Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports protection technology, specifically to a trident-shaped dynamic kinesiology patch for the shoulder. Background Technology

[0002] Kinesiology tape is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that uses specially designed elastic tape applied to the skin to produce mechanical and neurophysiological effects, thereby protecting the musculoskeletal system, promoting motor function, or achieving other therapeutic goals. It is currently widely used in sports medicine and rehabilitation medicine, providing extra support and protection for muscles and joints, reducing the risk of injury. After exercise, muscles experience fatigue and soreness; kinesiology tape can improve local blood circulation and promote the removal of metabolic waste, thus relieving muscle fatigue.

[0003] Shoulder kinesiology tape is highly effective in relieving shoulder pain, improving range of motion, and enhancing shoulder function. However, the shoulder has many muscles, and existing kinesiology tapes are typically strips or pre-cut individual pieces applied to different muscle groups. This often results in gaps or overlaps between multiple tapes, leading to poor adhesion and potential misalignment or slippage during movement, thus failing to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Furthermore, the shoulder joint is highly flexible, and traditional kinesiology tape is usually anchored at any point on the body, limiting the allowable range of motion and reducing flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a trident-shaped dynamic kinesiology patch for the shoulder, which adopts an integrated design and can provide more even support, better stability and flexibility.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The shoulder trident-shaped dynamic kinesiology tape includes anchor points, main pole tape, front support tape, middle support tape, and rear support tape. The anchor points include an annular silicone base plate and multiple anti-slip tapes that are radially connected along the circumference of the annular silicone base plate. One end of the main pole tape is connected to the annular silicone base plate, and the other end is connected to the front support tape, middle support tape, and rear support tape respectively. The main pole tape, front support tape, middle support tape, rear support tape, and anti-slip tape are all elastic.

[0007] Furthermore, the surfaces of the main rod patch and the front support patch are sinusoidal, the edges of the middle support patch are wavy, and the surface of the rear support patch is arranged with inclined serrations.

[0008] Furthermore, the main pole patch is 3cm wide, the front support patch is 15cm long and 1.5cm wide, the middle support patch is 2cm wide, and the rear support patch is 2cm wide.

[0009] Furthermore, the wavelength of the sinusoidal waveform is 2 cm and the wave height is 1 cm.

[0010] Furthermore, the saw teeth are 3mm high, have a forward tilt angle of 45°, and have a spacing of 5mm between adjacent saw teeth.

[0011] Furthermore, the anti-slip patch has 12 strips, each anti-slip patch is 1cm long, and the diameter of the annular silicone base plate is 2cm.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner ring of the annular silicone substrate is hard, while the outer ring is soft.

[0013] Furthermore, a slow-release drug delivery unit is provided on the inner side of the main rod patch.

[0014] Furthermore, the central support patch is equipped with a pressure-responsive patch.

[0015] Furthermore, the central support patch has a built-in micro-explosive unit.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model adopts an integrated design, which can provide more uniform support and better stability;

[0018] 2. The anchor points adopt a rotary locking concave disc structure (annular silicone base disc and radial anti-slip patch), which provides good rotational flexibility;

[0019] 3. The main shaft tape and the front support tape correspond to the anterior deltoid and biceps brachii muscles, and use sinusoidal wave elastic bands with high elongation.

[0020] 4. The surface of the back support patch has forward-leaning serrations that can rotate with muscle stretching. When upright, it can exert directional pressure on the muscle, and when flattened, it can form a guide channel to reduce friction. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the shoulder trident-shaped dynamic kinesiology tape includes anchor point 1, main support tape 2, anterior support tape 3, middle support tape 4, and posterior support tape 5. Figure 2As shown, anchor point 1 includes an annular silicone base plate 11 and multiple anti-slip patches 12 radially connected around the annular silicone base plate 11. Preferably, there are 12 anti-slip patches 12, each 1cm long. The annular silicone base plate 11 has a diameter of 2cm. The inner ring of the annular silicone base plate 11 is hard, and the outer ring is soft. One end of the main rod patch 2 is connected to the annular silicone base plate 11, and the other end is connected to the front support patch 3, the middle support patch 4, and the rear support patch 5, respectively. The main rod patch 2, the front support patch 3, the middle support patch 4, the rear support patch 5, and the anti-slip patch 12 are all elastic.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the surfaces of the main pole patch 2 and the front support patch 3 are sinusoidal waveforms. Preferably, the wavelength of the sinusoidal waveform is 2cm and the wave height is 1cm. Figure 1 As shown, the edge of the central patch 4 is wavy. (As...) Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the surface of the rear support patch 5 is arranged with inclined serrations 51. Preferably, the serrations 51 are 3mm high, have a forward tilt angle of 45°, and the spacing between adjacent serrations 51 is 5mm.

[0034] Preferably, the main pole patch 2 is 3cm wide, the front support patch 3 is 15cm long and 1.5cm wide, the middle support patch 4 is 2cm wide, and the rear support patch 5 is 2cm wide.

[0035] The application method for this kinesiology tape is as follows:

[0036] Step 1: Locate the clavicle positioning anchor point 1. Press the middle section of the clavicle with your finger (about 8cm from the end of the sternum). This is the anchor point. Use the annular silicone base plate 11 as the center and fix it with the anti-slip tape 12.

