Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a rehabilitation appliance, in particular to an ankle-foot flexible connection orthosis for rehabilitation of lower limbs. Background technique [0002] At present, it is very important to use early rehabilitation treatment to improve the curative effect of stroke, reduce sequelae, improve the quality of life of patients, and ensure their early recovery. With the help of rehabilitation equipment, it can assist the human body to support weight, maintain balance and walk. It is easy to apply and convenient for standing and walking of hemiplegia and paraplegia with low muscle strength and relatively mild impairment of walking ability, and for correcting their deformities. The existing thermoplastic material AF0 is made according to the patient's plaster model, with or without ankle chains, and its shape can be divided into V-type, boot-type, rear support type, half-spiral type, full-spiral type, and can be divided into according t...

Problems solved by technology

The existing thermoplastic material AF0 is made according to the patient's plaster model, with or without ankle chains, and its shape can be divided into V-type, boot-type, rear support type, half-spiral type, full-spiral type, and can be divided into according to function Dynamic type, load-free type, etc., are assembled from person to person, and are not universal, which brings inconvenience to rehabilitation specialists, therapists, and patients. However, flexible rehabilitation protective gear made of thermal-effect elastic materials , in line with the characteristics of human anatomy, physiology, treatment and rehabilitation, and has a certain degree of scientificity and practicability, but this protective gear is based on the body's own muscles and bones for support and protection, good fit, light weight, and easy to wear , comfortable

However, for stroke patients with low lower limb muscle strength and impaired walking ability, they have limb movement disorders, lack of functional independence, and cannot meet the support and orthopedic functions of the affected limbs.
