KR20020045114A - Power splint for carpal turnel - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: A power wrist support is provided to be attached simply to the wrist of a user without other special physical tools for allowing free action of both hands. CONSTITUTION: The power wrist support, which is constructed to be capable of applying a physical force to the wrist of a user in order to widen a carpal tunnel between bones, is provided with a band(1) for adjusting a size of the support exactly corresponding to a size of the wrist. In addition, a screw type tightening device(9) is installed to the rear side of the support in order to adjust a degree of a tightening force. Moreover, four supporting portions(8) are uniformly arranged on the front and rear sides of the support.

Description

Power wrist support {POWER SPLINT FOR CARPAL TURNEL}

Using the support to apply the physical force, the structural space of the narrowed CARPAL TURNEL is expanded.

The present invention is a wrist support that can be applied to the continuous force, in detail, mounted on the front and rear lower parts of the wrist by pressing a specific part to expand the narrow space (CARPAL TURNEL) between the bones and bones to release the pressure of the hands and arms It is a device that serves to soothe or soothe pain.

Conventional instruments were SPLINTs that did not apply this active force but merely supported it. This passive support is merely a bolster to minimize wrist movement, and the conventional support was not intended to treat nerve compression.

It completely escapes the nature of these supports, and contributes to eliminating or significantly reducing numbness or pain in the hands and feet by making the device equipped with the driving force using elasticity of metal or plastic.

An object of the present invention is a device that can exert an active force, can be easily attached to the wrist, without using any special external physical device or device, the hand can be used in daily life, can be used for the left or right hand or both hands at the same time You may.

It is also designed to be easily removed and worn again whenever needed.

According to the present invention, the power wrist support can easily adjust the size (1) and the strength (9) according to the user

The front of the instrument is a band (1) that can be adjusted to fit the size of the wrist, the rear of the instrument is a spiral fastener (9) to adjust the strength of the force.

Since the front band (1) has 11 small holes in the center of the band in 5mm intervals, (2) it can be worn exactly according to the size of the individual's wrist at any time within the 5cm interval. In larger cases, reducing or extending the length of the band will allow you to wear a support that fits exactly your wrist size.

The strength of the force is that if the screw (9) is turned with a screwdriver by turning the band (1) at the front of the wrist and using the screw tightening device at the back, the wrist support is rounded, so the force applied to the opposite side is increased and the opposite side of the tightening device Has the effect of increasing the CARPAL TURNEL between the bones, and on the contrary, if the band is placed on the back of the wrist and the screw is turned with a screwdriver at the front of the wrist, the bone between the bones and the bone on the side of the tightening device is rounded. As a result, the space becomes three-dimensionally wider from the inside.

As such, this one instrument can be used on both the front and back of the wrist to maximize the purpose of widening the space of the CARPAL TURNEL.

As described above, according to the present invention, by applying a continuous force to a specific portion of the wrist while wearing the physical force to expand the narrow space between the bone (CARPAL TURNEL) between the bones and structurally fundamentally released the hand and It is effective in reducing or eliminating numbness or pain in the arm. In fact, it is common to complain of numbness or pain in the hands and arms due to the compression of nerves among many people who use computer keyboards and types and those who mainly use the wrist, such as drivers.

It is a simple and convenient design that can be easily worn and taken off anytime, anywhere, and the size and force can be adjusted to allow anyone to use it on one or both hands simultaneously.The device is simple and economical as well as semi permanent. Due to the design features, the hand can be used continuously while wearing.

Claims (1)

The device was invented to apply physical force to the wrist, and the band (1) was installed at the front to adjust the size to fit the wrist, and at the rear the spiral tightening device (9) was used to adjust the magnitude of the holding force. Power wrist rests that cover the entire wrist, including two front and two back (8) sides
