Aus der Patentschrift
Sensormotorisches Training ist eine bekannte Methode um traumatische, krankheits- oder altersbedingte Gleichgewichtsstörungen zu therapieren. Dabei ist die zu theraplerende Person durch die gezielte Schaffung eines labilen Standuntergrundes gefordert durch ausgleichende Bewegungen den Körperschwerpunkt zu verlagern um, im Extremfall, ein Fallen zu verhindern. Fallverletzungen sind speziell im Alter die mit Abstand führende Verletzungsart bezüglich Therapiekosten bzw. Pflegekosten. Bei Sportverletzungen sowie Erkrankungen des menschlichen Gleichgewichtsapparates werden entsprechende Übungen genutzt um durch Training anderer physiologischer (Ersatz-)Mechanismen eine Verbesserung der Leistungsfähigkeit bzw. Lebensqualität zu erreichen. Einer der Faktoren für das Training ist es auf das Unterbewusstsein zu wirken, d.h. ein bewusstes, willentliches Eingreifen zur Gleichgewichtsfindung zu verhindern. Nur so kann die Person im täglichen Leben Unfälle durch spontane Ausgleichsreaktionen auf unerwartete Ereignisse (nicht bemerkte Bodenunebenheiten o.a.) vermeiden.Sensorimotor training is a well-known method to treat traumatic, disease or age-related balance disorders. The person to be treated by the targeted creation of an unstable stand background is required by balancing movements to shift the body's center of gravity in order to prevent falling in extreme cases. Fall injuries are especially in old age by far the leading type of injury in terms of therapy costs or care costs. In sports injuries and diseases of the human equilibrium apparatus corresponding exercises are used to achieve by training other physiological (replacement) mechanisms to improve performance or quality of life. One of the factors for the training is to act on the subconscious mind, ie to prevent a conscious, willful intervention to balance. Only in this way can the person in everyday life avoid accidents through spontaneous compensation reactions to unexpected events (unnoticed bumps or similar).
Schon heute werden Übungen mit dem o.g. Hintergrund durchgeführt. Dazu sind heute bereits einfache Balancierplattformen (Wippen, Kegel, Schaumstoffunterlagen) wie auch komplizierter Aufbauten, z.B. mit kardanischer Federaufhängung im Einsatz. Allen gemeinsam ist aber, dass es zum Training des Unterbewusstseins notwendig ist, den zu Therapierenden aktiv abzulenken; zum Beispiel durch Gespräche bis hin zum Lösen von Rechenaufgaben etc. Dies ist speziell wichtig wenn die zerebrale Leistungsfähigkeit zur Verarbeitung der Reize bzw. Befehle an den Bewegungsapparat für die Probleme verantwortlich ist.Even today, exercises with the o.g. Background performed. For this purpose, today already simple Balancierplattformen (rockers, cones, foam pads) as well as complicated structures, e.g. with gimbal spring suspension in use. What they all have in common is that it is necessary for the training of the subconscious mind to actively distract the therapist; This can be especially important if the cerebral capacity to process the stimuli or commands to the musculoskeletal system is responsible for the problems.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Therapieanordnung mit einem schwingfähigen Stehboden anzugeben, mit welcher die Effektivität einer posturalen Trainingseinheit gesteigert werden kann.It is an object of the invention to provide a therapy arrangement with a swingable standing floor, with which the effectiveness of a postural training session can be increased.
Die Aufgabe wird mit der Therapieanordnung gemäß den Merkmalen des geltenden Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.The object is achieved with the therapy arrangement according to the features of the
Die erfindungsgemäße Therapieanordnung weist einen schwingfähigen Stehboden auf. Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass ein Computer zur Ansteuerung des schwingfähigen Stehbodens vorhanden ist. Die Therapieanordnung umfasst erfindungsgemäß ferner ein Gerät, welches die Bewegungen einer Testperson auf dem schwingfähigen Stehboden erfasst und in ein erstes Steuersignal für einen mit dem Bewegungserfassungsgerät verbundenen Computer umwandelt. Erfindungsgemäß ist ein mit dem Computer verbundenes erstes Element vorhanden, welches ein zweites Steuersignal des Computers in mechanische Auslenkungen des beweglichen Oberteils umwandelt. Dieses erste Element kann z.B. ein aktives Element sein, welches auf geeignete Weise eine Auslenkung des schwingfähigen Stehbodens bewirkt.The therapy arrangement according to the invention has an oscillatable standing floor. The invention is characterized in that a computer for controlling the oscillatory standing floor is present. The therapy device according to the invention further comprises a device which detects the movements of a test person on the swingable standing floor and converts it into a first control signal for a computer connected to the movement detection device. According to the invention, a first element connected to the computer is present, which converts a second control signal of the computer into mechanical Deflections of the movable shell converts. This first element may be, for example, an active element, which causes a deflection of the oscillatable standing floor in a suitable manner.
Zweckmäßig ist ein mit dem Computer verbundenes zweites Element vorhanden. Dieses zweite Element kann z.B. ein dämpfendes Element sein, welches auf geeignete Weise eine Dämpfung des schwingfähigen Stehbodens bewirkt. Der Computer wertet zweckmäßig das durch das erste Steuersignal übermittelte Balancierverhalten des Patienten aus und passt die Dämpfung an den Trainingszustand an. Hierbei erzeugt der Computer zweckmäßig ein drittes Steuersignal, welches an das zweite Element geleitet wird.It is expedient to have a second element connected to the computer. This second element may e.g. be a damping element, which causes in a suitable manner a damping of the oscillatory standing floor. The computer expediently evaluates the patient's balancing behavior transmitted by the first control signal and adapts the damping to the training state. In this case, the computer expediently generates a third control signal, which is passed to the second element.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass durch das Zusammenwirken der bestehenden Trainingsansätze mit Geräten für computerunterstützte Balanzierübungen die Effektivität des Trainings gesteigert werden kann. Zudem kann der zeitintensive Einsatz von Therapiepersonal reduziert werden.It has been shown that the effectiveness of the training can be increased by the interaction of the existing training approaches with devices for computer-aided balancing exercises. In addition, the time-consuming use of therapy staff can be reduced.
