plantar support plate 1 can be disassembled for maintenance and replacement.

[0038] In the ankle joint rehabilitation device described in this embodiment, the first drive device 2, the second drive device 3, and the third drive device 4 all use motors. Specifically, the above arrangement enables all three degrees of freedom to be electrically controlled.

[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
