Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new device that may be employed in the medical, physical training and/or rehabilitation field and, more particularly, the invention refers to a new apparatus for rehabilitation and/or re-education of an impaired patient, preferably an individual or patient with dysfunction in the lower limbs, to induce walking movements, develop balance and train muscles, preferably in handicapped persons with gross motor impairments, wherein the apparatus is effective in helping correct the postural (stance) structure and also attaining the exact reproduction of human walking, efficiently inducing the movement of the joints of the foot, heel, ankle, knee and hips, all of them with high participation in the walking movements.
- stance postural
- the disabilities that affect the lower limbs basically hinder or limit displacement and the two-legged stance.
- the technical solutions available to persons with motor dysfunctions, for walking rehabilitation purposes can be generally classified in mobile and fixed devices that have been aimed at helping patients recover their walking capabilities, without, however, efficiently achieving the right motor coordination, balance control of the limbs and torso, correction of the body posture and strengthening of the atrophic limbs.
- the known mobile equipment uses the patient's own force to move, using devices commonly known as walkers.
- the systems are based mainly on the force that the patient must exert with the upper limbs on the device that serves as a support to maintain the two-legged stance.
- the devices are a kind of a support or cart moving over some sort of rollers or wheels and the patient must exert the necessary force against the floor to move. It is obvious that the patient must be capable of standing up and walk, at least slightly and this is not possible for patients having strong neurological disorders with practically no muscles in conditions to support the body weight or to move the legs to get a minimal walking distance.
- the above systems do not provide any type of step regulation or limb movement sequence.
- DE 102005014204 to Steinert Chistoph entitled “Old person's natural heading movement stimulator produces movement of lower extremity/limb in frequency and with dynamics of walking, where movements of ankle joint is effected in frequency of heading movement”
- FR 2691127 to of Michel Sarciron entitled “Medical re-training aid to assist patient in controlling feet” disclose devices to primarily stimulate joints and, in particular, ankles.
- US Patent 6,666,798 to Borsheim discloses an apparatus for rehabilitation of a functionally impaired leg of a patient suffering from paralysis, adapted for receiving also an attendant, both, patient and attendant exercising on a treadmill, with the apparatus comprising leg brackets adjacent to the patient's and attendant's knees, a connecting member coupling the leg brackets to transmit motion from an attendant's leg to a patient's leg.
- the apparatus also including an ankle appliance having an upper extension and a lower extension proximate the ankle is attached to a patient's foot and an ankle brace is similarly attached to an attendant's foot.
- the coordinated leg and ankle movement allows a patient's paralysis damaged leg to duplicate the walking motion of an attendant's leg.
- the apparatus also uses handrails in the treadmill and a suspension strap to keep the patient in a suspended position to allow leg movement without the hindrance of up to full body weight.
- This apparatus does not teach neither suggests the possibility of varying the height of the strap to permit the body weight of the patient to be transmitted to the legs to better train the lower limbs supporting at least part of the natural body weight.
- the belt of the treadmill runs always in the same direction without guiding the patient's feet to emulate the entire walking movement, namely along a closed loop.
- the apparatus comprises a harness for supporting the patient, with the patient having their feet affixed to a couple of walking bars to really reproduce the movements of the lower limbs when walking, with the harness being pending from an upper part of the apparatus including height regulating means for moving the harness up and down to have the patient's body weight unloaded on the legs reduced or increased for better training of the legs.
- the apparatus comprises a support structure such as a chassis 2 of a light and resistant construction and material, of aluminium or steel for example, having a base 3, a top or upper end 4 and a plurality of columns 5, 6, 7, 8.
- the chassis 2 is resistant and capable of supporting at least the weight of a patient and the components.
- Walking bars 9, 10 are provided, with the walking bars 9, 10 being mounted to move along a path emulating, duplicating or copying the natural walking movement, such as up and down and back and forth along a closed movement loop, such as a seesaw movement, for example.
- Walking bars 9, 10 may be made of any suitable material such as steel or aluminium and preferably of a hollow metal profile to be resistant and of a light weight to support the patient's weight. The weight of the patient will be controllably unloaded, partially or totally, on the walking bars 9, 10.
- each walking bar 9, 10 has a respective rear end 11, 12 connected to motor means 13 and a respective front end 14, 15 slidably connected to respective front guide means 16, 17.
- the sliding connection between front ends 14, 15 of walking bars 9, 10 are preferably established by a bracket 18, 19 having, at a lower edge thereof, a rotary shaft (not shown) with end rollers of which only one roller 20 is shown in bracket 19, and only one roller 21 is shown in bracket 18, see Figures 3 and 6 . While not shown, the rotary shafts in brackets 18, 19, are provided with rollers opposite and associated to rollers 20, 21 to properly slide along front guide means 16, 17.

- the new design and combination of components provides a wider range of movements and adjustments to different patients, also stimulating the standing equilibrium.
- No rods or complex retaining means are necessary to affix to the legs of the patient but only simple straps for example, are necessary to brace the patient's feet to firmly retain the same in the walking bars.
- the feet Since only the feet are affixed to the walking bars, the feet follow the movement of the walking bars along the closed loop copying the natural walking movement thus causing the feet, with all their joints, to move accordingly.
- the movement to the legs is imposed at the feet and not to the entire extension of the legs.
- the patient after some treatment sessions, feels that he/she can move the legs to accompany the feet movement.
