Description

Passive human joint stability protection system
Technical Field
The invention relates to a passive human joint stability protection system, belongs to the field of safety protection, and particularly belongs to a joint stabilizer.
Background
Various kinds of medical fixators used in surgical orthopedics are used to stabilize damaged joints of a human body to assist patient recovery, and such kind of joint fixators are generally practiced in medicine and are used in such a way to stabilize joint positions at the knee, ankle, elbow, wrist, etc. of a human being; the principle of the joint fixer is that the basic function of the joint is still maintained when the joint walks by relieving the tension generated when the joint moves, and the secondary injury possibly caused to the joint when the joint walks is reduced by stabilizing the joint at a specific position; with the evolution of joint fixators, more refined functionality has been introduced in medicine, especially for ligament protection at specific joints, which are typically Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) and Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) are ligament sites where the human body is more vulnerable to injury; anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), and Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL); these ligaments are very vulnerable to injury during excessive knee tightening, particularly under high intensity exercises; the Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) is also one of the ligaments that easily create tension during exercise; the joint anchors currently used to protect these ligaments are of very different kinds, according to technology, function and effect.
Some joint anchors are directed to providing a motorized wrap to provide support at the joint. Such products typically employ relatively heavy mechanized materials and are therefore often bulky in appearance and aesthetically undesirable. And when the patient uses, the heavy mechanical material also can cause the wearer to feel more uncomfortable when in use. At the other extreme, there are also garments that employ different techniques in different garment styles near the knee to provide compressive protection to the ligaments at the knee. However, some garments often provide insufficient pressure, or provide insufficient pressure, and may not be as uncomfortable to wear as conventional mechanized devices, but are not used in the correct position, resulting in poor results. In summary, the present joint stabilizer cannot achieve both protection effect and comfort.
For example: an energy storage type knee joint protector disclosed in Chinese patent/utility model (application number: 202022907938.5) has the following specification: an energy storage type knee joint protector is portable, wearable and low in cost, can directly and effectively provide knee joint assistance in the wearing and using process of a user, and can effectively protect the knee joint when the user falls down on a kneeling place. An energy storage type knee joint protector, which is characterized in that: the knee joint comprises a knee joint body for fixing the front of the knee joint, a hinge connected with the upper edge of the knee joint body, an upper support arm connected with a hollow structure of the hinge, a leg strap connected with the upper end of the upper support arm, an energy storage spring connected with the top of an inner cavity of the upper support arm, a stay wire with the upper end connected with the lower end of the energy storage spring, a lower support arm connected with the lower end of the stay wire, a pulley connected with the lower end of the upper support arm, a lower support arm connected with the lower edge of the knee joint body, and an ankle strap connected with the lower end of the lower support arm; the above patent can be used to demonstrate the drawbacks of the prior art.
We have therefore made improvements to this and have proposed passive human joint stability protection systems.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problems to be solved by the invention are as follows: the traditional joint stabilizer has the characteristics of quite heaviness and uncomfortableness, breaks through the defects of the traditional joint stabilizer and realizes the combination of protection effect and comfort. Meanwhile, compared with the traditional joint stabilizer, the invention has breakthrough in the working principle, and the traditional rigid joint stabilizer works through a rigid structure for providing pressure for the joint for a long time. When the joint moves and leaves the natural position, the support site at the joint pushes the joint back to the original position. Conventional joint stabilizers are unnatural to the human body and can cause the support position at the joint to move and cause discomfort.
The working principle of the muscles and bones of the human body is based on pushing and pulling; bones play a very important role in the human body, and the bones can generate mutual thrust in the walking process of the human body and provide basic skeleton support for the human body; during movement of the body, the joints are connected to the ligaments and function to assist the bones in moving relative to each other; the ligaments create tension while drawing the bones together and separating in the range of motion of the joint; the main function of the support at the knee pad is to stabilize the joint by applying pressure to return the knee to the correct position; the invention is different from the traditional joint stabilizer in that the invention comprises a tensile force to achieve the effect of protecting the joint; the joints are lifted to natural positions by adopting the modes of stranded wires or materials with different elasticity and the like; when the joint moves to a position away from the natural position, the invention can stabilize and provide support by expanding tension and the like; similar to ligaments, the strands/special materials etc. mentioned in this invention can connect smoothly throughout the course of the athletic behaviour and provide tension when the joint deviates from the natural position; for the example of a knee joint, when the knee is moved to the everted/varus position, the pressure on the medial and lateral collateral ligaments increases, which pulls the knee back to its original position, but when the strength of the tissue is exceeded, injury may result; the invention can provide stability in eversion/varus, when a user wears the invention, if the knee moves to the eversion/varus position, tension of strands or special materials and the like on the inner side of the knee can be increased, the strands pull fixed points of buttocks and lower legs to generate abduction force or adduction force of the knee, thereby providing support for collateral ligaments; this principle can be seen with reference to fig. 17 and 18; figure 19 illustrates how the anterior force is generated on the calf by the strands around the posterior tibia; in addition, the strands or special materials fixed at the buttocks and the lower legs, etc. can generate compressive force; an injured posterior cruciate ligament or injured meniscus can be treated by providing posterior tibial stabilization; combining stabilization of the anterior and posterior tibia with targeted compressive forces can alleviate knee joint injury and also greatly help to relieve pain.

