Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nursing equipment technology, specifically a support device for the treatment of peripheral nerve lesions of the foot. Background Technology

[0002] Diabetic foot refers to a disease state in diabetic patients where ulcers and gangrene occur due to decreased lower limb protective function caused by neuropathy, and insufficient arterial perfusion caused by macrovascular and microvascular lesions, resulting in microcirculatory disorders. It is one of the more serious complications of diabetes.

[0003] Diabetic foot is caused by a variety of factors, including vascular and neuropathy. Therefore, in the daily care and treatment of diabetic foot patients, appropriate leg activities such as walking can effectively promote blood circulation in the legs and feet, improve insufficient blood supply to the feet, and effectively prevent the occurrence of diabetic foot for diabetic patients. For patients who already have diabetic foot, it also greatly promotes their recovery and treatment. Since excessive pressure on the feet is one of the external factors that cause foot damage in diabetic foot patients, how to effectively reduce the pressure on the feet when walking has become one of the daily care measures for diabetic foot patients.

[0004] To reduce pressure on the feet during activities such as walking and standing, pressure-reducing shoes and socks specially designed for diabetic foot patients are common care tools. These shoes and socks work by changing the material and adjusting elasticity to reduce pressure between the foot and the ground. However, relative to the patient's weight, the pressure-reducing effect is relatively weak, making them only suitable for diabetic patients who have not yet developed diabetic foot or those with early-stage diabetic foot without foot damage. For diabetic foot patients who have already developed foot damage, wearable devices are often used. These devices concentrate the weight on the patient's legs when walking or standing, allowing the foot to be suspended in the air, thus avoiding pressure on the foot. For example, the diabetic foot treatment and assisted walking device published in Chinese Patent Application No. 2020201329182 uses a force transmission bracket to transfer the pressure during walking or standing to the thigh and calf, thereby reducing pressure on the patient's foot.

[0005] However, in practical applications, it has been found that patients with diabetic foot often have weakened foot mobility and are not suitable for strenuous exercise. While wearable devices can reduce pressure on the feet, they are usually quite heavy because they need to transmit and distribute force. When worn, the patient's weight is concentrated on the thigh, and the weight of the device itself also acts on the patient's leg when walking. This means that the patient needs to exert more effort for the same amount of exercise, making it unsuitable for patients with poor physical condition, especially elderly patients with poor physical strength and health. In view of this, the present invention proposes a support device for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy of the foot to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a support device for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy of the foot.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: The present invention provides a support device for treating peripheral nerve lesions of the foot, including a pressure-reducing leg sleeve, which is sleeved on the patient's leg. The pressure-reducing leg sleeve includes a thigh, a calf, and a grounding part, which are sequentially hinged together. The thigh, calf, and grounding parts each include a support plate and a strap. The support plate is symmetrically designed, and the strap is installed on the support plate. The ends of the strap are designed like Velcro to bind the support plate to the patient's leg. The bottom of the pressure-reducing sleeve leg is equipped with an elastic pad layer, and its specific installation position is the bottom of the support plate in the grounding part; A stretching and limiting assembly includes a walking support frame, which is a frame structure. When in use, the patient is located inside the walking support frame, which provides support for the patient. Each front end of the walking support frame is rotatably equipped with a walking wheel. Elastic band: An elastic band is installed on the walking auxiliary frame. The elastic band is made of elastic material and is detachably and fixedly connected to the pressure-reducing leg sleeve. A limiting belt is installed on the walking auxiliary frame. The limiting belt is made of flexible metal braided belt and is detachably fixed to the support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the walking auxiliary frame consists of a support frame and a handrail, with the handrail located above the support frame. A lifting screw is rotatably mounted on the handrail, and the lifting screw is threadedly connected to the support frame.

