Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical assistive device technology, specifically relating to a head orthosis. Background Technology

[0002] Neck exercises help with surgical wound healing and functional recovery, such as flexion-extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending movements. To improve the overall rehabilitation effect of patients after total thyroidectomy, orthoses can be added to assist in movement and enhance patients' enthusiasm for rehabilitation training. However, most orthoses on the market are designed for patients with cervical spondylosis, which are not good at assisting neck rehabilitation training and have a relatively complex structure that is inconvenient to wear. Therefore, a new type of head orthose is designed to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects. Utility Model Content

[0003] (1) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a head orthosis, which aims to solve the technical problems of poor neck rehabilitation training assistance and complex structure and inconvenient wearing of the existing orthosis.

[0005] (2) Technical solution

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a head orthosis comprising a girdle with a tightening strap on its outer surface. The two ends of the tightening strap are fixedly connected to the two ends of the girdle. A spring buckle is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the tightening strap. An elastic fabric ring is inlaid on the outer surface of the girdle, and a right neck brace and a left neck brace are respectively mounted on the outer surface of the elastic fabric ring. Mounting holes are provided at both ends of the left neck brace, and fixing straps are mounted at both ends of the right neck brace. The fixing straps are slidably mounted inside the mounting holes, with the end of the fixing strap furthest from the right neck brace sewn... The neck brace is fitted with Velcro. Both the right and left neck braces have retaining rings on their outer surfaces, with strong springs inside the retaining rings. A lock seat is installed on the outer surface of the surrounding fabric, and a perforated strip is slidably installed inside the lock seat. A positioning ring is installed at the end of the perforated strip near the elastic fabric ring, and the end of the strong spring away from the elastic fabric ring is installed on the inner wall of the positioning ring. A through hole is opened on the outer surface of the perforated strip, and a pin is slidably installed inside the through hole. A tension spring is sleeved on the outside of the pin, and the two ends of the tension spring are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lock seat and the pin head, respectively.

[0007] When using the orthosis with this technical solution, the patient's head is pulled down from the head, passing through the elastic fabric loop. At this point, the right and left neck braces are positioned on either side of the patient's neck. Next, the fixing straps are passed through the mounting holes and pulled back to tighten them, ensuring the right and left neck braces fit snugly against the patient's neck and are secured. Then, the tightening straps are pulled to tighten both ends, securing the orthosis to the patient's body. A spring buckle is used for fixation. The simple structure allows for quick donning of the orthosis. Two strong springs lower and tighten the right and left neck braces, placing the patient's neck in a neutral position. When the patient is standing and undergoing rehabilitation training involving neck flexion, extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending, the patient's neck moves with the right and left neck braces. Under the action of the strong spring force, resistance is generated on the patient's neck, achieving the purpose of resistance training. Pulling the insert causes its bottom end to be pulled out of the perforated strip. Then, pulling the perforated strip in the locking seat moves it away from the strong spring. The movement of the perforated strip tightens the strong spring, increasing the resistance of the right and left neck braces. This allows the orthosis to freely adjust the resistance level, making it suitable for different patients to carry out resistance rehabilitation training.

[0008] Preferably, a pull ring is installed at the end of the perforated strip away from the positioning ring. The pull ring makes the perforated strip easy to pull and prevents the user from slipping when pulling the perforated strip.

[0009] Furthermore, a temperature-controlled electric heating cloth is installed on the outer surface of the elastic cloth ring. This cloth, when placed against the back of the patient's neck, heats the area, promotes blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and reduces discomfort during training.

[0010] Furthermore, sleeves are sewn onto the outer surface of the apron, and the sleeves are made of elastic woven fabric. The sleeves allow the patient to wear the apron directly on their arm, increasing its stability when worn.

[0011] Furthermore, two hook-and-loop fasteners are sewn onto the outer surface of the fastening strap. These fasteners can be attached to the outside of the fastening strap to reinforce it.