(III) beneficial effects
The passive human joint stability protection system provided by the invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. By providing a first solution, the tension means cross each other in two positions above and below the knee, in some more basic garment examples only one crossing point is needed, either above or below the knee, with the advantage that the upward and downward part paths of the tension means approach each other on opposite sides of the knee position. Gradually get close to each other and they cross at a certain point, realizing that by virtue of the design of encircling the legs, not only stable pressure is generated or exerted on the knee area, but also pressure is generated or exerted on the thigh and the calf, solving the problem that the joint stabilizer in the prior art can not achieve both protection effect and comfort;
2. by providing a second solution, in which the tension means have an intersection point both above and below the knee, in the basic garment example, it is only necessary to have an intersection point above or below the knee, however, the advantage here is that the paths of the upward and downward parts of the tension means approach each other on opposite sides of the knee position, gradually approach each other and they intersect at a certain point, achieving that by virtue of the design of the encircling leg, not only a stabilizing pressure is generated or applied on the knee region, but at the same time a force pressure is generated or applied at the location where the tension means grip the calf region c1-d1-e1, solving the problem in the prior art that the joint stabilizer is not capable of achieving both protection and comfort;
3. By a third solution, the tension device is arranged to cross each other in two positions above and below the knee. In some basic garment examples, only one intersection is required, either above or below the knee. The advantage here is that the paths of the upward and downward parts of the tension means approach each other on the opposite side of the knee, gradually converging towards each other and intersecting at a certain point, it being achieved that, as a result of encircling the leg, not only a stable compressive force is generated or applied on the knee area a, but also a compressive force is generated or applied on the position where the tension means grips the calf area c2-d2-e2, so that the tension means at the same time also acts as a distal fixation means for the leg itself. The mode of surrounding the legs also plays a role in fixing the garment to the thighs, and solves the problem that the joint stabilizer in the prior art cannot achieve both protection effect and comfort;
4. by a fourth aspect of the arrangement, the outer and inner portions of the tunnel tube path may be brought into proximity with each other at a first point below the knee of the wearer (x-point) and at a second point above the knee of the wearer (y-point). It should be noted that while the actual tunnel tube portions may overlap at points x and y, the outside and inside portions of the tension ring within the tunnel tube may not be joined together at points y or x, the tunnel tube may be routed in the distal region around the triceps around the calf, which serves the function of securing the garment to the triceps around the calf, the tension ring may include a tension device along the tunnel tube, and the tensioner may be routed at the thigh of the wearer. The tension device can be made of a longitudinally inextensible material, and meanwhile, the material can keep flexibility, so that the problem that the joint stabilizer in the prior art cannot achieve both protection effect and comfort is solved;
5. According to the fifth scheme, the tension device is connected to the stable connector of the waistband, so that when tension in the tension device is adjusted, the garment is prevented from being pulled down, the stable part can prevent the garment from being excessively deformed or wrinkled when the tension of the tension device is adjusted, and the problem that the joint stabilizer in the prior art cannot achieve both protection effect and comfort is solved;
6. according to the sixth scheme, in order to stabilize the knee, the tension bars are provided with crossed areas above and below the knee, namely, crossed areas above and below the knee cover are respectively provided with crossed areas, so that the effect of fixing and supporting at the integral fitting position is realized, the process is beneficial to production, a certain protection effect can be achieved on the knee, and the problem that the joint stabilizer in the prior art cannot achieve both protection effect and comfort is solved;
7. through the first tension device, the garment uses the seam allowance manufactured by the seam to bear the tunnel pipe in a sewing way, so that more comfortable wearing experience is realized, and the problem that the joint stabilizer in the prior art cannot achieve both protection effect and comfort is solved;
8. the tension device is integrated into the basic material of the garment through the second tension device, so that the effect of the tension device on the use feeling of a user is reduced while the knee is protected, and the problem that the joint stabilizer in the prior art cannot achieve both protection effect and comfort is solved;
By providing a third tensioning device, wherein the tensioning device passes through the tunnel tube and the tunnel tube is attached to the surface of the garment in the form of aligned semi-cylindrical tubes. In some garment examples, the bottom of the tunnel tube may be closed or may be lined with a low friction material, enabling the tension device to be combined with the garment in a simpler manner, solving the problem in the prior art that the joint stabilizer cannot achieve both protection and comfort.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the invention is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Example 1:
the following description of the presentation of the garment is not intended to be exhaustive of each and every detail of the design or to limit the invention in the form detailed below, but rather the specific presentation is selected to be set forth as being representative of the technical process.
The support device comprises tension devices, and each tension device is embedded on the surface of the garment or is integrated into the material of the garment along a preset corresponding arc-shaped 3D space system route; connecting at least one or more tension devices with at least one joint ligament corresponding to a preset path; to illustrate the present garment and support device, we first consider the knee of the human body shown in figure 1.
In the following description, the presentation of the design is based on the extension of the middle part of the body to the leg position of the body, including the whole lower limb part of the body; while in actual designs not every design garment must cover or exceed the waist, or cover the entire foot, in order to avoid ambiguity, the coverage of the entire foot as a garment is also covered; the structural changes of the clothing according to the invention can be embodied in the style, the manufacturing method and the special structure of the specific situation; in other words, the specific examples used below to illustrate the invention are merely representative of a portion, and not all, of the garments of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 11 and 13, the present embodiment proposes a passive human joint stabilization protection system, including a garment 1 or other garment accessories, wherein at least one tension device 4 is provided inside the garment 1 or other garment accessories, and at least one tensioner is provided on the garment 1 or other garment accessories. The principle is to stabilize the joint by applying pressure to restore the joint to the correct position. Under the principle of the invention, the operation can be performed without threading, and threading is only one of the modes of the invention. The realization mode can be to utilize the elasticity of different fabrics and modern production technology, and the protection and the support of the joints of the human body are realized under the principle of the invention, such as: in the garment 1 or other garment accessories, elastic fabric or the like is attached to the joint portion.
Tensioner 3 may be employed in different garment 1 instances, including unlimited gear sequencing and long screw sequencing; any solution that can establish longitudinal tension in the tension device 4 and that is suitable for human operation should be considered feasible.