[0009] Preferably, the walking aid is fixedly mounted on a first mounting plate, the first mounting plate being located in front of the patient, and the elastic band is mounted on the first mounting plate; A second mounting plate is mounted on the first mounting plate, the second mounting plate being located on both sides of the patient, and the limiting band is mounted on the second mounting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are respectively provided with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove. Limiting blocks are slidably installed in both the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove. The limiting blocks are provided with a fixing groove and an adjusting groove. The adjusting groove is designed to be perpendicular to the fixing groove. A fixing valve is threadedly connected in the adjusting groove. The elastic band and the limiting band extend into the corresponding fixing grooves. The fixing valve is used to pressurize and fix the elastic band and the limiting band.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting band has evenly distributed fixing holes, which correspond to the fixing valve and are used to enhance the fixing effect of the fixing valve on the limiting band.

[0012] Preferably, the first mounting plate has a third sliding groove, and one end of the second mounting plate is slidably installed in the third sliding groove. The third sliding groove is used to adjust the distance between the second mounting plate and the patient's side.

[0013] Preferably, the pressure-reducing leg is fitted with a massage ring, which includes an elastic band and ball bearings. The ball bearings are evenly fixed on the elastic band. An elastic rope is fixedly installed on the grounding part. Pull ropes are fixedly installed on each of the limiting blocks. A connecting ring is fitted on the elastic band. The elastic rope and the pull rope are both fixedly connected to the connecting ring.

[0014] Preferably, both the ball bearing and the elastic ring are hollow, and an inflatable bladder with a built-in spring is fixedly installed on one side of the elastic ring. The inflatable bladder is equipped with a one-way valve and an air outlet pipe, and the end of the air outlet pipe is threaded to a sealing plug.

[0015] Preferably, a retaining ring is fixedly installed on the thigh, the pull rope passes through the retaining ring, and the retaining ring is used to limit the pull rope.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The present invention provides a support device for treating peripheral neuropathy of the foot. By setting a tension limiting component and using elastic bands and limiting bands, the pressure-reducing leg is connected to a walking aid frame. On the one hand, the limiting band limits the pressure-reducing leg, so that part of the patient's weight is distributed by the walking aid frame, thereby reducing the pressure on the pressure-reducing leg and making it easier to manufacture the pressure-reducing leg with lighter materials. On the other hand, the elastic band plays an auxiliary role when the patient lifts their leg, and together with the reduction in the weight of the pressure-reducing leg, it effectively enhances the convenience of the patient's walking.

[0017] 2. The support device for treating peripheral neuropathy of the foot described in this invention, by setting a massage ring, on the one hand, promotes blood circulation in the patient during exercise, which can enhance the effect of exercise on rehabilitation and treatment. On the other hand, it can also relieve leg fatigue in the patient. At the same time, when the patient is resting, he can actively make the massage ring roll on the leg by lifting and stepping down, thereby enhancing the effect of the massage ring.

