The shoulder and sleeve extension assembly A11 consists of a bushing 111, an arc-shaped extension groove A112, and padding. The outer part of the filling is covered by a bushing 111, and the bushing 111 has an arc-shaped outward groove A112 for covering the patient's shoulder. The shoulder sleeve extension component A11 has Velcro closures 113 sewn onto both sides of the bottom.
[0018] In this embodiment: the top of the shoulder sleeve extension component B12 is attached by hook and loop fastener 113, and binding straps B121 are also attached to the front and back sides of the shoulder sleeve extension component B12. The binding straps B121 are made of elastic nylon material and have several layers of stitching adhesive surfaces A122 for bonding.
[0019] In this embodiment: a sewing adhesive surface B123 is also sewn on the back of the binding strap B121, and the sewing adhesive surface B123 and the sewing adhesive surface A122 can be cross-attached.
[0020] The purpose of the seam adhesive surfaces B123 and A122 is to allow the straps to self-tighten when they need to be assembled into a pillow-shaped object.
[0021] In this embodiment: the shoulder sleeve extension component B12 is filled with the same filling material and bushing 111 as the shoulder sleeve extension component A11. The other side of both the shoulder sleeve extension component B12 and the shoulder sleeve extension component A11 is provided with a slope 13, and an arm binding strap 14 is also attached to the surface of the slope 13.
[0022] The rotator cuff abduction component A11 and the ramp 13 used are designed so that the patient's arm can be easily placed on the ramp 13, reducing the instability of the patient's arm contraction.
[0023] In this embodiment, the arm binding strap 14 is elastically tightened to the patient's arm by the hook and loop fasteners 113 sewn onto the inner and outer surfaces of the strap.
[0024] Ensure the patient can easily apply the bandage, so that the rotator cuff abduction brace has a fulcrum to support the injured arm.
[0025] In this embodiment: the bottom of the arm strap 14 is bound to the shoulder sleeve extension component B12 by a buckle 15, the other end of the strap B121 is engaged with the back of the shoulder sleeve extension component B12, and an arc-shaped extension groove B125 is provided on the other side of the shoulder sleeve extension component B12.
[0026] The B125 arc-shaped abduction groove is used to tighten around the patient's waist and act as a fulcrum to share the support.
[0027] In this embodiment: a binding strap A124 is also installed on the back of the sewn adhesive surface A122. The two ends of the binding strap A124 are shortened by buckles 15, and the other end of the binding strap A124 is elastically engaged with the binding strap B121.
[0028] The binding straps A124 and B121 are used as a multi-piece combination for the shoulder sleeve abduction support.
[0029] In this embodiment: the shoulder sleeve extension component B12 and the shoulder sleeve extension component A11 are connected by a hook and loop fastener 113; The binding straps A124 and B121 are evenly bound together in the middle of the shoulder sleeve extension component A11 and shoulder sleeve extension component B12 by the hook and loop fasteners 113 provided on the inner and outer sides, and are elastically tightened and bound together by their respective binding straps A124 and B121.
[0030] The use of hook and loop fasteners 113 and self-binding straps A124 enables tightening at one end.
[0031] Step 1: As a rotator cuff abduction brace for patients; The patient needs to attach the rotator cuff abduction component B12 at the bottom and the rotator cuff abduction component A11 at the top. Then, attach them together by aligning the Velcro straps 113 at this point, ensuring that the edges of the two components on the slope 13 maintain a certain curvature on the same hypotenuse. Step Two: Aligning the patient's hips and waist; The patient's hip and waist area is attached to the arc-shaped abduction groove A112 and arc-shaped abduction groove B125. Then the patient's injured wrist and arm are passed through the arm binding strap 14. The tightening of the buckle 15 allows the arm to be placed lightly on the slope 13 as a support pad, supporting the patient's wrist, arm and joint. The weight distribution at the fulcrum is ensured by the binding strap B121 around the waist and hips, which ensures that the rotator cuff abduction components A11 and B12 are always kept in the position of the patient's waist. In addition, the triangular support requires the use of another shoulder, with the binding strap A124 placed at the patient's shoulder position. The retraction buckle 15 ensures that each strap is stably bound to the patient's waist and shoulder. Step 3: The patient disassembles the pillow to use as a headrest; Simply remove the binding straps B121 and A124, and change the direction of their attachment. At this point, the person only needs to first remove the arm binding strap 14, then peel off the rotator cuff abduction component A11, and then place it side by side on the other side of the two rotator cuff abduction components B12. The binding straps A124 and B121 that were removed at this time are wrapped around and bound to the surface of the bushing 111. The binding straps A124 and B121 are cross-attached by the inner and outer layers of the Velcro 113. As long as the binding strap B121 is tightened, the rotator cuff abduction components A11 and B12 are tightened at the same time, and the volume is gradually changed so that the combined volume of the two can fit the patient's head and neck for other uses.
