Definitions

  • the invention relates to a training device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a lever provided with two handles is pivotably mounted on a vertical support about a horizontal axis.
  • the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder-cylinder unit is articulated to the lever between the handles and the articulation point on the support, the cylinder of which is articulated below the articulated connection of the lever to the support.
  • the lever provided with handles can only be pressed down or raised for exercise purposes, so that this has only a limited area of application having.
  • the possible uses of the known training device can not be expanded easily because the lever with the hydraulic cylinder and the support is a space-consuming construction that can be difficult to adapt to other movements to achieve other training effects.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a training device of the type mentioned, the unit generating the reaction moment and consisting of the lever and the hydraulic cylinder has a stable space-saving construction, so that it can be easily adapted to different exercises.
  • the reaction torque is generated in a manner known per se when the lever is pivoted in that the hydraulic fluid is displaced by the piston depending on its direction of movement from one cylinder chamber to the other, the magnitude of the reaction torque depending on the throttling of the hydraulic Liquid in the channel and the throttle device depends. Since the reaction torque increases approximately with the square of the angular speed of the pivoting movement of the lever, the patient or the practitioner can choose the desired resistance through the speed of the movement carried out. If the reaction moment becomes too large, the practicing person can interrupt the movement at any time, which also means that the reaction moment becomes zero. In the event of an interruption, there are no forces on the limbs or body parts to be trained more one. If the practicing person resumes the movement, he can practically increase the reaction moment starting from zero, since almost no resistance to static friction can be overcome.
  • the training device according to the invention can thus be used in an ideal manner with gentle treatment, and high stress levels are also possible.
  • the unit generating the reaction moment for the exercising person consists of the lever articulated directly from the hydraulic cylinder, it can be arranged in a space-saving manner in such a way that a large number of different exercises can be carried out.
  • a training device in which a lever is connected to a pivot shaft, the rotational movement of which is transmitted by a chain drive to a second pivot shaft, to which a lever is connected, to which one end of a gas spring is articulated , whose other end is pivotally mounted in the frame.
  • This known training device is provided with a very complex and space-consuming gear for converting a rotary movement into a translatory movement, so that the adaptation of this device to different exercises requires an additional considerable design effort.
  • the throttle device expediently consists of an adjustable throttle valve. By setting the throttle cross-section, the achievable resistance or the desired reaction torque can be adapted to the respective training conditions.
  • an adjustable throttle valve is arranged in the end regions of the channel arranged in the cylinder wall or through it, that the piston consists of two rigidly connected piston disks which delimit a piston chamber between them, that in each piston disk a check valve permitting a flow into the adjacent cylinder chamber is arranged and that the channel between the throttle valves is provided with a line opening through the cylinder wall into the piston chamber.
  • This configuration allows the throttle valves to be set to different cross sections, so that the forward movement takes place at the same speed with a different reaction torque than the return movement. This can be appropriate according to the limbs or body parts to be trained and moved and according to the selected training program.
  • the hydraulic fluid displaced from a cylinder chamber is essentially throttled only by the adjacent throttle valve and can then through the piston chamber and the opposite Flow the non-return valve into the other cylinder chamber bypassing the other throttle valve.
  • the transmission can be formed in an advantageous and simple manner in that the pivot shaft extends through the cylinder between the piston disks and is mounted in opposite areas of the cylinder wall and in that the piston between the piston disks is provided with an axially parallel rack, with which one with the pivot shaft fixed pinion combs.
  • the transmission can also be formed by a crank and a connecting rod or eccentric.
  • the cylinder is expediently connected to the training device consisting of a chair, a couch or the like in such a way that the pivot shaft is essentially aligned with the axis of the joint or diffraction center of the limb or body part to be trained.
  • the cylinder is connected to the pivot shaft of a second cylinder of the same type attached to the training device in such a way that it is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the first cylinder.
  • This configuration enables, as it were, cardanic spatial movements, such as are useful for training hip or shoulder joints, for example.
  • the cylinder can be provided with at least one device that measures the pressure of the hydraulic fluid in a cylinder chamber.
  • This device can display the respective reaction moment to the patient or the doctor.
  • a device can be provided which displays the measured pressure and / or determines the work and / or the power from this and displays and / or registers this.
  • the work done by the patient can be calculated from the respective resistance and the swivel angles, the angular velocity still having to be measured to determine the power.
  • the swivel angle of the lever can be adjusted by stops. Furthermore, the length of the lever arm of the lever is expediently adjustable.
  • the gymnastic device according to the invention consists, for example, of a training chair
  • the lower leg of the patient can be attached to the lever by means of padded pressure plates and fixing straps.
  • the thigh lies firmly on the seat of the chair and is also fixed by means of straps.
  • a lap belt can be provided to stabilize the hips and torso.
  • the pressure shell is expediently rotatably mounted in its starting point on the length-adjustable lever arm and can also be adjusted to the required length of the patient's spine, so that the drawer load on the knee joint ligaments is kept as low as possible.
  • the training device makes it possible to keep the risk of stress on the patient's joint apparatus as low as possible. Therefore, adjustment, support and stabilization devices should be provided at the required points.
  • the muscles to be trained can be moved as much as possible by the patient in order to achieve the greatest possible training success in the shortest possible time.
  • Controlling measuring devices can give the patient or exerciser and also the therapist a constant overview of the load and the success of the exercise programs. Data storage for statistics and program design is also possible.
  • a pivot point can be determined which corresponds to the imaginary center of the joint.
  • a hinge joint there is a turning line. It is the imaginary plumb line through all the planes lying in the longitudinal direction of the two legs. Two planes perpendicular to each other intersect at the pivot point.
  • the axis of rotation or the fulcrum of the lever should be able to track and fix spatially the imaginary center of the joint.
  • the circular movement of the two legs can be converted into a rectified forward and backward thrust of the hydraulic hydraulic piston.
  • the throttle device can consist of a work compensation duct, the overflow bores of which are arranged so that it can be used for the directions of movement, by means of two throttle screws.
  • a multi-channel system with several throttle screws can also be used.
  • the rotary movement can be registered using a rotary encoder and visualized on a digital or analog display, which can be set to the starting or end position from any position.
  • the oil pressure can be detected by pressure sensors and made visible either digitally or in an analog way.
  • the measured values recorded can be fed directly to a data processing system, stored, evaluated and printed out.
  • the range of motion of the joint to be trained can be limited by lockable stops.
  • the patient's medical data can be entered, for example the weight of the lower leg, which falls back completely relaxed from stretching.
  • both the agonistic and the antagonistic side can be trained.
  • the device according to the invention can be used in the form of a training chair, for example, for strengthening and general aftercare of postoperative knee and muscle injuries. Furthermore, the training device according to the invention can be used to strengthen the entire ankle muscles in the pronation-supination and dorsal-plantar flexion range.
  • the training device according to the invention can also be used with particular advantage for general and special strengthening of the trunk muscles while keeping the spinal area in good condition.
  • the entire hip area, including the gruteal muscles, can be trained with the device. It can also be used, for example, to move the muscle parts of the shoulder joint to strengthen the various areas of movement. It can also be used to strengthen the forearm and wrist muscles.
