Description

[0001] TEST AND / OR TRAINING AND / OR THERAPY DEVICE

[0002] The invention refers to a test and / or training and / or therapy device.

[0003] Corresponding test and / or training and / or therapy devices are basically known from the prior art. For example, it is known to use a device for testing and / or training and / or therapy purposes in which a person to be tested and / or trained and / or treated performs a rotating leg movement guided via a knee over a pivot point against a strength of resistance generated by the device. Such a movement can also be referred to as a one joint movement or "single joint movement". In addition, devices for performing multi-joint movements are known, which comprise a stretching and contracting movement of a person's legs, which is performed over a number of joints and against a resistance. Such devices are known, for example, under the term "leg press" or "leg press device" and require a multi-joint movement of the person. The disadvantage here is that different devices are required to carry out the respective movements or to generate the resistance forces that counteract these specific movements. This leads to high space and resource requirements.

[0004] It is an object of the invention to provide a test and / or training and / or therapy device which, in particular with regard to simple and fast as well as cost-effective measures, makes it possible to subject a person to a test and / or training and / or therapy procedure in a variety of ways. In particular, the test and / or training and / or therapy device is intended to be small in size, i.e. to have a small footprint, for example.

[0005] This object is solved by means of a test and / or training and / or therapy device according to claim 1 . The claims dependent thereon relate to possible embodiments of the test and / or training and / or therapy device. The object is further solved by a method according to claim 18 .

[0006] The invention refers to a test and / or training and / or therapy device comprising (a) a frame, (b) a seat arranged on the frame, in particular attached directly or indirectly to the frame, wherein at least alternately (c) a knee joint device attachable or attached to the frame and (d) a leg device attachable or attached to the frame can be used. During the intended use of the knee joint device and during the intended use of the leg device, the same seat of the test and / or training and / or therapy device is used. By using the same seat of the test and / or training and / or therapy device for the use of the knee joint device and for the use of the leg device, a compact and cost-effective test and / or training and / or therapy device for the alternating execution of a leg movement focussed on one knee joint movement (by means of the knee joint device) and a leg movement focussed on several joints (by means of the leg device) can be made possible.

[0007] The knee joint device comprises a leg support mounted for rotational movement about a rotational axis, the leg support being movable about the rotational axis of the rotationally mounted leg support by the application of a force by a person sitting on the seat and against a resistance moment generated by an actuator. In this case, the force applied by the person can be applied by a leg movement of a person sitting on the seat, guided at least partially, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably exclusively, via the knee joint against a resistance moment generated by an actuator. Alternatively or additionally, the leg support can be moved about the rotational axis of the rotatably mounted leg support by applying a movement force generated by an actuator and against a counterforce generated by a person sitting on the seat. In other words, it may be provided that the leg support is actively moved by the actuator and that the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device has to apply a force opposing this movement of the leg support or that the actuator does not move the leg support itself, but counteracts a movement of the leg support by a force applied by a person.

[0008] For example, it is possible for a person to perform a leg movement essentially, preferably exactly, around the pivot point of their knee joint and for this leg movement to be counteracted by a counterforce or a moment of resistance generated by an actuator, in particular on the test and / or training and / or therapy device side. In other words, the leg support forms an interface between the test and / or training and / or therapy device and the person using this test and / or training and / or therapy device, wherein the person performs a leg movement against a device-side resistance moment, in particular essentially exclusively a single-joint leg movement, in particular via the knee joint. This leg movement performed against the device-side resistance moment can comprise a pulling or a stretching leg movement via the pivot point of the knee joint. Accordingly, a leg device is also to be understood as a device in which a person using this device performs a pulling movement, whereby the counterforce or resistance moment initiated by the actuator can be designed as a pressure force that counteracts the pulling movement. The force exerted by the person on the test and / or training and / or therapy device via the leg support can therefore comprise, for example, a pulling and / or pressure force. A pressure force can, for example, be exerted by the contact of at least one lower leg of the person with the leg support, which is rotatably mounted via the rotational axis. Alternatively or additionally, a pulling force exerted by the person on the test and / or training and / or therapy device can be exerted by a retention means arranged on the leg support, which transmits a pulling movement of a lower leg as a pulling force to the leg support. For example, such a retention means can be designed as a strap that can be attached at least in sections, in particular completely, around the lower leg of the person.

[0009] When the leg device is used as intended, it can be attached to the frame in a non- detachable or detachable manner. The leg device comprises a foot support for holding at least one foot of the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device. During the intended operation of the leg device, the seat and / or the foot support is moved by applying a force by a leg movement of a person sitting on the seat acting on the foot support via at least one foot against a force of resistance generated by an actuator. In other words, the leg device enables a pushing and / or pulling force to be applied by a multi-jointed leg movement of the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device. For this purpose, at least one foot of the person, in particular both feet of the person, is in contact with the foot support, whereby a relative movement between the seat and the foot support is carried out by a leg movement of this person which is carried out or guided via several joints of the person. A strength of resistance generated by the device counteracts this relative movement. The operating state of the leg device therefore enables a person's muti-joint movement to be tested, trained and / or treated. The leg device can therefore also be described as a multi-joint therapy station, as a person using it performs a movement using several of the person's joints. -For example, the leg device can be used as a functional method for assessing the strength of a person's quad. The leg device can be designed in such a way that it is used to move the knee together with the hip and ankle of a person using the leg device. The foot or feet are moved, particularly in a straight line. This multi-joint test is suitable for training the quad in certain knee disorders, for example.

[0010] The foot support can, for example, be designed as a flat, in particular plate-like, body on which the foot surface of at least one foot, in particular both feet, of the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device is placed. A pressure force exerted by the person can be applied to the test and / or training and / or therapy device via the foot support. Alternatively, the foot support has at least one retention means for introducing a pulling force emanating from at least one foot of the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device into the test and / or training and / or therapy device. For example, the retention means comprises at least one strap that can be fastened, in particular laid, around at least one foot of the person.

