Abstract

The invention relates to a training device for improving the vestibular sense or the sense of balance of a human being. Said device comprises a platform (1) with two arc-shaped rockers (2, 3; 2', 3') that are curved towards the floor, in such a way that a rocking see-saw movement can be carried out on the platform (1). The angular position of the rockers (2, 3; 2', 3') can be adjusted about a vertical axis (4, 5), from a transversal direction in relation to the platform (1) into the longitudinal direction, said adjustment taking place in an anti-parallel manner through respective identical angles. For this purpose, the rockers (2, 3; 2', 3') are rigidly mounted on revolving discs (6, 7; 6', 7'), which are rotatably mounted in turn underneath the platform (1). The revolving discs (6, 7; 6', 7') engage with one another by means of toothed gearing, or have a belt or cable drive (8) with a figure-of-eight loop.

Description

TRAININGSGERÄT ZUR VERBESSERUNG DES GLEICHGEWICHTSSINNES TRAI NI NGSGERÄ TZ U R IMPROVEMENT OF BALANCE
TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Trainingsgerät zur Verbesserung und zum Training des Gleichgewichtssinnes eines Menschen, insbesondere nach Schlaganfällen, mit einem Standbrett, das auf der Unterseite zwei beispielsweise in Form von Kreissegmenten gekrümmte Kufen in der Art einer Wiege aufweist, wobei das Standbrett an den Kufen abrollend in eine Schaukelbewegung versetzbar ist.The invention relates to a training device for improving and training the sense of balance of a person, in particular after strokes, with a stand board that has two runners curved in the manner of a cradle, for example in the form of circular segments, the stand board rolling on the runners in a rocking movement is displaceable.
STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART
Zur Verbesserung oder Wiedererlangung des Gleichgewichtssinnes sind Schaukelbretter bekannt. Ein Standbrett mit einer meist rutschfesten Standauflage ist um eine Schwenkachse beweglich. Aus der US 5 584 787 A ist beispielsweise ein Gleichgewichts-Trainingsgerät bekannt, das unter einem Standbrett nebeneinander angeordnete Kugelsegmente und oberhalb derselben jeweils Drehscheiben aufweist, wobei Schaukelbewegungen möglich sind. In der US 5 897 464 A ist ein Gerät beschrieben, das über ein auf einer Art gekrümmten Kufe schwenkbar gelagertes Standbrett verfügt. Die DE 15 78 552 A behandelt ein Gerät, das zwei Kufen mit gekrümmten Standflächen und weiters voneinander unabhängig in bestimmten Winkeln verschwenkbare Standplatten aufweist. Wenn man das Standbrett besteigt, wird es sich zur Seite neigen. Diese Neigung kann durch Gewichtsverlagerung neutralisiert werden. Durch Veränderung der Standposition und durch Körperbewegungen kann ein harmonisches, kontrolliertes Schaukeln erreicht werden. Es ist klar, dass etwa im Therapiebereich während der Rehabilitation nach Krankheiten wie Schlaganfällen, Trainingsgeräte eingesetzt werden müssen, die leicht beherrschbar sind, also nur geringe Instabilität bewirken. Dies wird durch einen sehr flachen Kurvenverlauf der Kufen erreicht. Die Kreisradien der Kreissegmente sind also groß. Je kleiner diese Radien sind, desto schwieriger wird es, das Gleichgewicht auf dem Standbrett zu erreichen und zu halten. Eine flexible Anpassung an unterschiedliche Anforderungen des Benutzers ist nicht möglich.Rocking boards are known for improving or regaining the sense of balance. A stand board with a mostly non-slip stand support can be moved around a swivel axis. From US 5 584 787 A, for example, an equilibrium training device is known which has spherical segments arranged next to one another under a standing board and, in each case, turntables above the same, rocking movements being possible. US Pat. No. 5,897,464 A describes a device which has a stand board which is pivotably mounted on a kind of curved runner. DE 15 78 552 A deals with a device which has two runners with curved standing surfaces and furthermore stand plates which can be pivoted independently of one another at certain angles. If you climb the stand board, it will tilt to the side. This tendency can be neutralized by shifting weight. A harmonious, controlled swing can be achieved by changing the standing position and body movements. It is clear that, for example, in the area of therapy during rehabilitation after illnesses such as strokes, exercise equipment must be used that is easy to control, so that it causes little instability. This is done by a very flat curve of the runners reached. The circle radii of the circle segments are therefore large. The smaller these radii are, the more difficult it is to achieve and maintain balance on the stand board. A flexible adaptation to different user requirements is not possible.
