[0002] The knee flexion training device is a rehabilitation device specifically designed to improve and restore knee flexion function. It is suitable for post-operative knee rehabilitation, patients with arthritis, or people with limited knee mobility.
[0003] A search revealed a patent with publication number CN218923697U that discloses a flexion exercise device specifically for patients after knee replacement surgery. Although this device can exercise the knee flexion function by using the weight of the lower leg, the method of exercising the lower leg independently is only suitable for patients whose knee function has recovered well. For other patients, the exercise intensity is too high.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model document proposes a device for knee flexion training. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides a device for knee flexion training, which solves the problem that existing methods of calf voluntary movement training are only suitable for patients with good knee joint function recovery, while the training intensity is too high for other patients.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A device for knee flexion training, comprising:
[0008] The seat has a supporting inclined plate and a supporting vertical rod fixedly installed at its bottom. A first anti-slip horizontal bar that contacts the ground is fixedly installed at the other end of the supporting inclined plate. A backrest is hinged to one side of the seat, and a backrest cushion is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the backrest. Two lower leg movable frames are symmetrically hinged at the bottom edge of the seat. The two lower leg movable frames are located on both sides of the supporting vertical rod. An ankle fixing strap equipped with buckles and Velcro is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the lower leg movable frames.
[0009] The first adjustment component, located on the support vertical rod, is used to adjust the inclination of the seat board;
[0010] The second adjustment component is located on the backrest and is used to adjust the tilt of the backrest.
[0011] The drive assembly, located on the seat, is used to adjust the knee flexion angle.
[0012] In one possible design, the first adjustment component includes a hollow rod disposed at the bottom of the support vertical rod, the bottom end of the support vertical rod being slidably mounted in the cavity at the top of the hollow rod, a first bolt for locking the extension length of the support vertical rod being threaded into a threaded hole on the hollow rod, and a second anti-slip crossbar being fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the hollow rod.
[0013] In one possible design, the second adjustment assembly includes a rod hinged to the outer wall of the backing plate, and the surface of the supporting inclined plate is equidistantly provided with limiting pieces for abutting the other end of the rod.
[0014] In one possible design, the drive assembly includes two mounting plates symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the seat, with an electric push rod hinged to one side of each mounting plate and the other end of the electric push rod hinged to the side wall of the corresponding lower leg movement frame.
[0015] In one possible design, armrests are fixedly installed on both sides of the seat, and the armrests are equipped with controllers for controlling the operation of corresponding electric actuators.
[0016] In one possible design, a movable plate is slidably installed in the cavity at the top of the backrest, a headrest is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the movable plate, and a second bolt for locking the extension length of the movable plate is threaded into the threaded hole on the backrest.
[0017] In one possible design, two thigh support straps are symmetrically fixed to the top of the seat. An arc-shaped silicone plate for conforming to the upper surface of the thigh is fixed to the inner wall of the thigh support strap. O-rings for cooperating with the thigh support straps are fixed to both sides of the seat. One end of the thigh support strap passes through the corresponding O-ring and is fixed by a set of Velcro on the outer wall.
[0018] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit the present invention.
[0019] The working principle and usage process of this technical solution are as follows:
[0020] Before use, the tilt of the seat and backrest can be adjusted according to the patient's needs. For the seat, this is achieved through the first adjustment component: loosen the first bolt, and the support rod can slide in the cavity at the top of the hollow rod. After adjusting the tilt of the seat, tighten the first bolt to lock the extension length of the support rod. For the backrest, this is achieved through the second adjustment component: place the insert rod on the limiting piece at a suitable position on the surface of the support plate to change the tilt angle of the backrest. If necessary, the extension length of the movable plate on the backrest can also be adjusted by loosening the second bolt, sliding the movable plate to make the headrest reach a suitable height, and then tightening the second bolt to lock it.
[0021] Next, the patient sits on the seat board with their back against the backrest cushion, places their thighs on the seat board, and uses two thigh fixation straps to pass through the corresponding O-rings and secure them with Velcro, so that the curved silicone plate fits against the upper surface of the thigh, thereby stabilizing the thigh. Then, both feet are placed into the ankle fixation straps at the bottom of the two lower leg frames, and the adjustment straps at the ends of the ankle fixation straps are passed through the buckles and the Velcro hook side is glued to the Velcro loop side to ensure the stability of the lower legs during training.
[0022] After the patient is seated on the device and ready, the drive assembly is activated via the controller on the arm rest. The electric push rod in the drive assembly begins to work. One end of the electric push rod is hinged to the mounting plate, and the other end is hinged to the side wall of the lower leg movement frame. When the electric push rod extends or retracts, it drives the lower leg movement frame to rotate around the hinge point with the bottom edge of the seat plate, thereby adjusting the flexion angle of the knee joint and realizing knee flexion training. The extension and retraction speed and amplitude of the electric push rod can be adjusted via the controller according to the patient's rehabilitation status and tolerance to change the intensity of the knee flexion training. After the training is completed, the electric push rod is stopped via the controller, the ankle and thigh fixation straps are loosened, and the patient gets up from the device and leaves.
[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] This invention is applicable to patients undergoing knee surgery rehabilitation, arthritis patients, or people with limited knee joint mobility. It uses the extension and retraction of an electric push rod to drive the rotation of the lower leg movement frame, which can assist patients in performing knee flexion training. It can provide effective exercise even for patients with poor knee joint function recovery.
[0025] This invention allows for precise adjustment of the extension and retraction speed and amplitude of the electric push rod via a controller, thereby changing the intensity of knee flexion training to meet the rehabilitation needs of different patients. It is also simple and convenient to operate, allowing patients to train independently.
[0026] The first and second adjustment components of this invention are used to adjust the tilt of the seat and backrest respectively to adapt to the sitting posture and backrest needs of different patients; the use of thigh fixation straps, curved silicone plates and ankle fixation straps ensures the stability and safety of patients during training.
