Description

526059 A7 B7 五、發明説明（1 ) 本發明係有關於可使保持長時間坐姿的人改善腳部血液 流通之裝置。 當人長期站立、坐下、或躺臥不動時，人體末端特別是 腳部的血液流速將明顯降低，在手術期間、手術剛結束 後、及患者已長期臥床或保持坐姿時，此血流減速或停滯 將特別顯著。亦瞭解血流停滯係為人體末端產生血栓的重 要原因，這可能對於人體造成包括死亡等嚴重傷害。 本發明提供一種腳部運動裝置，藉以可使患者能夠藉由 背部及足底屈曲以平臥或坐姿來運動其腳部肌肉，因而促 進與正常行走相關的肌肉作用。亦已顯示出足弓部容納有 一大的靜脈脈管叢，此靜脈脈管叢通常在行走或奔跑時藉 由背部及足底屈曲而受壓縮以促進流通。 根據本發明，提供一種可膨脹墊，其包含至少一囊袋以 大致接合整個足底，囊袋分隔成由一限制部互相連接之兩 段，一段用於容納一足跟區域並與用於足前部的另一段互 相連接；用於讓囊袋部份地膨脹之構件以及將空氣留置在 囊袋内之構件。 一項較佳實施例中，為了方便使用及運送，囊袋係為併 列位於可膨脹墊上之一對囊袋的元件。囊袋較佳由蒸氣滲 透性材料製成。較佳提供用於分別將囊袋或墊定位及固定 在足部上之構件，且為了舒適起見，固定構件更佳包括緩 衝部。 較佳實施例在使用時，一人將塾的兩囊袋加以部份地膨 脹、然後將墊放在即將坐下處的前方地上，足部放在各別 -4- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS) A4規格(210X 297公釐) 526059 A7 B7 五、發明説明（2 ) 的囊袋上，足跟位於後方已膨脹囊袋段的頂上。此人以足 跟往下壓並將空氣推入囊袋前段内藉以升高足部的前部。 位於足跟下方的段係收縮而使足跟下降。然後足部的前部 壓抵住囊袋且空氣送回到足跟囊袋並繼續此作用，可利用 此方式使足部撓曲，此背部及足底屈曲係模仿行走作用且 所施加的壓力亦使用腓腸肌，此種組合可確實維持靜脈速 度並防止形成血栓。 現在參照圖式以範例描述本發明的一項實施例，其中： 圖1顯示根據本發明之一對囊袋的平面圖。 參照圖1，一墊10係由兩片疊設的塑膠材料構成，這兩片 疊設的塑膠材料在周邊高頻熔接在一起並在其内部形成囊 袋11及12的型式。可方便地由譬如超音波熔接、熱密封或 黏劑結合等其他可取用的材料接合方式來取代高頻熔接。 將開孔3 1及32設置於材料上以譬如供嘴巴或泵膨脹之 用。 使用時，兩囊袋11、12部份地膨脹且將開孔關閉，可依 墊10的使用者重量來調整膨脹量，墊10放在使用者椅子的 前方地上且使用者足跟放在囊袋段14、15上方。足跟壓抵 住墊10,來自囊袋段14、15的空氣經由限制部21、22推入 囊袋段16、17内藉以揚升足部的前部。使用者隨後在段 16、17上往下壓以將空氣推回到段14、15内並繼續此循 環。只要使用者坐著即進行此循環，使用者可依照何者較 舒適而同時或交替式壓抵足跟段。 可藉由較佳具有緩衝的適當固定構件（未圖示）將墊10固 -5- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS) A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 526059 A7 B7 五 發明説明（3 持在位置中。 可在任何延長的坐姿期間（譬如旅行、公共場所或家中）使 用此墊，因為可在人員坐下的同時使用此墊來促進靜脈血 液流動，所以可使用此墊提供連續的預防效果，亦可在穿 戴用於促進靜脈血流的彈性襪時使用此墊。 -6 - 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS) A4規格(210X297公釐)
