Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to rehabilitation training, specifically a pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training device for urology patients. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of urological clinical rehabilitation, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction plagues a large number of patients, and restoring pelvic floor muscle function has become a key aspect of improving patients' quality of life. As an important tool for assisting rehabilitation, the technological development of pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training devices has attracted much attention.

[0003] Traditional pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training equipment generally has significant drawbacks. Firstly, in terms of adjusting training intensity, most devices use a single, fixed resistance mode, failing to consider individual differences among patients. Different patients have vastly different needs for training intensity due to variations in the severity of their condition, their physical condition, and their stage of rehabilitation. For example, patients in the early stages of rehabilitation have weak muscles and require lower-intensity training stimulation to gradually awaken the pelvic floor muscles, but traditional equipment cannot provide corresponding light resistance options. Patients in the middle and later stages of rehabilitation have improved muscle strength and desire stronger resistance to achieve further breakthroughs, but fixed-resistance trainers cannot meet this advanced need. This "one-size-fits-all" intensity setting not only fails to achieve the ideal rehabilitation effect but also easily leads to muscle injury due to overtraining or undertraining, severely hindering the patient's rehabilitation process.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need on the market for a better pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training device for urology patients. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide a pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training device for urology patients.

[0030] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training device for urological patients includes two upper core arms 1. The tops of the two upper core arms 1 are connected by a hinge and rotate together. The included angle between the two upper core arms 1 is an acute angle.

[0031] It also includes a lower core arm 2, of which there are two. The lower parts of the two lower core arms 2 are connected by a hinge and rotate together. The included angle between the two lower core arms 2 is an acute angle. The top of the lower core arm 2 and the bottom of the upper core arm 1 are connected by a hinge and rotate together. The two upper core arms 1 and the two lower core arms 2 form a rhombus.

[0032] An upper hook 3 is provided at the hinge connection between the two upper core arms 1, and a lower hook 4 is provided at the hinge connection between the two lower core arms 2. A core tension spring 5 is provided between the upper hook 3 and the lower hook 4.

[0033] It also includes thigh support parts 6, and there are two thigh support parts 6; each thigh support part 6 includes a thigh support plate 7, the projection of the thigh support plate 7 in the top view is arc-shaped, the opening of the thigh support plate 7 faces outward, a restraint strap 8 is fixedly provided on the top of the thigh support plate 7, an inner block 9 is provided in the upper middle part of the back of the thigh support plate 7, a hinge seat 10 is provided on the inner block 9, the side wings of the hinge seat 10 are rotatably engaged with the inner block 9, and the base part of the hinge seat 10 is fixedly set on the upper core arm 1; an auxiliary tension spring 11 is provided in the lower middle part of the back of the thigh support plate 7, and the other end of the auxiliary tension spring 11 is fixedly set on the lower core arm 2; the two thigh support parts 6 are symmetrically arranged.

[0034] Preparation phase:

[0035] First, remove the two thigh support parts 6 and observe their structure. Each thigh support part 6 contains a thigh support plate 7. The thigh support plate 7 is arc-shaped when viewed from above and the opening faces outward. The restraint strap 8 fixed at the top should be free of entanglement and can be used normally. The internal block 9 in the upper middle part of the back, the hinge seat 10 on it, and the auxiliary tension spring 11 in the lower middle part of the back are all in the initial state.

[0036] Upon inspection of the two upper core arms 1, it was confirmed that there are two of them, and the tops of the two upper core arms 1 are connected by a hinge with an acute angle, allowing them to rotate flexibly. The upper hook 3 at the hinge connection point is undamaged and undeformed.

[0037] Similarly, check the two lower core arms 2. There are two lower core arms 2. Their lower parts are hinged together at an acute angle. The top of the hinge is smoothly connected to the bottom of the upper core arm 1. The lower hook 4 at the hinge connection between the lower core arms 2 is intact. The core tension spring 5 connecting the upper hook 3 and the lower hook 4 has normal elasticity and no signs of breakage.

[0038] Wearing and securing:

[0039] The user stands with their legs slightly apart, picks up a thigh support 6 with both hands, and gently places the curved surface of the thigh support plate 7 against the inside of one thigh, ensuring that the thigh support plate 7 is properly positioned and that its opening faces outward in the correct direction.

