Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and more specifically, it relates to a portable rehabilitation assistance device for post-thyroid surgery. Background Art

[0002] Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a malignant tumor that is most likely to occur in the head and neck. Total thyroidectomy is usually used for treatment. After the resection, patients usually experience stiffness and limited movement in the shoulder and neck areas. In order to achieve better recovery, different degrees of shoulder and neck exercises are required at different stages after the surgery to effectively exercise the shoulder and neck areas without secondary strain of the wound.

[0003] The existing Chinese invention patent CN114191782A provides a neck movement assistance and rehabilitation training orthosis for patients after total thyroidectomy. It can not only support the head, allowing the patient to perform axial rotation and lateral bending movements in the neutral position, but also be switched to an active state, providing resistance that changes with the angle to resist extension movements. Overall, it helps the patient's active rehabilitation training, and is small, beautiful, and convenient to wear.

[0004] The above-mentioned invention patent also has the following disadvantages:

[0005] 1. The height of the device is fixed, but there are certain differences in the neck lengths of each patient. When the matching degree is not high, the fixing effect is correspondingly weakened;

[0006] 2. The position behind the neck of the device is not breathable, easily causes sweating, the comfort of the patient is not high, and it is not hygienic, easily breeds bacteria, and is not conducive to wound recovery;

[0007] 3. The device cannot meet the rehabilitation exercise needs of patients at various stages after the surgery, and its functionality is too weak. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a portable rehabilitation assistance device for post-thyroid surgery to solve the above technical problems.

[0009] The present invention provides a portable rehabilitation assistance device for post-thyroid surgery in the first aspect, which includes an upper baffle, an upper connecting piece, a lower baffle, a lower connecting piece, and a chin gasket. The upper baffle is arc-shaped, and its two ends are respectively connected to an upper connecting piece. A chin gasket is detachably connected between the two upper connecting pieces; the lower baffle is arc-shaped, and its two ends are respectively connected to a lower connecting piece;

[0010] An expansion rod two is arranged between the upper connecting piece and the lower connecting piece, and an expansion rod one is arranged between the upper baffle and the lower baffle;

[0011] The bottom of the lower connecting piece is connected to a fixed connecting column, and the bottom of the fixed connecting column is connected to a shoulder fastener.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper baffle and the upper connecting piece form an arc-shaped structure above the device, the lower baffle and the lower connecting piece form an arc-shaped structure below the device, the chin gasket is connected to the upper arc-shaped structure to form a circle, and the upper and lower parts are further connected by the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod to form the basic framework of the device. At the bottom of the lower connecting piece, the shoulder coupler is connected through a fixed connecting column, making the device more stable. At the same time, its own weight is distributed on the shoulders, without squeezing the neck or pressing the wound.

[0013] The present invention is further configured as: the chin gasket is a crescent-shaped sheet plate, a bayonet is provided on the side of the upper baffle close to the chin gasket, the bayonet is adapted to the chin gasket, and the first connecting piece is connected to the chin gasket through the bayonet.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the chin gasket is set in a crescent shape, wider in the middle and narrower at both ends, which can be better installed and fixed with the upper connecting piece, and at the same time has enough width to place the chin.

[0015] The present invention is further configured as: disposable sanitary cotton is attached to the side walls of the upper baffle, the upper connecting piece, the lower baffle, the lower connecting piece and the chin gasket close to the neck.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, attaching the disposable sanitary cotton can ensure medical hygiene on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the friction between the device itself and the skin and avoid damage to the skin surface layer.

[0017] The present invention provides another usage mode of the above device in the second aspect, and is further configured on the basis of the above technical solution: two connecting holes one are symmetrically provided on the upper baffle, a detachable connecting column one is detachably connected to the connecting hole one, and a head baffle is detachably connected to the detachable connecting column one.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, two detachable connecting columns one are connected in the connecting hole one provided at the top of the upper baffle, and then the head baffle is connected through the detachable connecting column one. Within 3 days after the patient's surgery, in order to avoid pulling the wound, large-scale activities of the shoulder and neck cannot be carried out. At this time, the setting of the head baffle can effectively control the movement range of the patient's head.

[0019] The present invention is further configured as: the head baffle is made of rubber or silicone material.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the comfort can be effectively improved when fixing the head, and it will not hurt when the head collides with it.

On the basis of the above technical solution: Two connecting holes II are symmetrically arranged at the top of the chin gasket, and two connecting holes I are symmetrically arranged on the upper baffle. The connecting hole I is detachably connected with a detachable connecting column I, and the connecting hole II is detachably connected with a detachable connecting column II. The detachable connecting column I and the detachable connecting column II are detachably connected with a perforated airbag ring. The perforated airbag ring is provided with 4 airbag ring holes, and the two detachable connecting columns I and the two detachable connecting columns II respectively pass through the airbag ring holes to achieve detachable connection with the perforated airbag ring.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the detachable connecting column I and the detachable connecting column II are respectively connected through the connecting hole I and the connecting hole II, and the detachable connecting column I and the detachable connecting column II are then connected with the perforated airbag ring. When minor shoulder and neck movements are required within 4 - 10 days after the patient's operation, it can be carried out in this mode. It is very difficult for the patient to control the amplitude of the movement during exercise. When the airbag ring is put on, there is no space for the patient's head to move forward, backward, left or right when it fits with the airbag ring, which can better assist the patient in controlling the degree of movement. It can avoid secondary injury to the patient's wound while meeting the exercise requirements.

[0023] To sum up, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The present invention realizes 3 modes of the device through a simple structure, so that it can meet the usage requirements of patients in three stages: 1 - 3 days, 4 - 10 days, and 11 - 30 days after the operation;

[0025] 2. Within 1 - 3 days, by adding a head baffle, the movement of the patient's head and neck is restricted, and it is not easy to shake, which helps the wound to recover;

[0026] 3. Within 4 - 10 days, by setting a perforated airbag ring, the patient can better control the degree of movement when exercising the neck, without causing secondary injury to the wound, and at the same time can effectively exercise the neck;

[0027] 4. Within 11 - 30 days, the head plate and the perforated airbag ring are no longer connected, increasing the range of neck movement of the patient and better restoring the function of the neck itself.

[0028] 5. The basic skeleton is divided into upper and lower layers, which is breathable in the middle, will not accumulate sweat on the neck, reduce the growth of bacteria, and is beneficial to the recovery of the wound.

[0029] 6. The height can be adjusted to be applicable to patients with different neck lengths. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
