Compression stockings for hemiplegic patients

The present invention relates to compression stockings, and more particularly, to a compression stockings for hemiplegic patients to effectively correct and treat acute unilateral limb problems that may occur in hemiplegic patients.

It is the norm that the human brain usually has different functions for each part. For this reason, when a specific region of the brain is damaged by stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, or the like, unilateral paralysis may occur.

Hemiplegia (hemiplegia) refers to a condition in which movement disorders occur in the upper and lower extremities or the face of one side (one side). Patients with unilateral paralysis mainly suffer from acute unilateral limb problems (arm-legs) that can be caused by motor-sensory dysfunction of the opposite arm-bridge of the brain, which is mostly damaged by brain damage (stroke, brain trauma, congenital encephalopathy, etc.) Unilateral paralysis and edema, vein thrombosis, and non-responsiveness to unilateral sensation).

It is known that it is very important for quick and effective recovery of paralysis to quickly move the hemiplegic limb that cannot move in unilateral paralysis caused by various brain injuries.

Because hemiplegic limbs are unable to move on their own, they are susceptible to secondary injuries, which can cause skin damage or pressure ulcers due to repeated physical irritation or gravity on the limbs.

In particular, the lower extremity region is known to produce vein thrombosis, which is known to slow down the flow of veins and to easily accumulate, so compression is necessary to prevent this.
