BACKGROUND

Embodiments of the inventive concept described herein relate to a rehabilitation training apparatus, and more particularly to a rehabilitation training apparatus by which rehabilitation training of the joints of a wrist and a shoulder of the user can be performed.

In general, the joints of the human body are configured such that adjacent parts of the joints may be rotated about the joints.

Meanwhile, the aged persons or the patients with disability, whose muscular forces are weak, have difficulties in exercising their joints as compared with healthy persons, and it is substantially difficult to exercise with general sports equipment in spite of the needs of exercises.

In particular, because the patients who had surgical operations on the wrists and shoulders cannot exercise by themselves, the joints of the wrists and the shoulders may be stiff and hardened due to the weal muscles and insufficient supply of nutrients.

Accordingly, long-term rehabilitation training is necessary to prevent deformation of the joints and allow the patients to return to normal activities.

Meanwhile, most of the conventional rehabilitation apparatuses have only a function of constraining the angles of the joints of the wrists and the shoulders of the user to prevent excessive exercises.

Accordingly, studies on the rehabilitation training apparatuses configured to change the angles of the joints with actuators have been made.

Therefore, the applicant has developed a rehabilitation training apparatus by which rehabilitation training of the joints of the wrists and the shoulders can be made while a hand of the user is held.

The housing 67 for a holder has a structure that may be vertically separated, and accommodates the motor 51 for a holder, the power transmission unit for a holder, and the clutch 65 for a holder such that the motor 51 for a holder, the power transmission unit for a holder, and the clutch 65 for a holder are not exposed to the outside. Further, on one side of the housing 67 for a holder, the support bracket 39 of the hand holder 35 is supported by a coupling unit (not illustrated).

Here, although not illustrated, as another embodiment, the holder driving unit 41 does not include a power transmission unit for a holder, and the clutch 65 for a holder is interposed between the motor 51 for a holder and the pinion 49 for a holder such that power of the motor 51 for a holder may be selectively transmitted to the pinion 49 for a holder via the clutch 65 for a holder or may not be transmitted to the pinion 49 for a holder.

The track driving unit 71 reciprocally moves the second track 31 along the first tracks 11a and 11b.

As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the track driving unit 71 includes a guide 73 for a track that is arranged along one 11a of the first tracks 11a and 11b, a guide block 75 for a track to which the second track 31 is connected and which is reciprocally moved along the guide 73 for a track, a rack 77 for a track that has a plurality of gear teeth along a lengthwise direction of the guide 73 for a track, a pinion 79 for a track that is engaged with the rack 77 for a track to be rotated, a motor 81 for a track that generates a rotational force in the pinion 79 for a track, a power transmission unit for a track that is provided between the motor 81 for a track and the pinion 79 to transmit power of the motor 81 of a track, a clutch 95 for a track that engages or disengages the power transmitted from the power transmission unit for a track to the pinion 79 for a track, and a housing 97 for a track that supports the guide block 75 for a track.

The guide 73 for a track secures a movement space of the guide block 75 for a track, and is accommodated in and coupled to the interior of the first track 11a.

The guide block 75 for a track is reciprocally coupled to the guide 73 for a track. One side of the guide block 75 for a track protrudes from the first track groove 13 of the first track 11a, and is supported by the bottom of the second track 31.

The pinion 79 for a track is coupled to a pinion shaft 80 for a track, and the pinion shaft 80 for a track is rotatably supported by the housing 97 for a track.

Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the power transmission unit for a track includes a first gear 85 for a track that is coupled to a shaft of the motor 81 for a track, a second gear 89 for a track that is engaged with the first gear 85 for a track to be rotated and is coupled to a power transmission shaft 87 for a track, a third gear 91 for a track that is engaged with the second gear 89 for a track to be rotated and is coupled to one end of the clutch 95 for a track, and a fourth gear 93 for a track that is coupled to an opposite end of the clutch 95 for a track to be opposite to the third gear 91 for a track while the clutch 95 for a track being interposed therebetween and is engaged with the pinion 79 for a track to be rotated.

The housing 97 for a track has a structure that may be vertically separated, and accommodates the motor 81 for a track, the power transmission unit for a track, and the clutch 95 for a track such that the motor 51 for a track, the power transmission unit for a track, and the clutch 65 for a track are not exposed to the outside. Further, on one side of the housing 97 for a track, the guide block 75 for a track is supported by a coupling unit (not illustrated).

Here, although not illustrated, as another embodiment, the track driving unit 71 does not include a power transmission unit for a track, and the clutch 95 for a track is interposed between the motor 81 for a track and the pinion 79 for a track such that power of the motor 81 for a track may be selectively transmitted to the pinion 79 for a track via the clutch 95 for a track or may not be transmitted to the pinion 79 for a track.