Idee der Erfindung ist die Kombination einer Plattform zum posturalen Training mit einem Computer, welcher geeignet ist Anwendungsprogramme auszuführen. Als Plattform zum posturalen Training kann z.B. das Produkt Posturomed® der Fa. Haider verwendet werden. Als Computer kann jede kommerziell erhältliche Spielkonsole verwendet werden.The idea of the invention is the combination of a platform for postural training with a computer which is suitable for executing application programs. As a platform for postural training, e.g. the product Posturomed® from Haider can be used. As a computer, any commercially available game console can be used.
Sowohl die Anwendung einer Spielkonsole, als auch die Anwendung einer posturalen Plattform führen zu bewusstem Steuern. Die Kombination der beiden Anlagen führt jedoch zu einer unterbewussten Gleichgewichtsfindung, d.h. ein bewusstes, willentliches Eingreifen zur Gleichgewichtsfindung wird verhindert. Dieser Effekt kann noch durch die Reaktion auf von außen aufgeprägte Störungen verstärkt werden, bzw. der Schwierigkeitsgrad adaptiert und damit die Trainingsintensität gesteigert werden.Both the use of a game console and the use of a postural platform lead to conscious control. The combination of the two systems, however, leads to a subconscious balance determination, i. a conscious, willing intervention to balance is prevented. This effect can be amplified by the reaction to externally imprinted disturbances, or the degree of difficulty adapted and thus the training intensity can be increased.
In einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Bewegungserfassungsgerät ein Balancebrett für eine Spielkonsole. Bei dieser Ausführungsform dient das Balancebrett als Standfläche für die Testperson. Handelsübliche Balancebretter für Spielkonsolen umfassen eine Mehrzahl von Sensoren, mit welchen die Bewegungen der Testpersonen auf dem Balancebrett erfasst und in elektrische Steuersignale zur Weiterleitung an die Spielkonsole umgewandelt werden.In a first embodiment of the invention, the movement detection device is a balance board for a game console. In this embodiment, the balance board serves as a stand for the subject. Commercial balance boards for game consoles include a plurality of sensors with which the movements of the subjects are detected on the balance board and converted into electrical control signals for transmission to the game console.
In der zweiten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Bewegungserfassungsgerät eine visuelle Bewegungserkennungseinrichtung für eine Spielkonsole. Bei dieser Ausführungsform steht die Testperson vor der visuellen Bewegungserkennungseinrichtung. Handelsübliche visuelle Bewegungserkennungseinrichtungen für Spielkonsolen umfassen üblicherweise eine Kamera, mit welcher die Bewegungen einer Testperson erfasst und in elektrische Steuersignale zur Weiterleitung an die Spielkonsole umgewandelt werden.In the second embodiment of the invention, the motion detection device is a visual motion detection device for a game console. In this embodiment, the subject stands in front of the visual motion detection device. Commercially available visual motion detection devices for game consoles typically include a camera with which the movements of a subject are detected and converted into electrical control signals for transmission to the game console.

Die Testperson 8 verfolgt die auf dem Bildschirm 9 dargestellten, visuellen Reize. Die Reize werden durch eine Übung (z.B. durch ein Spiel, Fragestellungen, Aufgaben etc.) dargestellt. Die Verwendung von spielerischen Übungen (z.B. durch angepasste, kommerzielle PC- oder Konsolenspiele kann die Motivation zur Durchführung und damit die Effektivität deutlich erhöhen. Die Bewegungen werden im Bewegungserfassungsgerät 10 erfasst, in ein erstes elektrisches Steuersignal umgewandelt und an die Spielkonsole 7 weitergegeben. Die Spielkonsole 7 erzeugt in Abhängigkeit des ersten Steuersignals ein zweites Steuersignal und steuert damit den schwingfähigen Stehboden 1 über das aktive Element 5 an, um z.B. in Abhängigkeit des jeweiligen PC- oder Konsolenspiels eine Auslenkung des Oberteils 2 des schwingfähigen Stehbodens 1 in Pfeilrichtung zu bewirken.The subject 8 tracks the visual stimuli displayed on the
Zusätzlich erzeugt die Spielkonsole 7 in Abhängigkeit z.B. des ersten Steuersignals oder des Fortschritts, des auf der Spielkonsole abgespielten Anwendungsprogramms, ein drittes Steuersignal und steuert damit das dämpfende Element 6 an. Dadurch kann z.B. das Dämpfungsverhalten des schwingfähigen Stehbodens 1 je nach Level des Spiels oder je nach Therapiefortschritt aktiv beeinflusst werden kann. So kann bei Anfängern z.B. die Dämpfung erhöht werden, während bei Fortgeschrittenen (oder in einem fortgeschrittenem Spiellevel) die Dämpfung reduziert werden kann. Eine permanente Analyse der Variabilität des Körperschwerpunkts erlaubt es darüber hinaus, die Dämpfung dynamisch zu regeln. Außerdem können Ereignisse, welche auf dem Bildschirm angezeigt werden, auf dem schwingfähigen Stehboden 1 simuliert werden (z.B. Kippbewegung, Seitwärtsbewegung beim Ausweichen eines Hindernisses). Zusätzlich können Störungen ohne visuelle Vorwarnung aufgeprägt werden.In addition, the
