Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine begehbare Platte zur Förderung der Motorik von Lebewesen, insbesondere der menschlichen Motorik.The present invention relates to a walk-in plate for promoting the motor skills of living beings, in particular human motor skills.

Parkinson-Patienten zeichnen sich nach außen hin nicht nur durch ein übermäßiges Zittern ihrer Gliedmaßen aus, sondern sind darüber hinaus auch in der Koordination ihrer Bewegungen und auch in ihrem Gleichgewichtssinn gestört. Insbesondere aufgrund der Koordinationsstörungen und auch aufgrund der Störung des Gleichgewichtssinns fehlt vielen Parkinson-Patienten insbesondere im fortgeschrittenen Stadium der Krankheit das Selbstvertrauen, sich durch Laufen fortzubewegen. Aufgrund der mangelnden Bewegung verkümmert dann auch die Muskulatur des gesamten Körpers, und hier insbesondere auch der Unterschenkelmuskulatur. Zur Förderung der Motorik von Parkinson-Patienten ist bereits bekannt, diese mit Hilfsmitteln laufen zu lassen, beispielsweise an Geländern oder auch mit den bekannten Gehwagen. Es hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, dass das Selbstvertrauen derartiger Parkinson-Patienten auch bei Übungen mit Gehwagen oder auch am Geländer nicht ausreichend ist, um diese in die Lage zu versetzen, ohne derartige Hilfsmittel selbständig zu laufen. Begründet ist dies im Wesentlichen darin, dass nahezu jeder Untergrund gewisse Unebenheiten aufweist, die den Parkinson-Patienten die Gefahr vermitteln, auf solchen Unebenheiten beim Gehen, also beim Setzen des einen Fußes vor den anderen, das Gleichgewicht zu verlieren.Parkinson's patients are characterized not only by an excessive trembling of their limbs outwardly, but are also disturbed in the coordination of their movements and also in their sense of balance. In particular, due to the lack of coordination and also due to the disturbance of the sense of balance, many Parkinson's patients lack the self-confidence, especially in the advanced stage of the disease, to move by walking. Due to the lack of movement, the musculature of the entire body, and in particular the lower leg muscles, also atrophies. To promote the motor skills of Parkinson's patients is already known to let them run with aids, for example on railings or with the known walker. However, it has been found that the self-confidence of such Parkinson's patients is not sufficient even in exercises with walkers or on the railing, to enable them to run independently without such aids. This is essentially due to the fact that almost every surface has certain bumps that give the Parkinson's patients the risk of losing balance on such bumps when walking, so when putting one foot in front of the other.

Wie zuvor erwähnt, fehlt aufgrund des mangelnden Trainings diesen Parkinson-Patienten auch die Körpermuskulatur, die erforderlich ist, um sich selbständig fortzubewegen. Hierzu gehört nicht nur die primär zu nennende Beinmuskulatur, und hier die Unterschenkelmuskulatur, sondern die gesamte Muskulatur des Körpers, die erforderlich ist, um den Körper während des Gehvorgangs zu stabilisieren.As previously mentioned, due to lack of exercise, this Parkinson's patient also lacks the body musculature required to move independently. This includes not only the leg muscles that are primarily to be named, and here the lower leg muscles, but the entire musculature of the body, which is necessary to stabilize the body during the walking process.

