Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Laufbandeinrichtung mit einem Laufband und einer Halteeinrichtung für den Benutzer, mit deren Hilfe das Körpergewicht des Benutzers teilweise ausgeglichen werden kann.The invention relates to a treadmill device with a treadmill and a holding device for the user, by means of which the body weight of the user can be partially balanced.
Laufbandeinrichtungen werden z.B. zur Körperertüchtigung und zur Rehabilitation bzw. Therapie eingesetzt. Derartige Laufbandeinrichtungen sind z.B. in DE 25 03 118 B2 und DE 42 38 252 C2 beschrieben. Ein endloses, über zwei Rollen umlaufendes Laufband dient dabei als Lauffläche.Treadmill facilities are e.g. used for physical exercise and for rehabilitation or therapy. Such treadmill devices are e.g. described in DE 25 03 118 B2 and DE 42 38 252 C2. An endless treadmill running over two rollers serves as the running surface.
Derartige Laufbandeinrichtungen werden ebenso zu Therapie- bzw. Rehabilitationszwecken eingesetzt. Hierzu werden dann zusätzlich Gurte verwendet, die den Benutzer bzw. Patienten halten und das Körpergewicht teilweise ausgleichen, so daß der Patient sicher auf dem Laufband gehen kann.Such treadmill devices are also used for therapy or rehabilitation purposes. For this purpose, additional belts are used which hold the user or patient and partially balance the body weight so that the patient can walk safely on the treadmill.
Ein Patient kann z.B. mit Hilfe dieser Gurte aus einem Rollstuhl in eine entsprechende Position gebracht werden. Gleichzeitig kann dabei die Gurthaltekraft dieser Halteeinrichtung derart eingestellt werden, daß das Körpergewicht des Patienten bzw. Benutzers zumindest teilweise ausgeglichen wird. Patienten oder Benutzer mit z.B. Rückenverletzungen können auf diese Weise ihre Gehfähigkeit trainieren ohne ihr Körpergewicht tragen zu müssen. Im Laufe der Therapie können dann verschiedene Körpergewichtsbelastungen eingestellt werden.A patient can e.g. can be brought from a wheelchair into a corresponding position with the help of these belts. At the same time, the belt holding force of this holding device can be adjusted such that the body weight of the patient or user is at least partially balanced. Patients or users with e.g. In this way, back injuries can train their ability to walk without having to carry their body weight. Different body weight loads can then be set in the course of the therapy.
Nachteilig an derartigen Laufbandeinrichtungen mit einer solchen Halteeinrichtung ist es, daß das Körpergewicht zu Beginn des Einsatzes der Laufbandeinrichtung am Anfang einer Behandlung einmal ausgeglichen wird bzw. die Körperbelastung eingestellt wird und während der individuellen Behandlung konstant bleibt. Die Höhe, in der der Benutzer gehalten wird, kann sich dann nicht mehr ändern. Beim Gehen bzw. Laufen auf dem Laufband entstehen jedoch Auf- und Abbewegungen des Körpers des Benutzers bzw. Patienten, die durch eine solche Haltevorrichtung nicht ausgeglichen werden, da sie in der Höhe konstant eingestellt ist.A disadvantage of such treadmill devices with such a holding device is that the body weight is balanced at the beginning of the use of the treadmill device at the beginning of a treatment or the body load is adjusted and remains constant during the individual treatment. The height at which the user is held can then no longer change. When walking or running on the treadmill, however, up and down movements of the body of the user or patient occur, which are not compensated for by such a holding device, since its height is set to be constant.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Laufbandeinheit mit einer Halteeinrichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei der das Körpergewicht des Patienten bzw. Benutzers während des Gehens bzw. Laufens trotz der dabei entstehenden Auf- und Abbewegungen konstant ausgeglichen werden kann bzw. die Belastung konstant eingestellt werden kann.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a treadmill unit with a holding device in which the body weight of the patient or user can be constantly balanced or the load constant during walking or running despite the up and down movements that occur can be adjusted.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Laufbandeinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a treadmill device with the features of the characterizing part of
Erfindungsgemäß umfaßt die Halteeinrichtung mindestens eine Trageeinrichtung für individuell hinzufügbare Gewichte, die als Gegengewichte dienen. Diese Gewichte stellen ein frei wählbares aber dann konstantes Gegengewicht dar, das sich durch die Aufund Abbewegung des Patienten oder Benutzers beim Gehen bzw. Laufen nicht verändert. Auf diese Weise wird die Körperentlastung unabhängig von der Bewegung konstant gehalten und die Anwendbarkeit und Wirksamkeit der Laufbandeinrichtung verbessert.According to the invention, the holding device comprises at least one carrying device for individually addable weights which serve as counterweights. These weights represent a freely selectable but then constant counterweight that does not change as the patient or user moves up and down while walking or running. In this way, the body relief is kept constant regardless of the movement and the applicability and effectiveness of the treadmill device is improved.
