METHOD FOR THE OPEN-LOOP AND CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL OF A DEVICE INCLUDING A MOVEMENT MODULE DURING THE INTERACTION OF THE DEVICE WITH A HUMAN, AND DEVICE CONTROLLED IN SUCH A MANNER
A method for open-loop and closed-loop control of a device having a movement module, in terms of its interaction with a human, is based on an energy-based control process that makes it possible to monitor the amount of an overall energy in the system including the device and the human in dependence on a measured control variable describing the speed at which the device or its movement module moves. The method considers the entire power cycle, in particular the dynamics of the energy or power flow, in the system including the device and the human and takes into account the performance of the human during the closed-loop control. The method also enables the participation state of the human who is using the device to be determined in an iterative learning process without additional sensors. A device for carrying out the method is also provided.
A device for performing individual movement analysis and movement therapy on a patient includes a control and analysis unit configured to control a first intervention device in such a way that a first trajectory of the movement of an extremity of the patient is disrupted by a force exerted by a movement module onto the extremity of the patient. A response to this disruption is measured by changed measured values from at least one force sensor and/or at least one angle sensor, and a new, second trajectory is calculated therefrom. New control parameters for controlling the first intervention device are calculated from a comparison of the second trajectory with the first trajectory and/or a target trajectory or the comparison of the disrupted measured values with the non-disrupted measured values.

DEVICE FOR CONVERTING A BED, IN PARTICULAR A CARE BED, SICK BED, HOSPITAL BED, OR INTENSIVE-CARE BED, FROM A HORIZONTAL POSITION INTO AN INCLINED POSITION WITH RESPECT TO THE LONGITUDINAL SIDES OF THE BED
The invention relates to a device (1) for converting a bed, in particular a care bed, sick bed, or intensive-care bed, from a horizontal position into an inclined position with respect to the longitudinal sides (12) of the bed. The invention is characterized in that the device (1) has a receiving device (2) for receiving the bed (10) and a stand device (3) for ensuring a stable stand of the device (1) and in that the receiving device (2) and the stand device (3) are operatively connected together via at least one adjusting mechanism (70) which inclines the receiving device (2) relative to the stand device (3). In the process, the device advantageously decouples the verticalization process from the respective existing bed (10) and in this manner allows a large degree of flexibility for the care personnel during a routine therapy session using a care and/or medical device, thus allowing a safe and comfortable therapy for a patient (90) confined to a bed. The device (1) according to the invention is suitable for both a new installation as well as for retrofitting medical and/or care device equipment and advantageously saves on the otherwise necessary expenditures on beds with their own verticalization mechanism (70).

REHABILITATION MECHANISM FOR PATIENTS CONFINED TO BED
The invention relates to a rehabilitation mechanism (30) which is designed to be suitable for rehabilitating at least the joints, muscles, and tendons of the legs (92) of a patient (90) confined to bed in an automated manner according to a plan, at least comprising the following: - a knee module (50) which can be operatively connected to the knee joint (93) of the patient (90) confined to bed, and - a control module (60) for controlling rehabilitation movements at least of the joints, muscles, and tendons of the legs (92) of the patient (90) confined to bed according to a plan by means of the knee module (50); wherein - the knee module (50) is designed as a module which can be arranged above the patient (90) and the mattress (20), which is supported directly or indirectly on a bed (11) or the mattress frame (21), and which comprises at least the following: - a knee prosthesis (51) which receives a knee joint (93) of the patient (90) confined to bed; - a connection element (52) which is connected to the knee prosthesis (51); - an extension arm (53) to which the connection element (52) is secured; and - a mechanism (61) which can be actuated by the control module (60) and which introduces a defined force into the knee prosthesis (51) via the extension arm (53) and the connection element (52) such that the joints, muscles, and tendons of the leg (92) carry out rehabilitation movements according to a plan via the patient's (90) knee joint (93) which is received in the prosthesis.
The invention relates to a rehabilitation mechanism (30) which is designed to be suitable for rehabilitating at least the joints, muscles, and tendons of the legs (92) of a patient (90) confined to bed in an automated manner according to a plan, at least comprising the following: - a knee module (50) which can be operatively connected to the knee joint (93) of the patient (90) confined to bed, and - a control module (60) for controlling rehabilitation movements at least of the joints, muscles, and tendons of the legs (92) of the patient (90) confined to bed according to a plan by means of the knee module (50); wherein - the knee module (50) is designed as a module which can be arranged above the patient (90) and the mattress (20), which is supported directly or indirectly on a bed (11) or the mattress frame (21), and which comprises at least the following: - a knee prosthesis (51) which receives a knee joint (93) of the patient (90) confined to bed; - a connection element (52) which is connected to the knee prosthesis (51); - an extension arm (53) to which the connection element (52) is secured; and - a mechanism (61) which can be actuated by the control module (60) and which introduces a defined force into the knee prosthesis (51) via the extension arm (53) and the connection element (52) such that the joints, muscles, and tendons of the leg (92) carry out rehabilitation movements according to a plan via the patient's (90) knee joint (93) which is received in the prosthesis.
The invention relates to a rehabilitation mechanism (30) which is designed to be suitable for the rehabilitation of at least the joints, muscles, and tendons of the legs (92) of a patient (90) confined to bed, which rehabilitation is automated in accordance with a plan. The rehabilitation mechanism (30) according to the invention comprises at least the following: a foot module (40), which can be brought into operative connection with the feet (94) of the patient (90) confined to bed, a knee module (50), which can be brought into operative connection with the knee joints (93) of the confined patient (90), and a control module (60) for controlling planned rehabilitation motions of at least the joints, muscles, and tendons of the legs (92) of the patient (90) confined to bed by means of the foot module (40) and/or the knee module (50). The rehabilitation mechanism is additionally characterized in that at least the knee module (50) is designed as a module that can be arranged between the patient (90) and a mattress (20) and that is supported directly or indirectly on a bed frame (11) or a mattress frame (21). The modular design of the rehabilitation mechanism (30) has the advantage that patients (90) who are confined to bed and in particular require intensive care can receive rehabilitation that is automated in accordance with a plan directly in the bed (10), which can be designed in particular as a care bed, sick bed, hospital bed, and/or intensive-care bed, and indeed also without risky bed transfer and/or possibilities of a patient's own contribution.
