Elle concerne plus particulièrement un appareil du type susmentionné comportant au moins un socle inclinable un plateau tournant logé de manière rotative, dans ledit socle et muni de rainures parallèles équidistantes l'une de l'autre ainsi qu'un frein réglable, lesdites rainures présentant de préférence un profilé du type en queue- d'aronde et étant destinées à recevoir des moyens de fixation correspondants d'accessoires.It relates more particularly to an apparatus of the aforementioned type comprising at least one tilting base, a turntable housed in a rotary manner, in said base and provided with parallel grooves equidistant from each other as well as an adjustable brake, said grooves having preferably a profile of the dovetail type and being intended to receive corresponding attachment means for accessories.
Selon la présente invention, l'appareil peut être monté horizontalement ou de manière inclinée par rapport à un plan horizontal, sur le sol ou sur une table; il peut également être monté verticalement ou de manière inclinée par rapport à un plan vertical, sur un espalier ou une paroi ou structure verticale.According to the present invention, the apparatus can be mounted horizontally or inclined to a horizontal plane, on the floor or on a table; it can also be mounted vertically or at an angle to a vertical plane, on a wall or a vertical wall or structure.
Le frein réglable en fonction de l'effort que l'on veut voir fournir par l'utilisateur peut être réglé manuellement notamment par rotation d'une tige filetée qui comprime un ressort dont la force de pression appli¬ que des patins plus au moins fort sur l'axe de rotation du plateau. Selon une forme d'exécution avantageuse de l'in¬ vention, le frein peut être du type électromagnétique agissant sur un disque coaxial avec le plateau et soli¬ daire de celui-ci. Dans ce cas, la force de freinage est avantageusement commandée électroniquement. Grâce à l'utilisation d'une série d'accessoires destinés à être fixés rigidement sur le plateau, on peut prévoir un grand nombre d'exercices de rééducation pro¬ prioceptive et/ou d'entraînement physique. Â titre non limitatif, on peut par exemple citer les accessoires suivants :The adjustable brake as a function of the force which it is desired to provide by the user can be adjusted manually, in particular by rotation of a threaded rod which compresses a spring, the pressure force of which applies to pads of varying strength. on the axis of rotation of the plate. According to an advantageous embodiment of the in¬ vention, the brake can be of the electromagnetic type acting on a coaxial disc with the plate and soli¬ daire thereof. In this case, the braking force is advantageously electronically controlled. Thanks to the use of a series of accessories intended to be rigidly fixed on the plate, a large number of pro¬ prioceptive rehabilitation and / or physical training exercises can be provided. No limiting, we can for example quote the following accessories:
- une poignée parallèle au plateau qui selon son emplacement permet une multitude de mouvements rééducatifs ou de musculation des membres supérieurs et du troncy '- a handle parallel to the plate which, depending on its location, allows a multitude of rehabilitation or bodybuilding movements of the upper limbs and the trunk
- une poignée perpendiculaire au plateau munie d'un manchon libre en rotation, qui permet des exercices des membres supérieurs; - une sphère pivotant sur un axe perpendiculaire au pla¬ teau ou fixe permet d'encore élargir les possibilités d'exercices au niveau de la .main et du poignet;- a handle perpendicular to the plate provided with a free rotating sleeve, which allows exercises of the upper limbs; - A sphere pivoting on an axis perpendicular to the plate or fixed allows to further expand the possibilities of exercises at the level of the hand and the wrist;
- des sangles permettant de fixer certaines parties du corps; - des moyens de fixation d'un tabouret sur le plateau afin de travailler plus spécifiquement les muscles du tronc;- straps to fix certain parts of the body; - means for fixing a stool on the tray in order to work more specifically on the trunk muscles;
- des dipositifs de fixation et/ou de sustentation du talon et/ou du pied sur le plateau, permettant des exercices de flexion et extension de chevilles;- devices for fixing and / or supporting the heel and / or foot on the platform, allowing flexion and ankle extension exercises;
- un dispositif de rallonge destiné à fixer la partie distale des membres hors du plateau, la racine de ceux-ci se trouvant au niveau de l'axe centrale dudit plateau; avantageusement, ledit dispositif de rallon- ge permet également la fixation d'accessoires tels que ceux qui sont cités;- an extension device intended to fix the distal part of the members outside the plate, the root of these being at the level of the central axis of said plate; advantageously, said extension device also allows the attachment of accessories such as those mentioned;
- au moins un axe de pédale portant une plaque montée elle-même sur rotule ou sur un axe et pouvant recevoir un équipement ou un pédalier. - deux tétons soudés chacun sur une plaque de base permettant de monter un plateau de freeman.- At least one pedal axle carrying a plate itself mounted on a ball joint or on an axle and capable of receiving equipment or a pedal unit. - two nipples welded each on a base plate allowing to mount a freeman plate.