[0011] The foot support can be designed to receive a single foot and / or both feet of the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device. For example, the foot support comprises two separate receiving sections, each receiving section being designed to receive exactly one foot of the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device. It is possible that the forces acting via the respective receiving sections can be specifically detected and, in particular, assigned to the respective feet. For example, a capture means assigned to a first receiving section can be used to detect the force acting on the foot assigned to this receiving section and a capture means assigned to a second receiving section can be used to detect the force acting on the foot assigned to this second receiving section.

[0012] If the test and / or training and / or therapy device is used as a training device, the use of the knee joint device and / or the leg device can strengthen the thigh muscles of the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device.

[0013] In the course of using the knee joint device, a movement of the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device can be executed with respect to a relative movement of the lower leg to the thigh of this person and a resistance counteracting this movement of the person can be generated by means of the actuator. The possible uses of the test and / or training and / or therapy device during use of the knee joint device and during use of the leg device can also be described as single-joint mode - since the person essentially, in particular exclusively, performs a movement via a single joint (knee joint) - and as multi-joint mode - since a functional joint chain of the person is moved.

[0014] It is possible that the knee joint device and the leg device are at least partially, preferably predominantly (measured by the weight of the components), particularly preferably completely, non-detachably attached to the frame. The test and / or training and / or therapy device thus has both components, in particular all components, of the leg device and components, in particular all components, of the knee joint device as non-detachable elements of the test and / or training and / or therapy device. A non- detachable attachment means that the components cannot be separated from the frame without the use of tools. Non-detachable fastening can also alternatively or additionally be understood to mean non-destructive separation of the components of the knee joint device and leg device.

[0015] It is possible that the test and / or training and / or therapy device is designed in such a way that despite the connection of a component, in particular despite the connection of all components necessary for the intended operation, to the test and / or training and / or therapy device for the execution of a first operating mode - i.e. e.g. use of the knee joint device or the leg device - at least one component, in particular all components necessary for the intended operation, of the other operating mode can remain on the test and / or training and / or therapy device or are not separated from it. This facilitates the handling of the test and / or training and / or therapy device, as the other operating mode (e.g. use of the leg device) can be carried out without dismantling components of a first operating mode (e.g. use of the knee joint device). In this context, twisting a seat or loosening and re-fixing a seat is not understood as the aforementioned disassembly of components.

[0016] The leg support can, for example, be attached or fastened to a leg support holder so that it can rotate about the rotational axis and the leg support holder can be attached to the frame, in particular non-detachably. The leg support holder can form an element that is separate from the frame or integral with the frame. For example, the leg support holder serves to distance the rotational axis of the leg support from the frame and, in particular, from the seat fixed to the frame, especially the seating surface of the seat. For example, an adjusting means can be used to change a distance and / or a position between the seat and the rotational axis of the leg support. The adjusting means can thus be used to enable or adjust a substantially (i.e. e.g. with a deviation of maximum 10 cm, preferably maximum 5 cm, particularly preferably maximum 1 cm) coaxial arrangement, in particular an exactly coaxial arrangement, of the rotational axis of the leg support and a rotational axis of the knee joint of a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device. The leg support holder and the frame form a rigid unit, in particular after the locking of any adjusting means. The leg support holder can, for example, form a non-detachable unit with the frame, in particular a unit that cannot be detached without tools and / or non-destructively. The leg support holder and the frame can be connected to each other in a force-fit and / or form-fit and / or material-fit manner, whereby the fixation of the leg support holder and the frame does not provide for loosening during normal use of the device. This can be implemented, for example, in such a way that the leg support holder and the frame are connected to each other via a screw connection, but the screw connection is designed in such a way that a user of the test and / or training and / or therapy device cannot easily loosen this screw connection, since, for example, a tool, in particular a less common tool (e.g. Torx), is required to loosen the screw connection, which is typically not carried by a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device. Such a screw connection is therefore used for initial assembly at the factory and, if necessary, for carrying out repairs or maintenance on the test and / or training and / or therapy device.

[0017] The adjusting means can, for example, be set up to enable a rotational and / or translational movement of the pivot point of the leg support relative to the frame and / or relative to the seat. For example, the adjusting means can be realised as an eccentric arranged or formed in the vicinity of the pivot point. Alternatively or additionally, the adjusting means can perform a linear movement relative to the frame via a guide structure. The adjusting means, i.e. e.g. the eccentric-supported movement and / or the linear movement, can be lockable. It is possible that the same seat of the test and / or training and / or therapy device is used or can be used in the intended use of the knee joint device and the intended use of the leg device. This enables a simple design of the device and eliminates the need for an additional seat. It may prove useful if the seat is specifically adapted for the respective operating mode (use of the knee joint device and use of the leg device).

[0018] For example, the seat is arranged or can be arranged in a first position and / or orientation for the intended use of the knee joint device and in a second position and / or orientation that differs from the first position and / or orientation for the intended use of the leg device. The change in position and / or orientation can comprise a rotation of the seat about its vertical axis and / or an adjustment of the inclination of the seat and / or a linear displacement of the seat. Optionally, the seat can be arranged in a first section of the frame during use of the knee joint device and in a second section of the frame, which differs from the first section of the frame, during use of the leg device. The two frame sections can be located in completely separate areas of the frame or have an overlapping area. Between the changeover of the seat for the respective operating mode, the seat can perform a rotational and / or translational movement. During the change in the position and / or orientation of the seat, for example, a guide and / or detent means can be effective, which guides a defined movement of the seat to the frame or signals the reaching of defined positions and / or orientations, e.g. by means of a stop. For example, a linear and / or rotating bearing can be used as a guiding means. Optionally, a means can be used as a detent that opposes a displacement movement of the seat at predefined points. For example, to leave a defined first position and / or alignment of the seat relative to the frame, a strength of resistance must be overpressed. Alternatively, the seat can be displaced from a first position and / or orientation intended for use of the knee joint device to a second position and / or orientation intended for use of the leg device, in particular in an automated, motorised manner. For example, user-specific positions and / or orientations for the respective usage mode can be stored in a data memory as position and / or orientation information, so that a control signal can be used to control a motor that changes the position and / or orientation of the seat based on this retrievable position and / or orientation information.

