Description

L'invention concerne un appareil de mobilisation pour une articulation du genou ou une articulation coxo-fémorale agencé pour imposer un mouvement de la cuisse par rapport au bas de la jambe d'un patient couché sur le dos.The invention relates to a mobilization apparatus for a knee joint or a hip joint arranged to impose a movement of the thigh relative to the lower leg of a patient lying on the back.

Le but de l'invention est de prescrire un appareil de mobilisation qui rend possible un exercice de l'articulation du genou ou de l'articulation coxo-fémorale chez un patient couché sur le dos, lequel appareil est par ailleurs très simple, aussi bien dans sa conception que dans sa réalisation.The object of the invention is to prescribe a mobilization device which makes it possible to exercise the knee joint or the hip joint in a patient lying on the back, which device is also very simple, as well in its design than in its realization.

A cette fin un appareil de mobilisation suivant l'invention est formé par une plaque de base utilisée horizontalement ou à peu près horizontalement par rapport à laquelle une plaque mobile, sur laquelle repose le bas de la jambe du patient, peut effectuer un mouvement de va-et-vient pour lequel au moins une plaque de liaison forme une liaison articulée entre ladite plaque de base et ladite plaque mobile.To this end, a mobilization device according to the invention is formed by a base plate used horizontally or approximately horizontally with respect to which a movable plate, on which rests the lower leg of the patient, can perform a movement of va and forth for which at least one connection plate forms an articulated connection between said base plate and said movable plate.

Dans une forme de réalisation possible une deuxième plaque de liaison qui est ajustable en hauteur relie de façon articulée le long de ce côté des plaques qui est orienté vers les cuisses du patient, les extrémités de ladite plaque de base et la plaque mobile.In a possible embodiment a second connecting plate which is adjustable in height hingedly connects along this side of the plates which is oriented towards the patient's thighs, the ends of said base plate and the movable plate.

Toujours suivant l'invention la longueur de ladite plaque de base et de ladite plaque de liaison qui le long du côté de la cuisse du patient relie d'une façon articulée ladite plaque de base avec ladite plaque de liaison est ajustable.Still according to the invention, the length of said base plate and of said connection plate which, along the side of the patient's thigh, connects said base plate with said connection plate in an articulated manner.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée des moyens sont prévus pour ramener envers la force de gravitation ladite plaque mobile vers une position qui peut être considérée comme une position de départ.In a preferred embodiment, means are provided for bringing said movable plate towards the gravitational force towards a position which can be considered as a starting position.

Dans la description qui suivra et qui concerne un appareil de mobilisation pour une articulation du genou ou une articula­ tion coxo-fémorale suivant l'invention, d'autres détails et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront. Cette description est donnée à titre d'exem­ple uniquement et ne limite nullement l'invention. Les références concernent les figures ci-jointes.

In the description which follows and which relates to a mobilization apparatus for a knee joint or a joint coxo-femoral tion according to the invention, other details and advantages of the invention will appear. This description is given by way of example only and does not in any way limit the invention. The references relate to the attached figures.
  • Figure 1 is a geometric representation of the mobilization apparatus according to the invention, used as a bending apparatus.
  • FIG. 2 is a geometric representation of the mobilization apparatus according to the invention, used as an extension apparatus.
  • FIG. 3 is a variant of the mobilization apparatus according to FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is another variant of the mobilization apparatus according to FIG. 2.

L'appareil de mobilisation suivant les figures 1 et 2 consiste en une plaque de base 1 et une plaque mobile 2. Entre la plaque de base 1 et la plaque mobile 2 il y a au moins une plaque de liaison 3 qui est ajustable en hauteur et qui comporte des points d'articulation en A par rapport à la plaque mobile 2 et en B par rapport à la plaque de base 1.The mobilization device according to Figures 1 and 2 consists of a base plate 1 and a movable plate 2. Between the base plate 1 and the movable plate 2 there is at least one connecting plate 3 which is adjustable in height and which has articulation points at A relative to the movable plate 2 and at B relative to the base plate 1.

Suivant une première forme de réalisation possible cela peut suffire lorsque seulement une plaque de liaison articulée, notamment la plaque de liaison 3, est intercalée entre la plaque de base 1 et la plaque mobile 2.According to a first possible embodiment, this may suffice when only one articulated connection plate, in particular the connection plate 3, is interposed between the base plate 1 and the movable plate 2.

