Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical assistive device technology, specifically to a portable, simple, multifunctional posture-enhancing pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Stroke is a life-threatening acute and critical illness. Although patients with mild hemiplegia can still move, they often walk with their upper limbs flexed and their lower limbs extended. The paralyzed lower limbs make a half-circle motion with each step. This special walking posture is called hemiplegic gait, so wheelchairs are needed in the daily lives of hemiplegic patients.

[0003] When using a traditional wheelchair, the patient with hemiplegia sits in the wheelchair with their hip joint in an externally rotated position and their upper limb resting directly on the wheelchair armrests. This results in a lack of support for the upper limb, which can lead to shoulder joint depression, causing shoulder-hand syndrome or shoulder dislocation, thus affecting the patient's subsequent rehabilitation.

[0004] Proper limb positioning is a method for preventing limb complications after hemiplegia following stroke. It is an internationally recognized best postural therapy technique with advantages such as anti-spasticity, prevention of shoulder subluxation, prevention of flexion deformity of the affected upper limb, and prevention of pressure sores. This technique has been widely used in clinical practice.

[0005] However, in practice, proper limb positioning still has significant drawbacks. For convenience, hospitals often use readily available materials, such as ordinary sleep pillows, as support. However, these pillows are short, prone to slipping, and lack stability, resulting in only a temporary effect with minimal benefits. To achieve the desired outcome, nurses and family members must constantly correct patients' poor posture, which not only increases their workload significantly but also prevents patients from getting adequate rest, prolonging their recovery time and hindering their recovery process. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model aims to provide a portable, simple, multifunctional posture-enhancing pillow that can meet the posture requirements of hemiplegic patients in different scenarios, and is highly stable, easy to operate, and low in cost.

[0007] The main idea of ​​the technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: a support pad 1 and a support pad 2 that can be detachably installed into various shapes are designed. There are two support pads 2, each with two sets of zipper teeth on the inclined surface, which cooperate with the two sets of zipper teeth on each side of the support pad 1. The three are completely connected and can be used for hemiplegic patients in a sitting position. It can help fix the patient's lower limb in a neutral position and prevent hip abduction and external rotation. In order to prevent shoulder joint dislocation, an extension plate is slidably set on one side of the support pad 1. When the patient's upper limb is placed on this brace, the support pad 1 can support the elbow joint, and the extension plate can allow the patient to extend the wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A portable, simple, multi-functional posture-enhancing pillow includes a detachably connected support pad one and a support pad two. The two sides of the support pad one are inclined surfaces, and two sets of zipper teeth are provided on both sides of each inclined surface.

[0010] One side of the second support pad is a slope, which matches the slope angle of the first support pad, and two sets of zipper teeth are provided on both sides of the slope.

[0011] Furthermore, the support pad is provided with a receiving groove, and a telescopic rod is provided in the receiving groove.

[0012] Furthermore, through the above technical solution, the inner rod of the telescopic rod is connected to the receiving groove, and the outer rod is connected to an extension plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the above technical solution provides that the two sides of the support pad are provided with fixing straps.

[0014] Furthermore, through the above technical solution, two support pads are provided, symmetrically connected to both sides of the support pad one.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] The inventors' research found that when using traditional wheelchairs, hemiplegic patients sit in the wheelchair with their hip joints in an externally rotated position, and their upper limbs resting directly on the wheelchair's armrests. This results in a lack of support for the upper limbs, leading to shoulder joint depression, causing shoulder-hand syndrome or shoulder dislocation, which affects the patient's subsequent rehabilitation.

[0028] Based on the above findings, this application proposes a portable, simple, multifunctional posture-enhancing pillow. It is designed with detachable support pad 1 and support pad 2 3 that can be installed in various shapes. There are two support pads 2 3, each with two sets of zipper teeth 2 on its inclined surface, which cooperate with the two sets of zipper teeth 2 on each side of support pad 1 1. The three are fully connected and can be used for hemiplegic patients in a seated position. This helps to fix the lower limbs in a neutral position and prevent hip abduction and external rotation. To prevent shoulder dislocation, an extension plate 103 is slidably installed on one side of support pad 1 1. When the patient's upper limb is placed on this support, support pad 1 1 supports the elbow joint, and extension plate 103 allows the patient to extend the wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] See Figure 1 - Figure 4 This application discloses a portable, simple, multi-functional posture-enhancing pillow, including a support pad 1. The support pad 1 has a cubic structure, with two sides set as inclined surfaces at an angle of 45°. A set of zipper teeth 2 is provided on each side of the inclined surface for combination with other zipper teeth 2.

