Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation training for stroke patients, specifically a simple dual-task training tool for both motor and cognitive functions. Background Technology

[0002] Cognitive-motor dual-task training refers to the simultaneous or alternating execution of two or more cognitive and motor training tasks. Cognition often involves attention and memory, such as numerical calculation and verbal naming. Common motor tasks include balance and gait training, resistance training, and aerobic exercise. There are basically four different combinations of dual tasks, including the primary task (such as walking or balance tasks) and the secondary attentional tasks (such as cognitive or motor tasks) performed at the same time: walking + motor, walking + cognitive, balance + motor, and balance + cognitive.

[0003] Traditional rehabilitation training helps improve motor function in stroke patients, but it often only focuses on partial functional recovery and cannot meet their needs for community activities after discharge. In daily life activities, patients usually need to perform two or more tasks at the same time. Therefore, more and more research is shifting its focus to the treatment of stroke patients through dual-task training. Chinese utility model patent application number 201921847634.5 discloses a dual-task rehabilitation training combination box for stroke patients, comprising: a box body with an internal accommodating groove; a drawer slidably connected to the accommodating groove of the box body; a training board, one side of which is rotatably connected to one end face of the box body via a first rotating member and can be flipped around the first rotating member to form an angle with the end face of the box body or to be attached to the box body, the end face of the training board for attaching to the box body is provided with a locking mechanism that cooperates with the box body, and the other end face of the training board is provided with boundary lines that divide the surface of the training board into several quadrants, and the areas of the training board divided by the boundary lines have different colors; the training board is also provided with several mounting holes arranged in an array; a box cover for covering and storing the training board on the box body; and several training sub-components, each having a connecting rod for detachably engaging with the mounting holes of the training board.

[0004] The aforementioned dual-task rehabilitation training kit for stroke patients can improve their cognitive and hand motor function. However, it cannot be combined with cognitive-motor dual-task training for the patient's lower limbs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a simple dual-task training tool for both movement and cognition. This tool can be combined with the patient's lower limbs to achieve various combinations of movement and cognitive training, effectively solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a simple training tool for both physical and cognitive tasks, comprising a tool body, the tool body being generally flat and cylindrical, with a circular standing area formed by a downward indentation at the center of the tool body, and fan-shaped training areas arranged circumferentially around the standing area, namely a number recognition area, a color recognition area, a graphic recognition area, and a calculation recognition area.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the number recognition area is evenly distributed with 8 raised first circles, with radii ranging from 2.5cm, 3cm, 4cm and 5cm in ascending order, two of each size, and raised number marks inside the circles.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the color discrimination area is evenly distributed with 8 raised second circles, each with a radius of 5cm, and the second circles are coated with different colors.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the graphic recognition area is evenly distributed with 7 graphic protrusions of different shapes and sizes.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the calculation and discrimination area is evenly distributed with 8 different digit protrusions, and each digit protrusion is the same size.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a blind hole is embedded in the center of the standing area, and a vertical rod is inserted and fixed in the blind hole.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the tool body is rotatably provided with a cover plate, the cover plate is circular and covers the tool body, the center of the cover plate is provided with a circular hole smaller than the standing area, and the lower end of the circular hole is fixedly provided with an annular boss that slides with the side of the standing area.

[0013] The cover plate has a fan-shaped notch that matches a training area.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the bottom surface of the tool body has a downwardly convex arc-shaped structure.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the radius of the tool body is 85cm.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a simple training tool for both motor and cognitive tasks, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model features a fan-shaped training area with adjacent recesses around the standing area, comprising a number recognition area, a color recognition area, a shape recognition area, and a calculation recognition area. During use, the patient stands in the standing area. For the number recognition area: the patient faces the number recognition area and, upon the therapist's instruction, steps with one leg to the designated number circle. This involves basic number recognition training, which can be further enhanced by adding the aforementioned cognitive training during the stepping motion. For the color recognition area: the patient faces the color recognition area and, upon the therapist's instruction, steps with one leg to the designated color circle. This involves color recognition training, which can be further enhanced by adding the aforementioned cognitive training during the stepping motion. For the shape recognition area: the patient faces the shape recognition area and, upon the therapist's instruction, steps with one leg to the designated shape. This involves shape recognition training, which can be further enhanced by adding the aforementioned cognitive training during the stepping motion. For the calculation recognition area: the patient faces the calculation recognition area, the therapist states a calculation problem, and the patient steps with their leg to the corresponding number. This involves calculation cognitive training.

[0018] 2. This utility model features a blind hole embedded in the center of the standing area, into which a vertical rod is inserted and fixed. When in use, the vertical rod provides convenient support for the patient while standing, thus enhancing the safety of the training.

