Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a weighted shoe for postoperative rehabilitation. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical practice, patients with certain sports injuries, such as ACL tears or meniscus injuries, often need to wear weighted shoes to aid in rehabilitation before surgery. Weighted shoes activate the calf and thigh muscles, thereby accelerating the recovery process of the lower limbs.

[0003] However, in modern clinical practice, sandbags are commonly used to assist patients in lower limb rehabilitation training. Traditional sandbags are typically provided to athletes to help them strengthen their lower limbs, and their weight is relatively large and cannot be flexibly adjusted. Their application scenario differs significantly from that of patients. Therefore, traditional sandbags are not suitable for assisting patients in lower limb rehabilitation training in clinical practice. Furthermore, traditional sandbags cannot accurately measure the patient's exercise volume (number of steps taken), resulting in poor effectiveness.

[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned technical deficiencies urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a weight-bearing shoe for postoperative rehabilitation, which is designed to provide flexible weight distribution, relieve muscle soreness in the lower limbs, promote blood circulation in the lower limbs, and accelerate the patient's lower limb rehabilitation process.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve the technical problem is as follows: a postoperative rehabilitation weight-bearing shoe, comprising:

[0007] Lower leg fixation sleeve, which is used to wrap around the patient's lower leg, has at least one accommodating pocket on its outer side wall;

[0008] Several counterweights with different weights, which can be detachably connected inside the containment bag;

[0009] And sea salt patches, which are detachably attached to the inner wall of the calf fixation sleeve;

[0010] The lower leg fixation sleeve extends along the direction of the heel and includes a heel fixation sleeve, which is used to fix the patient's heel.

[0011] In this embodiment, the lower leg fixation sleeve is further provided with at least one first elastic fixing band, which is used to fix the lower leg fixation sleeve.

[0012] In this embodiment, a second elastic fixing band is provided on the heel fixing sleeve, and the second elastic fixing band is used to fix the heel fixing sleeve.

[0013] In this embodiment, both the first elastic fixing band and the second elastic fixing band are configured as elastic Velcro structures.

[0014] In this embodiment, the heel fixation sleeve and the calf fixation sleeve are integrally formed.

[0015] In this embodiment, the sea salt patch includes a substrate layer, a physiotherapy pack, and a sea salt pack. The sea salt pack, the physiotherapy pack, and the substrate layer are sequentially bonded together as an integral structure. The physiotherapy pack is wrapped between the sea salt pack and the substrate layer. The side of the substrate layer facing away from the physiotherapy pack is detachably connected to the inner wall of the calf fixation sleeve.

[0016] The side of the sea salt pack that faces away from the physiotherapy pack is configured as a friction surface, which is used to rub the surface of the patient's calf.

[0017] In this embodiment, a counting device is provided on the lower leg fixation sleeve, which is used to count the number of steps the patient takes.

[0018] In this embodiment, the counting device is further configured to include:

[0019] The housing is mounted on the lower leg fixing sleeve;

[0020] The circuit board is housed inside the casing, and an acceleration sensor is mounted on the circuit board.

[0021] And a storage battery, which is housed inside the casing and electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0022] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the lower leg fixing sleeve is provided with several accommodating bags, the openings of the accommodating bags are facing upwards, the several accommodating bags are arranged in a row, and the counterweight is matched with the accommodating bags.

[0023] In this embodiment, both the calf fixation sleeve and the heel fixation sleeve are arc-shaped semi-enclosed structures, and both the heel fixation sleeve and the calf fixation sleeve are configured to be made of polypropylene material.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, this application provides a weighted shoe for postoperative rehabilitation. In this solution, medical staff can select appropriate weights based on the patient's injury. During walking, the weighted shoe moves up and down, causing the sea salt patches to massage the patient's calves, relieving muscle soreness and promoting blood circulation in the lower limbs. This accelerates the patient's lower limb rehabilitation. Simultaneously, a counting device tracks the patient's lower limb movement, helping to quantify the amount of exercise.

[0031] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described above can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0035] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The illustration shows a postoperative rehabilitation weighted shoe designed to assist in the lower knee rehabilitation of patients with sports injuries, such as those undergoing surgery for anterior cruciate rupture or meniscus injury, and to accelerate the patient's lower limb rehabilitation process. Its main structure includes: a calf fixation sleeve 1, several weight blocks 2 with varying weights, and a sea salt patch 3. The calf fixation sleeve 1 is designed to surround the patient's calf, and at least one receiving pocket 11 is provided on the outer wall of the calf fixation sleeve 1. The weight blocks 2 are detachably connected to the receiving pocket 11; the sea salt patch 3 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the calf fixation sleeve 1.

[0036] The lower leg fixation sleeve 1 extends along the direction of the heel and is provided with a heel fixation sleeve 4, which is used to fix the patient's heel.

[0037] It should be noted that sandbags are commonly used in clinical practice today to assist patients in lower limb rehabilitation training. Traditional sandbags are typically provided to athletes to help them strengthen their lower limbs, and these sandbags have a relatively large weight that cannot be flexibly adjusted. Their application scenario differs significantly from that of patients. Therefore, traditional sandbags are not suitable for assisting patients in lower limb rehabilitation training in clinical practice. Furthermore, traditional sandbags cannot accurately measure the patient's exercise volume (number of steps taken), resulting in poor effectiveness.

