Lower limb bouncing device and hip joint stimulation method

摘要

A lower limb bouncing device causes knee bouncing by stimulating the hip joint, or base end of a lower limb, while allowing the lower leg, or terminal end of the lower limb, to relax. The device includes: a flap and a motor coupled to the flap. The flap allows a heel resting surface to swing from the motor. The motor includes: an output axis with an eccentric cam; and a pivotable plate on the eccentric cam. The pivotable plate has an attached pivoting end. The flap is on an enclosure side so that the heel can be placed at a minimum height above the floor when the foot is placed on the floor surface. The flap connects to another end of the pivotable plate allowing swing movement by the pivotable plate pivoting around the attached end in response to rotation of the eccentric cam.

主权项

1. A lower limb bouncing device having a lower surface that contacts a floor, comprising: a flap on which a heel of a foot is to be placed; and a motor coupled to the flap,
the flap being configured with a heel resting surface thereof being swung up and down by a driving force of the motor, but does not fall below a minimum height position that is not more than 4 cm above a toe resting surface on which toes are to be placed, the motor including: an output axis on which an eccentric cam is provided; and a pivotable plate sitting on the eccentric cam, the pivotable plate having an end thereof pivotally attached, and the flap being disposed on a side of an enclosure that accepts placement of the heel at a minimum height position that is not more than 4 cm above a floor surface when the foot is placed on the floor surface on which the enclosure is disposed, the flap being connected to another end of the pivotable plate that allows up and down swinging thereof by the pivotable plate pivoting up and down around the pivotally attached end in response to rotation of the eccentric cam.
