Abstract

An orthopaedic splint is constructed such that it only needs little effort to be operated and can be used for muscle re-training during convalescence of the patient during the post-operative period. The orthopaedic splint has an adjustment device which is used to apply a force against the splint and limb by means of a torsional spring or similar device. The force exerted by torsional spring may be adjusted since the splint itself is of a pivoting or moveable type the muscles of the limb which has been operated on may be subjected to increasing load which helps to prevent wasting etc.

Solche orthopäd.ischen Schienen können insbesondere nach Kniegelenkoperationen u.ä. verwendet werden.Orthopedic splint The blind. Relates to a splint for orthopedic Purposes suitable for post - operative treatment. Such orthopedic Splints can be used especially after knee joint operations and the like. be used.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine orthopädische Schiene eingangs genannter Art zu schaffen, die bei einfachstem Aufbau eine sichere Funktion gewährleistet und d.ie auch der Forderung nach leichter Bedienbarkeit seitens des Patienten und/oder des betreuenden Personals voll gerecht wird.The invention is based on the object of an orthopedic splint to create the type mentioned at the outset, which has a safe function with the simplest structure guaranteed and d.the requirement for ease of use on the part of the The patient and / or the caring staff.

Dies wird erfind.ungsgernäß dadurch erreicht, daß die Schiene nur ein bzw. zwei Gelenke hat, die, mit Verstellvorrichtungen versehen, je nach Ausführung einfachstes Verstelleeder Schiene ermöglicht. Das Eigengewicht von Schiene und Bein kann durch Torsionsfedern oder ähnliches derart aufgefangen werden, daß ein Verstellen nahezu ohne Kraftaufwendung möglich wird. Die Verstellvorrichtung kann dabei derart ausgebildet sein, daß durch Lösen der Arretierung der Verstellvorrichtung(en) die Schiene beweglich wird und durch Federkraft der sich langsam wieder ausbildenden Muskelkraft entgegenwirkt.This is achieved according to the invention in that the rail only has one or two joints, which are provided with adjustment devices, depending on the design easiest adjustment of the rail is possible. The dead weight of the splint and leg can be absorbed by torsion springs or the like in such a way that an adjustment is possible with almost no effort. The adjusting device can in this way be designed that by releasing the locking of the adjusting device (s) the Rail becomes movable and slowly re-emerges due to the spring force Counteracts muscle strength.

Derzeit gibt es Schienen, die mit vier bis fünf Schrauben ( aufschrauben, verstellen, zuschrauben ) aufwendig dem Bein bzw. den Erfordernissen angepaßt werden, nach erfolgter Einstellung dann lagefixiert sind.There are currently rails that can be screwed on with four to five screws ( adjust, screw) are laboriously adapted to the leg or the requirements, are then fixed in position after setting.

Fig. 4 ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Schiene in einer Seitansicht(a). Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of a rail according to the invention in a side view (a).

Fig.5 ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Verstellvorrichtung in einem Schnitt nach der Linie A-A und einem-Schnitt nach der Linie B Bei dem Ausfuhrungsbeispiel nach Fig.1 wird der Oberschenkel an die Auflage 1 und der Fuß bzw. der Unterschenkel auf die Auflage 2 gelegt. Die Auflage 2 ist beweglich, ebenso die Vertikalstütze 3, damit sich der Fuß seine ideale Lage selbst suchen kann. Anhand einer -Stellschraube 4 kann mittels einer z.B. 5 shows an embodiment of an adjusting device in one Section along line A-A and a section along line B in the exemplary embodiment According to Figure 1, the thigh is against the support 1 and the foot or lower leg placed on support 2. The support 2 is movable, as is the vertical support 3, so that the foot can find its ideal position for itself. Using an adjusting screw 4 can by means of e.g.

Zahnung dis Höhe einreguliert werden. Die Lage des Oberschenkels wird mit der Verstellvorrichtung 5 eingestellt. Das Grundgestell 6 dient als stabilisierendes Grundelement.Teething dis height can be adjusted. The location of the thigh will adjusted with the adjustment device 5. The base frame 6 serves as a stabilizing Basic element.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 werden Ober- und Unterschenkel in den Auflagen 7 und 8 bei Betätigung der Verstellvorrichtung 9 kniewinkelstabil und vorzugsweise gegen eine Federkraft gemeinsam bewegt. Mittels der Verstellvorrichtung 10 kann der Beugewinkel des Knies vorzugsweise gegen eine Federkraft eingestellt werden. Das Grundgestell 11 dient als stabilisierendes Grundelement.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the upper and lower legs are in the supports 7 and 8 when the adjusting device 9 is actuated, the knee angle is stable and preferably moved together against a spring force. By means of the adjustment device 10, the flexion angle of the knee can preferably be adjusted against a spring force will. The base frame 11 serves as a stabilizing base element.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.3 dient eine Sitzplatte 12 als Lagefixierung für die-Schiene z.B. auf einem Bett 15. Das Bein, mit dem Knie in Verstellvorrichtungshöhe 16, liegt mit dem Oberschenkel auf der Sitzplatte 12 und mit dem Unterschenkel auf der Auflage 13 auf und wird mittels einer Beinklammer 14 auf dieser gehalten. Durch Betätigen des Hebels 17 kann mittels der Verstellvorrichtung 16 nach oben und nach unten drückende Kräfte erreicht werden, die vorzugsweise mittels verstellbaren Torsionsfedern aufgebracht werden.In the embodiment of Figure 3, a seat plate 12 is used as Position fixation for the splint e.g. on a bed 15. The leg, with the knee in Adjusting device height 16, lies with the thigh on the seat plate 12 and with the lower leg on the support 13 and is by means of a leg clamp 14 kept on this. By operating the lever 17 can by means of the adjusting device 16 upward and downward pressing forces can be achieved, preferably by means of adjustable Torsion springs are applied.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.4 unterscheidet sich von dem in Fig.2 gezeigten dadurch, daß die Drehachse des Verstellmechanismus 18 näherungsweise mit der Kniegelenkachse zusamzerfällt. Die Anordnung des Verstellmechanismus 19 ermöglicht ein Absenken nahezu in die Horizontale.The embodiment according to FIG. 4 differs from that in FIG shown in that the axis of rotation of the adjusting mechanism 18 approximately with the knee joint axis collapses. The arrangement of the adjusting mechanism 19 enables a lowering almost to the horizontal.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.5 zeigt einen Verstellmechanismus, der ohne Betätigung des federnden Druckstiftes 23 arretiert ist.
