Description

Cycling apparatus for the rehabilitation of the legs}

The present invention relates to a bicycle recycling apparatus for lower limbs, but more specifically, a person who needs aerobic exercise, such as myocardial infarction patients, elderly people can easily do aerobic exercise bike lying down, but sit upright as well as oblique It relates to a bicycle exercise equipment for rehabilitation of the lower limbs, which can be performed even in the lying down position.

One of the most important abilities of a person is the ability to walk and move. If the lower body is paralyzed or uncomfortable, the person lacks sufficient walking or exercise for a long time. Not only can it be completely lost, but also the muscles of the legs will contract and degenerate. To prevent this, continuous and repetitive leg exercises must be performed.

As mentioned above, aerobic exercise including walking is suitable for almost all people, including paralyzed or uncomfortable lower body as well as elderly people who are less active, diabetics, and people at risk of myocardial infarction, such as walking time and place. Problems and physical limitations can make it difficult to do aerobic exercise outdoors.

As a representative device developed to easily perform aerobic exercise indoors for the case that it is difficult to exercise aerobic as described above is a treadmill (commonly called a "treadmill").

The treadmill is widely used as a representative aerobic exercise equipment that can start from walking to running, but the treadmill is only suitable for healthy people, but the elderly or patients who lack the strength of the lower body can be seriously injured if they fall during exercise. However, in terms of prevention of safety accidents, aerobic exercise equipment such as the elderly or patients with physical disabilities are not suitable.

Along with the treadmill as a representative aerobic exercise equipment may include a bicycle exercise equipment, the domestic utility model publication No. 1992-8132, "indoor bicycle for the whole body exercise" is published, and in Korea Patent Publication No. 1984-6912 Various types of bicycle exercise equipment have been developed and widely used, such as "bicycle exercise equipment".

The bicycle exercise equipment as described above is an aerobic exercise equipment suitable for the elderly as an exercise equipment that rotates the pedal as a foot while sitting in the saddle, but a general conventional bicycle exercise equipment rotates the pedal directly as a foot and a leg by a person. It is not suitable for people who are uncomfortable, such as difficulty in sitting.

That is, the conventional general bicycle exercise equipment, like a treadmill, is only suitable for aerobic exercise of a relatively healthy person, and there is an inadequate aspect as a recycling exercise machine of a person who is uncomfortable, including a person whose lower body is paralyzed.

As a device similar to a bicycle exercise device that can be used for rehabilitation of a paralyzed patient, the "rehabilitation exercise device" published in Korean Patent No. 799098 may be exemplified.

The mechanism of the patent is a configuration including a calf support and a thigh support disposed on a horizontal plane, the thigh support is bent vertically while rotating so that the calf support is lifted in a horizontal state, it is bent in the shape of the letter "a" The calf support and the thigh support allow the lower limb rehabilitation exercise to be performed automatically.

The device is relatively simple in structure, and has the advantage of automatically performing leg movements of the lower limb paralyzed patients, but it allows the knee joint to be bent at right angles while raising the thighs. In terms of the exercise effect, not only does it fall short of the bicycle movement, there is an inconvenience that the legs must always lie down.

In other words, the device of the patent is not only suitable for the initial rehabilitation exercise of the lower body paralyzed patients, but also less effective after the initial rehabilitation exercise, and not suitable for the normal person or the elderly who may have some discomfort, or those who need aerobic exercise. There are disadvantages.

The present invention has been devised to solve all the problems of the conventional bicycle exercise equipment, and also for the rehabilitation of myocardial infarction patients, diabetics who need aerobic exercise, as well as those who are uncomfortable to sit for a long time and lower limb paralysis patients. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bicycle exercise apparatus that can be used.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle exercise device that can exercise even in a fully lying or sitting position or lying down at an angle according to the physical condition of a person.

In addition, there is another object of the present invention to provide a bicycle exercise device that can be easily transported to another place as it is in the exercise state when the movement is inconvenient or lower limb paralyzed patients.

The object of the present invention, the pedal rotation unit is provided with a pedal capable of manual rotation and automatic rotation by the motor, the inclination can be adjusted, the body support portion provided with a saddle, backrest and headrest, and the base portion provided with a transfer wheel And the like.

The bicycle recycling apparatus of the lower limb of the present invention can rotate the pedal automatically or manually, so that not only normal people but especially myocardial infarction patients and diabetics can easily perform aerobic exercise, and are uncomfortable in motion or numb the lower body. Older people also have the advantage of aerobic exercise.

In addition, depending on the fatigue or physical conditions during exercise, you can exercise in a fully lying or sitting position or lying down at an angle, and there is an advantage that the patient with discomfort or lower limb paralysis can easily move to another place during exercise.

The present invention relates to a bicycle recycling apparatus for lower limbs, which makes it easy for a general person, a person who is inconvenient to move, as well as a person who is paralyzed from the lower body, to easily perform aerobic exercise.

Recycling bicycle exercise equipment of the present invention can not only exercise in a sitting position or lying down or obliquely lying down position depending on the physical condition of the user, but if the leg can be moved, the pedal is rotated by the force of the leg. If the legs are paralyzed or very difficult to move, the pedal automatically rotates to help rehabilitation of the leg is characterized by.
