Abstract

A new device for elbow extension, developed as a dynamic orthosis and also as a static splint for a C5 tetraplegic arm, is presented. A patient with tetraplegia, probably related to infection of the central and peripheral nervous system, had a paralysed right triceps muscle, with a very strong corresponding biceps. Extension by force of a posterior stretched rubber ring made the arm useful, while the possibility to lock the elbow hinges of the orthosis at any desired angle enabled static splinting of the elbow to increase the range of motion.

摘要

介绍了一种用于肘部伸展的新装置，它既可以作为动态矫形器，也可以作为C5四肢瘫患者手臂的静态夹板。一名四肢瘫患者，可能与中枢和周围神经系统感染有关，其右肱三头肌瘫痪，而相应的肱二头肌非常强壮。通过后拉伸橡胶环的力量进行伸展使手臂变得有用，同时能够将矫形器的肘部铰链锁定在任何所需角度，从而实现肘部的静态夹板固定以增加活动范围。