OFFENBARUNG DER ERFINDUNGDISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, eine Anpassung der Stabilität, also des Schwierigkeitsgrades, um auf dem Standbrett die Balance zu halten, an die Bedürfnisse des Heilungsfortschrittes zu ermöglichen oder - im Trainingsfall - um auch beim gesunden Menschen eine Steigerung des Schwierigkeitsgrades nach einem Trainingsplan zu ermöglichen. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die zwei Kufen jeweils um nebeneinander angeordnete parallele vertikale Achsen insbesondere gegensinnig zueinander verdrehbar an dem Standbrett in der Längsmitte des Standbrettes gelagert sind, wobei die für das Schaukeln wirk- same Krümmung als Projektion auf eine Normalebene zur Standebene auf dem Standbrett veränderbar und auf diese Weise der Stabilitätsgrad des Standbrettes einstellbar ist. Wenn die Kufen einem Kreisbogen folgen und quer zum Standbrett ausgerichtet sind, dann ergibt sich für den Benutzer der geringste Schwierigkeitsgrad infolge der flachen Krümmung. Die konvergente Schrägstellung dieser Kufen gegenüber der erstgenannten Grundstellung bewirkt einen Effekt im Sinne einer steileren, stärkeren Krümmung, weil die Projektion der beiden konvergierenden Kufen auf die Normalebene zur Schwenk- oder Abroll- achse bei der Schaukelbewegung zur Wirkung kommt. Im Extremfall könnten die Kufen um je 90° aus der ursprünglichen Querlage verdreht werden. Sie liegen dann auf der Mittellinie des Standbrettes, wodurch das Brett äußerst leicht nach links oder rechts kippt. Eine hoch belastbare Konstruktion sieht vor, dass jede Kufe auf einer Drehscheibe fest angeordnet ist und dass jede Dreh- scheibe an der Unterseite des Standbrettes flächig anliegt und um ein Drehlager gegenüber dem Standbrett verdrehbar ist. Die Kufen können von Holzbrettern gebildet werden, die stirnseitig (kreis-) rund zu Kreissegmenten ausgesägt sind. Diese Vollholzkufen stehen auf einer Durchmesserlinie senkrecht zu den Drehscheiben. Eine gegenläufige Verdrehung aus der Querlage in eine spiegelbildlich Schrägstellung kann durch einzelnes Verdrehen erreicht werden. Es ist zweckmäßig, wenn die Drehscheiben kinematisch, z.B. durch Formschluss über Verzah- nungen oder kraftschlüssig über Riemen- oder Seiltriebe rotierend miteinander verbunden und durch die Drehwinkel der beiden Kufen zur Schwenkachse bzw. Längsmittelachse des Standbrettes synchron und gegenläufig zueinander einstellbar sind. Bei Riemen- oder Seiltrieb erfolgt die Umschlingung der beiden Drehscheiben überkreuzt in Achterform. Dadurch werden spiegelbildliche Winkelstellungen erreicht. Mit einer kämmenden Verzahnung an den Rändern der Drehscheiben wird diese Synchronisation ebenfalls erreicht.The invention aims at adapting the stability, i.e. the level of difficulty, in order to keep the balance on the standing board, to allow for the progress of healing or - in the case of training - to enable the level of difficulty in healthy people to be increased according to a training plan , This is achieved in that the two runners are mounted on the stand board in the longitudinal center of the stand board, in each case rotatably about mutually parallel vertical axes, in particular in opposite directions, the curvature effective for the rocking being projected onto a normal plane to the stand plane on the stand board changeable and in this way the degree of stability of the standing board is adjustable. If the runners follow an arc of a circle and are aligned transversely to the stand board, the user has the least degree of difficulty due to the flat curvature. The convergent inclination of these runners with respect to the first-mentioned basic position has an effect in the sense of a steeper, stronger curvature, because the projection of the two converging runners onto the normal plane to the swiveling or rolling axis comes into effect during the rocking movement. In extreme cases, the skids could be rotated 90 ° from the original transverse position. They then lie on the center line of the standing board, which makes the board tip very easily to the left or right. A heavy-duty construction provides that each runner is fixed on a turntable and that every turn disc lies flat on the underside of the standing board and can be rotated by a pivot bearing relative to the standing board. The runners can be formed from wooden boards, which are sawn round (circular) on the front to form circular segments. These solid wood runners stand on a diameter line perpendicular to the turntables. A counter-rotating twist from the transverse position into a mirror-image inclined position can be achieved by twisting individually. It is expedient if the turntables are kinematically connected to one another, for example by positive locking via gears or non-positively via belt or cable drives, and can be adjusted synchronously and in opposite directions to one another by the angle of rotation of the two runners to the pivot axis or longitudinal central axis of the standing board. In the case of belt or cable drives, the two turntables are wrapped crosswise in a figure of eight. In this way mirror-image angular positions are achieved. This synchronization is also achieved with meshing teeth on the edges of the turntables.
Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeich- net, dass ein Drehgriff für ein Einstellrad an der Oberseite des Standbrettes vorgesehen ist, das mit den Drehscheiben für die Kufen zur Verstellung der Drehscheiben und damit der Kufen in ihrem Drehwinkel zur Längsmittelachse des Standbrettes kinematisch verbunden ist. Dadurch ist eine NeuJustierung des Schwierigkeitsgrades ohne Umdrehen des Standbrettes nach dem Absteigen ohne weiteres möglich.A further development of the invention is characterized in that a turning handle for a setting wheel is provided on the top of the standing board, which is kinematically connected to the turntables for the runners for adjusting the turntables and thus the runners in their angle of rotation to the longitudinal central axis of the standing board. This makes it easy to readjust the level of difficulty without having to turn the board after dismounting.
Um eine Wiederholbarkeit wie auch eine definierte Steigerung des Trainings zu ermöglichen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn an mindestens einer der Drehscheiben Winkelmarkierungen, z.B. mit Ziffern zwischen 1 und 10 zur Kennzeichnung derIn order to enable repeatability as well as a defined increase in the training, it is advantageous if angle markings, e.g. with digits between 1 and 10 to identify the
Drehlage der Drehscheiben und damit der Kufen bezüglich der Längsmittelachse des Standbrettes, vorgesehen sind, die durch eine Sichtöffnung an der Standbrettoberfläche entsprechend der Drehlage der Drehscheiben sichtbar sind. Konstruktionsbe- dingt liegen die Kufen nicht unmittelbar an den seitlichen Rändern des Standbrettes. Um ein Kippen beim Aufsteigen von der Seite zu verhindern, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn in einer Vertikalebene, in der die Drehachsen der Drehscheiben liegen, an den beiden Enden des Standbrettes und an der Unterseite desselben Abstandshalter, z.B. Keilstützen, angeordnet sind, die mit einer Kante oder Rundung am Boden aufliegen. Ziel des Trainings bei Genesungsprozessen ist in jeder Stufe des einstellbaren Schwierigkeitsgrades die Herstellung der Balance. Um objektiver eine Mittellage feststellen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn auf dem Standbrett in Schaukelrichtung eine in Schaukelrichtung orientierte Rinne mit darin laufender Kugel vorgesehen ist, wobei letztere auch in einem transparenten Rohr angeordnet sein kann. Das Rohr und/oder die Rinne kann von der Geraden abweichen und leicht U-förmig zur Längsmitte hin vertiefend gekrümmt sein, sodass die Kugel bei Waagrechtstellung des Standbrettes zwangsläufig in die Längsmittelstellung rollt.Rotational position of the turntables and thus the runners with respect to the longitudinal center axis of the stand board are provided, which are visible through a viewing opening on the stand board surface in accordance with the rotational position of the turntables. Due to the design, the runners do not lie directly on the side edges of the stand board. To tilt when climbing from to prevent the side, it is useful if in a vertical plane, in which the axes of rotation of the turntables lie, are arranged at the two ends of the standing board and on the underside of the same spacers, for example wedge supports, which rest with an edge or curve on the floor , The aim of training in recovery processes is to establish the balance at every level of the adjustable level of difficulty. In order to be able to determine a central position more objectively, it is advantageous if a channel oriented in the rocking direction is provided on the base board in the rocking direction with the ball running therein, the latter also being able to be arranged in a transparent tube. The tube and / or the channel can deviate from the straight line and can be slightly curved in a U-shape to the longitudinal center so that the ball inevitably rolls into the longitudinal center position when the standing board is in a horizontal position.

