Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical supplies, in particular to a bed combined device for preventing foot drop. Background Art
[0002] Patients with neurological injuries (such as stroke, spinal cord injury, etc.) cannot walk due to limb dysfunction. They need to keep their limbs in functional positions while bedridden to prevent and alleviate limb spasms or deformities and avoid complications, foot drop being one of them.
[0003] In the prior art, in order to prevent foot drop, a triangular pad or a footboard is generally used as a pad. However, due to the different heights of each person, some short patients cannot reach the footboard after stretching their lower limbs. In addition, patients with limb dysfunction will place an air mattress on the bed to prevent the occurrence of pressure sores. The heels of tall patients are easily embedded in the gap between the air mattress and the footboard, which makes it easier to cause foot drop. Moreover, even if the bed is flat, patients with limb movement disorders cannot maintain a neutral position (the sole of the foot is perpendicular to the calf) for a long time.
[0004] Currently, T-shoes can also be used to ensure that the lower limbs are placed in a neutral position when lying flat.
[0005] However, the use of T-shoes will make it impossible for patients to turn over and move, which will inevitably cause pressure sores in the pressure areas (coccyx, heels, etc.) (if the skin in the pressure area cannot be decompressed for 2 hours, the skin will become red, swollen and damaged). The occurrence of pressure sores will increase the financial burden and physical pain of patients. There are also some other devices to prevent foot drop, but their effects are also limited.

[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment discloses a combined device for preventing foot drop on a bed, including a bed gap pad 100 and a foot drop prevention shoe 200. In clinical practice, patients who are bedridden for a long time usually need to lay an air mattress on the bed to prevent pressure sores. However, the length of the air mattress often does not match the length of the bed. When the head end of the air mattress is against the headboard of the bed, there will be a gap between its tail end and the footboard of the bed. The existence of this gap may increase the probability of foot drop in patients.
[0030] In this embodiment, the bed gap pad 100 is placed in the gap between the air mattress and the footboard, and a first adhesive portion 110 is provided on the bed gap pad 100; a second adhesive portion is provided at the bottom of the foot drop prevention shoe 200. When the patient is lying in bed, the foot drop prevention shoe 200 can be worn so that the second adhesive portion is attached to the first adhesive portion 110 of the bed gap pad 100, thereby allowing the patient's foot to maintain a neutral position for a long time.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the bed gap pad 100 includes an inserting portion and a functional portion, the inserting portion is used to be inserted into the gap between the air mattress and the footboard, the functional portion is higher than the upper surface of the air mattress, and the first adhesive portion 110 is arranged on the functional portion.
[0032] Specifically, the cross-section of the bed gap pad 100 is an inverted "L" shape, with the insertion portion located at the bottom thereof. The insertion portion is narrow in width and is used to be inserted into the gap between the air mattress and the footboard of the bed. The functional portion is wider in width, and the first adhesive portion 110 is arranged on the side of the functional portion facing the head of the bed to facilitate contact between the patient's feet and the functional portion.
[0033] Optionally, the first adhesive portion 110 is a continuous strip structure; the second adhesive portion is arranged in the middle position of the bottom of the foot drop prevention shoe 200.
[0034] In this embodiment, the upper contour of the first adhesive portion 110 is arc-shaped, so that no matter the patient is in a supine or side-lying position, the second adhesive portion at the bottom of the foot drop prevention shoe 200 can always be adhesively connected to the first adhesive portion 110. Specifically, when the patient changes from a supine position to a side-lying position, the movement of the patient's foot is that the sole of the foot is attached to the front side of the bed gap pad 100 (the plane where the first adhesive portion 110 is located) and rotates at a certain angle.
