PREVENTING TOOL FOR ARMPIT PRESSURE PAIN CAUSED BY ARMPIT PAD OF CRUTCH

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a preventing tool for the armpit pressure pain caused by the armpit pads of a crutch reducing the pressure pain of an armpit and the fatigue of an arm and compatible with a long-distance route by a crutch by connecting the armpit pads and an article fitted to the groin including the range of the hips, a thigh, and a leg. ;CONSTITUTION: Buckles, a skeleton 13, and a pad 12 are fitted to a SUMO wrestler's loincloth-like article. Armpit pads 1, 2 having pads 3, 4 are fitted to shoulder belts 5, 6 and a breast belt 7. Connecting materials extended downward from them and connecting materials extended upward from a horizontal belt 11 are length-adjustably connected by buckles 8, 9 for the connecting materials. The skeleton 13 and pad 12 are fitted to vertical belts 10. The armpit pads 1, 2 are warped at the front and rear so that a user can be immediately separated backward from a crutch when he pushes the crutch forward if he inadvertently tends to fall in the forward inclined attitude while descending a stairway, thus they serve as sledges. The fatigue of an arm and the pressure pain of an armpit can be dispersed.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1996,JPO