Aus der EP 1 743 989 A1 ist nun eine begehbare Platte der eingangs genannten Art bekannt, die eine reliefartige Oberfläche aufweist. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass Parkinson-Patienten, die auf solchen begehbaren Platten mit reliefartiger Struktur gehen, eine gewisse Sicherheit beim Gehvorgang erreichen. Durch die reliefartige Struktur mit Bergen und Tälern, die unter Umständen einen Höhenunterschied von mehreren Zentimetern aufweisen, werden durch den darauf gehenden Patienten gleichzeitig visuelle Reize ausgeübt, bei deren Verarbeitung er sich Gedanken machen muss, wie ein derartig unebener Untergrund begangen werden soll. Insbesondere die Kombination von visuellen Reizen und entsprechend korrespondierenden körperlichen Reizen fördert die Motorik und die propriozeptive Wahrnehmung nicht nur von Parkinson-Patienten, sondern auch diejenige von Kindern.From the EP 1 743 989 A1 Now, a walk-in plate of the aforementioned type is known, which has a relief-like surface. It has been shown that Parkinson's patients on such walk-in plates go with a relief-like structure to achieve a certain security during walking. Through the relief-like structure with mountains and valleys, which may have a difference in height of several centimeters, the patient walking on it simultaneously exerts visual stimuli, the processing of which he has to worry about how such an uneven surface should be committed. In particular, the combination of visual stimuli and correspondingly corresponding physical stimuli promotes motor skills and proprioceptive perception not only of Parkinson's patients, but also that of children.

Wie bereits an anderer Stelle erläutert, eröffnet die reliefartige Struktur auf solchen Platten visuelle Reize beim Patienten. Das bedeutet aber auch, dass sich der Patient oder auch das Kind, dessen Feinmotorik therapiert werden soll, visuell auf die reliefartige Struktur einstellt. Nun ist es für Patienten, und hier insbesondere Parkinson-Patienten, bei der Bewegung im täglichen Leben nicht immer möglich, sich visuell auf den Untergrund einzustellen, da schlussendlich auch die weitere Umgebung beobachtet werden muss. Das heißt, die Motorik des Patienten soll nicht nur über visuelle Reize gesteuert werden, sondern unabhängig hiervon soll der Patient lernen, sich auch auf zufällig sich ändernde Untergründe einzustellen.As already explained elsewhere, the relief-like structure on such plates opens up visual stimuli in the patient. However, this also means that the patient or even the child whose fine motor skills are to be treated visually adjusts to the relief-like structure. Now, it is not always possible for patients, especially Parkinson's patients, to adjust visually to the ground when moving in their daily lives, as ultimately the wider surroundings must also be observed. This means that the motor function of the patient should not only be controlled by visual stimuli, but independently of this, the patient should learn to adapt to randomly changing surfaces.

Insofern wird erfindungsgemäß eine begehbare Platte der eingangs genannten Art vorgeschlagen, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass die Platte auf ihrer Oberseite Stellen oder Zonen unterschiedlicher Härte aufweist. Das heißt, eine solche Platte ist auf ihrer Oberseite unterschiedlich weich oder hart. Das bedeutet, dass der Patient, der über eine solche Platte oder einen Verbund von Platten geht, visuell zumindest nicht erkennen kann, welche Stellen weich oder hart sind. Der Patient sinkt somit an verschiedenen Stellen tiefer ein als an anderen Stellen, woraus sich eine Schiefstellung des Fußes ergibt, die der Patient vorher nicht visuell antizipieren konnte. Der Patient kann sich insofern auf den Untergrund nicht einstellen. Das heißt aber auch, dass sich der Patient allein auf seine propriozeptive Wahrnehmung verlassen muss.In this respect, a walk-in plate of the aforementioned type is proposed according to the invention, which is characterized in that the plate has points or zones of different hardness on its upper side. That is, such a plate is soft or hard on its upper surface. This means that the patient walking over such a plate or a composite of plates can visually at least not recognize which sites are soft or hard. The patient thus sinks deeper in different places than in other places, from which there is a misalignment of the foot that the patient could not anticipate before. The patient can not adjust to the ground so far. But this also means that the patient alone has to rely on his proprioceptive perception.

Vorteilhafte Merkmale und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous features and embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

So ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass die Platte Einlagen aufweist, wobei die Härte oder Festigkeit der Einlagen unterschiedlich zu dem Werkstoff der übrigen Platte ist, um eine solche Platte mit unterschiedlichen Druckfestigkeiten herzustellen. Wesentlich hierbei ist, dass visuell ein Unterschied in der Härte nicht wahrnehmbar sein soll. Insofern sind die weichen und harten Abschnitte innerhalb der Oberfläche der Platte visuell nicht zu unterscheiden.Thus, it is provided in particular that the plate has inserts, wherein the hardness or strength of the inserts is different from the material of the remaining plate in order to produce such a plate with different compressive strengths. It is essential that visually a difference in hardness should not be noticeable. In this respect, the soft and hard sections within the surface of the plate are visually indistinguishable.

