Description
本發明是有關於一種運動健身器材,特別是指一種具有補償踏板的角度或/及高度的步態訓練裝置。 The present invention relates to an exercise fitness device, and more particularly to a gait training device having an angle or/and a height that compensates for the pedal.
一般的步態訓練裝置(stepping training device),如踏步機,划步機,或橢圓機等,可讓使用者在上面做出踏步的運動,成為常見的健身運動器材。其中橢圓機(Elliptical)更因踩踏軌跡類似橢圓形運動而得名。步態訓練機具 有一踏板,該踏板可以是固定在一運動桿件上、或是該踏板連結在一基板上而具有可調角度功能。第1圖所顯示係為一種應用於運動器材上之可調角度功能的踏板的示意圖。如第一圖所示,該踏板1的一端連結在底座(或稱為基板)11可被轉動。該踏板1的另一端具有三圓孔14的調節部13,利用定位栓15與此調節部13可讓踏板1相對於底座11呈現角度產生變化。然而,無論是該踏板是否具有可調角度功能,在操作(運動)期間,該踏板的角度相對於基板是固定不變的。 A general stepping training device, such as a stepper, a stepper, or an elliptical machine, allows the user to make a stepping motion and become a common exercise equipment. Among them, the elliptical machine (Elliptical) is named after the pedaling trajectory is similar to the elliptical motion. Gait training machine There is a pedal which can be fixed to a moving rod or the pedal is coupled to a substrate to have an adjustable angle function. Figure 1 shows a schematic view of a pedal applied to an adjustable angle function on a sports equipment. As shown in the first figure, one end of the pedal 1 is coupled to a base (or referred to as a substrate) 11 to be rotated. The other end of the pedal 1 has an adjustment portion 13 of three circular holes 14, and the adjustment pin 13 and the adjustment portion 13 allow the pedal 1 to change in angle with respect to the base 11. However, whether or not the pedal has an adjustable angle function, the angle of the pedal is fixed relative to the substrate during operation (motion).
然而,人在正常走路或跑步時,踝關節膝關節與髖關節依照所處的時期不同,會有特定的角度變化,這些角度變化在多數人身上均類似,稱為「正常步態」。讓使用者在運動或復健時可以處於正常步態是一個重要的目標。然而,傳統的步態訓練機,如踏步機,划步機,或橢圓機(Elliptical)等,雖然可讓使用者在上面做出踏步的運動,但其踝關節之運動角度與正常步態差異甚大,因此,該步態非屬於正常步態。 However, when a person walks or runs normally, the ankle joint and the hip joint will have a specific angle change depending on the period in which they are exposed. These angle changes are similar in most people and are called "normal gait". It is an important goal for the user to be in a normal gait during exercise or rehabilitation. However, traditional gait training machines, such as steppers, steppers, or elliptical machines (Elliptical), etc., allow the user to make a step on the movement, but the difference between the ankle joint movement angle and the normal gait Very large, therefore, this gait is not a normal gait.
此外,在行走時身體重心大致上會有垂直運動。然而,傳統的步態訓練裝置(例如:橢圓機與踏步機),對於垂直高度沒有任何補償的功能,導致身體重心在踏步運動時有過多且軌跡異於正常步態的垂直運動,此則為另外一項待改進之處。 In addition, there is a vertical movement of the center of gravity of the body during walking. However, traditional gait training devices (such as elliptical machines and steppers) do not have any compensation for vertical height, resulting in a body center of gravity that has too much trajectory and a vertical motion that is different from normal gait. Another area to be improved.
由於傳統步態訓練裝置存在著一些問題點。所以,本發明提出一種踏板調整結構、其調整方法及具有踏板調整結構之步態訓練裝置,以克服上述的至少一個問題點。 There are some problems with the traditional gait training device. Therefore, the present invention provides a pedal adjustment structure, an adjustment method thereof, and a gait training device having a pedal adjustment structure to overcome at least one of the above problems.

本發明之實施例揭露了一種踏板調整結構,係設置於一步態訓練機上,該踏板調整結構包括有:一本體,用以固定於該步態訓練機上;一踏板;以及一調整模組,設於該本體與該踏板之間,藉由該調整模組讓該踏板相對於該本體的角度進行調整,以使得該步態訓練機之步態實質上呈現出一較接近正常之踏步運動(stepping exercise)。 An embodiment of the present invention discloses a pedal adjustment structure, which is disposed on a one-step training machine. The pedal adjustment structure includes: a body for fixing to the gait training machine; a pedal; and an adjustment module Between the body and the pedal, the adjustment module adjusts the angle of the pedal relative to the body, so that the gait of the gait training machine substantially presents a stepping motion closer to normal. (stepping exercise).