Des combinaisons des accessoires précités sont également possibles et les accessoires peuvent être fixés par vissage, serrage, clips ou autre moyen équivalent.Combinations of the aforementioned accessories are also possible and the accessories can be fixed by screwing, tightening, clips or other equivalent means.
Le frein réglable peut augmenter progressivement la résistance à la rotation du plateau afin de demander à l'utilisateur une plus grande puissance d'exécution des divers mouvements ou bien bloquer le mouvement de rotation du plateau, pour certaines positions angulaires limites. II est bien, évident que d'autres dispositifs de freinage peuvent être prévus qui agissent éventuellement sur des mouvements linéaires d'accessoires dans les rai¬ nures du plateau.The adjustable brake can gradually increase the resistance to rotation of the plate in order to request to the user greater power of execution of the various movements or else block the rotational movement of the plate, for certain limiting angular positions. It is indeed obvious that other braking devices can be provided which possibly act on linear movements of accessories in the rai¬ nures of the plate.
Selon une forme d'exécution particulièrement pré- férée de la présente invention, le plateau tel que dé¬ crit ci-dessus est asservi par exemple par un disposi¬ tif de commande programmable par exemple du type à mi¬ cro-processeur ou tout autre moyen équivalent, qui peut commander l'action du frein selon un cycle êventuelle- ment répétitif prédéterminé. Dans ce cas, le plateau est encore munis de sondes qui permettent de déceler la po¬ sition angulaire du plateau, la vitesse de rotation de celui-ci ainsi qu'éventuellement le nombre de mouvements effectués. Un affichage et/ou un enregistrement des exerci¬ ces effectués est possible selon l'invention, de même qu'il est possible d'afficher au début de l'exercice, le type de mouvements à effectuer et le nombre de ceux-ci pour un patient déterminé et une préparation spécifique d'un athlète ou d'un sportif.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plate as described above is controlled for example by a programmable control device for example of the microprocessor type or any other equivalent means, which can control the action of the brake according to a possibly repetitive predetermined cycle. In this case, the plate is still provided with probes which make it possible to detect the angular position of the plate, the speed of rotation of the latter as well as possibly the number of movements carried out. A display and / or a recording of the exercises carried out is possible according to the invention, just as it is possible to display at the start of the exercise, the type of movements to be carried out and the number of these for a specific patient and specific preparation for an athlete or sportsperson.

En référence aux figures 1 et 2, l'appareil de rêéduction proprioceptive et/ou d'entraînement physique 1 comporte un socle 3, un plateau 5 et un frein 7. Dans la forme d'exécution représentée à la figure 2, le socle" 3 est incliné par rapport au plan horizontal 9. Le pla¬ teau 5 est muni de rainures 11 parallèles présentant un profilé en forme de T renversé. Selon la figure 2, le frein 7 p'eut être actionné manuellement au moyen du vo- lant 13 solidaire d'une tige filetée 15 qui comprime un ressort dont la force applique des patins 17 contre l'axe de rotation du plateau.With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the proprioceptive reeduction and / or physical training apparatus 1 comprises a base 3, a plate 5 and a brake 7. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the base " 3 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane 9. the pla¬ cake 5 is provided with parallel grooves 11 having a section in shape of an inverted T. According to Figure 2, the brake 7 p 'had to be manually actuated by means of vo- lant 13 secured to a threaded rod 15 which compresses a spring whose force applies pads 17 against the axis of rotation of the plate.
La figure 3 est relative à une autre forme d'exé¬ cution de 1'appareil selon 1'invention qui fait appel à un frein 7 électromagnétique connu en soi. Le plateau 5 muni de ses rainures 11 est solidarisé à son arbre de rotation 21 moyennant une bride 23 et des vis 24. Ledit arbre 21 est logé de manière rotative dans le socle 3 par l'intermédiaire de roulements classiques adéquats 25. Le frein électromagnétique solidaire du socle agit sur la bride 23 pour freiner ou même bloquer la rotation de celle-ci et donc du plateau 5. De manière classique, le frein électromagnétique 7 est concentrique vis-à-vis de l'axe de rotation du plateau 5 et est intégré dans le socle en y étant fixé par deux anneaux 27 et 29 assem¬ blés de part et d'autre de celui-ci.Figure 3 relates to another form of execution of the device according to the invention which uses an electromagnetic brake 7 known per se. The plate 5 provided with its grooves 11 is secured to its rotation shaft 21 by means of a flange 23 and screws 24. Said shaft 21 is rotatably housed in the base 3 by means of suitable conventional bearings 25. The electromagnetic brake integral with the base acts on the flange 23 to brake or even block the rotation of the latter and therefore of the plate 5. Conventionally, the electromagnetic brake 7 is concentric with respect to the axis of rotation of the plate 5 and is integrated into the base by being fixed there by two rings 27 and 29 assembled on either side of it.

