[0027] Example

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 , an angle-adjustable rehabilitation brace designed to facilitate support and angle adjustment of the upper arm and forearm that are injured or require rehabilitation.

[0029] A rehabilitation brace with adjustable angle mainly consists of a No. 1 support plate 1 and a No. 2 support plate 4. The No. 1 support plate 1 is used to support the upper arm, and a No. 2 support plate 4 is rotatably mounted thereon. The No. 2 support plate 4 is used to support the forearm. In order to enhance the wearing comfort, a plurality of through holes 5 for ventilation are provided on the No. 1 support plate 1 and the No. 2 support plate 4 to ensure air circulation and reduce the feeling of stuffiness.

[0030] At the top and bottom of the No. 1 support plate 1, we set two mounting strips 2. The two mounting strips 2 are rotatably mounted with the same mounting shaft 3 on one side close to each other. The outer side of the mounting shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the No. 2 support plate 4, so that the No. 2 support plate 4 can rotate relative to the No. 1 support plate 1, thereby realizing angle adjustment.

[0031] In order to fix the angle between the second support plate 4 and the first support plate 1, we rotatably install a rotating plate 8 on the top of the second support plate 4, and a pin shaft 10 is movably installed on the top of the rotating plate 8. At the top of the mounting strip 2 located above, we have opened a plurality of pin holes 13 arranged horizontally. These pin holes 13 and the pin shafts 10 can be detached from each other. When the angle needs to be fixed, just insert the pin shafts 10 into the corresponding pin holes 13.

[0032] In order to facilitate the insertion and disengagement of the pin 10, a strip hole 9 is opened on the top of the rotating plate 8 for the pin 10 to move. At the same time, a rotating shaft 11 is rotatably installed on the top of the rotating plate 8, and a limit plate 12 is fixed on the top of the rotating shaft 11. When the pin 10 needs to be fixed, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating shaft 11 so that the bottom of the limit plate 12 fits tightly with the top of the pin 10, thereby preventing the pin 10 from accidentally disengaging from the pin hole 13.

[0033] In order to ensure that the brace can be stably fixed on the patient's arm, we have fixed straps 6 at the bottom of the No. 1 support plate 1 and the No. 2 support plate 4, and the ends of the two straps 6 are fixed with female Velcro 7, and at the top of the No. 1 support plate 1 and the No. 2 support plate 4, we have fixed female Velcro 7 that can be detachably bonded to the sub-Velcro. By adjusting the tightness of the straps 6 and bonding the Velcro, the brace can be tightly fixed to the arm.

[0034] In order to further improve the wearing comfort of patients and protect the injured parts, we have fixed protective pads on the inner walls of the No. 1 support plate 1 and the No. 2 support plate 4. These protective pads are made of soft and breathable materials, which can not only reduce the pressure of the brace on the skin, but also prevent friction between the skin and the brace.

[0035] The present application can be used in the field of orthopedics, and can also be applied to other fields of the present application.

[0036] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the pin 10, the limiting plate 12 and the female Velcro 7 are commonplace, and are conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art may make any optional selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