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a support device for treating peripheral neuropathy of the foot, including a pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1, which is fitted onto the patient's leg. The pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 includes a thigh part 11, a calf part 12 and a grounding part 13, which are sequentially hinged together. The thigh 11, lower leg 12 and grounding part 13 each include a support plate 14 and a strap 15. The support plate 14 is symmetrically designed, and the strap 15 is installed on the support plate 14. The two ends of the strap 15 are designed like Velcro to bind the support plate 14 to the patient's leg. The bottom of the pressure-reducing sleeve 1 is equipped with an elastic pad 16, and its specific installation position is the bottom of the support plate 14 in the grounding part 13; It also includes a stretching and limiting component, which includes a walking support frame 2. The walking support frame 2 is a frame structure. When in use, the patient is located inside the walking support frame 2. The walking support frame 2 provides support for the patient. The front end of the walking support frame 2 is rotatably equipped with walking wheels 21. Elastic band 22: An elastic band 22 is installed on the walking auxiliary frame 2. The elastic band 22 is made of elastic material and is detachably and fixedly connected to the pressure-reducing sleeve leg 1. Limiting belt 23 is installed on the walking auxiliary frame 2. The limiting belt 23 is made of flexible metal braided belt. The limiting belt 23 is detachably fixed to the support plate 14. In the preparation work for diabetic foot patients before standing or walking, diabetic foot patients need to wear foot decompression devices to reduce the pressure on the feet caused by walking or standing. In routine operation, diabetic foot patients need to wear soft and comfortable shoes and socks. The presence of shoes and socks can effectively make elastic contact between the patient's feet and the ground. However, since the patient's weight is still concentrated on the patient's feet, for diabetic foot patients with foot damage, it is necessary to add wearable devices worn on the legs to distribute the weight pressure to the legs. As the user group is further refined, for middle-aged and elderly patients who are relatively weak, further decompression is required. Specifically, for middle-aged and elderly patients, the preparation before exercise first requires wearing comfortable shoes and socks. Secondly, the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 should be placed on the legs. It is important to note that when putting on the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1, the straps 15 need to be completely loosened. Then, the leg is inserted into the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1. During this process, the position of the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 is adjusted so that the thigh 11, calf 12, and grounding part 13 correspond to the patient's thigh, calf, and foot, respectively. In this invention, the thigh 11, calf 12, and grounding part 13 all include a support plate 14 and straps 15. The support plate 14 can be made of an adjustable telescopic plate, making the device suitable for the general public, or it can be customized to ensure that the telescopic leg sleeve is proportionate to the patient's leg. Adjusting the telescopic leg sleeve... When positioning the straps on the patient's legs, the elastic pad 16 at the bottom of the support plate 14 in the grounding part 13 should extend beyond the sole of the foot. The length of this extension can be greater than or equal to the thickness of the patient's shoe sole. The specific adjustment should be based on the patient's comfort. After adjustment, when the patient stands, their foot should feel as if it is lightly stepping or almost touching the ground. At this point, the patient's weight is mainly concentrated on their legs through the straps 15, while the sole of the foot experiences minimal stress. This reduces stimulation to the patient's feet when standing or walking. The presence of the elastic pad 16 allows the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1, fixed to the patient's leg, to make elastic contact with the ground. On one hand, the elastic pad 16 prevents damage to the road surface; on the other hand, it also... To reduce impact damage to the patient's legs, after the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 is worn, it is connected to the tension limiting component. The walking aid frame 2 in the tension limiting component is placed on the ground. During use, the patient's hands and elbows are placed on the walking aid frame 2, which facilitates the patient's support for standing and reduces the chance of falling while walking. The elastic band 22 and the limiting band 23 combine the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 and the walking aid frame 2. The elastic band 22 provides an elastic connection between the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 and the walking aid frame 2. When the patient stands, the elastic band 22 stretches under the pull of the patient's weight. When the patient lifts their leg to walk, the elastic band 22 tends to move upwards with the support of the walking aid frame 2. The system assists patients in lifting their legs, reducing the effort required and making walking easier. The limiting strap 23 fixes the minimum vertical height of the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1. It's important to understand that after being worn, the limiting strap 23 maintains a certain distance between the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 and the ground. When the