Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the materials of foot drop orthotics are mainly plastic, metal and composite materials, but the properties of the materials in the process of use limit the use of orthotics
For example, the hardness of the metal material is high, which makes the comfort of the patient wearing the orthosis poor; the plastic material has no porous structure, and the moisture absorption and perspiration are not ideal.

Abstract

The invention relates to a flexible foot drop brace. The flexible foot drop brace is a sock type ankle-foot orthosis worn in shoes. The flexible foot drop brace comprises a fixation part, a whole coating part, a stretching part and a spacing part, wherein a non-elasticity coating belt on the shank and the ankle is used as a master bracket; a silica gel high-elasticity fixation part at the knee joint is used for fixing; and foot dorsal extension is provided through the combined action of a high-elasticity stretching part on the propodium and fore shin and a low-elasticity spacing part on the metapodium. The flexible foot drop brace disclosed by the invention is simple in structure, convenient to clean, good in comfortability, light and durable, and high in practicality, and has the straightening effect on a patient suffering foot drop.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ankle-foot orthosis, in particular to a flexible foot drop brace. Background technique [0002] Incomplete or inability to lift the toes due to stroke or other central and peripheral nerve diseases and injuries, resulting in abnormal walking gait, that is, foot drop. In order to compensate for the abnormal gait of the affected limb, the patient usually uses the uninjured toe and excessive thigh lift to compensate. One of the current conservative treatment methods is to wear an orthosis, that is, to choose an orthosis according to the clinical condition of the patient and the size of the calf and foot to keep the ankle joint angle within a certain range, and the gait can be corrected to a certain extent when walking. [0003] At present, the materials of foot drop orthotics are mainly plastic, metal and composite materials, but the properties of the materials during use limit the use of orthotics. For example, the...
