Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing facility technology, specifically an improved shoulder orthosis. Background Technology

[0002] A modified shoulder orthosis is a device used to treat and support shoulder conditions, injuries, or post-operative recovery. It is designed to reduce the burden on the shoulder, provide stability, and facilitate the rehabilitation process. Shoulder orthoses are generally suitable for conditions such as shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, shoulder fractures, and post-operative recovery. Modified shoulder orthoses are commonly used in the following areas: Rotator cuff tears: For injuries to the rotator cuff tendons, modified shoulder orthoses provide stability to the shoulder joint, prevent overuse, and aid tendon healing. Shoulder dislocations and fractures: For shoulder dislocations or fractures, shoulder orthoses help maintain the joint in the proper position and prevent instability. Post-operative rehabilitation: After shoulder surgery, especially shoulder replacement or rotator cuff repair surgery, modified shoulder orthoses can effectively stabilize the shoulder.

[0003] Most existing shoulder orthoses are single-function devices, mainly focusing on support and fixation, and are insufficient for the needs of conservative treatment or postoperative external fixation. For example, while elastic shoulder braces and clavicle straps are suitable for acute immobilization of clavicle fractures and correction of postural malformations, their functions are limited and cannot meet the treatment needs of various complex shoulder injuries. Currently, there is a lack of a shoulder orthose that can comprehensively address the diverse functional support required for soft tissue injuries of the shoulder joint, conservative treatment of chronic injuries, and postoperative recovery. Therefore, a more comprehensive shoulder orthose is needed, providing multi-level support at different stages of treatment, including but not limited to acute phase fixation, long-term rehabilitation support, and postural correction, to further improve treatment outcomes and enhance patient comfort and ease of use.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an improved shoulder orthosis, including a main back strap 1, with two sets of shoulder connecting straps 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the main back strap 1, and a first shoulder fixing strap 201 and a second shoulder fixing strap 202 fixedly connected to one end of each set of shoulder connecting straps 2, and a connecting rope 205 fixedly connected to the lower end of the first shoulder fixing strap 201 and the second shoulder fixing strap 202, and an arm fixing plate 3 fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rope 205, and the arm fixing plate 3 connected to the shoulder joint fixing plate 301 through a connecting component, wherein the main back strap 1, the first shoulder fixing strap 201 and the second shoulder fixing strap 202 are made of elastic fabric;

[0024] The connecting components include a connecting block 304 fixedly connected to the front wall of the arm fixation plate 3, a connecting groove 306 on the outer wall of the shoulder joint fixation plate 301, a threaded rod 305 inside the connecting groove 306, and a movable groove 308 on the left wall of the arm fixation plate 3.

[0025] Based on the overall structure of the device, it can achieve both conservative treatment and external fixation of the shoulder when fixing the acromioclavicular joint with the main back strap 1 and the side fixation strap 103. It also has an arm fixation plate 3 and a shoulder joint fixation plate 301 for external fixation of the shoulder, making it more versatile and helping to achieve more comprehensive treatment and correction. In addition, it has a first breathable net 101 and a second breathable net 102, as well as a side fixation strap 103, etc. The main material is designed to be elastic fabric, which helps to further improve patient comfort and ease of use.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the main shoulder strap 1 has a first breathable mesh 101 and a second breathable mesh 102 inside.

[0027] By providing a first breathable mesh 101 and a second breathable mesh 102 inside the main shoulder strap 1, breathability can be increased, which helps to improve the patient's experience and comfort during use.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, two sets of side fixing straps 103 are fixedly connected to both ends of the main shoulder strap 1, and one end of the side fixing strap 103 is provided with Velcro 104.

[0029] By using the side fixation strap 103 to fix the body and using Velcro 104 to connect the fixation points, the convenience of actual use for patients can be improved.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a set of first connecting buttons 203 are respectively provided on the outside of the first shoulder fixing strap 201 and the second shoulder fixing strap 202, and the two sets of first connecting buttons 203 are connected by a fixing rope 204.

[0031] By using the first connecting button 203 and the fixing rope 204 to connect and fix the patient's shoulder and clavicle, the stability of the product during fixation can be improved, and it is also easy to disassemble.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the connecting block 304 has a slot with the same inner diameter as the connecting groove 306, and a nut 307 is fitted on the outer end of the connecting groove 306.

[0033] By using the threaded rod 305 to connect the shoulder joint fixation plate 301 and the arm fixation plate 3, it is convenient to adjust the connection between the shoulder and arm bones during fixation, thereby increasing the product's adaptability and comfort.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the arm fixing plate 3 is provided with three sets of second connecting buttons 302, and the outer side of the second connecting buttons 302 is provided with an arm fixing strap 303.

[0035] Connecting the arm fixation strap 303 to the second connecting button 302 helps to secure the arm fixation plate 3 to the patient's arm.

[0036] Working principle: When the patient needs to use the product, the main back strap 1 can be first tightened along the back, and then the side fixing straps 103 are used to fix it to the waist. The Velcro 104 is used for connection, allowing the patient to easily fix and remove the product. Simultaneously, the shoulder connecting strap 2, the first shoulder fixing strap 201, and the second shoulder fixing strap 202 are fixed at the clavicle. The two ends of the fixing rope 204 are gently pressed to the first connecting button 203 to secure them, thus achieving a fixed connection between the first shoulder fixing strap 201 and the second shoulder fixing strap 202. Buckles can also be installed between the fixing ropes 204 to adjust the connection length. When installing the arm fixing plate 3 on the shoulder and arm, the fixation and comfort of the shoulder joint need to be considered. This product uses the arm fixing plate 3 to support the shoulder joint. The lower arm is fixed, and the shoulder joint fixation plate 301 is used to fix the shoulder joint. The shoulder joint fixation plate 301 is adjustable. The shoulder joint fixation plate 301 is connected to the arm fixation plate 3 via a threaded rod 305 and is fixed with a nut 307. When the shoulder joint fixation plate 301 rotates, it will drive the threaded rod 305 to rotate. In addition, a movable groove 308 is opened on the left wall of the arm fixation plate 3 to pre-set the space of the lower corner of the shoulder joint fixation plate 301 when it rotates, so as to avoid the lower corner of the shoulder joint fixation plate 301 intersecting with the arm fixation plate 3 when it rotates, so that it can rotate smoothly and thus make the product suitable for more patients. Finally, the arm fixation strap 303 is connected to the second connecting button 302 to fix the arm fixation plate 3 and the shoulder joint fixation plate 301 to the arm and shoulder joint.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
