Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation braces, specifically to rehabilitation braces for cruciate ligament injuries. Background Technology

[0002] The cruciate ligaments are crucial structures for maintaining knee joint stability. Injury to them leads to knee instability, accelerates the degeneration of articular cartilage and the meniscus, and increases the likelihood of damage to other joint structures. Biomechanical studies have shown that the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is twice as strong against external forces as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). As a vital structure within the knee joint, PCL injury often results in decreased knee stability, leading to secondary meniscus and cartilage damage and osteoarthritis. In severe cases, it can cause knee joint disease, necessitating bracing for PCL reconstruction and rehabilitation. This bracing helps prevent the tibia from being subjected to gravity after surgery, providing support to the posterior aspect of the tibia and counteracting the effects of gravity, thus accelerating the patient's recovery after PCL reconstruction.

[0003] In existing technologies, cruciate ligament injury rehabilitation braces have a fixed structure and cannot be adjusted according to the user's leg length, resulting in poor practicality. Furthermore, it is difficult to visually check the binding force during use, leading to insufficient binding force, which fails to achieve the desired support effect, or excessive binding force, which obstructs blood flow and poses a risk of secondary injury, making them unsuitable for use.

A lower guard plate 9 is installed on the end of the second support plate 7 away from the angle adjustment plate 1 through a second adjustment mechanism 8. A second protective mechanism 10 is provided on the facing sides of the front and rear lower guard plates 9. A second binding mechanism 11 is provided on the lower guard plates 9 near the top and bottom. A pedometer 12 is provided at the middle of the rear side of the upper guard plate 4.

[0022] Specifically, the first adjustment mechanism 3 includes a pin hole 301 and a pin shaft 302. The first support plate 2 is provided with pin holes 301 evenly spaced vertically. The first support plate 2 is inserted into the upper guard plate 4. The upper guard plate 4 is provided with a pin shaft 302, and the pin shaft 302 is inserted into the pin hole 301.

[0023] In this embodiment, the pin 302 is inserted into the pin holes 301 at different heights on the first support plate 2 to achieve the effect of adjusting the height of the upper guard plate 4.

[0024] Specifically, the second adjustment mechanism 8 has the same structure as the first adjustment mechanism 3.

[0025] In this embodiment, the second adjustment mechanism 8 can adjust the height of the lower guard plate 9.

[0026] Specifically, the first protective mechanism 5 includes an airbag 501, an air tube 502, and a mechanical pressure gauge 503. The airbag 501 is fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the front and rear upper guard plates 4, and an air tube 502 is provided on the front upper guard plate 4 corresponding to the front airbag 501. The air tube 502 connects the airbag 501 to the mechanical pressure gauge 503, which is installed on the front side of the front upper guard plate 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, the airbag 501 is softer and fits the skin more comfortably. The airbag 501 will fit the leg. The gas in the airbag 501 passes through the air tube 502 to the mechanical pressure gauge 503, which displays the air pressure, so as to check the binding force of the first binding mechanism 6.

[0028] Specifically, the second protective mechanism 10 has the same structure as the first protective mechanism 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, the second protective mechanism 10 can check the binding force of the second binding mechanism 11.

[0030] Specifically, the first binding mechanism 6 includes an elastic strap 601, a first guide sleeve 602, a second guide sleeve 603, and a Velcro strap 604. The left end of the elastic strap 601 is fixedly installed on the front side of the front upper guard plate 4. The first guide sleeve 602 is installed on the rear side of the rear upper guard plate 4. The second guide sleeve 603 is fixedly installed on the front side of the front upper guard plate 4. The elastic strap 601 is inserted into the first guide sleeve 602 and the second guide sleeve 603. The right end of the elastic strap 601 is connected and fixed to the left end of the elastic strap 601 through the Velcro strap 604. The second binding mechanism 11 has the same structure as the first binding mechanism 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, the right end of the elastic strap 601 passes through the first guide sleeve 602 and the second guide sleeve 603 in sequence, so that the right end of the elastic strap 601 is attached to the outside of the left end by Velcro 604, thereby binding the front and rear upper guard plates 4 to the legs with the elastic strap 601.

[0032] In use, the height of the upper guard plate 4 is adjusted by inserting the pin 302 of the first adjustment mechanism 3 into the pin holes 301 of different heights on the first support plate 2, according to the patient's leg length. Similarly, the height of the lower guard plate 9 can be adjusted by the second adjustment mechanism 8, so that the front and rear upper guard plates 4 and the front and rear lower guard plates 9 fit snugly against the thigh and calf on the front and rear sides of the knee. The right end of the elastic strap 601 in the first binding mechanism 6 passes through the first guide sleeve 602 and the second guide sleeve 603 in sequence, and the right end of the elastic strap 601 is attached to the outside of the left end by the Velcro 604, thereby binding the front and rear upper guard plates 4 to the front and rear sides of the thigh above the knee. Similarly, the front and rear lower guard plates 9 are bound by the second binding mechanism 11. The brace is strapped to the front and back sides of the lower leg below the knee. During the binding process, the airbag 501 in the first protective mechanism 5 is softer and fits the skin more comfortably. The airbag 501 is pressed tightly against the thigh by the upper protective plate 4. The gas in the airbag 501 passes through the air tube 502 to the mechanical pressure gauge 503, which displays the air pressure, thus allowing the user to check the binding force of the first binding mechanism 6. Similarly, the second protective mechanism 10 checks the binding force of the second binding mechanism 11, allowing for a direct view of the binding force. The binding force can be adjusted to achieve a moderate binding force, resulting in better support and facilitating rehabilitation training. The pedometer 12 adds a counting function to the brace, allowing for a direct view of the training progress, making it highly practical.

[0033] In summary, this auxiliary cruciate ligament injury rehabilitation brace allows for adjustment of the upper and lower positions of the upper guard plate 4 and the lower guard plate 9, thus accommodating users with various leg lengths. It also allows for intuitive monitoring of the binding force, ensuring moderate binding strength and better support, facilitating rehabilitation training. Furthermore, the addition of a counting function enhances its practicality.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
