Description

{APPARATUS FOR REHABILITATING JOINT}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a joint rehabilitation treatment apparatus, and more particularly, to a joint rehabilitation treatment apparatus, To prevent an unexpected injury to the muscles of the shoulder and the like.

In general, hemiplegia can occur due to movement disorders and sensory deficits due to central nervous system injuries such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or cerebral palsy, imbalance in posture, lack of physical self-awareness, It is one of the exercise paralysis that can not use the muscles of the right size to generate appropriate strength at the required moment.

In order to treat hemiplegic patients having the above symptoms, the neural development therapy approach is used to make posture adjustments and movements through a one-to-one exercise therapy with the therapist, to control pain using electric therapy, Muscle conditioning training, stretching, balance training and so on through the patient's own exercise will be treated.

In addition, the one-to-one therapy with the therapist gives psychological stability to the patient, and the efficiency of rehabilitation treatment is excellent. However, due to the psychological anxiety of the patient, the therapist is suffering from excessive work stress, There was a problem that the treatment cost was high.

Because of the above-mentioned problem, treatment using a rehabilitation treatment apparatus is performed, and a rehabilitation training is performed in which a rehabilitation treatment apparatus is attached to the upper limb of the affected side in a posture in which the patient is lying on the bed or in a sitting position.

In order to solve the above problem, first, the rehabilitation treatment apparatus, which is the above-mentioned method, is used to rehabilitate the upper limbs of the affected side, and secondly, the joint exercises are performed with the help of a third party, There has been a problem that it must wait.

In addition, as the rehabilitation treatment is performed only by the patient 's own will, the patient who has weak willpower fails to fill the rehabilitation treatment time, and the efficiency of the rehabilitation treatment is lowered due to interruption.

In order to solve this problem, the applicant of the present invention has disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2011-0010256 (title of the invention: "Hand joint rehabilitation training apparatus"), "a hand holding stand for holding a patient's hand, An arm rest that rests on an arm of the arm rest, a support provided on a lower portion of the arm rest, a hand rest that is provided between the support and the hand rest so that the hand rest is rotated according to the inflow and outflow of air, And a control means including an airbag and an air hose connected to the air inlet hose and having an air pump for introducing or discharging air into or from the airbag.

As a result of testing prototypes of such a rehabilitation training apparatus, it is very difficult to perform rehabilitation according to the attitude of the patient receiving the rehabilitation treatment or the change of the posture of the patient. Also, I found that it was quite inconvenient to receive. In addition, it has been found that the body center of gravity is suddenly shifted toward the front side of the patient due to uncomfortable posture and paralyzed joints, which may lead to unexpected muscle damage of the shoulder and the like.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2011-0010256 (published on Mar. 21, 2011), title of the invention:
