Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hemiplegic pillow technology, specifically a hemiplegic pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Given the severe challenges posed by stroke, characterized by "five highs" (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and high risk of stroke), early proper positioning of the limbs in stroke-induced hemiplegic patients is crucial. Early proper positioning can effectively prevent complications. Hemiplegic pillows are specifically designed for stroke-induced hemiplegic patients, aiming to support and elevate the paralyzed limbs through their specific shape, material, and height. This promotes blood flow, prevents or reduces swelling, and helps patients maintain a comfortable position, thereby contributing to their rehabilitation and improving their quality of life.

[0003] However, in clinical nursing work, proper limb positioning requires the use of various pillows. At home, four pillows are needed, or even more, which take up most of the space on the hospital bed. This makes the operation impractical, resulting in insufficient pillows in hospital departments. Proper limb positioning is difficult to implement, which seriously affects the recovery process of hemiplegic patients and leads to various complications. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] This embodiment provides a hemiplegic pillow, comprising: a pillow having a leg pillow 1, a back pillow 2, and an arm pillow 3; the leg pillow 1, back pillow 2, and arm pillow 3 are detachably connected as a whole; as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the leg pillow 1, back pillow 2, and arm pillow 3 are all isosceles trapezoidal structures, and multiple of each are provided. Connecting fabric strips 5 are sewn between adjacent back pillows 2, adjacent leg pillows 1, and adjacent arm pillows 3, using these connecting fabric strips 5 as a connecting medium to connect adjacent back pillows 2, adjacent leg pillows 1, and adjacent arm pillows 3. This results in insertion notches between adjacent back pillows 2, adjacent leg pillows 1, and adjacent arm pillows 3. Specifically, the insertion notch between adjacent back pillows 2 is gap two 21, the insertion notch between adjacent leg pillows 1 is gap one 11, and the insertion notch between adjacent arm pillows 3 is gap three 31.

[0030] When the entire pillow needs to be stored and is not in use, such as Figure 1 As shown, the notches between two adjacent back pillows 2 can be engaged with the side walls of a leg pillow 1; the notches between two adjacent arm pillows 3 can also be engaged with the side walls of a leg pillow 1, ultimately forming a structure with the same length and width as the leg pillow 1. This results in a small space occupation and does not take up too much space on the hospital bed. It should also be noted that the length of the leg pillow 1 is longer than the sum of the lengths of the back pillows 2 and the wall pillows. This design ensures that the leg pillow 1 has sufficient length to accommodate the insertion notches of the back pillows 2 and arm pillows 3, allowing them to be engaged side-by-side with the side walls of the leg pillow 1.

[0031] When in use, leg pillow 1 is used to independently support the patient's legs, back pillow 2 is used to independently support the patient's back, and arm pillow 3 is used to independently support the patient's arms.

[0032] For example, regarding the need for lateral decubitus positional support on the affected side, refer to... Figure 5As shown, the back pillow 2 and arm pillow 3 are separate from the leg pillow 1. The affected upper limb is placed on the arm pillow 3 in front of the body, with the shoulder joint extended forward, shoulder flexed at 90°-130°, elbow extended, forearm pronated, wrist and finger joints extended, and palm facing down. The leg pillow 1 is bent into an L-shape and placed on the hospital bed. The opening of the insertion notch in the leg pillow 1 is 1-1.5cm. The purpose of this design is to avoid an excessively large opening, which would result in a large gap when the leg pillow 1 is bent into an L-shape, leading to a smaller support surface for the leg and poor support comfort. The affected lower limb is placed on the leg pillow 1 in front of the body with the hip and knee slightly flexed, keeping the ankle joint at 90°. The unaffected upper and lower limbs are placed in a comfortable position, keeping the hip slightly extended and the knee slightly flexed. Then, the back pillow 2 is placed behind the patient for support.

[0033] It is important to keep the hands open and avoid placing anything to counteract flexor spasms. The affected hand and foot should not be dangling over the edge of the pillow to prevent aggravating wrist and foot inversion. Lying on the unaffected side is the most comfortable position for the patient and is also beneficial for the affected limb.

[0034] The affected upper and lower limbs are supported by leg pillows 1 and arm pillows 3, with the height slightly above heart level to promote venous return and reduce edema. However, for patients of different body types, it is difficult to perfectly achieve the support height of leg pillows 1 and arm pillows 3 above heart level. Therefore, multiple layers of thickened padding 4 need to be removably installed on the bottom walls of leg pillows 1, back pillows 2, and arm pillows 3. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the number of thickened pads 4 is selectively adjusted based on the required support height. The purpose of adding thickened pads 4 to the bottom wall of the back pillow 2 is to meet the patient's back support needs. The bottom walls of the leg pillow 1, back pillow 2, arm pillow 3, and thickened pads 4 all have Velcro hooks, and the upper side walls of the thickened pads 4 all have Velcro hooks 41. The bottom walls of the leg pillow 1, back pillow 2, and arm pillow 3 are connected to the upper side walls of the thickened pads 4 via Velcro hooks and hooks 41. Adjacent thickened pads 4 are also connected via Velcro hooks and hooks 41. By using Velcro to attach the thickened pads 4 to the bottom walls of the leg pillow 1, back pillow 2, and arm pillow 3, the required height support can be met. Alternatively, zippers or other easily assembled and disassembled connection structures can be used.

[0035] Specifically, when the leg pillow 1 is bent into an L-shaped structure, to prevent the L-shaped structure from reverting to its original position and failing to meet the leg support requirements, the single thickened pad 4 is divided into two equal parts, such as... Figure 5As shown, the two thickened pads 4 on the same horizontal plane are arranged in an L-shape. During this arrangement, the end sidewall of one thickened pad 4 is attached to the end sidewall of the other thickened pad 4. This arrangement is to prevent the L-shaped leg pillow 1 from changing into other structures, thus failing to meet the leg support requirements. Based on the required support height, an appropriate number of thickened pads 4 are selected. The bottom walls of the leg pillow 1, back pillow 2, and arm pillow 3 are bonded to the upper sidewalls of the thickened pads 4 using hook and loop fasteners 41. Adjacent thickened pads 4 are also bonded together using hook and loop fasteners 41.

[0036] In summary, eliminating the need for four or more pillows to support the hemiplegic patient's limbs in a proper position is crucial for their rehabilitation and can prevent complications. Furthermore, the pillow is lightweight, portable, and saves on the number of pillows needed, reducing costs and avoiding the pillows taking up a large area of ​​the bed.

[0037] In this embodiment, the leg pillow 1, back pillow 2, and arm pillow 3 are all cotton pads covered with dustproof covers, and the cotton pads can be removed, disinfected, and washed.

[0038] In addition, the short side of the isosceles trapezoid structure is 1-1.5cm long, the long side is 2-2.5cm long, and the distance between the long and short sides is 20-35cm; preferably, the short side is 1cm long, the long side is 2cm long, and the distance between the long and short sides is 20cm, which can meet the support range requirements of the upper and lower limbs and the back.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
