Portable rehabilitation equipment

The present invention relates to a rehabilitation device, and more particularly to a portable rehabilitation device that uses a force applying member to drive a main link back and forth along a traveling track.

Taiwan’s entry into the world’s life-threatening organization has been defined as an ageing society for more than fifteen years. Coupled with the long-term use of computers and other technological products by modern people, joint diseases due to natural aging or long-term posture problems are increasing and widespread. Exist in all ages.

If the joint lesions are not properly treated, the function of the limbs will be permanently lost, which will not only affect the patient's daily living ability, but also cause the burden of the caregiver and the social cost. Therefore, the patient will be restored to the rehabilitation of the limbs of the patient. Some activities are also important.

At present, the rehabilitation equipment commonly used in the market is mainly fixed on the special equipment for rehabilitation. After assembly, it is bulky and takes up a lot of space. Therefore, most patients choose to go to the hospital or clinic for rehabilitation treatment. However, The patient is not busy with work and has no time to see a doctor. It is for those who are sick in bed or inconvenient to move. It is impossible to regularly follow the rehabilitation plan and give up the rehabilitation treatment, resulting in an infinite vicious circle of the patient itself and even the caregiver.

Therefore, it provides a small and non-occupying space, portable and easy to use and can be applied to the limbs of the rehabilitation device, in order to replace the bulky rehabilitation equipment, so that patients who need rehabilitation are no longer limited by time or space. Cause In fact, it can fully match the progress of rehabilitation, which is the goal of the industry.

In order to solve the foregoing problems, the main object of the present invention is to provide a portable rehabilitation device which is not only small in size but also small in space, portable and easy to use, and can be applied to limbs to replace bulky rehabilitation equipment.

With this configuration, the urging member 15 can be slid on the traveling rail 13 through the main link 17, and the main body 11 can be adjusted to the relative angle with the base 18 through the adjustable bearing (see FIG. 4), so that the user can grasp or When the urging element 15 is stepped on, the muscles can be stretched and the joints can be moved, and the muscles to be trained can be switched by changing the relative angle between the main body 11 and the base 18, thereby achieving the effect of multi-joint rehabilitation.

The traveling track 13 is disposed in the main body 11. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the traveling track 13 can be a linear track or a curved track, and can adopt a linear track or a curved track for different rehabilitation needs of the user, but Not limited to this.

The urging member 15 is coupled to the traveling rail 13 via the main link 17, and when the user grips or steps on the urging member 15, the urging member 15 will travel on the traveling rail 13 due to the force, and hit the stroke. After the base 18 of the end point is pulled back, the user's muscle stretching and joint activities are assisted to achieve the effect of rehabilitation.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the force applying component 15 can be a pedal or a grip, which can meet the needs of the upper limb or the lower limb of the rehabilitation user according to different rehabilitation parts, but not limited thereto, as long as it is convenient. The user can grasp with both hands or step on both feet.

The base 18 provides abutment of the force applying element 15 at the end of the stroke to ensure that the urging element 15 does not run too long on the travel track 13 during use by the rehabilitation user to avoid unnecessary consumption of force. Or even a muscle strain caused by improper force.

Referring to FIG. 4, the main body 11 is coupled to the base 18 through an adjustable bearing (not shown), so that the main body can adjust the relative angle α with the base 18 through the adjustable bearing, where the relative angle α ranges from 0°. Between ~90°, it is subject to user needs. Further, the main body 11 is provided with a traveling rail 13, and one end of the main link 17 is coupled to the traveling rail 13, and the other end of the main connecting rod 17 is coupled to the urging member 15, that is, the main body 11 is transmitted through the traveling rail 13 and the main The link 17 is indirectly coupled to the force applying element 15. Accordingly, the urging member 15 can adjust the relative angle with the base 18 by the configuration as described above, thereby achieving the effect of switching the muscle group targeted by the user during rehabilitation to achieve a half-time effect.

In a preferred embodiment, the portable rehabilitation device 1 of the present invention further includes an auxiliary link 151 having one end connected to the main link 17 and the other end connected to the main body 11 for stabilizing the main link 17 The force generated during the movement on the traveling rail 13 is uneven, and the service life of the rehabilitation equipment 1 is further increased.

Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B , which are schematic diagrams showing the operation mode of a preferred embodiment of the portable rehabilitation device 1 of the present invention.
