Such therapy devices having a one-piece base plate having a left-side and a right-side surface, a movement segment having a support surface for a left or right-side body part to be treated, and a drive for swinging the movement segment relative to the base plate may be used for treatment of left and right sides. and right-sided body parts.

Background Art For various treatments of body parts, various devices are nowadays used with which body parts can be automatically mobilized and trained. Such mobilization may be of great importance in the postoperative management of body parts connected by joints or other therapeutic treatment, such as in the treatment of osteoarthritis. It is important, on the one hand, to move the involved joint over the largest possible or adjusted angle and, on the other hand, to protect the body part.

For example, in the treatment of big toe therapy devices are used, in which the Großzeh to be treated (Hallux) is moved or pivoted relative to the foot. Such therapy devices have the purpose of the big toe or the body part automated and gentle mobilize to a well-controlled extent. Typically, the type and extent of mobilization will be adjusted as the treatment progresses.

In this context, from WO 2015/022142 A2 a therapy device is known, which has a base with support feet on which a movement segment is pivotally mounted. Adjacent to the motion segment, the base is provided with means that allow a support element to be attached in two ways. The support member is shaped to be suitable for supporting a left foot when mounted in one way to the base and for bearing a right foot when mounted to the base in the other way. A disadvantage of the known devices is that they are typically bulky and inflexible. For example, the base of the above-mentioned device must be installed so that the support element can be mounted as intended. In addition, such devices must also be assembled in each case and they can fall apart again or be assembled incorrectly. The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to propose a therapy device that allows efficient, easy-to-use and flexible treatment of a body part by means of its mobilization.

If reference signs are also mentioned in the description text directly related to a figure, which are not included in the associated figure, reference is made to the preceding and following figures. Like reference numerals in two or more figures indicate similar or like elements.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an inventive therapy device 1 in a perspective view. The therapy apparatus 1 comprises a base plate 2 having a flat right-side surface 21 and a flat left-side surface 22 different from the right-side surface 21. In Fig. 1, the right-side surface 21 is above and the left-side surface 22 is below. The base plate 2 consists of two flat, stacked plate parts 28, which are firmly connected to each other and thus form a unit, so that the base plate 2 is in one piece. Directly to the base plate 2, a movement segment 3 is mounted by means of an axle bolt 41 of a drive 4. The axle bolt 41 has a gripping portion 41 1, on which it can be manually held and rotated for screwing or unscrewing. On the right-side surface 21 of the base plate 2, a right-side pad 51 is placed from a foamed plastic. In an analogous manner, a left-side support 52 made of a foamed plastic is placed on the left-side surface 22 of the base plate 2. The two supports 5 are cut so that they completely cover the associated left- or right-side surfaces 21, 22. The plastic from which they are made is for a relatively soft and thus comfortable for a user of the therapy device. 1 On the other hand, they are washable and therefore easy to clean with a soap. In addition, the Plastic adhesive properties that allow the pads 5 are held by pressing sufficiently firmly on the base plate 2.

Transversely across the right-side surface 21 of the base plate 2 and the right-side support 51, a band 61 extends a holding device 6. At its longitudinal ends, the band 61 is provided with two mounting pins 62 as a mounting structure, in two corresponding, on the long sides the base plate 2 formed pin receptacles are inserted as a mounting structure. The mounting pins 62 and the pin receptacles together form a reversible connector. It allows the tape 61 to be reversibly attached to the base plate 2 and removed again. In particular, the band 61 can thus be fastened to the base plate 2 in a simple manner extending either over the right-side support 51 or over the left-side support 52. The band 61 is designed in two parts and the two parts can be connected to each other differently. Thereby, the length of the belt 61 can be set comfortably.

The movement segment 3 comprises a toe support 31 with a slightly rounded support surface adapted to a big toe. Transversely over the support surface of the toe support 31, a fixing belt 32 extends as a fixing device, which is connected at its longitudinal ends with the toe support 31. The fixing belt 32 is designed in two parts analogous to the band 61 of the holding device 6 and thus adjustable in length. Laterally adjacent to the movement segment 3, a side guide 23 extends perpendicular to the right side surface 21 of the base plate 2 upwards.

As can readily be seen in the plan view of FIG. 2, the right-hand surface 21 has a basic shape adapted to a foot sole. In this case, at the point at which the big toe would lie, a recess is formed on the base plate 2 into which the movement segment 3 is inserted. By means of the holding device 6 or of the associated band 61, the right foot of a user can be held on the right-side support 51 in such a way that his big toe lies exactly on the contact surface of the toe support 31 of the movement segment 3. By means of the fixing belt 32, the big toe of the user can be fixed on the movement segment 3. Fig. 3 shows the therapy device 1 from above, wherein the upper plate portion 28 of the base plate 2, the holding device 6 and the pads 5 are removed. It can be seen that the base plate 2 has a hollow interior 27, in which a plurality of components of the therapy device 1 are arranged securely and completely. In particular, in the interior 27 of the base plate 2 of the drive 4 is arranged.

The drive 4 includes an electric motor 42 and a linkage 43. The electric motor 42 is fixed in the base plate 2 via two inserted in corresponding columns of the interior 27 side wings. It has a shaft 421 and an eccentric 422. The eccentric 422 is mounted at a longitudinal end of the shaft 421 thereto.

