Definitions

  • the invention relates to medical devices and particularly refers to a device for physical rehabilitation exercises of a user's body, in particular for his lower and upper limbs.
  • the known devices for physical exercises must be operated by the person, which trains and has an active role during the exercise.
  • the handicapped people or the persons that must re-educate injured parts of the body in many cases cannot have an active role, but they can perform only repetitive passive movements, with a continuous intervention of a physiotherapist or an assistant.
  • the main object of the present invention is to propose a device for physical rehabilitation exercises of a user's body, completely controlled by a programmable control unit.
  • Further object is to propose a device allowing to submit the user's lower and upper limbs to physical exercises of passive and active type.
  • Another object is to propose a device fit for allowing the adjustment of the application times, the speeds and the forces developed according to the user's demands, by means of manual controls or special programs.
  • numeral 100 indicates a device for physical rehabilitation exercises essentially consisting of pedals 19, cranks 14, a support base 1 and a user's support.
  • the support base 1 has adjustable feet 2, a first connection 3 for an upright 4 and a second connection 5 for a frame 6 sustaining the user's support, consisting of a seat 7 or an armchair 23.
  • the pedals 19 and the cranks 14 are mechanically coupled to two actuator means, respectively first 15 and second 21, consisting of reversible electric devices, fit for working both as electric motors in a driving condition and as electric power generators and brakes in a braking condition.
  • the two actuator means are provided with respective reduction unit, not shown in the figures, of the type epicycloidal or with worm screw or with gear, for changing the rotation speed.
  • the upright 4 that holds a head 13 supporting a couple of rotating cranks 14, is rotatably and lockably connected to the base 1, by means of the first connection 3 provided with a pivot 8, to be moved near or removed to or from the seat 7.
  • the frame 6, supporting the user's support 7, 23 can be moved near or removed to or from the upright 4, by sliding said frame 6 into the connection 5 and stopping in the desired position by means of the threaded knob 9.
  • the frame 6 further has a support element 10 with feet 11 leaning on the floor.
  • the seat 7 can be adjusted in height, acting on the lever 12, or it can be replaced with the armchair 23, according to the user conditions.
  • Removing the seat 7 or the armchair 23, a user, forced on a wheelchair, can be allowed to use the device from his chair.
  • the first actuator mean 15, fixed to the support base 1, in correspondence of a driving condition is powered by the command unit 22 and moves the pedals 19, with adjustable speed and for a predefined time, in order to subject the user's lower limbs to physical exercises of passive type.
  • the movement of the pedals 19 is made by rotating the crank mechanism 25, constituted by rods 16 which, through connecting rods 17, operate on levers 18, fixed to said pedals 19.
  • the two pedals 19 are hinged to the first connection 3 by means of a pivot 20 and they are connected to the crank mechanisms 25 with a 180° angle displacement, in such a way to oscillate in opposite directions.
  • the first actuator mean 15 works as generator and adjustable brake, transforming the mechanical energy into electric energy and being an adjustable resistance to the rotation, according to its electric load, settable by the control unit 22.
  • the electric current produced by the actuator mean 15 can be used by the control unit 22 to power the second actuator mean 21, that moves the cranks 14 to subject the user's upper limbs to passive physical exercises.
  • the second actuator mean 21 is located in a head 13, fixed to the support upright 4.
  • the second actuator mean 21 may works as generator and adjustable brake.
  • the electric current produced by the second actuator mean 21 in correspondence of a braking condition can be used for powering the first actuator mean 15, that in a driving condition moves the pedals 19 to subject the user's lower limbs to passive physical exercises.
  • the adjustments of the control unit are manually made or using predefined programs stored inside said unit.
  • a variant of the device 100 provides pedals 19 adjustable and articulated, in such a way to allow the user's lower limbs to assume positions forward or backward or sideways inclined.
  • a second variation of the device not shown in the figures, provides rotating pedals 19, directly connected to the first actuator mean 15, with functionality similar to those above described.
