Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] For patients who are bedridden for a long time, have lower limb paralysis, or have undergone fracture surgery, lack of exercise leads to insufficient blood flow to the lower limbs, resulting in muscle atrophy and seriously affecting their health. Clinically, medical staff will ask patients to perform active ankle flexion and extension exercises. However, due to poor patient compliance, the training is not in place and cannot achieve the desired training effect. Therefore, a training device that can motivate patients to perform ankle joint exercises is needed.

[0003] According to the utility model patent of ankle pump exercise trainer CN219001035U, it includes a horizontally placed base unit and a foot pedal unit for placing the feet. The base unit is provided with two sliding components, and the foot pedal unit is provided on the two sliding components. One of the sliding components is connected to a drive unit that drives the foot pedal unit to move. The advantage is that it helps patients to train passively. During training, the patient's feet are always in contact with the pedal. The movement of the sliding components adapts well to the space required for the heel to move back and forth.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned technical solution can complete the training of ankle pump movement for patients, it can only perform simple dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankle joint and cannot complete the ankle pump movement, such as "circular movement". Therefore, the training effect of this technical solution on the ankle joint is limited and its applicability is not high. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ankle pump exercise training device that can realize the complete movement process of dorsiflexion, plantar flexion and circumduction of the ankle pump movement for patients, thereby improving the training effect and increasing its applicability.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] An ankle pump exercise training device includes a base plate, linear motors mounted on the left and right sides of the upper rear of the base plate, each linear motor including a magnetic track and a mover sliding along the length of the magnetic track. Ball joint assemblies are provided on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base plate in front of the corresponding linear motors. Each ball joint assembly has a pedal at its upper end. Multiple slots are formed on one side of the front end of the outer wall of each pedal. A first strap corresponding to and cooperating with the first slot is provided on the other side of the front end of the outer wall of each pedal. An electric push rod is rotatably connected between the upper end of each mover and the rear end of the corresponding pedal. Pads are provided on the left and right sides of the front end of the base plate at the same height as the corresponding ball joint assemblies. A groove is formed downwards on the upper front edge of each pad. A fixing groove is formed downwards on the bottom of the inner wall of each groove. Each fixing groove is detachably connected to a leg support assembly that engages with it. A control panel is located in the middle of the front end of the upper surface of the base plate. The linear motors and the electric push rods are electrically connected to the control panel.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the device, first place it in the corresponding position and fix it with the base plate. Then, power on the device. Next, the patient places their foot on the pedal and passes the first strap through the corresponding first slot to fix the patient's foot on the pedal. At this time, the patient's heel is located at the top of the pad. Then, ankle pump exercise training can begin. When performing ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, operate the control panel to activate the electric push rod. The reciprocating motion of the electric push rod, extending or shortening, drives the pedal on the ball joint assembly to rotate back and forth, thereby completing the ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion training. To perform circumferential exercise, the linear motor is activated, and its mover slides back and forth on the magnetic track. As the mover slides, it causes the pedal to swing left and right on the ball joint via an electric actuator. Simultaneously, as the mover slides on the magnetic track, the electric actuator extends and retracts by a certain length. This allows the pedal to rotate back and forth as it swings towards the linear motor, thus driving the patient's foot to perform circumferential movements. This provides circumferential exercise for the patient's ankle joint. During the exercise, the movement distance of the linear motor and the extension and retraction length of the electric actuator can be controlled according to the patient's recovery progress.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that a plurality of suction cups arranged in an array are installed on the bottom of the base plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the base plate can be improved.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the ball head assembly includes a fixed seat with an upper opening and a ball head rod rotatably connected to the fixed seat and extending out of its upper opening.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the leg support assembly includes a U-shaped fixing buckle, an L-shaped support plate disposed at the rear end of the fixing buckle, a second slot opened on one side of the upper end of the support plate, and a plurality of second straps disposed on the other side of the upper end of the support plate and corresponding one-to-one with the second slot.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the patient's lower leg can be supported when performing ankle pump exercises, avoiding discomfort caused by being suspended in the air. At the same time, it can also prevent the patient's leg from bending during the exercise, which would affect the training effect.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the outer wall of the free end of each first strap and each second strap is provided with hook and loop fasteners, and the outer wall of each first strap and each second strap is provided with velvet hook and loop fasteners that cooperate with the hook and loop fasteners.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the patient's feet and legs can be quickly fixed and untied.

[0016] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] Firstly, this utility model can realize the complete movement process of dorsiflexion, plantar flexion and circumduction of ankle pump exercise for patients, which can improve the training effect and increase its applicability.

[0018] Secondly, when performing ankle pump exercises, this invention can not only train dorsiflexion and plantarflexion separately, but also be used in conjunction with circumduction exercises to improve its flexibility of use.

[0019] Thirdly, the leg support component of this utility model can provide support for the lower leg when the patient is performing ankle pump exercises, avoiding discomfort caused by the leg being suspended in the air. At the same time, it can also prevent the patient's leg from bending during the exercise process, which would affect the training effect. Attached Figure Description
