Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for exercising upper limbs capable of helping patient′s evaluation and the recovery of diseases by helping muscle strengthening and neurological recovery through the pulling and loosening of a support piece according to the operation of a cylinder to perform the joint movement of fingers and wrists, and helping muscle strengthening of the fingers and wrist and neurological recovery. The apparatus for exercising upper limbs prevents cerebral apoplexy or complications of patients with nervous system injuries like spinal cord injuries, peripheral nerve injuries, and cerebral palsy; assists the movement of the upper limbs necessary in daily life; and allows exercise therapy for damage to the nervous system.

Description

[0001] MOTION APPARATUS ORTHOSIS FOR UPPER EXTREMITY [0002]

The present invention relates to a method for restoring muscles and nervous systems of the fingers and wrists by pulling and loosening the support piece, This is an exercise device of the upper limb that helps the patient to recover his / her own disease by helping him / her. It is intended to prevent the complication of the nervous system injured patient such as stroke, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury, cerebral palsy, The present invention relates to an upper limb exercising apparatus capable of facilitating movement of the upper limbs and exercise treatment of a nervous system injury.

Korea has a very high incidence of stroke during illness, and recently, few cases of cerebral palsy have been caused by premature babies. A robotic upper limb orthosis has been developed and used to support the behavior of patients with neurological impairments such as stroke, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve damage, and cerebral palsy.

In such a stroke or Parkinson's disease, a variety of physical changes occur depending on the condition, for example, the hands and feet are paralyzed and ogradation occurs. These paralysis and ogre can cause pain when the muscles or joints become stiff and move, and it can cause disruption even if the nerve is restored.

Therefore, it is very important to maintain maximum exercise capacity by promoting blood circulation and nerve communication by constantly massage or moving the hand or foot such as paralysis or ogre. These exercise treatments may maintain or even improve the athletic performance of the patient.

There are various kinds of exercise equipment used for the above-mentioned exercise therapy, and each person has his / her own effect and helps the rehabilitation of the patient. However, there are many conventional exercising apparatuses for rehabilitating the main body parts such as the back of the body, the legs or the neck, but there is no proper finger exercise device for professionally rehiring the fingers.

Therefore, the conventional robot arm type orthosis developed in the Korean Patent Registration No. 0898745 was inconvenient to move, impossible to move, and complex in appearance, bulky and heavy.

For example, Koeneman, Edward J., Koeneman, James B., Herring, Donald E., Schultz, Robert S., et al. We have introduced a motion recovery system that includes a joint position measurement system, a force sensing measurement system, an EMG measurement system, a neuromuscular low-level stimulation system, a controller, and a display device. However, this is inconvenient, fell.

In terms of function, conventional orthosis can only be used in the chronic phase, and there is a problem that muscle weakness or muscle atrophy may occur at the time of long-term wearing because it does not have the function of active treatment and evaluation, even if the patient is assisted by passive.

For example, in the case of a stroke patient, it is difficult to straighten the wrist due to the flexion of the wrist due to severe stiffness, but this problem can not be solved by the conventional robot assistant alone.

In other words, the leg orthosis used in the past was used only as a simple orthosis rather than a treatment or evaluation concept, and it was inconvenient that the patient could not use the orthosis in an outdoor or obstructed room because the bulb was very large and heavy. There was a problem that it was difficult to use an orthosis.

Therefore, it is required to develop an orthosis that minimizes the obstacle in patient's activity because it is lighter and simpler in structure than the upper leg orthosis and can be used indoors as well as outdoors.

In addition, the concept of therapy and exercise in addition to the auxiliary concept of orthotic devices, the development of exercise devices that can speed up the recovery speed of the patient so that they can see the effect of treatment that can be strong and continuous, .

In addition, development of an upper extremity exercise device that can passively assist in the acute phase or severe functional disorder, and to actively assist and treat the chronic phase, the rehabilitation phase, or the recovery phase is required to be removed from the passive orthosis of the chronic phase.

Disclosure of the Invention The present invention has been conceived to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to prevent complications of nervous system injuries such as stroke, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury and cerebral palsy, And an upper limb exercise device capable of strengthening muscular strength and restoring the nervous system through exercise therapy.
