Definitions
- the invention relates to a therapy device, in particular for postoperative
- Swivel device with a rotation axis and a toe support.
- the pivoting device is a pivotable mounting of the big toe (also called big toe or Hallux called) possible
- the toe pad usually has fixing means for fixing the big toe.
- the swiveling device consequently serves for moving the big toe, in particular for the postoperative treatment of big toe misalignments, such as, for example, a hallux valgus
- a dorsiflexion the bending of a movement segment after dorsally
- plantarflexion the movement of the foot or toe towards the sole of the foot
- Object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved therapy device for postoperative treatment of joints, which is particularly flexible adaptable to the anatomical conditions of the joint to be treated and beyond compact and space-saving design and thus is particularly suitable for transport.
- the therapy device is used for the postoperative treatment of joints, in particular the big toe joint, and has a base body and a movement segment with a bearing surface for supporting the joint to be treated.
- the movement segment is pivotally mounted about an axis of rotation on the base body.
- the main body according to the invention is optionally designed for left and right side storage of a limb support.
- the therapy device has a modular structure with a base body.
- a base body On the base body, based on its longitudinal axis, both left and right side a limb support stored and in particular connected, for example, to rest a left or right foot in a treatment of joint malfunctions or malpositions such as hallux valgus or arthrosis with the therapy device is used.
- the therapy device is designed to be particularly compact for transport by the limb pad can be formed separately from the base body and removable from it. The transport and storage of the body can thus be done separately from the (bulky) limb support.
- the connection of the limb support to the base body can be easily realized, for example, by means of a snap, clip, snap or clamp connection.
- the connection of the limb support to the base body can be easily realized, for example, by means of a snap, clip, snap or clamp connection.
- Limb support pivotally attached to the main body, so that by a simple pivoting of the limb support about a longitudinal axis of the body, a left-side and a right-side storage is possible.
- a particular advantage of the invention thus results from the fact that the
- Main body can be connected, so that the therapy device for body parts of both the right and the left half of the body can be used very flexible.
- the therapy device according to the present invention is therefore not only particularly compact and inexpensive, but it is also versatile in a particularly simple manner. To ensure optimal handling of the therapy device, the
- Base body preferably formed substantially symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis, so that an optional arrangement of the extremity support to the left or to the right side of the body is readily possible.

- Support surface is provided for the respective body part to be treated.
- At least one roller element can serve as a bearing surface for the joint to be treated, the axis of rotation of which runs transversely to the longitudinal direction of the base body. In this way, the body part to be treated can be moved in all directions on the support surface with a movement of the movement segment. Due to the movable storage of the
- the fixing position of the body part can be displaced such that an offset of the axes of rotation is compensated.
- a good adaptation of the pivotally movable mounting of the body part to the anatomical conditions is possible, so that an improved therapeutic success is ensured by the therapy device according to the invention.
- the therapy device To ensure a secure state of the therapy device, the
- Base body preferably at least one detachable and / or movable support foot, and in particular at least one recess for receiving the support foot on.
- a plurality of support feet are provided, which for
- a support attached to the body limb support can support. Due to the displaceable or detachable design of the
- the support feet can also be turned out.

- a therapy device in which the support surface is limited by at least one lateral web to prevent bruising of the body part to be treated.
- the web can either directly on the support surface or on a connectable to the body
- the base body comprises an integrated drive device for manual (for example by means of a lever) or electrical displacement of the movement segment.
- Drive device may be, for example, a threaded spindle drive or an arc segment drive.
- a threaded spindle drive or an arc segment drive.
- the drive device cooperates with an overload protection.
- a corresponding controller preferably interacts with the drive device in such a way that it shuts off the
- Motion segment detected Such an overload condition can be detected, for example, by an increase in the torque of the drive device or a reduction in the speed of the movement segment.
- the pressure of the body part to be treated, in particular the big toe can be measured on the support surface.
- a pressure sensor is preferably provided, which may be integrated in the support surface. If the toe pressure becomes too great, the pressure sensor may generate a corresponding signal that causes a controller to turn off the pivoting motion of the motion segment.
- the limb support comprises connecting means for detachably connecting the limb support to the main body of a therapy device according to the invention.
- the limb support is preferably designed adjustable in size and thus on
- an adjustable heel part in the height and / or longitudinal direction.
- fracture segments it is also possible, for example, for fracture segments to be provided which resize allow the extremity support to a patient individually.
- the extremity support preferably has fixing means, in particular in the form of bands or straps, for fixing the extremities to the extremity support.
- fixing means in particular in the form of bands or straps, for fixing the extremities to the extremity support.
- the extremity support may be formed as an injection molded part, whereby the production is particularly simple and inexpensive possible.
