Description
L'invention est du domaine des techniques médicales, et elle a pour objet un appareil pour la rééducation de la cheville.The invention is in the field of medical techniques, and it relates to a ankle rehabilitation device.
On connaít des appareils destinés à la rééducation de la cheville, comprenant un socle supportant de manière articulée en rotule un support, conformé en plateau notamment. Le socle est prévu pour reposer au sol, tandis que le plateau est prévu pour supporter en repos le pied du patient. Ces appareils sont destinés à provoquer des mouvements omnidirectionnels de la cheville du patient, à partir de poussées exercées par celui-ci avec son pied sur le plateau. Ces mouvements visent à solliciter la musculature qui stabilise la cheville, en provoquant un déséquilibre de l'appui que prend le patient sur le plateau, à partir d'inclinaisons prises par ce dernier par rapport au sol. Il en découle une raideur musculaire globale de la cheville, afin de permettre un contrôle des trois mouvements de flexion dorsale et plantaire, de pronosupination et de rotation.We know devices for the rehabilitation of the ankle, comprising a base supporting a support in a ball-and-socket joint, shaped in particular as a tray. The base is designed to rest on the ground, while the tray is designed to support the patient's foot at rest. These devices are intended to cause omnidirectional movements of the patient's ankle, from pushes exerted by the patient with his foot on the set. These movements aim to solicit the muscles which stabilizes the ankle, causing an imbalance in the support that the patient on the set, from inclinations taken by the latter relative to on the ground. This results in an overall muscular stiffness of the ankle, in order to allow control of the three dorsal and plantar flexion movements, pronosupination and rotation.
Le document US 4605220 concerne un mécanisme de rééducation de la cheville dans lequel tout le pied est prisonnier d'une plaque montée sur des amortisseurs, et orientable selon deux directions orthogonales. Il est impossible que le patient puisse marcher avec ce mécanisme qui reste ancré au sol.Document US 4605220 relates to a mechanism for re-education of the ankle in which the entire foot is trapped in a plate mounted on shock absorbers, and orientable in two orthogonal directions. It is impossible for the patient to be able to walk with this mechanism which remains anchored on the ground.
Le document FR 2521435 décrit un dispositif exerciseur pour chevilles, comportant une semelle support plantaire solidaire d'un dispositif oscillant constitué par une sphère à débattement multidirectionnel. Il s'utilise exclusivement en position assise, les jambes étant verticales. The document FR 2521435 describes an exerciser device for ankles, comprising a plantar support sole secured to an oscillating device constituted by a sphere with multidirectional movement. It is used exclusively in the seated position, the legs being vertical.
Le document US 3782721 se rapporte à un dispositif d'entraínement ayant deux pédales montées par des tiges sur des rotules. Des boutons de réglage permettent d'ajuster le débattement des rotules. Le patient ne peut pas marcher avec ce dispositif.Document US 3782721 relates to a drive device having two pedals mounted by rods on ball joints. Adjustment buttons allow you to adjust the travel of the ball joints. The patient cannot walk with this device.
Les documents US 4306714, 5368536, et FR 2641183 mentionnent tous des dispositifs de rééducation dans lesquels une plaque orientable est dotée de sangles pour attacher tout le pied du patient. Ce dernier ne peut pas marcher avec ce dispositif, lequel reste solidarisé au sol.The documents US 4306714, 5368536, and FR 2641183 all mention rehabilitation devices in which an adjustable plate is provided with straps to attach the patient's entire foot. The latter cannot walk with this device, which remains secured to the ground.
Les mouvements de ces appareils connus ne prennent pas en compte les mécanismes spécifiques d'entorse de la cheville, ainsi que les facteurs de protection de cette articulation. Par ailleurs, le patient peut difficilement appréhender une position d'équilibre sur l'appareil. Il en découle un risque d'un travail musculaire de la cheville du patient qui ne soit pas correct, le travail de la cheville devant s'effectuer équitablement autour de cette position d'équilibre.The movements of these known devices do not take into account the specific ankle sprain mechanisms, as well as protection of this joint. Besides, the patient can hardly grasp a position of equilibrium on the device. There is a risk improper muscle work of the patient's ankle, the ankle work to be done fairly around this position balance.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un appareil pour la rééducation de la cheville, dont la structure remédie à ces inconvénients. Plus particulièrement, un tel appareil vise à induire un travail de la cheville qui soit en rapport avec son anatomie et ses libertés naturelles de mouvement, la rééducation s'effectuant lorsque le patient marche avec le dispositif fixé à chaque talon.The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for the ankle rehabilitation, the structure of which remedies these drawbacks. More particularly, such an apparatus aims to induce ankle work which is related to its anatomy and its natural freedoms of movement, the rehabilitation taking place when the patient is walking with the device attached to each heel.
