Abstract

The appliance for holding a patient's arm or leg in a fixed position during a radiological examination consists of a fixed rail (1) with a stop (4) attached to one end. The patient's forearm rests on the rail (1) with the palm of the hand being pressed against the stop (4). A second stop (2) which is positionally adjustable is pressed against the upper arm (3) and fixed to the rail (1). The appliance can be used for any form of medical examination besides radiological examination. A similar appliance can be used to hold a patient's leg in a fixed position. USE - Medical examination. Taking of X-rays.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrfft eine Fixations­ vorrichtung, mit deren Hilfe sowohl der menschliche Unterarm als auch der Unterschenkel für beliebige Zeit absolut stabil, also ruhig gestellt werden können.The present invention relates to fixations device with the help of which both human Forearm as well as the lower leg for any Time absolutely stable, so be quiet can.

Diese stabile Ruhigstellung ist durch die Ein­ spannung des Unterarms (Unterschenkels) bei nahezu rechtwinkliger Beugung im Ellenbogengelenk und Handgelenk auf Grund anatomischer Gegebenheiten mög­ lich.This stable immobilization is through the one tension of the forearm (lower leg) at almost right angle flexion in the elbow joint and Wrist possible due to anatomical conditions Lich.

Sowohl Handballen als auch Oberarm sind durch ent­ sprechende Muskulatur gut und schmerzlos gepolstert, so daß eine aktive Bewegung der zu untersuchenden Extremität in dieser Haltung durch die sagittale Kompression auf den schalenförmigen Anschlag (2) und die handflächenangepaßte Abstützung (4) nur bei stärkerem Kraftaufwand möglich ist. Verhält sich der Patient passiv, so ermöglicht diese Einspannung der Extremität auch länger dauernde Untersuchungen wie z. B. die radiologische Knochendichtemessung mit einem Scanner durch Bestimmung des Calciumgehaltes des Knochens, der als Frühindikator einer beginnenden Osteoporose anzusehen ist.Both the heel of the hand and the upper arm are well and painlessly padded by the corresponding muscles, so that active movement of the extremity to be examined in this position is only possible with greater effort due to the sagittal compression on the cup-shaped stop ( 2 ) and the palm-shaped support ( 4 ) is. If the patient behaves passively, this clamping of the extremity also enables long-term examinations such as B. radiological bone density measurement with a scanner by determining the calcium content of the bone, which is to be regarded as an early indicator of the onset of osteoporosis.

Bei bisher üblicher Fixation kann die Aussagekraft der Meßergebnisse bis zur Unbrauchbarkeit dezimiert werden. Dies wird durch die oben vorgestellte Fixationsweise verhindert. In the case of fixation that has been customary to date, the significance can be significant of the measurement results decimated to unusability will. This is presented by the above Fixation prevented.
