Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a walking assistance device for gout patients. Background Technology

[0002] Gout is caused by excessively high levels of uric acid in the blood serum, leading to impaired purine metabolism and the accumulation of urate crystals in organs and joints, typically in the legs and feet. During a stable period of gout, walking and strolling can usually promote blood circulation in the feet and thus aid in recovery. However, during an acute phase of gout, when severe redness, swelling, and pain may occur in the joints, walking and strolling are not recommended as they may worsen the pain.

[0003] When patients are in a stable period, walking can be appropriate to relieve symptoms. Walking aids for gout patients can provide support for walking and have a good auxiliary rehabilitation effect. However, existing walking aids for gout patients have a simple structure and cannot be used to meet certain needs, such as not being able to be used for supporting the elevation of the patient's legs.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a walking aid device for gout patients to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 A walking aid for gout patients includes a central frame 1. Two U-shaped frames 2 are symmetrically arranged and rotatably connected to the bottom of the central frame 1. The two U-shaped frames 2 can be adjusted to rotate to the left and right sides of the central frame 1, respectively. Positioning mechanisms are provided between the central frame 1 and the corresponding U-shaped frames 2. The U-shaped frames 2 can be adjusted from a parallel alignment to a straight alignment, specifically as follows... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.

[0026] Two telescopic frames 3 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the intermediate frame 1. The two telescopic frames 3 are vertically and horizontally connected to the intermediate frame 1, and handrail mechanisms are provided on the two telescopic frames 3. The intermediate frame 1, the two U-shaped frames 2, and the two telescopic frames 3 constitute the main body of the patient walking assistance device. The top of the two telescopic frames 3 can support the patient's arms, making it convenient for the patient to hold onto the whole device for assisted movement. The patient's arms can also be supported by the handrail mechanisms.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a roller 4 is rotatably provided at one end of the bottom side of the U-shaped frame 2. The roller 4 can roll, which facilitates better movement of the entire device. An anti-slip block 5 is fixed at the other end of the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2. The anti-slip block 5 provides support and anti-slip effect when the entire device moves.

[0028] For the above example, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solution, the rollers 4 may not be provided, and anti-slip blocks 5 may be provided at both ends of the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2.

[0029] For the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solutions, the anti-slip block 5 can be made of rubber or wear-resistant plastic.

[0030] Regarding the above example, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solution, patients usually do not have obvious symptoms during the stable period of gout and can appropriately take walks, which can promote blood circulation, consume excess fat, and benefit the recovery of the condition.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the positioning mechanism includes a recessed groove 6 set on the intermediate frame 1, and a positioning block 7 fixed at one end of the top of the U-shaped frame 2. The positioning block 7 is rotatably set in the recessed groove 6 and can rotate within the range of the recessed groove 6. A positioning screw 8 is threaded through the positioning block 7, and the recessed groove 6 has two slots 9 that match the insertion of the positioning screw 8. The positioning block 7 can be positioned and fixed in any one of the slots 9 by the positioning screw 8. The two slots 9 correspond to two positions, which can adjust the vertical and horizontal states of the U-shaped frame 2. When both U-shaped frames 2 are in the vertical state, the two U-shaped frames 2 are parallel and aligned. At this time, it can be used in conjunction with the intermediate frame 1 and the two telescopic frames 3 for patient walking assistance. When the two U-shaped frames 2 are aligned in a straight line, the entire device can be placed stably on a horizontal plane.

[0032] For the above example, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solution, both ends of the top of the U-shaped frame 2 are rotatably connected to the middle frame 1, one of which is the positioning block 7.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the telescopic frame 3 is inverted U-shaped. Both ends of the telescopic frame 3 are slidably sleeved on the middle frame 1, and both ends are threaded with fixing screws 10. The middle frame 1 is symmetrically provided with several through holes 11, which can be inserted and matched with the fixing screws 10. After the telescopic frame 3 is adjusted in height, the fixing screws 10 at both ends can be tightened to insert the fixing screws 10 into the corresponding through holes 11. The setting of several through holes 11 allows the telescopic frame 3 to be adjusted to multiple heights.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the handrail mechanism includes a plurality of U-shaped handrails 12 disposed at one end of the telescopic frame 3, the plurality of U-shaped handrails 12 being arranged at equal vertical distances. The U-shaped handrails 12 can be used by patients for hand support during operation.

