Rehabilitation or mobility assistance device for e.g. paralyzed dog, has driveshaft shaped so as to move hind legs of animal synchronously in phase opposition like movement of chainset, where axle controls rotation of driveshaft from wheel

摘要

The device has a rigid chassis (1) on which two side wheels (2, 3) are mounted, where the device is in the form of trolley. A rear harness (4) is supported by the chassis to receive hindquarters of a quadruped animal. A crankshaft-type driveshaft (30) has crankpins to which a moving unit constituted of elongated cradles (34) and bootees, is attached for moving hind legs of the animal. The driveshaft is shaped so as to move each of the hind legs synchronously in phase opposition like the movement of a chainset. A support axle (80) controls the rotation of the driveshaft from one of the wheels.
