[0012] Preferably, the gasket is made of sponge material and the base plate is made of rigid plastic material.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In this forearm neutral position fixation device, the sliding fit design of the support component and the grip assembly allows users to flexibly adjust the grip position according to their needs, and a locking bolt ensures a secure fixation, guaranteeing that the forearm remains in a neutral position throughout activity. Simultaneously, the straps further enhance the device's fixation effect, preventing the forearm from deviating from the ideal position, effectively promoting the rehabilitation process and reducing the risk of injury aggravation.

[0015] Furthermore, this invention fully considers user comfort in its material selection and detailed design. The base plate is made of hard plastic, ensuring the device's sturdiness and durability; while the pads are made of sponge material, which is soft and skin-friendly, effectively reducing skin discomfort and pressure pain caused by prolonged wear.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] This utility model provides a forearm neutral position fixation device, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a support component 1, a grip component 2 slidably disposed at one end of the support component 1, a strap 3 connected to the top of the support component 1, the support component 1 includes a base plate 11, arc-shaped plates 12 are installed on both sides of the base plate 11, an insertion hole 14 is provided at one end of the base plate 11, the grip component 2 includes a sliding plate 21, the sliding plate 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 14 and locked and fixed by a locking bolt 15, and a hand-held component is installed on the top of the sliding plate 21.

[0025] In this embodiment, a pad 13 is installed on the top surface of the base plate 11 to support the bottom of the forearm and ensure comfort.

[0026] Specifically, the upper outer wall of the handheld handle 23 is provided with an anti-slip arc surface 231 to provide an anti-slip effect.

[0027] Furthermore, a threaded sleeve 22 is installed on the top of the sliding plate 21 near the handheld component. The handheld component is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 22, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the handheld component.

[0028] Furthermore, the hand-held component is a hand-held lever 23, with a threaded end at the bottom. A threaded sleeve 22 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the hand-held lever 23. The hand-held lever 23 is used for hand gripping, keeping the forearm in a neutral position at all times.

[0029] Furthermore, the handheld component is a gripping ball 24, with a threaded rod 241 installed at the bottom end of the gripping ball 24. The threaded rod 241 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 22. The gripping ball 24 is used for hand gripping, allowing patients to make fist movements during their leisure time, thereby promoting blood circulation.

[0030] Furthermore, an elbow positioning plate 4 is installed at the end of the support component 1 away from the grip component 2 to facilitate elbow support and positioning.

[0031] Furthermore, the pad 13 is made of sponge material, which is soft and skin-friendly, effectively reducing skin discomfort and pressure pain caused by prolonged wear. The base plate 11 is made of hard plastic material, ensuring the device is sturdy and durable.

[0032] When using this forearm neutral position fixing device, first place the device under the forearm so that the base plate 11 contacts the bottom of the forearm, and the arc-shaped plate 12 conforms to the contours of both sides of the forearm, providing stable support for the forearm. At this time, the pad 13, as a soft and skin-friendly cushioning layer, effectively reduces skin discomfort and pressure pain caused by prolonged wear, ensuring user comfort.

[0033] Next, adjust the position of the grip component 2 according to the user's personal needs. By sliding the sliding plate 21, it is made to engage with the insertion hole 14 at one end of the base plate 11. Then, the sliding plate 21 is locked and fixed with the locking bolt 15 to ensure that the grip component 2 can remain stable after being adjusted.

[0034] At the top of the sliding plate 21, the user can choose to install a handheld lever 23 or a grip ball 24 as a handheld component. The bottom end of the handheld lever 23 is threaded and threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 22 at the top of the sliding plate 21, facilitating disassembly and installation. The upper outer wall of the handheld lever 23 has an anti-slip curved surface 231, providing a non-slip effect and allowing the user to grip it stably. The grip ball 24 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 22 via a threaded rod 241 at its bottom end, also facilitating disassembly and installation. The design of the grip ball 24 not only makes it easy for the user to hold but also allows the patient to clench their fist during leisure time, promoting blood circulation.

[0035] Finally, the device is hung below the patient's neck using strap 3 to further enhance the fixation of the forearm and prevent forearm displacement during activity. An elbow positioning plate 4, mounted on the end of the support component 1 away from the grip assembly 2, provides support and positioning for the elbow, ensuring the forearm maintains an optimal neutral position during fixation.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
