The invention relates to a shoulder joint abduction fixation orthotic device. The shoulder joint abduction fixation orthotic device comprises a forearm support frame, a C-shaped upper arm bracket, an armpit support frame, a line-shaped armpit movable shaft and an adjustable support. The forearm support frame, the C-shaped upper arm bracket and the armpit support frame are integrally formed and used for supporting the forearm, the upper arm and the armpit on one side respectively, the line-shaped armpit movable shaft is arranged between the C-shaped upper arm bracket and the armpit support frame, and the adjustable support with one end connected with the C-shaped upper arm bracket and the other end connected with the armpit support frame is used for adjusting the shoulder joint abduction angle. The shoulder joint abduction fixation orthotic device can effectively overcome the defects of an existing orthotic device and ensure the postoperative effect of shoulder periarticular operations.

A wrap for a post-catheterization patient (or the like) may include an apparatus that covers the patient's torso for warmth and comfort, while generally immobilizing the patient's legs and lower body in a supine position with their legs slightly separated and immobilized laterally to discourage bending of the legs and/or rotation of the patient. The device may allow for relatively unrestricted movement of a patient's shoulders, head, and arms, thus providing a feel of mobility and permitting the patient (e.g., a toddler) to interact with their surroundings. Moreover, when a patient is secured in the wrap, treatment areas such as the groin (e.g., for catheter placement) and lower extremities may be exposed for examination and treatment by a caregiver.

An orthopedic device is arranged for scapulothoracic stabilization, inclusive of features for biomechanical stabilization of the shoulder, scapula and spine, treated alone or in combination with assembly features for supporting an arm or shoulder. The orthopedic device may be arranged in a garment or shoulder harness such that either may include first and second strap systems for extending over first and second shoulders of a user, respectively, and each of the first and second strap systems forms a “Figure 9” shape about the respective shoulder, with a strap section arranged to extend toward a waist stabilizer that may form part of the orthopedic device.

A safe mobility transport harness allows for safely restraining persons and for safely restraining the person's arms and legs to prevent a person from escape or being combative by using his or her elbows, arms or legs to suddenly run or unexpected elbow or kick another person, and yet, when in need to transport, the restraints may be safely and easily adjusted to allow for authorized, safe and limited movement and walking of the restrained person.

Disclosed herein are prosthesis simulator devices comprising a first restraint configured to restrain one or more fingers of a wearer of the simulator, a second restraint configured to restrain a thumb of the wearer, and a plurality of artificial digits configured to move in a manner to simulate one or more prosthetic fingers and a prosthetic thumb of a prosthesis. The first restraint can be attached to a roof plate connected to a base plate and defining a dorsal side of the prosthesis simulator. The second restraint can be attached to a holster connected to the base plate on a palmar side of the prosthesis simulator. Also disclosed herein are methods of using the same.

A portable arm support can be secured to an arm of a patient, for instance during a medical procedure (e.g., filtration of blood of the patient). The arm support can inhibit movement of the arm of the patient in one or more degrees of freedom (e.g., elevation, abduction, adduction, flexion, or the like). In some examples, the arm support includes a cuff and abase. In another example, the arm support includes an elongated member. In yet another example, the arm support includes a constricting band. The arm support can help maintain blood flow in the arm of the patient, and can help protect a catheter inserted into the arm of the patient (or protect other medical equipment proximate to the patient).

A shoulder brace for patients who have lost mass in their upper torso due to a shoulder injury. The shoulder brace provides a plurality of pockets selectively placed so that when the shoulder brace is wrapped about the patient's shoulder, padding placed within the plurality of pockets mimics the look of upper body mass lost due to atrophy.

The present application is directed to methods and devices for reducing shoulder impingement for a person in a lying position. The device may comprise a generally tubular cuff having an inner radius defining an open passage through the cuff and extending from a proximal end to a distal end, an outer radius defining a sidewall thickness between the inner radius and the outer radius, and a length from the proximal end to the distal end. The outer diameter may be selected to provide a sidewall thickness that restricts movement of the arm such that shoulder flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, lateral rotation, and medial rotation are each limited.

A method includes providing a strap having a length enabled to encircle one side of a user's hand and tricep area when the user's elbow is bent at 90°, and creating a loop with the strap. The loop closing with a buckle, and positioning the inside of one end of the loop around a ventral or dorsal portion of a user's hand or fingers. A step is provided for positioning the inside flat surface of a second end of the loop around at an area at a back side of the user's upper arm, above the elbow, with the elbow bent at approximately 90 degrees. The strap is then tightened to achieve an effective stretch as determined by the user and the stretch may be held for a determined amount of time thereby increasing strength and flexibility and lessen pain in the user's hand, wrist and forearm.

A rescue device comprising a closed loop element made of a flexible material and first and second slidable elements mounted to the closed loop element so as to be slidable therealong while frictionally engaging the closed loop element. The first and second slidable elements each pinch the closed loop element against itself to define a pair of opposed end loop portions and an intermediate loop portion extending therebetween, the intermediate loop portion extending between the first and second slidable elements and each of the end loop portions extending from a respective one of the first and second slidable elements opposed to the intermediate loop portion.