BESTE AUSFÜHRUNGSFORM DER ERFINDUNGBEST EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Ein Trainingsgerät zur Verbesserung oder Wiedererlangung des Gleichgewichtssinnes umfasst ein Standbrett 1, das auf dem Boden mittels Kufen 2, 3 aufliegt, welche hier die Form eines Kreissegmentes haben. Diese Kufen 2, 3 sind mit dem Standbrett 1 nicht starr verbunden, sondern um vertikale Achsen 4, 5 aus der mit vollen Linien gezeichneter Querstellung gegenüber dem Standbrett 1 in ihrer Winkellage zur Längsachse des Standbrettes 1 einstellbar. Dazu sind die Kufen 2, 3 auf Drehscheiben 6, 7 befestigt, die ihrerseits Drehlager mit den Achsen 4, 5 aufweisen. Eine von der Querstellung der gekrümmten Kufen 2, 3 abweichende Drehlage ist strichliert dargestellt (Kufen 2', 3'). Eine Verdrehung ist bis hin zur Längsstellung, also fluchtend mit der Längsachse des Standbrettes 1 möglich. Dazu wird bemerkt, dass die Verdrehung der beiden Kufen 2, 3 nicht parallel, sondern um gleiche Winkelbeträge zueinander konvergierend bzw. auseinander erfolgt.A training device for improving or regaining the sense of balance comprises a standing board 1, which rests on the floor by means of runners 2, 3, which here have the shape of a circular segment. These runners 2, 3 are not rigidly connected to the stand board 1, but are adjustable about vertical axes 4, 5 from the transverse position drawn with full lines relative to the stand board 1 in its angular position to the longitudinal axis of the stand board 1. For this purpose, the runners 2, 3 are attached to turntables 6, 7, which in turn are pivot bearings with the Have axes 4, 5. A rotational position deviating from the transverse position of the curved runners 2, 3 is shown in dashed lines (runners 2 ', 3'). Rotation is possible up to the longitudinal position, that is, in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the standing board 1. In addition, it is noted that the twisting of the two runners 2, 3 does not take place parallel, but converges or apart from one another by the same angular amounts.
Das Trainingsgerät ermöglicht es nach dem Aufsteigen, schaukelnde Bewegungen auszuführen und Ziel ist, die Balance zu halten. Dies ist umso schwieriger, je größer die Abweichung der Stellung der Kufen 2, 3 von der mit vollen Linien gezeichneten Querlage ist. Durch Verdrehen, z.B. in die strichlierte Stellung, stellt sich die für die Stabilität maßgebende Kurve als Projektion der Kufen 2', 3' auf eine Normalebene zur Längsachse des Standbrettes 1 ein. Je größer die Winkelabweichung der Kufenstellung von der Querlage ist, je steiler werden die wirksamen Schaukelkurven und je schwieriger ist das Balancieren.The training device makes it possible to perform rocking movements after ascending and the goal is to keep the balance. This is all the more difficult the greater the deviation of the position of the runners 2, 3 from the transverse position drawn with solid lines. By twisting, e.g. into the dashed position, the curve determining the stability is set as a projection of the runners 2 ', 3' onto a normal plane to the longitudinal axis of the standing board 1. The greater the angular deviation of the skid position from the transverse position, the steeper the effective swing curves and the more difficult it is to balance.
