Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an ankle fixing device, in particular to an ankle fixator. Background Art

[0002] When the ankle is strained or fractured, the ankle needs to be treated. After treatment, it is usually necessary to use an ankle fixator to fix it. Since the soft tissue around the joint is damaged, the joint stability is reduced. The ankle fixator can effectively fix the injured part, reduce joint movement, and avoid further injury. By limiting joint movement, the friction of the tissues in the injured part is reduced, thereby alleviating pain. Reducing movement also helps to reduce swelling, and can reduce unnecessary muscle movement and reduce the risk of spasms. During the rehabilitation process, the ankle fixator can provide stable support to help restore strength and mobility. Existing ankle fixators are usually made of soft or hard materials. The soft material has a poor fixation effect, and the ankle still has room to move, which can easily cause secondary injuries. Although the hard material has a good fixation effect, the ankle needs to move appropriately up and down and left and right during rehabilitation. The range of movement varies with the degree of rehabilitation. It is difficult to perform appropriate activities with existing fixators. It is necessary to wait until the ankle is completely healed before removing the fixator and then performing rehabilitation training, which affects the rehabilitation effect.

[0003] Chinese patent application number: 202321481673.4 discloses an ankle brace, comprising: a first body extending from the leg to the bottom of the foot, a second body covering the back of the foot, and a fixing strap. The second body extends away from the bottom of the foot at one end near the toes. The fixing strap is detachably connected to the first and second bodies, allowing the first and second bodies to fit the leg and foot. During rehabilitation, the brace immobilizes the ankle, making it difficult to perform proper rehabilitation training. Utility Model Content

[0043] The number of the second circular holes 41 can be one, two, three or even more, and the position of the foot fixing can be adjusted according to the specific situation.

[0044] The working method of the first embodiment is:

[0045] The patient places his foot on the base plate 4 and the ankle plate 2, with the heel against the support part, and is fixed by the fixing belt 6. At this time, the first fixing member 31 is fixed to the first circular hole 11, and the second fixing member 51 is fixed to the second circular hole 41, so that the ankle cannot move. In the early stage of the patient's rehabilitation, the first fixing member 31 is fixed to the first arc-shaped long hole 12 with the smallest arc length, and the second fixing member 51 is fixed to the second arc-shaped long hole 42 with the smallest arc length. The patient's ankle can perform rehabilitation exercises up and down and left and right within a small range. After the exercise is completed, the first fixing member 31 is fixed to the first circular hole 11, and the second fixing member 51 is fixed to the second circular hole 41. The exercise is performed several times a day. In the middle stage of the patient's rehabilitation, the first fixing member 31 is fixed to the first arc-shaped long hole 12 with a medium arc length, and the second fixing member 51 is fixed to the second arc-shaped long hole 42 with a medium arc length. The patient's ankle can perform rehabilitation activities up and down and left and right within a medium range, thereby increasing the space for the patient's ankle to move; in the late stage of the patient's rehabilitation, the first fixing member 31 is fixed to the first arc-shaped long hole 12 with the longest arc length, and the second fixing member 51 is fixed to the second arc-shaped long hole 42 with the longest arc length, thereby further increasing the space for the patient's ankle to move. This step-by-step rehabilitation process can not only protect the ankle well, but also advance the time for the patient to walk normally, thereby improving the efficiency of the patient's rehabilitation.

The adjustment plate 44 has a toe cap 46 at its end to protect the toes. The toe cap 46 is made of a soft material. The adjustment plate 44 has multiple fixing holes 47. The third fixing member 45 includes an elastic bead provided on the fixing plate 43, which can be fixed in one of the fixing holes 47.

[0048] The cap 46 is made of silicone, rubber or other soft materials. The cap 46 may not be provided and may be provided according to specific circumstances.

[0049] The third fixing member 45 may also be replaced by a bolt or other components, depending on the specific situation.

[0050] The adjustment plate 44 of the second embodiment can adjust the length of the base plate 4 to adapt to feet of different lengths and improve foot comfort.