[0019] 3. This utility model features a cover plate rotatably mounted on the tool body. The cover plate is circular, covering the tool body. A circular hole smaller than the standing area is located at the center of the cover plate. An annular protrusion that slides and engages with the side of the standing area is fixed at the lower end of the circular hole. A fan-shaped notch matching a training area is embedded in the cover plate. In use, the notch exposes one currently used training area, while other training areas are covered by the cover plate to avoid interference. Furthermore, the cover plate can be rotated to switch between different training areas. The annular protrusion not only facilitates the rotation of the cover plate but also provides lateral restraint.

[0020] 4. This utility model features a downward-convex arc-shaped structure on the bottom of the tool body. When in use, the arc-shaped structure causes the tool body to wobble, making the patient feel unstable when standing on it. This helps to train the patient's balance ability. The curvature of the arc-shaped structure should be designed to be relatively small to prevent the patient from falling.

[0021] 5. This utility model is a simple, practical and easy-to-operate non-invasive training tool that combines traditional balance training with lower limb training and adds cognitive function training. It not only enriches traditional training but also improves the effect, thereby increasing patients' training enthusiasm and achieving the goal of further improving the effect within the same training time.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a simple training tool for both motor and cognitive tasks includes a tool body 1, which is generally flattened cylindrical with a radius of 85 cm. A circular standing area 11 is formed by a downward indentation at the center of the tool body 1. Around the standing area 11, fan-shaped training areas are arranged in adjacent indentations on the tool body 1, namely a number recognition area 12, a color recognition area 13, a shape recognition area 14, and a calculation recognition area 15.

[0031] The number identification area 12 has eight raised first circles 2 evenly distributed within it, with radii ranging from 2.5cm, 3cm, 4cm, to 5cm, with two of each size, and each circle has a raised number mark 21 inside.

[0032] The color identification area 13 has 8 raised second circles 3, each with a radius of 5cm, and each second circle 3 has a coating of a different color.

[0033] The graphic recognition area 14 has 7 graphic protrusions of different shapes and sizes evenly distributed.

[0034] The discrimination area 15 is calculated to have 8 different digit protrusions 5 evenly distributed, and each digit protrusion 5 is the same size.

[0035] During use, the patient can stand in the standing area 11. The use of the number recognition area 12: During training, the patient faces the number recognition area 12 and, upon the therapist's instruction, steps with one leg to the first circle 2 of the designated number mark 21. This process involves basic number recognition training. Additional cognitive training can be added during the stepping process to increase the difficulty. The use of the color recognition area 13: During training, the patient faces the color recognition area 13 and, upon the therapist's instruction, steps with one leg to the second circle 3 of the designated color. This process involves color recognition training. Additional cognitive training can be added during the stepping process to increase the difficulty. The use of the graphic recognition area 14: During training, the patient faces the graphic recognition area 14 and, upon the therapist's instruction, steps with one leg to the designated graphic protrusion 4. This process involves graphic recognition training. Additional cognitive training can be added during the stepping process to increase the difficulty. The use of the calculation recognition area 15: During training, the patient faces the calculation recognition area 15, the therapist states a calculation problem, and the patient steps with their leg to the corresponding number protrusion 5. This process involves calculation cognitive training. Example 2

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a blind hole (not visible) is embedded in the center of the standing area 11, and a vertical rod 6 is inserted and fixed in the blind hole.

[0037] When in use, the vertical bar 6 provides convenient handholds for patients while standing, which is beneficial to the safety of training. Example 3

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a cover plate 7 is rotatably provided on the tool body 1. The cover plate 7 is circular and covers the tool body 1. A circular hole 71 smaller than the standing area is provided at the center of the cover plate 7. An annular boss 73 that slides with the side of the standing area 11 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the lower end of the circular hole 71.

[0039] The cover plate 7 has a fan-shaped notch 72 that matches a training area.

[0040] When in use, the notch 72 can expose one currently used training area, while the other training areas are covered by the cover plate 7 to avoid interference; and the cover plate 7 can rotate to switch between different training areas. The annular boss 73 not only facilitates the rotation of the cover plate 7, but also plays a lateral limiting role for the cover plate 7 to prevent lateral movement. Example 4

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom surface of the tool body 1 has a downward-convex arc-shaped structure 8.

[0042] When in use, the curved structure 8 causes the tool body 1 to sway, and the patient will feel unsteady when standing on it, which helps to train the patient's balance. The curvature of the curved structure 8 should be designed to be relatively small to prevent the patient from falling.

[0043] This invention is a simple, practical, and easy-to-operate non-invasive training tool that combines traditional balance training with lower limb training to increase cognitive function training. It not only enriches traditional training but also improves its effectiveness, thereby increasing patients' training enthusiasm and achieving further improvement in the same training time.

[0044] This invention can start with the simplest cognition and gradually train higher cognitive functions. It can select appropriate functional areas for training based on the level of cognition of stroke patients in clinical practice. Combined with the daily balance and gait training task-oriented program of the therapist, it can accurately coordinate lower limb control training to further improve the balance and gait function of stroke patients, improve their daily living ability, and improve their quality of life.
