- the tightening band 112 moves upward by the rotary bolt 114 of the size adjusting means 110 as described above, the tightening band tightens the second knuckle 720 of the user's thumb, such that the assistance device is fixed and not separated from the thumb even through the user freely moves the hand or the fingers.
- the second support plate 200 supports the upper portion of the first knuckle 710 of the thumb
- the third support plate 300 supports the upper portion of the third knuckle 730 of the thumb
- the tightening band 112 of the size adjusting means 110 supports the lower portion of the second knuckle 720 of the thumb in the opposite direction of the first knuckle 710 and the third knuckle 730 of the thumb. Therefore, the hyper-extensibility of the joints and the muscle of the thumb are prevented by three point pressure principle in which pressure is applied to two points and another pressure is applied to another point in the opposite direction.
- the second support plate 200 of the thumb assistance device prevents hyper-extensibility, that is, the first joint 740 between the first knuckle 720 and the second knuckle 720 of the thumb, from bending over the maximum extension angle of 0°
- the third support plate 300 prevents hyper-extensibility, that is, the second joint 750 between the second knuckle 720 and the third knuckle 730 of the thumb, from extending over the maximum extension angle of 10°.
- the second support plate 200 is prevented from bending such that the angle ⁇ l of the second support plate 200 that bends upward does not exceed 0° in which the second support plate 200 is parallel with the first support plate 100, by the force applied from the first anti-bending protrusions 500, which protrude upward at predetermined distances from the second support plate 200, to the first support plate 100.
- the first anti-bending protrusions 500 protruding from the upper portion of the second support plate 200 are in close contact with each other by the force applied upward from the second support plate 200 to the first support plate 100, such that the second support plate 200 is prevented from bending to 0° in which it is parallel with the first support plate 100.
- the first knuckle 710 and the second knuckle 720 of the thumb are prevented from bending over the maximum extension angle of 0° and the hyper-extensibility of the first joint 740 of the thumb is prevented.
- the second anti-bending protrusions protruding at predetermined distances from the upper portion of the third support plate 300 prevents the third support plate 300 from bending less than the angle ⁇ 2 of 10° from the first support plate 100, by the same configuration and operation as the first anti-bending protrusions 500, such that the second knuckle 720 and the third knuckle 730 of the thumb are prevented from bending over the maximum extension angle of 10°. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent hyper-extensibility of the second joint 750 of the thumb due to hyper-extensibility of the second knuckle 720 of the thumb.
- the force applied to the upper portion i.e. the fingernail of the first knuckle 710 of the thumb supported by the second support plate 200 of the assistance device prevents pain due to a force concentrated on a specific portion of the fingernail while the front end of the second support plate 200 closely contacts to an end of the fingernail, because, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 10, the finger support plate 400, of which the fixing protrusions 420 at the center portion of the semicircular member 410 are fitted in the fixing holes 210 at the center portion of the second support plate 200, is in close contact with the entire surface of the fingernail.
- the bending portion 310 is provided at the rear end of the third support plate 300, it is possible to prevent pain or damage to the skin caused by the edge of the third support plate 300 that is in close contact with the wrist while pressing.
- the assistance device is fixed by attaching an end of the fixing band 330 passing through the band hook 320 protruding from the upper center portion of the third support plate 300 to the other end using the Velcro 331 provided on both ends of the fixing band 330, in which the end extends across the back of the hand and the other end extends across the palm, such that the third support plate 300 of the assistance device is in c lose contact with the upper portion of the third knuckle 730 of the thumb without a gap. Therefore, a stable position is maintained even though the user moves the hand, and it is possible to prevent the hyper- abduction of the third knuckle 730 of the thumb, over the maximum abduction angle of 90°.
- the thumb assistance device of the invention it is possible to give a massage or perform acupressure over a long period of time without causing pain by preventing the hyper-extensibility and the hyper-abduction of the thumb while protecting the joints and preventing the relaxation and damage to the muscle.
- the thumb assistance device of the invention it is possible to cut the cutting portion 220 formed at the front end of the second support plate 200 with a cutting tool 800, such as scissors, to fit the length of the second support plate 200 to the length of the user' s thumb of fingernail, when the length of thumb or the fingernail is smaller than that of the second support plate 200 as shown in FIG. 13.
- a cutting tool 800 such as scissors
- the Velcro 331 provided at both ends of the fixing band 330 of the third support plate 300 are not limited to the Velcro 331 and may be achieved using various types that can detachably fix both ends of the fixing band.
