Description

Technical area

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of support devices for preventing foot drop, in particular a support device for preventing foot drop. Background technology

[0002] Due to treatment needs, patients in the intensive care unit require their feet to maintain a functional position and prevent foot sagging.

[0003] For this purpose, patent CN215019876U describes a foot drop support with a support box. At one end of the support box is an inclined plate. On the other side of the support box is a partition. On the inside of the partition are two symmetrical positioning grooves. An adjustment rod is rotatably mounted in the partition. A threaded cylinder and a fixed cylinder are mounted in the support box, with the threaded cylinder and fixed cylinder arranged symmetrically. A movable rod slides within the fixed cylinder, and the movable rod is rigidly connected to the support box and the partition. The adjustment rod is screwed to the threaded cylinder. In this system, the calf support and foot are placed in the positioning groove, but there is no fixed structure for the legs and feet. In practice, the patient's legs and feet can be easily moved and easily detached from the support device. Content of the utility model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned technology and to provide a support device to prevent the foot from falling.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the utility model consists of a support device for preventing foot drop. It consists of a support plate and a rectangular U-shaped bar. A leg side plate is symmetrically attached to both sides of the upper longitudinal direction of the support plate. Elastic bandages are attached near both ends. A round tube is attached to the upper end of the leg side plate.

[0006] The right-angled U-shaped rod and the round tube are slidably connected. A threaded section and a threaded nut are symmetrically mounted near the end of the right-angled U-shaped rod. A base plate is attached to the open end of the right-angled U-shaped rod.

[0007] As an improvement, the leg side plate deviates from the midline and is located close to the elastic bandage.

[0008] As an improvement, the nut is located between the end of the right-angled U-shaped rod and the leg side plate.

[0009] As an improvement, the surface of the foot plate facing the rectangular U-shaped bar is arcuate and located on the deflection side of the leg side plate.

[0010] As an improvement, the round tube touches the inside of the leg side plate, which in turn is perpendicular to the support plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages of being easy to wear and flexible to adjust. The ankle and foot are relatively fixed, allowing the foot to maintain a functional position when the human body is lying down and preventing the foot from sagging or loosening. It also has high practical and promotional value. Description with drawings Fig. shows schematically the structure of a support device for preventing the foot drop according to the utility model. Fig. shows schematically the structure of a support plate of a support device for preventing the foot from falling according to the utility model.

[0012] The figure consists of: 1. support plate, 2. right-angled U-shaped bar, 3. leg side plate, 4. elastic bandages, 5. round tube, 6. nut, 7. foot plate. The specific embodiment

[0013] In the following, a support device for preventing foot drop according to the utility model is explained in more detail with reference to the attached illustrations.

[0014] In connection with the Fig. A support device for preventing foot drop includes a support plate 1 and a rectangular U-shaped bar 2. A leg side plate 3 is symmetrically attached to both sides of the upper longitudinal direction of the support plate 1. Elastic bandages 4 are attached near both ends. A round tube 5 is attached to the upper end of the leg side plate 3.

[0015] The rectangular U-shaped rod 2 and the round tube 5 are slidably connected to each other. A threaded portion and a threaded nut 6 are symmetrically mounted near the end of the rectangular U-shaped rod 2. A base plate 7 is attached to the open end of the rectangular U-shaped rod 2.

[0016] The leg side plate 3 deviates from the midline and is located close to the elastic bandage 4.

[0017] The nut 6 is located between the end of the rectangular U-shaped rod 2 and the leg side plate 3.

[0018] The surface of the foot plate 7 facing the rectangular U-shaped rod 2 is arcuate and is located on the side of the leg side plate 3 running in the deflection direction.

[0019] The round tube 5 touches the inside of the leg side plate 3, which in turn is perpendicular to the support plate 1.

[0020] When applying the utility model, the support plate 1 is placed on the front of the calf as needed, with the footplate 7 facing forward. The upper part of the foot is positioned in front of the rectangular U-shaped rod 2, so that the curved surface of the footplate 7 is close to the sole of the foot. The rectangular U-shaped rod 2 is then adjusted so that the sole of the foot reaches the functional position. Finally, the nut 6 is manually tightened until it rests close to the round tube 5.

[0021] The above description of the utility model and its implementation methods is not limiting. The figure merely shows one of the implementation methods of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited to this. In short, if skilled engineers are inspired by it, they can creatively develop a structure and implementation method similar to the technical solution and within the scope of protection of the utility model, without departing from the inventive purpose of the utility model.