Further, the rehabilitation training apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the inventive concept includes a control unit 101 that controls driving of the holder driving unit 41 and the track driving unit 71 such that the hand holder 35 is moved along a plane defined by the pair of first tracks 11a and 11b and the second track 31.

The control unit 101 is received in the housing 67 for a holder and controls rotational speeds and a rotational directions of the motor 51 for a holder and the motor 81 for a track to change a movement direction and a speed of the hand holder 35, based on coordinate data and movement speed data for a pattern that is set in advance along a plane defined by the pair of first tracks 11a and 11b and the second track 31. For example, if the control unit 101 controls the rotational speeds of the motor 51 for a holder and the motor 81 for a track differently, the hand holder 35 is moved linearly, in a curved manner, or while freely drawing a curve.

Here, the control unit 101 may not be received in the housing 67 for a holder but may be received in the housing 97 for a track.

Meanwhile, reference numeral 99 that has not been described denotes a coupling bolt that couples the second track 31 and the guide block 75 for a track. Further, reference numeral 121 that has not been described denotes a battery for supplying electric power to the rehabilitation training apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the inventive concept.

According to the configuration, the rehabilitation training apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the inventive concept may be operated in an automatic mode such that an arm of the patient is moved along a specific path by driving of the motors 51 and 81 of the holder driving unit 41 and the track driving unit 71 and may be operated in a manual mode such that an arm of the patient is moved along a specific path by a force of the user.

First, a case in which the rehabilitation training apparatus 10 is operated in a manual mode will be described below.

After a hand and an arm of the user is held on the hand holder 35, the angle of the joints of a wrist and a shoulder of the user may be changed for rehabilitation training, by applying a force to freely move the hand holder 35 along arrangement directions of the first tracks 11a and 11b and an arrangement direction of the second track 31, for example, moving the hand holder 35 in a desired direction by using a fine muscular force of the user. Then, the clutch 65 for a holder of the holder driving unit 41 disengages transmission of power so that the power of the motor 51 for a holder is not transmitted to the pinion 49 for a holder. At the same time, the clutch 95 for a track of the track driving unit 71 disengages transmission of power so that the power of the motor 81 for a track is not transmitted to the pinion 79 for a track.

Next, a case in which the rehabilitation training apparatus 10 is operated in an automatic mode will be described below.

The control unit 101 drives the holder driving unit 41 and the track driving unit 71 such that the hand holder 35 is moved along the plane defined by the pair of first tracks 11a and 11b and the second track 31.

That is, if the clutch 65 for a holder is switched to a power transmission state by a control signal of the control unit 101 and the motor 51 for a holder is forwardly rotated by applying an electric voltage to the motor 51 for a holder such that the power of the motor 51 for a holder is transmitted to the pinion 49 for a holder, the power of the motor 51 for a holder is transmitted to the first gear 55 for a holder, the second gear 59 for a holder, the third gear 61 for a holder, the fourth gear 63 for a holder, and the pinion 49 for a holder. Accordingly, the pinion 49 for a holder is reciprocally moved along the rack 47 for a holder and the housing 67 for a holder is reciprocally moved along the second track 31 at the same time, and the hand holder 35 connected to the housing 67 for a holder and the guide block 45 for a holder is guided by the guide 43 for a holder and is reciprocally moved along the second track 31.

At the same time, if the clutch 95 for a track is switched to a power transmission state by a control signal of the control unit 101 and the motor 81 for a track is forwardly rotated by applying an electric voltage to the motor 81 for a track such that the power of the motor 81 for a track is transmitted to the pinion 79 for a track, the power of the motor 81 for a track is transmitted to the first gear 85 for a track, the second gear 89 for a track, the third gear 91 for a track, the clutch 95 for a track, the fourth gear 93 for a track, and the pinion 79 for a track. Accordingly, the pinion 79 for a track is linearly reciprocally moved along the rack 77 for a track and the housing 97 for a track is reciprocally moved along one 11a of the first tracks 11a and 11b at the same time, and the guide block 45 for a track connected to the housing 97 for a track is guided by the guide 73 for a track and is reciprocally moved along the first track 11a. Accordingly, the second track 31 supported by the guide block 75 for a track is also reciprocally moved along the first tracks 11a and 11b.

Accordingly, the hand of the user held by the hand holder 35 is moved by a control signal of the control unit 101 while forming various patterns along the plane defined by the pair of first tracks 11a and 11b and the second track 31, on the plane defined by the pair of first tracks 11a and 11b and the second track 31, so that rehabilitation training may be performed while the angles of the joints of a wrist and a shoulder of the user is changed.

