Description

Multi-function action rehabilitation aid

The present invention relates to a rehabilitation aid, and more particularly to a multifunctional active rehabilitation aid suitable for use by a user with limited mobility for rehabilitation.

Taiwan has gradually entered an aging society. The care of the disabled, the disadvantaged and the elderly is the current goal of the government. Taking the elderly as an example, the most likely fall accident will not only lead to physical injury to the elderly ( Inadequate inconvenience caused by inconvenience caused by fractures or soft tissue injuries, and then the invisible fear of falling again, will affect the confidence and psychological barriers of the elderly in daily life, if they are constrained by self-restricted activities or caregivers Actions will not only accelerate the disability of the elderly themselves, but also indirectly increase the burden of family and social costs.

Furthermore, the muscular endurance and coordination of the limbs of the elderly are degraded with age, and the ability to autonomous activities is gradually lost. At this time, it is necessary to assist with the aid of related aids to move easily. Therefore, the development of the elderly for the elderly, inconvenience or A walking aid used by disabled persons is used as an auxiliary aid, prevention, and exercise aid.

Referring to Fig. 1, there is a new type of "Mour Walker" of the Republic of China No. M407746, which discloses a conventional walker which comprises a pair of support tubes 11 and a grip 17. A support shoulder 15 is disposed at a top end of the support tube 11, a corresponding hole 111, 113 is respectively formed at the middle portion, and a support portion 13 is coupled to the lower end, and the two sides of the grip 17 respectively include a half arc a concave portion 173, and a perforated portion 171 is disposed between the two sides. The two semi-circular concave portions 173 can be individually sleeved on the corresponding support tube 11 and then sequentially passed through a locking screw 18 One hole The hole 111, the perforated portion 171, and another hole 113 are then sleeved on the locking screw 18 for locking, so that the grip 17 can be fixed between the two supporting tubes 11.

The main purpose of the custom creation is to provide a The grip 17 of the walker 1 is modified in such a manner that the semi-circular concave portion 173 provided on both sides of the grip 17 of the walker 1 is fitted over the two support tubes 11 to make the support The tube 11 resists the opportunity for the grip 17 to rotate, thereby improving the firmness of the grip 17 and increasing the safety of the user when using the walker 1.

However, in the process of using the walker 1, when making The user wants to take a break after walking for a while, but when there is no suitable place or seat for the ride, the user can only stand and rest, making the weak body more uncomfortable, and is indeed greatly restricted in use. It can be seen that the conventional walker 1 cannot provide other functional designs, and its practicality and convenience are indeed to be discussed.

From the above description, it is known that the following disadvantages still occur in actual use:

First, insufficient security

The conventional walker 1 has only a single point of land for stable support of the patient. During use, the walker 1 must be continuously supported by the human hand and the body. Once the hand is released, the walker 1 will be afraid. It should not be used as an aid to assist the inconvenience, and when the ground is tilted or the road is uneven, the use of the walker 1 may cause a fall or injury, and the user cannot use it with peace of mind. The walker 1.

Second, poor comfort

When the walker 1 is used, it is held by the hand and the body and abuts against the shoulder 15 and the grip 17. For the user who is inconvenient to move, the palm, wrist, lower arm and elbow of the body The upper arm and the shoulder are both at the same time, which is not only extremely laborious, but also It will cause a heavy burden on the body and make the user more tired and weak. It can be seen that the walker 1 cannot meet the requirements of labor saving and comfort.

Third, lack of functionality

The walker 1 disclosed in the prior art only serves as a single function for assisting a user with limited mobility, and for a user who cannot stand or walk for a long time, it will cause inconvenience in use, and the conventional help Line 1 has no additional functional design and does not meet the needs of modern people who are looking for convenience and diversity.

The above shortcomings all show various problems derived from the use of the conventional walker 1, such as the ability to create assistive, rehabilitation, sports, and entertainment accessories, so that the walker can achieve comfort and exercise. The core goal of entertainment is not only to meet the aging and disadvantaged groups, but also to expand the benefits to those who are rehabilitated or used by the general public. It is worthwhile to look forward to the human-centered thinking and the user-centered design concept.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-functional action rehabilitation aid comprising a skeleton unit, a rocking unit, and a multimedia unit.

The skeleton unit comprises two spaced apart tripods, and two connecting rods respectively connected to the bipod, each of the tripods is generally inverted U-shaped and has a gripping section for the user to hold by hand, and two A connecting section that connects the holding section and stands on the ground, and the two connecting rods are respectively disposed on the holding section and the supporting section to connect the two legs. The rocking unit is pivotally connected to the skeleton unit, and includes two pivoting sections respectively pivotally connected to the gripping sections of the tripod, and two hands respectively disposed on the two pivoting sections and held by the user. The grip segments and the two pedal segments respectively disposed under the two pivoting segments and available for the user to step on the foot. The multimedia unit is detachably disposed on the skeleton The unit includes a body, a display screen disposed on the body, and an audio player disposed on the body.

The utility model has the beneficial effects that the skeleton unit, the rocking unit and the multimedia unit are mutually arranged, and the two connecting rods disposed on the supporting section of the bipod are provided to provide a user's stable action aid. The swinging unit can hold the human hand on the second-hand grip and position the human foot on the two-pedal section, thereby providing a user's exercise and fitness function of using the swinging unit easily, thereby providing the user with assistance and rehabilitation. The combination of sports, entertainment and entertainment makes the walker reach the core goal of comfort, sports and entertainment to meet the needs of users of different ethnic groups.
