Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to fracture rehabilitation braces. Background Technology

[0002] Braces are important tools used to assist in treatment and rehabilitation. There are three types of braces: fracture rehabilitation braces, spinal braces, and joint braces. Fracture rehabilitation braces are specifically designed for fracture patients to fix the fracture site and promote fracture healing. They come in different shapes and structures depending on the location and severity of the fracture. Spinal braces are used for the treatment and rehabilitation of spinal diseases. Spinal braces can provide support and stability, reduce pressure on the spine, and help patients restore normal spinal shape and function.

[0003] Fracture rehabilitation braces have a wide and important application in the process of fracture rehabilitation. In the early stage after a fracture, rehabilitation braces can provide stable fixation to the fracture site, which helps prevent displacement of the fracture ends and creates favorable conditions for natural fracture healing. Fractures are often accompanied by local swelling, and the appropriate pressure of rehabilitation braces can promote local blood circulation and help reduce swelling. In the middle and late stages of fracture rehabilitation, when the fracture site begins to heal but cannot yet fully bear the weight of the body, rehabilitation braces can assist patients in functional exercises.

[0004] After a fracture, local swelling often occurs. However, general fracture rehabilitation braces do not have the ability to adjust the tightness of the brace, which can cause discomfort to fracture patients. In such cases, the brace needs to be removed and reinstalled, which is very inconvenient and does not help the rehabilitation and treatment of fracture patients. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a fracture rehabilitation brace, which aims to improve the problem that the existing technology is very inconvenient to use and not conducive to the rehabilitation and treatment of fracture patients.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fracture rehabilitation brace, comprising a first fixed soft plate, with fixed blocks fixedly connected to the upper and lower rear ends of the first fixed soft plate, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed blocks, a third fixed soft plate fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and fixed posts fixedly connected to the front of the first fixed soft plate, with sliding buckles fixedly connected to the other ends of the multiple second fixed posts, and buckle boxes slidably connected to the other ends of the sliding buckles, the rear end of the buckle boxes being fixedly connected to the front of the third fixed soft plate, a buckle groove being provided inside the buckle box, and fixed cylinders fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the buckle groove, with a pull disc fixedly connected to the opposite side of the multiple fixed cylinders, springs slidably connected inside the multiple fixed cylinders, sliding rods slidably connected to the inner walls of the springs, and limit teeth fixedly connected to the ends of the multiple sliding rods, and a rotating mechanism provided at the bottom of the first fixed soft plate, the rotating mechanism being used to rotate the fracture rehabilitation brace.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The rotating mechanism includes support rods, the tops of which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed flexible plate three. The other ends of the support rods are rotatably connected to a rotating rod. Limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the outer walls of the rotating rod. Limiting grooves are formed inside the limiting blocks. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting blocks away from each other. An elastic strap one is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating plate, and an elastic strap two is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating plate. The other end of the elastic strap one is fixedly connected to the fixed flexible plate two.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The upper and lower ends of the sliding buckle are fixedly connected with gear teeth, and the outer wall of the gear teeth is meshed with the outer wall of the limiting teeth.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] A soft pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first fixed soft plate, and a soft pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third fixed soft plate.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The top ends of the multiple support rods are fixedly connected to a fixing column, and the other end of the fixing column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the fixing flexible plate.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The other end of the sliding buckle is fixedly connected to a handle, and the outer wall of the handle is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] A fixing ring is fixedly connected to an adjacent side of each of the sliding rods, and the outer wall of each sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, when the wrapping of the fracture rehabilitation brace is loose, the handle can be pulled to adjust it. Pulling the handle reduces the wrapping diameter of the brace, thereby tightening the brace. When the pressure of the fracture rehabilitation brace is too strong, the limiting teeth can be disengaged from the wheel teeth when the disc is pulled, and the wrapping diameter of the brace can be adjusted. Therefore, the patient can adjust the tightness of the brace at will, which is beneficial to the rehabilitation treatment of fracture patients.

The function of the limiting block 203 is to limit the rotation direction and angle of the rotating plate 205 and the support rod 201. In this way, the fracture patient can move the joint freely without restriction, which is conducive to ensuring the daily life and rehabilitation treatment of the fracture patient.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
