Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un appareil de rééducation pour des patients atteints d'un blocage du bassin, notamment pour des hémiplégiques.The present invention relates to a rehabilitation device for patients with a blockage of the pelvis, in particular for hemiplegics.

On sait que les personnes atteintes d'hémiplégie conservent, à l'issue de la consolidation de la maladie, des séquelles à vie dont l'une des plus graves est le blocage du bassin qui entrave les mouvements des membres inférieurs, en particulier lors de la marche. Ces blocages du bassin se retrouvent d'ailleurs chez d'autres patients, par exemple à la suite d'une fracture de la hanche ou de l'implantation d'une prothèse fémorale.We know that people with hemiplegia maintain, after the consolidation of the disease, lifelong sequelae, one of the most serious of which is the blockage of the pelvis which hinders the movements of the lower limbs, in particular during walking. These blockages of the pelvis are also found in other patients, for example following a hip fracture or the implantation of a femoral prosthesis.

Pour éliminer ce problème, le patient doit suivre des séances de rééducation poussée dans des centres spécialisés, afin que son bassin récupère sa mobilité. Mais après cette phase de récupération, le patient doit, toute sa vie, entretenir régulièrement la mobilité de son bassin pour ne pas régresser.To eliminate this problem, the patient must undergo advanced rehabilitation sessions in specialized centers, so that his pelvis recovers its mobility. But after this recovery phase, the patient must, throughout his life, regularly maintain the mobility of his pelvis so as not to regress.

Toutefois, cette phase d'entretien, qui est assurée, en cabinet, par les masseurs-kinésithérapeutes, est presque entièrement à la charge du patient et il n'existe pas à l'heure actuelle d'appareils de rééducation qui permettraient aux patients d'entretenir, à domicile et à peu de frais, la mobilité de leur bassin postérieurement aux séances de rééducation.However, this maintenance phase, which is carried out in the office by masseurs-physiotherapists, is almost entirely the responsibility of the patient and there are currently no rehabilitation devices that would allow patients to '' maintain, at home and inexpensively, the mobility of their pelvis after the rehabilitation sessions.

La présente invention se propose de remédier à cette lacune et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet un appareil de rééducation qui se présente sous la forme d'un fauteuil comprenant une assise et un dossier portés tous deux par une structure de support destinée à reposer sur le sol, l'assise étant montée sur la structure de support de façon à pouvoir pivoter sur elle-même autour d'un axe de rotation central, tandis que le dossier est fixe. L'axe de rotation de l'assise du fauteuil est de préférence vertical.The present invention proposes to remedy this shortcoming and, to do this, it relates to a rehabilitation device which is in the form of an armchair comprising a seat and a backrest both carried by a support structure intended for rest on the ground, the seat being mounted on the support structure so that it can pivot on itself around a central axis of rotation, while the backrest is fixed. The axis of rotation of the seat of the chair is preferably vertical.

Avantageusement, la structure de support et l'assise portent respectivement des butées qui coopèrent entre elles pour limiter la plage de pivotement de l'assise.Advantageously, the support structure and the seat respectively carry stops which cooperate with each other to limit the range of pivoting of the seat.

Grâce à ce fauteuil, tout patient victime d'un blocage du bassin, en particulier à la suite d'une hémiplégie, pourra, à peu de frais, s'entretenir à domicile après récupération de la mobilité de son bassin et même, préalablement à cela, compléter par lui-même sa rééducation entre les séances spécialisées de kinésithérapie.Thanks to this chair, any patient suffering from a blockage of the pelvis, in particular following a hemiplegia, will be able, at low cost, to speak at home after recovery of the mobility of his pelvis and even, before that, to complete by itself its rehabilitation between the specialized sessions of physiotherapy.

Pour ce faire, il lui suffira, après s'être installé ou s'être fait installer sur l'assise du fauteuil, de passer les bras derrière le dossier fixe pour bloquer ses épaules et donc immobiliser tout le tronc, puis de faire pivoter l'assise sur elle-même, d'un côté et de l'autre, en exerçant une poussée à l'aide de ses pieds. De la sorte, le bassin tournera en permanence dans un sens et dans l'autre par rapport au tronc fixe, ce qui l'empêchera de s'ankyloser si cette séance d'entretien est répétée à intervalles de temps réguliers.To do this, it will be enough for him, after having installed himself or having been installed on the seat of the armchair, to pass his arms behind the fixed backrest to block his shoulders and therefore immobilize the entire trunk, then rotate the seat on itself, on one side and the other, by pushing with his feet. In this way, the pelvis will continuously rotate in one direction and in the other with respect to the fixed trunk, which will prevent it from becoming ankylosed if this maintenance session is repeated at regular time intervals.

