Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a support and stretching device for preventing the shoulder joint from sinking. Background Art

[0002] Hemiplegia is the most common type of disability after a stroke, causing muscle atrophy and paralysis, affecting body functions. This paralysis is often accompanied by loose joints, especially in the elbow joints. Because hemiplegic patients have weak muscle strength on one side of their limbs, their arms naturally hang down when they stand or lie down. Under the influence of gravity, the shoulder blades sink and retract, and over time, shoulder subluxation may occur. Typical upper limb hemiplegia manifests as sinking and retracting of the shoulder joint, flexion and limited extension of the elbow joint, forearm pronation, wrist flexion, and inability to straighten the fingers.

[0003] In summary, the current process of improving shoulder joint activities has the following technical problems: medical staff will provide guidance and training to hemiplegic patients, such as shrugging movements, but in daily life, training only takes up a small part of the time, and patients are in a relaxed state most of the time. During daily activities, the scapula is pulled by gravity for a long time, and the problem of shoulder joint sinking still occurs. Utility Model Content
