Problems solved by technology

[0005] High strength and high toughness bring excellent protection, but also lead to certain restrictions on the flexibility of the ankle, which affects the performance of sports
[0006] At the same time, long-term use of protective devices such as ankle braces prevents the muscles and ligaments of the ankle joint from being fully exercised, making them more vulnerable
This causes such a common phenomenon: once the ankle joint is injured (especially the heavier one), the injured needs to wear ankle support even if he recovers, but excessive wearing of the ankle support leads to the increasing dependence of the ankle joint on the ankle support. Joint muscles and ligaments cannot return to pre-injury levels, so the injured need to continue to wear ankle braces, creating a vicious cycle

Embodiment Construction

[0039] Device structure

[0040] Such as figure 1 As shown, the protective device comprises a leg shell 1 worn on the upper part of the ankle and a foot shell 2 worn on the lower part of the ankle. Both the leg shell 1 and the foot shell 2 are movably connected through the connecting portion 3, and can move freely with each other. The connecting part 3 can be a flexible structure, such as silica gel, fiber fabric and the like.

[0041] The protection device has a tension device 4, which is divided into an upper section 41 and a lower section 42, which are respectively fixedly connected to the leg shell 1 through a fixing structure 43, and fixedly connected to the foot shell 2 through a fixing structure 44. The tension device 4 is strip-shaped and includes multiple sections. Each segment is rotatably connected to each other. Usually it can be set to two stages, but in order to better adapt to the ankle joint movement, you can choose 3 stages or more. However, too many s...

Abstract

An ankle protection device, comprising a leg shell worn on the upper part of the ankle, and a foot shell worn on the lower part of the ankle; the leg shell and the foot shell are flexibly connected through a connecting part; it also includes a tension device, wherein the upper part is passed through a fixed structure The lower section is fixedly connected to the foot shell through a fixed structure; the upper section and the lower section of the tension device are meshed through a gear mechanism; the processor controls the motor to provide resistance F for the tension device. Therefore, the ankle joint can be protected without affecting the movement of the ankle joint, so that the user can exercise more freely and can train the muscles and ligaments of the ankle joint.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to an ankle protection and rehabilitation training device. Background technique [0002] Ankle sprains are very common in all sports, affecting almost all athletes. Especially in some fierce confrontations, such as in football matches, individual injured people even have foot valgus up to 90 degrees due to fierce confrontation, and this injury brings great damage to the sports career of the injured. Ankle sprains are mainly caused by inversion and valgus, both of which can cause damage to the ankle ligaments. According to the degree of severity, it is divided into: first grade, the ligament is stretched or torn in a small area, the ligament is not loose, and the elastic recovery ability is good; second grade, the ligament is partially torn, the ligament is partially loose, and the elastic recovery ability is limited Injury; Grade III, the ligament is completely torn, the ligament ...