Il sera en outre préférable que la position de butées de limitation de la plage de pivotement de l'assise puisse être modifièe pour que le patient puisse, à son gré, régler, et notamment augmenter par pas, l'amplitude de cette plage de pivotement au cours de la phase d'entretien.It will moreover be preferable that the position of stops limiting the pivoting range of the seat can be modified so that the patient can, at his discretion, adjust, and in particular increase by steps, the amplitude of this pivoting range during the maintenance phase.

Pour favoriser le blocage des épaules, le fauteuil comprend avantageusement, au voisinage du dossier, au moins un organe de préhension susceptible d'être pris en main par le patient installé sur l'assise, cet organe de préhension étant de préférence constitué par une rampe qui s'étend au moins en partie en arrière du dossier à proximité de la base de ce dernier. Cette rampe pourra revenir latéralement vers l'avant pour certains malades qui seraient incapables de passer les épaules derrière le dossier.To promote blocking of the shoulders, the chair advantageously comprises, in the vicinity of the backrest, at least one gripping member capable of being taken in hand by the patient installed on the seat, this gripping member preferably being constituted by a ramp which extends at least partially behind the backrest near the base of the latter. This ramp may return laterally forward for certain patients who would be unable to pass their shoulders behind the backrest.

Bien entendu, l'assise et/ou le dossier et/ou la rampe seront réglables en hauteur pour permettre d'adapter le fauteuil aux différentes tailles des patients.Of course, the seat and / or the backrest and / or the ramp will be adjustable in height to allow the chair to be adapted to the different patient sizes.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'appareil de rééducation selon l'invention, celui-ci comprend en outre des patins d'appui pour les pieds du patient, situés à proximité de la base et à l'avant du fauteuil, ces patins étant munis de moyens d'immobilisation des pieds, incluant de préférence des sangles de serrage. Le patient disposera de la sorte de points d'appui stables lors de la poussée qu'il exercera avec ses pieds en vue de mettre en rotation l'assise. Il pourra également pour ce faire s'aider de ses mains agrippées à la rampe.According to another characteristic of the rehabilitation device according to the invention, it further comprises support pads for the feet of the patient, located near the base and at the front of the chair, these pads being provided means for immobilizing the feet, preferably including tightening straps. The patient will have some sort of stable support points during the push that he will exert with his feet in order to rotate the seat. He can also do this with his hands clinging to the ramp.

Avantageusement, les patins sont orientables autour d'un axe sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de rotation de l'assise et sont associès à des moyens permettant de les immobiliser dans une poisition angulaire choisie, cette disposition ayant pour but d'orienter convenablement les pieds pour faire également travailler les chevilles lors de la rotation de l'assise.Advantageously, the pads are orientable around an axis substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the seat and are associated with means making it possible to immobilize them in a chosen angular position, this arrangement having the aim of orienting the feet properly to also make the ankles work during the rotation of the seat.

En outre, les patins sont montés à coulissement longitudinal dans la direction avant-arrière du fauteuil, et sont associés à des moyens permettant de les immobiliser dans la position longitudinale choisie. Il s'agit bien entendu d'une disposition supplémentaire qui permet là encore d'adapter le fauteuil aux dimensions des jambes du patient. Mais en plus, en laissant coulisser librement les patins et en immobilisant l'assise, le patient disposera d'un second appareil grâce auquel il pourra déplacer d'avant en arrière ses pieds pour, dans le cadre de sa rééducation, faire travailler les articulations de ses genoux.In addition, the pads are mounted to slide longitudinally in the front-rear direction of the chair, and are associated with means making it possible to immobilize them in the chosen longitudinal position. This is of course an additional arrangement which again allows the chair to be adapted to the dimensions of the patient's legs. But in addition, by letting it slide freely the skates and by immobilizing the seat, the patient will have a second device with which he can move his feet back and forth to, as part of his rehabilitation, work the joints of his knees.

