SU1245309A1 - Orthopedic apparatus for lower extremity - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to prosthetics and prosthetic engineering, namely to designs of lower limb orthoses, and is intended to compensate for impaired functions of the musculoskeletal system of the patient.

The purpose of the invention is to reduce the transverse dimensions of the apparatus in the area of the ankle joint.

FIG. 1 shows an apparatus without sleeves for the thigh and shin, general view; in fig. 2 - ankle unit

The orthopedic apparatus on the lower limb contains a tire 1 thigh, tire 2 lower leg, upper and lower half ring 3 and 4 thigh, upper and lower half ring 5 and 6 lower leg, knee knot 7, ankle knot 8, insole 9 shoe, cantilever axle 10, sleeve 11 with cut under. thickened part of the axis, washer 12, nut 13, thigh and shank sleeves (not shown).

The connection between the tires of the thigh and tibia 1 and 2 and the lower extremity is carried out (1 by means of half-rings 3,4, and 5, 6 of the thigh and tibia, one end of which is fixed on the tires 1 and 2 of the thigh and tibia; all these elements are tight Attach to the lower limb of the patient with the help of the thigh sleeves and throat (not shown).

Each of the half rings of 3.4 and 5.6 thigh and lower leg covers approximately two thirds of the perimeter of the limb. Movement in the ankle joint limbs

is ensured by the fact that the sleeve 11 with a bushing under the thickened part of the axis of the ankle joint is fixed on the insole 9 of the shoe worn

on the foot, can swing on the cantilever axis, fixed, in turn, on the tire 2 tibia.

Orthopedic apparatus on the lower limb works as follows.

The device is worn on the affected limb of the patient after fitting the fastening elements of the thigh and lower leg sleeves.

The two-step execution of axis 10 increases the strength characteristics of the ankle assembly 8; the location of the cantilever axis 10 and the sleeve 11 under the insole of the shoe 9, as well as

insignificant, as compared with the width, the thickness of the supporting elements (splints) 1 and 2 of the thighs and lower legs allow minimizing the protrusion of the parts of the orthopedic apparatus over the side,

accessible to the survey, the surface of the limb, which ensures the high beauty of the orthopedic apparatus. .

In addition, the cosmetic beauty is increased by reducing the dimensions of the ankle assembly vertically, which is achieved by having a cutout on the ankle hub bottom at the location of the larger diameter axis in it.
