ORTHOSIS FOR FIXING A SHOULDER JOINT

摘要

An orthosis having a strap arrangement which is designed to engage on an arm section at the elbow or adjacent to the elbow of the arm extending from the first shoulder joint, which is to be immobilized, in order to fix the elbow frontally on the body of the patient. The strap arrangement has a first strap section which is provided for at least partially looping around the arm section. The strap arrangement has a second strap section which is provided for at least partially looping around the arm section, and is incorporated into the strap arrangement such that, in the fitted state of the orthosis, the second strap section exerts on the arm section a second force which has at least a second component running parallel to the sagittal plane of the patient and horizontally.

1. An orthosis for immobilizing a first one of the shoulder joints of a patient,
having a strap arrangement which is designed to engage on an arm section at the elbow or adjacent to the elbow of the arm extending from the first shoulder joint in order to fix the elbow frontally on the body of the patient, wherein the strap arrangement has a first strap section which is provided for at least partially looping around the arm section, wherein the first strap section is incorporated into the strap arrangement such that, in the fitted state of the orthosis, the first strap section exerts on the arm section a first force which has at least a first component running parallel to the frontal plane of the patient and horizontally, wherein the first component points from the arm section toward the body, such that the first force has an adductive effect on the arm, wherein the strap arrangement has a second strap section which is provided for at least partially looping around the arm section, and wherein the second strap section is incorporated into the strap arrangement such that, in the fitted state of the orthosis, the second strap section exerts on the arm section a second force which has at least a second component running parallel to the sagittal plane of the patient and horizontally.