Suivant les figures 1 et 2 une deuxième plaque de liaison, notamment la plaque de liaison 4, est également montée de façon articulée entre la plaque mobile 2 et la plaque de base 1. Les points d'articulation entre la deuxième plaque de liaison 4 et la plaque mobile 2 se trouvent en C alors que la liaison entre la deuxième plaque de liaison 4 et la plaque de base 1 se trouve en D. La longueur de la plaque de liaison 4 est ajustable. La longueur de la plaque de base 1 est, suivant la figure 1, D-E, alors que la longueur de la plaque mobile 2 est C-F. La longueur de la plaque de liaison 3 est alors A-B et la longueur de la deuxième plaque de liaison, notamment la plaque de liaison 4, est déterminée par C-D.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, a second connection plate, in particular the connection plate 4, is also mounted in an articulated manner between the movable plate 2 and the base plate 1. The points of articulation between the second connection plate 4 and the movable plate 2 is at C while the connection between the second connection plate 4 and the base plate 1 is at D. The length of the connection plate 4 is adjustable. The length of the base plate 1 is, according to FIG. 1, DE, while the length of the movable plate 2 is CF. The length of the connection plate 3 is then AB and the length of the second connection plate, in particular the connection plate 4, is determined by CD.

Aussi bien la longueur de la deuxième plaque de liaison 4, c'est-à-dire la longueur C-D, que celle de la plaque de base 1, peut être modifiée. Au segment D-B de la plaque de base 1 on peut ajouter un segment D′-D, alors qu'à la longueur du segment D-C, on peut ajouter une longueur D′-D˝. Ceci peut se faire en réali­sant les segments D, D′ et D˝ extensibles par rapport à la plaque de base 1, respectivement par rapport à la deuxième plaque de liaison 4.Both the length of the second connecting plate 4, that is to say the length C-D, and that of the base plate 1, can be modified. To the segment D-B of the base plate 1 one can add a segment D′-D, while to the length of the segment D-C, one can add a length D′-D˝. This can be done by making the segments D, D ′ and D˝ extensible with respect to the base plate 1, respectively with respect to the second connecting plate 4.

L'angle α, formé entre la deuxième plaque de liaison 4 et la plaque mobile 2, peut varier entre par exemple 90° et 180°. Dans cette dernière position les segments D-C et C-F de la plaque mobile 4 se trouvent dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre.The angle α, formed between the second connecting plate 4 and the movable plate 2, can vary between for example 90 ° and 180 °. In this latter position, the segments D-C and C-F of the movable plate 4 are located in the extension of one another.

Cette position est illustrée à la figure 2.This position is illustrated in Figure 2.

Lors de l'utilisation de l'appareil le bas de la jambe du patient repose sur la plaque mobile 2 et la cuisse se trouve contre la deuxième plaque de liaison 4. Lorsque cette deuxième plaque de liaison 4 est absente, la cuisse s'étend le long ou à proximité d'une ligne imaginaire D-C.When using the device, the patient's lower leg rests on the movable plate 2 and the thigh is against the second link plate 4. When this second link plate 4 is absent, the thigh extends along or near an imaginary DC line.

Avec le bas de la jambe sur la plaque mobile 2 le patient peut imposer une série de mouvements à son articulation du genou ou à son articulation coxo-fémorale, lesdits mouvements sont lisibles sur les figures 1 et 2. Dans la figure 1 la plaque de liaison 3 est plus longue que la même plaque de liaison dans la figure 2, et l'appareil sert en tant qu'appareil de flexion.With the lower leg on the movable plate 2 the patient can impose a series of movements on his knee joint or on his hip joint, said movements are readable in Figures 1 and 2. In Figure 1 the plate link 3 is longer than the same link plate in Figure 2, and the apparatus serves as a bending apparatus.

Dans la forme de réalisation suivant la figure 2 la plaque de liaison 3 est ici plus courte et des mouvements peuvent être exécutés tels qu'illustrés à la figure 2. L'appareil est ici utilisé en tant qu'appareil d'extension.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the connecting plate 3 is here shorter and movements can be carried out as illustrated in FIG. 2. The device is used here as an extension device.

Dans les deux formes d'exécutions il est possible de prévoir des butoirs qui ne sont pas représentés dans la figure et qui sont agencés pour limiter le mouvement de la plaque mobile 2.In both forms of execution, it is possible to provide stops which are not shown in the figure and which are arranged to limit the movement of the movable plate 2.

Dans les deux variantes aussi bien la deuxième plaque de liaison 4 que la plaque de liaison 3 sont ajustables. Ceci peut être réalisé par des pièces téléscopiques ou extensibles. La lon­gueur de la plaque de base 1 est généralement constante.In both variants, both the second connecting plate 4 and the connecting plate 3 are adjustable. This can be achieved by telescopic or extendable parts. The length of the base plate 1 is generally constant.

