Abstract

The present application pertains to the technical field of healthcare products and specifically provides a device for automatic
movement of a patella, the device for automatic movement of the patella includes a vacuum cup, a vacuum generator, a controller,
and a suspension structure; a cavity is provided in the vacuum cup; the vacuum generator is mounted on the vacuum cup, the vacuum
generator can extract air from the cavity; the controller is electrically connected to the vacuum generator; the controller is used for
controlling the vacuum generator to operate periodically; the suspension structure is connected to the vacuum cup and is used for binding the vacuum cup to the patella. The device for automatic movement of the patella provided in the present application has a high degree of automation, is simple and convenient in operation, and has a high operation efficiency; by arranging the vacuum generator on the vacuum cup, a negative pressure environment can be generated inside the vacuum cup. The patella can be moved (separated and lifted) away from a femoral joint surface through the negative pressure to reduce the pressure below the patella, improve the flexibility of soft tissue around the patella, promote blood circulation, and increase the mobility of the patella, patellofemoral pain syndrome can be effectively alleviated