本發明之實施例揭露了一種調整步態之調整方法,係應用於一步態訓練機上,其中,該步態訓練機包括一踏板,該調整方法包含有:得出一調整步態曲線資料,其中,該調整步態曲線資料係與該步態訓練機之一步態曲 線有關;以及依據該調整步態曲線資料,以調整該踏板的角度及高度的至少其中之一。 An embodiment of the present invention discloses an adjustment gait adjustment method, which is applied to a one-step training machine, wherein the gait training machine includes a pedal, and the adjustment method includes: obtaining an adjusted gait curve data, Wherein, the adjusted gait curve data system and one of the gait training machines Related to the line; and adjusting the gait curve data to adjust at least one of the angle and the height of the pedal.
一較佳實施例,本發明之實施例揭露了一種步態訓練裝置,係設置於一步態訓練機上。 In a preferred embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a gait training device that is disposed on a one-step training machine.
說明書中所例示本發明之多個實施例,皆為本發明之較佳實施例,其目的用於說明本發明可以許多方式來加以實施以及非用來限定本發明實施之範圍。換言之,熟知此項技藝者當可藉由此些實施例的描述而得知本發明之細節,故在此不再贅述。 The embodiments of the present invention are intended to be illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. In other words, those skilled in the art can understand the details of the present invention by the description of the embodiments, and therefore will not be described herein.
在行走或跑步時,由第一腳跟著地,重心位移至第一腳,踝關節做推進動作,第一腳離開地面,向前邁步,到腳跟著地,係為一個步態週期。第2圖係為在一個步態週期中,正常步態與傳統的步態訓練機中踝關節所呈現出的角度變化的比較意圖。如第2圖所示,其中,在第2圖中的虛線係為在行走或跑步(即為正常步態)中,踝關節在一個步態週期中所呈現出的角度變化的情形;在第2圖中的實線係為在傳統步態訓練機中,踝關節在一個步態週期中所呈現出的角度變化的情形。如第2圖所示,在正常步態周期時,踝關節會隨者所處的步態時期不同,分別做兩次的背屈(dorsiflexion)與蹠屈(plantar flexion)。如第2圖的虛線所示。 When walking or running, the first heel touches the ground, the center of gravity shifts to the first foot, and the ankle joint performs the propelling action. The first foot leaves the ground, moves forward, and the heel strikes the ground, which is a gait cycle. Figure 2 is a comparison of the angle changes exhibited by the normal gait and the ankle joint in a conventional gait training machine during a gait cycle. As shown in Fig. 2, wherein the broken line in Fig. 2 is the change of the angle exhibited by the ankle joint in a gait cycle during walking or running (that is, normal gait); The solid line in Fig. 2 is the case where the angle of the ankle joint changes in a gait cycle in a conventional gait training machine. As shown in Fig. 2, during the normal gait cycle, the ankle joint will have two dorsiflexions and plantar flexions, respectively, depending on the gait period. This is shown by the dotted line in Figure 2.
然而,傳統的步態訓練機(例如:橢圓機、划步機),在操作期間(運動期間)該踏板是固定不可變的。因此傳統的步態訓練機無法有效引導踝關節之 運動角度接近正常步態,所走出的步態僅會出現一次的背屈(dorsiflexion)與蹠屈(plantar flexion)。如第2圖的實線所示。 However, conventional gait training machines (eg, elliptical machines, steppers), the pedals are fixed and immutable during operation (during exercise). Therefore, the traditional gait training machine can not effectively guide the ankle joint. The angle of motion is close to the normal gait, and the gait that exits will only have a dorsiflexion and plantar flexion. As shown by the solid line in Figure 2.
換言之,藉由本發明之步態訓練機相較於傳統步態訓練機,可使得踝關節在一個步態週期中所呈現出的角度變化較接近於正常步態。請注意,本發明之步態訓練機並不要求必須完全地、或相當接近於一個正常步態。而是在整個步態周期中,希望透過踏板角度的控制,以改善傳統步態訓練機所走出的不正常的步態。 In other words, the gait training machine of the present invention can make the angular change of the ankle joint in a gait cycle closer to the normal gait than the conventional gait training machine. Please note that the gait training machine of the present invention is not required to be completely, or fairly close to, a normal gait. Instead, throughout the gait cycle, it is desirable to improve the abnormal gait of the traditional gait training machine through the control of the pedal angle.
