Description

    The present invention provides a stretch effect and quick recovery from fatigue when used for injured persons or those who have been treated for broken bones, after-going golf or other sports, or for injured persons. It is an auxiliary tool that promotes and helps restore the function of people who are treating fractures.

The present invention is intended for people who have undergone rehabilitation treatment due to injury, particularly broken arm, because the muscles atrophy during the treatment, so that the forearm atrophied carpal flexor and ulnar carpal You need to stretch your flexor. Therefore, by turning the wrist outwards, the forearm part of the heel side carpal flexor and the ulnar carpal flexor muscles are stretched to suppress atrophy. It is an auxiliary tool that can be used.

    However, this kind of finger or hand function recovery aid has not been found on the market. The present applicant has previously proposed the invention described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-278453 as a function recovery aid for the above purpose.

Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-278453

The present invention solves such a problem that a function recovery aid according to the situation of an injured person or a person who has a broken arm is not provided, and it is a little easier for an injured person or a broken person. It is intended to provide an auxiliary device that promotes functional recovery so that the function of arms and arms can be improved and improved.

In the present invention, a five-finger glove having a bag part for inserting five fingers is put on the hand, the wrist part outside the glove, the thumb part is on the terminal part and the base part, and the other four fingers are A string fixed to the last and middle sections of the glove and a rubber string extended with the tip fixed to each string, or one finger, or one thumb and little finger The other end of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger bundled together is fixed to the fixed piece provided on the outer part of the wrist of the glove with the rubber string fixed piece, and the upper side of the rubber string fixed piece The fixing folding pieces extending from the inside of the wrist portion are overlapped, and the rubber cord fixing piece portion is sandwiched and fixed between the fixing piece portion and the fixing folding piece.
The wrist with the five-fingered glove is bent outward by the tension of the rubber string, thereby stretching the atrophied muscles of the forearm that are connected to the wrist, mainly the heel side carpal flexor and the ulnar carpal flexor. When the wrist is folded inward from this state and the finger is gripped, a load superior to the tension of the rubber cord is applied to the finger, hand and arm. By repeating this series of actions, the muscle strength of the fingers, hands, and arms increases, which helps to restore finger strength, grip strength, and arm strength. It is an auxiliary tool that can promote functional recovery by repeatedly performing this series of operations according to hand or finger injuries or failure states.

As described above, the present invention is an auxiliary tool for assisting in the rehabilitation of a contracted muscle of a person whose function of a forearm or a hand or a finger is lowered due to an injured person, a fracture or the like, and to measure the function.

It is the figure which attached all the fingers by attaching the auxiliary tool of this invention to the hand. It is the figure which attached the auxiliary tool to the hand and extended the finger half. It is the figure which attached the said auxiliary tool to the hand and fixed it by pinching | interposing the rubber string fixed piece part with the fixed piece part and the folding piece for fixation.

      Hereinafter, the auxiliary tool of embodiment of this invention is demonstrated based on FIG.1, FIG.2, FIG.3.

    FIG. 1 shows a state in which a finger is stretched by putting a five-finger glove on an injured hand, here a left hand. In the figure, 1 is a 5-finger glove, 2-1 is a fixing piece provided on the outside of the wrist, 2-2 is a fixing folding piece continuously extending from the inside of the wrist, and 3 is a rubber cord fixing piece. Is fixed to the fixing piece 2-1. Reference numeral 4-1 denotes a terminal part, and reference numeral 4-2 denotes a rubber cord or a cloth string fixed to the middle part. Only the thumb is attached to the terminal part and the base part. 5 is fixed to one of the 4-1 and 4-2 rubber straps or cloth straps, and the other end is bundled together, or one finger, or one thumb finger and little finger, index finger, middle finger, This is a rubber string (this third example is shown in the figure) in which three ring fingers are bundled together. The other end of the rubber cord 5 is attached to the rubber cord fixing piece 3.

    For fixing the fixing piece 2-1 and the fixing folding piece 2-2 to each other, a male surface composed of a fishing portion and a loop portion as known in the registered trademark magic tape of Kuraray Co., Ltd. The female surface is sewn. The fixing folding piece and the fixing piece may be stopped by a snap ring stop or a button stop, in addition to the locking of the collar and loop.

    However, the easiest way to adjust the fixing position according to the thickness of the wrist of the user is with the above-mentioned Velcro. In FIG. 2, the black-painted portion 6 is a reinforced portion that prevents the glove worn on the hand from moving from the wrist to the finger due to the tension of the rubber strap 5, and is made of steel or reinforced plastic. Insert or sew into the part. FIG. 2 shows a state where the finger is half gripped from the state shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the hand attached to the hand and holding the finger. The rubber strap fixing piece 3 is overlapped on the wrist fixing piece 2-1, and this is fixed by the fixing piece 2-1 and the fixing folding piece 2-2. It is the figure fixed on both sides.

    At this time, the rubber string indicated by 5 is pulled toward the fingertip side by the force that has won the elasticity it has. Therefore, the load of pulling the rubber string is applied to the finger, and at that time, the finger strength or the grip strength and the forearm can be strengthened by applying more force with the finger. By repeating this series of actions, the muscle strength of fingers, hands, and arms can be increased, and the functional recovery of these parts can be enhanced.
