Elbow and forearm supporting device for shoulder joint subluxation rehabilitation

Abstract

The invention discloses an elbow and forearm supporting device for shoulder joint subluxation rehabilitation. The elbow and forearm supporting device comprises a fixed waistband, a fixed part mountedon the fixed waistband, and a supporting part mounted on the fixed part and used for supporting the elbow and forearm of a patient; the supporting part is provided with a clamping structure which is mounted to the fixed part; and the fixed part is provided with a sliding clamping groove used for adjusting the height of the supporting part. The fixed part is fixed to the waist of the patient through the fixed waistband; the fixed part is equipped with the supporting part capable of supporting the elbow and forearm of the patient, and the height of the supporting part is adjustable, so that thehead of humerus can be stably and permanently reset in the shoulder joint fossa; and the device is suitable for patients with different heights. The device is simple in structure, convenient to use, comfortable to wear and stable in treatment effect, and can be widely applied to the prevention and treatment of shoulder joint subluxation caused by various reasons.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of shoulder joint subluxation treatment, in particular to an elbow and forearm support device used for rehabilitation of shoulder joint subluxation. Background technique [0002] Shoulder subluxation is one of the most common complications in patients after brain injury, which seriously affects the functional recovery and activities of daily living of patients. Shoulder subluxation often occurs early in brain injury. Because the supraspinatus, deltoid and other shoulder muscles on the ipsilateral side are less tense and the joint capsule is loose, they cannot resist the gravity of the upper limb when sitting or standing, which causes the humeral head to slide forward and downward and break away from the glenoid, resulting in half of the shoulder joint. dislocation. Studies have reported that the incidence of shoulder subluxation in brain-injured patients ranges from 60% to 81%, and more than 20% of these patients ar...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Studies have shown that in addition to insufficient strength to lift the upper limbs, the triangular scarf can easily lead to adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder joint, inducing and aggravating spasm, and the triangular scarf has poor air permeability, so it is not suitable for summer use; It has a certain degree of elasticity, lacks the strength to lift the upper limbs, and cannot maintain a stable fixation for a long time. Although the support device of the wheelchair has good support, it is only used when sitting in a wheelchair, and cannot be used during activities such as standing position and position transfer; low-frequency electrical stimulation is induced by neuromuscular electrical stimulation or functional electrical stimulation. Muscles actively contract to reset the shoulder joint, but evidence-based evidence shows that this method is only effective for early prevention, and it is less effective for subluxation and long-term treatment, and it only works during treatment, not non-treatment. time doesn't work
