Patent

CA 2468491

In order to provide an exercise device to give movement of the calf muscles to help pump blood from the legs to the heart and thereby reduce the risk of DVT, an oval or elliptical shaped oscillator is provided which can be used by a seated person by rocking the device backwards and forward underneath the foot. Lift is provided by the dual can effect of the rocking device, reacting with the floor, which increases the angle of the foot so as to flex the calf muscles.

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'exercice servant à faire bouger les muscles du mollet pour faciliter le pompage du sang des jambes vers le coeur et réduire ainsi le risque de thrombose veineuse profonde. Ce dispositif comprend un élément oscillant ovale ou elliptique qui peut être utilisé par une personne assise imprimant un mouvement de balancier d'avant en arrière audit dispositif placé sous le pied. Le soulèvement du pied est provoqué par le double effet de came du dispositif, réagissant avec le sol, qui accroît l'angle du pied par rapport au sol de façon à provoquer une flexion des muscles du mollet.