The linkage 43 has a first rod 431 and a second rod 432, which are connected to one another at one of their longitudinal ends via a pivot joint 436. The hinge 436 allows the first rod 431 and the second rod 432 to be collapsed toward each other at the mentioned longitudinal ends and to describe a variable angle to each other. The first rod 431 extends through a rod guide 26 of the base plate 2 therethrough.

The first rod 431 is connected to the eccentric 422 in the region of its longitudinal end facing away from the second rod via a shaft connector 434. The shaft connector 434 is sandwiched between two coil springs 433 which are wound around the first rod 431. Outwardly, the two coil springs 433 are each held by a spring fixation 435, which is pushed onto the first rod 431 and firmly connected to it.

The axle 41 has a gripping portion 41 1 opposite plug-in portion 412 and the base plate 2 a the insertion portion 412 corresponding axle receptacle 25. The insertion portion 412 is inserted into the axle housing 25. In this case, the insertion section 412 and the axle receptacle 25 can be equipped with corresponding threads, so that the axle bolt 41 can be screwed into the axle receptacle 25.

In the interior 27 of the base plate 2, a controller 45, a power supply 44 and a radio unit 7 are further arranged. The power supply 44 includes a battery 441 and the switch 442. It is with all power consuming components such as in particular the motor 42, the controller 45 and the radio unit 7 is coupled.

The controller 45 controls the motor 42, so that can be set via this movement parameter of the movement segment 3. In addition, the controller 45 is connected to the radio unit 7. Via the radio unit 7, an external portable computer device such as a smartphone can access the controller 45 and adjust or program it so that an application-specific movement program can be implemented. It is also possible to transmit data to the portable computer device, for example data about the course of therapy, via the radio unit 7. This can then evaluate and / or present the transmitted data.

FIGS. 4 to 6 show the therapy device 1 in operation. In this case, in FIG. 4, the drive 4 is deflected so that the support surface of the support element 31 of the movement segment 3 is aligned horizontally. It can be seen that the movement segment has a base 33 which carries the support portion 31. The axle bolt 41 extends through a bore of the base 33 and the movement segment 3 is pivotable about the axle 41 to the base plate 2.

The second rod 432 of the linkage 43 is connected to the base 33 of the movement segment 3 at its longitudinal end facing away from the pivot joint 436. In this case, the second rod 432 is attached to the base 33 offset relative to the axle bolt 41 or the axis of rotation of the movement segment. As a result, the second rod 432 is eccentric, articulated and connected transversely to the axis of rotation of the movement segment 3 with this.

The first rod 431 extends through the shaft connector 434, wherein it is axially movable therethrough. However, this axial movement is absorbed and limited by the coil springs 433. The shaft connector 434 is attached to the eccentric 422 so that it is offset from the shaft 421 and that it is rotatable about its axis. As a result, the first rod 431 is eccentric, articulated and lying transversely to a rotational axis of the shaft 421 connected thereto. The linkage guide 26 comprises in the upper of the plate members 28 formed upper guide nose and a trained in the lower plate members 28 lower Guide nose. The first rod 431 extends between a gap formed by the guide lugs. It is thereby supported vertically and a vertical movement of the first rod 431 can be prevented or minimized by the rod guide 26. As shown in Fig. 5, a rotational movement of the shaft 421 of the motor 42 in the counterclockwise direction causes the shaft connector 434 is moved eccentrically to the axis of rotation of the shaft 421. As a result, an axial movement of the first rod 431 in the direction of the movement segment 3 is caused by the spiral springs 433. As a result, the second rod 432 is also moved, being shifted to the left in FIG. 5 and angled upwards in relation to the first rod 431. As a result, a force with respect to the axle bolt 41 acts eccentrically on the base 33 of the movement segment 3 and this is pivoted upward in the clockwise direction.

In Fig. 5, the side guide 23 is clearly visible. It is panel-shaped and inserted into a corresponding insertion bracket of the base plate 2. The base plate 2 comprises two identical opposite insertion brackets, so that the side guide 23 can be mounted as needed on both sides of the base plate 2. As a result, it can protrude from the left-side surface 21 or from the right-side surface 22 as needed.

Fig. 6 shows the therapy device 1 in a further rotated position. In this case, the motor 42 rotates its shaft 421 further counterclockwise until the shaft connector 434 is eccentric to the axis of rotation on the opposite side so right of the shaft axis. As a result, an axial movement of the first rod 431 in the direction opposite to the movement segment 3 or to the right is caused by the spiral springs 433. As a result, the second rod 432 is also moved, being shifted to the right in FIG. 6 and angled downwards in relation to the first rod 431. As a result, a force with respect to the axle bolt 41 acts eccentrically on the base 33 of the movement segment 3 and this is pivoted counterclockwise downward.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the rotational movement driven by the motor 42 generates a translatory or axial movement of the linkage 43, whereby an up and down or back and forth pivoting movement of the movement segment 3 is generated. In this case, the transmission of the rotational movement the shaft 421 of the motor 42 cushioned transmitted to the first rod 431 of the rod 43. This allows a relatively gentle resistance-adapted motion triggering of the movement segment 3. In this way, a fixed on the support surface of the movement segment 3 big toe held on the right side support 51 right foot comfortably moved and thus treated.
