Solche Orthesengelenke kommen insbesondere in der Orthopädie zur Bildung von Orthesen zum Einsatz, mit denen Patienten beispielsweise mit einer Gelenk- und/oder Muskelschwäche und/oder Knochenschwäche eine mechanische Stütze zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Die Orthesengelenke kommen insbesondere bei Patienten mit einer dauerhaften Erkrankung, für Patienten in einem Therapieverlauf sowie als Geh- oder Stehhilfe für Patienten mit anderweitig geschwächter oder kontraktierter Muskulatur zum Einsatz. Üblicherweise sind die Orthesengelenke verschwenkbar ausgebildet, derart, dass sie von einer gestreckten Position, der so genannten Extension, in eine gebeugte Position, der so genannten Flexion, und umgekehrt verschwenkbar sind.Such Orthoses are used in particular in orthopedics Formation of orthoses are used, with which patients, for example with a joint and / or muscle weakness and / or bone weakness one mechanical support to disposal is provided. The orthoses are especially in patients with a permanent illness, for patients in a course of therapy as well as walking or standing aid for Patients with other weaknesses or contracted muscles are used. Usually, the orthoses are formed pivotable, such that they are of a stretched Position, the so-called extension, in a bent position, the so-called flexion, and vice versa are pivotable.
Für die Nachbildung des natürlichen Bewegungsablaufes beim Gehen sind z. B. unterschiedliche Verriegelungs- bzw. Entriegelungszustände der Orthesengelenke notwendig, um das natürliche Gangbild des Menschen möglichst exakt nachzubilden. Anders ausgedrückt ist es wünschenswert bzw. erforderlich, einerseits insbesondere bei der Belastung des Beins sicherzustellen, dass das Orthesengelenk das Knie sicher und zuverlässig stützt und andererseits bei der Entlastung ein Schwingen des Beins zu ermöglichen. Es sind automatische Systemgelenke mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruches 1 bekannt. Mit dem Begriff „anatomisches Gelenk” sind menschliche Gelenke gemeint, die durch das Orthesengelenk in ihrer Funktion unterstützt werden. Das Sperrelement ist zum automatischen Entriegeln bzw. Verriegeln der Gelenkteile in einer beliebigen Position durch das Betätigungselement ausgebildet und eingerichtet. Der Begriff „beliebige Position” bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass die Gelenkteile nicht nur in voller Streckung in der Standphase sondern auch in einer beliebigen Beugung (Kniebeugewinkel) der Standphase verriegelbar sind.For the replica of the natural Movement while walking are z. B. different interlocking or unlocking states The orthotic joints necessary to the natural gait of man preferably to replicate exactly. In other words, it is desirable or required, on the one hand, in particular in the burden of Leg to ensure that the orthotic joint secure the knee and reliable supports and on the other hand to allow the swinging of the leg during the discharge. These are automatic system joints with the characteristics of the generic term of the Claim 1 known. The term "anatomical joint" is human Joints meant by the orthotic joint in their function supports become. The blocking element is for automatic unlocking or locking the hinge parts in any position by the actuator trained and furnished. The term "any position" means in this regard, that the joint parts not only in full Stretching in the stance phase but also in any diffraction (Kniebeugewinkel) the stance phase are lockable.
