Orthotics and orthopedic system

Abstract

The invention relates to an orthotics. The orthotics comprises a foot support in the shape matched with the shape of the portion, needing orthopedic treatment, of a patient. The foot support comprises a function layer and a resistance layer. The function layer is made of shape memory polymer, can be softened and deforms under the preset high temperature, is hardened again under the preset low temperature with the fixed shape, and then recovers the original shape at the preset high temperature. The resistance layer is used for generating heat under the current effect so as to change the temperature of the function layer. The invention further relates to an orthopedic system. The orthopedic system comprises the orthotics and a computer system connected with the orthotics. The computer system adjusts the temperature of the orthotics by adjusting the voltage applied on the resistance layer. The orthotics has the advantages that the requirements of a patient are met by adjusting the shape of the orthotics safely and conveniently, and the service life of the orthotics is prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of orthopedic appliances for non-surgical treatment of human trunk or limbs, in particular to an electric orthopedic device and an orthopedic system with shape memory function for treating foot drop. Background technique [0002] Orthotics are external fixation devices for the human trunk and limbs to treat, improve or compensate for body deformities and dysfunctions caused by skeletal, muscular and nervous system lesions. Patients suffering from stroke, cerebral palsy and fractures can Rehabilitation with orthotics. [0003] Orthotics provide patients with a continuous rehabilitation process. However, in this process, the waste of resources is a very prominent problem. For example, patients with foot drop will wear a series of foot drop orthotics of different shapes during the rehabilitation process. Provide support for the foot diseased muscles. With the progress of rehabilitation treatment, the dorsiflex...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that, for the existing orthotics, the orthotics need to be replaced regularly in the whole rehabilitation treatment process in order to better fit the shape of the patient's feet, which leads to waste of time and material consumption, and the need to replace the orthotics Putting the orthosis under uncontrollable hot water or heat gun will bring danger to the wearer of the orthosis, and at the same time, the orthosis will be damaged due to improper heating and its service life will be shortened. By constructing a new textile composite orthosis, by changing The magnitude of the current controls the hardness of the orthosis in a specific area, thereby safely and conveniently adjusting the shape of the orthosis to meet the patient's requirements and prolonging the service life of the orthosis
