Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation training equipment, in particular to a rehabilitation brace for joint release. Background Art

[0002] In the field of medical rehabilitation, especially in the treatment of patients with joint adhesions, traditional treatment methods often rely on the therapist's manual operation to perform passive joint movement in order to improve the range of joint movement and relieve stiffness. For example, in the treatment of elbow stiffness, the treatment process usually involves muscle release, stretching and direct manual loosening of the joint. However, this traditional method has obvious limitations: first, the control of the joint bending angle during the treatment process is not precise enough, making it difficult to achieve personalized and quantitative treatment for different patient conditions; second, the therapist needs to expend a lot of physical strength to support and control the patient's joints to complete the necessary range of motion, which is not only inefficient, but may also affect the quality of treatment due to the high intensity of physical labor; third, manual operation is difficult to maintain the joint at a specific treatment angle for a long time, and usually requires additional personnel to assist in measuring the angle, which increases labor costs.

[0003] In addition, existing rehabilitation assistive devices often focus on providing simple support or limited activity assistance, lacking intelligent designs that can both accurately adjust the joint activity angle and effectively fix and maintain this angle, which limits the continuity and effectiveness of treatment. Therefore, how to improve the accuracy and efficiency of treatment while ensuring the safety and comfort of patients and reducing the workload of therapists has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to make up for the above-mentioned deficiencies, the utility model provides a rehabilitation brace for joint release, which solves the problems of inaccurate limb angle control and high physical exertion of therapists in traditional treatment, provides patients with a continuous and stable treatment environment, and reduces the workload of therapists.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical scheme: a rehabilitation brace for joint release, comprising an upper limb support and a lower limb support that fit with a limb, connecting rods respectively fixed on the upper limb support and the lower limb support, a joint assembly that hinges the two connecting rods to each other, and an adjustment strap arranged on the limb support for fixing the limb, characterized in that: the upper limb support and the lower limb support are in a U-shaped structure that fits with the inner side of the limb; a thick rope buckle for limiting the bending angle of the limb is arranged at the upper end position near the upper limb support, a limiting rope matched with the thick rope buckle is arranged on the thick rope buckle, and the two ends of the limiting rope extending out are connected and fixed to the lower end position of the lower limb support; limiting holes for the limiting rope to pass through are respectively arranged at one end adjacent to the upper limb support and the lower limb support; an angle dial for measuring the bending angle of the limb is arranged on the outer side of the joint assembly.

[0006] Furthermore, the thick rope buckles are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper limb support; the limiting holes are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper limb support and the lower limb support.

[0007] Furthermore, the adjustment strap includes a nylon adhesive tape fixedly arranged on one side of the upper limb support and the lower limb support, and a buckle fixed on the other side of the upper limb support and the lower limb support.

[0008] Furthermore, ventilation holes are distributed on the upper limb support and the lower limb support.

[0009] Furthermore, the articulation mode of the joint assembly is toothed articulation.

[0010] Beneficial effects and features of the utility model:

[0011] Precise treatment, personalized rehabilitation: The brace uses the precise coordination of joint components and angle dials to achieve precise adjustment and display of limb bending angles, providing tailored treatment plans for patients with different types of joint adhesions. This targeted treatment method greatly improves the effectiveness of rehabilitation training and the patient's recovery process.

[0012] Physical energy saving and efficiency improvement: The ingenious design of the thick rope buckle and the limit rope means that the therapist no longer needs to spend a lot of physical energy on passive joint movement, which greatly reduces the therapist's workload. The joint angle can be set and maintained by simply adjusting the buckle, which improves the efficiency of the treatment operation and allows patients to receive treatment in a painless state.

[0013] Enhanced treatment effect: After treatment, the brace can be locked at a specific treatment angle, allowing the patient to maintain a posture within an acceptable range, which helps with muscle lengthening and memory formation, further enhancing the recovery effect after treatment and accelerating the rehabilitation process.

[0014] Double guarantee of safety and comfort: The U-shaped support structure fits the limbs closely, and the ventilation hole design ensures the comfort of wearing and reduces the skin problems that may be caused by long-term wearing. At the same time, the stability and self-locking function of the brace ensure the safety during the treatment process and avoid secondary injuries caused by improper operation.

[0015] Convenient operation and easy to use: The whole brace is simple in design, and the adjustment operation is intuitive and easy to understand. It is not only convenient for therapists to get started quickly, but also convenient for patients to carry out daily rehabilitation training under guidance, which improves the feasibility and popularity of treatment.

