Self-programming adjustable ankle pump exercise trainer

Abstract

The invention relates to a self-programming adjustable ankle pump exercise trainer. A first arched support is transversely erected above a bottom plate, and a left proximity switch and a right proximity switch are installed on the left half portion and the right half portion of the first arched support respectively; a second arched support is perpendicular to the first arched support, the rear end of the second arched support is connected to the rear side edge of the bottom plate, the front end of the second arched support crosses the first arched support and extends forwards, a gap sufficient for containing an ankle is reserved between the front end of the second arched support and the bottom plate, a front proximity switch is mounted on a front extension section, which crosses the first arched support, of the second arched support, and a rear proximity switch is mounted at the rear part of the second arched support; toe sleeves are used for being sleeved on toes of a patient, metal pieces used for triggering the proximity switches are arranged in the toe sleeves, and the proximity switches and reminders are respectively and electrically connected with the programmable controller. According to the invention, the ankle pump movement correctness of the patient can be standardized, the patient is effectively guided to complete movement, the patient compliance is improved, and the nursing work efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ankle pump exercise training device, in particular to a self-programming adjustable ankle pump exercise trainer, which belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation training equipment design. Background technique [0002] Ankle pump movement is through plantarflexion, varus, dorsiflexion, valgus and other movements of the ankle joint to make the calf muscles relax and relax, which acts like a pump and promotes blood circulation and lymphatic return of the lower limbs. If there is no ankle pump movement, the blood flow in the veins of the lower extremities will be slow or even stagnant, and venous thrombosis will form over time. Once the lower extremity venous thrombosis falls off, it may enter the pulmonary artery and cause pulmonary embolism. According to literature reports, lower extremity venous thrombosis has become the second cause of death next to malignant tumors. Therefore, clinical scholars generally believe th...

Problems solved by technology

At present, the ankle pump exercise training method mainly relies on videos, passwords, brackets, etc. to guide patients to perform ankle pump exercises. Video guidance does not achieve the goal; braces can assist with circular rotation, but foot plantarflexion and dorsiflexion guidance is limited

(2) The patient's movement cannot be effectively corrected, and the patient may not move properly during the exercise, and cannot be supervised