[0019] It may prove expedient if the seat is attached or attachable to the frame so that its orientation about its vertical axis can be changed, wherein the seat is orientated in a first direction during the intended used knee joint device and in a second direction rotated from the first direction by an angle a of at least 5°, preferably at least 25°, particularly preferably at least 40°, most preferably at least 85°, further preferably at least 175°, during the intended used leg device. By rotating the seat about its vertical axis between the two operating modes, the respective elements used for the corresponding operating mode can be arranged or formed in the respective angling segment when viewed from above. Such a structure enables a compact test and / or training and / or therapy device. Rotation of the seat can be made possible, for example, by a detachable fastening of the seat and the ability to mount the seat in at least two orientations. For example, the seat is connected to the frame via a screw connection, whereby the hole pattern used for this screw connection is selected in such a way that it enables the seat to be mounted in at least two orientations assigned to the respective operating modes.

[0020] If the seat is attached or can be attached to the frame in a rotatable manner via a rotating bearing, in particular via a vertical axis of the seat, the seat can be easily and conveniently adapted to the respective usage mode. The seat's ability to rotate can be temporarily locked using a locking device. The rotating bearing makes it possible to rotate the seat relative to the frame in a convenient and simple or defined and thus error-avoiding manner. Preferably, a rotation of the seat is supported by locking means, so that the achievement of a predefined alignment of the seat is supported and consequently the handling of the device is facilitated.

[0021] A locking device of the rotating bearing can, for example, be provided by a forcelocking and / or form-locking fixation means. The fixing means can be designed as an eccentric, for example, whereby the fixing means can preferably be operated by one person without tools via a handle.

[0022] When the knee joint device is in use - i.e. when a single joint mode is executed on the device - it may, for example, be provided that the seat is fixed to the frame, in particular to the frame cantilever, via a fixing means, so that relative movement of the seat relative to the frame, in particular relative to the frame cantilever, is prevented. In other words, the linear movement of the seat, which enables linear movement of the seat during use of the leg device, is blocked. For example, the fixing device is designed as a brake, in particular based on an electromagnetic operating principle. Consequently, the seat can be rigidly connected to the frame while the knee joint device is in use. It is possible, for example, for the fixation means, which temporarily blocks or locks the rotational movement of the seat, and the fixing means, which at least temporarily blocks or locks the linear movement of the seat, to be combined in a locking device or for the corresponding functions to be combined in a locking device.

[0023] For example, a sensor can be assigned to the fixation means and / or the fixing means, in particular a sensor is arranged or formed in or on the fixation means and / or in or on the fixing means, so that the operating state (open position or locked position) of the fixation means and / or the fixing means can be sensed and transmitted to a computer unit. It is thus possible to use this locking information about the fixation means and / or about the fixing means as at least one condition for starting and / or stopping the actuator during a knee joint device mode and / or during a leg device mode.

[0024] The seat and / or the foot support can, in particular exclusively, be attached to or mounted on the frame for linear movement. The seat and / or the foot support can be attached to the frame via a linear guide, for example, so that the seat and / or the foot support can perform a linear movement relative to the frame. If the foot support comprises two receiving sections for holding one foot each, at least one receiving section, preferably both receiving sections, can be mounted on the frame for linear movement. The linear guide of the seat and / or the foot support can, for example, be designed to be blockable or lockable with regard to its movability relative to the frame. For example, the linear movement of the seat and / or the foot support can be provided at least during the intended operation of the leg device and locked during the intended operation of the knee joint device. It is possible that a linear guide used to move the seat during use of the leg device is used at least in sections, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably exclusively, to change the position of the seat to adapt it to the respective operating mode.

[0025] The test and / or training and / or therapy device can, for example, be set up so that the actuator of the test and / or training and / or therapy device can, during the intended use of the knee joint device, generate (a) a resistance moment acting on the person using the knee joint device via the leg support and / or (b) a movement force acting on the person using the knee joint device via the leg support and (c) during the intended use of the leg device, a strength of resistance acting on the person using the leg device via the foot support respectively can be used to generate the resistance moment or the strength of resistance. In particular, a resistance moment that can be variably controlled via a control signal and / or a movement force that can be variably controlled via a control signal and / or a strength of resistance that can be variably controlled via a control signal can be generated or is generatable by the actuator. In other words, the test and / or training and / or therapy device can have a (single) actuator which is used as the resistance-generating means for the force applied by the person for the at least two operating modes (use of the knee joint device and use of the leg device). This means that only a single actuator is used to generate the resistance forces for the at least two operating modes, thus simplifying the test and / or training and / or therapy device. Optionally, the actuator can also be used as a motor for targeted, in particular automated, modification of the position and / or alignment of the seat for its adaptation to the respective operating modes.

[0026] It is possible that the test and / or training and / or therapy device comprises a capture device for capturing at least one force and / or at least one executed movement of a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device. In other words, at least one force generated by the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device (at a point in time) and / or at least one movement performed by the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device is captured or can be captured by means of the device-side capture device. In particular, the capture device can capture an executed relative movement of the leg support to the frame or to the seat and / or a relative movement of the seat to the foot support.