Ce cadre de suspension est muni d'au moins deux paires de crochetsAs already mentioned, the base 3 can be positioned at various inclinations. According to one embodiment, the base 3 is articulated on a base 45 and can be held in position relative to the latter by means of a system of rods or telescopic rods 45 ′ comprising stop lugs 45 " for a few determined positions. As a variant, the device 1 can be suspended from a wall bar 46 (FIG. 13), by a suitable suspension frame 47 which comprises, in addition to an upper hooking device 49, a device for adjustable bottom hook 49 'This suspension frame is provided with at least two pairs of hooks
48 dans lesquels vient s'ancrer l'embase munie de tétons d'accrochage de l'appareil 1. Le tout peut être réglé en hauteur selon les besoins.48 in which is anchored the base provided with nipples for attaching the device 1. The whole can be adjusted in height as required.
Il est particulièrement préféré d'associer un dispositif de commande programmable ou à microprocesseur à l'appareil selon l'invention. Un tel dispositif peut être commandé et programmé au ."noyen d'un tableau d'affi¬ chage 50 tel que représenté à la figure 14.It is particularly preferred to associate a programmable control device or a microprocessor with the device according to the invention. Such a device can be controlled and programmed using the "core of a display panel 50 as shown in FIG. 14.
Dans ce cas, on peut prévoir bon nombre de fonc- tions telles que décrite ci-dessous.In this case, a number of functions can be provided as described below.
Le tableau d'afffichage 50 comporte avantageuse¬ ment trois afficheurs connus en soi comportant trois unités chacun. Les afficheurs 51 et 52 indiquent dans chaque sens le nombre de tours ou de fractions de tour qui reste à faire. L'afficheur 53 permet l'introductionThe display panel 50 advantageously comprises three displays known per se comprising three units each. The displays 51 and 52 indicate in each direction the number of turns or fractional turns that remains to be done. The display 53 allows the introduction
-des données, l'affichage de l'amplitude du mouvement à parcourir dans chaque sens, l'affichage du nombre de tours qui reste à faire -dans le cas de tours complets dans un seul sens- et de la vitesse de rotation. Un cla¬ vier 16 touches 54 permet 1 ' introduction des données par le kinésithérapeute par exemple. Les potentiomètres 55 et 56 permettent de régler le couple de freinage, dans chaque sens. On peut encore prévoir d'autres moyens classiques tels que des signaux sonores ou lumineux 57, 58 en vue de signaler la fin de l'exercice.-data, display of the amplitude of the movement to be traversed in each direction, display of the number of revolutions that remain to be made - in the case of complete revolutions in one direction - and of the speed of rotation. A 16-key keyboard 54 allows data to be entered by the physiotherapist, for example. The potentiometers 55 and 56 make it possible to adjust the braking torque, in each direction. We can also provide other conventional means such as sound or light signals 57, 58 to signal the end of the exercise.
Il est également possible de faire varier le cou¬ ple de freinage au cours d'un même cycle ou au cours de l'exercice complet, moyennant une programmation adéqua- te.It is also possible to vary the braking torque during the same cycle or during the full exercise, with adequate programming.
Dans le cas d'une forme d'exécution telle que dé¬ crite, le plateau doit bien entendu être équipé de son¬ des diverses .tels que des sondes pour la mesure de la vitesse de rotation, des sondes de positionnement ... etc.In the case of an embodiment as described, the plate must of course be equipped with various son¬. Such as probes for measuring the speed of rotation, positioning probes, etc. .
Il est donc possible, à partir d'un point zéro déterminé de: programmer un nombre de mouvements angulai¬ res par exemple (amplitude, vitesse, nombre) avec un ef¬ fort de frainage constant ou variable au cours du mouve- ment.It is therefore possible, starting from a determined zero point to: program a number of angular movements for example (amplitude, speed, number) with a constant or variable amount of grinding during the movement.
Les données formées par les sondes peuvent aussi être enregistrées et mémorisées dans un ordinateur qui permet au kinésithérapeute de suivre les progrès du pa¬ tient. L'appareil de l'invention permet un grand nombre d'exercices différents et est peu encombrant. Il peut être notamment utilisé par un kinésithérapeute au chevet ou au domicile des patients. Il est adaptable à la condition physique de l'utilisateur et permet à celui-ci d'améliorer rapidement cette condition physique par des exercices progressifs facilement programmables. The data formed by the probes can also be recorded and memorized in a computer which allows the physiotherapist to follow the progress of the patient. The apparatus of the invention allows a large number of different exercises and is compact. It can be used in particular by a physiotherapist at the bedside or in patients' homes. It is adaptable to the physical condition of the user and allows the user to rapidly improve this physical condition through progressive exercises that are easily programmable.
