Embodiment Construction

[0010] A device for evaluating and displaying the difference in force vectors exerted by a pair of arms or legs of an exercising person, such as a patient with hemiparesis, a muscular disorder of one half of the body, a person furthermore having a compromised musculoskeletal system, or an athlete Consists of a housing 1 with two devices 2 for participation using a pair of limbs - arms or legs - not represented in the figures. Assume that the patient has only one limb affected by hemiparesis. The device 2 is designed in various ways with the aim of allowing proper participation of the treated limb pair in individual exercises. It is therefore foreseen that the devices 2 are interchangeable. The most common design for device 2 is a handle that is held in one hand by the exerciser. If one considers the affected limb which is not able to hold the device and exercise, it is foreseen that the device 2 can be mounted to a therapeutically appropriate point on the limb by means of kn...

Abstract

A device for assessing and display of a difference in vectors of forces exercised by a pair of arms or legs of exercising persons, e. g. patients suffering from a damage of the musculoskeletal or nervous system or sportsmen comprises a housing (1) with preferably two means (2) for a participation with a pair of limbs - arms or legs, wherein the means (2) are designed in various ways with the purpose to allow proper participation with the treated pair of limbs in an individual exercise, and are arranged on bearings (3) within the housing (1), further comprising a microcontroller (8) and optionally a computer (13), the Internet (14) for connection to an expert centre (15). Each means (2) is connected with a means (4) for the measurement of forces (F). The device of the invention further includes an accelerometer (5), a gyroscope (6) and a magnetometer (7) for the determination of its position and orientation in space, wherein all data from said means (4), said accelerometer (5), said gyroscope (6) and magnetometer (7) are gathered by said microcontroller (8) that evaluates them with models and algorithms, and said data are continuously displayed on a display (9), a monitor or a TV screen, notifying the exercising person on the exercising status and suggesting next steps.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject of the invention is a device for evaluating and displaying the vectorial difference of the forces exerted by a pair of arms or legs. The device is preferably intended for exercising the arms or legs of patients with musculoskeletal or neurological impairments (eg hemiparesis). The same equipment can also be used by amateur or professional athletes to exercise a pair of arms or legs in order to achieve the desired potential from the standpoint of strength, speed and coordination of the same pair of limbs. The device of the invention can also be used to play computer games in which a new element is added: force vectors, actually produced by the participants, not just simulated. Background technique [0002] The technical problem solved by the present invention is the design of such equipment for exercising the bones, muscles and indirectly the nervous system, which enables people, such as patients or athletes, to perform exercises without a ...
