[0002] In clinical practice, patients with cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, brain trauma and stroke are prone to enter the flaccid paralysis stage and develop hemiplegia. One side of the limb is flaccid and the patient's muscle tone is low, which leads to abduction and external rotation of the hip joint on the affected side, further leading to foot drop and foot inversion, resulting in heel pressure ulcers and other conditions. Patients in the flaccid paralysis stage need to be managed for their posture to help them fix the affected side and maintain the correct posture.
[0003] In the existing technology, it is usually necessary to use towels, bandages and other care tools to manage the position of the patient's lower limbs, fix the affected lower limbs to reduce the occurrence of external rotation and pressure sores, support the knee joint, adjust the bending angle of the knee joint, and keep the knee joint in the correct position.
[0004] Although the above scheme can help the affected lower limb to be in the correct position, it is usually in a fixed state, which is not conducive to adjusting the range of motion of the ankle joint, causing the ankle joint to maintain the same angle for a long time, which can easily increase the pressure on the same position of the heel, thereby leading to the occurrence of pressure sores. At the same time, it reduces the activity and exercise of the affected side, is not conducive to helping the blood circulation of the affected side, is not conducive to maintaining normal function, and may even lead to adverse conditions such as muscle atrophy.

[0026] 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 of the 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.
[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model provides a lower limb auxiliary nursing device, including a leg fixing sleeve 10. A foot sleeve 20 is provided at one end of the leg fixing sleeve 10. An adjusting rope 30 is provided at the connection between the leg fixing sleeve 10 and the foot sleeve 20. The foot sleeve 20 rotates around its connection with the leg fixing sleeve 10 to form an angle adjustment structure, and the adjusting rope 30 is folded back and self-adhered around its connection with the foot sleeve 20 to form a fixing structure. At least two groups of limiting plates 21 are provided on the foot sleeve 20, and one side of the limiting plate 21 is in movable abutment with the bed surface to form a support limiting structure;
[0028] Among them, a popliteal fossa pad 40 is provided on the leg fixing sleeve 10, and the supporting surface of the popliteal fossa pad 40 is inclined downward with respect to the upper supporting surface of the leg fixing sleeve 10 to form a lower limb support angle adjustment structure.
[0029] The present utility model adopts a form of movable connection to form an adjustable lower limb auxiliary fixing structure. By adjusting the support angle of the foot sleeve, it is beneficial to support and fix the ankle or perform dorsiflexion movement. By integrally supporting the popliteal fossa, leg, and ankle, the purpose of supporting and fixing the lower limb is achieved, which can reduce the adverse reactions caused by hip abduction, keep the patient's lower limb in the correct position, and reduce the occurrence of heel pressure sores.
[0030] The lower limbs are fixed by the leg fixing sleeves 10 and the foot sleeves 20, and the angle of the foot sleeves 20 is adjusted with the adjustment rope 30, which helps to limit the rotation of the ankle and help the ankle maintain a proper position. At the same time, the popliteal pad 40 further adjusts the curvature of the lower limbs, thereby helping the lower limbs maintain a correct position.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the longitudinal section of the leg fixing sleeve 10 is a concave structure, and the openings of the leg fixing sleeve 10 and the openings of the foot cover 20 are both adhered with straps 11 through Velcro.
[0032] The leg fixing sleeve 10 and the foot sleeve 20 are made of flexible material to form an integrated structure. Openings are provided on the upper surface of the leg fixing sleeve 10 and the front side of the foot sleeve 20. One end of the strap 11 is fixed at the opening, and the other end is adjusted and fixed by Velcro, so that the tightness of the fixation can be adjusted according to the patient's legs, making it easy to wear.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the adjustment rope 30 is fixed to the upper surface of the leg fixing sleeve 10, and one end of the adjustment rope 30 is movably connected to the opening of the foot sleeve 20 through the fixing ring 31, and one end of the adjustment rope 30 is passed through the fixing ring 31 and folded and fixed by Velcro.
[0034] The purpose of adjusting the degree of bending of the foot sleeve 20 is achieved by adjusting the rope 30 to pull the foot sleeve 20, thereby driving the foot to naturally hang down or dorsiflex, helping to manage the posture of the foot and ankle, reducing the situation where the external rotation of the foot and ankle drives the abduction and external rotation of the hip joint, and can help hemiplegic patients fix the position of the affected side to reduce the occurrence of adverse conditions such as foot drop and foot inversion.
[0035] After the leg fixing sleeves 10 and foot sleeves 20 are put on the patient's lower limbs, the adjustment rope 30 is passed through the fixing ring 31 and then folded back, and the adjustment rope 30 is folded so that both sides of the adjustment rope 30 are fixed with Velcro to complete the fixation of the angle of the foot sleeve 20.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the leg fixing sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the popliteal pad 40 via a connecting rope 12. The longitudinal section of the popliteal pad 40 is a circular structure, and the diameter of the popliteal pad 40 is greater than the thickness of the leg fixing sleeve 10.
[0037] An ankle pad 13 is provided at the connection between one end of the leg fixing sleeve 10 and the foot sleeve 20 , and the longitudinal section of the ankle pad 13 is a semicircular structure.
[0038] The popliteal fossa pad 40 and the leg fixing sleeve 10 are connected by a connecting rope 12, which is beneficial to expanding the support range of the leg fixing sleeve 10, facilitating the adjustment of the support distance between the popliteal fossa pad 40 and the leg fixing sleeve 10, supporting the popliteal fossa, facilitating the adjustment of the bending angle of the patient's lower limb, further adjusting the patient's lower limb to a correct position, and thus reducing the pressure on the heel;
[0039] At the same time, the ankle pad 13 is beneficial to supporting the ankle, facilitating the dispersion of the pressure at the heel, and reducing the occurrence of pressure sores at the heel.
[0040] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a limiting block 22 is provided on the upper surface of the limiting plate 21. The limiting block 22 has a right-angled triangle structure, and the right-angled sides of the limiting block 22 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 21 and the foot sleeve 20 respectively.
[0041] The limiting plate 21 and the limiting block 22 are beneficial to increasing the limitation on both sides of the foot sleeve 20. The limiting block 22 enhances the support on both sides of the foot sleeve 20, which is beneficial to reducing the tendency of the patient's lower limb to expand outward when hanging naturally, and thus is beneficial to keeping the lower limb in a correct position and not prone to the situation of hip abduction.
[0042] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements within the essence and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent replacements should also be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