Dans la forme de réalisation suivant la figure 3 la longueur de la deuxième plaque de liaison 4 et celle de la plaque de base sont ajustables par une réalisation "pliable" de ces deux parties.In the embodiment according to Figure 3 the length of the second connecting plate 4 and that of the base plate are adjustable by a "foldable" embodiment of these two parts.

Sur la deuxième plaque de liaison 4 il est prévu un point d'articulation G supplémentaire de telle façon que la longueur de la plaque de liaison 4 est augmentée avec la longueur de segment G-D′.On the second connection plate 4 there is provided an additional articulation point G so that the length of the connection plate 4 is increased with the length of segment G-D ′.

Enfin la figure 4 montre une dernière variante où la deuxième plaque de liaison 4 est constituée de deux parties ar­ticulables 4′ et 4˝ et qui comportent un point d'articulation H. Un butoir 5 éventuel limite le mouvement de la plaque de liaison 3. Cette plaque de liaison 3 peut être également réalisée de façon exten­sible ou téléscopique de telle façon que la longueur de celle-ci peut être modifiée. Le point d'articulation B de la plaque de liaison 3 avec la plaque de base 1 peut être déplacé en B′. La position de B′ est libre.Finally, FIG. 4 shows a last variant where the second connecting plate 4 is made up of two articulated parts 4 ′ and 4˝ and which include a hinge point H. A stopper 5, if applicable, limits the movement of the connecting plate 3. This connecting plate 3 can also be made in an extensible or telescopic manner so that the length thereof can be modified. The point of articulation B of the connection plate 3 with the base plate 1 can be moved to B ′. The position of B ′ is free.

A l'aide de ressorts ou de petits câbles auxquels sont suspendus des poids et qui ne sont pas repris dans la figure, il est possible de ramener l'appareil de mobilisation chaque fois vers sa position de départ et ceci envers la force de gravitation, c'est-à-dire en tenant compte du poids de la plaque mobile et des plaques de liaison qui sont reliées à cette dernière ainsi que du poids du bas des jambes du patient qui reposent sur la plaque mobile 2. Le point d'attache des poids est situé, soit à la partie supérieure de la deuxième plaque de liaison 4, soit sur la plaque mobile 2, à proximité du point d'articulation C.With the help of springs or small cables to which weights are suspended and which are not shown in the figure, it is possible to return the mobilization device each time to its starting position and this towards the gravitational force, that is to say, taking into account the weight of the movable plate and the connecting plates which are connected to the latter as well as the weight of the lower legs of the patient which rest on the movable plate 2. The attachment point of weights is located either at the upper part of the second connecting plate 4 or on the movable plate 2, near the point of articulation C.

Des ressorts ou d'autres accessoires qui peuvent être prévus en remplacement ou additionnellement à ces poids, peuvent être calculés de telle façon qu'ils freinent ou stimulent "l'excursion". Comme déjà mentionné auparavant, des butoirs peuvent être prévus en certains endroits pour limiter cette "excursion". Pour la réalisation de cet appareil suivant l'invention plusieurs matériaux peuvent être pris en considération tels que du métal, du bois, des matières synthé­tiques qui naturellement peuvent être très bien entretenues.Springs or other accessories which can be provided as a replacement or in addition to these weights, can be calculated in such a way that they brake or stimulate "excursion". As already mentioned before, bumpers can be provided in certain places to limit this "excursion". For the realization of this apparatus according to the invention several materials can be taken into consideration such as metal, wood, synthetic materials which naturally can be very well maintained.

L'appareil suivant l'invention permet une flexion et une extension de la hanche et du genou et ceci entre au moins 90 et 180°.The apparatus according to the invention allows a flexion and an extension of the hip and the knee and this between at least 90 and 180 °.

Il est également clair que l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits ce-dessus et qu'à ces derniers beaucoup de modifications peuvent être apportées sans pour autant quitter l'étendue de la demande de brevet.It is also clear that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described above and that to the latter many modifications can be made without however departing from the scope of the patent application.

Ainsi il est possible que la deuxième plaque de liaison 4 ne soit pas présente tel qu'il a déjà été décrit dans le préam­bule de cette description. Toutes les modifications des points d'ar­ticulation et des parties en mouvement peuvent être prévues en fonction de l'élaboration future du projet.Thus it is possible that the second connecting plate 4 is not present as has already been described in the preamble to this description. All modifications of the articulation points and the moving parts can be planned according to the future development of the project.
