Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a neck rehabilitation training device after thyroid surgery. Background Technology

[0002] The thyroid gland is located under the skin at the front of the neck. Its main function is to control the rate of metabolism. Thyroid surgery is used for thyroid cancer and malignant lymphoma, and mainly involves surgically removing all or part of the thyroid tissue. After thyroid surgery, neck pain, stiffness, and shoulder stiffness may occur. It is necessary to move the neck to promote blood and lymphatic return, which can help relieve neck stiffness and reduce the occurrence of scar contracture.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent No. 202210057721.0 provides a neck movement assist and rehabilitation training orthosis after total thyroidectomy. When in use, the device can pull or squeeze the center of the variable damping device by pressing the front support, thereby generating a reaction torque that changes linearly with the angle to resist the movement at this time, so as to train the head and neck.

[0046] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] It should be noted that all uses of "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present invention are for the purpose of distinguishing two entities or parameters with the same name but different names. It is clear that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention. Subsequent embodiments will not explain this in detail.

[0048] Example:

[0049] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, the present invention provides a neck rehabilitation training device after thyroid surgery, including a shoulder support 101, a neck support 201 movably mounted on the shoulder support 101, and a cover cloth 202 made of flexible material between the neck support 201 and the shoulder support 101. Two sets of fixing straps 103 are provided at the bottom of the shoulder support 101, one end of which is fixedly connected to one side of the shoulder support 101, and the other end is detachably connected to the other side of the shoulder support 101. Two sets of support plates 205 are provided on both sides of the opening on one side of the neck support 201, forming a gap between the two sets of support plates 205 for inserting the chin. A chin support strap 206 is fixedly mounted on one set of support plates 205, and the other end of the chin support strap 206 is detachably connected to the other set of support plates 205.

[0050] When using the device, the shoulder support 101 is placed on the patient's shoulder, and the neck brace 201 is fastened to the patient's neck. Both the shoulder support 101 and the neck brace 201 are made of a flexible, deformable, rigid material to facilitate wearing the device. After the shoulder support 101 and neck brace 201 are secured, the shoulder support 101 is fixed to the patient's shoulder using a fixing strap 103. The detachable end of the fixing strap 103 can be connected to the shoulder support 101 via Velcro or buckles. The neck brace 201 is fixed to the patient's neck using a chin support strap 206, ensuring that the chin is positioned between the two sets of support plates 205. The chin support strap 206 contacts the patient's chin, lifting it. When the patient turns their head, the two sets of support plates 205 can rotate the neck brace 201 along its axis. When the patient raises their head, the back of the neck brace 201 can move the neck brace 201. When the patient lowers their head, the chin support strap 206 can move the neck brace 201.

[0051] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, a fixed shell 301 is fixedly mounted on the shoulder support 101. A movable frame 401 rotatable along its axis is provided on one side of the fixed shell 301. A first training component is provided at the connection between the fixed shell 301 and the movable frame 401, which generates resistance to the movement of the movable frame 401. The first training component includes a movable disk 402 fixedly mounted on the movable frame 401. A mounting post 601 is provided on the movable disk 402. The mounting post 601 is rotatably connected to the fixed shell 301 along its axis. A constant force spring 602 is provided inside the fixed shell 301. One end of the constant force spring 602 is connected to the fixed shell 301, and the other end is connected to the mounting post 601.

[0052] When the patient moves their head from side to side, the neck brace 201 moves along the axis of the mounting post 601, which in turn causes the mounting post 601 to rotate. During the rotation, the mounting post 601 causes the constant force spring 602 to deform, thereby generating resistance to the head movement through the restoring ability of the constant force spring 602, so as to train the head movement.

[0053] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, a hinged connecting frame 502 is provided on the movable frame 401. The connecting frame 502 and the movable frame 401 are connected through a second training component. The second training component generates resistance to the movement of the connecting frame 502. The second training component includes a first mounting base 403 provided on the movable frame 401 and a second mounting base 503 provided on the connecting frame 502. An elastic member 404 is fixedly provided on the first mounting base 403, and one end of the elastic member 404 abuts against the second mounting base 503.

[0054] When the patient lifts their head, the neck brace 201 moves. During this movement, the neck brace 201 causes the connecting frame 502 to rotate along its hinge point with the movable frame 401, thereby compressing the elastic element 404. The restoring ability of the elastic element 404 generates resistance to the movement of the neck brace 201, thus training the head-lifting action.

[0055] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the neck brace 201 and the fixed shell 301 are connected by a third training component. The neck brace 201 can rotate along its axis, and the third training component generates resistance to the rotation of the neck brace 201. A slider 501 is provided at the end of the connecting frame 502, and an arc-shaped track 207 is provided on the neck brace 201. The slider 501 slides and is locked in the arc-shaped track 207 along the extension direction of the arc-shaped track 207. The third training component includes two sets of connecting plates 302, which are respectively provided on both sides of the fixed shell 301. Multiple sets of first connecting rings 303 are provided on both sets of connecting plates 302, and multiple sets of second connecting rings 208 are arranged at intervals on the neck brace 201. Each set of first connecting rings 303 and second connecting rings 208 is connected by a set of tension springs 304.

[0056] The neck brace 201 can be rotated by rotating the head. The arc track 207 on the neck brace 201 rotates relative to the slider 501, thereby stretching multiple sets of tension springs 304. The restoring ability of the tension springs 304 generates resistance to the rotation of the neck brace 201, thus exercising the rotation of the head. During the left and right head swinging, the tension springs 304 on one side can be stretched to improve the training effect of head and neck swinging. The tension springs 304 can also be stretched during the head lowering process, further improving the training effect of head and neck movement. The tension springs 304 can be added or removed according to the patient's physical condition to adjust the training intensity, thus improving the applicability of the device.

[0057] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a protective pad 203 is fixedly disposed on the inner side of the neck brace 201, and a protective strip 204 is disposed at the opening of the neck brace 201. Both the protective pad 203 and the protective strip 204 are made of flexible material. A shoulder pad 102 is disposed on the inner side of the shoulder support 101, and the shoulder pad 102 is made of flexible material. The protective pad 203 protects the skin of the neck, and the protective strip 204 protects the skin of the cheeks, preventing skin injury during rehabilitation training. The shoulder pad 102 increases the comfort of using the device.

[0058] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0059] In use, the shoulder support 101 is fixed to the patient's shoulder, and the neck support 201 is fixed to the patient's neck. The patient can move the neck support 201 by swinging their head left and right, causing the movable frame 401 to rotate along the axis of the fixed shell 301. This causes the constant force spring 602 to deform, and the return of the constant force spring 602 generates resistance to the movement of the movable frame 401, thus training the neck to move. The patient can also rotate the connecting frame 502 along the hinge point of the neck support 201 by raising or lowering their head. During the head-raising process, the elastic element 404 generates resistance to the movement of the connecting frame 502. The resistance generated by the tension spring 304 during the head-down movement trains the head-up or head-down movements. Patients can also rotate their heads left and right, causing the neck brace 201 to rotate along its axis. This movement stretches the tension spring 304, which in turn generates resistance to the head rotation through its restoring ability, thus training the neck rotation. The combination of the first, second, and third training components provides multi-directional training for the head and neck, making it suitable for different groups of people and improving the rehabilitation effect of the neck after thyroid surgery.

[0060] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of the present invention and its advantages. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