[0027] Optionally, the capture device can comprise a capture means which is set up to be used both for capturing at least one movement and / or one force of a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device during operation of the knee joint device and for capturing at least one movement and / or one force during operation of the leg device. For this purpose, the capture device can be connected to the leg support and / or to the seat and / or to the foot support via transmission elements. The use of the same capture device side capture means for capturing movements and / or forces during operation of the knee joint device and during operation of the leg device has the advantage that during an evaluation of the test and / or training and / or therapy process carried out on the basis of data captured by the capture device or of the capture means, these are more comparable, since any capture means side errors, such as sensor offset, are at least partially the same for both operating modes, so that a comparative analysis of the two operating modes (knee joint device and leg device) can be carried out with greater accuracy.

[0028] It is possible that the capture device forms at least partially a unit with the actuator, for example the actuator can be designed as an electric motor, whereby an evaluation of the currents prevailing at the electric motor enables a conclusion to be drawn about a behaviour or a force generated and / or movement performed by a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device. In this case, the actuator designed as an electric motor can at least partially, in particular completely, realise a capture function of a capture device.

[0029] It is possible that the capture device is at least partially, in particular exclusively, designed as a separate unit and / or is at least partially, in particular exclusively, integrated into the actuator, e.g. by evaluating the current consumption behaviour of the actuator, which is designed as an electric motor, during its operation. For example, the torque and the speed or the rotational angle can be derived from analysing the current and / or voltage applied to the actuator. For example, the current and voltage can be defined by a control signal, whereby the force exerted by the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device causes a "disturbance" in the actual operation of the actuator and this disturbance and / or readjustment against this disturbance is detected and analysed by the actuator.

[0030] The actuator can, for example, be set up to change or control the resistance moment generated by the actuator and / or the strength of resistance generated by the actuator depending on at least one force and / or movement of a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device detected by the capture device. For example, a so-called isokinetic control can be carried out by means of the control of the actuator, taking into account the forces and / or movements of the person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device recorded via the capture device. It is possible for (a) the seat and / or the foot support to be connected or connectable to the actuator in a drivable manner, in particular exclusively, via a first transmission means and (b) the leg support via a second transmission means. The movement (a) of the seat and / or the foot support and (b) of the leg support can, for example, take place alternately via the connection of the actuator via, in particular exclusively, the first transmission means or, in particular exclusively, via the second transmission means and thus via separate drive trains. For example, the first transmission means and the second transmission means may be connected in series, so that in order to drive at least one of the two transmission means via the actuator, at least the other transmission means, which is arranged between the actuator and the first-mentioned transmission means, must be driven in order to drive the first-mentioned transmission means.

[0031] It is possible that (a) the seat and / or the foot support, in particular exclusively, are connected or can be connected to the actuator in a drivable manner via a first transmission means and (b) the leg support, in particular exclusively, via the same transmission means. This makes it possible, for example, to drive both the shaft of the knee joint device moving the leg support and the seat and / or the foot support with a transmission means designed in particular as a chain or belt, preferably as a toothed belt. Consequently, for example, this one transmission means can directly contact or directly drive the shaft of the leg support and a structure that sets the seat and / or the foot support of the leg device in motion.

[0032] It is possible that (a) the seat and / or the foot support, in particular exclusively, are connected or can be connected to the actuator in a drivable manner via a first transmission means and (b) the leg support, in particular exclusively, via the first and a further transmission means. Thus, for the movement (a) of the seat and / or the foot support and (b) of the leg support, a connection of the actuator is used which provides exclusively the first transmission means for the movement of the seat and / or the foot support and the first transmission means and at least one further transmission means for the movement of the leg support.

[0033] The at least one transmission means, in particular all transmission means of the test and / or training and / or therapy device, is or are designable at least in sections, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably exclusively, as a chain drive and / or as a belt drive and / or as a wheel drive and / or as a spindle drive or can comprise such a drive. For example, at least one transmission means, preferably all transmission means of the test and / or training and / or therapy device is designed as a toothed belt.

[0034] The at least one transmission means, in particular at least two transmission means, can be temporarily decoupled from the leg support and / or from the seat and / or from the foot support via a coupling means, for example. In other words, the movement of the leg support and / or the seat and / or the foot support initiated by the actuator and via the transmission means can be at least temporarily decoupled via the coupling means. Consequently, for example, a first and a further transmission means can be connected to each other in a force-transmitting manner via the coupling means, so that the force transmission of the transmission means can be separated by a disengaged position of the coupling means. The coupling means can also be arranged between the leg support and / or the seat and / or the foot support and the at least one transmission means and / or the actuator and, depending on a coupled state or a decoupled state of the coupling means, force transmission from at least one transmission means and / or the actuator to the leg support and / or to the seat and / or to the foot support can take place (coupled state) or be prevented (decoupled state). The leg support of the knee joint device can, for example, be detachably attached to a rotational axis of the leg support, whereby in a detached state of the leg support the rotational axis executes a rotational movement via the transmission means and / or the actuator, but due to the detached state of the leg support there is no space-occupying or dangerous movement on the device. For this purpose, the rotational axis or the interface for attaching the leg support can be arranged in a contact-protected manner so that the connection interface of the leg support cannot be touched when the leg support is detached from the device. It is also possible to provide a sensor that detects whether the leg support is attached to or detached from the device. For example, the intended and / or requested movement of the actuator and / or at least one transmission means (e.g. for using the leg device) can be carried out as a function of the sensor-based detection information, for example only when it has been established that the leg support has been detached from the device. Such a sensor can be designed as a stand-alone sensor that detects the connection or disconnection of the leg support. Alternatively or additionally, the sensor can be implemented as part of an analysis of the operation of the actuator so that, depending on the movement and / or operating behaviour of the actuator, it can be concluded whether a leg support is attached to the device or detached from the device. For this purpose, patterns of the current and / or voltage curve of the actuator's operation can be available for the respective states and a comparison of these defined states with the actual state allows a conclusion to be drawn as to whether the leg support is mounted or dismounted.

