DEVICE FOR USERS HAVING AFTER-TROUBLES RESULTING FROM DAMAGE TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND/OR A LOCOMOTOR APPARATUS OF THE BODY

摘要

The proposed device is comprised of individual modules (A, B, C, D) adapted for being used independently. A first module (A) appears as a recliner (1) comprising two flexible spatially curved bands (2) having their first ends (3) interconnected and their second ends (5) secured on the respective band (2) to form two straps to be arranged on the patient's shoulders. A second module (B) is in fact a correcting corset (6) adapted for correcting the spine without applying a vertical load thereon, A third module (C) appearing as a means (16) for correcting the hip and shin comprises two flexible bandages (17, 18) for being fixed over and under the knee joint, respectively. A fourth module (D) is essentially a means (21) for correcting the ankle joint and toes and has a first flexible belt (22) and a second belt (22) adapted for being arranged on the ankle and foot, respectively, as well as a toe-plantar element (26). The device may have a fifth module (E) appearing as a means (34) for correcting an upper extremity, having two spatially curved flexible bands (36) adapted to be fixed over and under the elbow joint, respectively, and a flexible carpal element (38) adapted for being secured on the palm and for abducting the thumb. Each of the modules (A, B, C, D) is an independent device. An exterior surface of each module (A, B, C, D) (is made from a napped material adapted for use in the Velcro-type fastener. There are correcting-rotating elements (33) adapted for interconnecting the respective modules (B, C, D and E, A) with a possibility of their disconnection using connecting means (41) which have an engaging surface adapted for establishing a connection of the Velcro-type fastener at any place on the exterior surfaces of each of the modules (A, B, C, D) depending on the pathology the patient is suffering from.