Bei diesen bekannten Orthesengelenken ist am Beispiel einer Orthese als Sensormittel im Bereich des Fußteils bzw. der Fußsohle ein Drucksensor vorgesehen. Beim Fersenauftritt wird der Drucksensor auf Druck belastet. Dieses Signal wird an die Auswerteeinheit übermittelt, die das Signal dann an die Steuerungs- und/oder Regelungseinheit weiterleitet. Die Auswerteeinheit und die Steuerungs- und/oder Regelungseinheit können separate Einheiten sein oder in einer Einheit zusammengefasst sein. Das Betätigungselement wird dann von der Steuerungs- und/oder Regelungseinheit aus der Entriegel-Position in die Verriegel-Position bewegt, so dass das Orthesengelenk gesperrt ist. In dieser Position kann das Bein belastet werden. Durch ein leichtes Extensionsmoment unmittelbar vor der Schwungphase wird das Orthesengelenk wieder entriegelt. Die bekannten Systemgelenke weisen jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass insbesondere die Verriegelung der beiden Gelenkteile von der Berührung des Bodens mit dem Fußteil abhängig ist. Anders ausgedrückt kann z. B. die Verriegelung der Gelenkteile erst nach Berührung des Fußteils mit dem Boden erfolgen. Dadurch besteht eine Restunsicherheit bezüglich der Verriegelung für den optimalen Schalt- bzw. Auslösezeitpunkt.at This known orthotic joints is the example of an orthosis as sensor means in the region of the foot part or the sole of the foot Pressure sensor provided. At the heel strike, the pressure sensor becomes loaded on pressure. This signal is transmitted to the evaluation unit, then the signal to the control and / or regulating unit forwards. The evaluation unit and the control and / or regulating unit can be separate units or be grouped together. The actuator is then from the control unit from the Unlocked position moves to the locking position, so that the Orthosis joint is locked. In this position, the leg can be loaded become. By a slight extension moment immediately before the In the swing phase, the orthotic joint is unlocked again. The well-known However, system joints have the disadvantage that in particular the locking of the two joint parts from the touch of the Floor with the foot part dependent is. In other words can z. B. the locking of the joint parts only after touching the foot part done with the ground. As a result, there is a residual uncertainty with respect to the lock for the optimal switching or tripping time.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht daher darin, ein einfaches und sicheres Orthesengelenk zu schaffen, das zuverlässig den natürlichen Bewegungsablauf eines menschlichen Gelenkes, insbesondere eines Kniegelenkes unterstützt.The Object of the present invention is therefore a simple and to create a secure orthotic joint, which reliably natural Movement of a human joint, in particular one Knee joint supported.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Orthesengelenk mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen dadurch gelöst, dass das Sensormittel mindestens zwei Sensoren aus der Gruppe Neigungssensor, Drehwinkelsensor, Beschleunigungssensor, Gyroskop zum Erfassen von den Bewegungs- und/oder Ruhezustand eines Menschen beschreibenden Informationen umfasst und die Auswerteeinheit zum Ermitteln von Entriegelungs- und Verriegelungszeitpunkten ausgebildet und eingerichtet ist. Mindestens zwei Sensoren aus der genannten Gruppe beinhaltet ausdrücklich auch eine Ausführungsformen, in der z. B. zwei Sensoren eines Typs oder je ein Sensor unterschiedlicher Typen ausgewählt werden können. Durch das Vorhandensein von mindestens zwei Sensoren der genannten Typen ist eine besonders exakte Erfassung der Bewegungs- und Ruhezustände des Patienten gewährleistet, so dass ein natürliches Bewegungs- bzw. Gangbild nachgeahmt werden kann. Die Möglichkeit der Verriegelung des Orthesengelenkes unmittelbar vor dem Auftreten des Fußes auf dem Boden gibt dem Patienten die notwendige Sicherheit für ein natürliches Gangbild. Durch die Ausbildung und Einrichtung der Auswerteeinheit zum Ermitteln von Verriegelungs- und Entriegelungszeitpunkten ist das natürliche Gangbild in jeder Phase optimal nachahmbar.These Task is by an orthotic joint with the aforementioned Characteristics solved by that the sensor means at least two sensors from the group tilt sensor, Rotation angle sensor, acceleration sensor, gyroscope for detecting Information describing the state of motion and / or rest of a person and the evaluation unit for determining unlocking and locking times is designed and set up. At least two sensors from the mentioned group expressly include an embodiment, in the z. B. two sensors of one type or one sensor each different Types selected can be. By the presence of at least two sensors of the types mentioned is a particularly accurate detection of the states of motion and rest of the Ensures patients so that a natural movement or gait pattern can be imitated. The possibility of locking of the orthotic joint immediately before the onset of the foot The soil gives the patient the necessary security for a natural one Gait. By training and setting up the evaluation unit to determine locking and unlocking times the natural one Gait image optimally reproducible in every phase.
Vorzugsweise sind alle Sensoren des Sensormittels vom anatomischen Gelenk, insbesondere Kniegelenk abwärts angeordnet. Anders ausgedrückt können die Sensoren im Kniegelenk selbst oder darunter angeordnet sein.
