Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to a foot drop training device. Background Art

[0002] During trauma, common peroneal nerve injury is the most common peripheral nerve injury in the lower limbs, and dorsiflexion dysfunction caused by tibialis anterior muscle dysfunction of the common peroneal nerve branch is its more serious clinical manifestation, which can lead to foot drop.

[0003] In order to prevent patients from experiencing foot drop, a corrector is needed to help correct it. However, most existing ankle correctors fix the patient's foot and leg at right angles, which will cause the patient's ankle flexibility to decrease. Although the use of a multi-angle corrector solves the problem of patients' foot flexibility, the cost of using the equipment is high, which imposes a certain economic burden on patients. The use of an one-piece corrector will cause pressure on the patient's foot and leg wounds, and after the above-mentioned corrector fixes the patient's foot, the patient will be unable to perform foot drop recovery training. In view of this, the present utility model is specially proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a foot drop training device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The utility model is now described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 6 , the utility model provides a technical solution: a foot drop training device, comprising an ankle fixing component, a resistance training component and a leg fixing component, wherein a plurality of resistance training components can be arranged between the ankle fixing component and the leg fixing component;

[0028] The ankle fixation assembly comprises an L-shaped fitting piece 1 in contact with the patient's ankle, a fitting side piece 2, a first Velcro strap 3, a hard sole 4 and a lower positioning strip 5, the front side of the vertical end and the upper side of the horizontal end of the L-shaped fitting piece 1 are symmetrically fixed with fitting side pieces 2 in contact with the patient's skin, connecting rings 6 are installed on the outer sides of the two fitting side pieces 2 through extension belts, and the first Velcro strap 3 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting ring 6 on one side, a Velcro fur surface 8 fitted with a Velcro hook surface 7 is fixed to the bottom of the L-shaped fitting piece 1, and the Velcro hook surface 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the hard sole 4, and a lower positioning strip 5 is sewn on the front surface of the horizontal end of the L-shaped fitting piece 1. Considering that the corrector currently used cannot adapt to the patient's rehabilitation process, that is, Existing correctors will fix the patient's ankle at 90 degrees, which will cause the patient to be unable to move when performing ankle resistance training. The utility model has a split design of ankle fixing components and leg fixing components. When the resistance training components are connected, ankle training can be performed while wearing the device, and the number of resistance training components used between the ankle fixing components and the leg fixing components can be increased according to training needs. When not training, the patient's foot can also be tightened by the resistance training component to prevent the patient from experiencing foot drop. Therefore, it is more practical, and when the device is used for correction, it is more flexible than existing integrated ankle correctors and less expensive than multi-angle correctors.

[0029] Among them, the leg fixing component includes a fitting strip 9, an inner lining cloth 10, a loop 11, a second Velcro strap 12 and an upper positioning strip 13. The inner lining cloth 10 is fixedly installed on the contact surface of the fitting strip 9 with the patient's leg skin, loops 11 are fixed on both sides of the fitting strip 9, and the outside of one side of the loop 11 is fixed with a second Velcro strap 12, and the lower end of the fitting strip 9 is sewn and connected with an upper positioning strip 13. The design of the leg fixing component and the ankle fixing component being separated increases the flexibility of the device, and the device can meet the needs of correcting the patient's foot while adapting to the training plan, that is, the elastic band 14 of the resistance training component is used to increase the strength of the patient's ankle during movement, thereby helping the patient to restore ankle strength. In order to facilitate the user to wear the leg fixing component, the leg fixing component adopts the second Velcro strap 12 for wearing, which is convenient for the user to put on and take off the device. The presence of the inner lining cloth 10 increases the comfort between the patient's leg and the fitting strip 9.

[0030] Among them, the resistance training component includes an elastic band 14, a skin-friendly elastic sleeve 15 and a buckle 16. Both ends of the elastic band 14 are fixed with metal rings 17 and the buckle 16. The skin-friendly elastic sleeve 15 is provided on the outside of the elastic band 14, and the skin-friendly elastic sleeve 15 is used to separate the patient's skin and the elastic band 14. By setting up the resistance training component, the patient's ankle training is played, which can help the patient's ankle restore strength, thereby helping the patient to improve the condition of foot drop. In addition, the presence of the skin-friendly elastic sleeve 15 is adapted to the extension and retraction of the elastic band 14, which increases the comfort and avoids friction between the elastic band 14 and the patient's skin, thereby avoiding scratches on the skin.

[0031] Among them, the upper positioning bar 13 and the lower positioning bar 5 are evenly spaced inside with positioning holes for buckling with the buckle 16, and an internal reinforcement ring 18 is fixed inside each positioning hole. By setting the positioning holes evenly spaced on the lower positioning bar 5 and the upper positioning bar 13, the device can increase or decrease the number of elastic bands 14 used according to the patient's rehabilitation training needs, and in order to facilitate the patient's use, both ends of the elastic band 14 are connected by buckles 16 and metal rings 17, which greatly improves convenience.

[0032] Among them, the fitting surfaces of the first Velcro strap 3 and the second Velcro strap 12 are respectively provided with a Velcro sub-strip and a Velcro mother-strip. By providing the first Velcro strap 3 and the second Velcro strap 12, it is convenient for patients to wear ankle fixation components and leg fixation components.

[0033] Among them, the inside of the fitting side panel 2 is provided with an inner lining layer 19, and the material of the inner lining layer 19 and the fitting side panel 2 itself are both PU material, and the contact surface of the fitting side panel 2 and the patient's foot skin is sewn with a cotton lining 20. The strength of the fitting side panel 2 is increased by providing the inner lining layer 19, and the PU material ensures its comfort when in contact with the patient's skin, and it is more convenient to take care of. In order to further increase the patient's comfort, a cotton lining 20 is provided on the inner wall of the fitting side panel 2, that is, the contact surface with the patient's skin.

[0034] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation modes. Anyone should be aware of the structural changes made under the inspiration of the present invention. Any technical solution that is the same or similar to the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention. The technology, shape, and structure that are not described in detail in the present invention are all known technologies.
