Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of elbow restriction, in particular to an elbow support and activity restriction device for sleeping for preventing cubital tunnel syndrome. Background Art

[0002] The ulnar nerve innervates a portion of the upper limb, providing sensory and motor control. It originates from the medial bundle of the brachial plexus, descends along the medial side of the brachial artery, passes through the ulnar nerve groove, and through the flexor carpi ulnaris to the medial palmar surface of the forearm, wrist, and palm. Cubital tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a chronic injury to the ulnar nerve within the ulnar nerve groove at the elbow. Symptoms typically include elbow pain, numbness or paresthesia in the arm, difficulty with fine motor skills, weakness, and muscle atrophy.

[0003] Some individuals or patients with cubital tunnel syndrome will unconsciously raise their arms (increasing the angle between the elbow and chest) or bend them (increasing the angle between the elbow and forearm) while sleeping. This can easily lead to numbness of the ulnar nerve due to excessive stretching, which can trigger or aggravate cubital tunnel syndrome. Elbow supports and activity restriction devices are of great value in improving this situation. Utility Model Content