De surcroît, les patins sont avantageusement montés à pivotement autour d'un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire à leurs axes de rotation et sont associés à des moyens aptes à les incliner par pivotement autour de cet axe.In addition, the pads are advantageously mounted to pivot about an axis substantially perpendicular to their axes of rotation and are associated with means capable of tilting them by pivoting about this axis.

De préférence, lesdits moyens d'inclinaison sont constitués par des vérins qui forment les pieds avant du fauteuil, à l'extrémité avant d'un prolongement de la structure de support, lequel est monté à pivotement autour dudit axe, sur ladite structure de support et porte les patins d'appui.Preferably, said tilting means are constituted by jacks which form the front legs of the chair, at the front end of an extension of the support structure, which is pivotally mounted around said axis, on said support structure. and wears the support pads.

Comme on le comprendra aisément, en inclinant les patins vers l'arrière au moyen des vérins, le patient pourra exercer une meilleure poussée à l'aide de ses pieds en vue de faire tourner l'assise.As will be easily understood, by tilting the pads backwards by means of the jacks, the patient will be able to exert a better thrust using his feet in order to rotate the seat.

Dans le même esprit, le fauteuil selon l'invention comprend, en tant qu'accessoire, un coussin présentant une face supérieure inclinée, ce coussin étant dimensionné pour pouvoir être mis en place sur de l'assise de telle manière que sa face supérieure soit inclinée latéralement. Ce soussin presente plus précisément une utilité pour les patients hémiplégiques en assurant un meilleur appui à leur fesse malade.In the same spirit, the armchair according to the invention comprises, as an accessory, a cushion having an inclined upper face, this cushion being dimensioned so that it can be placed on the seat in such a way that its upper face is laterally tilted. This subspecies presents more specifically a utility for hemiplegic patients by ensuring a better support to their sick buttock.

En variante à l'utilisation de ce coussin, on peut aussi prévoir que l'assise soit inclinable autour d'un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire à son axe de rotation central et s'étendant dans la direction avant-arrière du fauteuil.As an alternative to the use of this cushion, provision can also be made for the seat to be tiltable about an axis substantially perpendicular to its central axis of rotation and extending in the front-rear direction of the chair.

Un mode de réalisation de l'appareil de rééducation conforme à la présente invention va maintenant être décrit plus en détails, mais uniquement à titre d'exemple non-limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • . la figure 1 est une vue de face de l'appareil conforme a ce mode de réalisation de l'invention;
  • . la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de ce même appareil ;
  • . la figure 3 en est une vue latérale ; et
  • . la figure 4 est une vue arrière de l'appareil visible sur les figures précédentes.
An embodiment of the rehabilitation apparatus in accordance with the present invention will now be described in more detail, but only by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • . Figure 1 is a front view of the apparatus according to this embodiment of the invention;
  • . Figure 2 is a top view of the same device;
  • . Figure 3 is a side view; and
  • . Figure 4 is a rear view of the device visible in the previous figures.

En se reportant simultanément aux quatre figures, on peut voir que l'appareil de rééducation exemplifié présente la forme d'un fauteuil qui comprend une assise 1 et un dossier 2, montés sur une structure de support métallique 3 présentant une base élargie 4 par laquelle le fauteuil s'appuie sur le sol. L'assise 1 et le dossier 2 sont tous deux constitués par des matelassures en mousse solidaires chacune d'une plaque rigide 1a ou 2a par laquelle elles sont montées sur la structure de support 3. Par ailleurs, l'assise 1 s'étend dans un plan sensiblement horizontal et le dossier 2 dans un plan sensiblement vertical, perpendiculaire à l'axe avant-arrière A du fauteuil.Referring simultaneously to the four figures, it can be seen that the exemplary rehabilitation apparatus has the form of an armchair which comprises a seat 1 and a backrest 2, mounted on a metal support structure 3 having an enlarged base 4 through which the chair rests on the floor. Seat 1 and backrest 2 are both made of padded foam each secured to a rigid plate 1a or 2a by which they are mounted on the support structure 3. Furthermore, the seat 1 extends in a substantially horizontal plane and the backrest 2 in a substantially vertical plane, perpendicular to the front-rear axis A of the chair.