La démarche inventive de la présente invention a consisté à proposer un appareil pour la rééducation de la cheville, qui est agencé de manière à contraindre la cheville à travailler de façon certaine autour d'une position d'équilibre en corrélation avec son anatomie et avec une protection musculaire satisfaisante. Cet appareil est en outre agencé pour faire travailler la cheville avec des mouvements omnidirectionnels guidés autour d'orientations déterminées dans le plan sagittal et le plan horizontal, en relation avec les différents mécanismes d'entorses et l'anatomie de la cheville.The inventive step of the present invention consisted in proposing a ankle rehabilitation device, which is arranged so as to force the ankle to work in a certain way around a position balance correlated with its anatomy and with protection satisfactory muscle. This apparatus is further arranged to make work the ankle with omni-directional movements guided around of directions determined in the sagittal plane and the horizontal plane, in relationship with the different sprain mechanisms and the anatomy of the ankle.
Selon la présente invention, l'appareil pour la rééducation de la cheville, comprend un support du pied du patient, relié par une articulation à un socle. Le support du pied du patient comprend une assise astragalienne agencée pour recevoir le talon du patient, ladite assise étant prolongée par une enveloppe de protection de la cheville. L'articulation est agencée pour autoriser une liberté de mouvement de l'assise astragalienne avec un débattement autorisé correspondant à l'articulation sous-astragalienne du patient, ledit débattement de l'assise astragalienne étant guidé autour d'au moins un axe directionnel orienté par rapport à l'axe A d'extension du support du pied dans le plan sagittal S suivant un angle A1 compris entre 10° et 50°.According to the present invention, the apparatus for the rehabilitation of the ankle comprises a support for the patient's foot, connected by a joint to a base. The support for the patient's foot comprises an astragalar seat arranged to receive the patient's heel, said seat being extended by a protective ankle cover. The articulation is arranged to allow freedom of movement of the astragalar seat with an authorized travel corresponding to the sub-astragalian articulation of the patient, said movement of the astragalar seat being guided around at least one directional axis oriented by relative to the axis A of extension of the support of the foot in the sagittal plane S at an angle A1 of between 10 ° and 50 °.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le débattement de l'assise astragalienne (12) peut être guidé en deuxième lieu par rapport au plan horizontal H suivant un angle A2 compris entre 12° et 35°.According to another characteristic of the invention, the movement of the astragalar base (12) can be guided secondly with respect to the horizontal plane H at an angle A2 between 12 ° and 35 °.
Avantageusement, le support du pied du patient est conformé en chaussure, bottine ou analogue, supportée par le socle par l'intermédiaire du talon. Par ailleurs, la liaison articulée entre le support et le socle est préférentiellement obtenue par l'intermédiaire d'un élément de forme ogivale supporté par le socle. Cet élément ogival est logé en rotule dans un logement de forme complémentaire ménagé l'assise astragalienne. D'autres types de rotules peuvent être utilisées, à condition que l'orientation inclinée s'effectue dans le plan sagittal et dans le plan horizontal suivant les angles respectifs A1 et A2. On notera que les valeurs d'angles idoines sont respectivement pour A1 de l'ordre de 45° et pour A2 de l'ordre de 30°. Advantageously, the support for the patient's foot is shaped into a shoe, boot or the like, supported by the base via the heel. Furthermore, the articulated connection between the support and the base is preferably obtained by means of an ogival-shaped element supported by the base. This ogival element is housed in a ball joint in a housing of complementary shape formed the astragalian seat. Other types of ball joints can be used, provided that the inclined orientation takes place in the sagittal plane and in the horizontal plane along the respective angles A1 and A2 . It will be noted that the values of suitable angles are respectively for A1 of the order of 45 ° and for A2 of the order of 30 °.
De préférence, l'élément d'articulation ogival est relié au socle de manière fixe par l'intermédiaire d'un axe vertical, le logement correspondant, quant à lui, étant formé à l'intérieur du talon de la chaussure, de manière à ce que la liaison articulée entre le socle et la chaussure résulte d'un giissement du talon de la chaussure autour de la surface de portée de l'élément ogival, qui est fixe. On notera que le talon de la chaussure est avantageusement obtenu par moulage d'une matière plastique.Preferably, the ogival articulation element is connected to the base so fixed by means of a vertical axis, the corresponding housing, as for him, being formed inside the heel of the shoe, so that the articulated connection between the base and the shoe results from a heel of the shoe around the bearing surface of the ogival element, which is fixed. It will be noted that the heel of the shoe is advantageously obtained by molding a plastic material.
La conformation ogivale de l'élément d'articulation et du logement complémentaire comporte de préférence une partie effilée, qui est orientée vers l'avant de l'assise astragalienne et vers le haut par rapport au sol.The conical shape of the articulation element and of the housing complementary preferably has a tapered portion, which is oriented towards the front of the talus and upwards relative to the ground.
L'articulation à rotule peut être remplacée par un axe de pivotement orienté selon l'angle A1, ou par une pièce de liaison déformable venant de moulage plastique avec le bottillon.The ball joint can be replaced by an oriented pivot axis according to angle A1, or by a deformable connecting piece coming from molding plastic with the bootie.
