Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation technology, and in particular to a rehabilitation stepper. Background Technology
[0002] In the rehabilitation treatment of children with cerebral palsy, to promote peripheral nerve recovery and reduce limb movement disorders caused by brain injury, patients are advised to strengthen lower limb exercises, especially periodic movement training of both legs, depending on the area and degree of brain injury. This can achieve better rehabilitation results. Steppers are frequently used in children's rehabilitation training, allowing patients to repeatedly perform stepping movements to achieve leg muscle rehabilitation. Figure 1 As shown, the existing stepper mainly includes a support frame 1 and a stepping mechanism 2. The stepping mechanism 2 is fixed on the support frame 1. When using it, children with cerebral palsy hold onto the support frame 1 and step onto the stepping mechanism 2. Because children with cerebral palsy have poor balance, and the existing stepper does not have a mechanism to help them maintain balance, parents need to support the children to assist them in rehabilitation training. Rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy requires a fixed amount of training time to be effective. During this process, parents are easily fatigued, and in severe cases, it can even cause the children with cerebral palsy to fall. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing rehabilitation steppers that lack mechanisms to assist children with cerebral palsy in maintaining balance, and to propose a new type of rehabilitation stepper.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A rehabilitation stepper is designed, including a support frame, a stepping mechanism fixed on the support frame, fixed plates symmetrically fixed on the support frame on both sides of the stepping mechanism, a support plate commonly fixed on the two fixed plates, a strap between the support plate and the stepping mechanism, two first connecting ropes symmetrically fixed on the strap, both first connecting ropes slidingly passing through the support plate, and a positioning mechanism between each first connecting rope and the support plate.
[0006] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a connecting plate, which is fixed to the first connecting rope. Two insert posts are symmetrically fixed on the connecting plate, and a plurality of insert holes are provided at equal intervals and through the support plate. Two insert posts are inserted through two of the insert holes.
[0007] Preferably, an anti-wear mechanism is fixed between each of the first connecting ropes and the support plate.
[0008] Preferably, the wear-resistant mechanism includes two fixed frames, both of which are fixed to the support plate, and each of the two fixed frames is rotatably provided with a guide wheel, and the first connecting rope is in contact with the two guide wheels.
[0009] Preferably, the strap includes a chest strap, on which a plurality of second connecting ropes are symmetrically fixed, and two shoulder straps are symmetrically fixed on the chest strap, with the two shoulder straps respectively disposed on the two first connecting ropes.
[0010] Preferably, each of the shoulder straps is fixed with a hook, and the first connecting rope is attached to the hook.
[0011] Preferably, the strap includes a sponge, and a first isolation cloth and a second isolation cloth are fixed to both sides of the sponge, with the first isolation cloth fixed on the second isolation cloth.
[0012] Preferably, an inner lining is fixed to the side of the second isolation cloth facing away from the sponge.
[0013] Preferably, the inner lining is made of cotton fabric, and both the first and second isolation fabrics are made of waterproof fabric.
[0014] The rehabilitation stepper proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: when in use, the rehabilitation stepper can help maintain the balance of children, so that children with cerebral palsy do not need to be supported by their parents during training. This reduces the labor intensity of parents and also prevents children with cerebral palsy from falling, ensuring the safety of children with cerebral palsy during training.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-3 A rehabilitation stepper includes a support frame 1, a stepping mechanism 2 fixed on the support frame 1, and fixed plates 3 symmetrically fixed on the support frame 1 on both sides of the stepping mechanism 2. A support plate 4 is fixed on both fixed plates 3. The support plate 4 has an inverted U-shaped structure, and its two ends are respectively fixed on the two fixed plates 3. The inverted U-shaped structure of the support plate 4 will not affect the training of children with cerebral palsy when they hold the support frame 1 and step on the stepping mechanism 2, thus ensuring the effectiveness of the support frame 1 and the stepping mechanism 2.