Comme le montre la figure 2, la base 4 de la structure de support 3 se présente sous la forme d'un croisillon horizontal 5, dont les deux branches 5a, 5b sont réunies, d'un côté, par une traverse arrière 6 et, de l'autre, par une traverse avant 7, ces deux traverses étant parallèles entre elles et sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'axe avant-arrière A du fauteuil. Aux points de jonction entre les branches 5a, 5b du croisillon 5 et les traverses avant et arrière 6, 7, sont montés quatre pieds 8 par lesquels la structure de support 3 s'appuie sur le sol. Les pieds 8 sont constitués par des vérins à vis sur lesquels la structure de support 3 repose par l'intermédiaire d'articulations à rotule non visibles sur les figures.As shown in FIG. 2, the base 4 of the support structure 3 is in the form of a horizontal spider 5, the two branches 5a, 5b of which are joined, on one side, by a rear cross member 6 and, on the other, by a front cross member 7, these two cross members being parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the front-rear axis A of the chair. At the junction points between the branches 5a, 5b of the spider 5 and the front and rear crosspieces 6, 7, four legs 8 are mounted by which the support structure 3 rests on the ground. The feet 8 are constituted by screw jacks on which the support structure 3 rests by means of ball joints not visible in the figures.

En se reportant simultanément aux figures 2 et 4, on peut encore voir que, sur la traverse arrière 6 susmentionnée, se dressent, à faible distance l'un de l'autre, deux montants verticaux parallèles 9, 10, au sommet desquels le dossier 2 est monté fixe. Pour ce montage, la plaque rigide 2a de ce dernier porte en son centre une plaquette métallique 11 sur laquelle sont soudées deux douilles 12, 13, chacune d'elles étant engagée à coulissement sur un montant respectif 9 ou 10 et immobilisée sur ce dernier par une vis de réglage de position 14 ou 15.Referring simultaneously to FIGS. 2 and 4, it can still be seen that, on the aforementioned rear crossmember 6, stand up, at a short distance from each other, two parallel vertical uprights 9, 10, at the top of which the backrest 2 is mounted fixed. For this mounting, the rigid plate 2a of the latter carries in its center a metal plate 11 on which are welded two sockets 12, 13, each of which is slidably engaged on a respective amount 9 or 10 and immobilized on the latter by a position adjustment screw 14 or 15.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, une rampe de préhension sensiblement horizontale 16 s'étend juste en dessous et en arrière du dossier 2, dans un plan sensiblement parallèle aux montants 9, 10 auxquels elle vient se rattacher, de la même façon que le dossier, par deux douilles coulissantes 17, 18, soudées à l'extrémité de bras de liaison respectifs 19 de la rampe 16 et munies elles aussi de vis de réglage de position 20, 21. Il est à noter encore que la rampe 16 s'étend sur une bonne distance au-delà des deux extrémités latérales 2b, 2c du dossier 2.According to another characteristic of the invention, a substantially horizontal gripping ramp 16 extends just below and behind the backrest 2, in a plane substantially parallel to the uprights 9, 10 to which it is attached, in the same way as the backrest, by two sliding sleeves 17, 18, welded to the end of respective link arms 19 of the ramp 16 and also provided with position adjustment screws 20, 21. It should also be noted that the ramp 16 s extends over a good distance beyond the two lateral ends 2b, 2c of the backrest 2.

Sur la partie centrale de la base 4 du fauteuil,là où ses deux branches 5a et 5b se croisent, se dresse une colonne verticale creuse 22 de section circulaire dans laquelle est engagée sans jeu une tige 23 qui supporte en son centre l'assise 1, en étant fixée sous la plaque rigide 1a de cette dernière. Une entretoise en forme de U 24 est en outre soudée entre la colonne creuse 22 et les deux montants arrière 9, 10 pour rigidifier l'ensemble de support de l'assise.On the central part of the base 4 of the chair, where its two branches 5a and 5b intersect, stands a hollow vertical column 22 of circular section in which is engaged without play a rod 23 which supports in its center the seat 1 , by being fixed under the rigid plate 1a of the latter. A U-shaped spacer 24 is also welded between the hollow column 22 and the two rear uprights 9, 10 to stiffen the seat support assembly.

