Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of medical rehabilitation, in particular to a shoulder surgery postoperative rehabilitation protector. BACKGROUND

[0002] Shoulder rotator cuff injury is a common shoulder disease, which usually needs to be repaired through surgery. The postoperative rehabilitation process is divided into three stages of fixation, passive / active activity and strength training. In the early stage of rehabilitation, fixation is mainly used to promote tissue healing, reduce inflammation and pain, and protect the repaired part from secondary injury. Therefore, the body position of the affected limb is particularly important. Suitable rehabilitation protectors can significantly improve the recovery effect and comfort of patients.

[0003] Traditional rehabilitation protectors are difficult to adapt to patients of different body types and different body positions, such as patients with short upper arms and women with large breasts. During use, it is easy to cause discomfort such as excessive abduction, unstable support and chest compression; in addition, the elbow joint and upper arm lack support and protection when lying flat after surgery, making it difficult to maintain the support requirements of the postoperative shoulder joint in flexion, abduction and internal rotation, resulting in joint instability, wound pain and affecting the postoperative rehabilitation effect. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Based on the above problems, the application provides a shoulder surgery postoperative rehabilitation protector, which is used to adapt to patients with short upper arms and women with large breasts of different body types and different body positions, and meets the support requirements of the postoperative shoulder joint in flexion, abduction and internal rotation.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the application is:

[0006] A shoulder surgery postoperative rehabilitation protector, comprising an arm placement table, a fitting part connected to the arm placement table, an elbow support block connected to the arm placement table and the fitting part on the arm placement table and the fitting part, and a locking structure provided on the fitting part.

[0007] In a specific implementable scheme, the fitting part is provided with an arc on the side close to the body, the top of the fitting part is high at one end and low at the other end, and the height of the high end and the low end of the fitting part gradually decreases.

[0008] In a specific implementable scheme, the top of the arm placement table is arranged in a slope, and a fixing belt for fixing the arm is arranged on the arm placement table.

[0009] In a specific implementable scheme, the elbow support block is connected to the arm placement table and the fitting part through a magic tape.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, the locking structure comprises a waistband arranged in two halves, wherein one half of the waistband is provided with Velcro at the connection with the other half of the waistband, and the waistband is provided with a strap, and the strap is provided with an adjusting buckle for adjusting the length of the strap.

[0011] In a specific embodiment, the strap is divided into two parts, one part of the strap is connected with one half of the waistband, and the other part of the strap is connected with the other half of the waistband, the end of the one part of the strap is provided with a buckle, and the end of the other part of the strap is provided with a pin matched with the buckle.

[0012] The positive effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0013] By setting the fitting part to have an arc shape on the side close to the body, and designing the top end to be higher and the other end to be lower, the fitting part can better fit patients of different body types, especially women with larger breasts and men with larger abdomens. This design can reduce the loosening or compression discomfort of the protective device during use, thereby improving the comfort and rehabilitation effect of the patient. The protective device is designed with an arm placement table, and an elbow support block is connected to the arm placement table. This design not only provides support for the neck and shoulders, but also pays special attention to the support needs of the elbow joint when lying down. Patients can place their arms and elbows in the appropriate position, avoiding fatigue and discomfort caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
