MECHATRONIC DEVICE FOR REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH DISTURBANCES OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES

摘要

The utility model relates to the field of medicine, namely to devices for restoring the functional activity of the lower extremities. A mechatronic device for the rehabilitation of patients with impaired function of the lower extremities, comprising a supporting and auxiliary platform with shin attachment elements, characterized in that it comprises a drive made in the form of three translational drives, the lower ends of which are pivotally mounted on the supporting platform, and the upper ends are pivotally attached to the shank attachment element, the device further comprises a rotational motion drive mounted motionlessly on the support platform and kinematically connected with auxiliary platform, while the axis of rotation of the auxiliary platform should coincide with the axis of rotation of the ankle joint in the sagittal, frontal planes and relative to the longitudinal axis of the lower leg, and the instantaneous axis of rotation of the auxiliary platform passes through a given point determined by the physiological characteristics of the ankle joint. The use of this device will reduce the rehabilitation time, provide a complete restoration of joint mobility. It can be used to prevent adhesions of the joint, prevent stiffness in the joint, improve lymph and blood circulation, and prevent thrombosis and embolism. The device can be used to create training stands for athletes involved in cyclic sports. 1 ill.
