Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a force measuring device for measuring a physical force acting on a foot with at least one under the foot attachable force measuring device, wherein the force measuring device of at least one arranged in a sole member bending body and at least one attached to the bending body strain gauges, wherein the or the strain gauge strip is or are connected to a measuring circuit arranged in the sole-like element and an evaluation unit connected to the measuring circuit for determining the absolute force.
  • a variety of force gauges for measuring foot force are known. Such force gauges are used in particular in persons who have suffered fractures in the context of convalescence.
  • the broken bones should first be loaded with small forces and then rising to the normally absorbed body forces.
  • the injured leg should first not be loaded with the full body weight but, for example, with 30 kg (about 300 N).
  • known force measuring devices on acoustic and / or optical signaling devices that emit a corresponding warning signal.
  • the DE 196 12 334 A1 a portable foot-load warning device for leg- and hip-operated patients known, which has to be attached under the foot of the patient pressure sensor, connected to this function connected pressure-current / voltage converter, an electronic comparator, when exceeding a presettable current or Voltage limit generates an optical or acoustic signal, a controller for manually setting this limit and a power source for supplying the electrical elements.
  • the pressure sensor may be a clamped bending rod with strain gauge strip applied thereto.

  • the measuring device is in turn equipped with a signal generator which emits an optical or acoustic signal when a predeterminable force value is exceeded.
  • a so-called foot-sole balance which consists of an insole or the like with integrated force-measuring device and a portable, battery-operated electronic part connected to the force measuring device with a setting system for setting a desired load range.
  • the force measuring device has a display system for the acoustic display of excesses of the set load range.
  • pressure sensors with strain gauges are used for the force measuring device, which are arranged on the one hand in the ball area and on the other hand in the heel area of the insole.
  • a disadvantage of the known force measuring devices is that they reflect the actual effective total weight or the actually acting total force or load on the foot only inadequately. Due to different foot sizes and the resulting bearing surfaces on the measuring device results in different weight results different measurement results. Furthermore, the actual load conditions are falsified by, for example, a slight inclination of the foot within the force gauge.
  • the strain gauge or strips is connected to a arranged in the sole member measuring circuit, wherein the measuring circuit is connected to an evaluation unit for determining the absolute force.
  • the sole-like element has an at least two-part construction consisting of a sole body and at least one receiving opening for the bending body and a bottom side arranged appearance element, wherein the bending body is connected by means of first and second fastening device on the one hand with the appearance element and on the other hand with the sole body.
  • the appearance element is formed in two parts, wherein a heel side arranged first partial element and a ball side arranged second partial element are each connected by means of the first fastening device with the bending body.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous in patients with a gypsum base, since in this case the foot can not be angled and the burden of the foot takes place here over a large area and must be measured accordingly.
  • the first and second fastening devices are each arranged on the respective strain gauges opposite ends of the bending body.
  • the measuring circuit and / or the evaluation unit is connected to an acoustic and / or optical signal transmitter.
  • a warning signal can advantageously be transmitted to the patient.
  • the evaluation unit it is possible for the evaluation unit to be connected to a display unit for displaying the actual weight load or for displaying the absolute force values.
  • the measuring circuit and / or the evaluation unit can also have an adjustment device for setting the desired load range.
  • the measuring circuit is arranged on a printed circuit board arranged in the sole-like element.
  • the measuring circuit, the adjusting device, the acoustic and / or optical signal transmitter and a power supply unit can be arranged on the printed circuit board.
  • the measuring circuit and / or the evaluation unit on a transmitter and / or receiver for the wireless transmission of measurement data or other data.
  • the measurement data supplied by the force measuring device can be fed to a data memory. This makes it possible on the one hand to display the measured data on a portable display. On the other hand, the storage of the measured data can be used to trace the course of therapy and therapeutic success as well as corresponding failures.
  • the bending body has a cavity in the area under or the strain gauges.
  • the cavity may be formed as a running through the bending body bore. The formation of the cavity ensures that even with small bends or deformations of the bending body a corresponding change in resistance in the strain gauge strip takes place. In this way even small forces can be reliably measured.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a force measuring device 10 according to a first embodiment.
  • the force measuring device 10 has the shape of a shoe 58 to be attached to the foot.
