Definitions

  • the invention relates to a support according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • This type of support is primarily used to stabilize injured parts of the body or to protect healthy parts of the body.
  • the task is therefore to provide a support system that can be used as widely as possible.
  • the rail and at least part of the fastening means are preferably made from a one-piece plastic part. Such a construction is technically simple and stable.
  • the support is preferably made thicker than the fastening means, so that the fastening means are more flexible than the support.
  • the fastening means have two upper and two lower arms.
  • the upper arms are attached to the upper end and the lower arms to the lower end of the rail. Between the above Ren and lower arms is a distance which is suitable to accommodate a joint.
  • the support is particularly suitable as a knee,
  • Fig. 1 a knee brace from behind
  • Fig. 2 the brace of Fig. 1 from the front
  • Fig. 3 the brace of Fig. 1 in the open
  • FIG. 4 shows an ankle support from behind
  • FIG. 5 shows the support from FIG. 4 from the front
  • FIG. 6 shows a pelvic support from behind
  • FIG. 7 shows the support from FIG. 6 from the front
  • FIG. 8 shows a back support from the rear
  • FIG. 9 the support from FIG. 8 from the front
  • FIG. 10 a support for the disabled from the rear.
  • FIGS. 1-3 A first embodiment of the invention in the form of a knee brace is shown in FIGS. 1-3. It has a splint 1, which is placed on the leg from behind and runs over the back of the knee.
  • Two upper fastening arms 2a, 2b extend from the upper end region of the rail 1 around the thigh and are connected to one another at the front via a Velcro fastener 4.
  • Two lower fastening arms 3a, 3b extend from the lower end region of the rail 1 around the lower leg and are also connected to one another at the front via a Velcro fastener 4. Between the upper and lower fasteners a distance 5 is provided in which the knee comes to rest.
  • the rail 1 can be rigid or flexible, depending on whether the knee may be moved or not. In the latter case, the distance 5 prevents a force bridge between the fastening arms, so that the movement of the knee is not disturbed.
  • the rail is designed to be resilient, so that the knee joint can be bent against the force of the rail. It acts as a shock absorber and for transmitting forces to the leg muscles, e.g. for skiers.
  • the rail 1 and the fastening arms 2, 3 preferably consist of a one-piece plastic body. 3, this body is thicker in the region of the rail 1 than in the region of the fastening arms 2, 3, so that the latter are soft and conformable.
  • the inside of the plastic body is provided with a fabric covering and / or upholstery.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show an embodiment variant of the invention in the form of an ankle support.
  • a rail 1 is provided which runs over the calf and the heel to under the foot.
  • Upper fastening arms 2a, 2b encompass the lower leg and are connected at the front via a Velcro fastener 4.
  • Lower fastening arms 3a, 3b encompass the foot and are also connected to one another in the instep area by means of a Velcro fastener 4.
  • a distance 5 between the upper and lower fastening arms allows the upper and lower arms to be operated separately from one another and leaves the ankle a certain freedom of movement if a flexible rail 1 is used.
  • the splint 1 is preferably stiff and torsion-free and can, for example, stabilize an injured ankle.
  • a pelvic support which e.g. can be used to stabilize a pelvic fracture.
  • the rail 1 extends over the buttocks.
  • Two fastening arms 6a, 6b encompass the lumbar region of the patient and are connected at the front via a Velcro fastener 4.
  • 8 and 9 is a back and neck support.
  • the splint 1 runs along the spine and supports it in the neck and back area down to the tailbone.
  • the fastening arms 6a, 6b here form a gilet which is closed at the front by means of a Velcro fastener 4.
  • the neck area can also be fixed with additional fastening arms 7a, 7b.
  • FIG. 10 finally shows a support for stabilizing the entire lower body. It essentially corresponds to a combination of two of the knee supports shown above and a pelvic support, the rails la, lb of the knee supports continuing into the buttocks area and being connected there to the rail 1c of the pelvic support.
  • This support is e.g. suitable for patients with spina bifida.
  • the present invention is suitable for supports on all extremities, the back and the neck and allows the joints and spine to be supported and stabilized. In the event of broken bones, it can replace the conventional plaster cast if the splint is chosen to be stiff. It is light, easy to assemble and remove and comfortable to carry.
  • the knee is suitable for supporting the knee, which is particularly stressed by athletes.
  • Modern training techniques make it possible to multiply the muscles, especially in the legs, which in turn leads to great stress. against the joints and ligaments. This leads to accidents and especially knee injuries.
  • With the present invention it is possible to relieve the joints efficiently.
  • the knee can be protected against torsion with a knee brace with an elastic splint, so that ligament tears are avoided in the event of a fall. Back injuries can also be prevented.
  • the invention can also be used for the disabled, e.g. in children suffering from spina bifida. Thanks to the use of plastic materials, the supports are light and their mobility and size can be adapted to the weight and age of the patient.
  • the support according to the invention has a single rail or rail arrangement which is placed against the body from behind, i.e. on the back, the buttocks, the back of the legs, etc.
  • the rail is held by fastening means, which in the present versions are designed as fastening arms.
  • the fastening means are preferably molded from the same plastic piece as the rail, which simplifies production and increases stability.
  • the support is light thanks to the use of plastic and its design makes it easy to assemble.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de maintien qui comprend une attelle (1) qui repose sur la partie arrière du corps. Lorsque ce dispositif se présente sous la forme d'une genouillère, il comporte deux bras de fixation supérieurs (2a, 2b) et deux bras de fixation inférieurs (3a, 3b) qui sont assemblés par paires respectives, à l'avant, au moyen d'une fermeture à boucles et à crochets. Ces bras de fixation et l'attelle sont formés d'une seule pièce en matière plastique qui s'épaissit dans la zone formant l'attelle, tandis que les bras de fixation restent flexibles. Ce dispositif de maintien est léger, facile à manipuler et il se prête à des utilisations multiples. Il peut, en particulier, être utilisé dans la zone de la nuque, dans la zone du dos, dans la zone du bassin, dans la zone du genou et dans la zone de la cheville.
