Description

Active action therapy device for 50 shoulders to enhance joint electricity

The 50-shoulder active therapy device for enhancing joint electricity of the present invention has its new technical characteristics originated from the "joint electricity theory" and its application theory created by the inventor Kang Shumei, which uses the superior components of joint electricity as movement therapy The advantage component (Using the Favorable Component for Joint-Electricity-Generation as the favorable component in motion therapy)". The present invention is a motion therapy device aimed at the problems of shoulder joint movement obstacles and soft tissue pain (such as fifty shoulders, and other similar fifty shoulders shoulder movements and pain problems). In particular, it refers to an action therapy device that uses the special structure of the action therapy device to apply force to the shoulder joint during active movement training to increase the joint electricity of the shoulder joint, thereby promoting the active movement ability of the shoulder joint.

Fifty shoulders are also called frozen shoulder, viscous shoulder joint capsulitis, or shoulder stiffness of unknown etiology. The symptoms are mainly shoulder pain and difficulty in active movement, such as arm muscle weakness and limited movement angle. It is often heard The complaints include not raising the arms, not being able to buckle the underwear button behind, and even being unable to comb hair or scratch the back in severe cases. There are many opinions on the cause of the fifty shoulders, and its disease There are many hypotheses. The mainstream of the literature is (1) adhesive capsulitis, (2) fibrosis of some related tissues of the shoulder joint, but the cause is unknown, so it is also called "Idiopathic stiff shoulder with unknown etiology"; (That is to say, the fifty shoulders did not originate from the primary joint capsulitis. If the joint capsulitis is found, it should be a secondary occurrence). Under the concept of this pathology, the mainstream of the treatment method is joint injection followed by rehabilitation treatment, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and home exercise. The time required for significant improvement of the treatment usually exceeds the patient’s patience. Patients therefore seek capsular release (or release of scapulohumeral motion interface) or mobilization with high intensity stretch (mobilization with high intensity stretch). Although there are literatures indicating that the effect of improving the amplitude of faster motion can be obtained, However, literature reports have shown that many patients have symptoms of recurrence, but after all, it is not easy for patients to undergo another joint operation or joint mobilization under anesthesia. It can be seen that Fifty Shoulders is still a pain that has not yet been treated with satisfactory treatment, and there is no related active treatment device on the market.

