Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ankle braces, in particular to an ankle fracture post-operative rehabilitation brace. Background Art

[0002] During the postoperative rehabilitation process of ankle fractures, the use of rehabilitation braces is of great significance in promoting the recovery of patients' foot function.

[0003] The size of the sole of the foot in the existing rehabilitation brace is usually fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the width of the patient's foot. This design leads to two problems: first, for patients with wider soles, the brace may not be able to be worn and fixed; second, for patients with narrower soles, the brace may be too wide and bulky, and the wearing comfort and stability are poor, thus affecting the rehabilitation effect. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention is further described below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] Example

[0020] The present embodiment provides a postoperative rehabilitation brace for ankle fractures, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, it includes two foot soles 1 distributed front and back, the left sides of the two foot soles 1 are hinged to each other, the left sides of the two foot soles 1 are independently provided with the same top plate 11, and the bottom of the top plate 11 is provided with a bottom plate 13 independent of it, and two hinged rings 12 distributed up and down and freely rotating are independently provided between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13, and the same hinged column 14 is independently installed in the two hinged rings 12, and the upper and lower ends of the hinged column 14 are respectively fixed at the center of the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13; the two hinged rings 12 are respectively fixed at the left ends of the two foot soles 1. When the two hinged rings 12 rotate, the right ends of the two foot soles 1 swing. For the convenience of installation, the top plate 11 or the bottom plate 13 is detachably connected to one end of the hinged column 14, such as a threaded blind hole is provided in the center of the top plate 11, and an internal thread that is threadedly matched with the threaded blind hole is provided at the upper end of the hinged column 14. The tops and bottoms of the two foot soles 1 are arranged flush, and the two foot soles 1 can be stepped on the ground stably.

[0021] The right side of the sole plate 1 is fixed with a fixing splint 3 for fixing to the human calf, and the inner side of the fixing splint 3 is an arc surface, which is convenient for fitting with the patient's calf. At the same time, since the width of the through groove of the human heel is narrower than the width of the human calf, during production, the spacing between the lower ends of the two fixing splints 3 is smaller than the spacing between the upper ends thereof, that is, the upper end of the fixing splint 3 has an outwardly expanding arc.

[0022] The fixed splint 3 is fixed with a leg support 8, and the lower end of the leg support 8 is fixed with a drag pad 4, which is made of a flexible material. When in use, the drag pad 4 blocks the patient's ankle to increase its comfort. The fixed splint 3 is connected to the leg support 8 through a fixed sleeve 5; the fixed sleeve 5 is fixed to the outer plate of the leg support 8 and is also sleeved on the fixed splint 3. The inner wall of the leg support 8 is arc-shaped and made of a flexible material. It also has a certain structural strength and can wrap around the patient's calf. During production, the fixed splint 3 can be made of a material with a certain toughness, which can better fit the patient's calf by producing a certain deformation.

[0023] Several first tightening belts 7 are fixed on the outer side walls on the left and right sides of the leg support 8 located on the front side, and are distributed in sequence from bottom to top. Corresponding to each first tightening belt 7, a first connecting ring 6 is connected to the outer side wall of the leg support 8 located on the rear side, and the movable end of the first tightening belt 7 is connected to the first connecting ring 6. This section as a whole constitutes a first connecting component that connects the left and right sides of the two leg supports 8 together. When in use, the movable end of the first tightening belt 7 passes through the first connecting ring 6 and then turns back and is attached to the outer surface of the first tightening belt 7 through Velcro. In addition, it can also be connected through a snap-on buckle. After the two leg supports 8 are bound to the patient's calves through the first tightening belt 7 and the first connecting ring 6, the distance between the fixed splints 3 is also fixed, and the soles 1 can no longer move.

[0024] The sole plate 1 is connected with a foot strap 2 for binding to the human foot. The foot strap 2 is made of the same material as the leg support 8. The main function of the foot strap 2 is to bind the patient's foot to the sole plate 1. When the sole plate 1 is fixed to the patient's foot and the fixed splint 3 is fixed to the patient's calf, the patient's calf cannot move. When binding, the fixed splint 3 is located on the left and right sides of the patient's calf.

[0025] Foot straps 2 are fixed to the outer side walls of the soles 1, and a second tightening belt 9 is connected to the outer side wall of one of the foot straps 2, and a second connecting ring 10 for connecting the second tightening belt 9 is connected to the outer side wall of the other foot strap 2. This section as a whole constitutes a second connecting component for connecting and binding the two foot straps 2 to the patient's feet. When in use, the patient steps on the soles 1, the foot straps 2 wrap the feet, and the movable end of the second tightening belt 9 passes through the second connecting ring 10, and is folded back and attached by Velcro, or locked by a snap-on buckle.

[0026] When in use, since there is a gap between the two soles 1, when the patient is barefoot, a foot pad can be placed on the sole of the foot, and the foot pad includes a base plate with a relatively hard material, and a silicone layer or a sponge layer is provided on the upper surface of the base plate to increase comfort. Since the width of the sole plate 1 can be adjusted, the patient can wear it when wearing shoes, so there is no need for an insole.

[0027] During actual use: according to the different sizes of the patients' feet, the two soles 1 are swung to adjust their overall usage width so that the right ends are adapted to the width of the patients' soles, and the left ends of the two soles 1 are fixed widths, which are the minimum of the foot size, that is, smaller than the width of all adult foot sizes. The width of the right end of the sole 1 is adjusted mainly to adapt to the width of the patient's heel. After the width of the sole 1 is adjusted, the leg support 8 is tied to the patient's calf, and the foot drag 2 is tied to the patient's foot. In this way, the width of the sole 1 is fixed at this size and cannot continue to move, so that the width of the sole 1 is adapted to the width of the patient's sole, which plays a better fixing role.
