Description
Beschreibung (. Description (.
■ Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur selbständigen Fortbewegung Gelähmter durch Muskelkraft der eigenen gelähmten Beine.■ The invention relates to a device for the independent movement of paralyzed people using the muscle power of their own paralyzed legs.
". Die Beförderung von gelähmten Patienten erfolgt in der Regel in RoIljjj
stuhlen, die entweder vom Patienten selbst von Hand oder motorisch an-I
getrieben bzw. von einer Begleitperson geschoben geschoben werden. I Die Immobilität dieser Patienten ab der Taille fußwärts führt über die
% Leiden der Behinderung im allgemeinen zu weiteren Krankheitssymptomen I im besonderen zu Durchblutungsstörungen, Gelenkschmerzen, erhöhter
f Spastik, Sitzbeschwerden und Darmträgheit.
; Da diese Patienten neue Möglichkeiten zur Eigenaktivitätssteigerung
geboten bekommen müssen, um die o.g. negativen Folgen Ihrer Immobilität mindern zu können, wurde ein neues Konzept zur Selbsthilfe erfinderisch
erarbeitet.". Paralyzed patients are usually transported in wheelchairs which are either powered by the patient himself or by a motor or are pushed by an accompanying person. The immobility of these patients from the waist down leads to other symptoms of the disease in addition to the suffering caused by the disability in general, in particular to circulatory disorders, joint pain, increased spasticity, sitting problems and constipation.
; Since these patients need to be offered new opportunities to increase their own activity in order to reduce the negative consequences of their immobility mentioned above, a new concept for self-help has been inventively developed.
I Aufgabe der Erfindung ist eine Vorrichtung zur selbständigen Fortbewegung I von Rollstuhlfahrern mittels Muskelkraft der eigenen Beine, trotz evtl. \ vorliegender Lähmungssymptomatik. The object of the invention is a device for the independent movement of wheelchair users by means of the muscle power of their own legs, despite possible paralysis symptoms.
>j' Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine neue, einem Rollstuhl ähnliche Vori richtung mit funktionell integriertem Tretsystem, das bei entsprer*jnder X Tretbetätigung mittels der eigenen Beine den Rollstuhlfahrer selbst f->rt- |. bewegt.>j' This task is solved by a new device similar to a wheelchair with a functionally integrated pedal system, which moves the wheelchair user forwards by means of the user's own legs when the pedal is actuated accordingly.
I Die Besonderheit des Tretsystems beruht auf einem Zweikreissystem, wobei s jedes von beiden Pedalen je ein zugeordnetes Rad antreibt und beide Pedale I, gleichzeitig oder abwechselnd betätigbar sind, so daß abhängig von der Kraft 1 bzw. Koordinationsfähigkeit des Fahrers das Drehmoment optimal gestaltet wer-I den kann.I The special feature of the pedal system is based on a two-circuit system, whereby each of the two pedals drives an associated wheel and both pedals can be operated simultaneously or alternately, so that the torque can be optimally designed depending on the strength or coordination ability of the driver.
I Ferner ist die Vorrichtung mit einem Lenksystem ähnlich dem eines Fahrrads I ausgestattet, an dessen Handgriffen je 1 Druckschalter zur elektronischen I Muskelsteuerung per Daumendruck angebracht sind. Ferner sind die Handgriffe I als axial drehbare Intensitätsregler für die Feindosierung der Stromzufuhr zu I den Muskeln ausgebildet.I Furthermore, the device is equipped with a steering system similar to that of a bicycle I with one push button on each handle for electronic I muscle control by pressing the thumb. Furthermore, the handles I are designed as axially rotatable intensity regulators for the fine dosing of the current supply to I the muscles.
I Die Sitzfläche des Fahrers liegt in horizontaler Ebene mit den Pedalen, um \ den vollen Gegendruck beim Treten mit der Sitzlehne hinter dem Rücken abfangen \ zu können.I The driver's seat is in a horizontal plane with the pedals in order to be able to absorb the full counter pressure when pedaling with the seat back behind the back.
\ Zur richtungsstabilen Kraftübertragung auf die Pedale sind diese mit w\nkel-I stabilen Bein-und Fußstützschienen sowie mit Spanngurten versehen \ To ensure directionally stable power transmission to the pedals, they are equipped with angle-stable leg and footrest rails as well as tensioning straps
In Kombination mit einem angebauten Muskelstimulator kann der Tretdruck der Beinmuskulatur durch dosierte Stroraimpulse erhöht und somit die Fahrleistung verbessert werden.In combination with an attached muscle stimulator, the pedal pressure of the leg muscles can be increased through dosed stroke impulses and thus the riding performance can be improved.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Eezug-
: nähme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert.

The pedaling movement from position (pl) to position (p2) pulls the force transmitter (f) in such a way that a rotation is generated on the axle (g) and transmitted to the drive wheel (a). The return spring (o) returns the pedal system (d) and the pedaling leg to the starting position (pl).
