Definitions

  • the invention relates to a therapy device according to the features of patent claim 1.
  • a swingable standing floor which consists of a stationary base and a movable upper part and which is substantially oscillatable in a horizontal plane. Swinging floors of this type are used in medical therapy especially for postural training.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • a balance exerciser is known in which movement is sensed by sensors and routed to an electronic interface which converts the subject's current position to mouse, joystick, or similar pointing device signals, which are then fed to a personal computer (PC).
  • PC personal computer
  • a subject can voluntarily change the posture controlling various application programs running on the PC.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the idea of the invention is the combination of a platform for postural training with a computer which is suitable for executing application programs.
  • a platform for postural training e.g. the product Posturomed® from Haider can be used.
  • a computer any commercially available game console can be used.
  • the movement detection device is a balance board for a game console.
  • 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.
  • the motion detection device is a visual motion detection device for a game console.
  • 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.
  • Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a therapy arrangement with a swingable standing floor.
  • the oscillatable standing floor 1 comprises by way of example a bottom part 3 standing on the bottom B and a top part 2 movable relative to the bottom B.
  • the standing floor 1 can be mounted in an oscillating manner in different ways.
  • the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 are connected to each other by two vibration elements 4a, 4b.
  • Other variants for a swingable storage of the floor are made DE 19507927 C2 known or are in Fig. 3 and 4 shown by way of example.
  • Between the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 are in the in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrated embodiments further arranged an active element 5 and a damping element 6.
  • the active one Element 5, for example an electric drive or a hydraulic actuator and the damping element 6, for example a pneumatic or electroviscous damper, are each connected to a computer 7, for example a game console.
  • application programs can be executed, which can be displayed on a screen 9 for a test person 8.
  • the subject 8 tracks the visual stimuli displayed on the screen 9.
  • the stimuli are represented by an exercise (such as a game, questions, tasks, etc.).
  • the use of playful exercises eg customized, commercial PC or console games can significantly increase the motivation to perform and thus the effectiveness.
  • the movements are detected in the movement detection device 10, converted into a first electrical control signal and forwarded to the game console 7.
  • the game console 7 generates a second control signal as a function of the first control signal and thus activates the oscillatable standing floor 1 via the active element 5 in order, for example, to effect a deflection of the upper part 2 of the oscillatable standing floor 1 in the direction of the arrow as a function of the respective PC or console game.
  • the game console 7 generates a third control signal depending on, for example, the first control signal or the progress of the application program played on the game console, and thereby controls the damping element 6.
  • the damping behavior of the oscillatable standing floor 1 can be actively influenced depending on the level of the game or depending on the therapy progress. For example, for beginners, the damping can be increased, while in advanced (or in an advanced level of play), the damping can be reduced.
  • a permanent analysis of the variability of the body's center of gravity also makes it possible to dynamically control the damping.
  • events that are displayed on the screen can be simulated on the swingable standing floor 1 (eg tilting movement, sideways movement when avoiding an obstacle).
  • disturbances can be impressed without visual warning.
  • the training person 8 is on a movement detection device 10, wherein the movement detection device 10 is mounted on the upper part 2 of the standing floor 1.
  • the movement detection device 10 which is a kind of input device for movements, may be an electronic balance board with internal or external sensors 11.
  • the movement detection device 10 is connected to the game console 7, expediently via a corresponding interface (not shown).
  • the sensors 11 of the movement detection device 10 detect the displacement of the body weight of the subject 8 and convert it into electrical signals for transmission to the game console 7.
  • the training person 8 is in front of a movement detection device 10 on the swingable standing floor 1.
  • the movement detection device 10 is a visual motion detection device, such as a camera. This device 10 detects the movements of standing on the swingable standing floor 1 subject 8, converts them into electrical signals and passes them to the game console 7 on.
  • Fig. 3 shows that between the bottom B 3 standing on the bottom B and the oscillating upper part 2 are arranged shaping elements 4c of adjustable elastic materials. A located on the upper part 2 movement detection device 10 is not shown.
  • the mold alloy elements 4c may be replaced by a computer 7 (not shown) as in FIG Fig. 1 or 2 shown, are controlled.
  • Fig. 4 shows a further variant in which between the bottom B and the oscillating upper part 2 adjustable pneumatic actuators 4d are arranged.
  • These pneumatic actuators may be, for example, fluid muscle in pillow form. Via the lines LL it is possible, for example, to pump air L into the cushions 4d. Suitably, the pillows can be filled with different volumes. This makes it possible that the oscillatory standing floor 1 occupies a corresponding inclination relative to the bottom B.
  • the pneumatic actuators 4d may be controlled by a computer 7 (not shown) as in FIG Fig. 1 or 2 explained, are controlled by means of a second and third control signal.
  • shaping elements 4c in Fig. 3 For example, be replaced by fluid muscle in tube form, which can be filled and controlled according to the same principle as under Fig. 4 described.