[0035] The frame can, for example, comprise a frame cantilever that is movably mounted on a base frame, whereby the seat and / or the foot support of the leg device and / or the leg support of the knee joint device is / are arranged or formed on the frame cantilever. The frame cantilever can, for example, be designed in the manner of a folding bench, which is rotatably mounted on the base frame and can be swivelled or folded from a non-use position into a use position. For example, a frame cantilever is connected to the base frame via a rotating bearing so that the frame cantilever can be moved between the use position and the non-use position via the rotating bearing.

[0036] At least one main extension axis of the frame cantilever can, for example, in a use position include an angle 0 of less than or equal to 45°, preferably less than 25°, particularly preferably less than 10°, most preferably less than 3°, with an installation surface of the test and / or training and / or therapy device and in a non-use position an angle 0 of greater than or equal to 45°, preferably greater than 65°, particularly preferably greater than 80°, most preferably 100°. It is thus possible for the frame cantilever or the foldable bench to be orientated essentially horizontally in the use position and to have a vertical orientation in the non-use position, thus reducing the required floor space when the test and / or training and / or therapy device is not in use. For example, in the non-use position, the frame cantilever is aligned with its main extension axis at an angle of 90° to an installation surface of the test and / or training and / or therapy device.

[0037] The seat can, for example, comprise a seating unit comprising a seating surface and a backrest, whereby the backrest can be attached or fastened to the seating unit so that its position and / or orientation can be changed. For example, the backrest can be folded and / or detachably attached to the seating unit. In the case of a backrest that is detachably attached to the seating unit, it can be separated from the test and / or training and / or therapy device in a non-destructive manner, in particular by a person without tools. For example, the backrest can be mounted during use of the knee joint device and / or the leg device and removed or separated from the seating unit during use of the test and / or training and / or therapy device or the seat in the course of a rowing device or in a rowing mode.

[0038] In addition to the test and / or training and / or therapy device, the invention also relates to a method for operating a test and / or training and / or therapy device for testing and / or training and / or treating a person by means of a test and / or training and / or therapy device described herein.

[0039] All advantages, details, designs and / or features of the test and / or training and / or therapy device according to the invention are transferable or applicable to the method according to the invention.

[0040] The invention is explained in more detail with reference to embodiments in the drawings. It shows:

[0047] Fig. 6: A schematic representation of a test and / or training and / or therapy device during its use in the knee joint device mode according to an exemplary embodiment with a knee joint device rotatably mounted on the frame, in particular with a leg support holder rotatably mounted on the frame.

[0048] The drawings show a test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 comprising (a) a frame 2 and a seat 3 arranged on the frame 2. Furthermore, a knee joint device 4 can be attached or is attached to the frame 2. The knee joint device 4 comprises a leg support 6 mounted so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis 5, wherein the leg support 6 can be moved about the rotational axis 5 of the leg support 6 by applying a force by a leg movement 31 of a person (not shown) sitting on the seat 3, in particular guided via a knee joint, against a resistance moment 8 generated by an actuator 7. Here, the leg support 6 can be moved between a first position (marked with a solid line) and a second position of the leg support 6' (marked with a dashed line) in the directions of the arrows representing the resistance moment 8 and the leg movement 31 . Alternatively or additionally, the leg support (6) is moved about the rotational axis 5 by applying a movement force generated by an actuator 7 and against a counterforce generated by a person sitting on the seat 3. In addition, the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 has a leg device 9 with a foot support 10 which can be attached or is attached to the frame 2, wherein the seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 can be moved against a force of resistance 11 generated by an actuator 7 by a leg movement 32 of a person sitting on the seat 3 acting on the foot support 10 via at least one foot.

[0049] In the embodiment shown, the actuator 7 is arranged centrally between a deflection means 48 of the first transmission means 18 and a deflection means 49 of the second transmission means 19. Alternatively, the actuator 7 can be arranged or formed coaxially to the first and / or second deflection means 48, 49. It is thus possible for the actuator 7 to be carried or supported by the leg support holder 12. Of course, the actuator 7 can also be arranged in a position between the first deflection means 48 or the second deflection means 49 and a transfer means (not shown) between the two transmission means 18, 19.

[0050] The knee joint device 4 and the leg device 9 are at least partially, in particular completely, non-detachably attached to the frame 2. Thus, as shown in the embodiment shown in the figures, it can be provided that the leg support 6 of the knee joint device 4 is mounted on the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 when the knee joint device 4 is in use (see Figure 2) and is separated from the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 when the knee joint device 4 is not in use, for example when the leg device 9 is in use (see Figure 1 ).

[0051] The leg support 6 can, for example, be mounted on a leg support holder 12, rotatable about the rotational axis 5, wherein the leg support holder 12 is attached, in particular non-detachably, to the frame 2. In other words, the leg support holder 12 comprising at least one rotating bearing can be non-detachably attached to the frame, i.e. cannot be separated from the frame during typical use of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 . This can be achieved, for example, by means of a material-fit fastening, e.g. welding, or by selecting a fastening means for fastening the leg support holder 12 which is not so easily detachable, e.g. requires the use of a tool, in particular the use of a special tool or a screwing tool with an "exotic" drive (e.g. Torz, triangular, ...) or by other measures which prevent or at least make it more difficult for a person to detach the fastening.

