Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for assisting the actual walk by supporting an assisted individual.
- the term "actual walk” is understood to mean that the device allows the individual who uses it to actually move in space, as opposed to walking aids on the road. treadmill or rehabilitation pelvis.
- the device according to the invention is comparable to a walker.
- the expression “by support” the fact that the device is of the type assisting walk by unloading the individual of part or all of its own weight. The support can be partial or total.
- the device according to the invention is of the type recreating the context of walking in a rehabilitation pool, but in a real situation on the ground.
- devices for assisting the walking of individuals, in particular implemented in the context of rehabilitation, for the recovery of the motor pattern of the patient.
- walkers consisting of a structure designed to support the weight of the individual assisted and mounted on wheels.
- This type of device if it allows a real ambulation, is however insufficient to allow support of the individual that is adapted to specific motor problems, and / or active rehabilitation, scalable and perfectly appropriate to each individual, whatever their particular needs.
- the support is performed only by the strength of the arms of the user, which is unsatisfactory from the point of view of comfort of use.
- the present invention aims at remedying the drawbacks of devices for assisting with walking by propulsion proposed by the prior art, in particular to those described above, by proposing such a device that is able to take into account the specificities of motor impairment. of each individual, and to provide him with assistance to the actual walk perfectly appropriate.
- the invention further aims that this device has a high comfort of use.
- This device comprises:

- a system for measuring the position of the lower limbs of the individual that is to say of his legs.
- measuring the position of the lower limbs of the individual is meant determining the relative position of each of these lower limbs either relative to each other, or relative to one or more fixed points on the device, or relative to the ground, or the determination of their movement speed, or of any other parameter making it possible to determine which of these lower limbs is in ground support phase and which is in so-called flight phase, defined as the phase being inserted between two successive ground support phases of the same lower limb.
- the actuator system is slaved to the gravity force sensor system and is controlled by a system for programming and support management, depending on the position measurement of the lower limbs of the individual performed by the position measurement system of the lower limbs of the individual.
- the device according to the invention facilitates the ambulation by reducing the gravity by support, and differentially for each lower limb of the individual.
- the support of the assisted person is global, because it concerns the body taken in block and in its entirety. During the march, this support is programmable with precision, and it is advantageously differentiated according to each support right or left of the individual, that is to say that its lower limbs is supported on the ground . It is thus possible to adjust the support, by varying the height of elevation of the upper element relative to the lower element, according to the specific needs of the individual assisted, for each of its lower right limb and his lower left limb.