[0012] Furthermore, a triangular plug is installed at the end of the securing strap furthest from the right neck brace, and the outer surface of the triangular plug is textured with anti-slip material. This triangular plug facilitates the insertion of the securing strap into the mounting hole for installation.

[0013] Furthermore, both the right and left cervical collars have foam pads installed on their outer surfaces. These foam pads make the right and left cervical collars more comfortable to use when in contact with and fixed to the patient.

[0014] (3) Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention involves pulling the apron down from the head, allowing the patient's head to pass through the elastic loop. At this point, the right and left neck braces are positioned on either side of the patient's neck. The fixing strap is then pulled back through the mounting hole to tighten the apron, securing it against the patient's neck. The tightening strap is then pulled at both ends to secure the apron to the patient's body, using spring buckles for fixation. This simple structure allows for quick donning of the orthosis. Two strong springs lower and tighten the right and left neck braces, placing the patient's neck in a neutral position. During rehabilitation training involving neck flexion, extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending, the patient's neck moves with the right and left neck braces. The strong spring force creates resistance, achieving resistance training. Pulling the pin pulls its bottom end out of the perforated strip. Then, pulling the perforated strip moves it away from the strong spring in the locking seat. This movement tightens the strong spring, increasing the resistance of the right and left neck braces, allowing the orthosis to freely adjust the resistance level, making it suitable for different patients undergoing resistance rehabilitation training.

A tension spring 15 is sleeved on the outside of the pin 16, and the two ends of the tension spring 15 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lock seat 13 and the pin head of the pin 16, respectively.

[0026] A pull ring 14 is installed at the end of the perforated strip 12 away from the positioning ring 11. The pull ring 14 makes the perforated strip 12 easy to pull and prevents the user from slipping when holding the perforated strip 12. A temperature-controlled electric heating cloth 21 is installed on the outer surface of the elastic cloth ring 8. The temperature-controlled electric heating cloth 21 is installed to heat the back of the patient's neck, promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce discomfort caused by training. A sleeve 4 is sewn onto the outer surface of the apron 1, and the sleeve 4 is made of elastic woven fabric. The sleeve 4 allows the patient to wear it directly on their arm, increasing the stability of the apron 1 when worn. Two hook and loop fasteners 18 are sewn onto the outer surface of the fixing strap 17. The hook and loop fasteners 18 can be attached to the outside of the fixing strap 17 to reinforce the fixing strap 17. A triangular plug 20 is installed at the end of the fixing strap 17 away from the right neck brace 5, and the outer surface of the triangular plug 20 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0028] Working principle: When using the orthosis of this technical solution, the patient's head is pulled down from the head by the apron 1, and the head passes through the elastic cloth ring 8. At this time, the right neck brace 5 and the left neck brace 7 are located on both sides of the patient's neck. Then, the fixing strap 17 is passed through the mounting hole 22 and pulled in the opposite direction to tighten it, so that the right neck brace 5 and the left neck brace 7 are close to the patient's neck and fixed. Then, the tightening strap 3 is pulled to tighten both ends to fix the apron 1 to the patient's body. It is fixed with spring buckles 2. The simple structure allows the orthosis to be put on quickly. Under the action of two strong springs 10, the right neck brace 5 and the left neck brace 7 are lowered and tightened, so that the patient's neck is in a position of tension. In a neutral position, during rehabilitation training of the patient's neck flexion, extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending, the patient's neck moves with the right cervical brace 5 and left cervical brace 7. Under the elastic force of the strong spring 10, resistance is generated on the patient's neck to achieve the purpose of resistance training. Pulling the insert 16 causes its bottom end to be pulled out of the perforated strip 12. Then, pulling the perforated strip 12 moves it away from the strong spring 10 in the locking seat 13. The movement of the perforated strip 12 tightens the strong spring 10, increasing the resistance of the right cervical brace 5 and left cervical brace 7, allowing the orthosis to freely adjust the resistance level, making it suitable for different patients to carry out resistance rehabilitation training.

[0029] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0030] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