[0052] It is possible to use an adjusting means (not shown) to change a distance and / or a position between the seat and the rotational axis of the leg support 6. The adjusting means can thus be used to enable or adjust a substantially coaxial arrangement (i.e., for example, with a deviation of at most 10 cm, preferably at most 5 cm, particularly preferably at most 1 cm), in particular an exactly coaxial arrangement, of the rotational axis of the leg support 6 and a rotational axis of a knee joint (not shown) of a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device. For this purpose, the leg support holder 12 can be mounted so as to be movable relative to the frame 2, in particular relative to the frame cantilever 22, via the adjusting means. Preferably, the movability of leg support holder 12 and frame 2 provided by the adjusting means can be temporarily locked. For example, the leg support holder 12 can be moved vertically, i.e. e.g. perpendicular to an installation surface 25 of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 , relative to the seat 3, cf. double-headed arrow 41 . It is possible that the rotational axis of the leg support 6 or the leg support holder 12 can be displaced horizontally (i.e. e.g. parallel to the installation surface 25) and vertically relative to the seat 3 by means of the adjusting means.

[0053] For example, the same seat 3 of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 can be used in the intended used knee joint device 4 and in the intended used leg device 9. The test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 can thus be set up to use the same seat 3 at least during use of the knee joint device 4 and during use of the leg device 9. Optionally, the test and / or training and / or therapy device can also be operated in a rowing mode, whereby the same seat 3 can also be used during the rowing mode as during the use of the leg device 9 and / or during the use of the knee joint device 4. Alternatively, the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 can have at least a second seat 28, which is used at least during the rowing mode, see Figure 3.

[0054] The rowing mode or the use of a rowing device 33 can, for example, have a handle 34 which is connected to an actuator by a flexible element, e.g. by a rope 35, in order to counteract a pulling movement 36 performed by a person sitting on the seat 3, 28 with a resistance 38 which can be adjusted in a defined manner in particular. The actuator used for this purpose can be a different actuator from the actuator 7 generating the resistance moment 8 during use of the knee joint device 4 and / or from the actuator 7 generating the strength of resistance 11 during use of the leg device 9, or the same actuator 7.

[0055] During rowing or during use of the rowing device 33, a person sitting on the seat 28 moves parallel to the installation surface 25. For linearly movable mounting of the seat 3 or seat 28 used during the intended operation of the rowing device 33, it can be mounted on the frame 2, in particular on the frame cantilever 22, in a linearly movable manner via the linear guide 29. When the rowing device 33 is operating as intended, a person sitting on the seat 3, 28 pushes off on the foot support 10 with at least one foot, in particular with both feet, and at the same time pulls on the handle 34 in a direction towards the person or towards themselves. This causes the rope 35 to roll against an actuator-side resistance. When the pulling force applied to the rope 35 by the person decreases (reduction), the rope 35 is rolled up or wound up again so that the handle 34 assumes a position at a corresponding distance from the person for the next pulling force application process and the person can in turn comfortably apply a pulling force movement to the handle 34 that is modelled on rowing and a pressure force to the foot support 10.

[0056] The seat 3 can, for example, be arranged or arrangeable in a first position and / or orientation 13 during the intended use of the knee joint device 4 and in a second position and / or orientation 14, which differs from the first position and / or orientation 13, during the intended use of the leg device 9. The seat 3 can, for example, be fastened or attachable to the frame 2 so as to be variable in its orientation about its vertical axis 15, wherein the seat 3 is oriented in a first direction 13 during the intended use of the knee joint device 4 and is oriented in a second direction 14, which is rotated from the first direction 13 by an angle a o(|) at least 5°, preferably at least 25°, particularly preferably at least 40°, most preferably at least 85°, further preferably at least 175°, during the intended use of the leg device 9.

[0057] The seat 3 can, for example, be rotatably attached or fastened or mounted or supported on the frame 2 via a rotating bearing 16, in particular via a vertical axis 15 of the seat 3. This allows the seat 3 to be rotated at least temporarily without separating the seat 3 from the test and / or training and / or therapy device. For example, the rotatability of the seat 3 can be temporarily locked or blocked using a locking device 39.

[0058] The seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 can, in particular exclusively, be attached to the frame 2 so that it can move linearly. For this purpose, the frame 2 can comprise a linear guide 29, which enables linear movement of the seat and / or the foot support 10. For example, the linear guide 29 is aligned parallel to a main extension axis 23 of the frame 2 and / or a frame cantilever 22 of the frame 2. The test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 can, for example, be set up so that during the intended use of the knee joint device 4 the actuator 7 generates (a) a resistance moment 8 acting via the leg support 6 on the person using the knee joint device 4 and / or (b) a movement force acting via the leg support 6 on the person using the knee joint device 4 and (c) during the intended use of the leg device 9 a strength of resistance 1 1 acting via the foot support 10 on the person using the leg device 9, or can be set up to do so. For example, a resistance moment 8 that can be variably controlled via a control signal and / or a strength of resistance 1 1 that can be variably controlled via a control signal and / or a resistance that can be variably controlled via a control signal is generated by the actuator 7 during the use of the rowing device 33.

[0059] A capture device 17 can, for example, be used to capture at least one force and / or executed movement of a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 . The capture device 17 can be arranged or designed as a non-detachable component of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 . In particular, the capture device 17 can be assigned to at least one member of a drive train of the actuator 7 or be connected to it in a way that captures at least one force and / or one movement.