The theoretical basis of the 50-shoulder active therapy device for enhancing the joint electricity of the present invention: It is the "joint electricity theory" created by the inventor Kang Shumei. The part of the theory related to the present invention includes at least the following points: (1) , Joint electricity is produced by the "piezoelectric property" of "normal articular cartilage" and the "dynamic force" within the effective range of the joint. Conversely, if for any reason, its "dynamic force" is too large to exceed the effective range, joint electricity cannot be generated at that time; in addition, if the "dynamic force" is not large enough, the amount of joint electricity generated will also Will be insufficient. (2), "Joint-structure tissues" (joint capsules, ligaments, tendons, ...) and the "related muscles" of the joint (muscles connected to its tendons or adjacent to articular cartilage or located on the surface of the joint) Called "the related tissues of the joint", they must be moisturized by the joint electricity generated by the joint (Joint-Electricity-nurtured). In more detail, the joint electricity generated in part of the joint (such as the front part) can moisturize the related tissues of the joint (the front part of the joint). The aforementioned moisturizing has the function of maintaining the length and tension of the joint structure and tissue of the part and the related muscles of the joint in the normal part and getting ready for subsequent contraction of these muscles. If the moisturizing is insufficient, there will be pain, the soft tissue of that part of the joint will become shorter or lack of tension, the active and passive joint motion angle of that part of the joint will become smaller, the muscle strength of these muscles will decrease, and in the worst case Problems such as fibrosis of these local tissues occur. (3) Limbs that are obstructed or insufficient in the generation of joint electricity in a certain part of a joint, because the joint structure of the part and related muscles can get insufficient nourishment of joint electricity, so the tension of these tissues is insufficient. The value of the dynamic force in the joint that can be obtained by that part of the joint is reduced, so that it is unable to generate sufficient joint electricity. Such a vicious circle makes it less and less moisturizing because of insufficient moisturization. The resulting problems (as described in (2)) are becoming more and more serious. (4) Since the active movement requires muscle contraction, and according to the "joint electrical theory", the muscle contraction needs to be moisturized by the joint electricity first, so the active movement of the related muscles of the patient's joint as described in (3), The joint electricity should be properly supplemented, or "equipment capable of enhancing the joint electricity during movement (such as the present invention)", so that it can perform exercise training under the condition of generating increased joint electricity. (5). Theories related to joint electricity based on "theory of joint electricity" include: When the dynamic force of a certain part of the joint within the joint does not exceed its effective range, when the dynamic force is large, the joint electricity that can be generated is greater than that when the dynamic force is small ; When the relatively large dynamic force does not exceed its effective range, it can be called "Favorable Component for Joint-Electricity Generation". Therefore, for joints that are impeded in the generation of joint electricity (especially those where the dynamic force value in at least one part of the joint is too low), if you use the hands of a professional therapist or borrow it during the exercise therapy Appropriate equipment (or devices) to appropriately increase the dynamic force of the local part of the joint (but not beyond its effective range), thereby achieving the goal of treating the related movement disorder, can be called by creating the "Using the Favorable Component for Joint-Electricity-" to achieve the effect of the treatment of related movement disorders in this part of the joint is called "Using the Favorable Component for Joint-Electricity- Generation as the favorable component in motion therapy)” (but for joints whose dynamic force has exceeded or is about to exceed its effective range, this increased dynamic force is harmful, let alone its dominant component). An example is as follows: For example, in order to increase the muscle strength of the arm before the fifty shoulders, the structure of the therapeutic device of the present invention can be used to appropriately apply force to the front part of the shoulder joint during the active action of the user to increase the shoulder. The dynamic force of the anterior part of the joint (and still within its effective range), that is, by correctly using the therapeutic device of the present invention to create the "advantageous component of joint electricity generation" in the anterior part of the shoulder joint, it can be achieved Improve the joint electricity of the anterior part of the shoulder joint, so as to obtain the muscle strength and movement range of the active movement of the advancement of the arm forward. This same principle can be used to promote the improvement of muscle strength and range of motion in other parts of the joint, even for Other problems related to low dynamic forces in the joints. The "Active Action Therapy Device for Fifty Shoulders with Enhanced Joint Electricity" of the present invention is one of the inventions in which the above-mentioned theory is applied to the problem of painful shoulders accompanied by movement disorders. (6) Fifty shoulders (also known as frozen shoulder, viscous shoulder capsitis, or shoulder stiffness of unknown etiology), according to the pathology of the "electrical joint theory", it is caused by any possible cause of "insufficient electric joint" , And, the result of the vicious circle of daily life movements (both active movements) and wrong self-attempted movement therapy under the condition that the joint is not supplemented with joint electricity; hereby it is explained that the symptoms of the fifty shoulder belong to the shoulder joint The problem of insufficient moisturization of related tissues, that is, the joint electricity generated by the shoulder joint is insufficient, so that the related tissues of the joint cannot be moisturized enough. According to the "joint electrical theory", the tissues should be painful and their muscle strength will be reduced. If the joint electricity is not replenished for a period of