Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a gait trainer, belonging to the field of fitness equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing fitness equipment is primarily designed for healthy individuals, focusing on muscle strength or cardiopulmonary function training, but lacks gait training devices specifically for rehabilitation patients and the elderly. Gait training demands high levels of hand-foot coordination, balance, and neuromuscular control, especially for stroke, spinal cord injury, or post-joint surgery patients who urgently need scientific coordinated training to restore motor function. However, traditional equipment such as treadmills and elliptical trainers struggle to achieve precise hand-foot coordination and load adjustment, while gait training equipment specifically designed for rehabilitation institutions is often bulky and expensive, making it unsuitable for home or community settings.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a gait trainer that has a simple structure, is beneficial for gait training of rehabilitation patients and the elderly, and is also beneficial for hand-foot coordination training. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a gait trainer that, with a simple structure, is beneficial for gait training of rehabilitation patients and the elderly, and at the same time, is beneficial for hand-foot coordination training; it can overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model discloses a gait trainer, which includes a support frame arranged on the left and right, a turntable between opposite sides of the support frame, and flexible horizontal obstacle columns on opposite sides of the turntable. The horizontal obstacle columns are circumferentially distributed around the edge of the turntable, and a manual crank is provided in the middle of the turntable.

[0006] As mentioned above, there are two sets of horizontal obstacle columns, with different radii from the center of the turntable, and the two sets of horizontal obstacle columns are arranged alternately.

[0007] The aforementioned mounting sleeves are provided with horizontal obstruction posts distributed on the turntable, and the mounting sleeves are provided with fastening screws for the horizontal obstruction posts.

[0008] The aforementioned horizontal barrier columns are flexible colloid or sponge columns.

[0009] The aforementioned turntable has a hollowed-out structure in some parts.

[0010] As mentioned above, a fixed shaft is provided on the upper side of the support frame, and the turntable is movably connected to the fixed shaft through a bearing.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. When using this device, rehabilitation patients or the elderly should first enter the middle position between the turntables, then place their left and right legs between the horizontal obstacle pillars of the left and right turntables respectively. By holding the joysticks with both hands, they should alternately rotate the turntables. When the turntables rotate, they will cause the horizontal obstacle pillars on them to rotate. When the horizontal obstacle pillars rotate to the side of the body, they should lift their feet to avoid the obstacle. By alternately rotating the turntables left and right and alternately lifting their legs to avoid the obstacle, it is beneficial for gait training and also for training hand-foot coordination.

[0012] 2. There are two sets of horizontal obstacle pillars. The two sets of horizontal obstacle pillars have different radii to the center of the turntable, and the two sets of horizontal obstacle pillars are arranged alternately. By setting two sets of horizontal obstacle pillars with different radii and different heights, the height of the leg lift can be adjusted, which is conducive to further improving the effect of gait training.

[0013] 3. The horizontal obstacle posts are made of flexible gel or sponge. This material allows the horizontal obstacle posts to deform when they touch the legs, avoiding injury from hard contact. Furthermore, this type of horizontal obstacle post easily returns to its original shape after deformation.

[0014] 4. The turntable has a hollow structure in the middle part. This structure can reduce the overall weight of the turntable and facilitate rotation.

[0015] 5. Mounting sleeves for horizontal obstruction posts are distributed on the turntable, and fastening screws for the horizontal obstruction posts are provided on the mounting sleeves. This mounting sleeve design facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the horizontal obstruction posts after they are damaged. During installation, simply insert the horizontal obstruction post into the mounting sleeve and then tighten it with the fastening screws to complete the installation.

[0016] Other advantages, objectives, and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following examination and study, or may be learned from practice of this invention. The objectives and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained through the following description. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 2 This is a front view of the present invention.

[0019] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the single-sided turntable connection structure of the first embodiment of this utility model.

[0020] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connection structure of the single-sided turntable in the second scheme.

[0021] Among them, support frame 1; turntable 2; horizontal obstacle column 3; manual crank 4; mounting sleeve 5. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a gait training device, which includes a support frame 1 arranged on the left and right sides. A turntable 2 is provided between opposite sides of the support frame 1. A fixed shaft is provided on the upper side of the support frame 1. The turntable 2 is movably connected to the fixed shaft through bearings. Flexible horizontal obstacle columns 3 are provided on opposite sides of the turntable 2. The horizontal obstacle columns 3 are circumferentially distributed around the edge of the turntable 2. A manual crank 4 is provided in the middle of the turntable 2. With this structure, when rehabilitation patients or the elderly use it, they first enter the middle position between the turntables 2. Then, their left and right legs are respectively positioned between the horizontal obstacle columns 3 of the left and right turntables 2. By holding the crank 4 with both hands, they alternately crank the turntable 2. When the turntable 2 rotates, it drives the horizontal obstacle column 3 on it to rotate. When the horizontal obstacle column 3 rotates to the side of the human body, the human body avoids the obstacle by lifting its feet. By alternately rotating the turntable 2 left and right and alternately lifting the legs to avoid the obstacle, it is beneficial to conduct gait training. At the same time, it is also beneficial to train the coordination of the hands and feet.

[0024] Furthermore, there are two sets of horizontal obstacle pillars 3, with different radii from the center of the turntable 2. The two sets of horizontal obstacle pillars 3 are arranged alternately. By setting two sets of horizontal obstacle pillars 3 with different radii and different heights, the height of the leg lift can be adjusted, which is beneficial to further improve the effect of gait training.

[0025] Furthermore, the horizontal obstacle post 3 is made of flexible gel or sponge. This material allows the horizontal obstacle post 3 to deform upon contact with the legs, preventing injury from hard contact. Simultaneously, this structure allows the horizontal obstacle post 3 to easily recover its original shape after deformation. Furthermore, the turntable 2 has a partially perforated structure, which reduces its overall weight and facilitates rotation. Additionally, because the device is elevated above the human body and has a relatively large volume, the turntable 2 is made of lightweight materials, such as lightweight aluminum alloy or bamboo charcoal.

[0026] Example 2, as Figure 4As shown, this embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Specifically, mounting sleeves 5 for horizontal obstacle posts 3 are distributed on the turntable 2, and fastening screws for the horizontal obstacle posts 3 are provided on the mounting sleeves 5. This arrangement of mounting sleeves 5 facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the horizontal obstacle posts 3 after damage. During installation, it is only necessary to insert the horizontal obstacle post 3 into the mounting sleeve 5 and then fasten it with the fastening screws to complete the installation.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to restrict the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model and based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