[0035] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, the foot drop prevention shoe 200 includes a sole 210, a heel positioning sleeve 220 installed on the sole 210, and a locking unit. The second adhesive portion is arranged at the bottom of the sole 210. The heel positioning sleeve 220 is fixedly connected to the sole 210, and an observation hole 230 is arranged at the connection between the heel positioning sleeve 220 and the sole 210, which is used to expose the skin at the patient's heel, thereby preventing the patient's heel from being compressed and facilitating the nurse to observe the compression of the patient's heel skin. For patients who have already developed pressure sores and use dressings to prevent pressure sores, the observation hole is also convenient for observing the dressings. The locking unit is used to fix the foot drop prevention shoe 200 to the patient's foot, so that the patient can wear the foot drop prevention shoe 200.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking unit includes a first buckle 230 and a second buckle 240. The first buckle 230 is installed at the middle position of the sole 210 to fix the patient's foot; the second buckle 240 is installed on the heel positioning sleeve 220 to fix the patient's ankle. The first buckle 230 and the second buckle 240 are opened or closed to take off or put on the anti-foot drop shoe 200.
[0037] In this embodiment, the first buckle 230 and the second buckle 240 are both connected by a plug-in buckle. Specifically, the first buckle 230 includes two separate sections, one end of the first section is fixed to one side of the sole 210, and one end of the second section is fixed to the other side of the sole 210. The other end of the first section is a plug post, and the other end of the second section is a slot. When the patient wears the foot drop prevention shoe 200, he only needs to insert the plug post into the slot to complete the fixation of the first buckle 230. The structure of the second buckle 240 is the same as that of the first buckle 230.
[0038] Optionally, the inner surfaces (the side in contact with the patient's skin) of the first buckle 230 and the second buckle 240 are both provided with soft materials. The soft material can be made of cotton cloth. Since the first buckle 230 and the second buckle 240 contact the patient at the dorsum of the foot and the ankle respectively, the foot can be prevented from deviating to both sides, ensuring the neutral position of the patient's foot.
[0039] Optionally, the material of the sole 210 is hard foam with moderate hardness and a certain supporting strength, so as to prevent it from being too soft to provide support and not too hard to cause wear on the patient's skin; it is light in weight and easy to use, and also avoids being too heavy to cause tension in the foot muscles.
[0040] The use process of the combined device for preventing foot drop in the bed in this embodiment is as follows:
[0041] First, the first buckle 230 and the second buckle 240 of the foot drop prevention shoe 200 are opened, and the foot drop prevention shoe 200 is worn on the patient's foot;
[0042] Closing the first buckle 230 and the second buckle 240 to fix the foot drop prevention shoe 200 on the patient's foot;
[0043] The foot drop prevention shoe 200 is attached to the first adhesive portion 110 of the bed gap pad 100 through the second adhesive portion, so that the patient's foot is kept in a neutral position;
[0044] When the patient turns over (from supine position to lateral position or from lateral position to supine position), the nurse can separate the second adhesive portion of the foot drop prevention shoe 200 from the first adhesive portion 110, help the patient turn over, and then stick the second adhesive portion of the foot drop prevention shoe 200 on the first adhesive portion 110 of the bed pad 100. In this process, there is no need to take off the foot drop prevention shoe 200 from the patient's foot, which simplifies the operation process.
[0045] The combined device for preventing foot drop in the bed in this embodiment includes a bed gap pad 100 and a foot drop prevention shoe 200. The patient fixes the posture of the foot through the adhesive part of the foot drop prevention shoe 200 and the bed gap pad 100, so that the foot always maintains a neutral position, thereby preventing foot drop. In addition, for the problem that the length of the air bed does not match the bed in clinical practice, the bed gap pad 100 can be placed in the gap between the air bed and the foot board, thereby preventing the air bed from moving, extending the length of the mattress, and preventing the patient's heel from being embedded in the gap between the air bed and the foot board, causing limb spasms, and ensuring the flatness and cleanliness of the bed, thereby ensuring the comfort of the patient during bed rest.
[0046] In addition, an observation hole 230 is provided at the connection between the heel positioning sleeve 220 and the sole 210, which prevents the patient's heel from being compressed and facilitates the nurse to observe the skin condition of the patient's heel; it also facilitates the observation of the dressing for patients who have already developed pressure sores or use dressings to prevent pressure sores.
[0047] In addition, the foot drop prevention shoe 200 is independently detachable, which is convenient for cleaning when dirty, and the shoe and the bed gap pad 100 can be freely bonded to facilitate the patient to turn over and ensure the support of the patient's sole when lying flat or turning over to the side position.
[0048] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