time, the length of these tissues will be significantly reduced, so there will be a problem that the active and passive motion ranges of the joints are reduced (for other details, please refer to (2)(3) )(4)). In addition, the shoulder joint has multiple joints anatomically and their movements must be coordinated with each other. When the joints are insufficient in electricity and their muscles cannot automatically maintain their coordinated movements, they are especially vulnerable to incorrect passive movements by the patient or his family. Or reluctant self-exercise (such as throwing high), or active movements at a larger angle necessary for activities of daily living, resulting in muscle overwork, tissue injury, and more pain. The consequences of this shoulder joint in many patients become "joint Structural tissue injury or inflamed joints", so when the so-called fifty-shoulder patient goes to see a doctor, although the patient has never experienced trauma or real sports injury, it is already accompanied by secondary joint inflammation, tissue stickiness, etc. The problematic joint, and the adhesion of the joint capsule at least makes the joint capsule thicker and rough, which will inevitably hinder the angle, speed, and even direction of its action, and it is not conducive to the shoulder joint The dynamic force in the joint during movement is effectively increased or effectively transmitted to the articular surface. Therefore, the so-called joint problem of fifty shoulders at least includes the problem that the dynamic force that the articular cartilage can receive during movement is obviously insufficient. (7). The "Therapeutic Strategies Under the Pathology Deduced by the Above-mentioned "Arthrodesis Theory" of Fifty Shoulders" which are related to the present invention include at least: the repair of the tissue needs to supplement the joint electricity, and the increase in the length of the tissue must also go through Supplementing proper joint electricity to increase the moisture it receives is the "Sue-May Kang's Increasing Plasticity Theory" in the modeling theory created by the inventor Kang Shumei. Therefore, the training of the active movement of the fifty shoulders It is necessary to cooperate with appropriate treatment methods or appropriate equipment to make it actively move while effectively increasing the generation of joint electricity, so that the tissue can be repaired and gradually restored to its length. The aforementioned appropriate equipment includes the "Active Action Therapy Device for Fifty Shoulders to Enhance Joint Electricity" created by the inventor (the principle has been described in (5) and will be detailed in (9)). (8) The “Active Action Therapy Device for Fifty Shoulders to Enhance Joint Electricity” of the present invention can be created by the inventor Kang Shumei “Using the Favorable Component for Motion Therapy (Using the Favorable Component for "Joint-Electricity-Generation-Generation as the favorable component in motion therapy)" theory" designed the "force application interface", in the active action in the target direction, to the main movement muscle (prime mover) of the affected shoulder joint Appropriate force is applied to the joints on that side to increase the joint electricity of the side where the main motor muscles of the movement are located, so that these muscles can obtain more joint electricity during the exercise of the movement, so that the tissues Get enough moisture to increase the muscle strength of the active action and the range of the active action. Using the present invention to train active movements can reduce their pain and gradually increase their active movements. Angle to gradually improve the movement function of their daily life. Therefore, the present invention is also referred to as an "active exercise training device for enhancing the electrical impact of the shoulder joint". Therefore, patients with fifty shoulders can use the present invention to at least immediately perceive and reduce their pain and immediately measure the effect of increasing their axial (non-rotational) active motion range; the present invention can also be applied to cope with other painful shoulders other than fifty shoulders. Because painful shoulders are usually accompanied by movement obstacles, the so-called movement obstacles mainly refer to the lack of angle of their active movements, so the present invention can be used in the process of removing the main cause of the disease to help their active movements make faster progress. Moreover, the principle and similar structure of the present invention can also be applied to other joints, and the application of the present invention to the shoulder is just one example. (9). The present invention has been tested on the shoulder joints of fifty shoulders, and it is determined that the aforementioned therapeutic effects can be achieved; including immediate effects (that is, the progress can be immediately perceived and measured), and after several days (to several weeks) The use of the present invention in the training of active movements will reduce the pain in the tissues, and the painless active movement angle can be significantly increased, and its maximum improvement can reach the maximum axial movement amplitude under the rotation limit of the shoulder joint value. (10). Another theory of the inventor, Kang Shumei, based on the "Electrical Joint Theory", "The Theory of Controlled-Constant-Angle Isometric Contraction" points out: It is defined as "The ratio of the angle of the joint to the same Isotonic contraction should not exceed 6 seconds (some people can increase to 10 seconds, some people have less than 6 seconds, there are individual differences). During this period, the "dynamic force" in the joints is almost zero. Joint electricity is generated; therefore, any exercise training or evaluation should avoid isotonic contraction over time like "Angle Contrast Isotonic Contraction", even if it is training and evaluation within the treatment time of fifty shoulder patients, including the use of the present invention The movement of "The Active Action Therapy Device for Fifty Shoulders" It should be avoided when training or evaluating its training results (such as the maximum accessible angle at the time). (11). The inventor’s research has compared the effects with or without the use of the force application interface (with or without force on the shoulder joint), which proves the above-mentioned "joint electrical theory" and "50 shoulder pathology hypothesis deduced from the joint electrical theory ", and the curative effect of the present invention, and its mechanism.

