Bionic Knee Brace

Abstract

The invention discloses a bionic knee-guarding support. The bionic knee-protecting supporting tool comprises two support clamping boards fixed at the two sides of the lower limb of a human body by a band; all the support clamping boards comprise thigh supporting boards connected with the thighs and crus supporting boards connected with the cruses; the thigh supporting boards and the crus supporting boards are rotatably connected at the positions of knee joints of the human body; the knee-guarding support also comprises a meniscus like structure capable of generating a function of a meniscus board, one end of the meniscus like structure is connected with each thigh supporting board, and the other end of the meniscus like structure is connected with the crus supporting board. By adoption ofthe technical scheme, the meniscus like structure can simulate the function of the meniscus so as to simulate the movement of the knee joints of the human body, the gravity from the thighbones is uniformly transmitted to the cruses in a decreasing manner, the concentrated load is avoided, and the pressure stress on the tibiofemoral joints is reduced; and in treatment of acute and chronic injuriesof the knee joints, enables the knee joints to carry out early-stage functional exercises and activities, and the load of the knee joints can be fully eliminated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an orthopedic medical device, in particular to a bionic knee brace that imitates the biological form of a human knee joint. Background technique [0002] The bone ends of human joints are covered with a layer of dense connective tissue, that is, articular cartilage, which has mechanical properties such as permeability, viscoelasticity, and lubricity. The biomechanical adjustment system formed can reduce friction and conduction between adjacent bones for lubricating joints. Load, shock absorbing and buffering stress etc. are of profound significance. [0003] As the largest and most complex joint in the human body, the knee joint is composed of the tibiofemoral joint and patellofemoral joint. There are tissue structures such as meniscus, articular cartilage, and cruciate ligament in the joint. The meniscus is located between the tibiofemoral joints, which can distribute the pressure from the femur to the tibial plateau, and has...

Problems solved by technology

However, the commonly used non-surgical treatment is mainly functional replacement. In order to stabilize the knee joint and keep the knee joint in an upright and inactive state, adverse consequences such as joint dysfunction and muscle atrophy often occur. Although non-surgical treatment methods also have For those who use a knee joint brace, the knee joint brace can enable the knee joint to perform early functional exercises, but it can only control the angle of motion of the knee joint, and cannot imitate the functions of the inner meniscus and cartilage surface of the knee joint, eliminating the need for knee support. The effect of joint loading is not obvious

Surgical treatment is not an option and is not accepted by most people.
