Embodiment Construction

[0077] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0078] The flotation device according to the invention is designed as a vest-like garment filled with EPE (expanded polyethylene). EPE is the material that provides buoyancy. The flotation device is divided into several sections to conform to body contours and body movements, thereby providing the wearer with maximum wearing comfort.

[0079] figure 1 A perspective view of a flotation device according to the invention is shown. Such as figure 1 As shown, the flotation device according to the present invention is generally divided into a front part and a back part, and there are openings on both sides between the front part and the back part, and this design can facilitate wheelchair users. For example, a paraplegic can wear the flotation device while sitting in a wheelchair. The openings on both sides of the flotation device respectively include buckles 13 ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an adjustable floating device designed for paraplegic patients, which comprises a front part and a back part. One or more control wires are attached to the upper part, and the control wires extend to the back and connect with the movable foam rubber, so as to drive the movable foam rubber to move up and down. The adjustable flotation device according to the present invention provides the wearer, such as a paraplegic, with freedom of movement and a sense of control, thereby minimizing the physical therapist's effort required to perform the hydrotherapy while maximizing the effectiveness of the hydrotherapy. quantity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of hydrotherapy for patients with reduced mobility, especially paraplegics, and more particularly to an adjustable flotation device for hydrotherapy and having a slide / lock system. [0002] The adjustable flotation device according to the present invention is a vest-like garment with unevenly distributed foam rubber providing buoyancy and a removable foam rubber locking system to support the wearer's weight while allowing the The patient is able to change positions between two hydrotherapy positions in the water: 1) upright position; and 2) supine position. The flotation device is operated by the wearer. Background technique [0003] Hydrotherapy is recommended by many medical professionals because water minimizes the impact of conditioning movements on a patient's joints and muscles. There are several different types of hydrotherapy devices on the market, and hydrotherapy flotation devices are often used in...