[0021] The following combination Figure 1-3 , the contents of the utility model are described in detail through specific embodiments. Example

[0022] The rehabilitation brace comprises an upper limb support 1 and a lower limb support 2 that fit the limbs, a connecting rod 3 fixed to the upper limb support and the lower limb support respectively, a joint assembly that hinges the two connecting rods to each other, and an adjustment strap 4 that is arranged on the limb support for fixing the limbs, wherein: the upper limb support 1 and the lower limb support 2 are made of light and strong materials to ensure the load-bearing while reducing the pressure on the patient. The two parts are hingedly connected by the connecting rod to form a joint simulation structure that can move freely. The upper limb support and the lower limb support are in a U-shaped structure that fits the inner side of the limb, ensuring the comfort and fit of the use. A thick rope buckle 5 for limiting the limb bending angle is provided near the upper end of the upper limb support, and a limiting rope 6 is provided on the thick rope buckle to match it. The two ends of the limiting rope are connected and fixed to the lower end of the lower limb support; a limiting hole 7 for the limiting rope to pass through is provided near the end adjacent to the upper limb support and the lower limb support, and the two ends of the limiting rope pass through the limiting holes of the upper limb support and the lower limb support in turn and are fixed to the lower end of the lower limb support to ensure smooth and accurate movements. An angle dial 8 for measuring the limb bending angle is provided on the outside of the joint assembly. The angle dial can intuitively display the current limb bending angle, which is convenient for therapists or patients to read directly and realize quantitative control of the treatment angle.

[0023] In order to increase stability, two thick rope buckles are provided, that is, the thick rope buckles are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper limb support; the limiting holes are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper limb support and the lower limb support.

[0024] In order to flexibly adjust to accommodate limbs of different sizes and shapes and ensure a secure fit during use, the adjustment strap includes a nylon adhesive tape fixedly arranged on one side of the upper limb support and the lower limb support and a buckle fixed on the other side of the upper limb support and the lower limb support.

[0025] In order to increase the comfort when wearing and reduce skin discomfort caused by long-term use, ventilation holes are distributed on the upper limb support and the lower limb support.

[0026] In order to ensure smooth rotation and accurate positioning, the articulation method of the joint assembly adopts gear-engaging articulation.

[0027] The use process of this utility model:

[0028] Preparation stage: The patient sits or lies in a suitable position, and the therapist places the rehabilitation brace on the patient's limbs, ensuring that the upper limb support fits tightly to the forearm and the lower limb support fits tightly to the upper arm. The straps (nylon tape and buckle) are adjusted to the appropriate tightness according to the patient's limb size to ensure that the brace is stable and does not cause a sense of oppression.

[0029] Angle setting: According to the treatment plan, the therapist rotates the thick rope buckle at the upper end of the upper limb support, guides the movement of the lower limb support by changing the tightness of the limit rope, and gradually adjusts the bending angle between the forearm and the upper arm. At the same time, with the help of the angle dial on the outside of the joint component, the required treatment angle is accurately read and set to ensure that the angle control of each treatment can be accurately in place.

[0030] Angle locking and consolidation: When the preset angle is reached, the therapist adjusts the thick rope buckle on the other side to tighten the limit rope on that side. This not only enhances the stability of the joint angle, but also allows the joint to maintain the set treatment angle for a long time without the therapist's continuous pressure. The patient can gradually adapt to and maintain this angle in a painless state, which helps to increase muscle length and form muscle memory.

[0031] Treatment duration and observation: During the treatment, the patient maintains this angle for 5 to 10 minutes within the tolerable range to promote muscle relaxation and increase the range of joint movement. The therapist can observe the patient's response during this period and adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner.

[0032] End and evaluation: After the treatment time is over, the brace is slowly loosened to allow the patient's limbs to return to their natural state. The therapist will re-evaluate the improvement of the joint range of motion, record the treatment effect, and plan the next stage of rehabilitation plan accordingly.

[0033] In summary, this embodiment achieves efficient and accurate treatment of patients with joint adhesions through the above structural design. It not only solves the problems of inaccurate angle control and high physical exertion in traditional treatment, but also provides patients with a continuous and stable treatment environment through the function of automatically locking the joint angle, significantly improving the treatment efficiency and patient experience, while reducing the workload of therapists.
