Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthopedic clinical technology, and more specifically, to a limb exercise device for clinical use in traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic treatment, limb exercise is an important auxiliary treatment method. It helps promote blood circulation, prevent muscle atrophy, accelerate fracture healing, and improve joint flexibility.

[0003] According to patent authorization announcement number CN219231359U, published on 2023-06-23, a limb exercise device for clinical use in traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics includes a first U-shaped component and a second U-shaped component. The top of the first U-shaped component has several openings, and the openings accommodate connecting rods. Both the first and second U-shaped components have snap-fit ​​holes on their surfaces. The connecting rods are used to insert into the snap-fit ​​holes on the surfaces of the first and second U-shaped components. Below the snap-fit ​​holes, there is a sliding groove, and a slider is provided in the sliding groove. One end of the slider is provided with a spring fixedly connected to it, and the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. One of the sliders is provided with an elastic rope fixedly connected to it, and the other end of the elastic rope is detachably connected to another slider. The elastic rope is provided with several elastic rings fixedly connected to it. This device can simultaneously assist patients with leg fractures in walking and assist patients with leg fractures in muscle exercises. However, the first and second U-shaped parts of this device mainly rely on the patient's hand strength to move. This way of walking is not suitable for patients who have been bedridden for a long time, because patients who have been bedridden for a long time have weak limbs, especially when both legs are equally weak, making it difficult to move the first and second U-shaped parts easily. This makes it difficult for this device to conveniently assist patients in moving and limits its effectiveness in practical applications.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a limb exercise device for clinical use in traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics that is easy to assist patients in walking. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a limb exercise device for clinical use in traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The preferred technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example: A limb exercise device for clinical use in traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the device includes a first cane 1, a second cane 2, a connecting rod 3, a first connecting block 5, a second connecting block 6, a pedal 7, a first fixing rod 11, and a second fixing rod 12. The tops of both the first cane 1 and the second cane 2 are connected to soft pads. Handrails are connected to the middle of both the first cane 1 and the second cane 2. Connecting rods 3 are rotatably connected to both the first cane 1 and the second cane 2, and the two connecting rods 3 are interlocked. First connecting blocks 5 are connected to the opposite sides of the connecting rods 3, and the first connecting blocks 5 are staggered. Second connecting blocks 6 are connected to each of the first connecting blocks 5, and the second connecting blocks 6 have symmetrically arranged slots. Pedals 7 are slidably connected to each of the second connecting blocks 6. The first cane 1 is connected to the first fixing rod 11, which has threads. The second cane 2 is connected to the second fixing rod 12. A hexagonal prism is connected to the end of the first fixing rod 11 closest to the second fixing rod 12, and the hexagonal prism is interlocked with the second fixing rod 12.

[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a threaded sleeve 13 and a rubber sleeve 14. The threaded sleeve 13 is threadedly connected to the second fixing rod 12. The thread on the threaded sleeve 13 is engaged with the thread on the second fixing rod 12. The outer wall of the threaded sleeve 13 is fitted with a rubber sleeve 14 for anti-slip.

[0021] When a patient wants to use this device for exercise, first have the patient sit in a chair, holding onto the first crutch 1 and the second crutch 2 with both hands. Then, have the patient place their feet on the pedals 7. The patient applies force with their legs to press down on one of the pedals 7. The pressed pedal 7 will rotate downwards on the corresponding crutch, and the other pedal 7 will be rotated upwards, thus moving the patient's other leg upwards. This allows the patient to exercise their legs in a manner similar to riding a bicycle. Repeat the above steps until the patient completes the leg exercise. When the patient needs to use the assisted walking device, twist the threaded sleeve 13 to disengage it from the threads on the second fixed rod 12, thereby releasing the fixation on the first fixed rod 11 and the second fixed rod 12. The rubber sleeve 14 increases the friction between the hand and the threaded sleeve 13, effectively improving the rotation efficiency of the threaded sleeve 13. Pull the first crutch 1 and the second crutch 2 to the left and right sides to disengage the two connecting rods 3, thus separating the first crutch 1 and the second crutch 2. At this time, the patient stands up and places the first crutch 1 and the second crutch 2 under their armpits. The soft pads on the first crutch 1 and the second crutch 2 can increase the patient's comfort. The patient grasps the handrail in the middle of the first crutch 1 and the second crutch 2. The patient's hand moves forward one step with the crutch, and then steps out with the opposite leg. This cycle is repeated, so that the device can assist the patient in walking. During this process, part of the patient's weight will be distributed on the crutch, thereby increasing the point of force for the patient when walking and reducing the force on the patient's hands and legs. Thus, the device can exercise the patient's legs and facilitate the patient's walking, improving the practicality of the device.

[0022] like Figure 2As shown, it also includes fixing components. Each pedal 7 is symmetrically equipped with a fixing component, which includes a retaining bead 8, a first connecting spring 9, and a limiting block 10. Retaining beads 8 are symmetrically connected to the pedal 7, and each retaining bead 8 engages with a slot on the second connecting block 6. The retaining beads 8 and the pedal 7 are connected by the first connecting spring 9 via spring seats. Limiting blocks 10 are symmetrically connected to both the first crutch 1 and the second crutch 2. When the patient needs to use assisted walking, moving the pedal 7 towards the side closer to the crutch will cause the retaining bead 8 on that side to move accordingly. As the plate 7 moves outward, the first connecting spring 9 will be compressed, causing the locking bead 8 to disengage from the slot on the connecting block 6. When the locking bead 8 on the other side of the pedal 7 aligns with the slot on the connecting block 6, the first connecting spring 9 will engage the locking bead 8 on the other side with the slot on the connecting block 6, thus fixing the position of the pedal 7. At this time, the side of the pedal 7 closest to the cane is located between the limiting blocks 10, which retracts the pedal 7, so that the patient will not be affected by the pedal 7 when using the device, thus improving the convenience of the device.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a third connecting block 15 and a support block 16. The lower parts of the first crutch 1 and the second crutch 2 are both connected to the third connecting block 15, and the support block 16 is symmetrically and rotatably connected to the third connecting block 15. The support block 16 effectively expands the footprint of the lower part of the device and effectively improves the stability of the device.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a locking block 18, a pull rod 19, and a second connecting spring 20. The third connecting block 15 is slidably connected to the pull rod 19. The two ends of the pull rod 19 are connected to the locking block 18. One side of the support block 16 is located between the locking block 18 and the third connecting block 15. The locking block 18 and the third connecting block 15 are connected to the second connecting spring 20 through the spring seat.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a torsion spring 17 and a magnet. The torsion spring 17 is connected to the connection between the third connecting block 15 and the support block 16. The initial state of the torsion spring 17 is a coiled state. The lower parts of the first crutch 1 and the second crutch 2 are connected to magnets. Pulling the lever 19 away from the side of the crutch will move the lever 19 along with the locking block 18. The second connecting spring 20 is compressed, causing the locking block 18 to disconnect from the support block 16. When the locking block 18 disconnects from the support block 16, the torsion spring 17 will rotate the support block 16 upward. The rotating support block 16 will be attracted by the magnet, thereby fixing the support block 16 and storing it. This reduces the footprint of the device and makes it easier to store the device when not in use. Patients can choose whether to store the support block 16 according to their own needs, which effectively improves the flexibility of the device.

[0026] Although this disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure will understand that various other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of this invention. Therefore, the scope of this invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
