Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical care devices, and particularly relates to an intelligent split ankle guard shoe. Background Art

[0002] The ankle joint is composed of the articular surfaces at the lower ends of the tibia and fibula and the trochlea of the talus, so it is also known as the talocrural joint. The lower articular surface of the tibia and the medial and lateral ankle articular surfaces together form a "冂"-shaped articular fossa that accommodates the trochlea of the talus (articular head). Since the trochlear articular surface is wider in the front and narrower in the back, when the foot is dorsiflexed, the wider front part enters the fossa and the joint is stable; but when the foot is plantarflexed, such as when going downhill, the narrower back part of the trochlea enters the fossa, the ankle joint is loose and can make lateral movements, and at this time the ankle joint is prone to sprain, with inversion injury being the most common, because the lateral malleolus is longer and lower than the medial malleolus, which can prevent excessive valgus of the talus.

[0003] For mild ankle sprains, the ligaments are loosened or partially torn; for severe ones, they are completely ruptured, and there is subluxation of the ankle joint or concurrent fracture-dislocation. After an ankle sprain, the patient has pain and swelling in front of or below the outer heel. There may be ecchymosis in the acute stage. At this time, making an inverting movement of the foot will increase the pain, while making an eversion movement of the foot may cause no pain. There are many reasons for ankle sprains, such as insufficient warm-up; uneven sandy ground; poor sports shoes; lack of concentration during exercise; stepping on a ball when jumping and running; running on an uneven road is most likely to damage the ankle. Generally speaking, if the ankle hurts when moving it by oneself but not severely, it is mostly a soft tissue injury and can be treated by oneself. If there is severe pain when moving the ankle by oneself, one cannot stand or move, the pain is on the bone, there is a sound when spraining, and it swells rapidly after the injury, it is a manifestation of a fracture and one should immediately go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

[0004] For not very serious ankle sprains, immediate cold compress (soaking in cold water for 10 - 15 minutes) will reduce pain, prevent excessive swelling and help prevent internal bleeding in the tissue. If using ice cubes, they should not be in direct contact with the skin, otherwise it may burn the skin, and the ankle should be bandaged with gauze. A hot water basin and a cold water basin can be beneficial for treating ankle sprains, by stimulating blood replenishment to achieve the fastest cure and reduce swelling. Put the heel into a hot water basin at an appropriate temperature for about 15 seconds, then transfer it to a cold water basin for about 5 seconds, and so on.

[0005] Clinically, after an ankle sprain, an ankle guard is generally used for adjuvant treatment to tighten the ankle joint, so as to avoid spraining the ankle joint again and causing secondary injury when the ankle joint has not fully recovered, and at the same time provide a relatively stable environment for the recovery of the damaged joint.

[0006] However, currently, there are the following deficiencies in the prior art:

[0007] 1. Most of the existing ankle braces are relatively simple in form, and they directly use elastic bands to wrap around the ankle joint for tightening. The torque applied to the joint by the tightening is uneven and the tightening position is irregular, which ultimately leads to incomplete protection of the injured ankle joint and poor effect.

[0008] 2. Most ankle braces in the prior art only have a single tightening function and cannot perform a systematic detection of the entire injured ankle joint to achieve a better treatment effect.

[0009] 3. Usually, patients with ankle injuries cannot wear shoes after wearing ankle braces, which is inconvenient for their daily life. Summary of the invention

[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention designs an intelligent split ankle brace. First of all, the device changes the traditional ankle brace form and directly adopts a shoe-type ankle brace, and the upper and the sole are designed separately. In order to solve the problem that shoes cannot be worn after wearing the ankle brace, a kind of ankle brace is provided for patients with ankle injuries, which can not only tighten the ankle joint, but also be used as a shoe for walking to meet the patients' daily life, and facilitate the patients' daily activities during rehabilitation treatment; at the same time, the ankle brace is equipped with many intelligent electronic devices and a set of intelligent systems. For example, the ankle brace is equipped with a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and an ultrasonic probe, which can monitor in real time the tightening pressure applied by the device to the ankle joint and the temperature of the injured ankle joint. The ultrasonic probe can complete the internal monitoring of the entire ankle joint to check its internal recovery and injury conditions. The entire device is intelligent, creating a systematic system for the patient. Ankle support shoes that help ankle joint recovery. With the help of this electronic device, medical staff can understand the situation of the injured ankle joint at any time and adjust the rehabilitation strategy in time to improve the rehabilitation quality of the whole process; secondly, the device directly uses an internal air bag and an external tightening belt to tighten the injured ankle joint. The internal air bag provides an all-round uniform compression force, and the external tightening belt provides an external tightening force. The two cooperate with each other to make the tightening compression force of the ankle joint more uniform and more stable. The pressure of the joint can also be adjusted at any time by adjusting the pressure of the air bag, which improves the tightening quality of the injured ankle joint and is beneficial to its rehabilitation quality; finally, the device is directly connected to the mobile phone APP via Bluetooth, and the current status of the ankle joint and the operation of the electrical unit of the device can be checked through the mobile phone APP. The use of the entire device is simple and convenient, and easy to operate;