Nach einer anderen Variante kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Platte auf der Unterseite Kammern aufweist, wobei allein durch die Kammerung der Platte auf der Unterseite sich die Möglichkeit ergibt, Stellen unterschiedlicher Härte bereitzustellen; es besteht allerdings auch die Möglichkeit, in die Kammern Einlagen einzusetzen, wobei die Einlagen selbst eine unterschiedliche Härte bzw. Steifigkeit aufweisen, also z. B. aus Weichschaumkunststoff hergestellt sind.According to another variant, it can be provided that the plate has chambers on the underside, wherein only by the chambering of the plate on the bottom there is the possibility to provide points of different hardness; However, there is also the possibility to use deposits in the chambers, the deposits themselves have a different hardness or stiffness, ie z. B. made of soft foam plastic.

Eine andere Variante besteht darin, eine Platte aus im Wesentlichen steifen Material mit einer zumindest partiellen Beschichtung aus im Verhältnis dazu nachgiebigerem Material bereitzustellen. Insbesondere dann, wenn das nachgiebigere Material unterschiedlich dick ist, ergeben sich somit ebenfalls Stellen unterschiedlicher Härte auf der Platte. In diesem Zusammenhang kann weiterhin vorgesehen sein, dass das im Verhältnis zum Material der Platte nachgiebigere Material, das auf die Platte aufgebracht wird, über die Fläche der Platte eine unterschiedliche Härte aufweist. Auch hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Platte selbst Zonen unterschiedlicher Eindringtiefe zeigt.Another variant is to provide a plate of substantially rigid material with at least a partial coating of relatively more compliant material. In particular, when the more flexible material is of different thickness, thus also arise places of different hardness on the plate. In this context, it may further be provided that the more compliant relative to the material of the plate material that on the plate is applied, over the surface of the plate has a different hardness. This also ensures that the plate itself shows zones of different penetration depth.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist die Platte aus einem Kunststoff hergestellt, wobei vorteilhaft die Einlage, wie bereits ausgeführt, aus einem Weichkunststoff ausgebildet ist und die Einlage weiterhin vorteilhaft mit dem Werkstoff der Platte bei der Herstellung umspritzt ist.According to a further feature of the invention, the plate is made of a plastic, wherein advantageously the insert, as already stated, is formed of a soft plastic and the insert is further advantageously encapsulated with the material of the plate during manufacture.

Nach einer besonderen Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Platte auf ihrer Oberseite eine reliefartige Struktur aufweist, d. h. eine reliefartige Struktur mit Stellen unterschiedlicher Festigkeit oder Weichheit in einer Platte kombiniert ist. Somit wird durch eine Kombination von Unebenheiten auf der Platte in Verbindung mit unterschiedlich harten Abschnitten auf der Platte die Feinmotorik in weitaus stärkerem Maße angesprochen, als dies einzeln der Fall ist, was dem Therapieerfolg sehr zu Gute kommt, wie sich bereits in Untersuchungen herausgestellt hat.According to a particular embodiment it can be provided that the plate has on its upper side a relief-like structure, d. H. a relief-like structure is combined with points of different strength or softness in a plate. Thus, a combination of unevenness on the plate in conjunction with different hard sections on the plate fine motor skills are addressed to a much greater extent than is the case individually, which is the therapy success very good, as has already been shown in studies.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist auch ein Bodenbelag mit mehreren Platten der zuvor beschriebenen Art, die vorteilhaft im Verbund oder Halbverbund verlegt sind.The invention also provides a floor covering with a plurality of panels of the type described above, which are advantageously laid in a composite or semi-composite.