The technical means of the present invention to solve the problems of the prior art: Based on the "Articulation Theory" created by the inventor Kang Shumei and its application theory "Using the Favorable Component "for Joint-Electricity-Generation as the favorable component in motion therapy)" created by "the 50-shoulder active therapy device for joint-electricity enhancement". The composition structure of the so-called active motion therapy device for the 50-shoulder that enhances joint electricity may include a straight arm, one or more arm straps, a hand position, and one or more force application interface portions. The so-called straight arm has at least the function of fixing the arm in the straight posture, and has sufficient longitudinal rigidity and comfortable contact with the arm surface, and a length sufficient to fix the target arm in the straight posture; The technical characteristics can be achieved by the following manufacturing methods: it is made of sheet-like structures of unequal or equal thickness, and can be designed with or without ventilation. The design of ventilation refers to the hollows or gaps of various shapes on the sheet; However, the detailed manufacturing method of the so-called straight arm is common knowledge in the field. The so-called arm fixation belt has the function of reliably fixing the so-called straight arm on the user’s straightened arm on the affected side. It can be added or directly fixed to the proximal shoulder, proximal end, and proximal end of the straight arm. And the position corresponding to the elbow (can be reduced depending on the situation of the case), but the method of making the arm band and individual cases The area where the arm band is used is the common knowledge of professionals in the field of arm motion therapy. The so-called hand position part has at least the function of fixing the hand of the affected side in the active action therapeutic device of the present invention. It is connected to the proximal hand end of the straight arm part and has a hand grip part corresponding to the position where the hand is held. The shape can be a shape that is easy to be held by the user's hand, or a shape sufficient to fix the position of the hand. The so-called shape that is easy to be held by the user's hand can be a stick-holding shape. The so-called force application interface is used to apply force to the shoulder joint by the other hand (the therapist’s hand or the hand of the healthy side) during active movement, and is set at the so-called straight arm Corresponding to the position of the arm in the direction of movement, the so-called force application interface has a "shape that is easy to apply force to the shoulder joint with the other hand", such as the opening on a straight arm that faces away from the shoulder joint Convex or additional grooves; however, the detailed shape that is easy to apply force to the shoulder joint with the other hand is familiar knowledge in the field of force application interface"; if the force application interface part is When there are more than one, it can be connected to the so-called straight arm that corresponds to the front and side of the arm, and its integrated angle. When active, choose the one that is located in the direction of movement at the time and apply it toward the shoulder joint. Appropriate force; when there is only one force application interface, the so-called force interface is set on the straight arm at a position corresponding to the front or side of the arm, or its combined angle, during active exercise training The arm can be first fixed in the outward turning posture, and then the direction of movement can be selected so that the force application interface is located in the direction of its movement, so as to apply appropriate force in the direction of the shoulder joint. Fifty-shoulder patients using the present invention can at least reduce pain and increase the muscle strength of the muscles of the joint to be applied and the amplitude of their active movements during active exercise training. The present invention can also be used to cope with other painful shoulders other than fifty shoulders, and help them take the initiative in the process of removing their main causes. Make faster progress. Moreover, the principle and similar structure of the present invention can also be applied to other joints, and the application of the present invention to the shoulder is just one example.

