Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a postoperative exercise sock for hip replacement surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Patients who have undergone hip replacement surgery are typically advised to undergo a series of rehabilitation exercises under professional guidance to accelerate recovery, prevent complications, and improve their quality of life. These exercises range from basic ankle pumps to more complex knee and hip flexion movements, aiming to effectively prevent deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities and promote the gradual recovery of joint function through active and passive movement. In traditional treatment plans, medical institutions often use specialized rehabilitation equipment to assist patients with leg function exercises, such as the well-known CPM (Continuous Passive Motion) joint recovery devices. These devices provide regular and continuous exercise for postoperative patients by simulating the natural movement patterns of the joint, helping to accelerate the recovery process. However, they also face significant limitations: high purchase costs, large size, and lack of portability make these devices difficult to popularize in resource-limited or home rehabilitation environments.

[0003] In addition, compression stockings specifically designed for patients after hip replacement surgery have emerged on the market. These stockings aim to promote lower limb blood circulation by applying appropriate pressure, further reducing the risk of thrombosis. While these stockings meet the assistance needs in a static state to some extent, improving lower limb blood return through gradient pressure distribution, they lack direct assistance during dynamic movement and cannot fully meet the actual needs of patients in rehabilitation training. Furthermore, putting on and taking off these compression stockings can be challenging for postoperative patients, especially in the early postoperative period when limb flexibility and strength have not fully recovered.

[0004] To address the challenge of putting on and taking off socks, designs featuring zippers, Velcro, or specialized aids have emerged to simplify the process and reduce the burden on patients. However, while these additional designs offer convenience, they also increase product complexity and cost. Furthermore, in practice, patients often still require assistance from others to complete the process, which to some extent limits their independence and self-care abilities. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of related technologies, and this utility model provides a postoperative exercise stocking for hip replacement surgery.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A type of post-hip replacement surgery exercise stocking, comprising a stocking body and an elastic band.

[0008] The sock has a support portion and a loose portion; the support portion is elastic and is used to fit over the patient's calf to provide support; the loose portion is used to fit over the patient's ankle area and the outside of the foot; the elastic band includes a fixing section and an extension section; the fixing section is fitted to the bottom of the sock, and there are two extension sections, which extend from the fixing section at the toe and heel ends of the sock respectively.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom of the sock body near the toe and the heel are respectively provided with connecting sleeves, and the elastic band passes through the two connecting sleeves in sequence.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the connecting sleeve has two connecting ends, which are connected by Velcro.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom of the sock is provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a pull strap is provided on the side of the sock body near the opening of the sock body, and two pull straps are provided symmetrically.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, one end of the pull strap is connected to the loose part of the sock body, and the other end of the pull strap extends toward the opening of the sock body.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, at least part of the pull strap is located inside the stocking body and extends out from the opening of the stocking body.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the opening of the sock body is provided with a widened ring.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the stretchability of the widened ring is greater than that of the support portion of the sock body.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a low-friction layer is provided on the inner side of the loose part of the sock body.

[0018] Compared with related technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This utility model provides post-hip replacement surgery exercise stockings designed to assist patients in effective ankle joint exercises through a scientifically structured design, thereby promoting post-operative recovery. When patients need to wear these exercise stockings for exercise, they should first carefully slip the loose portion of the stocking over the patient's ankle area and the outer side of the foot. This loose portion design fully considers the patient's ankle comfort and fit, ensuring that no additional pressure or discomfort is caused to the patient's ankle during exercise.

[0020] Meanwhile, the support portion of the sock is fitted over the patient's calf. This support portion is made of an elastic material, and its unique elastic design not only closely conforms to the contours of the patient's calf but also provides stable and continuous static support. This support not only helps enhance the patient's stability during exercise but also effectively prevents poor blood return caused by prolonged bed rest or lack of movement, thereby further reducing the risk of postoperative complications such as deep vein thrombosis.

[0021] Even more ingeniously, this invention incorporates elastic bands at the foot of the sock. The fixed section of the elastic band is located at the bottom of the sock, while the extended sections of the two elastic bands can be easily pulled by the patient. This design allows the patient to apply tension to their foot by pulling the extended sections of the elastic bands during ankle movements. This tension not only strengthens the patient's foot muscles but also provides resistance to ankle joint movement, thus assisting the patient in better performing the ankle pump function.