Example 2:
the scheme of example 1 is further described in conjunction with the specific operation described below:
As shown in fig. 2, further, the fixing device 10 is looped around the thigh, the fixing device 10 is ring-shaped, the tensioner 3 located at the outer side of the thigh is fixed at the side of the fixing device 10, one end of the tension device 4 is connected to the front end of the fixing device 10, the other end of the tension device 4 extends to the inner side of the shank through the position of the outer side of the patella P6, the tension device is led out from the outer side of the shank around the rear of the shank and is connected with the tensioner 3 after passing through the inner side of the patella P6, the other end of the tension device 4 covers the end of the tension device 4 connected with the fixing device 10, two overlapping points are arranged between the two ends of the tension device 4, and the two overlapping points are respectively located above and below the patella P6, and it is particularly pointed out that the situation described in claim 1 is only shown as one clothing example for this invention, and does not represent all cases under this invention, the principle that the layout positions of the tensioner, the tension device, the fixing device 10 and the like may have various possibilities, and some clothing examples may contain two overlapping points or may contain one overlapping point or only below the patella P6.
As shown in fig. 2, from point a of the tensioner, the path reaches point b, where the tensioner splits its path to form a closed-ended loop; the path starts from the left lateral region, passes through the left leg patella P6 position, bends to the left medial region, reaches the deltoid distal region (human muscle group) c on the left leg lateral side, and starts from this (the position marked c in the figure) and turns around the rear of the leg again (the path marked as a broken line in the figure) to the position marked d in the left leg medial side figure; a position marked e in the figure and a position marked f in the figure, starting from point d and curving along the lateral side of the patella P6 to meet with it, the path coming immediately after the intersection point f to point b on the left lateral side and merging here; at the intersections e and f the access paths of the tensioning means 4 are independent so that they do not merge at these two points and do not affect each other as much as possible and are free to move.
The path of the securing device 10 extends around the rear thigh from the position marked g of the tensioner 3 to the position marked h inside the leg, and then terminates adjacent to the position marked i in the drawing of the tensioner 4; the path of the tension means 4 forms a sharp curve at the position marked i in the figure; the specific routing of the securing device 10 and the tensioning device 4 will be described in more detail below; the description has been sufficient to demonstrate that the paths of the fixing means 10 and the tensioning means 4 together form a closed-ended annular ring as the garment 1 for fixing the support leg; in other words, also as a reference for the following more example cases; regardless of how the fixation function is distributed between the fixation device 10 and the tension device 4, the fixation device 10 and the tension device 4 together completely encircle the thigh area; the path of the tension device 4 from point c to point d and then to point e for the calf portion is similar to the fixed support for the calf portion of garment 1.
In practice, the garment 1 will typically be accompanied by a tensioner 3 for adjusting the tensioning device 4; in some examples, the fixture 10 follows its path in the tunnel tube 42; the details are described in the following text; the fixing device 10 may be controlled and adjusted by the tensioner 3; in other examples, the fixation device 10 may comprise a longitudinally inextensible material; in this type of example, the tensioner 3 is mounted on a non-extensible material, in which case the tensioner 3 controls not only the adjustment tension device 4 but also the fixing device 10.
Example 3:
the scheme of example 1 is further described in conjunction with the specific operation described below:
as shown in fig. 3, as a preferred embodiment, further, the tensioner 3 is disposed on one side of the waistband 2, the tension device 4 is divided into two parts of an AB segment and a BC segment, wherein one end of the AB segment is connected with the tensioner 3, the other end of the AB segment extends to the outer side of the thigh far away from one side of the tensioner 3 through the rear of the hip, one end of the BC segment is fixedly connected with the end of the AB segment, the other end of the BC segment extends to the outer side of the calf through the inner side position of the patella P6 and then is led out from the inner side of the calf around the rear of the calf, further passes through the inner side of the patella P6 and then is connected with the end of the AB segment, the other end of the BC segment covers one end of the BC segment connected with the AB segment, two overlapping points are disposed between the two ends of the BC segment, and the two overlapping points are located above and below the patella P6 respectively.
As shown in fig. 3, the illustrative path of the tensioning device 4 begins at a position a1 of the right hip tensioner 3 positioned on the waistband 2; it then passes from position a1 around the rear of the wearer's buttocks (shown in phantom) to position b1, which is outboard of the left leg, where the tension device splits in its path to form a single closed loop; the cycle starts from the left side, passes through the patella P6 of the left leg on the medial side, then bends again, to a position c1 distal to the triceps on the lateral side of the left leg, from where it begins again around the posterior portion of the leg (shown in phantom) to the medial side of the left leg at a position d 1; it then starts at point d1, passes through its own path, along a curved path around the outside of the patella P6, at point e1, and then passes through its own path again at point f 1; the path curve then reaches the point b1 to the sharp left where it returns to its own path; at the crossing points e1 and f1, the output and input portions of the tensioning device 4 are independent, they are not connected to each other and are arranged freely movable with respect to each other as far as possible.
In this layout of the tension device 4, by virtue of the design around the leg, not only a stabilizing pressure is generated or applied on the knee region P, but at the same time a pressure is generated or applied at the location where the tension device 4 grips the calf region c1-d1-e 1; the tension device 4 thus also acts as a distal fixing device 10 for the leg itself, while the other end is fixed in position on top of the waistband 2; whereby the tension means 4 forms at least one part or a major part of the area around the leg in one turn; in practice, the tension of the tensioning device 4 can be adjusted by the wearer of the garment 1 by means of the tensioner 3; in other examples of garments 1, the tensioner 3 may be arranged on the front part of the torso of a person, such that the whole tension device 4 forms a loop in the thigh, seen from above down the leg; in the description of this example of garment 1, we describe the latter case with a complete surrounding thigh, even though the actual path may have a spiral nature; the portion of the tension device 4 in fig. 3 extending from the position a1 to the position b1 may also be considered as the fixation device 10, and functions the same as the fixation device 10 in fig. 2.
Example 4:
the scheme of example 1 is further described in conjunction with the specific operation described below:
as shown in fig. 4, in the above embodiment, further, the tensioner 3 is disposed on the outer side of the thigh, one end of the tension device 4 is connected to the tensioner 3, the other end of the tensioner 3 extends to the outer side of the calf through the inner side position of the patella P6, is led out from the inner side of the calf around the rear of the calf, is connected to the tensioner 3 through the inner side position of the thigh around the rear of the thigh after passing through the outer side of the patella P6, and two overlapping points are disposed between the two ends of the tension device 4, and are located above and below the patella P6, respectively.
