Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a physiotherapy device that acts on the human body, and in particular a multifunctional acupoint positioning knee physiotherapy device. Background Technology
[0002] Knee physiotherapy is a treatment method used by hospital physiotherapy departments to treat knee pain by applying moxibustion, massage, and magnetic heat to acupoints on the knee. Knee physiotherapy often utilizes knee therapy devices. Currently available knee therapy devices typically consist of a plate covering the knee and secured to the back of the knee or the area above and below the knee with straps. The back of the plate has several magnetic blocks corresponding to acupoints on the knee, or several square openings corresponding to acupoints on the plate, with moxibustion boxes installed at each opening. However, because everyone's knee size and shape are different, the location of acupoints varies. Therefore, the magnetic blocks on the back of the existing universal plate or the openings on the plate often deviate from the specific acupoint locations on an individual's knee, thus affecting the effectiveness of knee physiotherapy.
[0003] Patent document CN211747120U discloses a knee brace with magnetic therapy for joint acupoints, comprising a base. The base is characterized by: a silicone sheet fixedly connected to its lower surface; a massage head fixedly connected to the lower surface of the silicone sheet; a groove on the side of the massage head away from the silicone sheet; a magnet on the inner surface of the groove; an elastic band fixedly connected to the lower surface and center of the base; a first connecting band fixedly connected to the lower surface and upper part of the elastic band; a second connecting ring fixedly connected to the right side wall of the base and upper part of the elastic band; a second figure-eight buckle movably connected inside the second connecting ring; a second connecting band fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base and lower part of the elastic band; a first connecting ring fixedly connected to the right side wall of the base and lower part of the elastic band; and a first figure-eight buckle movably connected inside the first connecting ring. The drawback of this approach is as described above: since magnetic knee braces are general-purpose physiotherapy tools, the position of the magnets on them is fixed. However, different patients have different knee sizes and shapes, and the positions of acupoints on the knees vary. This often causes a deviation between the contact surface of the magnet and the position of the acupoints, resulting in poor knee physiotherapy effects.
[0004] Chinese Patent CN207545453U discloses a knee acupoint template. This involves electronically scanning a patient's knee to obtain three-dimensional data, creating a knee model based on this data, and then fabricating a template body specifically for that patient. Acupoint locations are marked on the template body using an acupoint positioning method, and acupoint openings are created. These openings can be used to install moxibustion boxes, magnetic blocks, or massagers, thus solving the problem of misalignment between the moxibustion box, magnetic block, or massager on the template and the patient's knee. The template structure includes a template body that corresponds to and fits snugly against the user's knee. Several acupoint holes are created on the template body corresponding to the acupoints on the user's knee. The template body includes a front contact portion for fitting and covering the front of the user's knee and side positioning portions for fitting and covering the left and right sides of the user's knee. The disadvantages of this solution are: fabricating customized template bodies for different individuals is complex and cumbersome, the physiotherapy cost is high, treatment is inconvenient, and it is not suitable for knee physiotherapy for ordinary patients. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the problems of existing general-purpose knee physiotherapy devices, such as the physiotherapy points often differing from the acupoints on different patients' knees, resulting in poor knee physiotherapy effects, or the complexity and trouble of making special templates for different people, leading to high physiotherapy costs, inconvenience, and unsuitability for ordinary patients, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an improved multi-functional acupoint positioning knee physiotherapy device that can overcome the shortcomings of prior art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a multifunctional acupoint positioning knee physiotherapy device, including a plate and a leg strap. The plate has several circular openings corresponding to several acupoints on the human knee. The top edge of the circular opening has a raised circle. The knee physiotherapy device also includes several adjusting rings that rotatably engage with the raised circles of the circular openings. The top side of the leg strap has a Velcro side, and the bottom edge of the plate has the other side of the Velcro. The adjusting ring has an eccentric circular opening. The opening wall of the eccentric circular opening has three or more evenly distributed raised ridges. The bottom edge of the adjusting ring has an inwardly concave annular groove that rotatably engages with the raised circle. A hand-tightening set screw is threaded onto the outer wall of the inwardly concave annular groove. The hand-tightening head of the hand-tightening set screw is located outside the adjusting ring.
[0007] The plate described in the above technical solution can have seven circular openings corresponding to the Xuehai, Liangqiu, Neixiyan, Waixiyan, Yinlingquan, Yanglingquan and Zusanli acupoints on the human knee.
[0008] The plate described in the above technical solution can be provided with a patellar opening that can accommodate the patella above the knee of a human body.
[0009] The adjustment ring described in the above technical solution may include an adjustment ring with an eccentricity of an eccentric circular orifice that is equal to or close to zero, in order to adapt to the use when the center of some circular orifices is already very close to the corresponding acupoint.
[0010] The eccentric circular opening described in the above technical solution can be used to insert moxa sticks, strip-shaped magnetic heating boxes, or strip-shaped massagers.
[0011] The Velcro described in the above technical solution may have fine, soft fibers on one side and elastic fibers with barbs on the other side, or it may have elastic fibers with barbs on one side and fine, soft fibers on the other side.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Since the plate and the leg strap are connected by Velcro, after pre-marking the acupoints to be treated on the patient's knee, the circular holes on the plate can be freely moved and adjusted to the optimal positions of all the acupoints to be treated on the patient's knee. Then, the plate is firmly attached to the leg strap. Adjusting rings are then rotated onto the raised circles of the circular holes to adjust the corresponding acupoints so that they are approximately centered on the eccentric circular holes of the adjusting rings. Finally, the hand-tightened set screws are tightened to fix the position of the adjusting rings. Therefore, through the above two-stage center adjustment, a universal plate can be adjusted... All the circular openings on the plate, with their eccentric circular openings forming the therapeutic center, can roughly align with the knee acupoints, which vary in location among different patients, thus achieving a more ideal knee therapeutic effect. Since the leg straps are not hindered by the plate, they can be tightened more securely, resulting in good positioning of the plate. Because the walls of the eccentric circular openings have three or more evenly distributed ridges, when the moxa stick, strip-shaped magnetic heating box, or strip-shaped massager is inserted into the central area formed by these ridges, a breathable pore is created between the outer wall of the moxa stick, strip-shaped magnetic heating box, or strip-shaped massager and the wall of the eccentric circular opening, allowing the knee acupoints to come into contact with outside air during the therapeutic process. This invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has low therapeutic costs, making it suitable for knee therapeutic treatment for a wide range of ordinary patients.