Um ein gegensinniges Verstellen der Kufen 2, 3 mit einem Handgriff zu ermöglichen, sind die Drehscheiben 6, 7 gemäßIn order to enable the skids 2, 3 to be adjusted in opposite directions with one hand, the turntables 6, 7 are in accordance with FIG
Fig. 2 durch einen gekreuzten Seiltrieb 8 kinematisch verbunden. Das Seil oder ein zusätzliches Seil kann über ein Einstellrad 9 geführt werden, das mit einem Handrad 10 verbunden ist. Diese Ausführungsform ist in Fig. 2 ersichtlich. Als Alternative zur Ausbildung nach Fig. 2 ist in Fig. 4 eine gleichwirkende Verzahnung an den Drehscheiben 6', 7' bzw. dem Einstellrad 9' dargestellt.Fig. 2 kinematically connected by a crossed cable drive 8. The rope or an additional rope can be guided via an adjustment wheel 9 which is connected to a handwheel 10. This embodiment can be seen in FIG. 2. As an alternative to the embodiment according to FIG. 2, an identically acting tooth system on the turntables 6 ', 7' or the adjusting wheel 9 'is shown in FIG. 4.
Auf weitere Besonderheiten sei noch hingewiesen, nämlich auf Keilstützen 11, 12 seitlich am Rand des Standbrettes. Diese berühren mit einer Kante den Boden und verhindern, dass das Standbrett 1 seitlich kippt, wenn jemand seitlich aufsteigt oder sich ganz an den seitlichen Rand auf das Standbrett 1 stellt. Die Keilstützen 11, 12 stören die Schaukelbewegungen, die Abrollbewegungen am Boden sind, in keiner Weise. Eine weitere Besonderheit ist eine Art "Wasserwaage", hier in Form einer Rinne 13, die quer zum Standbrett 1 ange- ordnet ist und in der eine Kugel 14 läuft. Die Rinne 13 ist zur Längsmittellinie des Standbrettes 1 hin leicht U-förmig vertieft oder abgesenkt, sodass die Kugel 14 bei waagrechter Stellung des Standbrettes die Längsmittellage einnimmt. Die Rinne 13 ist transparent abgedeckt, sodass ein Herausfallen der Kugel 14 nicht möglich ist. Die Kugel kann auch in einem Kunststoffröhr in der Art der Rinne 13 laufen, das an der Oberfläche des Standbrettes 1 montiert ist. Ein rutschfester Belag 15 (Fig. 1) definiert die Standfläche auf dem Stand- brett.Further special features should be pointed out, namely on wedge supports 11, 12 on the side of the edge of the standing board. These touch the ground with an edge and prevent the stand board 1 from tipping sideways when someone climbs on the side or stands on the stand board 1 at the side edge. The wedge supports 11, 12 in no way interfere with the rocking movements, which are rolling movements on the ground. Another special feature is a kind of "spirit level", here in the form of a channel 13, which is arranged transversely to the standing board 1. is arranged and in which a ball 14 runs. The groove 13 is slightly recessed or lowered in a U-shaped manner towards the longitudinal center line of the standing board 1, so that the ball 14 assumes the longitudinal center position when the standing board is in a horizontal position. The channel 13 is covered transparently so that the ball 14 cannot fall out. The ball can also run in a plastic tube in the manner of the groove 13, which is mounted on the surface of the standing board 1. A non-slip covering 15 (FIG. 1) defines the standing area on the standing board.
Die Kufen 2, 3 sind bis zu 90° verstellbar. Wenn eine der Drehscheiben 6 oder 7 (6' oder 7') an der Berührungsfläche mit der Unterseite des Standbrettes 1 eine Bogenskala in Gradeinteilung oder Stufeneinleitung (etwa 1 bis 10) trägt und im Standbrett 1 ein kleines Sichtfenster in Form eines Durchbruchs vorgesehen ist, dann kann die momentane Dreheinstellung abgelesen, vorgemerkt und für zukünftige Verwendung bei einer Vielzahl von Personen individuell wieder eingestellt werden. Skids 2, 3 are adjustable up to 90 °. If one of the turntables 6 or 7 (6 'or 7') on the contact surface with the underside of the standing board 1 carries an arc scale in degrees or steps (about 1 to 10) and a small viewing window in the form of an opening is provided in the standing board 1, the current rotary setting can then be read, marked and individually adjusted for future use by a large number of people.