[0060] The actuator 7 is set up, for example, to change or control the resistance moment 8 generated by the actuator 7 and / or the strength of resistance 11 generated by the actuator 7 as a function of at least one capture device side force and / or movement of a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 . For this purpose, the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 can comprise a computer unit 30. The computer unit 30 can be connected via at least one data connection 40 (a) to the at least one actuator 7 and / or (b) to at least one seat position sensor (not shown) detecting the presence of a seat 3, 28 on the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 and / or the position and / or orientation of a seat 3, 28 and / or (c) with at least one foot support sensor detecting the presence of a foot support 10 on a test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 and / or the position and / or orientation of a foot support 10 and / or (d) with at least one leg support sensor detecting the presence of a leg support 6 on the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 and / or the position and / or orientation of a leg support 6 and / or or be connected to at least one frame cantilever sensor detecting the position and / or orientation of the frame cantilever 22. The seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 can, for example, be connected or connectable to the actuator 7 in a drivable manner via a first transmission means 18 and the leg support 6 via a second transmission means 19. The transmission means 18, 19 thus form a component of a drive train of the actuator 7 for driving or moving the seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 and / or the leg support 6 initiated by the actuator 7.

[0061] Optionally, at least one actuator 7, in particular the same actuator 7 which generates the resistance moment 8 and / or the strength of resistance 1 1 for the knee joint device 4 or the leg device 9 during use, can be used to change a position and / or orientation of at least one seat 3, 28 relative to the frame 2 and / or to change a position and / or orientation of a frame cantilever 22 relative to a base frame 21 . Accordingly, the frame cantilever 22 can be displaced between a use position and a non-use position by means of the control of an actuator.

[0062] The seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 can be driven by the actuator 7 via a first transmission means 18 and the leg support 6 can be driven by the actuator 7 via the first and a further transmission means 18, 19.

[0063] Alternatively, it is possible for the seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 to be drivably connected to the actuator 7 via a transmission means 18 and the leg support 6 via the same transmission means 18, see Figures 5 and 6. In other words, a single transmission means 18 can be provided for the driving movement of the seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 on the one hand and the leg support 6 on the other hand. The transmission means 18 can be set up to utilise an actuator side kinetic energy transmitted to the transmission means 18 at least temporarily (a) to the seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 (e.g. via the coupling means 20) and at least temporarily (b) to the leg support 6 for the respective temporary movement of (a) the seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 and (b) the leg support 6. The transmission means 18 can, for example, be set to a state in which the transmission means 18 (a) moves the seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 and / or the leg support 6 and does not move them in a further state by means of targeted coupling and / or decoupling. Thus, in the case of a single transmission means 18, in particular in the form of a belt or chain-like transmission means 18, in particular in the form of a toothed belt, this can be deflected via several rollers. For example, the transmission means 18 can be deflected via at least three deflection means 48, 49, 50. For example, a first deflection means 48 is assigned or arranged to a rotational axis 5 of the leg support 6 and / or a second deflection means 49 is assigned or arranged to an area assigned to the foot support 10, in particular the end area of the frame cantilever 22. A third deflection means 50 can, for example, be arranged between the first and second deflection means 48, 49.

[0064] It is possible that the actuator 7 is arranged close to and / or coaxial with the axis of rotation of the first and / or the second and / or the third deflection means 48, 49, 50. For example, the deflection means 48, 49, 50 are designed as deflection pulleys or deflection discs for the at least one transmission means 18, 19. In the embodiments shown in Figures 5 and 6, the actuator 7 is located in each case on the deflection means 49 associated with the foot support 10 and / or the seat 3, in particular arranged coaxially.

[0065] It is possible for the single transmission means 18 and / or the at least two transmission means 18, 19 to form at least one first rectilinear section and at least one second rectilinear section, within which the transmission means 18, 19 is aligned so as to extend substantially rectilinearly in sections, in particular so as to extend substantially parallel. In this case, the two outer deflection means 48, 49 end regions and at least one central deflection means 50 can form an inflection point of the at least two rectilinear sections. It is possible that two deflection means 50, 51 are arranged at a bend point of the transmission means 18, so that two belt sections (e.g. load run and empty run of the transmission means 18) are guided or supported, so that two straight sections of the at least one transmission means 18, 19 can form a bent arrangement. As shown as an example in Figure 5, for example, an upper section of the transmission means 18 can be guided or supported by an upper third deflection means 50 and a lower section of the transmission means 18 can be guided or supported by a lower deflection means 51 relative to the third deflection means 50.

[0066] The at least one transmission means 18, 19 can, for example, be temporarily decoupled from the leg support 6 and / or from the seat 3 and / or from the foot support 10 via a coupling means 20. It is possible for the coupling means 20 to be transferred between a force-transmitting closed position and a non-force-transmitting open position by means of a manually operated handle, i.e. the energy for changing the switching position of the coupling means 20 is applied by a person. Alternatively, the coupling means 20 can be switched between the open and closed position by means of an actuating means (not shown) that can be activated via a control signal, in particular automatically. For this purpose, energy for the switching operation of the coupling means 20 can, for example, be provided at least in part by an actuator, in particular by the same actuator 7 that generates the resistance moment 8 and / or the strength of resistance 1 1 during use of the knee joint device 4 or the leg device 9. For example, an input unit (not shown) can be used to supply a computer unit 30 with usage request information indicating the usage mode of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 , which initiates a corresponding control of the actuator 7 and / or the actuating means in order to transfer the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 at least partially, in particular completely, into the one state for using the desired usage mode (knee joint device and / or leg device and / or rowing device and / or non-use position). For example, starting from the desired use information supplied to the computer unit 30, a switching position of the coupling means 20 and / or a position and / or orientation of the seat 3, 28 and / or the foot support 10 and / or the leg support 6 and / or the frame cantilever 22 can be transferred to a position and / or orientation assigned to the desired use mode on which the desired use information is based.

[0067] The frame 2 may, for example, comprise a frame cantilever 22 movably mounted on a base frame 21 , wherein the seat 3 and / or the foot support 10 of the leg device 9 and / or the leg support 6 of the knee joint device 4 is / are arranged or formed on the frame cantilever 22.

