Description

The utility model relates to medicine, specifically to mechanotherapy, and is intended to strengthen the muscles of the lower extremities and develop movements in the process of rehabilitation of patients after injuries and fractures of the lower leg, as well as in case of ankle joint disease.

The closest invention to the claimed utility model in terms of technical nature and circuit design is the Electromechanical Vertebral Simulator device, comprising a stationary body, a tool tray connected to it through a carriage, an electromechanical drive and control means, the carriage being installed with the possibility of reciprocal transverse harmonic movements relative to the spine direction, and the lodgement is made with hollows of anatomical shape to accommodate the lower extremities (RU, US Pat nt №2259185, 7 IPC A61N 1/02, published on: 27.08.2005).

This device is intended for use with the purpose of therapeutic and prophylactic effects on the spine, as well as to stimulate the immune system and oxygen saturation of the body. Compared with the proposed utility model, it is less perfect, since this device does not provide for the design of the ability to reflex vibration stimulation of the ankle joint zone and does not provide for mechanical stimulation of the muscular system of the legs, as well as enhancing metabolic processes in the bones, joints and ligaments of the legs due to compression massage.

The utility model is aimed at providing such technical results as:

1. Increasing the therapeutic effect by combining vibration, horizontal vibrational movements with compression pneumatic massage.

2. Eliminates or minimizes damage to the joint and muscles during their development. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The indicated technical results are achieved in that a utility model comprising a housing, a lodgement, with the possibility of horizontal oscillatory movements, an electromechanical drive, a compressor connected to pneumatic boots and femoral cuffs is installed on the base of the housing, the electric motor is equipped with a mechanism that converts rotational movements into horizontally translational movements of the lodgement , and on the basis of the lodgement, a vibroelement is attached, and the compressor, vibroelement and vibration speed are adjusted The lodgement is carried out by the electronic unit.

It is known that any damage to the joints and the place of damage after a bone fracture is accompanied by swelling of tissues, including periarticular. Lymphatic and venous outflows suffer. The therapeutic effect is carried out by combining the action of horizontal vibrational movements of the legs, pressure pneumatic massage and vibration exposure in the ankle joints, as well as exposure to pressure femoral pneumatic cuffs in the thigh. When exposed to horizontal oscillatory movements of the lodgement, an increase in mobility in the ankle joint occurs. With the vibrational effect of a vibroelement, reflex mechanostimulation of articular tissues, muscles, and bones of the lower leg occurs. In addition, there is an increase in the outflow of lymphatic fluid and venous blood from the periarticular tissues and lower leg. Also, compression massage, using pneumatic boots and cuffs, leads to stimulation of the outflow of lymphatic fluid and venous blood from the muscular-ligamentous apparatus of the legs. With the combined effect of all three factors, horizontal and vibrational movements, vibrational impact and compression massage, the metabolic processes in the bones and joints of the lower leg are strengthened, which leads to their accelerated recovery.

Figure 2 is a side view.

The device consists of a housing 1, on the base of which 2 an electric motor 3 is attached, connected to the lodgement 4 by means of a mechanism 5 that converts the rotational movement of the electric motor into a horizontally translational lodgement, a compressor 6 connected by pneumatic hoses 7 with boots 8 and cuffs 9, an electronic compressor control unit 10, an electric motor and a vibroelement connected to the control panel 11, a power supply 12. The bed 4 contains hollows 14 for placing the lower extremities, made in anatomical form and serving ue for fixing shins lower limbs when moving, and at the base of the recess 13 is mounted vibration elements, the vibration transmitting effect on the cradle as a whole.

The utility model works as follows.

The control panel 11 is placed next to the user's hand, and the lower extremities, shod in pneumatic boots 8 and femoral cuffs 9, are placed in depressions 14 on the tool tray 4. The device is turned on. The lodgement produces horizontal oscillatory movements of the legs, resulting in increased mobility in the ankle joint. Compressor 6 pumps air through pneumatic hoses 7 into pneumatic boots 8 and femoral cuffs 9. When filled with air, boots 8 and femoral cuffs 9 exert a pressing massage effect on the lower limbs of the patient. As a result, there is an enhanced elimination of swelling of the damaged limb. The femoral cuffs 9 are made of rubber or other suitable material, as are the pneumatic boots 8. They have free cavities for pumping with air. Simultaneously with the oscillatory horizontal movements, the vibration element 13 installed inside the lodgement 4 starts to work, connected to the power supply unit 12, the electronic control unit 10 and the control panel 11. As a result of its work, the tissues of the ankle joint and lower leg are mechanically stimulated. The control panel 11 and the electronic control unit 10 allow you to turn on various operating modes of the tool tray, pneumatic boot 8 and femoral cuffs 9, as well as the vibration element 13. The mechanism 5 converts the rotational movement of the electric motor 3 into a horizontally translational movement of the tool tray.

The utility model has three healing components:

1. Oscillatory horizontal movements of the lower extremities.

2. Vibration effect in saktsentuatsii in the ankle joint and Achilles tendon.

3. Pressor pneumatic massage.

Their combination leads to accelerated obtaining the necessary therapeutic effect.

The claimed invention has undoubted advantages over solutions known from the prior art. The impact of the device on a person during rehabilitation treatment is to reduce the swelling of the damaged limb, increase mobility in the ankle joint and partially in the joints of the foot. Strengthening recovery processes at the site of damage.

Applicable for the rehabilitation of patients after injuries and fractures of the lower leg and foot. To restore the lower limb, ankle and foot joints with arthrosis and arthritis of post-traumatic and other origin.
