Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of nursing equipment, and particularly relates to a foot drop prevention fixator. Background Art

[0002] Foot drop refers to the symptom that the foot cannot be lifted normally when walking or standing due to insufficient foot muscle strength or nerve dysfunction. To prevent foot drop, the following measures can be taken: Positioning: Keep the ankle joint in a neutral dorsiflexed position when the patient is lying, provide adequate support, and avoid inversion and drop; Neuromuscular electrical stimulation technology treatment: Promote the establishment of normal signal transmission pathways. Repeated stimulation can excite the cortex, and then stimulate the brain to complete the reconstruction of the functional control pathway in other parts of the brain; Muscle stretching technology: Stretch and lengthen the spastic soft tissue and reduce muscle tension; Muscle taping technology: Enhance proprioception, enhance muscle activity, and provide joint support , joint alignment, biomechanical correction of the role of external ligaments; rehabilitation training programs such as resistance training: enhance the strength and function of foot muscles through professional rehabilitation training; use of ankle-foot orthoses: maintain lateral stability of the ankle joint, prevent joint sprains, limit ankle flexion and extension range of motion to prevent the forefoot from dropping and dragging on the ground when swinging; control of the foot during daily walking: avoid walking in abnormal postures, reduce compensatory movements, make separation movements more complete, and form a virtuous cycle of walking; through the above measures, the occurrence of foot drop can be effectively prevented, and patients who already have foot drop symptoms can be helped to improve symptoms; if foot drop symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical attention for professional evaluation and treatment in time.

[0003] At present, the feet of long-term bedridden patients suffering from cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, etc. will sag over time during the long-term bed rest, which may cause deformities in the patients and make them unable to recover later. The existing solution is for nursing staff to put shoes on the patients and perform limb rehabilitation, but the rigidity of the shoes is low and cannot fix the patients' feet, so the feet will still sag. Based on this, an anti-foot sag fixator is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0019] The present application is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technicians in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0020] Example

[0021] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an anti-foot sagging fixer includes a footrest 1 and a leg fixer 4, the leg fixer 4 is rotatably connected to the footrest 1 through a connecting shaft 3, a first soft pad 2 is fixedly connected to the footrest 1, a slide groove 13 is provided on both sides of the leg fixer 4, a plurality of positioning holes 14 are provided on both sides of the leg fixer 4, and the plurality of positioning holes 14 are connected to the slide groove 13, a connecting rope 8 is installed on the footrest 1, a slider 12 is installed on the free end of the connecting rope 8, and the slider 12 is adapted to the slide groove 13 and the positioning holes 14; two fixing parts 5 and four fixing holes 7 are provided on the leg fixer 4, and the four fixing holes 7 are grouped in pairs, with a total of two groups, and the two groups of fixing holes 7 are provided on both sides of the two fixing parts 5; the fixing part 5 is configured to be frustum-conical The inner surface of the truncated cone-shaped fixing part 5 is fixedly connected with a second soft pad 11; the leg fixer 4 is located on one side of the inner surface of the fixing part 5 and is fixedly connected with two straps 6, and the two straps 6 are adapted to the fixing holes 7; the two straps 6 are fixedly connected with a hook-surface Velcro 9 and a fleece-surface Velcro 10, and the hook-surface Velcro 9 and the fleece-surface Velcro 10 are adapted; the hook-surface Velcro 9 and the fleece-surface Velcro 10 are adapted to the fixing holes 7, and one strap 6 passes through a group of two fixing holes 7, and the strap 6 first passes through the fixing hole 7 close to the side of the fixing part 5, and then passes through the fixing hole 7 away from the fixing part 5, and finally the fleece-surface Velcro 10 is pasted on the hook-surface Velcro 9, and then it can be fixed by the hook-surface Velcro 9 and the fleece-surface Velcro 10.

[0022] When in use, first place the slider 12 in the lowest positioning hole 14 through the slide groove 13. At this time, the angle between the footrest 1 and the leg fixer 4 reaches the maximum state, and the patient's foot is located above the footrest 1. Then, the two fixing parts 5 on the leg fixer 4 are fitted to the patient's legs through the second soft pad 11. Then, a strap 6 can be passed through a group of fixing holes 7. When passing through a group of fixing holes 7, the strap 6 is first passed through the fixing hole 7 close to the side of the fixing part 5, and then passed through the fixing hole 7 away from the fixing part 5. Pass the other strap 6 through another group of fixing holes 7. When passing through another group of fixing holes 7, the strap 6 is first passed through the fixing hole 7 close to the side of the fixing part 5, and then passed through the fixing hole 7 away from the fixing part 5. Finally, the fleece Velcro 10 is pasted on the hook Velcro 9. The leg fixer 4 can be fixed to the patient's leg through the hook Velcro 9 and the fleece Velcro 10.

[0023] In this way, the angle between the footrest 1 and the leg holder 4 can be adjusted according to the patient's foot condition. By sliding the slider 12 in the slide groove 13 and placing it on the corresponding positioning hole 14, the angle between the footrest 1 and the leg holder 4 can be adjusted.

[0024] By placing the leg fixator 4 on the upper part of the leg, the lower surface of the bedridden patient's legs is prevented from being injured. The length of the connecting rope 8 is adjusted in the slide groove 13 and the positioning hole 14 of the leg fixator 4 through the slider 12. The angle between the footrest 1 and the leg fixator 4 can be adjusted to adapt to patients with different conditions. The parts of the footrest 1 and the leg fixator 4 that contact the human body use the first soft pad 2 and the second soft pad 11 to improve comfort and have the function of heat insulation. In addition, the patient is fixed with a soft strap 6 to reduce damage to the patient, and the fixator as a whole is foldable for easy carrying.

[0025] It should be noted that, by adopting the above solution, the patient's foot can be effectively prevented from sagging and deformity of the patient's foot can be avoided, thereby enabling the patient to recover well and shortening the recovery period.

[0026] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
