Anti-shake walker handle for parkinson patient

Technical Field

The invention relates to a handle structure of a walking aid, in particular to an anti-shake walking aid handle for Parkinson patients.

Background

According to statistics, the prevalence rate of the Parkinson disease of people over 65 years old in China is about 1.7%. Parkinson patients exhibit resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity of muscles and postural gait disturbance motor symptoms and cause starting difficulties and postural instability and easy falls. The Parkinson patients often need to walk with the help of a walking aid due to the movement dysfunction, however, the limbs of the patients cannot be controlled to shake, the patients do not shake continuously when the walking aid is used, the walking stability of the Parkinson patients is reduced, and the damage to muscles is increased.

At present, no walking aid or walking aid handle special for Parkinson patients exists in China, and walking aids in the market cannot meet the activity requirements of Parkinson patients. Therefore, there is a need to design an anti-shake walker handle for parkinson's patients to assist the parkinson's patients in walking, eliminate tremor when using the walker, and reduce muscle damage.

Furthermore, the diameter of the opening of the spherical hinge seat is set to be one half of the diameter of the spherical hinge, so that the rotation range of the spherical hinge is limited within 60 degrees, and the motion range of a Parkinson patient can be met.

Furthermore, the handle is connected with the spherical hinge through a screw pair, so that the handle is convenient to disassemble and assemble.

Furthermore, the spherical hinge seat is formed by combining two hemispherical seats, and the two hemispherical seats are locked by the clamping screws on the two sides, so that the spherical hinge is easy to install.

Furthermore, the handles are also provided with binding bands which can be used for fixing the positions of the hands of the Parkinson patient and the handles of the walking aid.

Furthermore, a set screw is arranged on a mounting hole at the lower part of the spherical hinge seat, and the handle can be fixed on the walking aid through the set screw.

The invention has the beneficial effects that:

according to the anti-shaking walking aid handle for the Parkinson patient, the handle is connected with the spherical hinge through the screw pair, shaking of the Parkinson patient is eliminated through the kinematic pair between the spherical hinge and the spherical hinge seat, and the effects of improving walking stability of the Parkinson patient and reducing muscle damage are achieved.

In addition, the rotation range of the spherical hinge can be limited within 60 degrees, and the rotation range of the walking aid which is shaken when a Parkinson patient uses the walking aid is met.

The clearance passes through 5 spring coupling between ball pivot and the ball pivot seat, on the fixed ball pivot seat of spring one end, during one end inserted the ball pivot groove, when the parkinson patient trembles, the handle can be in the removal degree of freedom of providing about from top to bottom, more accords with the tremor activity degree of the parkinson patient, reduces the injury that the tremor brought patient's muscle.

The invention can be installed on any walking aid, the handle can be fixed on the walking aid through the fastening screws on two sides, and the invention is suitable for all walking aids, such as frame type walking aids, four-wheel walking aids and the like, and has strong universality.

The handle and the spherical hinge are connected through the screw pair, and the handle and the spherical hinge are in modular design and convenient to disassemble and assemble. The bandage can be used for fixing the positions of the hands of the Parkinson patient and the handles of the walking aid, is convenient to wear and is simple to use. The spherical hinge seat is formed by combining 2 hemispheres, is locked by clamping screws at two sides, and is easy to install a spherical hinge.

Detailed Description

The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the anti-shake walker handle for Parkinson's patients of the present invention comprises: the handle 1, the bandage 2, the ball pivot 3, the clamping screw 4, the ball pivot seat 5, the holding screw 6, the spring 7.

The lower ends of two side columns of the handle 1 are respectively connected with a spherical hinge seat 5 through a spherical hinge 3 and are arranged on any walking aid through the spherical hinge seats 5; five springs 7 are arranged in a gap between the spherical hinge 3 and the spherical hinge seat 5, wherein the three springs 7 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the horizontal gap between the spherical hinge 3 and the spherical hinge seat 5, the two springs 7 are arranged in the bottom gap between the spherical hinge 3 and the spherical hinge seat 5, one end of each spring 7 is fixed on the spherical hinge seat 5, and the other end of each spring 7 is inserted into the groove of the spherical hinge 3, so that the handle 1 can provide the freedom of movement of the Parkinson patients when the Parkinson patients shake, the shaking activity of the Parkinson patients is met, and the damage of the shaking to the muscles of the Parkinson patients is reduced.

The opening diameter of the spherical hinge seat 5 is set to be one half of the diameter of the spherical hinge 3, so that the rotation range of the spherical hinge 3 is limited within 60 degrees, and the motion range of a Parkinson patient can be met. The handle 1 is connected with the spherical hinge 3 through a screw pair, so that the disassembly and the assembly are convenient. The spherical hinge seat 5 is formed by combining two hemispherical seats, and the two hemispherical seats are locked by the clamping screws 4 at the two sides, so that the spherical hinge 3 is easy to install.
