It is intended that the disclosure of the present invention be limited only by the terms of the appended claims. And, throughout the specification, like reference numerals refer to like elements.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an orthosis for a degenerative joint and a gait discomfort according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 to 3 are exploded perspective views of the essential part.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an orthosis for a degenerative joint and a gait disorder, which are provided in a structure in which a knee and an ankle joint auxiliary unit are integrated in order to specialize related structures so that assembly can be carried out in a more improved form, Related to the technical idea of the
Above all, it is possible to reduce the pressure of the weight concentrated on the knees by fixing the thighs, and it can also reduce the force required for muscles and tendons by supporting the ankle joint by holding and fixing the calf. The present invention is directed to an
As shown in FIG. 1, the
In particular, the
The first protector surrounds the thigh and fixes the thigh using a fastening means such as a string to at least two first pressing holes provided at both ends of the first protector, and serves as a skeleton of the thigh due to the support, Due to the corresponding disposition of the rotating parts,
In other words, it is effective to reduce the pressure of the weight and to exert the supporting force capable of relieving the pain in the knee, thereby enabling the walking of the patient and the elderly.
The
Also,
In order to overcome the problems of the conventional ankle, the knee is wrapped with elastic fibers such as a compression bandage to reduce knee pain. However, The blood circulation is not smooth, and there is a great difficulty in re-wiping after the removal, and there are restrictions on the use of the gait other than the surgical patient, and the weight pressure causes calf and ankle joint pain , Which results in a large amount of energy being consumed by the knee and ankle joints in exercises such as fast walking or climbing.
In contrast to this, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the weight pressure concentrated on the knee by fixing and tightening the thigh, and it is possible to reduce the force required for muscles and tendons by supporting the ankle joint by wrapping and fixing the calf, The use of the fastening means for wrapping the soles of the feet and the foot in a state can maximize the efficiency in terms of minimizing unnecessary movements.
In addition, the present invention provides an associated fastening means for fastening the orthosis in the state of wearing shoes, thereby facilitating an easy fit.
