Definitions
- the invention relates to an orthopedic prosthesis, short orthosis, especially for people with spastic cerebral palsy.
- the sensorimotor system in humans is composed of a closed loop between the pyramidal system, which includes the brain regions (cerebrum) for motion control, and the extrapyramidal motor system, which is understood by the nerve tracts to transmit motion impulses.
- the extrapyramidal motor system receives a motion signal from the pyramidal system, whereupon the movement is carried out and subsequently a feedback to the pyramidal system, so that a closed loop is created.
- People affected by spastic cerebral palsy usually have damage in both parts of the sensorimotor control loop, which temporarily suspends motion control.
- the symptoms are characterized by high muscle tensions (muscle hypertension) or constant changes of strong and weak muscle tensions (hypotonia), which are compensated by pathological postures.
- high muscle tensions muscle hypertension
- constant changes of strong and weak muscle tensions hyperotonia
- pathological postures One of them is the misalignment of the legs when standing or walking, which is characterized by heavily bent inwards legs.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide an orthosis, in particular for people with spastic cerebral palsy and an X-leg deformity, which restricts the freedom of movement of the user little and is suitable for everyday use.
- an orthosis according to claim 1 which is provided with at least one positionable in the leg area support member for supporting, in particular struts, one leg or both legs and at least one holding device for holding the at least one support element, which is coupled to the support member is that when wearing the orthosis, the support element can be held substantially in a desired position.
- the inventive orthosis is achieved in a particularly simple manner that the legs of the user when walking and standing approximately assume the normal position. Just by positioning a support element between the legs, the buckling of the legs inwards is successfully prevented by the legs are supported or spread. By improving the leg position a better foot support, ankle and hip position is achieved at the same time, so that contractures of the user are corrected and prophylactically counteracted.
- the support element remains in a desired target position even when walking or similar movements, which is depending on the user, especially in the area between the knee and lower hip attachment.
- the user can thus perform his physical activities without having to readjust the orthosis again and again.
- the support function is ensured by the orthosis with the result that the freedom of movement and comfort of the user is little limited by the orthosis.
- the orthosis is so compact that it can be worn under everyday garments without being noticeable from the outside significantly.
- the support function and the correction of the misalignment of the legs is achieved particularly effective in that the orthosis according to the invention is equipped with two support elements, each associated with a leg and arranged by means of the holding device when worn on the inside of the respective leg.
- the thickness of the support elements can be reduced by about half compared to an orthosis with only one support element without loss of spreading force.
- the spreading force results as a reaction force from the pressure when adjoining two support elements on the inside of the legs.
- the support element is shaped so that the support element rests exactly on the inner leg area, achieved a particularly pleasant haptic impression in the user. Furthermore, this feature also provides the advantage of increased wearing comfort by minimizing possible friction between the inner leg portion and the support member.
- an orthosis according to the invention whose outer side of the support element is shaped to be adapted to the extent of misalignment of the legs, achieves in an extremely precise manner that the outward spreading force is adapted to the needs of the user.
- the profile of the outside can be varied in two axes. On the one hand, the profile of the outside along the circumference results in the size of the spreading force on the legs according to their relative position when walking.
- the support elements of which are stiffer at the ends than the central regions a longer lifetime of the support element is achieved in a particularly reliable manner.
- the orthosis according to the invention with a holding device which contains at least one adjustable strap, wherein at least one end is coupled to the support element increases in a particularly simple manner the individual adaptability of the orthosis depending on the needs of the user in everyday life and its anatomical conditions. In the same way, a reliable compliance with the desired target position is achieved.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the orthosis according to the invention consists in that the holding device has a carrying strap which can be laid around the abdominal region and each supporting element is held by means of at least one further holding strap. This embodiment achieves a particularly prominent, stable and reliable abutment of the support elements on the inner region of the legs in the desired desired position.
- the carrying strap and / or the tether has a hook-and-loop fastener with which the length can be varied. This allows the user in a particularly simple manner that he can adjust the holding device at any time with simple steps to his needs.
- the holding device has a pair of trousers, to which at least one support element is attached
- the user is offered a particularly high level of everyday suitability, since the trousers can generally be put on and taken off without the help of third parties.
- the application of the orthosis is thus also for people with physical limitations as an executable task.
- the pants has a pocket, in which a support element can be inserted.
- the trousers with a pocket achieve the particularly good protection of the support element from dirt and sweat in the application and a good positioning of the support element.
- the pants are designed in the manner of a short cycling pants, wherein the pockets are formed in the inner region.
- this embodiment offers the user a higher acceptance in his social environment.
- the trousers conceal the support elements, so that they are not visible from the outside and are not recognizable as an orthosis at first sight. The user also has the possibility of being able to wear the orthosis, for example, in private rooms without another garment or under such.
- the holding device is a combination of straps and pants with pockets for receiving a support element.
- the orthosis according to the invention with a support element made of a foam offers the user by its damping properties a particularly high wearing comfort while fulfilling the support function.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the orthosis according to the invention is that the foam is selected from the group consisting of the materials according to claim 16, which can be produced in a particularly simple manner, a foam which in its elasticity, hardness and longevity corresponds to the individual needs of the user.
- An orthosis according to the invention in which the pants are selected from a group of textile fibers according to claim 17 has the particularly advantageous properties of being elastic, skin-friendly and breathable.
- Figure 1 is a front view of the orthosis in the worn state
- Figure 2 is a rear view of the orthosis in the worn state
- Figure 3 is a sectional view from above along the line A-A.
- FIG. 1 shows an orthosis with two support elements 1, 2 positioned in the leg region for supporting in particular spreading of the legs and a holding device 4 for holding the support elements 1, 2, so that the support elements 1, 2 are held substantially in a desired position when the orthosis is worn can.
- the orthosis may also be formed with only one support element (not shown).
- Each support member 1, 2 is each assigned a leg and arranged on the inside of the respective leg so that an outward spreading force is exerted on the legs.
- the support elements 1, 2 are so curved shaped that they embrace a region on the inner thigh of a leg and in the central region 1a, 2a have a greater thickness than at the edge regions 1 b, 2b.
- the support elements 1, 2 are stiffer than the central areas 1a, 2a, whereby the coupling 6c, 7c, 8c, 9c between the tethers 6, 7, 8, 9 and support elements 1, 2 is stabilized.
- the holding device 4 is a combination of several straps 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and a pants 3 with pockets 10, 11 formed in the inner region.