Par ailleurs, l'appareil comporte avantageusement des moyens de réglage du débattement de l'assise astragalienne par rapport au sol, pour permettre d'adapter à la demande la mobilité souhaitée de la cheville, tant en varus et en valgus que d'avant en arrière. Ces moyens de réglage, du type butées notamment, sont par exemple constitués d'un jeu de cales interchangeables interposées entre le support et le socle, ou de manière équivalente entre le support et le sol selon l'encombrement du socle au sol. On notera à ce propos que le socle est de préférence conformé suivant la projection au sol de la conformation de l'assise astragalienne, et donc plus particulièrement est conformé en talon de chaussure.Furthermore, the apparatus advantageously includes adjustment means. the movement of the talus base relative to the ground, to allow to adapt to the desired mobility of the ankle, both in varus and in valgus than back and forth. These adjustment means, of the stop type in particular, for example consist of a set of interchangeable shims interposed between the support and the base, or equivalently between the support and the floor according to the size of the base on the floor. Note that About that the base is preferably shaped according to the projection on the ground the conformation of the astragalar base, and therefore more particularly is shaped like a shoe heel.
La position en hauteur de l'assise astragalienne par rapport au sol est réglable, entre deux positions d'extrême notamment. L'une de ces positions correspond à une position basse, pour un travail du patient pied en appui et pour des exercices de déambulation, et une position haute pour les exercices de saut. The height position of the astragalar base relative to the ground is adjustable, between two extreme positions in particular. One of these positions corresponds to a low position, for work by the patient with the foot resting and for walking exercises, and a high position for exercises jump.
Plus particulièrement et pour constituer les moyens de réglage susvisés, l'axe vertical de liaison du support au socle est une tige filetée laquelle coopère avec un filetage intérieur ménagé dans l'un quelconque du support et du socle, et préférentiellement dans ce dernier.More particularly and to constitute the abovementioned adjustment means, the vertical axis of connection of the support to the base is a threaded rod which cooperates with an internal thread made in any one of the support and the base, and preferably in the latter.

à contraindre la cheville à travailler autour d'une position d'équilibre en
corrélation avec les mécanismes d'entorses. Le débattement d'arrière en
avant du bottillon 4 pour un pied droit s'effectue dans des positions
respectivement en valgus (figure 2) et en varus (figure 4). L'élément mâle 6
est de forme ogivale effilée vers l'avant, et pénètre à l'intérieur d'un logement
8 de forme correspondante ménagé dans le talon 12 du bottillon 4. Cet
élément ogival 6 est orienté, par rapport à l'axe A d'extension de la
chaussure, par rapport au plan sagittal S suivant un angle A1 de l'ordre de
45° et par rapport au plan horizontal H, et plus précisément dans le plan de
repos du socle au sol, suivant un angle A2 de l'ordre de 30°.The
On relèvera que cette structure permet, à partir d'une combinaison de mouvements latéraux et de mouvements d'avant en arrière, de faire travailler la cheville de manière rigoureuse et certaine, en varus (figures 4 et 7), en position neutre (figures 3 et 6) ou en valgus (figures 2 et 5).It will be noted that this structure allows, from a combination of lateral movements and back and forth movements, to make work the ankle in a rigorous and certain manner, in varus (Figures 4 and 7), in neutral position (Figures 3 and 6) or in valgus (Figures 2 and 5).
Sur les figures 8 à 10, l'articulation entre le talon 12 et le socle 2 est
constituée par un axe de pivotement 20 au lieu de la rotule selon les figures
précédentes. L'axe 20 rectiligne s'étend selon une direction inclinée faisant
un angle A1 compris entre 10° et 50° par rapport à l'axe A vertical
d'extension du support de pied 4.In FIGS. 8 to 10, the articulation between the
Il est clair que d'autres types d'articulations peuvent être utilisées, notamment des rotules sphériques, des cardans, etc...It is clear that other types of joints can be used, including spherical ball joints, universal joints, etc ...
Des masselottes ou des moyens élastiques peuvent être agencés entre le
talon 12 et le socle 2 pour conserver le parallélisme entre la semelle de la
chaussure, et le talon 12 pendant le pas oscillant du patient lors de la
marche.Weight or elastic means can be arranged between the
Les figures 11 et 12 illustrent une structure monobloc réalisée par injection
plastique d'un bottillon 4 et d'une pièce de liaison 22 déformable. Le bottillon
4 est destiné à la réception de l'arrière pied, et la pièce de liaison 22 est de
plusieurs nervures 23, pour permettre le mouvement de varus. L'orientation
de la pièce de liaison 22 est similaire à celle de l'axe de pivotement des
figures 8 à 10. Il est également possible de mouler d'une seule pièce le
bottillon (4), la pièce de liaison (22) et le socle (2).Figures 11 and 12 illustrate a one-piece structure produced by injection
plastic of a
Sur la variante des figures 13 et 14, la pièce de liaison 24 en plastique
injectée avec le bottillon 4, présente une pluralité de cannelures 26,
lesquelles sont orientées par des cales 28 additionnelles pour autoriser un
mouvement multidirectionnel ou unidirectionnel prédéterminé.In the variant of Figures 13 and 14, the
