Полезная модель относится к медицинской технике, к средствам активной реабилитации пациентов с затруднениями при ходьбе. Техническим результатом полезной модели является возможность самостоятельной реабилитации всей опорно-двигательной системы больного, который достигается за счет того, что ступни пациента размещаются на платформах для стоп 10 в специальных углублениях, голени пациента размещаются в устройствах для крепления голеней 9, при этом спина пациента размещается в аппарате с упором на крепление для спины 6, а грудь пациента фиксируется грудным креплением 5 и ремнем через спину. Руки пациента размещаются на рычагах для рук. При запуске аппарат начинает имитировать процесс ходьбы, в котором задействованы все необходимые части тела. Это достигается при помощи системы регулируемых рычажных передач, которые заставляют совершать необходимые движения тех частей аппарата, на которых закреплены участки тела пациента. Тем самым, аппарат способствует восстановлению нормальной моторики тела пациента. 5 з.п. ф-лы, 1 ил.

A cushioning mechanism of a treadmill is interposed with an auxiliary plate between a base frame and the running board. The cushioning mechanism 20 includes two hanging support pieces, two hanging swing pieces, and a flexible elastic element. When the running board is subject to a downward force and sinks, the flexible elastic element will be pulled and expanded externally. When the external force is eliminated, the running board will be returned back to its original position by the self-restoring ability of the flexible elastic element. In this way, an expected and optimal cushioning effect is achieved.

The present invention relates to a boat propelled by two submerged independent wings actuated by means of a step simulator mechanism that imparts an vertical alternating movement to the wings, which are articulated around a shaft located forward of the center of pressure thereof, such that the wings assume angles of inclination that generates propulsive force in the upward and downward movements. In the analogous position of a conventional bicycle, the driver actuates the footrests while seated. A handlebar, connected to a rudder, is used to maneuver the vehicle. The catamaran configuration offers hydrodynamic efficiency and stability. When disassembled, the mainframe of the boat can be converted into a step machine, simply fitting a pair of dampers to the structure, which absorb and dissipate the energy generated during exercising.
