Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a rehabilitation treatment tool, in particular to a soft tissue release treatment tool for postoperative joint adhesion, sports injury and chronic pain. Background Art
[0002] Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) refers to an improved soft tissue treatment technique that uses ergonomically designed tools to assist in the treatment of soft tissue-related injuries or promote their healing. IASTM is an effective technique for treating soft tissue injuries that has emerged in recent years. IASTM can convert the small force applied by the physician to the local abnormal tissue into a large pressure and shear force that is transmitted to the deep damaged soft tissue, thereby effectively relieving the pain caused by chronic soft tissue injuries, improving joint movement, and improving muscle performance. Studies have shown that compared with manual therapy commonly used to treat soft tissue tendinopathy, IASTM produces positive treatment effects in a shorter time and has a more significant effect. In addition, IASTM instruments are handheld aids. Different IASTM instruments use different materials (such as stainless steel, plastic, etc.) and appearance designs to improve various types of musculoskeletal conditions. Physicians can choose appropriate IASTM tools, applied force, and the angle, direction, and speed of the auxiliary device contacting the skin according to the location and degree of soft tissue damage. IASTM soft tissue release technology is not only less expensive, but also more efficient and safer than traditional soft tissue release, and is more acceptable to patients. However, IASTM is not perfect. For patients in the acute phase and early postoperative period, IASTM may cause swelling and exudation in the treatment area, or rupture of subcutaneous capillaries, etc., causing pain in the area, which generally resolves on its own after a few days. The therapist applying the treatment cannot know the exact amount of pressure he or she applies to the patient and the duration of the treatment, which may cause rupture of subcutaneous capillaries, bruises, or exceed the patient's tolerance range.
[0003] Currently, the products on the market are mainly one-piece stainless steel release tools, and a complete set of products with different shapes and different release blades are used to treat different parts of the body. However, the disadvantage is that these tools cannot provide data feedback to therapists and patients, it is difficult to quantify the intensity and time of each treatment, and there is a lack of standardized treatment systems and methods. Utility Model Content
[0004] Traditional soft tissue treatment methods have the problem that the operation cannot be quantified. To solve this problem, the utility model proposes a soft tissue release tool that combines a pressure sensor, a timer and a display screen, aiming to improve the treatment effect and avoid adverse reactions.
[0005] The utility model specifically adopts the following technical means:
[0006] Loosening blade and hand-held part, loosening blade and hand-held part, a grip hole is provided in the hand-held part, the loosening blade and the hand-held part are connected by a mortise and tenon magnetic structure; a pressure sensor is located between the hand-held part and the loosening blade, and is used to obtain the pressure value during the loosening operation; a display screen is embedded in the hand-held part, and is used to display the pressure value and time.
[0007] Furthermore, a receiving cavity is provided in the hand-held part, and the raised structure of the loosening blade surface is adapted to the receiving cavity. The contact surface between the loosening blade surface and the hand-held part is provided with a magnetic attraction point to form a detachable mortise and tenon magnetic attraction structure.
[0008] Furthermore, the handle hole is oval.
[0009] Furthermore, the loosening knife surface is a curved surface.
[0010] Furthermore, the contact surface between the loosening blade surface and the hand-held part is an arc-shaped surface.
[0011] Furthermore, the display screen is embedded in the surface of the handheld portion and is located in front of the grip hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the handheld portion is a cavity structure, the power supply is located in the cavity, and the power supply is located at the rear side of the handle hole.
[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The built-in pressure sensor can sense the pressure applied by the therapist, which helps to ensure that the pressure applied during treatment is just right, avoiding the problem of poor treatment effect caused by excessive pressure or insufficient pressure. Through the display screen embedded in the surface of the handpiece, the therapist can monitor the pressure value and time in real time, allowing the therapist to control the treatment process more accurately and ensure that the pressure applied and the duration meet the treatment requirements. The use of magnetic points to connect the handpiece and the release blade makes blade replacement quick and safe, simplifies maintenance and replacement operations, and improves the ease of use of the device. The arc design of the release blade and the handpiece is conducive to better adapting to the soft tissues in different parts and ensuring even pressure distribution, improving the treatment effect and comfort.

[0018] 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 in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, but not to limit the utility model.
[0019] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Structural schematic diagram, the utility model includes a loosening blade 2 and a handheld part 1, which are connected by a mortise and tenon magnetic structure. The handheld part 1 has an elliptical grip hole, and a battery power supply (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the cavity behind the grip hole. A detachable connection is adopted between the loosening blade 2 and the handheld part 1 to facilitate replacement and maintenance. A accommodating cavity is arranged inside the handheld part 1, and a protruding structure matching the accommodating cavity is arranged on the upper part of the loosening blade 2. The pressure sensor 3 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the pressure sensor 3 is located between the protruding structure of the loosening blade 2 and the handheld part 1.
