Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an anti-foot drop pillow. Background Art
[0002] A normal ankle joint can perform dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, eversion and other movements. When the dorsiflexion movement deteriorates, foot drop will occur. Patients who are bedridden for a long time lie in the same position for a large part of the time. Over time, the patient will develop foot drop, lose foot function, and develop disuse atrophy. This is not conducive to the patient's recovery and walking, and when walking, it is easy to stumble and get into danger. The current way to prevent patients from foot drop is to put a soft pillow under the patient's foot, but the soft pillow is soft in texture and easy to move, and cannot play an effective preventive role.
[0003] There is an existing anti-footdrop device that is fixed to the bed and supports the foot against the footrest. This solution can effectively prevent the foot from bending and causing footdrop. However, when the patient is asleep, the body will move unconsciously. Without effective fixing means, the foot can easily leave the footrest. Unlike wearable protective devices, we have proposed a new anti-footdrop pillow. Utility Model Content
