Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically to a cervical rehabilitation device for stroke. Background Technology
[0002] Stroke, also known as apoplexy, is a disease caused by various factors that damage blood vessels in the brain, resulting in focal or overall brain tissue damage. Rehabilitation therapy can effectively reduce disability rates, accelerate the rehabilitation process, alleviate functional impairments, and improve quality of life.
[0003] Rehabilitation therapy includes methods such as exercise training, physical therapy, speech therapy, and psychotherapy. Increased muscle tone is one of the adverse factors affecting the patient's rehabilitation process. Increased muscle tone mainly occurs in the early stage of rehabilitation, especially in the recovery stage after the acute phase. Specifically, it manifests as abnormally increased tone of the upper limb flexor muscles and lower limb extensor muscles, leading to spasticity, muscle weakness, and decreased motor control. This is because stroke causes damage to the upper motor neurons, triggering an increase in muscle tone characterized by enhanced speed-dependent stretch reflex.
[0004] Therefore, how to apply appropriate, small, slow and orderly displacement to the neck of stroke patients during the recovery period, in the form of passive training, to relieve the increase in muscle tone, while preventing neck muscle atrophy, improving the patient's cervical spine mobility and enhancing trunk control, is an urgent problem to be solved.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 A neck rehabilitation device for stroke includes a U-shaped base 1. The U-shaped base 1 is equipped with a movable plate 2 via a connecting mechanism. Four bolts 13 are threadedly connected to the lower end of the U-shaped base 1. Before installation, four mounting holes can be opened on an external telescopic mounting frame. Then, the four bolts 13 are passed through the four mounting holes and connected to the lower end of the U-shaped base 1 to complete the fixation of the device. Four rubber pads 14 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the U-shaped base 1.
[0025] The mobile rehabilitation device includes a pillow 3, which consists of a pillow core 31 and a pillowcase 32. The pillow core 31 is located inside the pillowcase 32. A first female Velcro 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mobile plate 2, and a first female Velcro 5 corresponding to the first female Velcro 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pillowcase 32, so as to facilitate the connection of the pillow 3 to the mobile plate 2 and facilitate disassembly.
[0026] The pillowcase 32 has a first strap 33 and a second strap 34 sewn together on both sides. The upper end of the first strap 33 is fixedly connected to a second female Velcro 35, and the lower end of the second strap 34 is fixedly connected to a second female Velcro 36 corresponding to the second female Velcro 35. After the patient's head is on the pillow 3, the medical staff can connect the first strap 33 and the second strap 34 together through the second female Velcro 35 and the second female Velcro 36, and make the first strap 33 and the second strap 34 fit tightly against the patient's jaw.
[0027] An electric push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped base 1. A fixed plate 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate 2. The movable end of the electric push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plate 12. The connecting mechanism includes two guide rods 9, each with two fixed seats 8 fixedly connected to both ends. The lower ends of the four fixed seats 8 are all fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped base 1. Two guide sleeves 10 are slidably connected to the side walls of the two guide rods 9. The upper ends of the four guide sleeves 10 are all fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate 2 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (As shown).
[0028] With the patient's head resting on the pillow 3 and the first strap 33 and the second strap 34 tightly fitted against the patient's jaw, the electric push rod 11 can be adjusted to intermittently extend or retract slightly. This, in turn, moves the moving plate 2 via the fixed plate 12, which in turn moves the pillow 3. This, in turn, causes the patient's head to move slightly via the first strap 33 and the second strap 34. This applies appropriate, small, slow, and orderly displacement to the patient's neck, providing passive training to alleviate increased muscle tension and prevent neck muscle atrophy. It also improves the patient's cervical spine mobility, enhances trunk control, and aids in neck muscle rehabilitation.
[0029] The movable plate 2 is equipped with a control mechanism for controlling the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 11. The control mechanism includes a control box 6 fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable plate 2. A battery 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the control box 6. A microcontroller circuit board 62 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the control box 6. A control panel 7 is connected to the upper end of the control box 6 by multiple screws.
[0030] It should be noted that the microcontroller circuit board 62 is an integrated circuit chip. It is a small but complete microcomputer system that integrates a central processing unit (CPU) with data processing capabilities, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), various I / O ports, interrupt system, timer / counter and other functions onto a single silicon chip using very large-scale integrated circuit technology. This is the existing technology.
[0031] The control panel 7 is equipped with a working timer 71, a power switch 72, a working switch 73, and a charging port 74. The charging port 74 is electrically connected to the battery 61 through a microcontroller circuit board 62. The power switch 72 is electrically connected to the battery 61 through a microcontroller circuit board 62. The working timer 71, the working switch 73, and the electric push rod 11 are electrically connected to the battery 61 through a microcontroller circuit board 62.
[0032] It should be noted that the battery 61 can be charged through the charging port 74. The power switch 72 is equipped with an LED indicator to determine whether the power switch 72 is turned on. The working time timer 71 can time the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 11. In conjunction with the working switch 73, it can drive the electric push rod 11 to extend and retract. When the time on the working time timer 71 becomes zero, the electric push rod 11 is de-energized. Its control program is controlled by the microcontroller circuit board 62. Its control method is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0033] When using this device, the lower end of the U-shaped base 1 is connected to the external telescopic mounting frame through four bolts 13, and the height of the U-shaped base 1 is adjusted so that the movable plate 2 is flush with the bed where the patient is lying. The adjustment method is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] Then attach the first male Velcro 5 at the bottom of the pillowcase 32 to the first female Velcro 4 on the movable plate 2, so that the pillow 3 can be connected to the movable plate 2 and can be easily removed.
[0035] Then the patient lies on the bed with their head on the pillow 3. At this time, the medical staff can connect the first strap 33 and the second strap 34 together through the second female Velcro 35 and the second female Velcro 36, and fit the first strap 33 and the second strap 34 tightly against the patient's jaw.
[0036] Finally, medical staff can turn on the power switch 72 and set the time on the working timer 71. Then, in conjunction with the working switch 73, the electric push rod 11 can be driven to extend or retract intermittently by a small distance. This, in turn, drives the moving plate 2 to move through the fixed plate 12, which in turn moves the pillow 3. This, in turn, drives the patient's head to move slightly through the first strap 33 and the second strap 34. This can apply appropriate, small, low-speed and orderly displacement to the patient's neck, thereby relieving the increase in muscle tension in a passive training manner. At the same time, it can prevent neck muscle atrophy, improve the patient's cervical spine mobility, enhance trunk control, and help the rehabilitation of neck muscles.
[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
