ANKLE FOOT ORTHOSIS PROVIDING VIBRATION STIMULATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a below-knee orthosis by vibration stimulation and, more specifically, to a below-knee orthosis by vibration stimulation, comprising: a lower portion (110) including a piezoelectric pad (111) and a foot fixing unit (112); an upper portion (120) including a power source (121), a vibration stimulator (122), and a leg fixing unit (123); a hinge (130) which connects the lower portion (110) and the upper portion (120). The below-knee orthosis by vibration stimulation according to the present invention can be expected to improve motor function effect in a patient such as cerebral palsy, stroke, spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis, by providing a vibration stimulator to the below-knee orthosis. In addition, the below-knee orthosis by vibration stimulation can efficiently secure a power source for driving the vibration stimulator by having a energy harvesting system using the piezoelectric pad.
