Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of braces, in particular to a bilateral wearable brace for the shoulder joint after stroke. Background Technique

[0002] A brace is a device placed outside the body, aiming to restrict a certain movement of the body, so as to assist the effect of surgical treatment, or directly used for external fixation in non-surgical treatment. At the same time, by adding pressure points on the basis of external fixation, it can become an orthopedic brace for the correction treatment of body deformities. In the early stage of stroke, the affected limb of the patient loses nerve innervation, the trunk posture is abnormal, the muscle strength of the shoulder girdle muscles decreases and the tension is unbalanced, causing the humeral head to slide downward in the glenoid cavity and gradually deviate from the normal joint cavity. In the late stage of stroke, spasm and contracture of the shoulder girdle-related muscles can also reduce its stability and aggravate shoulder joint subluxation. Therefore, there is a particular need for a bilateral wearable brace for the shoulder joint after stroke to maintain the correct posture of the shoulder joint and restore the normal anatomical structure of the shoulder joint.

[0003] However, during the process of using the existing braces, due to the decreased muscle strength of the affected upper limb after stroke, the fixation is unstable, and the affected limb may fall off or shift from the brace, thus affecting the effect and even potentially exacerbating the dislocation.

Specific embodiments

[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a bilateral wearable brace for the shoulder joint after stroke, including a lumbar pad 1, one side surface of the lumbar pad 1 is fixedly connected with a shoulder strap 2, an anti - detachment mechanism 3 is arranged above the lumbar pad 1, and an adjustment mechanism 4 is arranged on one side surface of the lumbar pad 1;

[0019] The anti - detachment mechanism 3 includes a support plate 301, a hand - supporting pad 302, a non - slip pad 303, a first connecting plate 304, a rotating column 305, a storage hole 306, a spring 307, a limiting column 308, a second connecting plate 309, a through - hole 310 and a limiting hole 311. A support plate 301 is installed above the lumbar cushion 1. The upper surface of the support plate 301 is fixedly connected with a hand - supporting pad 302. The upper surface of the hand - supporting pad 302 is fixedly connected with a non - slip pad 303. The lower surface of the support plate 301 is fixedly connected with a first connecting plate 304. A rotating column 305 penetrates through one side surface of the first connecting plate 304. A storage hole 306 is opened on the lower surface of the first connecting plate 304. The inner surface of the storage hole 306 is fixedly connected with a spring 307. One end surface of the spring 307 is fixedly connected with a limiting column 308. The outer surface of the rotating column 305 is rotatably connected with a second connecting plate 309. A through - hole 310 is opened on one side surface of the second connecting plate 309. A limiting hole 311 is opened on one side surface of the second connecting plate 309. Through the settings of the support plate 301, the hand - supporting pad 302, the non - slip pad 303, the first connecting plate 304, the rotating column 305, the storage hole 306, the spring 307, the limiting column 308, the second connecting plate 309, the through - hole 310 and the limiting hole 311, when the patient needs to use it, place the injured arms respectively in the hand - supporting pads 302 of the support plate 301 on the first connecting plate 304 and the second connecting plate 309. Then use the elastic band 401 to fix the arms. Then, by pressing the limiting column 308, it is temporarily stored in the storage hole 306. At this time, the spring 307 is compressed. When adjusted to the appropriate position, release the limiting column 308, and the spring 307 makes it reset and penetrates through the limiting hole 311 for fixation. During this process, the rotating column 305 rotates through the through - hole 310, so that the second connecting plate 309 achieves the rotating effect. The non - slip pad 303 prevents the arm from sliding in the hand - supporting pad 302, thus affecting the recovery.

[0020] Furthermore, the adjusting mechanism 4 includes an elastic band 401, a fixing block 402, a storage groove 403, an adhesive plate 404 and a magic tape 405. An elastic band 401 is installed on one side surface of the lumbar cushion 1. A fixing block 402 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the lumbar cushion 1. A storage groove 403 is opened on one side surface of the fixing block 402. An adhesive plate 404 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the elastic band 401. A magic tape 405 is fixedly connected to one end surface of the elastic band 401. Through the settings of the elastic band 401, the fixing block 402, the storage groove 403, the adhesive plate 404 and the magic tape 405, when the patient wears it, pass the elastic band 401 on one side of the lumbar cushion 1 through the storage groove 403 in the fixing block 402 on the other side. Then paste the magic tape 405 at one end of the elastic band 401 on the adhesive plate 404, thus completing the wearing.

[0021] Further, the outer surface size of the anti-slip pad 303 matches the inner surface size of the hand support pad 302, and the outer surface size of the rotating column 305 matches the inner surface size of the through hole 310. Through the setting of the anti-slip pad 303, the arm is prevented from sliding during the use by the patient.

[0022] Further, the limiting holes 311 are arranged at equal intervals on one side surface of the second connecting plate 309. The first connecting plate 304 and the second connecting plate 309 form a rotating structure. Through the setting of the limiting holes 311, the second connecting plate 309 can be adjusted horizontally.

[0023] Further, the elastic band 401 is adjusted by the fixing block 402, and the magic tape 405 is closely attached to the adhering plate 404. Through the setting of the elastic band 401, the waist circumference of different patients can be adapted, so as to adjust the tightness.

[0024] Working principle: First, when the patient needs to use it, place the affected arm in the hand support pad 302 of the support plate 301 on the first connecting plate 304 and the second connecting plate 309 respectively. Then use the elastic band 401 to fix the arm. Then press the limiting column 308 to temporarily store it in the storage hole 306. At this time, the spring 307 is compressed. When adjusted to the appropriate position, release the limiting column 308, and the spring 307 resets it and passes through the limiting hole 311 for fixation. During this process, the rotating column 305 rotates through the through hole 310, so that the second connecting plate 309 achieves the rotating effect. The anti-slip pad 303 prevents the arm from sliding in the hand support pad 302, thus affecting the recovery. When the patient wears it, pass the elastic band 401 on one side of the waist pad 1 through the storage groove 403 in the fixing block 402 on the other side. Then paste the magic tape 405 at one end of the elastic band 401 in the adhering plate 404, thus completing the wearing.

[0025] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