[0022] Ankle pump therapy is a simple and effective exercise method that promotes blood circulation in the lower limbs and accelerates postoperative recovery through repeated flexion and extension of the ankle joint. The exercise socks provided by this invention cleverly combine a loose section, a support section, and an elastic band design to offer patients a convenient and comfortable exercise tool, ensuring that patients can exercise safely and effectively after surgery, thereby promoting blood circulation and improving recovery.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a post-hip replacement surgery exercise stocking, including a stocking body 100 and an elastic band 200.

[0035] The sock body 100 has a support portion 110 and a loose portion 120; the support portion 110 is elastic and is used to fit over the patient's lower leg to provide support for the lower leg; the loose portion 120 is used to fit over the patient's ankle area and the outside of the foot; the elastic band 200 includes a fixing section 210 and an extension section 220; the fixing section 210 is fitted to the bottom of the sock body 100, and there are two extension sections 220, which extend from the fixed section 210 at the ends of the sock body 100 at the toe 101 and heel 102, respectively.

[0036] The hip replacement surgery exercise stockings provided in this embodiment are designed to assist patients in performing effective ankle joint exercises through a scientifically structured design, thereby promoting postoperative recovery. When patients need to wear these exercise stockings for exercise, they first need to cleverly slip the loose portion 120 of the stocking body 100 onto the patient's ankle area and the outer side of the foot. The design of this loose portion 120 fully considers the patient's ankle comfort and fit, ensuring that no additional pressure or discomfort is caused to the patient's ankle during exercise.

[0037] Meanwhile, the support portion 110 of the stocking body 100 is fitted onto the patient's calf. This support portion 110 is made of an elastic material, and its unique elastic design not only closely conforms to the contour of the patient's calf but also provides stable and continuous static support. This support not only helps enhance the patient's stability during exercise but also effectively prevents poor blood return caused by prolonged bed rest or lack of exercise, thereby further reducing the risk of postoperative complications such as deep vein thrombosis.

[0038] More ingeniously, this embodiment also incorporates an elastic band 200 at the foot position of the sock body 100. The fixed section 210 of the elastic band 200 is located at the bottom of the sock body 100, while the extension sections 220 of the two elastic bands 200 can be easily pulled by the patient. With this design, when the patient performs ankle joint movements, pulling the extension sections 220 of the elastic bands 200 applies a certain tension to the patient's foot. This tension not only strengthens the patient's foot muscles but also provides some resistance to ankle joint movements, thereby assisting the patient in better performing the ankle pump function.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the bottom of the sock body 100 near the toe 101 and the heel 102 are respectively provided with connecting sleeves 130, and the elastic band 200 passes through the two connecting sleeves 130 in sequence, so as to facilitate the fitting and position adjustment of the elastic band 200 relative to the sock body 100.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the connecting sleeve 130 has two connecting ends, which are connected by Velcro. The use of Velcro not only makes the disassembly and assembly process extremely simple, allowing users to complete the process with just a light press or tear, but also the Velcro itself has strong adhesion and durability, ensuring a stable connection between the connecting ends, preventing them from easily falling off or loosening.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the sole of the sock 100 is provided with an anti-slip layer 140. This design aims to ensure that patients receive more stable support when walking or standing while wearing the sock 100 of this embodiment, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of slipping due to wet or uneven ground. Specifically, the anti-slip layer 140 adopts a silicone anti-slip particle design. These silicone particles are evenly and densely distributed, which can closely adhere to the ground to form strong friction and effectively prevent slippage. In addition, the silicone material itself has good elasticity and wear resistance, which can maintain its performance for a long time and is not easy to age or wear, thereby ensuring the durability and reliability of the anti-slip layer 140.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the sock body 100 is provided with drawstrings 150 on the side near the opening 103 of the sock body 100. Two drawstrings 150 are symmetrically arranged, ensuring balanced tension and facilitating simultaneous operation by the patient's hands. When the patient prepares to put on the sock body 100 of this embodiment, they simply need to gently grasp the drawstrings 150 on both sides and pull in opposite directions to effectively unfold the sock body 100 and smoothly slip it onto the foot. This design not only greatly reduces the difficulty of putting on and taking off the sock body 100 but also reduces the patient's physical exertion.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, one end of the pull strap 150 is connected to the loose portion 120 of the sock body 100, and the other end of the pull strap 150 extends toward the opening 103 of the sock body 100. This design allows the patient to easily grasp the pull strap 150 when putting on the sock and pull it up with appropriate force and angle, thereby ensuring that the loose portion 120 can be accurately pulled up in place, covering and fitting the corresponding position of the patient's foot.