En revenant à la figure 1, on peut encore observer que la colonne creuse 22 porte à son sommet un collier 25 dont elle est solidaire, ce collier étant muni sur le côté d'une vis de blocage 26 qui peut, en cas de besoin, être introduite par vissage à l'intérieur de la colonne 22 pour venir s'encranter dans la tige 23. Sur sa face frontale, le collier 25 porte en outre deux ergots verticaux 27 dont la position angulaire peut être éventuellement réglée par des moyens non­représentés. Par ailleurs, une bague 28 entoure librement la tige 23 en étant immobilisée sur celle-ci par une vis de serrage 29, cette bague 28 étant positionnée juste au-dessus du collier 25, avec interposition éventuelle d'un roulement. Sur la face frontale de la bague 28, pend un doigt 30 qui vient se placer entre les deux ergots 27 du collier 25.Returning to FIG. 1, it can also be observed that the hollow column 22 carries at its top a collar 25 of which it is integral, this collar being provided on the side with a locking screw 26 which can, if necessary, be introduced by screwing inside the column 22 to come to be anchored in the rod 23. On its front face, the collar 25 further carries two vertical pins 27 whose angular position can be optionally adjusted by means not shown. Furthermore, a ring 28 freely surrounds the rod 23 while being immobilized thereon by a clamping screw 29, this ring 28 being positioned just above the collar 25, with possible interposition of a bearing. On the front face of the ring 28 hangs a finger 30 which is placed between the two pins 27 of the collar 25.

En se reportant simultanément aux figures 2 et 3, on peut voir que la base 4 de la structure de support 3 du fauteuil objet de l'invention, comporte un prolongement 31 dirigé vers l'avant de ce dernier. Ce prolongement 31 se compose de deux barres cylindriques parallèles 32, 33 dont une extrémité est montée à pivotement, par l'intermédaire d'une douille 34, sur la traverse avant 7 de section circulaire de la base 4, les deux barres 32, 33 s'appuyant, par leurs secondes extrémités, sur les deux pieds avant 35 du fauteuil, qui sont eux-aussi constitués par des vérins à vis et à rotules.Referring simultaneously to Figures 2 and 3, it can be seen that the base 4 of the support structure 3 of the chair object of the invention has an extension 31 directed towards the front of the latter. This extension 31 consists of two parallel cylindrical bars 32, 33, one end of which is pivotally mounted, by means of a socket 34, on the front cross member 7 of circular section of the base 4, the two bars 32, 33 based, by their second ends, on the two front legs 35 of the chair, which themselves are also constituted by screw and ball joints.

Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, deux patins métalliques horizontaux 36, 37 sont montés sur les deux barres 32, 33 par l'intermédiaire d'une armature qui se compose essentiellement de deux traverses parallèles 38, 39 réunies à leurs deux extrémités par de longs manchons 40 (voir figure 3) qui sont respectivement montés à coulissement sur les barres 32, 33 et portent chacun une vis de blocage 41. Chaque patin 36 ou 37 est en fait fixé sur une plaque d'orientation 42 ou 43 qui déborde légèrement du patin, sur le côté extérieur de celui-ci, et qui est pour sa part montée à pivotement, autour d'un axe vertical X ou Y (voir figure 1), sur une plaque de soutien 44 ou 45 de mêmes dimensions extérieures, tout en étant appliquée en contact glissant sur cette dernière. Chaque plaque de soutien 44 ou 45 est quant à elle disposée à cheval sur les deux traverses 38, 39 susmentionnées tout en étant montée à coulissement sur ces dernières par des manchons verrouillables 46. On observera encore que chaque plaque d'orientation 42, 43 présente, sur sa partie saillant au-delà du patin correspondant, une fente 47 ayant la forme d'un arc de cercle centré sur l'axe de pivotement X ou Y, fente sur les bords de laquelle est serrée une vis de réglage 48 qui de l'autre côté est solidaire de la plaque de soutien sous-jacente 44 ou 45.According to an essential characteristic of the invention, two horizontal metal pads 36, 37 are mounted on the two bars 32, 33 by means of a frame which essentially consists of two parallel crosspieces 38, 39 joined at their two ends by long sleeves 40 (see FIG. 3) which are respectively mounted to slide on the bars 32, 33 and each carry a locking screw 41. Each shoe 36 or 37 is in fact fixed on an orientation plate 42 or 43 which projects slightly of the pad, on the outer side thereof, and which is for its part pivotally mounted, around a vertical axis X or Y (see FIG. 1), on a support plate 44 or 45 of the same external dimensions , while being applied in sliding contact on the latter. Each support plate 44 or 45 is in turn arranged astride the two crosspieces 38, 39 mentioned above while being slidably mounted on the latter by lockable sleeves 46. It will also be observed that each orientation plate 42, 43 has , on its projecting part beyond the corresponding pad, a slot 47 having the shape of an arc of a circle centered on the pivot axis X or Y, slot on the edges of which is tightened an adjustment screw 48 which on the other side is integral with the underlying support plate 44 or 45.

