Description

[0001] EXERCISE APPARATUS [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a fitness device capable of simultaneously training muscles of an arm and a leg.

Hemiplegia refers to a state in which the muscular strength of the upper and lower limbs of the right or left side decreases together and can not move. In general, hemiplegia is called hemiplegia. Hemiplegia is caused by a disability in the cortex, the cortex, the cortex, the inner capsule, and the brainstem, which control the veterinary movement (arbitrary movement). Then, And most of the spinal cord at the border crossing, paralysis occurs on the other side of the disorder. In general, hemiplegia is caused by cerebral vascular disorder, ie, stroke. In addition, it may be caused by brain tumor, multiple sclerosis, head trauma, brain abscess.

Stroke is a disease that causes physical disability in the age group of 60 years or older. Except for rare cases, the lesion is limited to one side of the brain, and typically accompanies paralysis and dysfunction of the opposite side with brain damage do.

In order to rehabilitate upper limb patients with strokes, physiotherapists generally have to perform passive exercise therapy, which requires a significant amount of effort by the therapist.

The most important aspect of hemiplegic treatment is symmetrical movement, and an important factor of this symmetrical movement is weight bearing. It is widely used for hemiplegia treatment. It includes flexion flexing with the joints of the elbows, wrists, and knees as an axis, extensions extending in the opposite direction, inwardly rotating the upper or lower limbs pronation), as well as supination, which rotates outward. The sick side of a hemiplegic patient is called the affected side, and the uninvolved side of the patient is called the unaffected side. In case of hemiplegia, there is a problem that the side of the hemisphere becomes deformed with time.

Hemiplegia patients compensate for the need to help the affected side of the brain to work on the affected side to compensate for the movement occurs during a long time to change.

Failure to move the weight to the affected side also suggests that the affected side of the brain is in danger and prevents it from moving.

Conventional hemiplegic rehabilitation devices mainly deal with shoulder or elbow, and there is nothing that can move both arms and legs together with the whole body.

Conventional upper limb rehabilitation devices of the hemiplegic have symmetrical movement in elbow and shoulder movement, but only one exercise function can be performed by one rehabilitation device.

Therefore, conventionally, in the case of rehabilitation therapy for hemiplegia, there is a problem that it is inconvenient to be treated by moving to another rehabilitation apparatus for each treatment requiring a combination of upper and lower limbs.

Therefore, it is inevitable to develop a device capable of achieving the effect of whole body exercise while exercising both hands and both arms at the same time.