Another feature of the present invention is that the component structure of the so-called 50-shoulder active therapy device with enhanced joint electricity can also include a sliding part, which can be used in the early stage of treatment (or the joint electricity is low, or the movable angle of the joint is very limited , Or its muscles are prone to fatigue and other serious illnesses) during exercise training, the end can be used to slide on a fixed surface (such as a wall) to reduce the weight of the arm and the treatment device; the so-called sliding part can be It is a length that extends from the hand position to the distal end or is connected to the appropriate position of the straight arm, and its end has a low friction design for easy sliding, such as smooth, small, and circular arc shape, but, The low-friction design method of the tip is common knowledge in this field; the so-called sliding part can be directly fixed to the hand position or straight arm, or connected to the hand position or straight arm with a connecting device. Take it down; the so-called connection device is for example a screw, but the type of connection device is common knowledge in the field.

必要時，可加上使用滑行部，將其末端滑行於某固定於該使用者之前方或側方之物體之表面(如牆壁)，以減輕來自手臂及該治療器之重量之負擔。所稱主動動作之訓練，為該患側手臂主動之運動並且企圖增強其主動動作之角度，如前舉高(shoulder flexion)、側舉高(shoulder abduction))、平面側舉(shoulder horizontal abduction))、及其綜合角度之動作等軸向(非旋轉向)動作，但不包括甩手；且為了配合肩關節之特殊解剖構造，前述舉高於超過120度以後應同時漸增手臂之外轉、故可以一開始就先固定其手臂姿勢於可能之最大外轉角度於所稱之直臂部，然後進行前述之舉高動作之訓練；使用本發明於動作治療時應選用位於當時手臂運動方向上之施力界面部，以進行該動作中之對肩關節之施力，當其主動動作為前舉時，可以選用當時位於手臂前方之施力界面部，當其主動動作為平面側舉時，可以選用位於當時手臂該側方之施力界面部，當其主動動作為其綜合之角度之舉高時，可以選用位於當時手臂運動方向之施力界面部，當其主動動作為側舉高時，可以將手臂儘量外轉並選用位於當時手臂運動方向之 施力界面部(如果其外轉角度足夠的話其實是手臂前方之施力界面部)。 The method of using the 50-shoulder active therapy device of the invention is as follows. The user's arm is straightened, and the straight arm is fixed to the straightened arm with the so-called arm fixing band, and the hand of the affected side The part can be held (or suitably fixed to the hand position part with a fixing band); then during the active movement training of the arm, the user’s movement therapist's hand is positioned in the direction of movement at the time The so-called force application interface can apply appropriate force to the shoulder joint, or the professional therapist can allow the patient’s healthy hand to apply force to the shoulder joint in the same way when the case has been confirmed; The "appropriate force" is not to apply force to the active direction of the affected arm . , But to apply force toward the shoulder joint. At the same time, it should be avoided that the force is too large to exceed the effective range of the dynamic force in the joint at the time of the case. However, the value of the force is an individualized value, which varies from case to case. The severity of the illness, the stage of recovery, and the weight of the upper arm are different. The professional movement therapist can determine the most appropriate individualized value for the case at each time in the treatment process based on the foregoing and its clinical experience. In addition, in order to make the training of active movements in the early stage of treatment easier,

If necessary, a sliding part can be added to slide its end on a surface (such as a wall) fixed to the front or side of the user to reduce the weight of the arm and the treatment device. The so-called active movement training refers to the active movement of the affected arm and the attempt to enhance the angle of its active movement, such as shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction, and shoulder horizontal abduction) , Axial (non-rotational) movements such as movements with comprehensive angles, but excluding hand throwing; and in order to match the special anatomical structure of the shoulder joint, the aforesaid lifts above 120 degrees should also gradually increase the outward rotation of the arm. You can fix the arm posture at the maximum possible outward rotation angle in the so-called straight arm at the beginning, and then perform the aforementioned lifting exercise training; when using the present invention, the arm movement direction should be selected in the direction of the arm movement. The force application interface part is used to apply force to the shoulder joint in the action. When the active action is forward lift, the force application interface part located in front of the arm can be selected. When the active action is flat side lift, you can Choose the force interface part located on the side of the arm at that time. When the active action is the lifting of the integrated angle, you can choose the force interface part located in the direction of the arm movement at that time. When the active action is side elevation, The arm can be turned outward as much as possible and the force application interface part located in the direction of arm movement at the time (if its outward rotation angle is sufficient, it is actually the force application interface part in front of the arm).

