Abstract
The present invention relates to the technical field of medical rehabilitation aids and provides a support for posterior cruciate ligament injuries of the knee joint. [Solution] The upper connecting brackets consist of two brackets arranged symmetrically front to back, and two lower connecting brackets arranged symmetrically front to back. A support shaft is fixed to the right end of the upper connecting bracket, and the left end of the lower connecting bracket is rotatably fitted to the support shaft via a bearing. A connecting part is provided in the connecting assembly, and a fixing part is fixed to the lower end of the connecting part. A balloon is provided between the connecting parts on both the front and rear sides, and both the front and rear ends of the balloon are fixed to the connecting parts on both the front and rear sides, respectively. By providing a joint-type mounting structure and rigidly connecting both the upper and lower parts of the mounting structure, an interlocking support structure is configured that can move in conjunction with the movement of the user's knee joint. Therefore, when the user extends their knee joint, the tibia of the user can be supported, and fatigue of the posterior cruciate ligament can be reduced.
