APPARATUS FOR LEG ABDUCTION |
摘要 |
<p>An apparatus for abducting a patient's legs is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus is comprised of two cuffs connected by a telescoping rod that is adjustable and lockable. The apparatus is used by a caregiver to tend to the personal needs of a disabled patient. The apparatus is positioned between the patient's legs, and the telescoping rod is locked thereby providing a fixed amount of abduction.. In an alternative embodiment, a fixed length, preferably disposable support arms is used in conjunction with the cuffs for providing a low cost solution for leg abduction. Preferably, an articulating joint allows the upper cuff to adjust to a patient's body type improving comfort. Also, a flange on the base cuff improves stability of the apparatus allowing for hands-free operation.</p> |
