Abstract

A device for rehabilitating patients especially with peripheral nervous system paralysis. The rehabilitation device comprising a remote control terminal, a base, an arm mounted to a column with adjustable height containing an motor propelling the arm and at least two electrodes of the electromyography (EMG) sensor according to the disclosure is characterized in that the actuator ( 7 ) enables the extension ( 4 ) to move within the angular range of 360°, while the EMG signal from the sensor connected to the muscle or muscles of the patient is transmitted to the network of the motor controlling module ( 2 ) and then further by radio or cable connection to a remote control terminal ( 1 ).

Claims (23)

1. A rehabilitation device comprising

a remote control terminal, a base,

an extension mounted to a column with adjustable height containing

a motor propelling the extension and at least two electrodes of an electromyography (EMG) sensor, comprising

the motor ( 7 ) that enables the extension ( 4 ) to move within the angular range of 360°, while an EMG signal from

a sensor adopted to the muscle or muscles of the patient is transmitted to a network of

a motor controlling module ( 2 ) and then further by

radio or cable connection to a remote control terminal ( 1 ) in a way that allows the device to initiate the extension ( 4 ) movement based on the signal from the EMG sensor.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in the head ( 8 ) from the side of the extension ( 4 ), on the circumference of the column front plate ( 6 ) there are openings ( 12 ) for mechanical blocking of the movement of the extension ( 4 ).

3. The device according to claim 1 , comprising the base ( 3 ) that is mounted on at least three wheels ( 11 ).

4. The device according to claim 1 , comprising the middle part ( 5 ) of the base ( 3 ) that is telescopically folded.

5. The device according to claim 1 , comprising the extension ( 4 ) that is telescopically folded.

6. The device according to claim 1 , comprising the extension ( 4 ) that is detachably mounted on the head ( 8 ).

7. The device according to claim 1 , comprising a force sensor ( 9 ) that is built in between the end of the motor ( 7 ) and the extension ( 4 ) mounting.

8. The device according to claim 1 , comprising an intermediate module that displays a picture on a screen depending on the movement made by the patient being rehabilitated.

9. The device according to claim 1 , comprising the extension ( 4 ) that is exchangeable and its size is adjusted to rehabilitating a specific limb.

10. The device according to claim 1 , comprising the detachable extension ( 4 ) that has an electronic module supplied from the device that enables device to identify extension.

11. The device according to claim 1 , comprising the detachable extension ( 4 ), wherein the extension ( 4 ) has a drive and the data derived from drive movement are passed to the engine control module ( 2 ).

12. The device according to claim 1 , comprising the extension ( 4 ) that is blocked by an electromagnetic device.

13. The device according to claim 1 , wherein on the front of the head ( 8 ) are arranged on the circumference of mechanically or electrically retractable pins ( 12 ) for locking the range of movement of the extension ( 7 ).

14. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in the base ( 3 ) are provided loaded and/or replaceable batteries supplying the device.

15. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device has a built-in wireless communication module to identify a user.

16. The device according to claim 1 , comprising the head ( 8 ) and the front panel containing on the circumference of blinking LEDs that indicate a current state of the device and range of motion.
