Technology background
Technology has increasingly allied health to provide the man practicality and quality of life, resulting in inventions that have marked the history and create trends. The treadmill from the second half of the twentieth century became popular as performing aerobic exercise.
Initially present in gyms and homes, the treadmill has come to represent an alternative rehabilitation treatments, especially in cases where the individual is reapropriando coordination of the lower limbs. these devices, especially the use of physiotherapy, large are not as simple and allow transport and anywhere, hindering the expansion of physiotherapy services such as rehabilitation of the poor to resources patients.
Technology description
The invention is a portable folding treadmill for children up to six years difficulties in walking. Enabling the portability of the mat, the invention, besides being foldable, It is manufactured in plastic via 3D prototyping and comprises a servo motor coupled to a drive assembly, able to generate motion with amplitude of speed 0,1 km / h to 6 km / h increments 0,1 km/h. For this type of treatment it is essential to have some support for the child. Thus, the treadmill also has a crane made of aluminum with support for vest, able to perform partial or total lifting of the child.
Problem Fixed
Most products on the market are heavy and quite large. The main problem solved from the concept of portable treadmill is the possibility of home care, given that both weight and size are not impediments to transport. Furthermore, easy installation allows a person to transport and install the belt without difficulty. The home care of this type of patient improves treatment conditions, because it is performed in a family environment for children. Thus, you can speed up treatment and monitor more quantitatively the progress of patients.
Advantages
extremely lightweight belt, folding, laptop, with wide speed range (de 0.1 km / h to 6 km/h), bivolt. Furthermore, It is coupled to a collapsible crane , Elevating (partial or total) of child, through a vest. The motor / drive in the present invention can be applied to mats directed to adults who need to drive with low speed.
Applications
– home care physiotherapy
– Rehabilitation clinics;
– hospitals;
– PE.
