Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grip strength adjustment technology, and more specifically, to a grip strength adjustment device for finger joint flexion and extension rehabilitation. Background Technology
[0002] This section introduces grip strength adjusters for finger joint flexion and extension rehabilitation. These devices are designed to assist in finger joint rehabilitation training and typically feature adjustable resistance. They allow for flexible adjustments to the intensity of grip strength training based on the patient's rehabilitation stage and actual ability. Regular use of grip strength adjusters for grip-release exercises can effectively strengthen the flexor and extensor muscles of the fingers, enhance the range of motion and strength of the finger joints, promote the recovery of finger joint function, and help patients better return to normal life.
[0003] Grip strength modulators for finger joint flexion and extension rehabilitation are primarily based on mechanical principles and ergonomic design. They provide resistance through internal springs, hydraulic pressure, or pneumatic devices. When patients grip the modulator and perform flexion and extension movements, these devices generate a reaction force, simulating the resistance of grasping movements in daily life. Patients can adjust the resistance level according to their own rehabilitation progress. By continuously resisting the resistance, they exercise their finger muscles, thereby enhancing the flexion and extension abilities of their finger joints and promoting rehabilitation.
[0004] In existing technologies, some grip strength adjusters have fixed grip bars, and the shape of their finger slots is only suitable for the hands of some people. For people whose hands are not well-fitted, this can lead to uneven force distribution on the hands, making it difficult to provide balanced exercise for the joints and muscles of the fingers. This reduces the targetedness and effectiveness of the training, lowers the rehabilitation training effect, and delays the rehabilitation process. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned technical problem of uneven hand force caused by the mismatch of the shape of the finger groove of the physical regulator in the prior art, a grip strength regulator for finger joint flexion and extension rehabilitation is provided.