Vorteilhafterweise wird zusätzlich eine Einrichtung zur sicheren Positionierung des Benutzers vorgesehen. Mit Hilfe einer solchen Einrichtung kann der Patient bzw. Benutzer vor der Behandlung in die richtige Position gebracht werden, bevor sein Körpergewicht mit Hilfe der Gewichte ausgeglichen bzw. teilweise ausgeglichen wird.Advantageously, a device for safe positioning of the user is additionally provided. With the aid of such a device, the patient or user can be brought into the correct position before the treatment, before his body weight is balanced or partially balanced with the aid of the weights.
Eine solche Einrichtung zur sicheren Positionierung kann eine erste Seilzugeinrichtung umfassen, die über mindestens eine erste Umlenkrolle von mindestens einem ersten kranartigen Auslegergestell gehalten wird. Mit Hilfe einer solchen Seilzugvorrichtung und einer entsprechenden Umlenkrolle kann ein Patient sehr einfach und sicher in eine aufrechte Position gebracht werden.Such a device for secure positioning can comprise a first cable pulling device, which is held by at least one first crane-like jib frame via at least one first deflection roller. With the help of such a cable pulling device and a corresponding deflection roller, a patient can be brought into an upright position very easily and safely.
Die Halteeinrichtung, mit deren Hilfe das Körpergewicht des Benutzers zumindest teilweise ausgeglichen werden kann, kann vorteilhafterweise eine zweite Seilzugvorrichtung umfassen, die von mindestens einer zweiten Umlenkrolle an einem zweiten kranartigen Auslegergestell gehalten wird, wobei das Gewicht des Benutzers im Betrieb das eine Ende der Seilzugvorrichtung belastet und die Trageeinrichtung mit den individuell dosierten Gewichten die andere. Eine solche Anordnung gewährleistet einen einfachen Aufbau und gute Bedienbarkeit und Dosierbarkeit der Gewichte.The holding device, with the aid of which the body weight of the user can be at least partially balanced, can advantageously comprise a second cable pulling device which is held by at least one second deflecting roller on a second crane-like jib frame, the weight of the user loading one end of the cable pulling device during operation and the carrying device with the individual dosed weights the other. Such an arrangement ensures simple construction and good operability and meterability of the weights.
Wünschenswert ist es, wenn die ersten und zweiten kranartigen Auslegergestelle von einem einzigen kranartigen Gestell gebildet werden, an dem die ersten und zweiten Umlenkrollen befestigt sind. Auf diese Weise wird ein einfacher Aufbau der Laufbandeinrichtung gewährleistet.It is desirable if the first and second crane-like boom frames are formed by a single crane-like frame to which the first and second deflection rollers are attached. In this way, a simple construction of the treadmill device is ensured.
Einfacherweise umfaßt die Halteeinrichtung eine Verbindungseinrichtung, die einen Brust-, Bauch- oder Sitzgurt umfaßt. Eine solche Verbindungseinrichtung dient dem sicheren Halt des Patienten bzw. Benutzers.The holding device simply comprises a connecting device which comprises a chest, abdominal or seat belt. Such a connecting device serves to securely hold the patient or user.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist eine dritte Umlenkrolle vorgesehen, an der die Verbindungseinrichtung befestigt ist, wobei die Verbindungseinrichtung mit der ersten und zweiten Seilzugeinrichtung verbunden ist und die erste und zweite Seilzugvorrichtung derart miteinander verbunden sind, daß eine Gesamtseilzugverbindung von der Trageeinrichtung der Gegengewichte über die zweite Umlenkrolle, die dritte Umlenkrolle und die erste Umlenkrolle den Benutzer hält.In an advantageous embodiment, a third deflecting roller is provided, to which the connecting device is fastened, the connecting device being connected to the first and second cable pulling devices and the first and second cable pulling devices being connected to one another in such a way that a total cable pull connection from the carrying device of the counterweights via the second deflecting roller , the third pulley and the first pulley holds the user.
Gemäß dieser Ausführungsform wird der Benutzer bzw. Patient mit Hilfe einer flaschenzugartigen Anordnung gehalten. Die Gewichtsausgleichswirkung wird genauer dosierbar und es entsteht aufgrund der über Umlenkrollen geführten Gesamtseilzugverbindung eine erhöhte Federungswirkung, die die Behandlung bzw. Benutzung sowohl angenehmer als auch weniger belastend gestaltet.According to this embodiment, the user or patient is held using a pulley-like arrangement. The weight-balancing effect can be metered more precisely and, due to the total cable connection guided over deflection rollers, there is an increased suspension effect, which makes the treatment or use both more pleasant and less stressful.
Einfacherweise ist die Einrichtung zur sicheren Positionierung mit Hilfe mindestens einer Kurbel betätigbar. Mit Hilfe einer solchen Kurbel kann die erste Seilzugeinrichtung einfach bedient werden.The device for safe positioning can easily be actuated with the aid of at least one crank. With the help of such a crank, the first cable pulling device can be operated easily.
Vorteilhafterweise werden die Gewichte, die als Gegengewichte dienen, mit Hilfe mindestens eines Stecknagels dosierbar ausgestaltet sein, um die Bedienung zu vereinfachen.Advantageously, the weights that serve as counterweights are designed to be meterable with the aid of at least one pin, in order to simplify operation.
