Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical assistive device technology, specifically a foot brace. Background Technology
[0002] Diabetic foot refers to foot infections, ulcers, and / or deep tissue damage caused by distal neuropathy and varying degrees of peripheral vascular disease in diabetic patients. Diabetic foot is one of the chronic complications of diabetes and is a general term for foot pain, skin ulcers, and other lesions caused by a combination of diabetic factors. In addition, diabetic patients are also prone to peripheral neuropathy. Due to long-term hyperglycemia, diabetic patients can damage nerves, especially the peripheral nerves of the lower limbs, leading to decreased or lost sensation. This can easily cause foot injuries without the patient realizing it, resulting in damage and deformity of the soft tissues and musculoskeletal system of the foot, and thus a series of foot problems. When the condition is severe, foot braces are needed to protect the patient's feet.
[0003] However, the existing technology has the following problems when used in practice;
[0004] 1. Patients with diabetic foot caused by diabetes need to frequently stimulate the nerves in their feet to maintain their feet's normal function. However, existing equipment can only protect the patient's feet when used, and its function is relatively limited.
[0005] 2. The existing equipment can only be fixed to the patient's feet when in use. It is easy for the equipment to fall off when the patient moves, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0018] This utility model provides a foot brace, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. This foot support frame, through the coordinated design of a load-bearing plate, a rotating shaft, a rubber pad, and a massage ball, allows the patient to place their foot on the top of the rubber pad when in use. The rotating shaft causes the rubber pad to undulate, while the massage ball on top of the rubber pad massages and stimulates the patient's foot. This avoids the problem of existing devices that only provide basic foot protection. Furthermore, the rubber pad provides a soft contact surface for the patient's foot, increasing foot comfort.
[0020] 2. This foot brace, through the combination of a limiting shell, a load-bearing plate, and a tightening strap, allows for easier fixation of the limiting shell at the upper end of the load-bearing plate to the patient's leg when in use. This provides additional tension to the load-bearing plate on the patient's foot, resulting in a more secure and stable fixation of the device to the patient. The tightening strap also allows for adaptation to different leg sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0028] Example 1;
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5To improve patient leg comfort, this invention provides a foot support frame, primarily used for diabetic foot protection and massage. The frame includes a limiting shell 1 and a load-bearing plate 2. A fastening post 11 for limiting the foot is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting shell 1. A protective sponge pad 12 is snapped into the inner wall of the limiting shell 1. A ventilation opening 13 for heat dissipation is provided on the side of the sponge pad 12. A filter screen for filtering is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation opening 13. One end of the fastening post 11 is threaded with a device for securing the foot. The end cap 14 is fixed, and the outer surface of the end cap 14 is provided with friction texture for anti-slip. With the setting of the fastening post 11, after the staff adjusts the tightening strap 3 to the appropriate position, it is easier to limit the tightening strap 3. With the setting of the end cap 14, the tightening strap 3 that is snapped onto the outer surface of the fastening post 11 can be reinforced. With the setting of the sponge pad 12, extra comfort and protection are provided, and the direct pressure of hard parts on the legs is reduced. With the setting of the ventilation port 13, heat dissipation is used to prevent the patient's legs from becoming too stuffy.
[0030] Example 2;
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 To more conveniently provide driving force to the rotating shaft 4, a fastening strap 3 for fastening is bolted to the side of the limiting shell 1. One end of the fastening strap 3 is inserted into a limiting post 15 for fixing. The limiting post 15 passes through one side of the fastening strap 3 and is inserted into the inside of the limiting shell 1. The lower surface of the limiting shell 1 is engaged with the upper end of the load-bearing plate 2. A motor 10 is bolted to the side of the load-bearing plate 2. The output end of the motor 10 passes through one side of the load-bearing plate 2 and is inserted into the inside of the rotating shaft 4. With the help of the limiting post 15, one end of the fastening strap 3 can be fixed to the side of the limiting shell 1. With the help of the motor 10, power is provided to drive the rotating shaft 4, so that the rotating shaft 4 can rotate.
[0032] Example 3;
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 5 To facilitate the fixing of the rubber pad 5, a rotating shaft 4 for transmission is clamped to the inner wall of the load-bearing plate 2. One end of the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to a positioning shaft 8 for limiting. A belt 9 for transmission is sleeved on the outer surface of the positioning shaft 8. The upper end of the load-bearing plate 2 is connected to a protective rubber pad 5 by bolts. A pin 7 for fixing is inserted into the upper end of the rubber pad 5. The pin 7 passes through one side of the rubber pad 5 and is inserted into the interior of the load-bearing plate 2. A massage ball 6 for limiting is clamped to the upper end of the rubber pad 5. With the help of the positioning shaft 8, it is easy for the staff to clamp the rotating shaft 4 into the interior of the load-bearing plate 2. At the same time, with the help of the belt 9, it is easier to transmit the power generated by the motor 10 to the rotating shaft 4 inside the load-bearing plate 2. With the help of the pin 7, the rubber pad 5 at the upper end of the load-bearing plate 2 can be fixed.
[0034] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.
[0035] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0036] First, the limiting shell 1 is placed on the outer surface of the patient's leg. The limiting shell 1 is fixed to the patient's leg by the tightening action of the tightening strap 3, ensuring that the limiting shell 1 fits tightly to the patient's leg without any looseness. Then, the load-bearing plate 2 is fixed to the patient's foot by the tightening strap 3 at the upper end of the load-bearing plate 2. Then, the power supply of the motor 10 is turned on, and the motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, thereby causing the rubber pad 5 and the massage ball 6 to produce undulation and massage effect.
