The present invention should be construed in accordance with the meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of the present invention.

Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all the technical ideas of the present invention. Therefore, It is to be understood that equivalents and modifications are possible.

2 is a perspective view of Walker for mobility assistance and gait training of a hemiplegic handicap according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the walker for the assistant mobility and gait training of the hemiplegic disabled person according to the present invention includes a lower portion 100 provided with wheels for movement of a walker, a body portion 200 ), And an upper portion 300 that can support the forearm as well as the wrist of the hemiplegic handicap.

The lower part 100, the body part 200 and the upper part 300 constituting the walker for the assistant mobility and gait training of the hemiplegic handicapped person according to the present invention will be described in detail below.

First, the lower portion 100 has a horizontal axis 110 and a vertical axis 120 at both ends of the horizontal axis 110.
At this time, the horizontal axis 110 may be longer than the vertical axis 120.

The longitudinal axis 120 is coupled to both ends of the transverse axis 110 and a central portion of the transverse axis 110, and the wheels 130 are coupled to both ends of the transverse axis 110.
At this time, the wheel 130 may be movably coupled in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the transverse shaft 110.

The body 200 includes a fixed body 210, a moving body 220, and a fixing screw 230. The body 210 includes a fixed body 210, a moving body 220, and a fixing screw 230.

That is, the body 200 having the above-mentioned structure is fixed by the fixing screw 230 in accordance with the body of the person with hemiplegic disorder while the moving body 220 having a different diameter is accommodated in the fixed body 210, This is possible.

The upper portion 300 includes a handrail 310, a forearm support 320, and a brake lever 330.

A center portion of the hand rail 310 is rotatably coupled to a distal end of the moving body 220 of the body 200 by a predetermined angle.

The forearm pedestal 320 is coupled to the upper portion of the forearm pedestal stator 321 at a portion where the handrail 310 and the moving body 220 are coupled.

The forearm pedestal stator 321 is inserted into the hand rail 310 in a ring shape to move up and down or to rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. This is done by tightening the screws.

At this time, it is preferable that the forearm support 320 and the forearm support stator 321 are rotatably coupled by a predetermined angle.

3, when the handrail 310 rotates at a predetermined angle from the distal end of the moving body 220, the forearm support 320 and the forearm support stator 321 are rotated by a predetermined angle So that the inconvenience caused when the wrist is bent can be solved.

3 is a view showing that the upper part of the walker for the assistant mobility and gait training of the hemiplegia disabled person according to the present invention is rotated by a predetermined angle.

The brake lever 330 is coupled to the handrail 310 like the forearm pedestal 320 and is coupled to the upper portion of the forearm pedestal 320 in the same manner as the forearm pedestal stator 321 Can be combined.

The forearm pedestal 320 and the brake lever 330 are not necessarily fixed by the fixing method of the forearm pedestal stator 321 but may be fixed by other methods.

The brake lever 330 is connected to a wheel 130 provided on the lower portion 100 by a brake cable so that the brake provided on the wheel 130 is operated according to the operation of the disabled person with hemiplegia, So that the walker can be braked for mobility assistance and gait training.

The brake cable connected to the brake lever 330 is wired into the body 200 and the lower portion 100 to reach the wheel 130 and is connected to the brake.

At this time, the brake lever 330 is provided to prevent the user from having a walker for mobility assistance and walking training of the hemiplegia disabled person according to the present invention while being moved, holding the brake continuously for a long time, And a brake fixing button 331 for continuously maintaining the operating state of the brake.

Meanwhile, the brake system of the wheel 130 may be selectively applied to a V brake, a disc brake, or a brake system in which a resistor contacts the ground as shown in FIG.

4, there is shown a brake system in which a resistive body is brought into contact with the ground. As shown in FIG. 4, the front end of the forearm support 320 or a separate When the weight is applied through the handle, the distal end portion of the column is lowered to the floor to function as a brake.

When the body weight is removed, the pillar connected to the body 200 is separated from the ground originally by an elastic body such as a spring to release the brake.

The operation of the walker for the assistant mobility and gait training of the hemiplegia disabled person having the above-described configuration according to the present invention will be described.

When the walker for the assistant mobility and gait training of the person with hemiplegia according to the present invention moves in the direction of the arrow, the mobility assistant and the gait training device are positioned beside the predominant side of the walker and can move to a standing state holding the knob.

Particularly, the position of the user moves in a state standing in the area near the horizontal axis 110 of the "┠" structure.

At this time, the user adjusts the angle between the handrail body 200 and / or the angle between the handrail 210 and the fore and aft pedestal 320 according to individual body characteristics before starting the movement and gait training.

In addition, the height adjustment function of the body part 200 adjusts the height by moving the moving body 220 accommodated in the fixed body 210 up and down in accordance with the user's body and fixing the fixed body with the fixing screw 230 .

In addition, when the user uses the walker equipment for the mobility training and walking training of the hemiplegic disabled person according to the present invention to perform a movement or gait training while stopping for a while, the user holds the brake lever 330 by pulling the brake lever The connected brake is operated to cause the wheel 130 to brake, and when the moving or walking training is started again, the brake lever 330 is released to allow the wheel to move.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It is to be understood that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