[0040] Pick up the restraint strap 8, wrap it around your thigh, adjust it to the appropriate tightness, and then fix it in place to ensure that the thigh support 6 is firmly on your thigh and will not slip or shift during subsequent training.

[0041] In the same manner, put on and secure the other thigh support 6 to the inner side of the opposite thigh. At this point, the two thigh supports 6 are symmetrically distributed on the thighs of both legs, and the user should feel comfortable and receive stable support.

[0042] Training operation:

[0043] You can stand or sit with both legs on either side. Keep your body stable and slowly push your legs inward to squeeze the rehabilitation trainer located between your legs.

[0044] As the legs squeeze inward, the two upper core arms 1 and the two lower core arms 2 will deform under stress. Due to their hinged connection, the angle that was originally acute will change, and the rhomboid structure formed by the two will also deform. The core tension spring 5 connecting the upper core arm 1 and the lower core arm 2 will be stretched and lengthened. During this process, the core tension spring 5 will generate resistance force, providing resistance for the training and effectively exercising the pelvic floor muscles.

[0045] Simultaneously, during the inward compression of the thigh, the thigh support plate 7 begins to rotate due to the force. The hinge seat 10 on the inner block 9 in the upper middle part of the back of the thigh support plate 7 flexibly rotates and cooperates with the inner block 9, and the base of the hinge seat 10 is fixed on the upper core arm 1, so that the thigh support plate 7 can adaptively adjust its angle according to the leg movement. The auxiliary tension spring 11 in the lower middle part of the back of the thigh support plate 7 is fixed on the lower core arm 2 at the other end. The auxiliary tension spring 11 also extends and retracts with the leg movement, working together with the core tension spring 5 to provide multi-directional resistance for training, further enhancing the pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training effect.

[0046] Training ended:

[0047] After the training is completed, slowly relax and extend your legs outwards to return the rehabilitation trainer to its initial state and put all parts back in place.

[0048] Untie the restraints 8, carefully remove the two thigh supports 6, and place the entire rehabilitation trainer in a clean, dry, and safe place for next use.

[0049] If the user experiences any discomfort or discovers any abnormalities in the trainer's components during use, they should immediately stop using it and inspect the components or seek professional help.

[0050] Flexible intensity adjustment: The replaceable core tension spring 5 allows the trainer to flexibly adjust the training intensity according to the patient's rehabilitation stage and individual differences. Patients can choose to replace the core tension spring 5 with one of different elastic coefficients based on their own feelings and the doctor's advice, thereby achieving a variety of training intensities from light to heavy, meeting different rehabilitation needs, improving the personalization of training, helping patients gradually strengthen their pelvic floor muscles, and avoiding muscle damage or poor rehabilitation results caused by improper training intensity.

[0051] The replacement process is simple: An upper hook 3 is located at the hinge joint between the two upper core arms 1, and a lower hook 4 is located at the hinge joint between the two lower core arms 2. This design makes the replacement of the core tension spring 5 simple and quick. Patients or medical staff only need to hook both ends of the core tension spring 5 onto the upper hook 3 and the lower hook 4 respectively to complete the replacement. No complicated disassembly and installation steps are required, saving time, reducing operational difficulty, and minimizing the risk of equipment damage due to improper operation.

[0052] Secure Thigh Fixation: The thigh support section 6 of the trainer is rationally designed, and the thigh support plate 7 has a large contact area with the thigh, providing stable support. The restraint strap 8 is fixed to the top of the thigh support plate 7, firmly binding the thigh and preventing slippage or displacement during training. This stable fixation method ensures the accuracy and safety of training movements, allowing patients to focus on pelvic floor muscle exercises without worrying about thigh stability, improving training effectiveness and reducing the risk of injury.

[0053] The contact areas are soft and comfortable: The parts of the trainer that contact the thigh, such as the thigh support plate 7 and the restraint strap 8, are made of soft, elastic material with a smooth and delicate surface, conforming well to the curves of the human body and reducing pressure and friction on the skin. An internal block 9 and a hinge seat 10 are located on the back of the thigh support plate 7. The structural design of these components also takes ergonomics into account, allowing the thigh to rotate and move naturally during training, avoiding discomfort caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time. The overall comfort design allows patients to feel relaxed and comfortable when using the trainer, improving the enjoyment of training and the patient's motivation for rehabilitation.

[0054] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
