Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical rehabilitation equipment, and in particular relates to a lower limb lifting auxiliary device. Background Art

[0002] The straight leg raising exercise is an important and critical exercise for orthopedic patients during their recovery period. It can effectively speed up the patient's recovery and ensure a good surgical outcome. The main function of the straight leg raising exercise is to promote blood circulation in bedridden patients, thereby reducing inflammation, reducing edema, and avoiding nerve root adhesions. It also plays a decisive role in activating quadriceps contraction, strengthening quadriceps strength, and maintaining knee extension and stability. Early leg raising training can also prevent lower limb muscle atrophy and reduce the incidence of venous thrombosis.

[0003] The traditional method is usually assisted by specialized medical staff, which takes up a lot of time and energy of medical staff. Moreover, when there are many patients, the medical staff are simply too busy to handle it. This results in some patients not being able to perform straight leg raising rehabilitation training in a timely and effective manner or the training time and frequency are insufficient, which reduces the patient's recovery speed and even makes the recovery effect worse.

[0004] According to the existing public technology, the existing simple auxiliary device is a bracket installed on the hospital bed. By pulling the rope, the affected lower limb is lifted to a certain height, which is also conducive to reducing swelling. However, the simple auxiliary device lacks the necessary guarantee for the patient's exercise. When the patient pulls the rope in his hand, if the rope slips out of his hand due to external or self factors, it will cause secondary damage to the leg. In addition, when the patient is exercising, the leg will gradually approach the body. The bracket is fixed, so the body will tend to slide, which is not comfortable enough. Moreover, medical staff do not need to lift the leg to a suspended position for observation and dressing change. At this time, the patient needs to keep pulling the rope, or the medical staff needs to lift it manually, which takes a lot of effort and is not conducive to the subsequent rehabilitation process.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a lower limb lifting auxiliary device. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a lower limb lifting auxiliary device includes a bracket and a lifting mechanism, characterized in that: the lifting mechanism includes a fixed box 35, a sliding base 34, a pulley group and a leg fixing mechanism 31; a fixed box 35 is arranged in the middle of the top of the bracket, a sliding groove is arranged inside the fixed box 35, a sliding base 34 is arranged in the sliding groove, a pulley group is arranged below the sliding base 34, the pulley group includes a fixed pulley 33 and a movable pulley 32, a leg fixing mechanism 31 is arranged below the movable pulley 32, and a rope fixing mechanism 41 is arranged in front of the fixed box 35.

[0029] The bracket includes a first telescopic rod 21, a second telescopic rod 22, a third telescopic rod 23 and a fourth telescopic rod 24, wherein a first fixed block 11 and a second fixed block 12 are respectively arranged below the first telescopic rod 21 and the fourth telescopic rod 24, wherein the first telescopic rod 21 is connected to the second telescopic rod 22 through a right angle joint, wherein the third telescopic rod 23 is connected to the fourth telescopic rod 24 through a right angle joint, wherein the first telescopic rod 21 is provided with a first fixed knob 25, wherein the second telescopic rod 22 is provided with a second fixed knob 26, wherein the third telescopic rod 23 is provided with a third fixed knob 27, and wherein the fourth telescopic rod 24 is provided with a fourth fixed knob 28. The first fixed block 11 and the second fixed block 12 can be clamped on both sides of the hospital bed, or can be made into a base and stand on the ground. At the same time, the length of the second telescopic rod 22 and the third telescopic rod 23 can be adjusted to control the distance between them, and different hospital bed lengths can be applied. The fixed knob is to prevent the telescopic rod from moving after being adjusted to a fixed position. In addition, the bracket can also be used without a telescopic rod, and can use a specific size support rod or integral casting according to the specific hospital bed size.

[0030] The rope fixing mechanism 41 includes a box, a crank 51, a special-shaped ratchet mechanism 52, and a slider 53. The box is provided with a transmission rope through hole 54, a brake rope through hole 55, and a slide groove, in which a spring is provided, and the slider is slidably installed in the slide groove, and a small hole is provided on the crank. Pulling the brake rope 62 drives the crank 51, so that the special-shaped ratchet mechanism 52 turns to a larger tooth shape and pushes the slider 53, so that the transmission rope 61 can be clamped. Pulling the brake rope 62 again drives the crank 51, so that the special-shaped ratchet mechanism 52 turns to a smaller tooth shape, and the spring pushes the slider 53, so that the transmission rope 61 can be loosened.

[0031] The ropes are provided with a transmission rope 61, a brake rope 62 and a safety rope 63; one end of the transmission rope 61 is connected to the fixed pulley 33, and the other end is provided with a first handle 36; one end of the brake rope 62 is connected to the small hole on the crank 51, and the other end is provided with a second handle 42; the safety rope 63 is provided between the fixed pulley 33 and the movable pulley 32. When the safety rope 63 is fully straightened, the patient's lower limbs are slightly away from the bed sheet, which can effectively prevent the secondary injury of the lower limbs caused by the breakage of the transmission rope 61 or the patient's physical exhaustion and the detachment of the transmission rope. The first handle 36 is provided with a protrusion to prevent hand slippage.

[0032] The sliding base 34 is provided with a rolling bearing. The sliding base 34 needs to be slidably installed in the slide groove of the fixed box 35. The rolling bearing is provided on the top to allow the sliding base 34 to have more rotational freedom so as to adapt to different body postures during the lower limb lifting process. At the same time, the sliding of the sliding base 34 can solve the problem that the lower limbs of the patient are getting closer and closer to the upper limbs during the lower limb lifting process.

[0033] The leg fixing mechanism 31 comprises a fixed base plate, a fixed binding strap and a protective sleeve located above the fixed base plate ring. The protective sleeve above the fixed base plate ring can be made of sponge or air bag to softly wrap the patient's legs and make them feel comfortable.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Working principle: When in use, the medical staff first adjusts the length of the second telescopic rod 22 and the third telescopic rod 23 to control the distance between the first fixed block 11 and the second fixed block 12, and installs them on the required bed. The patient lies on the bed, and the medical staff or family members help the patient to put the leg to be exercised on the sheath of the leg fixing mechanism 31 and fix it with a fixing strap. The first handle 36 is placed in the patient's hand, and the second handle is placed next to the other hand. The patient can drag the patient's lower limbs to lift and perform rehabilitation exercises by dragging the first handle 36. Compared with the device using only one fixed pulley, the pulley group can save half of the patient's hand strength. When the leg is lifted, the sliding base 34 will slide toward the patient's body to compensate for the position of the leg getting closer and closer to the human body. When falling, the sliding base 34 will slide away from the patient's body. When the lower limb needs to be suspended in the air during the process, the second handle 42 is dragged with the other hand to lock the transmission rope 61, and the first handle 36 will no longer work. At this time, the patient can no longer hold the first handle 36 tightly in his hand. At this time, the medical staff can observe the patient's body part and change the dressing, etc. When the hovering needs to be ended, the patient needs to hold the first handle 36 tightly first, and then pull the second handle 42, at which time the transmission rope 61 can move normally, and then the first handle 36 can be used for control.