由於本發明之步態訓練機欲改善傳統步態訓練機所走出的不正常的步態。進一步而言,本發明之步態訓練機可使得踝關節在一個步態週期中所呈現出的角度變化較接近於正常步態。故,在本發明的眾多實施例中的至少其一實施例中,本發明之步態訓練機具有踝關節角度(即,踏板的角度)的控制機制。 Since the gait training machine of the present invention is intended to improve the abnormal gait of the conventional gait training machine. Further, the gait training machine of the present invention can cause the ankle joint to exhibit an angle change closer to a normal gait in a gait cycle. Thus, in at least one of the various embodiments of the present invention, the gait training machine of the present invention has a control mechanism for the ankle joint angle (i.e., the angle of the pedal).
以下說明如何得出一個步態週期中,如何控制踏板的角度變化以改善傳統步態訓練機所走出的不正常的步態的實施策略: The following describes how to derive an implementation strategy for how to control the angle change of the pedal in a gait cycle to improve the abnormal gait of the traditional gait training machine:
第一實施策略: The first implementation strategy:
透過正常步態與傳統步態訓練機的角度進行相減,可得兩者的角度差異,如第3A圖所示。第3A圖係為在一個步態週期中本發明欲對踝關節進行的理想的踏板角度控制的示意圖。當然,還存在許多不同的控制踏板的實施策略皆可改善傳統步態訓練機所走出的不正常的步態。故本說明書還揭露其他實施策略: By subtracting the normal gait from the angle of the traditional gait trainer, the difference in angle between the two can be obtained, as shown in Figure 3A. Figure 3A is a schematic illustration of the desired pedal angle control of the ankle joint of the present invention in a gait cycle. Of course, there are many different control pedal implementation strategies that can improve the abnormal gait that the traditional gait trainer goes out of. Therefore, this specification also discloses other implementation strategies:
第二實施策略: Second implementation strategy:
從第3A圖所示可知,其較大的差異為在步態週期56%以後的角度變化。而從步態週期10%至步態週期56%之間的差異較少,因此可將差異簡化為第3B圖。第3B圖係為本發明欲對踝關節進行的第二種角度控制的示意圖。換言之,在第3B圖中的B點到D點之間係不進行角度的調整,故可簡化整個步態訓練機控制機制。第3C圖係為本發明的第二種實施策略下角度控制(實線)與正常步態下踝關節角度變化情形(虛線)的比較圖。請注意,依據第3B圖的實施策略,依然會使得踝關節在一個步態週期中所呈現出的角度變化具有兩次的背屈(dorsiflexion)與蹠屈(plantar flexion)(請參閱第3C圖的實線)。換言之,仍然可改善傳統步態訓練機的問題。由第二個實施策略可知,在整個步態週期中,僅調整一部份的步態週期的角度差異,但並不限於此段的差異。由於在第二實施策略中,可將整個步態週期進行簡化,而區分成至少二段不同的調整模式,一為作用區間(即是D-E-F-A-B區間),另一為不作用區間(即是B-C-D區間)。經過簡化後,便可利用純機械原理完成整個設計。 As can be seen from Fig. 3A, the larger difference is the angular change after 56% of the gait cycle. The difference between 10% of the gait cycle and 56% of the gait cycle is small, so the difference can be reduced to the 3B chart. Figure 3B is a schematic illustration of a second angular control of the ankle joint of the present invention. In other words, the angle adjustment is not performed between point B and point D in Fig. 3B, so that the entire gait training machine control mechanism can be simplified. Fig. 3C is a comparison diagram of the angle control (solid line) and the change of the ankle joint angle (dashed line) in the normal gait according to the second implementation strategy of the present invention. Please note that according to the implementation strategy of Figure 3B, the angular changes exhibited by the ankle in a gait cycle are still twice dorsiflexion and plantar flexion (see Figure 3C). Solid line). In other words, the problem of the traditional gait training machine can still be improved. According to the second implementation strategy, only the angular difference of a part of the gait cycle is adjusted throughout the gait cycle, but is not limited to the difference of the segment. In the second implementation strategy, the entire gait cycle can be simplified and divided into at least two different adjustment modes, one is the action interval (ie, the DEFAB interval), and the other is the inactive interval (ie, the BCD interval). ). Once simplified, the entire design can be completed using purely mechanical principles.
