Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an upper body supporting apparatus, and more particularly, to an upper body supporting apparatus, which increases abdominal pressure of a weak upper body to compensate for stability, efficiently disperses the weight of a paralyzed arm in a symmetrical structure, To an upper body supporting device for a hemiplegic patient, which can artificially prevent, delay, and suppress the subluxation progression of the shoulder joint.
In general, the use of the arm is limited after fixation of the cast for union of the upper arm or upper arm or fracture of the elbow joint. At this time, the arm that is heavy due to the fixing of the Gibbs is put on the user's neck like a necklace by using the armrest.
In addition, in recent years, the conventional armrest, which has been used for patients who have difficulty in using the arm due to a fracture or a large wound as described above, is applied to the case where it is difficult to use the arm due to nerve damage or paralysis due to nerve damage. In other words, armrests that have been used in the orthopedic field have been widely used in neurology, neurosurgery, and rehabilitation medicine.
On the other hand, due to various diseases or accidents, the supply of oxygen to the brain cells due to hemorrhagic, ischemic, hypoxic, and hypotensive factors is not properly performed, and when brain cells are damaged, paralysis occurs on either side of the body, This is called hemiplegia. Patients with such hemiplegic symptoms often have arm rests during walking because their legs are recovered faster than their upper extremities. In addition, according to the recovery pattern of cranial nerve, it develops initially in relaxation hemiplegia and progresses to rigid hemiplegia. Armrest is mainly used in relaxation hemiplegic patient.
Since the existing armrests were designed to fix the shoulder joints and upper limbs to the upper body, they were modified to suppress and conquer the dislocation of the shoulder joint with hemiplegic patients. As shown in Fig. 1, the above-mentioned improved armrests are connected to the upper shoulder straps 2 and the lower shoulder straps 4 with a shoulder
However, the following problems have arisen when the above-mentioned improved armrest is used for hemiplegic patients.
First, the dislocation of the shoulder joint progresses with the abduction, downward and downward rotation of the wing bone (shoulder blade), as well as the abduction of the shoulder joint (humerus), forward flexion and internal rotation in the hemiplegic patient. These wing bone deformities are referred to as wing scapular, and the arm can not be lifted due to the above-mentioned scapular scapula. However, the conventional modified armrest has a structure in which only the shoulder joint is fixed and the wing bone is not gripped, so that the deformed symptoms of the wing bone can not be improved.
Second, hemiplegic patients use deltoid to compensate for the inability of the deep extremity muscles to paralyze. When the arm function is restored to a certain level, when the arm is abducted to the side, the bone and bone collide to cause a pain Syndrome (shoulder impingement syndrome).
Third, the conventional improved armrest is formed by a structure in which the weight of the paralyzed arm is required to bear a considerable burden on the shoulder and the torso having paralysis, so that the body tilts toward the side having the hemiplegic symptom and performs the daily living such as walking There was a problem showing an asymmetric gait pattern tilted to one side.
In order to solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide an upper body supporting apparatus for a hemiplegic patient.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an upper body fixing apparatus comprising: an upper body fixing unit including a fastening portion at both ends thereof to be held in contact with a chest of a patient; A pair of shoulder belts connected to the upper ends of the upper and lower body fixing parts so as to be respectively fixed to the upper and lower shoulder upper parts of the patient; A pair of upper fixing parts connected to upper portions of both upper sides of the upper body fixing part so as to surround and clamp the upper arms of the patient, And a pair of pulling wire portions connected to an upper end of the upper leg fixing portion and an upper end of the shoulder belt portion and formed of a material having an elastic restoring force.
Here, it is preferable that a cushion pad of a stretchable material is provided inside the upper and lower fixing parts so as to enclose the upper and lower arms.
Preferably, the upper body fixing part includes a buffer part formed of a stretchable material so as to be closely attached to the chest part, and a binding part provided on the outer side of the buffer part, the binding part being formed of an inelastic material to press and fix the chest part of the patient Do.
At this time, it is preferable that a connecting piece directly connected to the upper end of the upper body fixing part is provided on the upper body fixing part.
The pair of shoulder belts are preferably connected to each other by a shoulder belt supporting part formed of an elastic material.
Through the above solution, the upper body support device for hemiplegic patient of the present invention provides the following effects.
First, the upper fixing part is symmetrically provided on both upper ends of the upper body fixing part, and the coupling part of the inelastic material provided with the buffer part inside the upper body fixing part tightly supports the upper body of the patient. The shoulder joint is strongly constrained so as not to rotate the upper fixing part directly connected to both upper ends of the upper body fixing part so as to support the shoulder joint in the upward direction from the lower side so that the shoulder joint connected with the paralyzed arm Progression of joint dislocation can be suppressed strongly.
Second, the cushioning portion of a stretchable material surrounding the user's chest, the binding portion of the inelastic material provided on the outer side of the cushioning portion, and the upper fixing portion directly connected to both upper ends of the upper body fixing portion are electrically connected, , It is possible to replace the muscle with paralysis by applying an elastic force, so that the weight of the paralyzed arm and the external impact are transmitted to other parts, thereby remarkably improving the stability and correcting the asymmetrical posture and walking of the hemiplegic patient .
Third, the structure including the cushioning portion of the elastic material of the upper body fixing portion and the binding portion of the non-elastic material wrapping the upper body of the hemiplegic patient not only raises the pressure of the upper body between the upper body and the upper body, Because the stability of the proximal and shoulder joints is secured and the anterior and posterior rotation of the scapula are suppressed and suppressed, it can be helpful to rehabilitate the patient by correcting the erroneous posture and abnormal anatomical arrangement.
Fourth, the upper fixing part directly symmetrically connected to the binding part of the inelastic material and the upper end thereof directly protects the paraplegic shoulder joint from external impact and suppresses adduction and internal rotation of the paralyzed upper part, And the pain caused by the shoulder impingement syndrome caused by the strong contraction of the front part of the deltoid muscle and the deltoid muscle located in the surface layer can be reduced and the stability can be remarkably improved.
