Description
- This invention relates to a device supporting physical abilities of the lower limbs, driving the lower limb joints in the sagittal plane and supporting the sitting position and standing up.
- Manipulators used in the rehabilitation of the lower limbs are known. Those devices consist of motorised levers fastened in the hip joint and in the knee joint to the side plane of the left and right lower limb. The devices fitted with such drive systems prohibit performing other movements than walking and they require to use a treadmill or a foundation in order to ensure that the user's feet are supported.
- Driving only the hip and knee joints of both lower limbs does not provide the full control over the manner of treading, limits the range of exercises to walking, and generates adverse forces resulting from hitting the treadmill with the feet.
- A powered orthosis is known from description
WO 2008 124025 , this is adapted to be secured to a corresponding body portion of a user for guiding motion of the user. The orthosis comprises a plurality of structural members and one or more joints adjoining adjacent structural members. Each joint has one or more degrees of freedom and a range of joint angles. Each joint comprises at least one actuator governed by at least one controller for controlling the joint angle. The joint actuator controllers are synchronized to cause the corresponding joint actuators to generate forces for assisting the user to move the orthosis at least in part under the user's power along a desired trajectory within an allowed tolerance. - An apparatus for treadmill training of walking-disabled patients, comprising a treadmill, a relief mechanism for the patient, and a driven orthotic device is known from description
US 6821233 . The device automatically guides the patient legs on the treadmill. The orthotic device comprises a hip orthotic device and two leg parts, as well as hip drives and knee drives. Stabilizing members maintain the patient's balance. The length of the orthotic device members is adjustable to the patient's height. -
WO 01/91675 - The purpose of the invention is to design a device that enables the user to stand up, walk, sit down and other movements of the lower limbs that are in line with the anatomy, for instance a knee bend, a one-leg stand, with the possibility to eliminate the contact of feet with the foundation.

- According to the invention, the device has a vertical mechanism that enables the user to be lifted, a seat mechanism that enables the user to be supported and lifted while sitting down and standing up and pivotally connected couplings of three joints - the hip joint, the knee joint and the ankle joint - allowing the movement in the sagittal plane.
- The lumbar support, movable in the vertical plane, is connected in a hip articulation through arms to mobile couplings of the lower limbs, a back pusher movable in the vertical plane and sagittal plane is connected through the lumbar support with arms, and the seat movable in the vertical plane is connected to a bracket.
- The essence of the solution according to the invention consists in that the lumbar support, the back pusher, the arms and the seat are mounted on common vertical guide rails of the stand. The back pusher has a variable position, successively in the frontal plane and in the sagittal plane,
The arms are pivotally mounted in the guide rails, movable to part sideways.
The device has hip side clamps with a variable position successively in the frontal and the sagittal plane. - Each segment of a member that is adjacent to the lower limbs of the user consists of a thigh coupling, a shin coupling and a foot coupling, in addition the thigh coupling and the shin coupling have a variable, adjustable length through a prismatic articulation interlocked with a clamp, and a shin prismatic articulation.
A magnetic barrier is situated in the base of the stand.
The device has thigh and shin cuffs that can be shifted in the frontal and in the sagittal plane. The device has foot supports that can be shifted in the frontal plane and in the side plane.
The ankle joint articulation has a drive situated on the side plane of the member that is parallel to the user's limbs. A belt rotary gear constitutes the ankle joint articulation and the knee joint articulation. The hip joint articulation is a backlash-free cycloidal gear connected to a servomotor with a vibration-dampening belt gear. - The solution according to the invention - by synchronized driving of the hip, knee and ankle joints of the user in accordance with the anatomy, or the correct human gait pattern - enables the lower limbs to be moved in a set manner allowing standing up, walking, knee bending, alternating leg swings and sitting down in accordance with the abilities of the human anatomy and the anatomical movement and the range of these movements. Driving all lower limb joints in the sagittal plane and lack of contact with the foundation and its adverse impact during treading, consequently provides great possibilities of programming any lower limb movements, in accordance with the human anatomy.
