Problems solved by technology

[0002] Patients with brain injury have two periods, the flaccid period and the spastic period. The main manifestations of the upper limbs in the flaccid period are low muscle strength and muscle tone. Patients are prone to sequelae such as shoulder subluxation and shoulder-hand syndrome. At the same time, sufficient and effective support and joint extrusion are obtained, so that the function of the upper limbs is slowly recovered, and the patient has adverse reactions such as pain, and the degree of cooperation in rehabilitation training is weakened. From the perspective of overall rehabilitation, the existing auxiliary braces often only train the upper limbs. A single joint without overall protection and support will cause the uneven recovery of each joint and affect the rehabilitation training effect of the entire affected side; during the spasticity period, the muscle tension of each joint of the upper limbs will increase to varying degrees due to the compensatory movement mode, the therapist Stretch training often has no long-term inhibitory effect, which requires patients to cooperate with training through some tension-inhibiting postures and postures. In clinical practice, such as fingerboards, these training devices can only stretch a single joint. Without the wrist, patients also have poor experience in clinical use. Usually, the abnormally increased tension occurs in the joints that have not received effective stretch training.

Abstract

The invention discloses a stretching training apparatus for improving upper limb dystonia of brain injury patients. The stretching training apparatus comprises a palm rubber assembly, a forearm rubberassembly, an upper arm rubber assembly, fixing bands, metal ring hanging buckles, elastic ropes, a fixing buckle and an elbow adjusting assembly. The palm rubber assembly can sleeve a palm and comprises five finger cots and a palm sleeve, the finger cots sleeve fingers, and the palm sleeve sleeves a palm position; knuckle fixing bands are arranged on the finger cots; a palm fixing band is arranged on the palm sleeve; a forearm fixing band is arranged on the forearm rubber assembly; an upper arm fixing band is arranged on the upper arm rubber assembly; the metal ring hanging buckles are arranged on the knuckle fixing bands; the fixing buckle is arranged on the forearm fixing band; the metal ring hanging buckles are connected with the fixing buckle by the elastic ropes; the forearm rubber assembly is connected with the upper arm rubber assembly by the elbow adjusting assembly. The stretching training apparatus has the advantages that the brain injury patients at flaccid paralysis stagescan be supported and pressurized by the stretching training apparatus, abnormal tension drawing control can be carried out on the brain injury patients at convulsion stages, and accordingly integralmovement functions of the brain injury patients can be recovered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of rehabilitation medical devices, and in particular relates to a stretch trainer for correcting abnormal muscle tone of upper limbs for brain-injured patients in the department of rehabilitation medicine. Background technique [0002] Patients with brain injury have two periods, the flaccid period and the spastic period. The main manifestations of the upper limbs in the flaccid period are low muscle strength and muscle tone. Patients are prone to sequelae such as shoulder subluxation and shoulder-hand syndrome. At the same time, sufficient and effective support and joint extrusion are obtained, so that the function of the upper limbs is slowly recovered, and the patient has adverse reactions such as pain, and the degree of cooperation in rehabilitation training is weakened. From the perspective of overall rehabilitation, the existing auxiliary braces often only train the upper limbs. A single joint without overall pr...