[0068] A main extension axis 23 of the frame cantilever 22 can, for example, in a use position 24 include an angle 0 of less than or equal to 45°, preferably less than 25°, particularly preferably less than 10°, most preferably less than 3°, with an installation surface 25 of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 and in a non-use position an angle 0 of greater than or equal to 45°, preferably greater than 65°, particularly preferably greater than 80°, most preferably 100°. In an exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 4, the angle 0 is 90°.

[0069] The seat 3 can, for example, comprise a seating unit 37 comprising a seating surface 26 and a backrest 27, wherein the backrest 27 can be fastened or secured to the seating unit 37 so that its position and / or orientation can be changed. For example, the backrest 27 can be hinged and / or detachably mounted or attached to the seating unit 37.

[0070] For example, the frame cantilever 22 can be supported, in particular exclusively, via the base frame 21 to an installation surface 25. In other words, the frame cantilever 22 can form a self-supporting structure which is supported exclusively via the base frame 21 to the installation surface 25. The frame cantilever 22 may, for example, be rotatably and / or linearly movably mounted on the base frame 21. As shown in Figure 3a, the frame cantilever 22, in particular together with the components attached to it (e.g. seat 3 and / or foot support 10 and / or leg device 9 and / or leg support 6), can be rotatably mounted on the base frame 21 via a pivot point 42 or a rotating bearing and can be folded from a horizontal orientation (see Figures 3a to 3c) into a vertical orientation (Figure 4), see arrow 43.

[0071] It is possible for the frame cantilever 22 to be mounted on the base frame 21 such that it can move linearly, see arrow 44. For example, a distance between the frame cantilever 22 and the installation surface 25 can be changed by means of a linearly movable, in particular vertically movable, mounting of the frame cantilever 22 on the base frame 21 . This can be used to allow a person to sit comfortably on a seat 3, 28 placed on the frame cantilever 22. Alternatively or additionally, the linear mobility, in particular the vertical mobility, of the frame cantilever 22 relative to the base frame 21 can be used to enable a compact volume of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 during a non-use position. The linear mobility and / or the vertical mobility of the frame cantilever 22 relative to the base frame 21 is exemplified by the doubleheaded arrow 44 in Figures 3c to 4.

[0072] In the non-use position, see Figure 4, the backrest 27 can be moved into an extended position relative to the seating unit 37 via a pivot point 45 (see Arrow 46) in order to enable a compact volume of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 in the nonuse position. The rotatability of the backrest 27 can thus fulfil a dual function, on the one hand setting a comfortable sitting position for a person using the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 and on the other hand a compact volume of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 while it is in the non-use position. Alternatively, the backrest 27 can be separated from the seating unit 37.

[0073] It is also possible for the foot support 10 to be adjustably, in particular rotatably, mounted on the frame cantilever 22, so that in the non-use position of the test and / or training and / or therapy device 1 the foot support 10 assumes an extended, in particular parallel, orientation relative to the main extension axis 23 of the frame cantilever 22. For this purpose, the foot support 10 can, for example, be swivelled relative to the frame cantilever 22, see arrow 47.

[0074] It is possible that the leg support holder 12 or the knee joint device 4 is mounted in such a way that it can perform a translational and / or rotational movement relative to the frame 2. An example of a translational and rotational movement can be a movement that comprises both sectional rotary and sectional linear movement components. Such a movement can be realised, for example, by means of a link guide. In the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 5, the leg support holder 12 is mounted on the frame 2 so that it can move linearly. In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 6, the leg support holder 12 is mounted on the frame 2 so that it can rotate about the pivot point 57 or the rotational axis and, in particular, can be locked at the respective rotational angles. This allows the rotational axis 5 to be adjusted relative to the seating surface 26 in height (perpendicular to the main extension plane 23 of the frame 2 and / or the frame cantilever 22) and distance (parallel to the main extension plane 23 of the frame 2 and / or the frame cantilever 22) to suit the user of the device. Such adjustability of the leg support holder 12 about the pivot point 57 is evident from the bent double-headed arrow 41 in Figure 6.

[0075] An exemplary design of a coupling means 20 for coupling a seat 3 with at least one transmission means 18, 19 is shown in Figure 6. Here, a transmission variant also known as an omega transmission is implemented. This provides for at least one transmission means 18, 19 to be guided via three deflection pulleys 52, 53, 54, preferably lying in a common straight plane. These deflection pulleys 52, 53, 54 have a freewheeling state, so that the deflection pulleys 52, 53, 54, which are fixed to the seat 3 (or foot support 10), run idle relative to the at least one transmission means 18, 19 and therefore a displacement of the seat 3 or the foot support can be carried out independently of the movement of the at least one transmission means 18, 19. At least one of the deflection pulleys 52, 53, 54 can be made rigid via a pulley lock, so that at least one deflection pulley 52, 53, 54 cannot perform any movement relative to the transmission means 18, 19 resting against or contacting this deflection pulley 52, 53, 54. As a result, the seat 3 or the foot support 10 is moved or moved accordingly with a reciprocating movement of the at least one transmission means 18, 19. The pulley lock 55 can, for example, have an engagement structure which temporarily, i.e. in the locked state, locks at least one deflection pulley 52, 53, 54 in its rotational movement. It is possible that the pulley lock 55 or, more generally, the coupling means 20 is connected to a computer unit 30 via a data connection 40, so that, for example, control signals for one coupling and decoupling state can be transmitted to the coupling means 20, in particular to the pulley lock 55, via the computer unit 30. As an alternative to the transmission of the movement from the belt to the seat 3 shown in Figure 6, the belt and seat 3 can also be coupled in a different way, e.g. in the form of a flat belt coupling, i.e. a flat engageable and disengageable contact structure between the transmission means 18, 19 and the seat 3.
