Shoulder upper limb bearing tape

Abstract

The invention discloses a shoulder upper limb bearing tape and belongs to the field of medical equipment. The device comprises a substrate arranged at the back of a patient, wherein the substrate is provided with a left shoulder girdle and a right shoulder girdle which wind around the shoulder on two sides of the patient; the substrate, which is positioned on the paralyzed upper limb side, is provided with a first bearing tape and a second bearing tape; elastic cloth which can coat the elbow of the patient is arranged between the first bearing tape and the second bearing tape; and the front end of the elastic cloth is provided with a wrist fixing tape used for fixing and supporting the weight of the upper limb and a detachable handheld device. The shoulder upper limb bearing tape is suitable for a hemiplegic paralysis patient, namely the hemi-upper limb can be supported, subluxation and shoulder blade postures are corrected, walking is promoted, the blood circulation of the upper limb is not influenced, a device in an upper limb flexor spasticity mode is not induced or weighted, and the shoulder upper limb bearing tape meets the urgent needs of correcting shoulder joint subluxation of the hemiplegic paralysis patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical device for rehabilitation, in particular to a scapula upper limb supporting belt. Background technique [0002] Shoulder joint subluxation is common in various types of upper limb nerve paralysis, especially in patients with hemiplegia after brain injury, and is one of the main causes of shoulder pain and affecting the quality of life of patients. It has been reported in the literature that the incidence of shoulder subluxation in patients with severe upper limb paralysis is over 60%. In the initial stage of hemiplegia, the muscles of the hemiplegic upper limb are mostly in a relaxed state; when the patient starts to sit or stand against gravity in the early stage after hemiplegia, shoulder subluxation naturally occurs, so the hemiplegic upper limb must obtain sufficient support to correct the shoulder joint Subluxation. [0003] There are a variety of upper limb fixation and support devices on the market. The main ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] There are a variety of upper limb fixation and support devices on the market. The main principle is to correct the subluxation of the shoulder joint by fixing the affected upper limb in the elbow flexion position or by fixing and lifting the humerus. However, for hemiplegic patients For example, supporting the upper limb in the elbow flexion position will induce or aggravate the flexor spasm pattern; fixing and lifting the humerus will affect the blood circulation of the upper limb, and subluxation will still occur if the supporting force is insufficient

[0004] On the other hand, the occurrence of shoulder subluxation in patients with hemiplegia is not only the weakness of the deltoid and rotator cuff muscles, but also the improper position of the scapula; the existing technology only fixes and supports the upper limbs, and cannot correct the abnormal position of the scapula

[0005] With the recovery of the function of hemiplegic patients, many patients have regained the walking function, but the upper limb of the side still has no active activities and can only hang down on the side of the body, which increases the patient's neglect of the affected side; the lack of arm swing also affects the patient's walking

Because of the insufficiency of traditional upper limb fixed support devices, rehabilitation doctors and rehabilitation therapists generally do not recommend patients to wear shoulder and arm slings for a long time
