TWM490774U - Ankle-foot orthosis - Google Patents

Abstract

The ankle-foot orthosis is made by low-temperature plastic material (can be called for splint). We use the splint surrounding ankle spirally, and end to half height of calf. This orthosis is used to avoid facilitating hemiplegia's spasticity of foot, and enhancing walking speed, comfort in daily life.

Description

Ankle strap

The present invention relates to an ankle-loading device, which is mainly used for avoiding the tension of the foot of the stroke case, increasing the walking speed, and making the case more comfortable to wear.

There are two main types of ankle-loading equipments known in the art. Front-mounted ankle-loading equipment and rear-mounted ankle-loading equipment are currently used mainly in Taiwan and used in stroke cases to suppress footing and improve walking speed. . The front-mounted ankle-loading device mainly uses a pre-cut a pair of wood to shape the stroke case, and the main bonding points are on both sides of the device, and a fastening tape is arranged on the back side of the calf and the ankle. In order to maintain the angle of the foot.

There are several things to be strengthened in the production, wear and use of the front-mounted ankle-loading equipment commonly used in Taiwan. For example: 1. The pre-cut amulet prototype is not necessarily suitable for the foot shape of the case. 2. The bonding point of the fixture is easy to break when worn for a long time and is not easy to repair. 3. When using the device, it will induce the tension of the foot of the case, making it inconvenient to walk.

Therefore, it is necessary to produce a new type of equipment suitable for a stroke case, which is easy to modify and does not induce foot tension, so that the case can improve walking ability in daily life.

This foot-loading device mainly measures the foot shape according to the anatomical position of the foot of the case, and cuts out a rectangular sub-wood to help shape the case. The width of the secondary wood is measured by the internal hemorrhoids of the foot. The center controls the position of the bottom of the inner foot to the position of the bottom of the inner foot of the fifth metatarsal head. The length is measured, from the bottom of the scaphoid bone at the bottom of the foot, around the bottom of the foot, and then the outer side of the foot is surrounded by the ankle and bypasses the back of the calf. At this time, the height of the measuring tape should have a height of half of the calf.

During production, the measuring size is suitable for the sub-wood heating and softening, placed under the scaphoid bone, vertically through the bottom of the foot, from the outside of the foot to the inside of the foot, and avoiding the pressure to the inner part of the foot, continue to wrap up To the back of the calf and apply a horizontal pull, vertically to the side of the tibia, the ankle is fixed at an angle of eighty-five degrees. If it is beyond the sacral part of the sacral part, and the sputum is pressed to the inner scorpion, the sapwood is trimmed or turned up. The case is worn without pain or discomfort. The prototype can be completed.

The position of the adhesive strip is mainly placed on the lower side of the first metatarsal bone. 2. The upper part of the tibia. 3. The side of the tibia. 4. The upper and lower sides of the tibia.

The new type of equipment is not only tailor-made for the stroke type of the stroke case, but also integrally formed and not easily damaged. If there is a modification, the edge of the heat gun can be used to modify the edge, or the hot water is softened and reshaped. After wearing the case, the walking speed and distance are better than the front-mounted ankle straps that have been worn before.
