Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hand rehabilitation training, in particular to a hand rehabilitation ball for patients after radical mastectomy of breast cancer. Background Art

[0002] Breast cancer, also known as breast cancer, is a common malignant tumor in women. It originates from the uncontrolled proliferation of mammary epithelial cells. Risk factors for breast cancer include genetics and exposure to estradiol, such as early menarche, late menopause, infertility, and childhood breast radiation exposure. Furthermore, factors such as delayed development, prolonged lactation, and early childbearing may reduce the risk of breast cancer. Modified radical mastectomy, a surgical procedure that typically involves the removal of the breast and some axillary lymph nodes, is performed. During surgery, to ensure the complete removal of any cancer cells, the surgeon typically makes an incision in the armpit for lymph node dissection.

[0003] After radical mastectomy, scar contracture of the incision and axilla is one of the main reasons affecting the function of the affected limb. Through hand rehabilitation exercises, the range of motion of the affected limb can be gradually increased, scar contracture can be effectively reduced, and the function of the affected limb can be restored. Rehabilitation exercises can strengthen muscle strength and restore the function of the affected limb to varying degrees. The design of clinical rehabilitation training balls is relatively simple and can only perform a single five-finger pinching resistance training. The functionality is single and insufficient to help patients with hand rehabilitation. Therefore, we proposed a hand rehabilitation ball for use after radical mastectomy to solve the above problems.
