Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of foot drop orthotics, specifically an orthotics suitable for foot drop. Background Technology

[0002] Foot drop, usually caused by nerve damage, muscle disease, or central nervous system lesions, prevents patients from actively performing ankle dorsiflexion. This results in a drooping, dragging gait with the foot. Statistics show that in my country alone, the number of patients with foot drop due to various causes is increasing annually. For example, approximately 30%-40% of patients with sequelae of cerebrovascular accidents experience varying degrees of foot drop, severely impacting their daily living abilities, independence, and quality of life.

[0003] Orthoses are an important assistive device in the rehabilitation treatment of foot drop. Early foot drop orthoses were relatively simple in structure, mostly rigid braces with a fixed shape, which could only provide basic foot support and restricted the natural movement of the ankle joint. They could not meet the individual needs of different patients for ankle joint mobility during the rehabilitation process. For example, traditional plastic foot braces, although they can prevent foot drop to some extent, prevent the ankle joint from flexing and extending during walking, resulting in a stiff and unnatural gait. Long-term use may also cause atrophy of the muscles around the joint, further affecting the rehabilitation effect.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an orthosis suitable for foot drop. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art, an orthosis suitable for foot drop is proposed.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The orthosis for foot drop includes an orthotic frame and a first connecting rod. A connecting plate is movably installed on one side of the orthotic frame, a fixing mechanism is provided on the top of the connecting plate, linkage components are provided on both sides of the connecting plate, rotating components are provided on both sides of the orthotic frame, tensioning components are provided on both sides of the orthotic frame, and a connecting component is provided on the inner side of the orthotic frame. Two sets of the first connecting rod are provided, rotatably installed on both sides of the orthotic frame, with the side of the first connecting rod away from the orthotic frame rotatably installed with both sides of the connecting plate. The first connecting rod ensures that a certain distance is always maintained between the connecting plate and the orthotic frame, ensuring that the patient's foot perfectly fits the connecting plate, thereby helping them recover quickly.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a silicone pad, a fixing block, and a first strap. The silicone pad is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate, the fixing block is fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting plate, and the fixing block is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block. In this solution, the silicone pad can play a cushioning role, improving the patient's comfort when wearing it and reducing the patient's resistance. The combination of the fixing block and the first strap can firmly fix the connecting plate to the patient's foot.

[0008] Preferably, the linkage component includes a rotating pin and a second link. The rotating pin is fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting plate, and the end of the rotating pin away from the connecting plate is rotatably installed with the second link. In this scheme, the cooperation between the rotating pin and the second link can be adjusted according to the movement angle of the fourth link, so that the connecting plate can be pulled by the fourth link, thereby achieving the correction effect.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a third link and a limiting block. Two sets of the third link are provided, and the two sets of the third link are rotatably installed on both sides of the top of the orthosis. The bottom of the inner wall of the third link is fixedly installed with the limiting block. In this scheme, the third link can pull the connecting plate by cooperating with the fourth link, so that the connecting plate has an upward force, thereby relieving the patient's foot drop. The limiting block can limit the fourth link to prevent it from excessively contracting.

[0010] Preferably, the tensioning assembly includes a fourth link and a tension spring. The tension spring is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the third link, and the end of the tension spring away from the third link is fixedly installed with the fourth link. The fourth link is slidably installed on the inner wall of the third link. In this design, the tension spring can pull the fourth link to move through its own tension, so that the fourth link can pull the connecting plate to move, ensuring the high efficiency of patient recovery.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a second strap and a circular pad. The second strap is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the orthosis, and the circular pad is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner side of the orthosis. In this configuration, the second strap can fix the orthosis to the patient's lower leg, and the circular pad can reduce the pressure on the patient's heel, making it more comfortable.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. The orthosis for foot drop described in this utility model, through the arrangement of a first connecting rod, a silicone pad, a fixing block, and a first strap, enables the first connecting rod to maintain a certain distance between the connecting plate and the orthosis frame at all times, ensuring that the patient's foot can perfectly fit the connecting plate, thereby helping the patient to recover quickly. The silicone pad can play a cushioning role, improving the patient's comfort when wearing it and reducing the patient's resistance. The combination of the fixing block and the first strap can firmly fix the connecting plate to the patient's foot.

[0014] 2. The orthosis for foot drop described in this utility model, through the setting of a rotating pin and a second connecting rod, allows the cooperation between the rotating pin and the second connecting rod to be adjusted according to the movement angle of the fourth connecting rod, so that the connecting plate can be pulled by the fourth connecting rod, thereby achieving the corrective effect.