On va maintenant décrire le mode d'utilisation de l'appareil qui vient d'être décrit par un patient souffrant d'un blocage de la hanche.We will now describe the mode of use of the device which has just been described by a patient suffering from a hip blockage.

En premier lieu, il convient de réaliser sur le fauteuil les différents réglages fonction de la taille du patient et de la nature des mouvements de rééducation recherchés.First of all, the various adjustments should be made on the chair depending on the size of the patient and the nature of the rehabilitation movements sought.

Ces réglages consisteront tout d'abord, à l'aide respectivement des douilles à vis 28, 12 et 13 et 17 et 18, à positionner à la bonne hauteur l'assise 1, le dossier 2 et la rampe de préhension 16. Il faudra aussi bien sûr régler convenablement l'horizontalité du fauteuil dans son ensemble, en jouant sur les vérins à vis constituant les pieds 8, 35.These adjustments will consist first of all, using the screw sockets 28, 12 and 13 and 17 and 18 respectively, to position the seat 1, the backrest 2 and the gripping ramp 16 at the correct height. also of course properly adjust the horizontality of the chair as a whole, by playing on the screw jacks constituting the legs 8, 35.

Un autre réglage important est celui de la plage de pivotement de l'assise 1, que l'on effectue en plaçant dans la position angulaire voulue les ergots 27 du collier 25 de la colonne creuse 22 de support de l'assise. La vis 26 devra en outre être complètement dévissée pour autoriser une rotation libre, autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical Z, de la tige 23 de support de l'assise à l'intérieur de la colonne creuse 22.Another important adjustment is that of the pivoting range of the seat 1, which is carried out by placing the pins 27 of the collar 25 of the hollow column 22 for supporting the seat in the desired angular position. The screw 26 must also be completely unscrewed to allow free rotation, about a substantially vertical axis Z, of the seat support rod 23 inside the hollow column 22.

En ce qui concerne maintenant les patins 36, 37, on pourra, toujours en fonction de la taille du patient, régler leurs positions longitudinale et transversale à l'aide respectivement des manchons à vis 40 et 46. On devra également adapter, en fonction de la nature de la maladie du patient (par exemple hémiplégie du côté droit ou gauche), l'orientation de chacun des patins 36, 37 en faisant tourner la plaque d'orientation 42 ou 43 et en l'immobilisant dans la position angulaire choisie à l'aide de la vis de serrage 48. Enfin, il sera bon d'incliner légèrement vers l'arrière les patins 36, 37 en relevant à l'avant le prolongement 31 de la base 4 de la structure de support 3 du fauteuil à l'aide des vérins à vis 35 constituant les pieds avant de ce dernier.As regards now the pads 36, 37, it will be possible, still depending on the size of the patient, to adjust their longitudinal and transverse positions using the screw sleeves 40 and 46 respectively. We will also have to adapt, depending on the nature of the patient's disease (for example hemiplegia on the right or left side), the orientation of each of the pads 36, 37 by rotating the orientation plate 42 or 43 and immobilizing it in the angular position chosen at using the tightening screw 48. Finally, it will be good to tilt the pads 36, 37 slightly towards the rear, while raising the extension 31 of the base 4 of the support structure 3 of the chair to the front. using screw jacks 35 constituting the front feet of the latter.

