Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical guidance equipment, in particular to an upper limb pillow. Background Art

[0002] Cerebrovascular accident is a common clinical emergency and critical disease with rapid progression, high disability rate and poor prognosis. After a cerebrovascular accident, patients often suffer from paralysis and contracture of their limbs. The paralyzed limbs lack muscle contraction movements, blood circulation is weakened, and limb swelling is prone to occur, especially in the upper limbs. Among them, the upper limb pad with application number "CN201920930132.2" and the upper limb pad described in the utility model include a pillow body, the pillow body includes at least one inclined surface and at least one supporting portion, the supporting portion is arranged below the inclined surface for supporting the inclined surface; the pillow body is provided with a groove for placing the upper limb, and the shape of the groove is adapted to the shape of the upper limb. In this way, when the patient's arm is placed on the inclined plane, since the patient's hand is higher than the base of the arm, the affected limb can be raised to promote blood circulation, effectively reduce limb edema, and reduce the occurrence of thrombosis; in addition, the setting of the groove can be beneficial to the placement of the patient's limbs, making it difficult for the limbs to slip off, but the upper limb pad still needs some improvement during use: when the arm is placed on the inclined plane, it can only maintain a fixed angle posture and cannot be adjusted. Patients often change their lying position or get up in bed, making it impossible to adjust the arm position according to the patient's posture, thereby failing to meet the patient's use needs.