Here, the control unit 101 may switch the clutch 65 for a holder to a power transmission state such that the power of the motor 51 for a holder is transmitted to the pinion 49 for a holder, switch the clutch 95 for a track to a power interruption state such that the power of the motor 81 for a track is not transmitted to the pinion 79 for a track, and reciprocally move the hand holder 35 only in the direction of the second track, thereby allowing the user to perform rehabilitation training for the joints of the wrists and a shoulder of the user.

Meanwhile, the rehabilitation training apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the inventive concept may further include a pattern recognizing unit 105 that is provided in the hand holder 35 to recognize coordinate data for a printing pattern printed in a printout provided on the plane defined by the pair of first tracks 11a and 11b and the second track 31. The pattern recognizing unit 105 may be an optical recognition sensor or a photo sensor. Although it is illustrated in the embodiment that the pattern recognizing unit 105 is provided in the housing 67 for a holder, the inventive concept is not limited thereto and the pattern recognizing unit 105 may be provided in the second track 31.

In this way, when the pattern recognizing unit 105 is provided, the control unit 101 may control driving of the holder driving unit 41 and the track driving unit 71 such that the hand holder 35 is moved, based on the coordinate data for the printing pattern recognized by the pattern recognizing unit 105.

Further, the rehabilitation training unit 10 according to the embodiment of the inventive concept may further include a memory that is provided in the housing 67 for a hand holder and in which plane coordinate data and movement speed data for the movement pattern, in which the hand holder 35 is to be moved, are stored.

In this way, when the memory 111 is provided, the control unit 101 may control the driving of the holder driving unit 41 and the track driving unit 71, based on the coordinate data and the movement speed data for the movement pattern received through the memory 111, prior to the coordinate data for the printing pattern received from the pattern recognizing unit 105.

That is, the memory 111 provides the plane coordinate data and the movement speed data for the movement pattern, in which the hand holder 35 stored in the memory 111 is to be moved, to the control unit 101.

The control unit 101 controls movement of the hand holder 35, by controlling the rotational speeds and the directions of the motor 51 for a holder and the motor 81 for a track, based on the coordinate data and the movement speed data for the movement pattern provided through the memory 111.

In this way, as the memory 111 is provided, rehabilitation training may be performed by selectively receiving a movement pattern through the memory 111 according to the characteristics of the user and changing the angles of the joints in a preset direction based on the coordinate data and the movement speed data for the movement pattern stored in the memory 111 while a hand of the user is held in the hand holder 35.

Further, the rehabilitation training unit 10 according to the embodiment of the inventive concept may further include a communication module that is provided in the housing 67 for a holder to receive plane coordinate data and movement speed data for the movement pattern, in which the hand holder 35 is to be moved, from an external device.

In this way, when the communication module 115 is provided, the control unit 101 may control the driving of the holder driving unit 41 and the track driving unit 71, based on the coordinate data and the movement speed data for the movement pattern received through the communication module 115, prior to the coordinate data for the printing pattern received from the pattern recognizing unit 105.

That is, the control unit 101 controls movement of the hand holder 35, by controlling the rotational speeds and the directions of the motor 51 for a holder and the motor 81 for a track, based on the coordinate data and the movement speed data for the movement pattern provided through the communication module 115.

In this way, as the communication module 115 is provided, rehabilitation training may be performed by transmitting a control signal for the movement pattern according to the characteristics of the user to the control unit 101 through the communication module 115 and changing the angles of the joints in various directions based on the coordinate data and the movement speed data for the movement pattern received through the communication module while a hand of the user is held in the hand holder 35.

Here, when the communication module 115 is provided, the control unit 101 may control the driving of the holder driving unit 41 and the track driving unit 71 according to the coordinate data and the movement speed data for the movement pattern received through the communication module 115, prior to the coordinate data and the movement data for the printing pattern received from the pattern recognizing unit 105 or the coordinate data and the movement speed data for the movement pattern provided through the memory 111.

In this way, according to the inventive concept, rehabilitation training may be performed by movably arranging the second track in the pair of first tracks arranged in parallel at an interval, reciprocating the hand holder in which a hand of the user is held along the second track and reciprocating the second track along the pair of first tracks at the same time to move the hand holder according to the characteristics of the user I various patterns, and changing the angles of the joints of a wrist and a shoulder of the user.

According to the inventive concept, rehabilitation training may be performed by moving a hand holder in which a hand of the user is held according to characteristics of the user in various patterns and changing the angles of the joints of a wrist and a shoulder of the user. Further, rehabilitation training may be performed by moving a hand holder in a desired direction by using fine muscular forces and changing the angles of the joints of a wrist and a shoulder of the user.

While the inventive concept has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the inventive concept. Therefore, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limiting, but illustrative.