Ces différents réglages étant effectués, le patient s'asseoit ou se fait installer sur l'assise 1 du fauteuil en posant ses pieds sur les patins 36, 37, les pieds étant positionnés grâce à des rebords frontaux 49 et latéraux 50 des patins 36, 37 et parfaitement immobilisés sur ceux-ci à l'aide de sangles de serrage 51.These various adjustments being made, the patient sits down or is installed on the seat 1 of the chair by placing his feet on the pads 36, 37, the feet being positioned by means of front and side flanges 49 and 50 of the pads 36, 37 and perfectly immobilized thereon using tightening straps 51.

Installé de la sorte sur le fauteuil, le patient doit passer ses épaules derrière le dossier 2 pour agripper à l'aide de ses mains la rampe de préhension 16. En exerçant une traction sur la rampe 16 à l'aide de ses mains et une poussée sur les patins 36, 37 à l'aide de ses pieds, le patient pourra faire tourner l'assise 1 sur elle-même , dans un sens et dans l'autre, tout en ayant ses épaules bloquées et donc son tronc immobilisé contre le dossier 2. De la sorte, le bassin du patient sera mobilisé efficacement et cette opération d'entretien pourra être répétée à intervalles de temps réguliers. A ce propos, on précisera que la plage de pivotement de l'assise, qui est délimitée par le contact du doigt 30 avec les deux ergots 27 à position variable, devra être de préférence progressivement augmentée sur la durée de la phase d'entretien, par petits pas angulaires de 5° par exemple, pour atteindre une valeur maximale de l'ordre de 45°.Installed in this way on the chair, the patient must pass his shoulders behind the backrest 2 to grab with his hands the ramp gripping 16. By exerting a traction on the ramp 16 using his hands and pushing on the pads 36, 37 using his feet, the patient can rotate the seat 1 on itself, in one way and the other, while having his shoulders locked and therefore his trunk immobilized against the backrest 2. In this way, the patient's pelvis will be mobilized effectively and this maintenance operation can be repeated at regular time intervals. In this regard, it will be specified that the pivoting range of the seat, which is delimited by the contact of the finger 30 with the two lugs 27 in variable position, should preferably be gradually increased over the duration of the maintenance phase, in small angular steps of 5 ° for example, to reach a maximum value of around 45 °.

Il sera bon aussi, pour les hémiplégiques, de mettre à leur disposition un coussin à face supérieure inclinée, pour qu'ils aient un meilleur appui lors du pivotement de l'assise. Ce coussin, qui est désigné par la référence 52, peut être fixé sur l'assise 1 par des moyens non-représentés, de telle manière que sa face supérieure s'incline sur le côté extérieur du fauteuil. Pour être complet, on précisera encore que l'assise 1 pourrait être inclinable sur l'un des côtés extérieurs du fauteuil, selon un angle réglable, afin de faire reposer le malade sur sa fesse héimplégique. Dans ce cas, il n'est bien entendu plus nécessaire d'utiliser un coussin à face supérieure inclinée.It will also be good for hemiplegics to provide them with a cushion with an inclined upper face, so that they have better support when the seat is pivoted. This cushion, which is designated by the reference 52, can be fixed on the seat 1 by means not shown, so that its upper face tilts on the outside of the chair. To be complete, it will also be specified that the seat 1 could be tiltable on one of the outer sides of the chair, at an adjustable angle, in order to make the patient rest on his heiplegia buttock. In this case, it is of course no longer necessary to use a cushion with an inclined upper face.

Une utilisation secondaire du fauteuil selon l'invention est possible. En effet, s'il bloque en rotation l'assise 1 à l'aide de la vis 26 et s'il donne toute liberté de translation aux patins 36, 37, en débloquant les vis 41 des manchons 40, le patient pourra, en faisant avancer et reculer les patins, faire travailler ses genoux et entretenir leur mobilité en flexion.Secondary use of the chair according to the invention is possible. Indeed, if it blocks in rotation the seat 1 using the screw 26 and if it gives any freedom of translation to the pads 36, 37, by unlocking the screws 41 of the sleeves 40, the patient can, by making the skates move forward and back, working their knees and maintaining their mobility in flexion.
