[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0018] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a special rehabilitation pillow for rotator cuff repair surgery, comprising a rectangular support plate 1 for supporting the height of the forearm, a soft cushion 11 is provided above the support plate 1, and a plurality of first adjustment mechanisms 2 for adjusting the horizontal height of the support plate 1 are provided below the support plate 1. A hinge 4 and an extension plate 3 movably installed below the support plate 1 through the hinge 4 are provided on one side of the support plate 1. When the extension plate 3 is unfolded and fixed, it corresponds to the flat position of the forearm below the elbow of a person.

[0019] Due to the different body shapes of different patients, the required lifting height of the support plate 1 is also different. When in use, the required horizontal height of the support plate 1 is first preset according to the patient's body shape and the appropriate lifting position of the affected part, and then the first adjustment mechanism 2 is adjusted to the corresponding length, so that the support plate 1 is fixed at a suitable height position, and the patient's forearm support can be placed above the support plate 1. By setting an extension plate 3 movably installed at the lower side of the support plate 1, when the patient needs to horizontally place the forearm below the elbow, the extension plate 3 is unfolded and fixed, so that the extension plate 3 provides horizontal support for the forearm below the elbow, avoiding the drooping of the forearm causing the elbow to pull the affected shoulder and affect the recovery of the postoperative wound. The overall structure is simple and easy to use.

[0020] The number of the first adjustment mechanisms 2 in the embodiment of the utility model is four, which are respectively arranged at the corresponding positions of the four corners of the support plate 1. By arranging the first adjustment mechanisms 2 at the four corners of the support plate 1, since the rehabilitation pillow is usually placed on a bed for the patient to maintain a supine position, soft materials such as bedding on the bed can easily cause the support plate 1 to be unable to remain horizontal. Therefore, the first adjustment mechanisms 2 are adjusted separately according to the height conditions of the bed in different situations, so that the support plate 1 can be adjusted to a horizontal state on different beds, so as to better maintain the stability of the patient's affected part.

[0021] In order to fix the support extension plate 3, the extension plate 3 in the utility model is provided with several second adjustment mechanisms 5 for supporting the horizontal height of the extension plate 3 on the side facing the support plate 1. The adjustable maximum height of the second adjustment mechanism 5 is smaller than the adjustable maximum height of the first adjustment mechanism 2. Since the extension plate 3 is installed on one side of the support plate 1 by the hinge 4, the rotation of the hinge 4 has limited unidirectionality, and the extension plate 3 is stored under the support plate 1 when not in use. Therefore, the hinge 4 limits the maximum rotation angle of the extension plate 3 to be parallel to the support plate 1, that is, the horizontal height of the forearm below the elbow lifted by the extension plate 3 can only be parallel to the horizontal height of the forearm lifted by the support plate 1. If the adjustable maximum height of the second adjustment height is greater than the adjustable maximum height of the first adjustment plate, it is easy to cause the support plate 1 to tilt, resulting in the stability of the support plate 1 for the forearm being destroyed. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to set the adjustable maximum height of the second adjustment mechanism 5 to be smaller than the adjustable maximum height of the first adjustment mechanism 2.

[0022] The first adjusting mechanism 2 in the utility model can be adjusted by motor or manually. In order to simplify the equipment structure, reduce medical costs, and reduce the weight of the equipment for easy carrying, motor adjustment with a heavy motor is usually not adopted. There are various structures and methods for manually adjusting the horizontal height of the support plate 1, such as a foldable support rod, a threaded adjustable support rod, a detachable support rod, etc. The first adjusting mechanism 2 in the embodiment of the utility model adopts a threaded rotationally adjustable support rod assembly. Specifically, the first adjusting mechanism 2 includes an externally threaded column 21 and an internally threaded barrel 22. One end of the externally threaded column 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 1, and the other end is threadedly connected to the internally threaded barrel 22. By rotating the internally threaded barrel 22, the connection length between it and the externally threaded column 21 is adjusted, so that the support plate 1 can be adjusted to a suitable horizontal height as needed.

[0023] The width of the extension plate 3 in the embodiment of the utility model is smaller than the width of the support plate 1. When the extension plate 3 is stored under the support plate 1, the first adjustment mechanism 2 is avoided. When the extension plate 3 is not needed, the extension plate 3 can be rotated to the bottom of the support plate 1 through the hinge 4. According to the different horizontal heights of the support plate 1 when in use, the first adjustment mechanism 2 needs to be avoided when the extension plate 3 is in the stored state. Therefore, the width of the extension plate 3 is set to be smaller than the width of the support plate 1, and the first adjustment mechanism 2 is arranged on the four corners of the support plate 1, so that the extension plate 3 can avoid the first adjustment mechanism 2 to prevent the storage of the extension plate 3 from affecting the normal use of the first adjustment mechanism 2.

[0024] In order to further adjust the stability of the extension plate 3 in the storage state, the number of the second adjustment mechanism 5 on the extension plate 3 is two, and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the extension plate 3. A magnet 53 is fixed to the end of the second adjustment mechanism 5, and an iron sheet (not shown in the figure) is fixed to the bottom surface of the support plate 1. When the extension plate 3 is folded and stored under the support plate 1, the magnet 53 is adsorbed on the iron sheet, so that the extension plate 3 is relatively stably fixed and stored under the support plate 1 through the second adjustment mechanism 5.

[0025] The second adjustment mechanism 5 in the embodiment of the utility model has the same structural principle as the first adjustment mechanism 2. The second adjustment mechanism 5 includes an external thread column 51 and an internal thread tube 52. One end of the external thread column 51 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the support plate 1, and the other end is threadedly connected to the internal thread tube 52. The magnet 53 is fixedly arranged at one end of the internal thread 51 away from the external thread 52.

[0026] The soft cushion 11 in the embodiment of the utility model comprises a sponge liner (not shown in the figure) and a breathable mesh 111 wrapping the sponge liner, and straps for fixing the patient's forearm on the soft cushion 11 are provided on both sides of the breathable mesh. The sponge liner is rectangular as a whole, and the middle part of the soft cushion 11 is provided with sunken arc grooves 112 extending at both ends along the length direction, that is, a groove body with an arc-shaped edge is provided on the sponge liner, and the breathable mesh 111 is wrapped on the sponge liner to form an arc groove 112 above the soft cushion 11. When in use, the patient's forearm is placed on the soft cushion 11, and the arc groove 112 on the sponge liner automatically guides the patient's forearm to the middle part of the soft cushion 11, so that it is easy to position the forearm to be placed, and during use, the patient's forearm is fixed on the soft cushion 11 in an embedded manner, so as to avoid the patient's arm slipping due to accidental movement when moving the body slightly, causing stretching of the surgical site and affecting the recovery of the affected area.

[0027] Since rehabilitation pillows used in hospital environments are usually reused as public medical devices, it is very necessary to clean and disinfect them regularly. The breathable mesh 111 in the embodiment of the utility model is detachably installed on the sponge liner. By providing a detachable breathable mesh 111, it is only necessary to remove the breathable mesh 111 for cleaning and disinfection, and replace the sponge liner with a clean new breathable mesh 111 for continued use, thereby avoiding affecting the normal use of patients.
