Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of postoperative recovery, in particular to an exoskeleton used for rehabilitation of patients with cervical spondylosis after surgery. Background Art

[0002] The exoskeleton for postoperative rehabilitation of patients with cervical spondylosis is a rehabilitation assistive device designed to provide additional support and stability to patients during the postoperative recovery phase to promote the rehabilitation and functional recovery of the cervical spine. It is usually made of strong materials such as metal or carbon fiber, which can fit the patient's body curve and provide additional protection and support for the cervical spine. It can reduce the force on the cervical spine and help patients maintain a correct posture, thereby reducing the burden on the cervical spine and promoting the healing and repair of the cervical spine.

[0003] However, most patients with cervical spondylosis need to wear a neck brace after surgery. The neck brace has poor air permeability. Wearing it for a long time will affect the elasticity, strength and physical health of the patient's neck muscles. In addition, most of the existing neck braces used for postoperative rehabilitation are not removable and cannot be used for isometric neck contraction exercises, which in turn affects the efficiency and effectiveness of postoperative recovery. Therefore, we need to design a rehabilitation exoskeleton that can be used without affecting the patient's normal life and allow them to perform neck activities. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims at the deficiencies of the prior art and provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] An exoskeleton for rehabilitation of patients with cervical spondylosis after surgery, comprising a shoulder support platform, a tightening belt is arranged below the shoulder support platform, a cervical support bar is arranged on the side of the shoulder support platform, a rotation groove is provided on one side of the shoulder support platform, the cervical support bar is installed in the rotation groove, and a lifting component is arranged in the rotation groove; the lifting component comprises an elastic component, an inner universal ball is arranged at the output end of the elastic component, an inner mounting groove is provided below the cervical support bar, and the inner universal ball is installed in the inner mounting groove; a rotating component is installed on the side of the shoulder support platform.

[0006] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the rotating assembly includes a cervical vertebra support bar, a fixed block is arranged on the side of the cervical vertebra support bar, a connecting rod is fixedly arranged on the fixed block, the connecting rod is connected to a side universal ball, a side mounting groove is opened on the side of the cervical vertebra support bar, and the side universal ball is installed in the side mounting groove.

[0007] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the tightening belt is arranged on both sides below the shoulder support platform, and one end of the tightening belt is detachable.

[0008] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the corners of the shoulder support platform and the cervical support strip are set to be rounded.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the lifting component includes an elastic component, the output end of the elastic component is provided with an inner universal ball, an inner mounting groove is opened under the cervical vertebra support bar, the inner universal ball is installed in the inner mounting groove, and a rotating component is installed on the side of the shoulder support platform, so that the device is small and does not cover the entire shoulder, and has good air permeability. The cervical vertebra support bar can support the patient's head and transfer the pressure of the head to the shoulder step. At the same time, the patient's head can be lifted up and down through the lifting component and the rotating component. The patient can perform restorative exercises after surgery through the elastic component, which will help speed up the patient's rehabilitation process, improve the rehabilitation effect, and provide a better rehabilitation experience for patients with cervical spondylosis after surgery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0017] See also Figure 1-5The utility model provides a technical solution: an exoskeleton for rehabilitation of patients with cervical spondylosis after surgery, comprising a shoulder support platform 1, a binding belt 2 is arranged below the shoulder support platform 1, a cervical support bar 4 is arranged on the side of the shoulder support platform 1, a rotation groove 5 is arranged on one side of the shoulder support platform 1, the cervical support bar 4 is installed in the rotation groove 5, and a lifting component is arranged in the rotation groove 5; the lifting component comprises an elastic component 6, an inner universal ball 10 is arranged at the output end of the elastic component 6, an inner mounting groove 12 is arranged below the cervical support bar 4, and the inner universal ball 10 is installed in the inner mounting groove 12; a rotating component is installed on the side of the shoulder support platform 1.

[0018] In this embodiment, the lifting component includes an elastic component 6, and the output end of the elastic component 6 is provided with an inner universal ball 10. An inner mounting groove 12 is opened under the cervical support bar 4, and the inner universal ball 10 is installed in the inner mounting groove 12. A rotating component is installed on the side of the shoulder support platform 1, so that the device is small and does not cover the entire shoulder. The cervical support bar 4 can support the patient's head and transfer the pressure of the head to the shoulder step. At the same time, the patient's head can be lifted up and down through the lifting component and the rotating component. The elastic component 6 allows the patient to perform restorative exercises after surgery, which will help to speed up the patient's recovery process, improve the rehabilitation effect, and provide a better rehabilitation experience for patients with cervical spondylosis after surgery.

[0019] Specifically, the dynamic component includes a cervical support bar 4, a fixed block 3 is arranged on the side of the cervical support bar 4, a connecting rod 7 is fixedly arranged on the fixed block 3, the connecting rod 7 is connected to the side universal ball 8, a side mounting groove 9 is opened on the side of the cervical support bar 4, and the side universal ball 8 is installed in the side mounting groove 9.

[0020] In this embodiment, a fixing block 3 is provided on the side of the cervical vertebra support bar 4, a connecting rod 7 is fixedly provided on the fixing block 3, a side universal ball 8 is connected to the connecting rod 7, a side mounting groove 9 is opened on the side of the cervical vertebra support bar 4, and the side universal ball 8 is installed in the side mounting groove 9, so that the cervical vertebra support bar 4 can rotate smoothly, so that the patient can be more stable when performing restorative exercises for the head.