[0038] In this application, medical staff can select appropriate weight blocks 2 based on the patient's injury. During walking, the weighted shoes move up and down, causing the sea salt patches 3 to massage the patient's calves. Specifically, during each stride, when the foot is lifted, it slides downwards under the weight of the weight blocks 2 and the weighted shoes themselves (the elastic straps securing the weighted shoes should not be too tight), creating a gap between the heel support 4 and the patient's heel. When the foot lands, the bottom of the heel support 4 touches the ground first, lifting the calf support 1, and the patient's lower limb continues to fall until the heel contacts the heel support 4. Each movement of the calf support 1 relative to the patient's lower limb causes the sea salt patches 3 to rub against the patient's lower limb, removing dead skin cells and making the skin smoother and softer. Combined with the effects of sea salt, this helps relieve muscle soreness and promote blood circulation, thus accelerating the patient's lower limb recovery. Simultaneously, a counting device tracks the patient's lower limb movement, helping to quantify the amount of exercise.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the lower leg fixing sleeve 1 is provided with at least one first elastic fixing band 12, which is used to fix the lower leg fixing sleeve 1.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a second elastic fixing band 41 is provided on the heel fixing sleeve 4, which is used to fix the heel fixing sleeve 4.

[0041] Understandably, the calf fixation sleeve 1 and the heel fixation sleeve 4 are respectively fitted onto the patient's calf using the first elastic fixation band 12 and the second elastic fixation band 41 to prevent them from becoming too loose. Of course, in order for the calf fixation sleeve 1 and the heel fixation sleeve 4 to move up and down smoothly, the first elastic fixation band 12 and the second elastic fixation band 41 should not be tightened too much.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, both the first elastic retaining band 12 and the second elastic retaining band 41 are configured with an elastic hook and loop fastener structure. The elastic hook and loop fastener structure allows for quick adjustment of tightness and opening / closing.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the heel fixation sleeve 4 and the calf fixation sleeve 1 are integrally formed so that the heel fixation sleeve 4 and the calf fixation sleeve 1 can move up and down synchronously.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sea salt patch 3 includes: a substrate layer 31, a physiotherapy pack 32, and a sea salt pack 33. The sea salt pack 33, the physiotherapy pack 32, and the substrate layer 31 are sequentially bonded together as an integral structure. The physiotherapy pack 32 is wrapped between the sea salt pack 33 and the substrate layer 31. The side of the substrate layer 31 facing away from the physiotherapy pack 32 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the calf fixation sleeve 1.

[0045] Among them, the side of the sea salt pack 33 facing away from the physiotherapy pack 32 is configured as a friction surface 331, which is used to rub the surface of the patient's lower leg.

[0046] It should be noted that the sea salt pack 33 is a packaged product containing sea salt, typically designed for specific purposes such as relaxation, muscle soothing, and exfoliation. Their effects can vary depending on their formulation and design. Sea salt packs 33 are commonly used for bathing or applying heat to the affected area, as the sea salt is believed to help relax muscles and relieve fatigue and soreness. As a natural exfoliating ingredient, sea salt can remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface, leaving it smoother and softer. In this application, the friction surface 331 of the sea salt pack 33 generates heat when rubbed against the patient's lower limbs, enabling the sea salt pack 33 to achieve a corresponding degree of heat therapy effect, which can promote blood circulation, help improve blood flow, and alleviate problems caused by poor blood circulation.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a counting device 5 is installed on the lower leg fixation sleeve 1. The counting device 5 is used to count the number of steps the patient takes. This helps medical staff or family members obtain the patient's walking data and determine whether the patient's exercise level is up to standard.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the counting device 5 includes: a housing 51, a circuit board 52, and a battery 53. The housing 51 is mounted on the lower leg fixing sleeve 1; the circuit board 52 is mounted inside the housing 51, and an acceleration sensor 54 is mounted on the circuit board 52; the battery 53 is mounted inside the housing 51 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 52.

[0049] It is understandable that each time a patient walks, there will be a certain change in acceleration. The acceleration sensor 54 can obtain the change in acceleration each time, so that the counting device 5 can count the patient's walking data.

[0050] Furthermore, several accommodating bags 11 are provided on the outer wall of the lower leg fixing sleeve 1, with the openings of the accommodating bags 11 facing upwards. The several accommodating bags 11 are arranged in a row, and the counterweight 2 matches the accommodating bags 11.

[0051] Furthermore, both the calf fixation sleeve 1 and the heel fixation sleeve 4 have an arc-shaped semi-enclosed structure, and both the heel fixation sleeve 4 and the calf fixation sleeve 1 are made of polypropylene material.

[0052] Polypropylene is a lightweight plastic that also possesses high strength and rigidity, making it an ideal choice for many applications. It exhibits good chemical stability, resisting corrosion from many chemicals, and is therefore widely used in the chemical, medical device, and other fields. The lower leg fixation sleeve 1 and heel fixation sleeve 4 of this application are molded from polypropylene material, resulting in a more stable structure.

[0053] In summary, this application provides a weighted shoe for postoperative rehabilitation. According to this solution, medical staff can select appropriate weight blocks 2 based on the patient's injury. During walking, the weighted shoe moves up and down, thereby stimulating the sea salt patch 3 to massage the patient's calves, relieving muscle soreness and promoting blood circulation in the lower limbs. This accelerates the patient's lower limb rehabilitation. Simultaneously, a counting device tracks the patient's lower limb movement, helping to quantify the amount of exercise.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
