Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of joint reduction technology, specifically to a self-reduction auxiliary device for shoulder joint dislocation. Background Technology

[0002] The shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint, is formed by the humeral head of the humerus and the glenoid fossa of the scapula. The glenoid fossa is small and shallow, while the humeral head is relatively large, resulting in a wide range of motion but poor stability. Furthermore, the joint capsule is relatively thin, so excessive range of motion or significant external force can cause the humeral head to slip out of the glenoid fossa, leading to shoulder dislocation. Shoulder dislocation causes shoulder pain and limited range of motion, and can stretch the brachial plexus. Prolonged stretching can cause brachial plexus damage and even upper limb paralysis. Moreover, in young people, the initial dislocation can damage the shoulder joint, making it less stable and more prone to re-dislocation.

[0003] There are many methods for reducing shoulder dislocations. A relatively traditional method is the hand-pull-foot-pull method. This method requires the medical staff to place their foot under the patient's affected armpit and continuously pull on the affected upper limb with both hands, keeping the limb in abduction and external rotation. Once the operator feels slight separation between the dislocated humeral head and the anterior labrum, they simultaneously adduct and internally rotate the upper arm to reduce the dislocation. This method requires the medical staff to stand on one leg, which can easily cause instability and tipping. Furthermore, it requires continuous traction, making the entire process labor-intensive. In cases involving strong, unable-to-relax patients, reduction may not be possible, and anesthesia may be necessary.

[0004] Another method is the self-reduction method. The patient sits on the bed, first supporting the affected hand with the unaffected hand, bending the affected knee, and grasping the affected lower leg with both hands. The wrists are then tightly wrapped and secured to the lower leg with bandages or rope. The head and upper body are then tilted back, the upper limbs relaxed, and the knee is pushed forward, creating continuous traction until the shoulder joint is reduced. This method is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, does not require significant strength from medical personnel, and does not demand advanced skills. The patient can control the entire process, easily alleviating fear. However, current methods often rely on bandages or ropes for fixation, which can cause wrist pain and may result in insecure fixation. Furthermore, it requires assistance from medical personnel, affecting rehabilitation outcomes. Therefore, developing a simple and reliable auxiliary device is of significant practical importance.

The two hand straps 1 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting strap 2 for fixed connection to the patient's arm 4. The leg straps 3 are fixed to the patient's lower leg 5.

[0029] Both the connecting strap 2 and the leg strap 3 are equipped with a fixing structure that cooperates with each other to fix the connecting strap 2 and the leg strap 3 in place.

[0030] In use, first, wrap the leg bandage 3 around the affected lower leg 5. Then, secure the two arm bandages 1 to the forearms of the two arms 4, with the connecting strap 2 positioned between the two arms. Next, bend the knee of the affected side, placing the two arms 4 on either side of the affected lower leg 5, with the connecting strap 2 positioned above the affected lower leg 5. Then, secure the connecting strap 2 to the leg bandage 3 using a fixing structure. Finally, the reduction procedure can be performed.

[0031] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the wrist strap 1 is provided with a first adhesive structure 11 on its front and back sides respectively. The wrist strap 1 is wrapped around the arm 4 and fixed by the first adhesive structure 11 to ensure that the wrist strap 1 can be firmly fixed on the arm 4.

[0032] Furthermore, a second adhesive structure 21 is provided in the middle of the connecting strip 2.

[0033] The leg strap 3 has a third adhesive structure 31 on its front and back sides, which is mutually adhesive. The leg strap 3 is wrapped around the calf 5 and fixed by the third adhesive structure 31 to ensure that the leg strap 3 can be firmly fixed to the calf 5.

[0034] In addition, the second adhesive structure 21 and the third adhesive structure 31 can be bonded together and fixed, which can fix the relative position of the arm 4 and the lower leg 5 during the repositioning operation.

[0035] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the end of the connecting strap 2 is fixed to the middle region of the hand strap 1. Specifically, the connecting strap 2 divides the hand strap 1 into two parts.

[0036] The first adhesive structure 11 includes hook-and-loop fasteners and loop fasteners. The inner side of one end of the wrist strap 1 is fitted with a loop fastener, while the outer side of the other end is fitted with a hook-and-loop fastener. In use, the wrist strap 1 is wrapped around the arm 4 and secured with the hook-and-loop fasteners and loop fasteners. Typically, the inner side is the side closest to the skin. When used, the loop fastener is placed inwards on the arm 4, ensuring comfortable contact with the skin while providing a secure hold on the arm, preventing loosening.

[0037] This design allows the hand strap 1 to be easily adjusted according to the thickness of the patient's arm, ensuring both comfort and a secure fit.

[0038] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the third adhesive structure 31 includes hook-and-loop fasteners and loop fasteners. The inner side of the leg strap 3 is provided with loop fasteners, and the outer side is provided with hook-and-loop fasteners. In use, the leg strap 3 is wrapped around the calf 5 and secured with the hook-and-loop fasteners and loop fasteners. Typically, the inner side is the side closest to the skin. When in use, the loop fasteners are wrapped inwards above the affected calf 5, ensuring comfortable contact with the leg skin, while the fasteners securely fix the leg to the calf, preventing loosening.

[0039] This design allows the leg strap 3 to be easily adjusted according to the thickness of the user's calves, ensuring both comfort and a secure fit.

[0040] Furthermore, the second adhesive structure 21 is a loop fastener and is located on the inward-facing side. The connecting strap 2 and the leg strap 3 are fixed together by the loop fastener of the second adhesive structure 21 and the hook fastener of the third adhesive structure 31.

[0041] In this embodiment, the hand straps 1, connecting straps 2, and leg straps 3 are all made of soft, breathable, and relatively strong materials, such as high-quality nylon fabric. The Velcro is selected for its good adhesion and durability to ensure good adhesive performance even after multiple uses.

[0042] The method of using the shoulder joint dislocation self-reduction auxiliary device provided by this utility model includes:

[0043] First, attach the leg bandage 3 to the upper part of the affected calf, ensuring the loop side of the Velcro faces inward and the hook side faces outward. After adjusting the position, secure it firmly to ensure the stability of the leg bandage on the calf.

[0044] Next, secure both arms with wrist strap 1, ensuring the loop side of the Velcro faces inward and the hook side faces outward, and adjust the tightness according to the size of your wrists.

[0045] Furthermore, the hook and loop fastener of the connecting strap 2 is fixed to the hook and loop fastener of the leg strap 3, thereby achieving the connection and fixation between the arms and the affected lower leg.

[0046] Finally, tilt your head and upper body back, relax your upper limbs, and push your knees forward to create continuous traction until your shoulder joint returns to its normal position.

[0047] This method is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, does not require strong medical personnel, and does not demand advanced skills. The patient can control the entire process independently without the assistance of medical staff. Furthermore, this assistive device will not cause additional damage to the wrist, reducing pain and discomfort during the repositioning process.

[0048] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
