Problems solved by technology

[0005] Secondly, it has proven to be very difficult for the patient to wear such an orthopedic device alone, because the girdle has to extend from the corresponding wrist joint through the back after the orthopedic device has been worn on the arm starting from the injured shoulder. to the upper arm and is held there
That is, the girdle must be placed around the body without the addition of a first shoulder arm, which is very difficult and cannot be performed by the patient himself

Embodiment Construction

[0066] Such as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a first embodiment of an orthopedic device for stabilizing a shoulder joint according to the present invention has a sling assembly comprising a girdle 1 having a first end and a second end 3,5 (see Figure 4 ). The girdle 1 consists of a front part 7 extending from the first end 3 and extending in front through the patient, and a rear part 9 which surrounds the patient horizontally behind the patient from the second end 5 . Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first and second ends 3, 5 of the shroud 1 are connected to each other or transitionally joined. In this embodiment, the first end 3 of the girdle 1 constitutes a first strap portion which is partially wrapped around the arm portion 11 of the patient's arm 13 extending from the first shoulder joint 15 to be immobilized.

[0067] The term "arm" refers here to the area of ​​the arm 13 from the injured first shoulder joint 15, including the elbow itself and the area adjacent th...

Abstract

Depicted and described is an orthosis for immobilizing a first one of the shoulder joints (15) of a patient, comprising a belt arrangement adapted to make contact with an arm section (11) at the elbow or adjacent to the elbow of the arm (13) extending from the first shoulder joint (15) in order to fix the elbow frontally on the body of the patient, wherein the belt arrangement has a first belt section (3, 103), which is provided to wrap around the arm section (11) at least in part, wherein the first belt section (3, 103) is included in the belt arrangement in such a way that, in the applied state of the orthosis, the first belt section (3, 103) exerts a first force, which has at least one first component extending parallel to the frontal plane of the patient, on the arm section (11), wherein the first component points from the arm section (11) to the body such that the first force has an adductive effect on the arm (13), wherein the belt arrangement has a second belt section (19, 105) which is provided to wrap around the arm section (11) at least in part, and wherein the second belt section (19, 105) is included in the belt arrangement in such a way that, in the applied state of the orthosis, the second belt section (19, 105) exerts a second force, which has at least one second component extending parallel to the sagittal plane of the patient, on the arm section (11).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an orthopedic device for immobilizing a patient's shoulder joint. Background technique [0002] In the event of a shoulder joint injury it is often necessary to stabilize or immobilize the joint with the aid of orthopedic devices. Such an orthopedic device is known, for example, from DE 197 45 705 C1. In particular, such an orthopedic device should prevent excessive arm abduction (ie, side extension of the arm) as well as forward and backward tilt (ie, forward and backward swinging) of the arm. [0003] In the orthopedic devices known from the prior art, two straps extend from the injured shoulder in front of the body and behind the shoulder to the elbow of the arm from the injured shoulder joint. A small arm support for accommodating the small arm is installed at the free ends of the two belts. In addition, a shoulder strap extends from the initial point of two straps extending across the upper arm, which extends be...
