Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical treatment and health, in particular to a novel limb circumference measurer.
Background
In clinical diagnosis and treatment practice, measurement of the circumference of four limbs, particularly the circumference of the legs of the lower limbs, is an important measurement index in the process of conservative treatment of a plurality of diseases (conservative treatment of femoral neck fracture, intertrochanteric fracture and the like), perioperative period (knee joint replacement, patellar fracture reduction fixation, tibial plateau fracture reduction fixation and the like) or treatment of internal diseases (heart failure, renal failure and the like), and has great significance for early discovery and monitoring of the progression of diseases such as deep venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, heart failure, renal failure and the like.
The current method commonly used in clinic is to use a flexible rule for measurement. For example, when measuring the lower limb, the measurer uses the flexible rule to wrap the lower limb by one hand at a position 15cm above the patella and at a position 10cm below the patella, fits the flexible rule to the skin, and reads the measurement value.
The existing method for measuring the circumference of the lower limb and the leg by using a flexible rule by bare hands has the following defects:
first, when the flexible rule is placed by hands to surround the lower limbs for one circle, the width of the flexible rule is narrow, the circumference of the cross section of the lower limbs is just difficult to guarantee during measurement, the circumference of the inclined plane of the lower limbs is easy to cause measurement actually due to the fact that the flexible rule is placed obliquely, the measured value is larger than the true value, the repeatability of multiple times of measurement is low, the comparability is poor, the change of the leg circumference of the lower limbs is not easy to occur in the early stage, and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases are delayed.
Secondly, because of elasticity of muscles and skin of the lower limbs, when the flexible ruler is placed by hands to surround the lower limbs for one week, the degree of tightness between the flexible ruler and the lower limbs can be judged only by experience, and the degree of tightness between the flexible ruler is different due to the difference of force exertion of personal manipulations, so that measurement errors occur, and the flexible ruler is not beneficial to early detection of the change of the leg circumference of the lower limbs and delay diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

The invention aims to solve the defects of the prior art and provides a novel limb circumference measurer which comprises a leg circumference measuring ruler and a distance measuring ruler, wherein one end part of the distance measuring ruler is vertically fixed on the leg circumference measuring ruler; a plurality of scales are arranged on the leg circumference measuring scale and the distance measuring scale along the length direction; a plurality of hollowed holes are formed in the leg circumference measuring scale; the leg circumference measuring scale is used for measuring the circumference of the limbs of the human body; the distance measuring scale is used for measuring the distance between the leg circumference measuring scale and a fixed position on the human body, and the leg circumference measuring scale is determined to be in a correct position when the circumference of the limb of the human body is measured according to the distance, so that the measuring error caused by the error measurement position is avoided; the holes of the plurality of hollows are used for enabling human skin at the measuring position to protrude into the holes of the hollows when the leg circumference measuring scale measures the circumference of the limbs of a human body, and the upper surface of the skin protruding into the holes of the hollows is flush with the upper plane of the leg circumference measuring scale, so that the consistency of tightening degree of the leg circumference measuring scale is guaranteed.
The holes are distributed along the length direction of the leg circumference measuring scale at equal intervals.
Preferably, a buckle is arranged at one end of the leg circumference measuring scale and used for tensioning the leg circumference measuring scale when the leg circumference measuring scale measures the circumference of the limb of the human body.
The leg circumference measuring ruler is designed as a plastic flexible ruler, is made of transparent materials, has the width of 5cm and the thickness of 3mm.
The holes of the plurality of hollows on the leg circumference measuring scale are round holes.
The diameter of the hollowed-out hole is 0.5cm.
The distance measuring ruler is designed as a flexible rule, is made of transparent materials and has the width of 1cm.
The distance measuring scale is used for measuring the distance between the leg circumference measuring scale and the edge of the patella.
Advantageous effects
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
when the limb circumference measurer is used for measuring the leg circumference, the measurement error caused by the deflection of the common flexible rule during the leg circumference measurement is reduced through the leg circumference measuring scale with larger width (5 cm). Simultaneously, through the design of fretwork round hole on the dipperstick, when tightening, let skin intrude round hole and surface parallel and level to even accomplish different measurers, when measuring different patients, or same patient's different limbs swelling degree, also possible elasticity is unanimous, accurately measures the periphery of limbs, has reduced because of the measuring error that the degree difference of hugging of tape and skin leads to when measuring, convenient operation, the practicality is high.