Precautions for the use of the 50-shoulder active treatment device for enhancing joint electricity of the present invention: For patients with insufficient active motion of the shoulder joint and pain (such as fifty-shoulder), when using the present invention for active exercise training, they should It can be used (or learned to use) under the guidance (supervise) and assistance of its professional therapist (functional therapist or physiotherapist trained in such theoretical courses and using the method of the present invention). Since the shoulder joint actually includes multiple joints, the increase in the angle of movement (especially between 120 and 180 degrees) requires the coordination of axial and rotational movements. Therefore, the professional therapist should educate these two joints at the beginning. Cooperate with the action; and before use, the so-called straight arm should be properly and properly fixed to the straight arm of the affected side. If it is not properly fixed, start using it. It will not be easy to control the correct direction of force. If the direction is not correct, it will have a bad effect; and it should be noted that when lifting in different directions, the force application interface of each direction of movement must be selected (details are as described in [0006]); The active action therapeutic device" has a force application interface for applying appropriate force to the shoulder joint, for example, with the hand of a professional therapist or the patient’s healthy hand, the so-called force application interface is used to apply force to the shoulder joint To achieve the mechanism of enhancing the joint electricity, care should be taken to ensure that the direction of the force is correct and the size is appropriate, so as to avoid the deflection of the force and/or the force that exceeds the effective range of the dynamic force in the joint at the time of the case. ; And in the aforementioned motion therapy, there should be a concept of "small and gradual training and divided into multiple trainings (the number of repeated lifts for each training should not be too many) to avoid fatigue"; and do not when each movement reaches the maximum angle "Over effort", that is, do not continue to try to increase the angle at the same angle (but it does not actually increase the angle), Instead, it causes isotonic shrinkage like "Angle Comparison Isotonic Shrinkage" (as described in [0003] (10)). If it exceeds the limit time (about 6 seconds, each case may be different), there may be undesirable consequences. Some patients have a lower tolerance to "Angle than Isotonic Contraction", and this adverse effect may occur in a shorter time. After confirming that the patient has learned the correct use and precautions, the professional therapist may allow the patient to buy (or rent) an appropriate (individualized as described in the following paragraph) of the present invention "The 50-shoulder active movement to enhance joint electricity The treatment device is used in his home and trained in the same way.

The individualized design of the 50-shoulder active therapy device of the present invention to enhance the joint electricity: the present invention can provide individual and suitable length, width or shape of the straight arm according to the length, fat and thinness of the upper limbs of the case, and according to the individual The individual differences in the shape and size of the hand and the holding power provide the appropriate size and shape of the hand grip and its corresponding position with the straight arm.

The utility of the 50-shoulder active therapy device of the present invention to enhance joint electricity is better than that of the prior art: the use of the present invention in active exercise training has the following advancements: the present invention is developed based on the theory of joint electricity and can be assisted by this device , To obtain effective supplementation of joint electricity during active movement, so that the relevant muscles can get more sufficient moisture, not only reduce its original pain, but also improve the movement range of active movement; using the present invention in active movement training has Its immediate effect (that is, the progress can be immediately sensed and measured), and after several days (to several weeks) using the present invention in active movement training, the pain of the tissue will gradually decrease, and its painless initiative The angle of action can be significantly increased. Because the device of the present invention can achieve obvious therapeutic effects more quickly, it actually greatly reduces the physical consumption and various medical costs of the therapist, and improves the disease more quickly. The quality of life and the function of daily life movements.

Figure 1 is a schematic back view of an embodiment of the active action therapy device for 50 shoulders with enhanced joints of the present invention; Figure 2 is a side view of the embodiment of Figure 1 of the present invention (when the force application interface is one) Schematic diagram; and Figure 3 is a schematic side view of the embodiment of Figure 1 of the present invention (when there are more than one force application interface portions).

