Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knee joint postoperative rehabilitation training technology, and in particular to a knee joint postoperative rehabilitation training device. Background Technology
[0002] Knee surgery is a common treatment for knee joint diseases, applicable to knee problems caused by various factors such as wear and tear, injury, or inflammation. Its main purpose is to restore joint function, relieve pain, and improve the patient's quality of life. With the continuous advancement of medical technology, post-operative rehabilitation training for knee surgery has become increasingly important.
[0003] Traditional knee joint rehabilitation training methods mostly rely on manual assistance, which often results in unstable training effects. While some automated rehabilitation training devices on the market have emerged, they are often complex in structure and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's specific situation, leading to low patient comfort. Therefore, we propose a postoperative knee joint rehabilitation training device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the unstable effects of relying on artificial knee joint training and the complex structure and inability to flexibly adjust traditional rehabilitation training devices according to the specific conditions of patients, and to propose a postoperative knee joint rehabilitation training device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A postoperative rehabilitation training device for knee joint includes a base with two symmetrically arranged support seats on its top. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to one side of the two support seats that are close to each other. Two support plates are fixedly connected through the outer wall of the rotating shaft between the two support seats. Two connecting rods are fixedly connected to one side of the two support plates that are close to each other, and these connecting rods are located above one side of the two support plates. A thigh support plate is rotatably connected to one connecting rod, and a calf support plate is rotatably connected to the other connecting rod. Two connecting plates are fixedly connected to one side of the two support plates that are close to each other, and these two connecting plates are respectively located below the thigh support plate and the calf support plate. The device also includes:
[0007] The drive assembly is located at the bottom of the calf support plate and is used to drive the calf support plate to swing back and forth, thereby achieving knee flexion.
[0008] The first adjustment component is located at the bottom of the thigh support plate and is used to adjust the angle of the thigh support plate.
[0009] The second adjustment component, located at the top of the base, is used to simultaneously adjust the overall angle between the thigh support and the calf support and the base.
[0010] In one possible design, the drive assembly includes an electric cylinder rotatably connected to a connecting plate located below the calf support plate. A first rotating seat is fixedly provided at the bottom of the calf support plate, and the output end of the electric cylinder is rotatably connected to the first rotating seat.
[0011] In one possible design, the first adjustment assembly includes a second rotating seat, which is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the thigh support plate. A rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the second rotating seat. One end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to a connecting pipe. The inner wall of the connecting pipe is provided with internal threads. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe through the internal threads. One end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to a connecting plate located below the thigh support plate.
[0012] In one possible design, the second adjusting component includes a worm gear fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A groove is formed on the top of the base below the worm gear. The same worm is rotatably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the groove. The worm meshes with the worm gear, and one end of the worm rotatably passes through the base and extends to the outer side of the base.
[0013] In one possible design, a foot support is slidably connected to the side of the calf support away from the connecting rod. Two limiting bolts are symmetrically threaded on both sides of the calf support, with one end of each limiting bolt abutting against the foot support. The foot support is provided with a strap for fixing the ankle. The strap includes a first fixing strap, which is fixedly installed on one side of the foot support. One end of the first fixing strap is fixedly provided with a limiting ring. A second fixing strap is fixedly installed on the other side of the foot support. The outer wall of the second fixing strap is respectively provided with a female hook and loop fastener and a male hook and loop fastener. The second fixing strap passes through the limiting ring and is folded in half, with the female hook and loop fastener and the male hook and loop fastener glued together.
[0014] In one possible design, both the thigh support and the calf support are topped with U-shaped sponge pads.
[0015] In one possible design, a rubber-woven protective net is fixedly connected to the side of the thigh support and calf support that are close to each other.
[0016] In this application, firstly, the patient places the leg to be trained on the device, with the thigh on the thigh support and the lower leg on the lower leg support. The second fixing strap in the strap of the foot support passes through the limiting ring of the first fixing strap, and the female and male sides of the Velcro on the first fixing strap are glued together to fix the patient's ankle on the foot support, so that the patient's lower leg can bend with the device. Then, the electric cylinder is activated. The electric cylinder is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lower leg support through the first rotating seat. Its output end pushes the first rotating seat and the lower leg support to swing back and forth around the axis of the connecting rod, thereby realizing the bending training of the knee joint.
[0017] To adjust the angle of the thigh support, the position of the threaded rod inside the connecting tube can be changed by rotating the connecting tube, thereby driving the rotating rod and the second rotating seat to rotate, ultimately achieving the adjustment of the thigh support angle. When adjusting the overall angle between the thigh support and the lower leg support and the base, the worm gear is rotated to drive the worm wheel and the rotating shaft to rotate. Since the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the two support seats, it can drive the overall angle adjustment of the entire thigh support and the lower leg support and the base.
[0018] The footrest can slide on the calf support plate to accommodate patients with different calf lengths and is fixed by limiting bolts. The U-shaped sponge pad provides comfortable support, while the rubber woven protective net plays a safety role in preventing patients from accidentally colliding with the device during training.
[0019] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the knee joint postoperative rehabilitation training device drives the lower leg support plate to swing back and forth through an electric cylinder to achieve knee joint flexion training. Not only is the training effect stable, but the training intensity can also be adjusted according to the patient's specific condition.
[0020] In this utility model, the postoperative rehabilitation training device for knee joint can easily adjust the angle of the thigh support plate through the cooperation of the threaded rod and the connecting tube, thereby meeting the training needs of different patients.
[0021] In this utility model, the postoperative rehabilitation training device for knee joint can simultaneously adjust the overall angle between the thigh support plate and the calf support plate and the base through a worm gear transmission mechanism, so that the device can adapt to patients of different heights and sitting postures.
[0022] In this invention, the lower leg support plate is driven to swing back and forth by an electric cylinder to achieve knee flexion training. Not only is the training effect stable, but the training intensity can also be adjusted according to the patient's specific situation. The cooperation of the threaded rod and the connecting tube can easily adjust the angle of the thigh support plate, thereby meeting the training needs of different patients. The worm gear transmission mechanism can simultaneously adjust the overall angle between the thigh support plate and the lower leg support plate and the base, so that the device can adapt to patients of different heights and sitting postures.
