Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ankle pump exercises, and specifically relates to a conveniently wearable ankle pump exercise assistance device. Background Art

[0002] Lower extremity venous thrombosis is one of the common and serious complications of surgical patients and long-term bedridden patients. For surgical patients, the trauma, anesthesia during the operation, and long-term postoperative immobilization will all make the blood in a hypercoagulable state, increasing the risk of thrombus formation. Due to limited limb movement, the blood return of the lower extremity veins in long-term bedridden patients is slow, and it is also extremely easy to induce lower extremity venous thrombosis. Once lower extremity venous thrombosis occurs, it will not only bring great pain to the patient, such as limb swelling, pain, skin color change, etc., but may also lead to pulmonary embolism in severe cases, endangering the patient's life. Clinical practice shows that assisting the patient to perform ankle pump movements is one of the effective measures to prevent lower extremity venous thrombosis.

[0003] However, in actual clinical nursing, the implementation of this preventive measure faces many difficulties. Although medical staff will guide patients, patients often do not actively perform ankle pump movements due to their own inertia, insufficient awareness of the disease, etc. Even if they do, the number of times is far from reaching the standard required for thrombus prevention. At the same time, nurses are burdened with heavy nursing work. They not only have to be responsible for the daily care and condition monitoring of patients, but also perform various medical operations. Their work is very busy and they simply do not have enough time to personally watch each patient complete ankle pump movements. However, the work of preventing lower extremity venous thrombosis is crucial. Once a patient develops lower extremity venous thrombosis, the nurse needs to bear corresponding responsibilities. The head nurse will hold the nursing work accountable, and the hospital will also intervene in the investigation. At the same time, a reasonable explanation needs to be given to the patient's family. Therefore, developing a device or method that can not only effectively prevent lower extremity venous thrombosis in patients but also reduce the workload of nurses has become a problem to be solved in the current clinical nursing field.