Anhand der Zeichnungen wird die Erfindung nachstehend beispielhaft erläutert.

zeigt einen Verbund aus mehreren Platten der erfindungsgemäßen Art;
Figur 2
zeigt im Schnitt eine derartige begehbare Platte;
Figur 3
zeigt eine Platte mit auf der Unterseite angeordneten Kammern;
Figur 4

The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1
shows a composite of several plates of the type according to the invention;
FIG. 2
shows in section such walkable plate;
FIG. 3
shows a plate with arranged on the bottom chambers;
FIG. 4
shows a plate with a coating of a resilient material.

Wie der Figur 1 zu entnehmen ist, weist eine Platte 1 eines Verbundes aus mehreren Platten eine reliefartige Struktur 2 auf. Diese reliefartige Struktur 2 umfasst Berge 2a und Täler 2b. Der Verbund der Platten erfolgt hierbei derart, dass die Platten im aneinander anliegenden Zustand ihrer Oberflächen ohne Absätze ineinander überlaufen.Again FIG. 1 can be seen, a plate 1 of a composite of several plates on a relief-like structure 2. This relief-like structure 2 comprises mountains 2a and valleys 2b. The composite of the plates takes place here in such a way that the plates overflow into one another without shoulders in the contiguous state of their surfaces.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist nun die Ausbildung einer Platte gemäß Figur 1, beispielsweise mit einer reliefartigen Struktur, wobei die Platte Stellen unterschiedlicher Härte aufweist. Eine Platte aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise einem Elastomer, zeigt eine Einlage 5, die sich von der übrigen Platte dadurch abhebt, dass sie weicher oder auch härter ist als das umgebende Material der Platte. Es sei an dieser Stelle darauf hingewiesen, dass Gegenstand der Erfindung auch eine Platte ohne eine derartige reliefartige Oberfläche ist.The invention is now the formation of a plate according to FIG. 1 , For example, with a relief-like structure, wherein the plate has points of different hardness. A sheet of plastic, such as an elastomer, shows an insert 5 which stands out from the rest of the plate in that it is softer or harder than the surrounding material of the plate. It should be noted at this point that the subject of the invention is also a plate without such a relief-like surface.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Ausbildung einer begehbaren Platte mit einer reliefartigen Oberfläche, wobei die Platte auf der Unterseite Kammern 10 zeigt, die mit einem weichen Material 11 belegt sind. Hierdurch ergeben sich Stellen unterschiedlicher Eindringtiefe beim Überlaufen der Platte oder, anders ausgedrückt, Stellen unterschiedlicher Härte, wobei sichergestellt sein muss, dass das Material der Platte nicht derart steif oder hart ist, dass trotz der auf der Unterseite angeordneten Kammern die Verformung der Platte selbst, aufgrund ihres Materials, bei Krafteinwirkung nicht möglich ist. FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a walk-in plate with a relief-like surface, wherein the plate on the bottom of chambers 10, which are covered with a soft material 11. This results in points of different depth of penetration when overflowing the plate or, in other words, locations of different hardness, it being necessary to ensure that the material of the plate is not so stiff or hard that despite the arranged on the bottom chambers the deformation of the plate itself, due to their material, when force is not possible.

Figur 4 zeigt eine weitere Variante, bei der die reliefartige Platte mit einer Beschichtung 20 versehen ist, die ein im Verhältnis zum Material der Platte geringere Härte aufweist, wobei insbesondere dann, wenn die Beschichtung 20 über die Oberfläche eine unterschiedliche Stärke aufweist, sich bei Belastung unterschiedliche Eindringtiefen ergeben, was bedeutet, dass für die Person, die über eine solche Platte läuft, sich Stellen unterschiedlicher Härte ergeben. FIG. 4 shows a further variant in which the relief-like plate is provided with a coating 20 which has a lower hardness in relation to the material of the plate, wherein in particular when the coating 20 has a different thickness over the surface, Different depths of penetration result under load, which means that the person running over such a plate will experience points of varying hardness.
