Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to medical health equipment field, especially in improving the auxiliary glove of idiopathic tremor hand movement dysfunction. BACKGROUND

[0002] Essential tremor (also known as idiopathic tremor) is a common movement disorder, characterized by postural or kinetic tremor of the upper limbs, which can be accompanied by tremor of the lower limbs, head, oral cavity or voice. As one of the most common movement disorders in clinical practice, the recovery of idiopathic tremor of the hand is often treated with a finger force exerciser as disclosed in CN210159176U for finger grip training. The applicant found that the current finger force exercise is mostly connected with a spring at the finger position (fixed plate) of the glove. This arrangement has a certain effect on finger force exercise, but since the constraint on the fingers is mainly concentrated on the upper half of the fingers, the spring force is insufficient to effectively constrain the fingers when the fingers are naturally relaxed. When the spring force is small, the constraint on the hand tremor is limited, and when the spring force is large, it is easy to cause discomfort in the upper segment of the fingers after a long time. Therefore, the existing exercise gloves have limited active constraint effect on idiopathic tremor of the hand, and the flexibility is insufficient. SUMMARY

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an auxiliary glove for improving idiopathic tremor hand movement dysfunction, which changes the connection mode of the first elastic member, effectively solving the existing problems.
