DE202005005431U1 - Table to be used for training of manual coordination, comprising holding elements for joining therapeutic device - Google Patents

Abstract

The table (1) can be made of wood and is fitted with a height adjustable tabletop (2). Two or more cylindrical elements (5) are permanently attached to the upper surface (2.1) suitable for the insertion of the lower ends of therapeutic devices (6). The device can be a wire (6) curved or in a spiral shape. The patient has to follow the shape of the wire (6) by moving a ring (7) with a significantly wider diameter than the wire (6). The wire (6) can be easily exchanged for one with more or less loops depending on the progress of the patient.

Description

The Innovation refers to a therapy table according to the preamble Protection claim 1 and to a therapy device according to the preamble protection claim 5th

The Use of therapy tables, especially those with height-adjustable Table tops on which then set up a variety of therapy equipment become known and are u.a. in the therapy of physical Disabilities as well as in the therapy of defects of the movement coordination etc. used.

task The novelty is to show a therapy table that has an improved Application of therapy devices allowed. To the solution This task is a therapy table according to the protection claim 1 formed.

object The invention furthermore relates to a novel therapy device which in particular, but not exclusively for use with the therapy table according to the invention suitable is.

further developments The invention are the subject of the dependent claims. The innovation is below with reference to the figures of an embodiment explained in more detail.

It demonstrate:

1 in a simplified representation and partly in section a therapy table according to the innovation, together with a attached to this table therapy device;

2 in an enlarged view a section through a fixed to the therapy table holding and fastening element of the therapy device;

3 a section through the shaft of the therapy device of 1 ,

In the figures is 1 a therapy table, for the sake of simplicity only the height adjustable and a horizontal or substantially horizontal top 2.1 and bottom 2.2 forming tabletop 2 is reproduced.

In the example of wood existing tabletop 2 are several inserts or inserts 3 provided, distributed in a predetermined grid. The stakes 3 serve for the detachable attachment of a wide variety of therapy devices on the tabletop top 2.1 , Such a device 4 is in the 1 shown. It basically consists of two, each with an insert 3 releasable fasteners 5 and a shaft extending between these fasteners 6 on which a movement or therapy element 7 is provided for example in the form of a ring movable in the longitudinal direction.

Like in the 3 represented, there is the wave 6 from an inner core 6.1 from a metal wire or other suitable material, which on the one hand a dimensional stability for the shaft 6 guaranteed, on the other hand, however, is deformable, so that the therapist the wave 6 According to the respective purpose of therapy can form a variety of forms, such as helical or spiral, repeatedly curved, etc. The core 6.1 is with a layer 6.2 surrounded by plastic. The latter is formed for example by a plastic tube, in which the core 6.1 is included. As the 3 also shows that possesses that on the shaft 6 threaded therapy element 7 an inner diameter that is much larger than the outer diameter of the shaft 6 ,

In the illustrated embodiment, the fasteners 5 by screwing releasably on the respective use 3 held. For this purpose, there are the fasteners 5 each of a in the illustrated embodiment, cylindrical head piece 5.1 at which the relevant end of the while 6 is attached, and from a threaded pin 5.2 that's about the shaft 6 opposite end face of the head piece 5.1 protrudes. With the threaded pin 5.2 is the respective fastener 5 into the internal thread of the threaded hole 3.1 an insert 3 screwed. The stakes 3 are thus formed in the illustrated embodiment, each of a threaded sleeve, which is continuously from the table top 2.1 to the underside of the table top 2.2 extends, in the area of the tabletop top a larger diameter diameter flange 3.2 has, but with their front sides flush with the table top 2.1 and the tabletop base 2.2 lies. To the respective fastener 5 by screwing in his threaded bolt 5.2 in the internal thread of an insert 3 To fix, is the connection between the shaft 6 and the respective fastener 5 rotatably formed.

Through the inserts 3 and the matching fasteners 5 can the therapy device 4 as well as other therapy devices on the tabletop top 2.1 fixed and secured against slipping or falling over. The therapy devices are also interchangeable.

The areas of application of the therapy table 1 with the various therapy devices are extensive, eg the movement therapy or a therapy for the recovery or improvement the coordination of movements, for example, persons with physical disabilities or restricted mobility.

Especially the therapy device 4 is used so that the patient tries the ring 7 along the wave 6 to move between one end of this shaft and the other end of the shaft.

The invention has been described above by means of an embodiment. It is understood that numerous changes and modifications are possible. So it is particularly possible, the detachable connection between the respective therapy device and the use 3 not as a screw, but otherwise, for example, as a connector with rest, as a bayonet-type quick connection, etc. form.