[0044] Meanwhile, due to its elastic properties, the support portion 110 of the sock body 100 naturally wraps around the patient's leg after the loose portion 120 is pulled into place, providing necessary support and a sense of enclosure. This characteristic allows the support portion 110 to be pulled and adjusted at the final stage to ensure that the entire sock body 100 fits the patient's leg snugly, neither too tight causing discomfort nor too loose causing it to slip down. Therefore, through this design, patients can more easily and freely control the position and fit of the sock body 100 during the sock-wearing process, improving the convenience and comfort of wearing socks.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the pull strap 150 is at least partially located inside the sock body 100 and extends out from the opening 103 of the sock body 100. By connecting the pull strap 150 to the interior of the sock body 100, a clever use of physical principles is made, allowing the patient to simply grasp the pull straps 150 on both sides and pull them in opposite directions when removing the sock, causing the two pull straps 150 to move away from each other. This action effectively causes the support portion 110 of the sock body 100 to slide quickly down the patient's leg, reducing the cumbersome steps of gradually rolling down the sock body 100 required in traditional sock removal processes.

[0046] As the support portion 110 slides down the leg, the loose portion 120 of the sock body 100 also loosens due to the loss of the lifting effect of the support portion 110, and naturally detaches from the patient's foot. This process requires almost no additional foot movements or leg bending from the patient, greatly simplifying the complexity and physical effort required to remove the sock, thus enabling the patient to remove the sock quickly and easily.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, the end of the pull strap 150 away from the stocking body 100 is provided with a pull ring 151, which is used to assist the patient in holding the pull strap 150 and pulling the stocking body 100.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, the opening 103 of the sock body 100 is provided with a widening ring 160 to enlarge the opening 103 of the sock body 100. This design cleverly expands the effective diameter of the sock opening, making the opening 103 of the sock body 100 more spacious and easier to enter.

[0049] The widened band 160 not only provides more space, making it easier for patients to accurately align their feet with the opening 103 of the sock body 100, reducing the discomfort caused by the sock opening being too tight or difficult to align, but also alleviates the pressure on the ankle and instep to some extent, making the whole sock-wearing process more comfortable and smooth.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the stretch ring 160 has greater stretch than the support portion 110 of the stocking body 100, and this design difference gives the stretch ring 160 unique elasticity and deformability.

[0051] Thanks to the high elasticity of the widened band 160, patients can easily increase the opening 103 of the sock body 100 by stretching and expanding the widened band 160 according to their individual foot size and sock wearing needs. This feature makes the sock body 100 more flexible and adaptable during the putting on and taking off process. Regardless of whether the patient's foot shape is wide or narrow, they can find the most suitable way to wear socks by adjusting the widened band 160.

[0052] Furthermore, because the widened band 160 is more elastic than the support section 110, it can quickly return to its initial shape even after repeated stretching and expansion, unlike the support section 110 which may deform or lose elasticity due to excessive stretching. This feature ensures that the stocking body 100 maintains a good shape and wearing effect during long-term use, extending its service life.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, the inner side of the loose portion 120 of the sock body 100 is provided with a low-friction layer. This design is intended to reduce the friction between the loose portion 120 and the skin, making the process of putting on and taking off the sock body 100 easier and smoother.

[0054] The low-friction layer utilizes an advanced low-friction coated fiber material, which possesses excellent lubrication and abrasion resistance, generating an extremely low coefficient of friction upon contact with the skin. Therefore, when a patient puts on or takes off socks, the low-friction layer on the inside of the loose section 120 effectively reduces frictional resistance with the foot skin, allowing the sock body 100 to slide more easily along the foot, avoiding difficulty or discomfort caused by excessive friction.

[0055] In addition, the low-friction coated fibers have excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties, keeping feet dry and comfortable during wear and reducing discomfort caused by dampness and heat. This characteristic makes the socks not only easy to put on and take off, but also maintain comfort and hygiene during prolonged wear.
