Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of muscle strength measurement, in particular to an auxiliary tool for measuring the muscle strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. Background Art

[0002] Ptosis is a common disease in cosmetic surgery and ophthalmology. It refers to the situation where the upper eyelid margin covers the corneal margin by more than 2mm when the eyes are open and looking straight after excluding the effect of the frontalis muscle. This disease not only affects the patient's appearance, but also has an adverse effect on the patient's function. The surgical method for upper face ptosis usually depends on the strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. The method for checking the strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle is as follows: ask the patient to close his eyes, and the examiner places the thumb on the brow arch, and then pushes the skin upward until the eyelashes move slightly. At this time, the thumb is pressed back hard on the frontal bone to block the frontalis muscle from lifting the face. Ask the patient to look down as much as possible, with the zero point of the millimeter ruler aligned with the edge of the upper face. Ask him to look up as much as possible, and measure the height that can be lifted from the upper face, which is the strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. Muscle strength ≤3mm is weak, 4-7mm is medium, and ≥8mm is good. However, this operation has great limitations:

[0003] 1. During the measurement, the doctor needs to press the eyebrow arch with one hand, which requires a high measurement time and patient cooperation;

[0004] 2. For patients with loose upper eyelid skin and who cover more of the eyelid margin when looking up, the doctor needs to push aside the sagging upper eyelid skin while pressing the eyebrow arch, which is somewhat difficult.

[0005] 3. Both eyes need to be measured one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an auxiliary tool for measuring the strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, so as to solve the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0008] In some embodiments, two limit members are symmetrically fixed to the end surface of the fixator away from the brow arch compression member, and the shape of the limit member is L-shaped. An installation space for a measuring steel ruler to pass through is formed between the two limit members. The limit member is elastic, and the size of the installation space is smaller than the size of the measuring steel ruler.

[0011] In some embodiments, a magic felt surface is disposed on the outer side of one of the headbands, and a magic hook surface is disposed on the inner side of the other headband away from the brow arch compression body, and the magic hook surface magic fits with the magic felt surface.

[0012] In some embodiments, the brow arch compression body, the fixator, the headband and the arc-shaped protrusion are all made of skin-friendly rubber material.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] The brow compression body is worn on the patient's head through a headband so that the two arc-shaped protrusions press against the two brow positions of the patient respectively to block the frontalis muscle's face-lifting effect. Then the lifting height of both eyes is measured using a measuring steel ruler clamped on the fixator. The doctor does not need to press, which reduces the patient's cooperation and makes the measurement simpler and faster. At the same time, both eyes can be measured synchronously, which improves the measurement efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the following.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an auxiliary tool for measuring the strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle comprises a brow arch compression body 1 and a fixator 2. The brow arch compression body 1 is arc-shaped, and both ends of the brow arch compression body 1 are connected to a headband 3. Two fixators 2 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the brow arch compression body 1, and the fixator 2 is used to install a measuring steel ruler. Two arc-shaped protrusions 4 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the brow arch compression piece 1. The two headbands 3 are connected together around the patient's head, so that the brow arch compression body 1 is worn on the patient's head, and the two arc-shaped protrusions 4 are pressed corresponding to the two brow arch positions of the patient respectively to block the lifting effect of the frontalis muscle on the face, and then the lifting height of both eyes is measured by the measuring steel ruler clamped on the fixator 2, without the doctor pressing, which reduces the patient's cooperation and makes the measurement simpler and faster. At the same time, both eyes can be measured synchronously, which improves the measurement efficiency.

[0022] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, two limit members 5 are symmetrically fixed to the end surface of the holder 2 away from the eyebrow compression member 1. The shape of the limit member 5 is L-shaped, and an installation space for the measuring steel ruler to pass through is formed between the two limit members 5. The limit member 5 is elastic, and the size of the installation space is smaller than the size of the measuring steel ruler. The limit member 5 is made of rubber material, and the measuring steel ruler is vertically inserted into the installation space. Since the size of the installation space is smaller than the size of the measuring steel ruler, the measuring steel ruler will squeeze the limit member 5 to deform, so that the limit member 5 squeezes the measuring steel ruler on the holder 2, and the friction force generated by the limit member 5 is used to stabilize the position of the measuring steel ruler, so that the two eyes are detected by the two measuring steel rulers, and the measuring steel ruler can be moved to adjust the position at the same time. To move the measuring steel ruler, it is only necessary to apply force to overcome the friction of the limit member 5, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the measuring steel ruler and can also lock the measuring steel ruler.

[0023] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the brow compression piece 1 is evenly provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 6 along its own arc direction, and an elastic protrusion 7 is fixed to the end face of the fixator 2 close to the brow compression piece 1. The elastic protrusion 7 is adapted in the mounting groove 6 through its own deformation interference fit. The elastic protrusion 7 is adapted in different mounting grooves 6, and the position of the fixator 2 can be adjusted to adapt to different head circumferences.

[0024] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the inner wall of the eyebrow compression piece 1 is evenly provided with a plurality of circular grooves 8 along its own arc direction, and an elastic protrusion is fixed to the end face of the arc-shaped protrusion 4 close to the eyebrow compression piece 1. The elastic protrusion is adapted in the circular groove 8 through its own deformation interference fit, and the elastic protrusion is adapted in different circular grooves 8, and the position of the elastic protrusion is adjusted to adapt to the patient's eyebrow arch position.

[0025] In some embodiments, a magic felt surface is provided on the outer side of one of the headbands 3, and a magic hook surface is provided on the inner side of the other headband 3 away from the brow compression body 1. The magic hook surface can be matched with the magic felt surface by magic, and can adapt to the size of the head circumference through Velcro, so that the brow compression body 1 can be stably worn on the patient's head.

[0026] Furthermore, the brow arch compression body 1, the fixator 2, the headband 3 and the arc-shaped protrusion 4 are all made of skin-friendly rubber material, making the patient more comfortable to wear.
