Definitions

• the invention relates to a training device with a crank for the disabled according to the preamble of claim 1.
• EP 865 804 is a Exercise machine for the disabled discloses that is especially designed for people who either have have very low residual muscle strength or at least only on exercise part of a revolution muscle power. On an ordinary exercise machine would be for such patients the difficulty exists, any movement at all, possibly even achieve a round movement.
• the invention has for its object a training device to provide for the disabled with which it especially patients with unilateral paralysis enables the affected part of the body to be targeted and targeted to move more consciously.
• the starting point of the invention is a training device with a Crank for the disabled, being on the crank arms Pedals or the like for connection with pairs of limbs, such as pairs of feet and / or pairs of arms of the exercising person are provided, as well as with a device for regulation and / or control of the crank movement.
• An essential one Aspect of the invention is that a Electronics unit is provided, which the crank movement in at least two sections within one revolution divides and that in relation to these sections Electronics unit different functions for the Crank movement specifies. That is, for the sections should different functions come into play. To this Way it is possible to design the training process so that the exercising person within one turn of Training device receives different training offers and thus in particular on an impaired, paralyzed Limb next to z. B.
• the Core idea is that also an electronics unit is provided which the crank movement within a Revolution divides that into at least two sections, however with this solution the electronic unit for section-related measurement of at least one Crank parameter with which a statement about the pedaling behavior is enabled and to display the crank parameter and / or of a parameter based thereon in relation to the associated section is designed.
• the patient receives "feedback" about z. B. its Pedal performance in this section and can then become conscious make him move more in this section should.
• a section is the area assigned in which the "healthy" side to crank rotation by pushing (or pulling), while the other contributes Section reflects the area where the "sick" Side of the crank by pushing (or pulling).
• the electronic unit takes the division of the sections into Dependency on crank parameters.
• a crank parameter can, for example, the angular position of the crank be used.
• the division of the sections can however, can also be generated from the torque curve, since the periodicity of the Reflecting crank rotation. It is also conceivable that Classification of the sections depending on the Angular velocity of the crank rotation. Because an "out-of-roundness" of the crank rotation is reflected in the time course of the angular velocity.
• the electronic unit takes the division of the sections into Dependence on sensor signals that indicate the body position at least partially reflect. For example, the position of a knee or hip joint.
• the scheme and / or control of the crank movement for at least one Section according to the laws of isokinetic training he follows. I.e. that the speed is controlled constantly.
• the isokinetic training function can be in the at least two sections be the same, wherein only the sections visible to the patient Moments can be assigned so that the patient can react accordingly.
• the regulation and / or control of the crank for at least one section according to the rules of constant braking torque control he follows. That is, the braking torque is constant predetermined value adjustable.
• the device for Regulation and / or control for driving and braking the Crank is designed. This is particularly important if as in the two descriptive below Embodiments reinforce residual muscle strength the pedaling takes place.
• a further possibility of designing the device for regulation and / or control in at least one section can preferably consist of the device for regulating and / or controlling the crank movement being designed for a speed change ⁇ n in such a way that with a previous energy supply E K by a Exercising applied torque M K on the crank, which has led to an increase in speed, an increase in speed remains if an amount of energy is withdrawn from the mechanical system present or simulated in the training device immediately after the energy supply, which corresponds in size to a value that results from the energy supply E K minus the energy loss due to a braking torque M B and / or friction moments M R.
• This embodiment and the preceding one are described in detail in European laid-open specification EP 86 558 04. We hereby expressly refer to the content thereof, in particular with regard to further refinements of these embodiments.
• the device for Regulation and / or control of the crank movement for at least two sections are subject to the same law, e.g. a constant braking torque control or a control for strengthening residual muscle strength according to the above Embodiments, but the parameters for them Control functions in the at least two sections are different.
• a constant braking torque control with a large braking torque and also in the following section a constant braking torque control, but with a perform small braking torque, causing an adjustment to differently stepping leg sides of a patient easily becomes possible.
• the device for regulating and / or controlling the crank movement is designed to actively drive the crank in the event that the differential torque of the crank torque M K and the braking torque M B together with any friction moments M R falls below a predetermined value . If the patient is no longer able, for example, to apply the predetermined torque value with his or her sick side, this measure can be used to switch from active training to passive training at least over one section, so that overall a smooth movement is still achieved.
• the control device and / or control is designed for a different drive function of the crank.
