Problems solved by technology

However, this has the disadvantage that such straps may be expensive, for example especially when needed frequently, the application of such straps may be time-consuming, and incorrect use of the straps may result, for example, in the use of unskilled persons. athlete injured
Furthermore, the belt disadvantageously only provides temporary support, for example due to the reduced stiffness of the active and moving belt
For example to compensate for the aforementioned disadvantages, bands can also pose a risk due to band-induced blood flow restriction when the band is applied too tightly

Abstract

The present invention relates to a protective device (1) for protecting a proximal interphalangeal joint and a distal interphalangeal joint of a human finger. The device comprises a flexible sheath (3) for wearing around the human finger and at least four motion constraining elements (4) integrated in or secured to the flexible sheath (3). The motion constraining element (4) is adapted for constraining a lateral and / or rotational deviation motion of a first phalanx with respect to a second phalanx. The motion constraining element (4) covers a lateral side (L) of the flexible sheath (3) at a location corresponding to the joint (2) and is adapted for resisting elongation of the motion constraining element (4) in a longitudinal direction (5) of the flexible sheath (3). The motion constrainingelement (4) is bendable in a direction to allow flexion of the joint (2). The motion constraining elements for the distal interphalangeal joint and for the proximal interphalangeal joint are distinctand separate elements having different points of engagement on the flexible sheath.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of prosthetic devices, braces and similar protective equipment for protecting the interphalangeal joints of the human body. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for protecting a human joint such as an elbow, knee, ankle or digit joint for articulation of a first bone relative to a second bone. Protective equipment for human hinge joints. Background technique [0002] In humans, collateral ligament injuries, eg, radial and ulnar, may occur due to forced lateral deviation and / or rotational motion that is inconsistent with the normal range of motion of a joint, eg, a finger. For example, ulnar collateral ligament injuries of the thumb are particularly common, and may be referred to as skiers' or gamers' thumbs, for example, which may result from a sudden forced radial deviation. [0003] Hand injuries are common among athletes because the hands often absorb impact during movement. These...