The illustrative path of the tensioning device 4 starts from position a2 at the tensioner 3; then from position a2 to the patella P6 passing medially through the left leg, then again bent to position c2 on the lateral side of the left leg, from where it begins around the posterior of the leg (as shown in phantom) to position d2 on the medial side of the left leg in the distal portion of the triceps calf muscle; then starting from the position d2, the original path of the user is crossed at the position e2 so as to reach the patella P6 along the curved path outside the patella P6, and then the user crosses the path again at the point f 2; it is bent around the inside of the thigh at position g2 and then around the rear of the thigh, shown in phantom, to reach the tensioner 3 at position h 2; the lead-out and lead-in portions of the tensioning device 4 at the intersection points e2 and f2 are not connected to each other, but move as freely as possible.
In this arrangement, the tension device 4, due to the encircling leg, not only generates or applies a steady compressive force on the knee region P, but also generates or applies a compressive force at the location where the tension device 4 grips the calf region c2-d2-e 2; the tensioning device 4 thus also acts as a distal fixing device 10 for the leg itself; by means of surrounding the legs, the same function is also achieved as for securing the garment 1 to the thigh; in operation, the wearer of garment 1 may adjust the amount of tension device 4 via tensioner 3.
As shown in fig. 13 and 14, in addition to the above-described embodiment, the tension adjuster 7 further includes a mounting base 71 fixedly connected to the garment 1, and a pulley 72 is rotatably provided on the mounting base 71.
The tension adjuster 7 is regarded as being laid out at the position of the point c2 on the outer side of the left leg and includes both ends of the tension device 4; in alternative garment 1 examples, the regulator may be laid out elsewhere in the tensioning device 4, for example, at a position above point f 2; in the regulator, as shown in more detail in fig. 14, the two strands N and M on the outside can be joined to form a single strand that is free to move on pulley 72; for clarity, some of the numbers used in fig. 6 have been removed in fig. 14 and only one end of the tension device 4 is shown, the other end being identical, but rotated relative to the one shown; pulley 72 is rotatable about a pulley 72 axis; the tension regulator 7 may be provided on a substantially inextensible fabric on the base with its inextensible direction parallel to the strands N, O and N of the tension device 4; when the tension device 4 comprises an odd number of strands, as shown in fig. 14, the unpaired central strand may terminate near the tension regulator 7 or within the tension regulator 7; various ways are envisaged to terminate the central strand O-line, in fig. 14 a universal terminal is shown; fig. 14 shows how the ends of the tensioning device 4 terminate within the tension adjuster 7, at the ends of the tensioning device 4, two pulleys 72 are arranged end-to-end to balance the tension between strands N and N; while the tension adjuster 7 at one end of the tension device 4 may have only one pulley 72, in fact the tension adjuster 7 of fig. 14 must adjust the tension at both ends of the tension device 4; tension device 4 means that tension regulator 7 of fig. 14 has a double pulley 72 device.
Example 5:
the schemes of example 1, example 2, example 3 and example 4 are further described in conjunction with specific modes of operation, as described below:
the tensioning device 4 as shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, in each case shows and comprises a tensionable ring, in which the tensioner 3 is in some cases, although in some cases the tensionable ring is not circular; furthermore, in the different examples of the garment 1, the tensioner 3 and the fixing means 10 are either present alone or in some cases completely mutually substituted or mostly mutually substituted, also or at least encircling at the thigh.
In the example of garment 1 shown in fig. 2 and 4, garment 1 need not be in the form of a complete lower body garment, and it need only cover the relevant portions of the legs to remain stable; in fig. 2 and 4, the fastening device avoids the use of the waistband 2 in place; thus, the example of garment 1 shown in figures 2 and 4 may be implemented in the form of a leg hose extending from the upper thigh to the calf; the wearer may prefer to use a wider garment 1 for aesthetic reasons; in the usual case, the inclusion of self-securing tensioning means 4 in the complete lower body garment allows the garment 1 to be extended to the foot position without the need for extension; the garment 1 may need to be fully wrapped around the knee position; or only a portion of the locations may be wrapped; for example, the posterior side of the knee or the patella P6 may in principle be uncovered by the garment 1.
Example 6:
the schemes of example 1, example 2, example 3 and example 4 are further described in conjunction with specific modes of operation, as described below:
as shown in fig. 13, in the above embodiment, further, the tensioner 3 is provided with a stabilizing connector 9, the end of the stabilizing connector 9 passes through the front of the adjacent hip bone and lower abdomen and is connected to the side of the waistband 2 far away from the tensioner 3, the tension device 4 is provided with a stabilizing part 6, the stabilizing part 6 comprises a first stabilizing cloth 61, a second stabilizing cloth 62 and a third stabilizing cloth 63, the first stabilizing cloth 61 is positioned above the overlapping point above the patella P6, two sides of the first stabilizing cloth 61 are respectively connected to the tension device 4, the second stabilizing cloth 62 is positioned behind the principal acupoint, two sides of the second stabilizing cloth 62 are respectively extended to two sides of the patella P6 and are fixedly connected to two ends of the tension device 4 in the knee region, the third stabilizing cloth 63 is positioned below the overlapping point below the patella P6, and two sides of the third stabilizing cloth 63 are respectively connected to the tension device 4.
A stabilizing connector 9 connecting the tension device 4 to the waistband 2 for preventing the garment 1 from being pulled down when adjusting the tension in the tension device 4; the stabilizing connector 9 can be implemented in a number of different ways, all embodiments employing the principle of connecting the tension device 4 to the waistband 2; the stabilizing connector of fig. 13 is made as a substantially inextensible fabric strip that exhibits inextensibility in at least the longitudinal direction, maintaining tension in that direction; in fig. 13 the stabilizing connector is seen as extending through the front of the garment 1, but it could also extend from the tension device 4, through the rear half of the garment 1 to the waistband 2.