[0023] A strap 5 is provided between the support plate 4 and the stepping mechanism 2. Two first connecting ropes 6 are symmetrically fixed on the strap 5. Both first connecting ropes 6 are slidably installed through the support plate 4. The strap 5 is used to tie around the chest of a child with cerebral palsy. With the assistance of the two first connecting ropes 6, the balance of the child with cerebral palsy can be maintained. A positioning mechanism is provided between each first connecting rope 6 and the support plate 4. With the assistance of the positioning mechanism, the height of the strap 5 during use is ensured.
[0024] The positioning mechanism includes a connecting plate 9, which is fixed to the first connecting rope 6. Two inserting posts 10 are symmetrically fixed on the connecting plate 9. Multiple inserting holes 11 are provided at equal intervals and through the support plate 4. The two inserting posts 10 are inserted through two of the inserting holes 11. The two inserting posts 10 and the two inserting holes 11 cooperate with each other to assist children with cerebral palsy through the first connecting rope 6 and the strap 5, and maintain the balance of children with cerebral palsy.
[0025] When using this device, for children with cerebral palsy who cannot maintain their balance well, one parent assists the child by placing both feet on the stepping mechanism 2 and holding onto the support frame 1 with both hands. Another parent then ties the strap 5 around the child's chest and pulls on the two connecting plates 9, inserting the two insert posts 10 on the connecting plates 9 into the four insert holes 11 respectively, thereby maintaining the height of the strap 5. After that, neither parent needs to assist the child, allowing the child to train without parental support. This reduces the parents' workload and prevents the child from falling, ensuring the child's safety during training.
[0026] Example 2: In Example 1, during repeated use, the two first connecting ropes 6 will wear down at the two corners of the support plate 4 when pulled, easily damaging the two first connecting ropes 6. (Refer to...) Figure 1-3 As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the difference from embodiment 1 is that each first connecting rope 6 and support plate 4 is fixed with an anti-wear mechanism, which is used to support the first connecting rope 6 and avoid wear at the two corners of the first connecting rope 6 and support plate 4.
[0027] The wear-resistant mechanism includes two fixed frames 7, both of which are fixed on the support plate 4. Each of the two fixed frames 7 is equipped with a guide wheel 8. The first connecting rope 6 is in contact with the two guide wheels 8. In use, the two guide wheels 8 are used to separate the first connecting rope 6 from the corner of the support plate 4. While assisting the movement of the first connecting rope 6, the guide wheels 8 also protect the first connecting rope 6, which helps to extend the service life of the first connecting rope 6.
[0028] Example 3: Based on Example 1, referring to... Figure 1-5 As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the difference from embodiment 1 is that the strap 5 includes a chest strap 12, on which multiple second connecting ropes 13 are symmetrically fixed. The chest strap 12 is tied to the chest using multiple second connecting ropes 13, and with the assistance of multiple second connecting ropes 13, it can be used by children with cerebral palsy of different body types. Two shoulder straps 14 are symmetrically fixed on the chest strap 12, and the two shoulder straps 14 are respectively set on two first connecting ropes 6. The setting of the two shoulder straps 14 not only provides fixing points for the two first connecting ropes 6, but also further improves the balance of the strap 5 when in use. Each shoulder strap 14 is fixed with a hook 15, and the first connecting ropes 6 are tied to the hooks 15. The two first connecting ropes 6 can be untied from the two hooks 15, making it easy to remove the strap 5 for cleaning.
[0029] The strap 5 includes a sponge 16, with a first isolation cloth 17 and a second isolation cloth 18 fixed to both sides of the sponge 16. The first isolation cloth 17 is fixed to the second isolation cloth 18. Both the first isolation cloth 17 and the second isolation cloth 18 are made of waterproof cloth. The first isolation cloth 17 and the second isolation cloth 18, made of waterproof cloth, protect the sponge 16, preventing the sponge 16 from being contaminated and reducing the difficulty of cleaning the strap 5. An inner lining cloth 19 is fixed to the side of the second isolation cloth 18 away from the sponge 16. The inner lining cloth 19 is made of cotton cloth. The cotton inner lining cloth 19 can absorb the sweat of children with cerebral palsy, improving the appropriateness of use.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
