Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a training apparatus for walk practice,

The present invention relates to a functional gait training apparatus, and more particularly to a functional gait training apparatus, and more particularly, to a functional gait training apparatus, and more particularly to a gait training apparatus, The present invention relates to a functional walking training device necessary for a functional walking training to improve or restore the walking ability of a trainee so as to train the user in the environment.

Walking is a way of moving people, and it is walking with two feet moving the limbs in a normally symmetrical shift pattern.

In addition, the upright walking which supports the weight with two legs is a highly developed exercise that only a human can perform, and is a basic operation and function for maintaining a life as a human being.

Therefore, if obstacles to upright walking are not only physically constrained by exercise, but also obstacles to social activities and even mental problems can occur.

In order to solve these problems and to make a right walk, static balancing ability and dynamic balancing ability are needed, and two factors of symmetry and balance are clinically important factors for achieving the ultimate goal of walking.

The reason why bilateral gait training, static balance training, and dynamic balance training are important for the patient preparing for gait is that weakness in weakness, weakness in normal posture, weakness in central nervous system such as spinal cord injury or stroke patients, , Excessive cooperative reactions, reflexes, sensation and loss of balance are problems that make walking difficult.

Forced gait training, or treadmill training, before a voluntary gait can be performed on a patient with these problems, maximizes the cooperative response, rather than based on the patient's background data, thereby increasing the asymmetrical and unbalanced pattern .

On the other hand, a symmetrical and rhythmic gait pattern that learns appropriate afferent stimuli can induce correct plasticity of the right brain by promoting normal biomechanical movements and feedbacking them back.

Therefore, if the patient is difficult to voluntarily walk, inducing a symmetrical gait using a tool can allow the patient to learn normal gait without triggering compensatory action or muscle rigidity.

In addition, it is possible to perform not only general static balance training, but also dynamic balance training required when walking, if visual feedback can confirm and correct the patient's walking ability.

Second, patients with abnormal gait patterns in the musculoskeletal viewpoint cause arthritis in the affected joints, which are heavily weighted.

Thus, a gait pattern in which the stance phase is lengthened depending on the unilateral side may cause a secondary problem in which the pain and malfunction of the uninjured side eventually give up walking.

In addition, asymmetrical weight bearing and walking habits lead to lumbar alignment problems, which can cause secondary back pain due to scoliosis.

In the early rehabilitation of patients with brain damage, aggressive rehabilitation exercises are also important. However, in order to reduce the weakness of the patient's muscles and instability of the joints and the disturbance of the afferent senses, early symmetrical dynamic walking training is performed, It is important to learn the normal exercise control and to learn symmetrical dynamic training.

In addition, continuous training using instruments improves the brain reversibility to the correct learning effect, promotes balancing ability learning through symmetrical training, and adjusts the step length and walking speed according to the walking ability to perform more normal walking training Can effectively help.

Therefore, gait training requires training equipment that can be easily handled and adapted to the situation of the patient, the elderly, and the trainee who need rehabilitation, but can also be properly trained.

However, rehabilitation and training equipment used in medical institutions and rehabilitation facilities are expensive and it is difficult to cope with the malfunction of the equipment promptly and it is difficult to cope with the problems such as maintenance cost In addition to expensive equipment or low cost equipment, it is a relatively simple gait training device that does not change the walking environment, which limits the ability of the trainee to improve their walking ability.

In other words, equipment that can train the gait pattern most similar to the gait pattern used in real life, which can be treated and rehabilitated by the patient's own exercise by the muscle strengthening training, muscle adjustment training, stretching, balance training necessary for the gait need.

As shown in Fig. 9 (a), a "gait training apparatus using dynamic analysis" (hereinafter referred to as "prior art 1") of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0702898 A treadmill having a belt rotated by a roller installed to adjust the rotational speed according to the walking speed, signal means attached to the body of the pedestrian and sending out a signal about movement of the body to the outside, And a display unit for displaying the data of the control unit to a pedestrian, wherein the gait trainer uses the motion analysis to continuously analyze the gait during the process of walking, .

As another prior art, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), a "walking rehabilitation training system" (hereinafter referred to as "prior art 2") of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1064891 is a state in which a belt is stopped In the case of a rehabilitation patient aligning a pair of legs on a stopped belt or moving the center of gravity of the body in a state of being stretched with a certain stride, this is sensed, and when the rehabilitation patient moves the center of gravity of the body while the belt is moving, An interface for outputting a signal indicative of a walking state according to dynamic balance training and dynamic balance training, a microcomputer for transmitting a training state of a rehabilitation patient to an external computer through a data transmitting and receiving unit upon receipt of a signal, Static Balance Training and Dynamic Balance Unilateral dysfunction including stroke, spinal injury including training and visual display of walking status The present invention relates to a gait rehabilitation training system that adds a PC function to a conventional gait rehabilitation training system capable of simultaneously performing bilateral gait training and static and dynamic balance training for paralysis patients.

However, the conventional techniques including the prior art 1 to the prior art 2 are such that the trainee analyzes the walking state and the walking motion for walking when the ground is evenly formed, or performs balanced training. In one aspect, Although it is an important technique for measuring information about static conditions, it is necessary to train specific circumstances, such as training on rugged irregularly rising grounds, specific information on the dynamic condition of the trainee in a specific environment, There are aspects that are not enough to be applied with the backing technology.

In other words, there are limitations in the technique that can measure the walking ability of the trainee in the training and the training in consideration of the specific environment.