The technical means of the present invention to solve the problems of the prior art. Based on the "Joint Electricity Theory" created by the inventor Kang Shumei and its related application theory "Using the Favorable Component for Joint-Electricity-Generation as the favorable component" "In motion therapy)" created "The 50-shoulder active motion therapy device with enhanced joint electricity". The technical feature of the motion therapy device is mainly that the special structure of this motion therapy device applies force to the shoulder joint during active motion training. In particular, apply force to the main action muscles of the shoulder joint that are related to the movement at the time to increase A motion therapy device for electric joints of the shoulder joints, thereby enhancing the active motion range of the motion. The composition of the so-called 50-shoulder active treatment device for enhancing joint electricity can include a straight arm 1, one or more arm straps 2, a hand position portion 3, and one or more force application interface portions 4 . The so-called straight arm 1 has at least the function of fixing the arm in the straight posture, has sufficient longitudinal rigidity and comfortable contact with the arm surface, and is sufficient to fix the length of the target arm in the straight posture (for example, its length can be Including the upper half of the forearm, the elbow, and the lower half of the upper arm, but it can be longer or shorter depending on the number of force interface parts and/or the ability to maintain the elbow straightening by itself. The more the number of parts, the longer the length of the straight arm should be (for example, the straight arm in Figure 3 is longer than that in Figure 2). When the patient’s ability to maintain straightness is lower, the length of the straight arm should be lower It should also be longer; however, the length determined by the individual circumstances of the ability to maintain straightness by itself is the general knowledge in the professional field of arm motion therapy); the technical characteristics of the straight arm can be achieved by the following production method: It is made of sheet-like structures of unequal or equal thickness (as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3), which can be designed with or without ventilation. The design of ventilation refers to the hollows of various shapes on the sheet. Or gaps; however, the detailed manufacturing method of the so-called straight arm is the usual knowledge in the field. The so-called arm fixing band 2 has the function of reliably fixing the so-called straight arm 1 on the user’s straightened arm on the affected side. It can be attached or directly fixed to the proximal shoulder of the straight arm 1. The near hand and the position corresponding to the elbow (as shown in Figure 3), but it can be reduced according to the situation of the case. For example, when the case can maintain the straight arm by itself (such as a simple fifty-shoulder patient), it corresponds to Those with elbows don’t need to use them (as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2); however, the so-called arm strap manufacturing method and the use of arms in individual cases The position of the fixing belt is the general knowledge in the field. The so-called hand position 3 has at least the function of fixing the hand of the affected side in the active action therapeutic device of the present invention, and is connected to the proximal end of the straight arm 1 and has a hand grip at the position corresponding to the hand grip The shape of the portion 31 can be a shape that is easy to be held by the user's hand, or a shape sufficient to fix the position of the hand. The so-called shape that is easy to be held by the user's hand can be a stick-holding type (such as Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 are shown). The so-called force application interface part 4 is used to apply force to the shoulder joint by the other hand (the therapist's hand or the hand of the healthy side) during active action, and is set at the so-called straight arm It corresponds to the position of the arm movement direction; the so-called force application interface has a "shape that is easy to use the other hand to apply force to the shoulder joint", such as the opening on the straight arm that faces away from the shoulder joint Convex or additional grooves (as shown in Figures 2 and 3); however, the so-called detailed shape that is easy to use the other hand to apply force to the shoulder joint is the usual familiarity in the field of force application interface Knowledge; if there is more than one force application interface part 4, it can be connected to the so-called straight arm part corresponding to the front and side of the arm, and its integrated angle position (as shown in Figure 3) ). It is used to choose the direction of action to apply appropriate force to the shoulder joint direction during active action; when there is only one force application interface portion 4, the so-called force application interface portion 4 is set on the corresponding straight arm At the front of the arm (as shown in Figure 2), or the side, or its comprehensive angle position, during active exercise training, you can first fix the posture of the arm in the outward rotation, and then select the direction of movement to make the force application interface It is located in the direction of its motion to apply appropriate force to the shoulder joint direction; and multiple motion therapeutic devices of the present invention with the force application interface at different positions can be purchased. Fifty-shoulder patients can at least reduce pain and increase the force-applied joint position when using the present invention in active exercise training. The muscle strength of the related muscles and the effect of active motion range. The present invention can also be used to cope with other painful shoulders other than fifty shoulders, and help them to make more rapid progress in their active actions in the process of removing their main causes. In addition, the principle and similar structure of the present invention can also be applied to other problematic joints related to "the dynamic force in the joint is too low". The application of the present invention to the shoulder is just one example.
