Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of children's gait training technology, and in particular to a children's gait training tool. Background Technology

[0002] Abnormal gait in children is often related to the stage-specific characteristics of skeletal development, such as tibial internal rotation (1-3 years old), increased femoral anteversion angle (after 3 years old), and metatarsal adduction (within 1 year old), which leads to a higher probability of in-toeing gait. Lower limb force line deviation (such as insufficient external rotation of the hip joint) and muscle strength imbalance (such as tension in the medial calf muscles) are the direct causes of abnormal gait such as out-toeing and scissor gait.

[0003] Traditional gait training tools for children have some drawbacks. Detailed research on children's walking gait has revealed that knee flexion plays an important role in walking, and knee joint status is a significant factor leading to in-toeing gait. Existing training tools only restrict the range of knee flexion by binding the knees, which actually affects the correction effect on children's in-toeing gait. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a gait training tool for children, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A gait training tool for children includes a trainer with a foot pedal installed inside. A gait correction mechanism is located at the upper end of the foot pedal. The gait correction mechanism includes a calf strap placed on the upper end of the foot pedal. A thigh strap is movably connected to the outer side of the calf strap via a pivot. A support frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the thigh strap. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the front end of the support frame. A spring plate is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting frame. A limiting rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of the spring plate. The limiting rod passes through the interior of the support frame and is slidably connected to the support frame. A main contact head is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod. A limit frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame. A limit rod is slidably connected to the inner side of the limit frame. A secondary contact head is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limit rod.

[0007] Preferably, the outer side of the thigh leg wrap is fitted with an upper strap near the upper side of the support frame, and the outer side of the calf leg wrap is fitted with a middle strap near the lower side of the thigh leg wrap.

[0008] Preferably, the lower strap is attached to the outer side of the calf strap near the lower side of the middle strap, and the thigh strap is located above the calf strap.

[0009] Preferably, the main contact head and the auxiliary contact head are both made of rubber, and the lower end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring sheet.

[0010] Preferably, there are two sets of the limiting frame, the limiting rod, and the secondary contact head, two sets of the upper straps, and the diameter of the middle strap is larger than the diameter of the lower strap.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the trainer is fixedly connected to a support armrest, and the upper end of the trainer is fixedly connected to a shelf, and there are two sets of support armrests.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By pushing the secondary contact head with the knee after a child develops an in-toeing gait, the limiting rod changes the shape of the spring plate, thereby altering the elastic force of the spring plate on the limiting rod and causing the spring plate to push the limiting rod to move. This allows the main contact head to increase the pressure on the child's legs, enabling the child to consciously adjust their gait and avoid developing an in-toeing gait, thus improving the corrective effect on the child's in-toeing gait.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a child gait training tool includes a trainer 1. A foot pedal 2 is installed inside the trainer 1. A gait correction mechanism 5 is provided at the upper end of the foot pedal 2. The gait correction mechanism 5 includes a calf binding 51 placed on the upper end of the foot pedal 2. A thigh binding 52 is movably connected to the outer side of the calf binding 51 via a pivot. A support frame 53 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the thigh binding 52. A mounting frame 54 is fixedly connected to the front end of the support frame 53. A spring plate 55 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting frame 54. A limiting rod 56 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the spring plate 55. The limiting rod 56 passes through the interior of the support frame 53 and is slidably connected to the support frame 53. A main contact head 57 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod 56. A limit frame 58 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 53. A limit rod 59 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limit frame 58. A secondary contact head 510 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limit rod 59.

[0021] In this embodiment, an upper strap 511 is attached to the outer side of the thigh strap 52 near the upper side of the support frame 53, a middle strap 512 is attached to the outer side of the calf strap 51 near the lower side of the thigh strap 52, and a lower strap 513 is attached to the outer side of the calf strap 51 near the lower side of the middle strap 512. The thigh strap 52 is located above the calf strap 51. The main contact head 57 and the auxiliary contact head 510 are both made of rubber. The lower end of the limiting rod 59 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring plate 55. There are two sets of limiting frame 58, limiting rod 59, and auxiliary contact head 510. There are two sets of upper straps 511. The diameter of the middle strap 512 is larger than the diameter of the lower strap 513.