In other examples of garments 1, the stabilising connector 9 may be considered as part of a group in the substantially inextensible tensioners 3 laid out within the tunnel pipe 42 and thus may be of the same construction as the tensioning device 4, in order to help ensure that the garment 1 does not excessively deform or wrinkle when the tension of the tensioning device 4 is adjusted, the stabilising portion 6 consisting of a substantially inextensible fabric is fused into the fabric, or the base material of the garment 1 is connected into the tunnel pipe 42 of the tension member (see figures 6, 7 and 8), or into the garment 1 material or fabric immediately adjacent to the tunnel pipe 42; a substantially inextensible fabric is used for the stabilising portion 6; a fabric having at least a horizontal direction as the non-extensible direction is used.
As shown in fig. 13, below the front portion of the leg and near the stabilizing portion 6 of the intersection e2, forces are applied to the sections e2-c2 and e2-d2 of the tension device 4, the principal components being perpendicular to the path of the tension device 4 along both sections e2-c2 and e2-d 2; the stabilizing section 6 may be fastened to the tension means 4 carrying tension on both sections e2-c2 and e2-d 2; in fig. 13, the stabilizing section 6 is shown covering most of the front leg, the triangular area below the intersection e2 between e2-c2 and e2-d 2; in general, the stabilizing section 6 may extend anywhere in the front of the leg below the intersection e2 between e2-c2 and e2-d2 to establish lateral tension below the intersection e2 of the sections e2-c2 and e2-d2 in front of the leg.
As shown in fig. 13, the stabilizing section 6 may be positioned in front of the leg near above the intersection point f2 and exert tension in the tensioning device on the segments f2-a2 and f2-g2, the principal component being perpendicular to the path of the tensioning device 4 along the two segments f2-a2 and f2-g 2; the stabilizing section 6 may be secured to the members of the two tunnel pipes 42 carrying the tension device 4, f2-a2 and f2-g 2; in fig. 13, the stabilizing section 6 is shown covering a substantial portion of the front leg, a generally triangular area below the intersection point f2 between segments f2-a2 and f2-g 2; in general, the stabilizing section 6 may extend over any portion of the front of the leg above the intersection point f2 between sections f2-a2 and f2-g2 so as to establish lateral tension below the intersection point f2 between sections f2-a2 and f2-g2 in front of the leg.
As shown in fig. 13, the stabilizing section 6 covers most of the area behind the leg near the upper side of the intersection e2 and applies tension of the tension device 4 to the inner and outer sides of the e2-f2 section, the principal component being perpendicular to the path of the tension device 4 along the inner and outer sides of the e2-f2 section; the stabilizing section 6 may be secured to the tunnel tube 42 carrying the tension device 4 along the inner and outer sides of the e2-f2 section; in fig. 13, the stabilizing section 6 is shown as rectangular in shape, covering the posterior leg, the area between the medial and lateral sides of the e2-f2 segment between above the intersection e2 and below the patella P6; in general, the stabilizing section 6 may extend between the inner and outer regions of the leg rear section e2-f2, any region below the intersection point f2 or any region above the intersection point e2, in order to establish a lateral tension between the inner and outer regions of the leg rear section e2-f2 below the intersection point f2 and above the intersection point e 2; considering the demand for the degree of freedom of movement of the knee joint, the area covered by the stabilizing section 6 between the intersection e2 and the intersection f2 may be limited, and thus the arrangement shown in fig. 13 is made.
In the general garment 1 example, the stabilizing section 6 is composed of a fabric that is substantially inextensible in the horizontal direction, and the stabilizing section 6 is laid out between the horizontally opposed regions of the inner and outer sections of the tensioning device 4; when the tensioner 3 is adjusted to control the longitudinal tension of the tension device 4, the outer and inner portions of the tension device 4 will develop a lateral tension relative to each other; as can be seen in fig. 13, when the lateral tension above the intersection e2 and below f2 in front of the leg is triggered, the lateral tension at the position behind the leg between the general area intersection e2 and f2 of the patella P6 position is also triggered at the same time; in a typical case, the garment 1 may be laterally connected to two tensioning devices 4 by a portion of inextensible fabric, the other portion of the tensioning devices 4 being horizontally tensioned over the leg.
In a further aspect, as shown with reference to the description of fig. 13 and 7 and fig. 14, the tension adjuster 7 in the garment 1 can balance the tension between at least two strands within the tension device 4; for example, we can consider that the tension device 4 comprises: the plurality of strands N, O and N are as shown in fig. 7; in fig. 14, we show one end of the tensioning device 4, thus showing one end of strands N, O and N; as a non-limiting example, one end of the tensioning device 4 as illustrated in fig. 14; one end of the tension device 4 shown in fig. 14 may be close to a tension adjuster 7 (see fig. 13) arranged at the distal end of the tension device 4; when the wearer wears the garment 1 and the legs move, the tension device 4 bends and without the adjuster, may result in a significantly different tension of the different strands of the tension device 4; the presence of the regulator allows the tensioning device 4 to tighten, by twisting the tensioning device 4, without causing unbalanced tensions that interfere with the function of the garment 1 and with the comfort of the garment 1.
Example 7:
the scheme of example 1 is further described in conjunction with the specific operation described below:
as shown in fig. 11, as a preferred embodiment, further, the tensioner 3 is disposed on the outer side of the thigh, one end of the tension device 4 is connected to the tensioner 3, the other end of the tension device 4 sequentially passes over the outer side of the patella P6, passes over the rear of the shank from the outer side of the shank, and is led out from the inner side of the shank, passes over the inner side of the thigh from the inner side of the thigh, passes over the rear of the thigh, and is connected to the tensioner 3, two contact points are disposed between the two ends of the tension device 4, the two contact points are disposed above and below the patella P6, respectively, the two contact points of the tension device 4 are disposed with inextensible cloths 5, the fixing portion is fixedly connected to the garment 1, and the tension device 4 is disposed between the inextensible cloths 5 and the garment 1.
