Suspension and weight relief system for walking on the ground and for leg rehabilitation exercises

A suspension and weight relief system designed to allow for walking on a ground and for leg rehabilitation exercises of a patient, the system comprising:

• a suspension rail;
• and
• a suspension and weight relief element designed to slide along the suspension rail, the suspension and weight relief element comprising:
• rail support devices;
• drive assembly with sensors and a control system, designed to activate the movement of the suspension and weight relief element along the rail to follow the walking patient or to activate its block for performing exercises while stationary;
• at least two belts or ropes prepared for the right and left side of the patient, which are each connected to a pair of straps of a patient's harness;
• a management system with microprocessor to allow the correct execution of the exercises, to avoid an accidental fall of the patient, and to acquire all necessary operating data;
• a support structure for all components of the suspension and weight relief element and a protective casing;
• a unit for the management of electricity;
• means for transmitting energy to the suspension and weight relief element;
• at least one interface, configured to allow an operator to prepare operating cycles and for emergency signals,
• electric cables or wireless systems for the transmission of command signals and data between the suspension and weight relief element and the at least one interface;
• a gearmotor operatively connected to a reduction unit with two output shafts for driving the at least two belts in the context of small relative displacements;
• and
• a balancing pneumatic cylinder placed on each of the at least two belts.
