Generally, physical therapy refers to an action that is performed for therapeutic purposes through exercise therapy using various apparatuses, not depending on chemotherapy such as surgery or drugs.

Physiotherapy devices include a device for irradiating infrared rays, a low-frequency electric stimulation device, and a fitness device for treating joints to relax the contracted muscles. However, active forms The physiotherapy apparatuses of the present invention are small in size, and most of them are devices that repeatedly induce the operation along the mechanism operated by the electric motor.

In other words, physical therapy is necessary for people with weakened unit muscular strength or low walking ability due to surgery. For people who have difficulty in walking for long periods or who are hardened with weakened joint strength and unit strength, It is a necessary treatment method for gradual recovery.

Particularly, in the case of fracture patients, physical treatment is required after unloading the cast or fixation device because of the characteristic that the cast is held for a long time in a state where the movement is limited by the casting or fixing device for the bony union of the fracture site. Sudden movement should not be given.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the unit muscle strength continuously for the elderly whose aging is weakened by weakening of the walking power due to aging, or for the person whose walking ability is weakened due to weakness of the unit muscle strength, It is necessary to make the movement of the joints of these limited patients gradual, so that they return to normal life after treatment.

The walking ability can be improved when the hip, knee, and ankle movements are smooth, and each joint is wrapped around a soft palate bone joint, muscles, and tendons, and rehabilitation athletes It is required to be able to impart effective motion to the element.

However, the conventionally used rehabilitation exercise device is designed to perform a mechanical exercise repeatedly and mechanically repeatedly at the joint region. It is noted that the walking ability can be improved by gradually recovering the muscle strength by the motion of the joint, It is difficult to use for patients who are uncomfortable to move their arms and legs because they use their own strengths. Therefore, there is a need for a physiotherapy method which is necessary for a patient who has to undergo physical therapy and who is difficult to force himself / herself with his / her arms and legs.

As a related art, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1006396 (registered on Dec. 30, 2010) discloses a method of detecting a repulsive force when a part of a body having a joint part performs a bending motion and detecting a range of bending motion of an arm or a knee joint The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for treating joints that can adaptively adjust the speed of a joint or a joint, and is capable of detecting the repulsive force when a leg or an arm flexes by measuring a power consumption of a pressure sensor or a motor, The bending angle and the motion speed of the joint can be actively controlled.

However, the above-mentioned prior art has a problem that can not be applied to the rehabilitation treatment of the upper extremity. Due to the individual differences in muscle mass, injury severity, and weight of each patient, . In addition, it is difficult to precisely check the exact exercise intensity and the exercise execution condition for each patient, and the motor may be continuously operated even in the case of stiffness or the like, leading to injury, and individual management according to the patient is not easy.

Referring to FIG. 6, in the upper and lower exercise method for rehabilitation therapy according to the present invention, it is determined whether or not the external memory 140 is connected through the controller 110 in a state where the power is turned on for driving first (S10). In the present invention, the motion record data is temporarily stored in the memory unit 120 after the motion is completed. When the external memory 140 is connected to the control unit through the connection member, The exercise record data stored in the memory unit 120 is stored in the external memory 140. [ In this case, the motion record data temporarily stored in the memory unit 120 can be automatically deleted, and also can be deleted through manual control as necessary, and data can be continuously stored in the memory unit through selection .

Then, when the user connects his or her external memory 140 to the control unit through the connection member, the control unit determines the connection of the external memory and, in response to the exercise condition finally selected by the user just before the exercise, 130 are set. The motion condition may be a motion position (upper limb motion, lower limb motion or upper and lower limb motion), a motion angle (upper angle, lower angle), or a motion pattern (automatic operation, active operation) When the motion position is previously set in the upper limb motion and the motion angle is 10 degrees in the case of the upper angle and 15 degrees in the case of the lower angle and the motion mode is selected in the automatic operation mode and stored in the external memory, The exercise part of the present invention is automatically set in the previous exercise condition.

As described above, when the external memory is connected in step S10, movement is automatically started in a state that the exercise condition stored in the external memory is automatically selected (S20). When the automatic exercise of FIG. 8 is taken as an example, The exercise will begin.

At this time, if the external memory is not connected in step S10, the user inputs the user information through the touch panel of the input unit 150 or the display unit 160 (S11). Then, The motion condition can be manually selected (S12). However, in the case where the previous exercise is not performed through the external memory, the exercise record data is temporarily stored in the built-in memory 120, and in the case where the exercise record data temporarily stored is not deleted, It is also possible that the exercise unit is automatically set to the previous exercise condition based on the previous exercise record data.

The active motion is a motion in which the user voluntarily overcomes the resistance of the servo motor by using his / her own force, and is characterized in that the forward rotation, reverse rotation, start and stop buttons are not required unlike the automatic movement.

If it is determined in step S30 that an abnormal situation has occurred in step S30, it is determined that the abnormal condition has not occurred in step S20, (S41), the driving of the servo motor is stopped to protect the user. In a state where the servo motor is temporarily stopped during automatic operation (manual operation), driving of the servo motor can be restarted again after a predetermined time, and at the same time, driving of the servo motor is gradually increased in response to the user's rigid state . At this time, in the stopped state, the exercise time is also stopped.

If there is no abnormal situation after resuming after pausing, the exercise will be completed after the exercise has been performed for the set exercise time.

Thereafter, the exercise record is temporarily stored in the memory unit 120 as data, and when the user selects the save function while the external memory is connected, the exercise record data temporarily stored in the memory unit is stored in the external memory unit And the temporarily stored exercise record data may be automatically deleted when stored in the external memory 140 (S70), and the state stored in the memory unit 120 may be maintained according to the user's selection. If the user wishes to exercise again after the exercise record data is stored in the external memory, the exercise set is automatically set according to the previous exercise record data.

In the case where the user does not want to exercise, the exercise record data may be continuously stored in the memory unit 120. If the user wishes to exercise again, .

FIG. 10 is a screen displayed when the exercise record button is clicked on the main screen of FIG. 7 while the exercise is completed according to the present invention, FIG. 11 is a screen displayed when the exercise record management button is clicked on the main screen of FIG. When the USB storage function button is clicked, the motion record data temporarily stored in the memory unit 120 can be stored in the USB, which is an external memory, and a delete button is also provided so that the motion record data can be deleted according to the user's selection .