Vorteilhafterweise sind alle Merkmale der Halteeinrichtung mit Ausnahme der kranartigen Auslegergestelle paarweise vorgesehen. Eine paarweise Anordnung ermöglicht das individuelle Einstellen der Körperausgleichsgewichte mit verschiedenen Gegengewichten auf den beiden Körperseiten des Patienten bzw. Benutzers. Bestimmte Behandlungsverfahren werden auf diese Weise effektiver durchgeführt oder verbessert.All features of the holding device are advantageously provided in pairs with the exception of the crane-like jib frames. A paired arrangement allows the individual adjustment of the body balance weights with different counterweights on the two sides of the patient or user. In this way, certain treatment procedures are carried out or improved more effectively.

Der Benutzer 2 bewegt sich auf dem Laufband 3, das in den Fig.en als endloses Laufband dargestellt ist. Derartige Laufbänder sind z.B. in DE 25 03 118 B2 und DE 42 38 252 C2 beschrieben und können aus miteinander verkoppelten Trittlamellen bestehen. Der Benutzer 2 wird in dem gezeigten Beispiel von einem Bauchgurt 9 gehalten, der mit dem einen Ende einer ersten Seilzugvorrichtung 10 verbunden ist, deren anderes Ende mit einer Kurbel 11 verbunden ist. Die Seilzugvorrichtung 10 läuft über eine Umlenkrolle 12 an dem kranartigen Auslegergestell 6. Weiterhin ist der Bauchgurt 9 mit dem einen Ende einer zweiten Seilzugvorrichtung 5 verbunden, an deren anderem Ende eine Trageeinrichtung 4 für Gewichte 4a hängt, die individuell hinzuschaltbar oder wegschaltbar sind, wie man das an sich von in Fitnesscentern üblichen Trimmgeräten kennt. Die zweite Seilzugvorrichtung 5 läuft um eine zweite Umlenkrolle 7 an dem kranartigen Auslegergestell 6. Die ersten und zweiten Seilzugvorrichtungen 10, 5, die Trageeinrichtung 4 und die ersten und zweiten Umlenkrollen 12 und 7 sind jeweils paarweise vorgesehen, um eine individuelle Entlastung der beiden Seiten des Patientenkörpers zu ermöglichen. Die Gewichtskraft des Benutzers 2 ist mit dem Pfeil 21 bezeichnet, während die wirkende Kraft der Gegengewichte mit dem Pfeil 20 bezeichnet ist.The
Der Benutzer 2 wird mit Hilfe der Kurbeln 11 und der Seilzugvorrichtungen 10 z.B. aus einem Rollstuhl in die aufrechte Position gebracht. Mit Hilfe eines Stecknagels 4c können Gewichte 4a in der Trageeinrichtung 4 an der zweiten Seilzugvorrichtung 5 befestigt werden, mit deren Hilfe das Gewicht des Patienten oder Benutzers 2 teilweise oder ganz ausgeglichen wird. Die Gegengewichte 4a werden dabei aus einem Reservoir 4b für Gewichte entnommen.The
Bei der Geh- bzw. Laufbewegung des Benutzers entsteht eine Auf- und Abbewegung, die zu einer entsprechenden Auf- und Abbewegung der Gewichte führt. In jeder Phase der Bewegung wird also der Gewichtsausgleich konstant durchgeführt.During the walking or running movement of the user there is an up and down movement which leads to a corresponding up and down movement of the weights. In every phase of the movement, the weight balance is carried out constantly.
Die erste Seilzugeinrichtung 10 und die zweite Seilzugeinrichtung 5 können auch durch ein einzelnes Seil gebildet werden, das über eine Umlenkrolle 8 mit dem Bauchgurt 9 des Patienten 2 verbunden ist. Es entsteht auf diese Weise eine Art Flaschenzug, die eine genaue Dosierung der Gegengewichte 4a im Verhältnis zum Körpergewicht des Patienten 2 ermöglicht. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird zu Beginn der Behandlung bzw. Benutzung bei der sicheren Positionierung des Patienten mit Hilfe der Seilzugvorrichtung 10 und der Kurbel 11 der zweite Teil der Seilzugvorrichtung 5 entsprechend festgelegt.The first
Die erfindungsgemäße Laufbandeinrichtung ermöglicht also den Ausgleich des Körpergewichtes bzw. die Einstellung der Körperbelastung beim Gehen bzw. Laufen eines Patienten bzw. Benutzers 2 bei konstantem Gewichtsausgleich bzw. konstanter Körperbelastung unabhängig von den Auf- und Abbewegungen des Benutzers.The treadmill device according to the invention thus enables the balance of the body weight or the adjustment of the body load when walking or running a patient or
Wenn in dieser Beschreibung und den Ansprüchen von Gewichten die Rede ist, umfaßt dieser Begriff auch Gewichtskräfte allgemein, wie sie z.B. auch durch einstellbare Federn erzeugt werden können.When reference is made to weights in this description and the claims, this term also includes weight forces in general, as e.g. can also be generated by adjustable springs.
