Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary appliance, concretely relates to a knee joint straightening exercise device for patients after total knee arthroplasty. BACKGROUND

[0002] Knee replacement is a joint replacement surgery, which is very common in orthopedic surgery. Simply put, it is to replace the damaged cartilage in the knee joint that affects the normal movement of the joint and the drum surface below it with a prosthetic component designed by man. The knee replacement surgery often encounters problems of limb extension dysfunction, which affects normal walking and overall quality of life. Therefore, it is required to perform straightening rehabilitation exercise on the knee joint of the limb after knee replacement surgery. The conventional exercise method is to apply a heavy object (such as a standard weight sandbag or salt bag) to the knee position to press the leg straight. However, the salt bag or sandbag is easy to slip off, and it is difficult to achieve the purpose of straightening the leg. Moreover, the weight of the sandbag or salt bag is not easy to control, and if the weight is too heavy, it may easily cause pressure injury, affecting the postoperative recovery of the patient. The use of multiple layers of adhesive tape or bandage to tightly fix the salt bag or sandbag causes the adhesive tape or bandage to be in close contact with the patient's leg skin, which is uncomfortable and may even cause local skin necrosis. Ice compress is needed for pain relief and hemostasis of the knee joint, which requires the adhesive tape or bandage to be unwound and the sandbag or salt bag to be removed before ice compress can be performed. Therefore, a new knee joint straightening exercise device for patients after total knee arthroplasty is designed to overcome the above technical defects. SUMMARY
