Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rollstuhl, insbesondere zur Therapie von Personen mit spastischen Lähmungen, aufweisend an einem Grundgestell drehbar befestigte Räder, eine Sitzfläche sowie ein mit der Sitzfläche verbundenes Rückenlehnenteil, wobei die Sitzfläche durch einen Schwenkmechanismus relativ zum Grundgestell bewegbar, insbesondere vor- und zurückbewegbar ist.The invention relates to a wheelchair, in particular for the treatment of persons with spastic paralyzes, having on a base frame rotatably mounted wheels, a seat and a backrest connected to the seat back part, wherein the seat is movable by a pivoting mechanism relative to the base frame, in particular forward and zurückbewegbar ,
Patienten mit spastischen Lähmungen verbringen einen großen Teil einer Zeit in Rollstühlen. Insbesondere Kinder, die an spastischen Lähmungen erkrankt sind, haben jedoch häufig einen hohen Bewegungsdrang und fühlen sich in Rollstühlen des Standes der Technik eingeengt und unwohl. Weiter bedürfen solche Patienten einer Bewegungstherapie, bei welcher Gelenke passiv bewegt werden, um deren Beweglichkeit zu erhalten.Patients with spasticity suffer from a lot of time in wheelchairs. In particular, children who suffer from spasticity, but often have a high urge to move and feel confined in wheelchairs of the prior art and uncomfortable. Furthermore, such patients require exercise therapy in which joints are passively moved to maintain their mobility.
Auch für weitere Personen, welche an einer Erkrankung und/oder einer Behinderung wie schlaffen Lähmungen leiden, kann eine Bewegungstherapie zweckmäßig sein. Eine Bewegungstherapie ist gegenwärtig jedoch nur außerhalb des Rollstuhles bzw. mit Unterstützung eines Physiotherapeuten möglich.Movement therapy may also be appropriate for other persons suffering from a disease and / or disability such as flaccid paralyzes. However, movement therapy is currently only possible outside the wheelchair or with the assistance of a physiotherapist.
Bekannte Vorrichtungen zur Therapie spastischer Lähmungen haben einen hohen Platzbedarf und erfordern daher ein hohes Maß an Stabilität, sodass diese Geräte nicht in einen Rollstuhl integrierbar sind. Aus dem Stand der Technik sind zwar Rollstühle mit bewegbaren Sitzflächen bekannt geworden, um eine Umlagerung eingeschränkt bewegungsfähiger Personen zu ermöglichen. Dabei klappt die Sitzfläche in einem Bogen nach vorne, wobei ein Neigungswinkel der Sitzfläche derart geändert wird, dass eine auf dem Rollstuhl befindliche Person leicht nach vorne aus dem Rollstuhl beispielsweise auf ein Bett rutscht. Für die Therapie von Patienten mit spastischen Lähmungen ist jedoch auch ein derartiger Rollstuhl nicht geeignet. Auch die Bewegungsfreiheit ist bei diesem Rollstuhl eingeschränkt, da der Rollstuhl wohl nur zum Umlagern des Patienten in einen bewegbaren Zustand gebracht wird, da die Patienten andernfalls aus dem Rollstuhl rutschen.Known devices for the treatment of spastic paralyzes have a high space requirement and therefore require a high degree of stability, so that these devices are not integrated into a wheelchair. Although wheelchairs having movable seating surfaces have become known from the prior art in order to enable a rearrangement of persons with restricted mobility. The seat flips forward in an arc, with a tilt angle of the seat is changed so that a person on the wheelchair easily slips forward out of the wheelchair, for example on a bed. However, such a wheelchair is not suitable for the therapy of patients with spastic paralyzes. Also, the freedom of movement is limited in this wheelchair, since the wheelchair is probably brought only to relocate the patient in a movable state, otherwise the patients slip out of the wheelchair.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Rollstuhl der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, welcher einer Bewegungsfreiheit der Patienten verbessert und insbesondere eine Therapie für Patienten mit spastischen Lähmungen ermöglicht.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a wheelchair of the type mentioned, which improves the freedom of movement of patients and in particular allows therapy for patients with spasticity.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Rollstuhl gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 2 bis 20.This object is achieved by a wheelchair according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments are subject matter of

Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of a wheelchair according to the invention.