第三實施策略: The third implementation strategy:
此外,由於行走時重心有固定的垂直運動的情形。然而,市售的橢圓機與踏步機,對於重心垂直高度沒有校正的功能。換言之,傳統步態訓練機除了具有踝關節步態與正常步態不同外,還存在有行走時重心沒有進行高度補償的設計。所以,本發明之第三實施策略,係將上述任一個實施策略再加上垂直高度調整。此外,由於行走與跑步的重心的垂直運動並不相同,換言之,其高度補償應不相同。所以,在此實施策略中,使用者可自行決定是否要啟動垂直高度調整或是依據使用者欲進行行走(第一模式)或是跑步(第二模式)的不同,而決定出垂直高度調整的不同。另一實施例,或是依 據速度的不同(行走或是跑步)而自動地給與適當的高度補償。第4A圖係為在1/2個步態週期中,正常步態與傳統的步態訓練機中踏板所呈現出的高度變化的比較意圖。如第4A圖所示,其中,在第4A圖中的虛線係為正常步態中,在一個步態週期中所呈現出的高度變化的情形;在第4A圖中的實線係為在傳統步態訓練機中,踏板在1/2個步態週期中所呈現出的高度變化的情形。(由於左右腳的步態相似,所以僅顯示1/2個步態週期,而左腳與右腳的步態係差1/2步態週期)。依據第4A圖中的正常步態與步態訓練機的步態進行相減,可得出第4B圖中一個步態週期中踏板高度的補償情形。 In addition, there is a case where the center of gravity has a fixed vertical motion during walking. However, commercially available elliptical machines and steppers have no function of correcting the vertical height of the center of gravity. In other words, in addition to the ankle joint gait and the normal gait, the traditional gait training machine also has a design in which the center of gravity does not perform height compensation during walking. Therefore, the third implementation strategy of the present invention adds the vertical height adjustment to any of the above implementation strategies. In addition, since the vertical movement of the center of gravity of walking and running is not the same, in other words, the height compensation should be different. Therefore, in this implementation strategy, the user can decide whether to start the vertical height adjustment or determine the vertical height adjustment according to the difference between the user's desire to walk (the first mode) or the running (the second mode). different. Another embodiment, or The appropriate height compensation is automatically given depending on the speed (walking or running). Fig. 4A is a comparison intention of the normal gait and the height change exhibited by the pedal in the conventional gait training machine in 1/2 gait cycle. As shown in Fig. 4A, wherein the broken line in Fig. 4A is the case of the height change exhibited in one gait cycle in the normal gait; the solid line in Fig. 4A is in the conventional In the gait training machine, the height of the pedal exhibited in 1/2 gait cycle. (Because the gait of the left and right feet is similar, only 1/2 gait cycle is displayed, while the gait of the left and right foot is 1/2 gait cycle). According to the normal gait in Fig. 4A and the gait of the gait training machine, the compensation of the pedal height in a gait cycle in Fig. 4B can be obtained.
特別是在進行復健訓練的應用上,傳統步態訓練機亦同時使用懸吊系統,在復健訓練過程中,將使用者進行懸吊,以防止使用者跌倒。然而,過去的步態訓練機無法在步行時,調整重心的水平高度,會造成懸吊系統需要更複雜的高度補償設計。所以,本發明之第三實施策略,更可改進先前步態訓練機需搭配較複雜昂貴的懸吊系統來使用的缺點。 Especially in the application of rehabilitation training, the traditional gait training machine also uses the suspension system, and during the rehabilitation training, the user is suspended to prevent the user from falling. However, past gait trainers were unable to adjust the level of gravity when walking, which would cause the suspension system to require a more complex height compensation design. Therefore, the third implementation strategy of the present invention can further improve the disadvantages of the previous gait training machine to be used with a more complicated and expensive suspension system.
本發明之踏板調整結構尚存在有許多的實施態樣,可以從機械相關領域的書藉即可輕易完成。亦可利用常見的控制套件來實現,例如:利用步進馬達即可達到角度的控制,利用伸縮桿(如第7圖所示)即可達到高度的控制。 There are many implementations of the pedal adjustment structure of the present invention, which can be easily accomplished by borrowing from books in the mechanical field. It can also be achieved with a common control kit, for example: angle control with a stepper motor and high degree of control with a telescopic rod (as shown in Figure 7).
依據上述實施內容可輕易得出本發明之一種調整步態之調整方法。該調整步態方法係應用於一步態訓練機上。其中,該步態訓練機包括一踏板,該調整方法包含有: According to the above implementation, an adjustment method of the adjustment gait of the present invention can be easily obtained. The adjusted gait method is applied to a one-step training machine. Wherein, the gait training machine comprises a pedal, and the adjusting method comprises:
步驟一:得到一預先決定步態曲線以及相對於該步態訓練機之一步態曲線;步驟二:依據該預先決定步態曲線以及相對於該步態訓練機之該步態曲 線,以得出一調整步態曲線資料;例如:二者步態曲線相減即可得出該調整步態曲線資料。當然還可進行簡化後得出該調整步態曲線資料。 Step 1: obtaining a predetermined gait curve and a gait curve relative to the gait training machine; Step 2: Depending on the predetermined gait curve and the gait curve relative to the gait training machine Line, to obtain an adjusted gait curve data; for example, the two gait curves are subtracted to obtain the adjusted gait curve data. Of course, the gait curve can be obtained by simplification.
