Ladevice for training and/or analyzing a user's musculoskeletal system

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for training and / or analyzing a user's musculoskeletal system. Said device comprises a stepping plate (4) that is mounted on a base plate (2) and can be made to periodically or aperiodically move by means of a driving mechanism (10) encompassing at least one drive shaft (11a-11c) on which at least one cam (12a-12c) is disposed. At least one roll (13a-13c) that can roll off an external surface (14', 15', 16') of the at least one cam (12a-12c) is arranged on the bottom side (4') of the stepping plate (4). According to the invention, the stepping plate (4) of the device (1) is connected to the base plate (2) by means of vertical guides (3a-3d) that are stationarily disposed on the base plate (2) such that the mounted stepping plate (4) can follow a lifting movement caused by the driving mechanism (10). Furthermore, at least one cam (12a-12c) has a first eccentric zone (25) that is truncated such that the distance traveled by the roll (13a-13c) which rolls off the surface (15') of said zone (15) increases along the axial extension of the cam (12a-12c). Finally, the device (1) comprises a vertical adjusting mechanism (6, 30) which allows the lift of the stepping plate (4) to be modified by changing the position between at least one roll (13a-13c) and the cam (12a-12c) that cooperates therewith.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for exercising and / or analyzing a user's motor system, wherein the device has a pedal supported on a base plate, which can be set in cyclic and / or non-periodic motion by means of a drive , the drive device has at least one drive shaft, on which at least one eccentric wheel is arranged, and at least one roller is arranged on the underside of the pedal, and the roller can roll on the outer surface of the at least one eccentric wheel. Background technique [0002] A wide variety of such devices are known and are used to train the motor system of a user or to analyze it in order to be able to detect abnormal motion processes. WO 2007 / 024103 describes a device with two pedals which can be set in a periodic movement by a drive. A shaft driven by a drive is used for this purpose and has two eccentrics, which each interact with a roller fixed to the pedals and arranged perpendicularly to the eccentric rollers.

Problems solved by technology

However, if the device is to be used for exercising a heavy user such as a race horse or camel and / or to analyze its kinematic system, the above-mentioned mechanical configuration of the drive is generally not sufficient to achieve the required operational reliability, or The components of the drive must be designed so powerfully that in this case such a device, for example adapted to a horse, would be extremely bulky.
