Abstract
The present invention relates to a shoulder brace, which comprises an orthosis body 10 mounted on a waist and a shoulder of a patient, and one side attached to the orthosis body 10 via a first attachment and detachment member 23, An arm support 20 for holding the arm by being attached to the orthosis body 10 via a second attachment and detachment member 24 after the arm of the patient is wrapped around the arm support 20 and the other side of the arm support 20, And an auxiliary rod (30) for pulling the arm support (20) to wrap the arm.
The present invention has the advantage of improving the stability of the shoulder and arm after shoulder surgery, simplifying the configuration as much as possible, and facilitating quick recovery.
Description
The present invention relates to a shoulder orthosis, and more particularly, to a shoulder orthosis used for therapeutic purposes to a patient after shoulder surgery.
The shoulder orthosis is to stabilize the surgical site by supporting the arm in front of the shoulder joint after surgery due to damage such as shoulder fracture. Shoulder orthosis is one of the most important treatments to prevent recurrence after surgery.
In general, a shoulder brace is configured to place the sore arm on the shoulder side of the surgical site in the armrest and secure the sore arm using a shoulder strap and a separate waistband.
Korean Patent No. 10-0883324 (entitled Shoulder Joint Orthopedic Orthopedics, Announcement 2009.02.11) is a prior art related to shoulder orthosis.
However, the conventional shoulder aids are complicated in structure, heavy in weight, and complicated to wear, so that it is difficult for the elderly to wear alone.
In addition, since the armrest is structured to sandwich the arm, it is impossible to move the elbow. When the armrest is lifted when the armrest is lifted, it is accompanied by lifting the shoulder, There is a problem.
In addition, since the structure is difficult to detach once it is worn once without external help, there is a problem that the living environment and the rest state of the patient are not considered.
The object of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the stability of the shoulder and arm by giving movement to the elbows within a range where the shoulder surgery site is not burdened, and to simplify the configuration as much as possible, To provide a shoulder brace that is configured to be able to be manipulated.
According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, the present invention provides an orthodontic appliance comprising an orthosis body mounted on a waist and a shoulder of a patient, and one side attached to the orthosis body via a first attachment / The arm support member is attached to the orthosis body via the second attachment / detachment member by wrapping the arm of the patient, and the other side of the arm support unit is pulled in a one-touch manner so that the arm support member supports the arm And an auxiliary rod for wrapping.
The orthosis body may include a waistband secured to the waist of a patient in the form of a belt and having a relatively large area of the central body at the center and a shoulder strap connected to the waistband and hung on the shoulder in a sling manner and provided with a shoulder cushion have.
The main body is attached to the orthosis body in a state where the arm is wrapped around the arm, and the main body is attached to the arm And a fixed rib that fixes the wrapped state.
The auxiliary rods may be formed as long rods and may be adjustable in length.
And a stationary foam mounted between the orthosis body and the arm support to prevent movement of the arm.
The fixed foam may have a shape in which the upper surface and the lower surface are wide and flat, and the side surface is provided with a concave attachment portion corresponding to the waist line of the patient and a linear support portion to which the arm support is attached and supported.
When the fixed support is turned upside down, the rectilinear support can be positioned at two positions of the shoulder joint of the patient at 45 degrees and 65 degrees.
The fixed foam may be made of synthetic resin.
The present invention has a simple structure in which the body of the orthosis is attached to the waist and the shoulder of the patient and is in close contact with each other, so that it is easy to wear and easy to ventilate.
In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the arm support is fastened with the one-touch principle to fasten the arm so that it can be removed easily without lifting the arm, easy to lower the arm, So that it is possible to prevent the formation of the joint of the arm.
In addition, the present invention can minimize the rotation of the trunk and prevent the recovery of the shoulder operation site during the wearing and re-wearing of the shoulder support since the arm support can be pulled in one-touch manner by using the auxiliary rod to wrap the arm around the arm There is an effect that the problem of re-damage can be prevented.
In addition, the present invention also provides a method for preventing the re-rupture after shoulder surgery and allowing for rapid recovery, because the fixed foam is mounted by the Velcro between the orthosis body and the arm support to prevent arm movement and further improve the stability of the shoulders and arms There is a helping effect.
