Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ankle pump exercise technology, and in particular to an ankle pump exercise device that can prevent foot drop. Background Technology

[0002] Foot drop is caused by paralysis of the anterior and lateral calf muscles, and spasm and traction of the posterior calf muscles. It manifests as toe flexion, inability to dorsiflex, or weakened dorsiflexion function. Ankle pump exercises are ankle joint flexion and extension movements, similar to the working principle of a pump. By continuously moving the joint, they promote blood circulation in the lower limbs and strengthen muscle capacity. Therefore, early intervention with ankle pump exercises can improve the patient's later quality of life. Moreover, ankle pump exercises are simple to perform and do not affect the patient's vital signs. They can be used as an active exercise method for nursing staff to guide long-term bedridden patients or patients immobilized for various reasons to prevent foot drop. In addition to preventing foot drop, they can also effectively prevent the incidence of lower limb venous thrombosis in long-term bedridden patients.

[0003] Most existing ankle pump exercise devices that can prevent foot drop only have a single extension and retraction function, allowing the patient's foot to flex and extend forward and backward. However, during ankle pump exercise, the ankle joint also needs to rotate to a certain extent while the foot flexes and extends, so that the ankle pump exercise can be fully performed.

[0004] Therefore, addressing the issue that most existing ankle pump exercise devices for preventing foot drop only possess a single extension and retraction function, limiting foot flexion and extension to ankle joint rotation and resulting in insufficient ankle pump exercise, a new ankle pump exercise device for preventing foot drop can be designed. This device would consist of a motor, gears, a rotating plate, a foot pedal, a rotating base, and an electric actuator. Activating the electric actuator, in conjunction with the rotating base, would drive the foot pedal to rotate left and right, enabling the foot to flex and extend. Activating the motor would also drive the foot pedal to rotate back and forth, allowing for slight rotation of the ankle joint. The two components work together to fully complete the ankle pump exercise. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problem that most existing ankle pump exercise devices for preventing foot drop only have a single extension and retraction function, which means that the foot can only flex and extend forward and backward, and the ankle joint cannot rotate, resulting in insufficient ankle pump exercise.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of an ankle pump exercise device to prevent foot drop, including a base plate 1; a support seat 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, an adjustment plate 3 is installed on the top right side of the base plate 1, a mounting box 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the adjustment plate 3, a motor 5 is fixedly installed on the top rear side of the mounting box 4, a rotating rod 6 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 5, a gear 7 and a gear 8 are installed at the bottom inside the mounting box 4, the gear 7 and gear 8 are meshed and connected, the gear 7 is located on the rear side of the gear 8, the other end of the rotating rod 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the gear 7, a connecting rod 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the gear 8, the other end of the connecting rod 9 passes through the mounting box 4 and a rotating plate 10 is fixedly installed, a foot pedal 11 is installed at the upper end of the rotating plate 10, and the foot pedal 1... The bottom of the plate 10 has a clearance groove 12, and a rotating seat 13 is rotatably connected inside the clearance groove 12. The rotating seat 13 is fixedly set on the top left side of the rotating plate 10. An electric push rod 14 is hinged to the top right side of the rotating plate 10. The other end of the electric push rod 14 is hinged to the upper right side of the foot pedal 11. When the motor 5 is started, the output end of the motor 5 can drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate. The rotating rod 6 can then drive the gear 7 to rotate. The gear 7 drives the gear 8 to rotate through meshing. The gear 8 can then drive the foot pedal 11 on the rotating plate 10 to rotate through the connecting rod 9. When the electric push rod 14 is started, the output end of the electric push rod 14 can drive the upper end of the foot pedal 11 to rotate on the rotating seat 13. The foot pedal 11 can then drive the patient's ankle joint to flex, extend and rotate, thereby completing the ankle pump exercise.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, a limiting hole 17 is provided on the top front side of the gear 2 8. A fixing rod 18 is provided inside the limiting hole 17. The lower end of the fixing rod 18 is fixedly provided inside the bottom of the mounting box 4, and the other end of the fixing rod 18 is fixedly provided inside the top of the mounting box 4. The limiting hole 17 facilitates the setting of the fixing rod 18. The fixing rod 18 can thus limit the rotation range of the foot pedal 11 driven by the gear 2 8, thereby avoiding damage to the patient's ankle joint caused by excessive rotation of the foot pedal 11.

[0024] Please see Figure 4In this embodiment, a mounting groove 19 is provided on the top right side of the base plate 1. A second motor 20 is fixedly installed on the right side of the base plate 1. A threaded rod 21 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 20. The other end of the threaded rod 21 passes through the base plate 1 and is installed on the left side inside the mounting groove 19 by a bearing. Two moving blocks 22 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 21. The top of the moving blocks 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the adjusting plate 3. When the second motor 20 is started, the output end of the second motor 20 can drive the threaded rod 21 to rotate. The moving blocks 22 are driven by the thread of the threaded rod 21, thereby driving the adjusting plate 3 to move left and right. The adjusting plate 3 can then drive the foot pedal 11 to move left and right. The personnel can adjust the position of the foot pedal 11 according to the length of the patient's leg.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, a support pad 15 is fixedly installed on the lower left side of the foot pedal 11. The support pad 15 is located on the upper end of the rotating seat 13. Two straps 16 are fixedly installed between the front and rear sides of the foot pedal 11. The straps 16 are located on the upper end of the support pad 15. A support pad 23 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support seat 2. A strap 24 is fixedly installed between the front and rear sides of the top of the support seat 2. The support pad 15 can support the patient's heel. The straps 16 can fix the patient's instep. The support pad 23 can improve the patient's leg comfort. The strap 24 can fix the patient's leg.

[0026] During operation, the operator first starts motor 20. The output of motor 20 drives the threaded rod 21 to rotate. The moving block 22, acted upon by the thread of the threaded rod 21, moves the adjusting plate 3 left and right. The adjusting plate 3 then moves the foot pedal 11 left and right. After adjusting the foot pedal 11 to match the patient's foot, the patient's foot is first passed through strap 24, and the heel is placed on the support pad 15. The instep is secured by strap 16, and the leg is secured by strap 24. Then, the electric actuator 14 is activated, which drives the foot pedal 11 on the rotating seat 13. The foot pedal 11 rotates, causing the patient's foot to flex and extend. The motor 5 rotates back and forth, and the motor 5 drives the gear 7 to rotate via the rotating rod 6. The gear 7 drives the gear 8 to rotate via the meshing, and the gear 8 drives the foot pedal 11 on the rotating plate 10 to rotate via the connecting rod 9. The foot pedal 11 then causes the patient's ankle to rotate slightly. The two work together to complete the ankle pump movement of the patient's foot. The fixing rod 18 limits the rotation range of the gear 8, thus preventing the foot pedal 11 from rotating too much and causing damage to the patient's ankle joint.

[0027] Through the above steps, by setting up motor 5, gear 7, gear 8, rotating plate 10, foot pedal 11, rotating seat 13, and electric push rod 14, starting the electric push rod 14, the electric push rod 14 can work with the rotating seat 13 to drive the foot pedal 11 to rotate back and forth, thereby enabling the foot pedal 11 to flex and extend the patient's foot. Starting motor 5, motor 5 can drive the foot pedal 11 to rotate back and forth, thereby enabling the foot pedal 11 to rotate the patient's ankle joint slightly. The two work together to fully complete the ankle pump exercise, thus solving the problem that most existing ankle pump exercise devices that can prevent foot drop only have a single extension and retraction function, which means that the foot can only flex and extend back and forth, and the ankle joint cannot rotate, resulting in insufficient ankle pump exercise.