As shown in fig. 11, a wearable garment 1 for stabilizing a knee portion of a wearer is presented, comprising: a closed tension ring which is arranged on the surface of the garment 1 or embedded in the material of the garment 1 and freely moves along the tunnel pipe 42; tunnel tubes 42 that approach each other at the knees along paths on the inner and outer sides; a tensioner 3 disposed in or on the tension ring for adjusting tension of the tension ring; wherein the lateral and medial portions of the path of tunnel tube 42 pass through patella P6 at the knee of the wearer, lateral collateral ligament P9 and medial collateral ligament P3 near the knee of the user in FIG. 1; the outer and inner portions of the path of tunnel tube 42 converge toward each other and meet at least one point, the position of which is either at a point x below the knee in the figure or at a point y above the knee in the figure; fig. 11 shows the tunnel tube 42 and the tension ring surrounding the rear portion of the leg.
The outer and inner portions of the tunnel tube 42 path may be proximate to each other at a first point below the knee of the wearer (point x) and a second point above the knee of the wearer (point y); it should be noted that while the actual tunnel tube 42 portions may overlap at points x and y, the outside and inside portions of the tension ring within tunnel tube 42 are not connected together at points y or x; when the wearer wears the garment 1, the tension loop may generate pressure on at least one of the lateral collateral ligament P9 and the medial collateral ligament P3 by adjusting the tension of the tensioner 3; tunnel tube 42 may be routed in the distal region of the triceps around the calf, as shown in fig. 11, which serves one function of securing garment 1 to the triceps around the calf; the tension ring may comprise a tension device 4 running along the tunnel pipe 42; tensioner 3 may be deployed at the thigh of the wearer; the tension means 4 may be made of a longitudinally inextensible material, while at the same time the material may remain flexible; the tension ring is inlaid or laid out on the garment 1 in the same manner as in fig. 6, 7 and 8; the tunnel tube 42 may comprise a length of tunnel tube 42 having a low coefficient of friction, and the tunnel tube 42 may be in the form of a sequencing tube; referring to the example of garment 1 in fig. 4, the tension loop shown in fig. 11 extends substantially around the thigh to secure garment 1C to the thigh.
The solution adopted in the example of the garment 1 shown in figures 2, 3 and 4 is the same as the one shown in figure 11 for fixing the fixing device 10 to the thigh of a wearer; to ensure that the material of the garment 1 is not deformed by stretching, resulting in breaking the force exerted by the tension ring, portions of the garment 1 may be made of a suitable inextensible material; the example of garment 1 in fig. 9 is considered very similar to that of fig. 4, but the tension loops themselves do not overlap.

as shown in fig. 6, as a preferred embodiment, the garment 1 further comprises two layers of cloth, a guide channel is arranged between the two layers of cloth, the tension device 4 is positioned in the guide channel, the tension device 4 comprises a tunnel pipe 42, and a tension wire 41 is arranged in the tunnel pipe 42.
As shown in fig. 6, the garment 1 uses the seam created by the seam line to carry the tunnel pipe 42 in a stitched manner, and in this example of the garment 1, the tunnel pipe 42 is shown in the form of the tunnel pipe 42; the tension device 4 is laid out longitudinally along the tunnel pipe 42; the material selection of the tunnel pipe 42 is based on a specific low friction coefficient with the tension device 4; in some more broad examples of garments 1, it is possible to include a plurality of seams, each of which includes a tunnel tube 42 longitudinally along the seam, each tunnel tube 42 having a strand of the corresponding tensioning device 4 extending longitudinally along the tunnel tube 42.
As shown in fig. 6, the cross-section of the tunnel tube 42 is shown as circular, but in other examples of the garment 1, the cross-section of the tunnel tube 42 may comprise any shape as long as the strands of the tensioning device 4 can move freely within it, while making the tunnel tube 42 compatible with the ergonomic requirements to which the garment 1 is subjected; a suitable cross-section may be semi-circular or a smaller one provided with enough curvature to accommodate the strands of the tensioning device 4 while ensuring that the other side is flat for a better fit to the garment 1; in the foregoing, it has been contemplated that the tunnel tube 42 may be provided in the form of a sequencing tube that allows for a low coefficient of friction to be maintained within the tunnel tube 42 while allowing for the use of inextensible tunnel tube 42 materials; the material of tunnel tube 42 may include, for example, but is not limited to, teflon and silica; in the example of the garment 1 concerned, the strands of the tensioning device 4 are stitched inside the seam and sandwiched between two portions of low friction material; in further examples of garments 1, the seams may be made of composite material by adhesive, heat sealing or other combination means, or a tunnel tube 42 may be formed of suitable spatially separated seams, where the tunnel tube 42 may be implemented similarly to the examples of garments 1 in examples 3 and 4.

In other garment 1 examples, the adjuster may have any other mechanical arrangement that allows the tension in the two strands in a pair approximately equidistant from the centerline of the tension device 4 to be balanced; this includes, as a non-limiting example, a curved tunnel tube 42 (not shown) allowing the attached strands to move freely within the curved tunnel tube 42; in other examples of garments 1, the tension regulator 7 may be placed in close proximity to the tensioner 3; in some more examples of garments 1, the tension regulator 7 may be incorporated into the tensioner 3.

Example 15:
the following further describes the schemes of examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 in conjunction with specific working modes, and is described in detail below:
as shown in fig. 10, a method of manufacturing a wearable garment 1 for stabilizing a user's knee is proposed, the method comprising:
1. the garment 1 is formed to at least partially cover the following: at least one knee, an adjacent calf triceps and a distal portion of an adjacent thigh;
2. establishing at least one tunnel tube 42 on the garment 1 surface or embedded inside the garment 1 for carrying tension rings, the path of the tunnel tube 42 being laid out so as to intersect at least at the front inner and outer sides of the garment 1 at intersection points above and below the knee, and at least one of them;
3. sewing the tensioning device 4 along a path through the tunnel tube 42;
4. a tensioner 3 is built up in and on the loop for the tension of the tension means 4.