[0035] For the above example, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solution, two or more U-shaped handrails 12 are provided on a telescopic frame 3.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a rectangular block 13 is abutted against the side of the U-shaped handrail 12. The side of the U-shaped handrail 12 and the rectangular block 13 are rotatably connected via a pivot. A first fastening screw 14 is threadedly connected to the side of the rectangular block 13. The first fastening screw 14 is positioned end-to-end against the pivot end of the U-shaped handrail 12, and can press and fix the U-shaped handrail 12. The U-shaped handrail 12 can be rotated and adjusted, and can be fixed after adjustment by the first fastening screw 14, and can be rotated and adjusted from a vertical state to a state with a certain tilt angle.

[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a fixed seat 15 corresponding to the U-shaped handrail 12 is fixed on the side of the telescopic frame 3. The rectangular block 13 is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed seat 15 through a cylindrical rod. The side of the fixed seat 15 is threaded with a second fastening knob 16 for pressing and fixing the cylindrical rod. The U-shaped handrail 12 can be rotated and adjusted through the cylindrical rod. For example, from a top view, the U-shaped handrail 12 can be rotated to a state corresponding to the top of the telescopic frame 3 in a straight line, which is convenient for the patient to hold and operate. It can also be rotated to a state perpendicular to the top of the telescopic frame 3. The U-shaped handrail 12 can be flexibly adjusted in angle. When assisting walking, the patient's arm can be supported by the U-shaped handrail 12, and the U-shaped handrail 12 can be flexibly adjusted to meet and adapt to the patient's support needs. When the two U-shaped frames 2 are aligned in a straight line, the entire device can be placed stably on the bed on a horizontal plane. At this time, from a top view, the U-shaped handrails 12 are rotated and adjusted on the fixed base 15, and several U-shaped handrails 12 are rotated to be perpendicular to the top of the corresponding telescopic frame 3. The corresponding U-shaped handrails 12 are also rotated and adjusted on the rectangular block 13 to have a certain tilt angle. At this time, the patient can lie supine on the bed and raise both legs. The several U-shaped handrails 12 symmetrically located on both sides can support the patient's legs in the raised state.

[0038] In the above example, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solution, the affected limb can be elevated during an acute gout attack. The affected limb refers to the patient's two legs. Elevating the legs can promote local venous blood return and effectively relieve discomfort symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain.

[0039] In this invention, the working principle of the device is as follows:

[0040] When in use, this device assists with walking by setting both U-shaped frames 2 vertically and aligning them parallel to each other. In this configuration, it works in conjunction with the central frame 1 and the two telescopic frames 3 to aid patient movement. The tops of the two telescopic frames 3 support the patient's arms, allowing for easy hand-holding and movement. The patient's arms can also be supported by the U-shaped handrails 12. The telescopic frames 3 are height-adjustable, and the U-shaped handrails 12 are also angle-adjustable, allowing for flexible adjustment to meet and adapt to the patient's support needs.

[0041] This device can also provide support and assistance for patients' leg-raising exercises. By observing from a top-down angle, the U-shaped handrails 12 are rotated and adjusted on the fixed base 15, ensuring that several U-shaped handrails 12 are rotated to a position perpendicular to the top of the corresponding telescopic frame 3. The corresponding U-shaped handrails 12 are then rotated and adjusted on the rectangular block 13 to achieve a certain angle of inclination. Figure 4 As shown. At this time, the patient can lie supine on the bed and raise both legs. Several U-shaped handrails 12 symmetrically located on both sides support the patient's legs in this elevated position, eliminating the need for manual assistance and effectively relieving discomfort such as redness, swelling, and pain in the legs. Simultaneously, the telescopic frame 3 can be adjusted in height to effectively meet the patient's needs for leg support. The above operations can be performed with the assistance of medical staff.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