[0037] Step 2: Position the main bar tape 2 along the aforementioned course of the deltoid muscle, raise your right arm and touch the anterior deltoid muscle of your left shoulder, and attach the main bar tape 2 to the line connecting the clavicle to the greater tubercle of the humerus.

[0038] Step 3: Position and attach the anterior branch tape 3 along the biceps brachii groove, position and attach the middle branch tape 4 along the supraspinatus muscle, and position and attach the posterior branch tape 5 along the teres minor muscle.

[0039] Shoulder movement scenarios after kinesiology tape application:

[0040] Scenario 1: Shoulder abduction 90° (such as lateral raise), the anterior lateral tape 3 is stretched as the biceps brachii extends, the sine wave is straightened, and the wave height approaches 0; the wave structure of the middle lateral tape 4 accumulates elastic potential energy at the supraspinatus muscle; the serrations 51 of the posterior lateral tape 5 are raised to form a guide groove, which can reduce the shear force of the tape.

[0041] Scenario 2, internal shoulder rotation (such as freestyle arm stroke), the rotary disc structure of anchor point 1 (annular silicone base plate 11 and radial anti-slip patch 12) allows the sternoclavicular joint to rotate flexibly; the main bar patch 2 is compressed with the contraction of the deltoid muscle, which can buffer the impact load; the posterior support patch 5 is inserted into the intermuscular space of the teres minor muscle, and the serrations 51 can form directional pressure points.

[0042] Scenario 3 uses a smooth throwing motion as an example:

[0043] Phase 1, ready position (arms pulled back), the posterior support tape 5 is inserted into the intermuscular space of the teres minor muscle, the serrations 51 stand up with the muscle movement to form a mini support column, giving directional pressure to the infraspinatus muscle, and the middle support tape 4 stretches with the stretching of the supraspinatus muscle to store potential energy.

[0044] Phase 2, accelerated throwing (shoulder flexion 90°), the anterior limb tape 3 extends to the biceps brachii groove and is lengthened as the biceps brachii stretches. The sinusoidal waveform structure can improve the elongation rate of the tape. The rotary disc structure rotates to release the range of motion of the sternoclavicular joint.

[0045] Phase 3, deceleration and braking (shoulder extension): the potential energy stored in the main rod patch 2 is converted into reverse pressure to buffer the impact on the joint. The serrations of the rear support patch 5 are laid down in the forward direction to form a guide groove, which can reduce the friction coefficient of the patch surface.

[0046] In another embodiment, the inner side of the main pole patch 2 is provided with a sustained-release drug-carrying unit, which has a sustained-release drug effect during muscle movement. Preferably, the sustained-release drug-carrying unit includes an inner circular drug capsule, a middle annular drug capsule, and an outer annular drug capsule with concentric centers. Combining commonly used drugs in the prior art that are useful for relieving muscle fatigue and reducing muscle pain, the inner circular drug capsule carries safflower extract (about 0.2 mL of gel, which can be liquefied when heated to 32°C), the middle annular drug capsule carries borneol microspheres (about 0.1 mm in diameter, which rupture when pressure > 3 kPa), and the outer annular drug capsule carries Panax notoginseng nanofibers (which can continuously release for 72 hours). Generally, the drug-carrying unit is placed 5 cm below the distal end of the clavicle, which is the trigger point of the deltoid muscle, and pressing this point will produce a sore and distended sensation.

[0047] In another embodiment, the central support patch 4 is equipped with a pressure-responsive patch. The pressure-responsive patch is existing technology; it is a patch-type pressure sensor that converts sensed pressure changes into electrical signals. This application directly selects a commercially available model suitable for its use. The working principle of the pressure-responsive patch is mainly based on the piezoresistive effect or the resistive strain effect. When the patch is subjected to external force (muscle stretching / contraction), the internal sensitive element (usually a metal or semiconductor material) undergoes slight deformation, causing a change in resistance, which in turn outputs a corresponding electrical signal. This kinesiology patch can be equipped with a signal transmission module and a miniature button battery (encapsulated in a groove on the edge of the patch), using the Bluetooth 5.0 protocol to wirelessly transmit the electrical signal to an external terminal, where the change in muscle pressure at the patch can be displayed visually.

[0048] In another embodiment, the central support patch 4 has a built-in micro-bursting unit containing 0.05 mg of corydaline. Corydaline is an alkaloid with strong analgesic and sedative effects and can be used to relieve muscle tension.

[0049] How to verify if kinesiology tape is applied correctly:

[0050] Test 1: Static Adhesion Inspection

[0051] Press the patch into each area with your palm. The locking disc structure should be able to rotate freely but not move horizontally. The trough of the main rod patch 2 should be recessed into the intermuscular space by 1-2 mm. The rear support patch 5 should have at least 50% of its serrations 51 standing upright without falling over.

[0052] Test 2: Dynamic Functionality Verification

[0053] After completing three shoulder joint circumduction movements, check the position of the drug capsule. More than 30% of the camphor microspheres should be broken. The waveform compression rate of the main rod patch 2 should be greater than 25%. The direction of the serration 51 of the rear support patch 5 must be consistent with the movement trajectory.

[0054] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