The sewing tension device 4 may comprise a flexible but inextensible portion; the sewing tension device 4 may comprise one or more of the following materials: polytetrafluoroethylene, stainless steel, nylon, kevlar, one or more ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, fibers with diamond weave; the tensioning device 4 sewn with diamond-knitted fibers may comprise the following materials: cotton, polyester, polyethylene and aramid fibers.
Establishing tunnel tube 42 may include intersecting the path layout of tunnel tube 42 at locations above and below the knee; the composition of the garment 1 may include extending the garment 1 to the waist of the wearer, forming a waistband 2 around the waist; setting the tensioner 3 may include setting the tensioner 3 on a belt; providing the tensioner 3 in or on the loop may include providing the tensioner 3 at the thigh of the garment 1.
Example 16:
the scheme of example 16 is further described in conjunction with the specific operation described below:
the process of attaching the fabric is also used in fig. 16, wherein the process method is the same as that of fig. 15, but is different from that of fig. 15 in the arrangement of the structure; the tension strip 8 is attached to the back surface of the garment 1. The tension strip 8 starts to be attached at a point a4 on the outer side of the thigh of the garment 1, passes through the inner side of the patella and extends to the outer side c4 of the shank, then bypasses the rear part of the shank and comes out from the inner side d4 of the shank, passes through the outer side of the patella and extends to the inner side g4 of the thigh, then bypasses the rear part of the thigh, is closed at the point a4, and forms an intersection point between f4 and e4 above the knee, wherein in the garment 1, a fabric which has small longitudinal stretching degree and absorbs moisture and ventilates is selected as an attaching material at the attaching position, and the fabric which meets the factors can be adopted in the selection of the materials; in order to stabilize the knees, the pressure effect is better, the fabric is cut into a certain width at the joint part, the joint principle of the tension strip 8 at the knee part is the same as that of the strand threading, the whole joint part can form a complete ring shape, and the two crossed areas can play a good role in fixing; the position indicated by the dotted line is wound behind the leg, and plays a role in fixing and supporting at the integral fitting position; if the knee moves to the everted or everted position, the tension of the patch around the knee increases, the patch generates abduction or adduction forces on the knee, thereby providing support to the collateral ligaments, the support at the knee pad acting to stabilize the joint by restoring the knee to the correct position by applying pressure; the process is beneficial to production, and can play a certain role in protecting knees.
The tension bar 8 passes close to the two collateral ligaments, and generates pressure on the medial collateral ligament P3 and the lateral collateral ligament P9 in those areas of the knee, so that the path of the tension bar 8 is determined by the ligament position, and the leg path surrounded by the tension bar 8 is laid out so as to meet at least in one place of the intersection point of the point f4 above the knee and the point e4 below the knee on the medial and lateral sides of the front of the garment; the tension bar 8 may be routed around the distal region of the triceps surae, which serves the function of securing the garment 1 to the triceps surae.
In this arrangement, the tension bar 8, by encircling the leg, not only generates or applies a steady compressive force on the knee region P, but also generates or applies pressure on the tension bar 8 where it grips the calf region c4-d4-e4, applying pressure to the segments e4-c4 and e4-d4 of the tension bar 8 below the front of the leg and near the steady portion of the intersection e4, the steady portion c4-d4-e4 being secured to the two paths of e4-c4 and e2-d2 carrying the tension bar 8; in general, the stabilizing sections c4-d4-e4 may extend anywhere in the front of the leg below the intersection e4 between e4-c4 and e4-d4 to establish lateral tension below the intersection e4 of the sections e4-c4 and e4-d4 in front of the leg; the tension bar 8 thus also becomes itself the distal fixation means 10 of the leg; by means of surrounding the legs, the same function is also achieved as for securing the garment 1 to the thigh; in actual operation, based on the principle of the passive human joint stability protection system, the tension strips 8 are arranged in many combinations, according to different requirements, the tension strips 8 can be laid out on any joint parts required, and according to different ligament pressure requirements, appropriate tension strip materials are selected to carry out different path layouts.
Example 17:
the scheme of example 17 is further described in conjunction with the specific operation described below: in fig. 17 and 18, M1 and M2 are effects of using the joint stabilization system, and N1 are effects of not using the joint stabilization system.
Example 18:
the scheme of example 18 is further described in conjunction with the specific operation described below: in some basic garment examples, the intersection point need only be one, either above or below the knee, with the advantage that the paths of the upward and downward portions of the tension device 4 approach each other on opposite sides of the knee, gradually converge toward each other and intersect at a point.
Example 19:
the scheme of example 18 is further described in conjunction with the specific operation described below: the exact path of the tension device 4 is essentially selected by the force required to stabilize the knee, which in turn is determined by the support and compression forces required for the four ligaments in the knee in the diagram 1 discussed above; it is worth noting here that the tension device 4 passes close to the two collateral ligaments, the medial collateral ligament P3 and the lateral collateral ligament P9, to generate pressure in those areas of the knee; the path of the tensioning device 4 is thus determined by the position of the ligament.
In the patterns 2, 3 and 4, the single tension device 4 is arranged on a path longitudinally following a previously preset path, the tension being controlled longitudinally; the garment 1 may generally comprise one or more tensioning devices 4, each tensioning device 4 being either on the garment 1 surface or embedded inside the garment 1, following a corresponding pre-set longitudinal 3D path, the pre-set path corresponding to one or more tensioning devices being associated with at least one natural ligament of the anatomic joint.