[0022] Specifically, first, the thigh binding 52 is placed on the child's thigh, and the upper binding strap 511 is attached to the thigh and then glued to the thigh binding 52. Next, the calf binding 51 is placed on the calf, and the middle binding strap 512 and lower binding strap 513 are attached to the calf and then glued to the calf binding 51. This allows the main contact head 57 to contact the child's knee, and the secondary contact head 510 to contact the upper side of the child's knee. This causes the child's knee to bend, and the main contact head 57 and secondary contact head 510 maintain a relatively stable state under the elastic action of the spring plate 55, preventing excessive pressure on the child's legs. If the child exhibits an inward-pointing gait, the knee flexion is adjusted, causing the knee to push the secondary contact head 510, which in turn causes the secondary contact head 510 to slide the limiting rod 59 within the limiting frame 58. The movement of the limiting rod 59 alters the shape of the spring plate 55, thereby changing the elastic force of the spring plate 55 on the limiting rod 56. This increases the elastic force of the spring plate 55 on the limiting rod 56, causing the spring plate 55 to push the limiting rod 56 to move. This increases the pressure of the main contact head 57 on the child's legs, prompting the child to consciously adjust their gait and avoid an in-toeing gait. Furthermore, by pushing the secondary contact head 510 with the knee after the child develops an in-toeing gait, the limiting rod 59 changes the shape of the spring plate 55, altering the elastic force of the spring plate 55 on the limiting rod 56 and causing the spring plate 55 to push the limiting rod 56 to move. This facilitates increasing the pressure of the main contact head 57 on the child's legs, prompting the child to consciously adjust their gait and avoid an in-toeing gait, thus improving the corrective effect on the child's in-toeing gait.

[0023] In this embodiment, a support armrest 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the trainer 1, and a shelf 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the trainer 1. There are two sets of support armrests 3.

[0024] Specifically, the child holds onto the support handrail 3, stands on the foot pedal 2, and then steps on the foot pedal 2 to simulate walking gait.

[0025] Working principle:

[0026] In use, first, the thigh strap 52 is placed on the child's thigh, and the upper strap 511 is attached to the thigh and then glued to the thigh strap 52. Next, the calf strap 51 is placed on the calf, and the middle strap 512 and lower strap 513 are attached to the calf and then glued to the calf strap 51. The main contact head 57 contacts the child's knee, and the secondary contact head 510 contacts the upper side of the child's knee. The child holds onto the support handle 3 and stands on the foot pedal 2. By pressing the foot pedal 2, the child simulates a walking gait and bends their knee. Under the elasticity of the spring plate 55, the main contact head 57 and secondary contact head 510 maintain a relatively stable state, preventing excessive pressure on the child's legs. If the child adopts an inward-pointing gait, the knee flexion is adjusted, causing the knee to push the secondary contact head 510, thereby... The secondary contact head 510 drives the limiting rod 59 to slide within the limiting frame 58, and causes the limiting rod 59 to change the shape of the spring plate 55. This alters the elastic force of the spring plate 55 on the limiting rod 56, increasing the elastic force of the spring plate 55 on the limiting rod 56. The spring plate 55 then pushes the limiting rod 56, increasing the pressure of the main contact head 57 on the child's legs. This encourages the child to consciously adjust their gait, preventing an in-toeing gait. By pushing the secondary contact head 510 with the knee after the child develops an in-toeing gait, the limiting rod 59 changes the shape of the spring plate 55, altering the elastic force of the spring plate 55 on the limiting rod 56 and causing the spring plate 55 to push the limiting rod 56. This facilitates the main contact head 57 increasing the pressure on the child's legs, encouraging the child to consciously adjust their gait and preventing an in-toeing gait, thus improving the corrective effect on the child's in-toeing gait.