[0031] Support pad 2 (3) is a cuboid structure with one face set as an inclined plane, and the angle matches that of support pad 1 (1). The two support pads 2 (3) are respectively positioned on both sides of support pad 1 (1), with the inclined planes contacting each other to form a "∏" shape. Support pad 1 (1) and support pad 2 (3) have the same width.

[0032] To connect with support pad 1, support pad 2 3 has a set of zipper teeth 2 connected to each side of the inclined surface by fabric strips. The zipper teeth 2 on the inner side of the two support pads 2 3 are connected to the zipper teeth 2 on the inner side of support pad 1, and the zipper teeth 2 on the outer side of the two support pads 2 3 are connected to the zipper teeth 2 on the outer side of support pad 1, making the structure stable and able to maintain its shape.

[0033] The inner layer of support pad 1 and support pad 2 is made of hard plastic, and the middle layer is made of thick sponge material, which makes the user experience better and more comfortable. The outer layer is covered with a protective cover to prevent the internal structure from getting dirty and to facilitate disassembly, washing and disinfection.

[0034] The front side of the support pad 1 has a receiving groove 101, inside which a telescopic rod 102 is installed. The inner rod of the telescopic rod 102 is fixedly connected to the depth of the receiving groove 101, and the outer rod is slidably connected to the inner rod. An extension plate 103 is installed on the outer rod to support the patient's forearm and hand. Considering that the height of the extension plate 103 is lower than that of the support pad 1, a placement groove is opened on the rear side of the support pad 1 for placing a height-increasing pad. The height-increasing pad is equipped with an elastic band. When the extension plate 103 is needed, the height-increasing pad can be fixed to the extension plate 103 by the elastic band to make the height consistent.

[0035] To prevent the extension plate 103 from sliding out on its own, an elastic cord and a buckle are provided on the protective sleeve corresponding to the receiving groove 101. When the extension plate 103 is needed, the elastic cord and the buckle can be separated.

[0036] To prevent shoulder dislocation in stroke patients while seated, the assembled support pad 1 and two support pads 2 3 can be mounted on a wheelchair or a chair with armrests. Stroke patients often experience weakened muscles around the shoulder joint, causing the upper limb to droop naturally due to gravity. Prolonged poor posture can lead to shoulder dislocation, shoulder-hand syndrome, and other conditions. By placing the upper limb on this brace and extending the extension plate 103 outwards, not only can the elbow joint be supported, but the wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints can also be extended.

[0037] At the same time, one of the support pads compresses the patient's paralyzed leg, which can help fix the lower limb in a neutral position and prevent hip abduction and external rotation.

[0038] When the patient is seated and has other braces for the upper limbs, the zippers on the inside of the two support pads 2 3 can be opened to allow the support pad 1 and the two support pads 2 3 to be unfolded horizontally and used as a lumbar support pillow.

[0039] To improve the stability of the brace on the wheelchair or seat, two fixing straps 301 are provided on the front and rear sides of the support pad 2 3. These straps 301 can be fixed to the legs of the wheelchair or seat to prevent the brace from slipping off and affecting its performance.

[0040] The assembled support pad 1 and two support pads 2 3 can also be used for patients with high muscle tone. When sleeping on their side, they can be placed in the middle of their thighs to prevent adductor muscle tension.

[0041] It can also be placed on the bed to support the ankle joint and keep it in a neutral position to prevent foot drop. In this case, connect support pad 1 and support pad 2 to form a right angle, put the patient's foot in, and connect the straps on both sides of support pad 2 to form initial fixation of the foot and improve stability.

[0042] Application Cases

[0043] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0044] 1. To prevent shoulder dislocation in stroke patients while seated, the assembled support pad 1 and two support pads 2 3 can be installed on a wheelchair or chair with armrests. The upper limb can be placed on this brace, and the extension plate 103 can be pulled outwards to support not only the elbow joint but also extend the wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints. The fixing straps 301 on both sides are secured to the legs of the wheelchair or chair to prevent the brace from slipping and affecting its effectiveness.

[0045] At the same time, one of the support pads compresses the patient's paralyzed leg, which can help fix the lower limb in a neutral position and prevent hip abduction and external rotation.
