TRAINING APPARATUS FOR TRAINING TO WALKING IN NATURAL ALGORITHM IN AFTERTREATMENT OF PATIENTS BY CHILDREN'S CEREBRAL PARALYSIS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61H3/00 A61H3/04 A47D13/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, and is intended for restoration of locomotar function at children with local damages of brain, first of all, at children, suffering from the spastic form of infantile cerebral paralysis. Training apparatus of training to walking consists from functionally and electrically bound among themselves: tents from plastic on wheels with metal support; 3 tanks attached to support, and intended for air supply in fastenings; inflatable fastenings; pump with manual or automatic air supply in tanks and inflatable fastenings; training boots; colloid liquid; the pump providing automatic alternate liquid supply in boot chambers in natural algorithm of walking; 4 soft tubes binding the pump supplying the liquid and the boot chambers; forward and calcaneal arch supports located on a sole of the boot; 4 sound- and light elements, the boots located in chambers; and electric motor providing step-by-step advancement of tent together with patient in set rate. The vertical part of the support is built in the central part of the back wall of tent, and horizontal - in the central part of the dome. The tanks are attached to the support at level of patient's head, neck and body, and have the apertures framed with cylinders with screwing up covers on side and forward walls. The inflatable fastenings are intended for support of the head, neck and body in steady vertical position, and representing elastic goffered hoses, one of extremeties is stitched in the hat, collar or waistcoat, and the second - is put on corresponding cylinders of the tanks. Training boots are parted on forward and back chambers, and executed from 2 layers of water-repellent and elastic tissue with a porous layer between them. The colloid liquid freely circulates in internal space of forward and back chambers of the boots, providing weighting of corresponding part of limb. The liquid of green colour is intended for supply in forward chambers, and red colour - for supply in back chambers of boots. Soft tubes bind the pump supplying the liquid and chambers of boots: 2 green - for liquid supply in the forward chambers, 2 red - for liquid supply in the back chambers of boots. The tubes are put on the cylinders framing apertures in the top part of the bootlegs. The arch supports are located on sole of boots and have 2 metal plates with the electric chain contacts which are closed under the influence of a liquid gravity and include sound - and light elements electrically bound with them, located in chambers of the boots. The specified elements provide synchronous sound and light effects at weighting of the corresponding part of the limb.

EFFECT: maintenance of bipedal locomotion in natural algorithm "heel-toe of the left foot, heel-toe of the right foot".
