Abstract

An exercise equipment for rehabilitation of hand grip and wrist is disclosed herein. The exercise equipment includes a fixing module being fixed to a forearm of a user, a wrist exercising module having a hinge shaft on one side of the fixing module and being connected to the fixing module so as to be capable of performing rotating movements when rotating the arm, and a hand grip exercising module being provided on the wrist exercising module and measuring a hand grip of the user.

Claims (32)

1. An exercise equipment for rehabilitation of hand grip and wrist, comprising:

a fixing module being fixed to a forearm of a user;

a wrist exercising module having a hinge shaft on one side of the fixing module and a rotating part, the wrist exercising module being connected to the fixing module so as to be capable of performing rotating movements when rotating the arm, the rotating part being installed to be capable of performing rotating movements and having an empty space formed therein; and

a hand grip exercising module being provided on the wrist exercising module and measuring a hand grip of the user, the hand grip exercising module having an upper pressure applying part and a lower pressure applying part, each of the upper pressure applying part and the lower pressure applying part being provided inside the rotating part and having a supplementary hinge part formed therein and being installed to perform respective rotating movements with respect to the supplementary hinge part.

2. The exercise equipment of claim 1 , wherein the fixing module comprises:

a supporting part having the arm of the user secured thereto; and

a belt part being wrapped around the user's arm that is secured to the supporting unit, thereby establishing a state of being fixed to the supporting part.

3. The exercise equipment of claim 2 , wherein,

the rotating part has a hinge part on one end of the supporting part, and

the wrist exercising module further comprises an elastic member being provided on the hinge part so as to be capable of performing rotating movements when a predetermined amount of external force is applied to the rotating part.

4. The exercise equipment of claim 1 , wherein the hand grip exercising module further comprises

a supplementary elastic member being provided on the supplementary hinge part so as to allow the upper pressure applying part and the lower pressure applying part to perform relative rotating movements, when a predetermined amount of external force is applied to the upper pressure applying part and the lower pressure applying part.

5. The exercise equipment of claim 1 , further comprising:

an acceleration sensor measuring a rotation speed of the rotating part;

a pressure sensor measuring a pressure level being applied to the upper pressure applying part;

a lighting unit allowing the pressure sensor to indicate to the user when the applied pressure level is equal to or greater than a predetermined pressure level; and

a controller being electrically connected to the acceleration sensor, the pressure sensor, and the lighting unit.

6. The exercise equipment of claim 2 , further comprising:

an acceleration sensor measuring a rotation speed of the rotating part;

a pressure sensor measuring a pressure level being applied to the upper pressure applying part;

a lighting unit allowing the pressure sensor to indicate to the user when the applied pressure level is equal to or greater than a predetermined pressure level; and

a controller being electrically connected to the acceleration sensor, the pressure sensor, and the lighting unit.

7. The exercise equipment of claim 3 , further comprising:

an acceleration sensor measuring a rotation speed of the rotating part;

a pressure sensor measuring a pressure level being applied to the upper pressure applying part;

a lighting unit allowing the pressure sensor to indicate to the user when the applied pressure level is equal to or greater than a predetermined pressure level; and

a controller being electrically connected to the acceleration sensor, the pressure sensor, and the lighting unit.

8. The exercise equipment of claim 4 , further comprising:

an acceleration sensor measuring a rotation speed of the rotating part;

a pressure sensor measuring a pressure level being applied to the upper pressure applying part;

a lighting unit allowing the pressure sensor to indicate to the user when the applied pressure level is equal to or greater than a predetermined pressure level; and

a controller being electrically connected to the acceleration sensor, the pressure sensor, and the lighting unit.
