Abstract

The device has a measuring arrangement that is placed in orthosis. The physical forces are absorbed by one or multiple air chambers. The physical forces, pressure and time period of the strains are detected during walking or jogging and are stored on a storage device, such as Universal serial bus, hard disk, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory and storage media. The stored data is analyzed by a software. The measuring arrangement is integrated in a holder that is located at a shoe or on foot.

Description

Anwendungsfall 1:Use case 1:

[0001] Im postoperativen Verlauf bei Sprunggelenk, Knie und Hüfte, darf der Bewegungsapparat für mehrere Wochen nur teilbelastet werden. Zur Überwachung während der Rehabilitation werden die Schritte über mehrere Wochen auf einem Datenträger aufgezeichnet. Mittels einer Software wird die Belastung (Kraft und Zeit) der einzelnen Schritte ausgewertet. Bei Bedarf kann ein Austausch zwischen dem Arzt, der Reha-Einrichtung und/oder der Krankenkasse erfolgen. In the postoperative course of the ankle, knee and hip, the musculoskeletal system may only be partially loaded for several weeks. For monitoring during rehabilitation, the steps are recorded over several weeks on a data carrier. By means of software, the load (force and time) of the individual steps is evaluated. If necessary, an exchange between the doctor, the rehabilitation facility and / or the health insurance can be done.

Anwendungsfall 2:Use case 2:

[0002] Bei sportlichen Aktivitäten wie Joggen. Skifahren und Springen soll die Belastung auf den unteren Extremitäten erfasst und auf einem Speichermedium gespeichert werden. Mittels einer Software wird die Belastung der einzelnen Schritte ausgewertet und die Belastungszonen können so optimiert werden. For sports activities such as jogging. Skiing and jumping should be recorded on the lower extremities and stored on a storage medium. By means of software, the load of the individual steps is evaluated and the load zones can be optimized.

Anwendungsfall 3:Use case 3:

[0003] Bei einem diabetischen Fuss unterliegt der Fuss einer max. Belastung, da es sonst eine Amputation des Fusses zur Folge haben kann. Hierfür trägt der Patient eine spezielle Orthese wobei sich die Messanordnung in der Orthese (Fig. 3) befindet. In a diabetic foot, the foot is subject to a max. Strain, as it may otherwise result in amputation of the foot. For this purpose, the patient wears a special orthosis with the measuring arrangement in the orthosis (FIG. 3).

Anwendungsfall 4:Use case 4:

[0004] Zur neurologischen Diagnostik und Therapie. [0004] For neurological diagnosis and therapy.

[0005] Die vorliegende Erfindung liegt demzufolge die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens bereitzustellen, mit deren Hilfe die physikalischen Kräfte in der Fortbewegung auf die unteren Extremitäten erfasst und ausgewertet werden. The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method and an apparatus for performing the method by which the physical forces in locomotion on the lower extremities are detected and evaluated.

[0006] Die Belastung wird über Sensoren in einer Schuh Orthese (Fig. 3) und einer Luftkammer im Schuh (Fig. 2) erfasst. Die Sensoren und Luftkammer/n leiten die Signale an eine Elektronik mit Mikrocontroller (Fig. 4, 44) zur Auswertung weiter. Die ausgewerteten Signale werden auf einem Speicher (USB, Festplatte sowie weitere Speichermedien) gespeichert. Die Übertragung der Signale erfolgt via Kabel oder kabellose via Funk (Fig. 5), Bluetooth oder ein anderes kabelloses System. The load is detected via sensors in a shoe orthosis (FIG. 3) and an air chamber in the shoe (FIG. 2). The sensors and air chamber (s) forward the signals to an electronic unit with microcontroller (FIGS. 4, 44) for evaluation. The evaluated signals are stored on a memory (USB, hard disk and other storage media). The signals are transmitted via cable or wireless via radio (Fig. 5), Bluetooth or another wireless system.

[0007] Mittels Start/Stopp wird der Betrieb an der Elektronik mit Mikrocontroller aktiviert/deaktiviert. Die Start/Stopp Funktion befindet sich an der Empfangseinheit mit Elektronik und Mikrocontroller (Fig. 4, 44). Im Einzelfall wird wahlweise die Empfangseinheit der verkabelten Variante (Fig. 4) oder die Funk-Variante (Fig. 5) verwendet. By means of start / stop the operation is activated / deactivated on the electronics with microcontroller. The start / stop function is located on the receiver unit with electronics and microcontroller (Fig. 4, 44). In individual cases, either the receiving unit of the wired variant (FIG. 4) or the radio variant (FIG. 5) is used.