Bei einem Fahrbetrieb des Rollstuhles 1 ist es vorzugsweise möglich, die durch den Schwenkmechanismus 4 beweglichen Teile des Rollstuhles 1 mittels eines nicht dargestellten Arretiermechanismus zu fixieren, um einen stabilen Fahrbetrieb zu gewährleisten. Der Arretiermechanismus kann beispielsweise durch einen handbetätigbaren Hebel realisiert sein, welcher die Sitzfläche 6 zur starren Fixierung mit dem Grundgestell 2 lösbar verbindet. Aufgrund der integralen Ausführung eines Rollstuhles 1 mit einem Therapiegerät ist es möglich, einen Aufwand der Konstruktion gering zu halten und ein minimales Gewicht von weniger als 20 Kilogramm zu erzielen. Bei einer Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Rollstuhles 1 als Elektrorollstuhl sind jedoch auch wesentlich höhere Massen möglich.In a driving operation of the wheelchair 1, it is preferably possible to fix the movable parts of the wheelchair 1 by the
Für eine besondere Variabilität des Rollstuhles 1 ist es günstig, wenn die Räder 3 mittels Steckachsen an mehreren Positionen des Grundgestells 2 lösbar befestigbar sind. So kann der Rollstuhl 1 einfach an Patienten unterschiedlicher Größe adaptiert und zu einem Transport zerlegt werden. Dazu ist es vorteilhaft, wenn auch der Schwenkmechanismus 4 an mehreren Positionen des Grundgestells 2 befestigbar ist.For a particular variability of the wheelchair 1, it is advantageous if the
Eine besonders hohe Kippsicherheit des Rollstuhles 1 wird in einer bevorzugten Variante durch einen entsprechenden Achsabstand der Räder 3 und nicht dargestellte Querstreben im Grundgestell 2 erreicht. Vorzugsweise ist das Rückenlehnenteil 7 in einer Höhe variabel ausgeführt; dies kann beispielsweise mittels eines Teleskoprohres erfolgen, an welchem ein Rückenteil befestigt ist. Besonders günstig ist es, wenn der Rollstuhl 1 derart ausgebildet ist, dass gesondert erhältliche Rückenteile (z. B. ein Rückenteil des Unternehmens Sunrise Medical mit der Handelsbezeichnung Jay 3) am Rollstuhl 1 befestigbar sind. Weiter ist es günstig, wenn der Rollstuhl 1 Armstützen aufweist, welche die vereinfachte Ausführung gemäß
Günstigerweise wird der Rollstuhl 1 mit einem modularen bzw. veränderbaren Grundgestell 2 ausgeführt, um verschiedene Rahmengrößen realisieren zu können. Besonders bevorzugt wird der Rollstuhl 1 mit einem elektromechanisch verstellbaren Grundgestell 2 ausgeführt, um eine Anpassung an verschiedene Körpergrößen besonders einfach zu ermöglichen. Bewährt hat es sich, dass die Sitzfläche 6 geteilt und nach vorne abklappbar ausgeführt ist. Besonders günstig ist es dabei, wenn eine vordere Hälfte oder ein vorderes Drittel der Sitzfläche 6 um eine Achse, welche etwa parallel zur Klappachse 9 ist, abgeklappt werden kann. So ist der Rollstuhl 1 an verschiedenste Körpergrößen und Trainingspositionen anpassbar. Weiter kann auch eine Feststellbremse vorgesehen sein, die günstigerweise derart am Rollstuhl 1 angeordnet ist, dass diese für den Patienten aus einer Sitzposition erreichbar ist.Conveniently, the wheelchair 1 is designed with a modular or
Ein erfindungsgemäßer Rollstuhl 1 ermöglicht eine Bewegungstherapie für Patienten mit spastischen Lähmungen. Es sind jedoch damit auch weitere Erkrankungen und Behinderungen, insbesondere schlaffe Lähmungen, therapierbar. Es ist möglich, Personen mit einer Restmobilität, wie Kranke und Senioren, zu therapieren und auch Patienten ohne Restmobilität, wie Gelähmte. Dies hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass der Patient zur Therapie nicht aus dem Rollstuhl 1 bewegt werden muss. Darüber hinaus ist auch eine Therapie für den Patienten ohne Physiotherapeuten und praktisch an jedem Ort möglich, sodass eine Therapiefrequenz erhöht wird, wodurch ein Therapieerfolg steigt. Aufgrund einer Klappbarkeit des Rollstuhles 1 in einer bevorzugten Variante ist auch eine hohe Einsatzflexibilität gegeben. Weiter bietet der erfindungsgemäße Rollstuhl 1 durch den Schwenkmechanismus 4 eine erhöhte Bewegungsfreiheit für Patienten, wovon insbesondere spastisch gelähmte Kinder profitieren, die üblicherweise einen hohen Bewegungsdrang verspüren.An inventive wheelchair 1 allows movement therapy for patients with spasticity. However, there are also other diseases and disabilities, especially flaccid paralyzes, treatable. It is possible to treat people with residual mobility, such as the sick and elderly, as well as patients without residual mobility, such as paralyzed people. This has the particular advantage that the patient does not have to be moved out of the wheelchair 1 for therapy. In addition, therapy is also available to the patient without physical therapists and virtually anywhere possible, so that a therapy frequency is increased, whereby a therapeutic success increases. Due to a foldability of the wheelchair 1 in a preferred variant, a high versatility is given. Furthermore, the wheelchair 1 according to the invention by the
Neben oder alternativ zu dem zuvor beschriebenen Schwenkmechanismus 4, der eine Vor- und Zurückbewegung der Sitzfläche 6 in Fahrtrichtung des Rollstuhles 6 erlaubt, kann auch ein Schwenkmechanismus vorgesehen sein, der eine zyklische bzw. oszillierende Hin- und Herbewegung quer zur Fahrtrichtung erlaubt, wobei der Grundmechanismus grundsätzlich gleich sein kann. Auch ein Mechanismus zur kreisenden Bewegung der Sitzfläche 6 relativ zum Grundgestell 2 kann vorgesehen sein. Grundsätzlich kann jeder Schwenkmechanismus eingesetzt sein, der eine Bewegung der Sitzfläche 6 relativ zum Grundgestell 2 annähernd in einer Ebene erlaubt, sodass durch die Bewegung des Beckens einer Person eine Relativbewegung des Oberkörpers zu den Beinen erreicht wird. In allen Fällen kann ein Motor, insbesondere Elektromotor, am Rollstuhl montiert sein, sodass die gewünschte Bewegung und damit ein Therapieeffekt ohne körperliche Anstrengung erzielbar sind.In addition to or as an alternative to the previously described