patient stands or walks, as the leg moves downwards, the elastic padding layer 16 beneath the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 contacts the ground first. As the leg sleeve 1 continues to move downwards, the elastic padding layer 16 deforms, shortening the distance between the leg sleeve 1 and the ground. When the limiting strap 23 tightens, it restricts the pressure on the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1, transferring some of the patient's pressure to the walking aid frame 2, thereby reducing the pressure on the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1.When pressure is fully applied to the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1, under the patient's weight, the pressure is concentrated entirely on the elastic pad 16 and the support plate 14, causing a decrease in the elasticity of the elastic pad 16 and, in severe cases, even bending of the support plate 14. Using a limiting band 23 to limit the pressure reduces the wear on the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, as the proportion of pressure borne by the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 decreases during use, the strength requirement for the support plate 14 is reduced, allowing for the use of lighter materials and thus reducing the burden on the patient when lifting their leg. This invention, by setting up a tension limiting component, uses an elastic band 22 and a limiting band 23 to connect the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 to the walking aid frame 2. On the one hand, the limiting band 23 limits the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1, so that part of the patient's weight is distributed by the walking aid frame 2, thereby reducing the pressure on the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 and making it easier to manufacture the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 with lighter materials. On the other hand, the elastic band 22 plays an auxiliary role when the patient lifts their leg, and together with the reduction in the weight of the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1, it effectively enhances the convenience of the patient's walking.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the walking assistance frame 2 is composed of a support frame 24 and a handrail 25. The handrail 25 is located above the support frame 24, and a lifting screw 26 is rotatably mounted on the handrail 25. The lifting screw 26 is threadedly connected to the support frame 24. The support frame 24 and the handrail 25 together form the walking aid frame 2. In actual application, the support frame 24 and the handrail 25 are combined and connected by the lifting screw 26. When adapting to different groups of people, the patient can turn the lifting screw 26 to adjust the height of the handrail 25 so that the height of the walking aid frame 2 meets the patient's needs.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the walking aid frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting plate 3, the first mounting plate 3 is located in front of the patient, and the elastic band 22 is mounted on the first mounting plate 3; A second mounting plate 31 is mounted on the first mounting plate 3, the second mounting plate 31 is located on both sides of the patient, and the limiting band 23 is mounted on the second mounting plate 31; In this invention, the elastic band 22 and the limiting band 23 are connected to the walking aid frame 2 through the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 31. Under the constraint of the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 31, the elastic band 22 is located in front of the patient, and the limiting band 23 is located on both sides of the patient. When the patient walks, the patient pushes the walking aid frame 2 to move, so the walking aid frame 2 is located in front of the patient. At this time, the elastic band 22 provides the patient's legs with an upward and forward pulling force, effectively enhancing the patient's forward stepping power. The limiting band 23 is located on both sides of the patient, which effectively avoids the limiting band 23 from obstructing the patient's walking.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 31 are respectively provided with a first sliding groove 32 and a second sliding groove 33. Limiting blocks 39 are slidably installed in the first sliding groove 32 and the second sliding groove 33. The limiting blocks 39 are provided with a fixing groove 34 and an adjusting groove 35. The adjusting groove 35 is designed to be perpendicular to the fixing groove 34. A fixing valve 36 is threadedly connected in the adjusting groove 35. The elastic band 22 and the limiting band 23 extend into the corresponding fixing groove 34. The fixing valve 36 is used to pressurize and fix the elastic band 22 and the limiting band 23. By setting the first slide groove 32, the patient can adjust the position of the elastic band 22 according to the position of their legs when using the device, ensuring that the elastic band 22 is always positioned directly in front of the patient's legs, preventing the elastic band 22 from pulling the patient's legs to the side. The second slide groove 33, during forward walking, when the patient's legs move forward, the corresponding limiting band 23 pulls the limiting block 39 forward within the second slide groove 33. Combined with the deformation of the elastic pad layer 16, this prevents the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 from failing to contact the ground. Furthermore, the limiting block 39... The limiting blocks 39 are located in the first slide groove 32 and the second slide groove 33, respectively, and are used to install the limiting band 23 and the elastic band 22. When wearing the device, by rotating the fixing valve 36, the fixing valve 36 can be separated from the limiting band 23 or the elastic band 22, thereby adjusting the tension of the elastic band 22 on the patient's leg, or adjusting the distance between the pressure-reducing leg 1 and the ground. After adjustment, the limiting band 23 or the elastic band 22 is fixed again by the fixing valve 36. It should be noted that during adjustment, the distance between the pressure-reducing leg 1 and the ground is less than the thickness of the elastic pad 16, so that the device can adapt to the patient's needs.