We now turn to the problem of the nature of the tensioning device 4 and its interaction with the material matrix from which the garment 1 is made; pattern 2, pattern 3 and pattern 4 schematically show the path of the tensioning device 4, but do not show how the tensioning device 4 is embedded in the garment 4 or on the garment surface the tensioning device 4 has to move freely within the garment 1 without wrinkling or significant deformation of the garment; to achieve this, the tensioning device 4 is arranged along a path of a tunnel tube 42 embedded in the material of the garment 1, the tunnel tube 42 possibly comprising a natural passage in the knitted material of the garment 1; in other garment examples, tunnel tube 42 may be tubular in nature and may be disposed within or outside of the material matrix of the garment, attachable to the material matrix of garment 1; in other garment examples, the conduit may include a tube segment, described in the description herein as a "sequencing tube; the use of a sequencing tube allows the degree of friction between the tensioning device 4 and the base material of the garment 1 to be adjusted; in other garment examples, the tunnel tube may be made of a different garment matrix material than garment 1; in further embodiments, the path of the tunnel tube 42 may be demarcated by the seams of the garment or by the seams on one side of the tensioning device 4; the seam arrangement is such that the garment material is stitched together in the seam and the tensioning device 4 extends longitudinally within the seam.
The tensioning device 4 may comprise a plurality of individual strands extending along the tunnel pipe, which individual strands eventually may be gathered together and collected in the tensioner 3; the tension device 4 is made of materials with poorer extensibility than the clothing itself; materials suitable for use in constructing the tension device 4 have the property of being longitudinally inextensible but retaining flexibility; suitable materials for the tension device 4 include, but are not limited to, the following: stainless steel, nylon,

Considering that the tension means 4 are free to move within their respective conduits, we now return to figure 2 to illustrate the relationship between the fixing means 10 and the tension means 4 at point i; for this purpose, the thigh area of figure 2 is shown enlarged and in more detail in figure 5; in one garment example, the securing device 10 may extend from point g to point i along a conduit similar to the tensioning device 4; in order that the latter arrangement may serve as a fixation, the fixation device 10 is attached to the tail of the catheter, close to the point i; it is noted that the position of the fixing means 10 at point i is not connected to the tension means 4, since the tension needs to remain freely movable within the catheter; in this arrangement, the portion of the tensioning device 4 extending from position a to position i at the tensioner 3, together with the entire fixation device 10, surrounds the thigh and forms a complete fixation device; since the tension device 4 needs to be able to move freely within the tunnel pipe and can pass the position of point i, the path curvature of the tension device 4 at position i has an upper limit, which is determined by the flexibility of the tension device 4; for this reason, the choice of material for the tensioning device 4 is affected, which requires a material that is substantially inextensible in the longitudinal direction but has a high flexibility; this makes the use of various fibers with diamond or basket weave, including cotton, polyester, and polypropylene, important for certain some style garment examples, as shown in figure 2 and figure 5.
The portion of the garment 1 between the fastening means 10 and the tensioning means 4, the third stabilizing cloth 63, which in the figures may be composed of a non-extensible material, ensures that any tension applied to the fastening means 10 by the tensioner 3, the position of the third stabilizing cloth 63 is not simply infinitely elongated, so as to ensure that the fastening means 10 and the tensioning means 4 are in a condition of mutual approaching in the garment 1; in other garment examples, a loop is formed at the end of the fixture 10 near i to ensure that the force to be applied to the end of the fixture 10 is dispersed to a larger area and to avoid deforming the fabric of the garment 1 during pulling; graph 5 also shows that the tensioner 4 enters the tensioner 3 through a port of the tensioner.
The degree of freedom in selecting the basic material of the garment 1 is great; there are several advantages to selecting a relatively high stretch fabric such as spandex, but not limited to spandex or a blend of spandex with other fibers; this allows the garment to be designed to fit more closely and also reduces the likelihood of wrinkling of the garment 1 when the tension device 4 is activated.
Figure 6, figure 7 and figure 8 show embodiments of different tunnel pipes used in the tensioning device; using figures 2 and 5 as an example, figure 6 shows a garment 1 with seams sewn to carry tunnel pipe 42, which in this garment example is shown in the form of a tube; the tension device 4 is laid out longitudinally along the tunnel pipe 42; the material selection of the tunnel pipe 42 is based on a specific low friction coefficient with the tension device 4; in some more broad garment examples, there may be a plurality of seams, each seam including a tunnel tube 42 longitudinally along the seam, each tunnel tube 42 having strands of a corresponding tensioning device 4 extending longitudinally along the tunnel tube 42; as shown in figure 6, the cross-section of the tunnel tube 42 is shown as circular, but in other examples of garments, the cross-section of the tunnel tube 42 may comprise any shape as long as the strands of the tensioning device 4 can move freely within it, while making the tunnel tube 42 compatible with the ergonomic requirements to which the garment 1 is subjected; a suitable cross-section may be semi-circular or a smaller one provided with enough curvature to accommodate the strands of the tensioning device 4 while ensuring that the other side is flat for a better fit to the garment 1; in the foregoing, it has been contemplated that the tunnel tube 42 may be provided in the form of a sequencing tube that allows for a low coefficient of friction to be maintained within the tunnel tube 42 while allowing for the use of inextensible tubing materials; the material of the pipe may include, for example, but not limited to
Figure BDA0004136798280000451
And silica; in the related example of clothing, the strands of the tensioning device 4 are stitched to the seamIs clamped between the two parts of materials with low friction coefficient; in further garment embodiments, the seam may be made of a composite material by adhesive, heat sealing or other combination means, or a tunnel tube 42 may be formed of suitable spatially separated seams; where tunnel tube 42 may be implemented similarly to the clothing examples in figures 3 and 4.
In the description herein, the term "substantially inextensible fabric" is used to describe a fabric that extends in two dimensions and that is substantially inextensible in at least a first direction; the extensibility of the fabric in a direction perpendicular to the first direction may or may not be limited in any way; non-limiting examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, so-called biaxially oriented fabrics, whose blends include spandex, nylon,
