Ankle and foot orthopedic device with functional electric irritation electrode

Abstract

The present invention belongs to medical equipment and relates to the application of electric irritation in rehabilitation treatment of dysfunctional organ or limb. The ankle and foot orthopedic device has ankle and foot bearing plate and leg bearing plate connected together. The ankle and foot bearing plate is in the shape of foot and has ventilating holes, plate electrode, socket, ring electrode and connecting hasp. The X-shaped leg bearing plate has transverse soft hinge, ventilating holes and connecting hasp. The present invention is suitable for use for patient of cerebral apoplexy in early stage, treating stage and rehabilitation stage to maintain the normal physiological posture of foot, prevent and correct foot deformation and restore gradually the normal physiological and moving functions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to medical equipment, in particular to an ankle-foot orthosis equipped with functional electric stimulation electrodes for rehabilitation treatment of organs and limbs that have lost their function by electric stimulation. Background technique [0002] At present, due to the tense extensor muscles of hemiplegia patients caused by stroke, the hips and knees are spastic and straightened throughout the walking cycle, and the hips are internally rotated, and the feet are varus and drooped. Roundabout gait, lack of heel-grounding and kicking-off movements, and use the forefoot or even the outer edge of the foot to land on the ground. In severe cases, the upper limbs cannot swing when walking, and the shoulders are adducted, the elbows, wrists and fingers are flexed, and the forearm is pronated, showing a typical hemiplegic gait. Posture, the use of ankle foot orthoses during the patient's rehabilitation is used to assist drooping feet,...

Problems solved by technology

The frequency range used belongs to the category of low-frequency electricity. Physical parameters such as the frequency, waveform, wave width, stimulation intensity, and power on and off time or timing of electric pulses can be adjusted according to the needs of the disease. Ankle-foot orthoses can support body weight to assist or replace If the function of the limbs cannot be given the appropriate form, appropriate, and timely electrical stimulation to exert the stress function of the nerves, it will not be able to effectively stimulate the motor neuromuscular and restore the function.