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting band 23 is provided with uniformly distributed fixing holes 37, which correspond to the fixing valve 36 and are used to enhance the fixing effect of the fixing valve 36 on the limiting band 23. By setting the fixing hole 37, since the limiting band 23 is supported by a flexible metal braided band and does not have elastic deformation capability, when the fixing valve 36 is pressurized, one end of the fixing valve 36 passes through the fixing hole 37, which enhances the fixing effect on the limiting band 23. The elastic band 22 itself has elastic deformation capability, so when the fixing valve 36 presses, the elastic band 22 can deform itself, making the fixing pressure of the fixing valve 36 on the elastic band 22 stronger, so there is no need to open the hole.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a third sliding groove 38 is provided on the first mounting plate 3, and one end of the second mounting plate 31 is slidably installed in the third sliding groove 38. The third sliding groove 38 is used to adjust the distance between the second mounting plate 31 and the patient's side. By setting the third slide groove 38, with the cooperation of the first slide groove 32 and the third slide groove 38, the elastic band 22 and the limiting band 23 can both be adjusted to be close to the patient's side, thereby allowing the limiting band 23 to fit snugly against the patient's side and enhancing the effectiveness of the device.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a massage ring 4 is provided on the outside of the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1. The massage ring 4 includes an elastic ring band 41 and ball bearings 42. The ball bearings 42 are evenly fixed on the elastic ring band 41. An elastic rope 43 is fixedly installed on the grounding part 13. Pull ropes 44 are fixedly installed on each of the limiting blocks 39. A connecting ring 45 is provided on the elastic ring band 41. The elastic rope 43 and the pull rope 44 are both fixedly connected to the connecting ring 45. During the patient's walking, the pressure remains constant at the contact point between the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 and the leg. Therefore, by incorporating a massage ring 4, the vertical height of the lowest point of the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 changes as the patient bends and straightens their leg. When the patient stands, the limiting band 23 and the pull rope 44 are taut. Under the action of the pull rope 44, the massage ring 4 is positioned at the upper part of the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1, and the elastic rope 43 is extended. When the patient lifts their leg, the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1 moves upward, at which point the limiting band 23 and the pull rope 44 relax. Under the elastic action of the elastic rope 43, the massage ring 4 moves towards the grounding part 13. During the movement of the massage ring 4, the ball bearing 42 interacts with the patient... Friction exists between the leg and the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1. Under the action of friction, the massage ring 4 rolls, thereby pressing the patient's leg and promoting blood circulation. When the patient's leg moves downward, the massage ring 4 pulls the elastic rope 43 again under the action of the pull rope 44, moving to the position of the thigh 11 in the pressure-reducing leg sleeve 1. On the one hand, the design of the massage ring 4 can enhance the patient's exercise effect on rehabilitation and treatment by promoting blood circulation during exercise. On the other hand, it can also relieve leg fatigue. At the same time, when the patient is resting, he can actively make the massage ring 4 roll on the leg by lifting and stepping down, thereby enhancing the effect of the massage ring 4.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the ball bearing 42 and the elastic ring belt 41 are hollow. An inflatable bladder 5 with a built-in spring is fixedly installed on one side of the elastic ring belt 41. A one-way valve 51 and an air outlet pipe 52 are installed on the inflatable bladder 5. A sealing plug 53 is threaded to the end of the air outlet pipe 52. In this invention, by manually pressing the air bladder 5, under the action of the internal spring and the one-way valve 51, the air bladder 5 draws in external air and delivers it to the ball bearing 42 and the elastic ring 41, which increases the diameter of the massage ring 4 and enhances the pressure on the patient's legs. The air outlet 52 and the sealing plug 53 are used to release air. In actual use, the patient can adjust it to make the massage ring 4 feel more in line with the patient's needs.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a retaining ring 54 is fixedly installed on the thigh part 11, and the pull rope 44 passes through the retaining ring 54. The retaining ring 54 is used to limit the pull rope 44. The setting of the retaining ring 54 can limit the pull rope 44 and facilitate the installation of the pull rope 44.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
