Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lightweight prosthesis for the purely optical replacement of missing extremities with a molded body simulating the missing extremity, and to a receptacle for connecting the prosthesis to the stump of the missing extremity.
  • the invention serves only as an optical limb replacement for the temporary or permanent care of all types of amputations of the upper and lower extremities.
  • the present prosthesis is not intended to achieve stability or functionality. This means that the prosthesis should not be used for walking or grasping, but should only be used as an optical replacement that reproduces the missing extremity as faithfully as possible. Especially elderly patients after amputations not to deal in the area, with prostheses, which allow a walking or 'grasp.
  • EP 0 151 834 AI describes a leg prosthesis, in particular for use in the bathing area, which consists of a relatively firm shell and is provided on the inside with several inflatable air chambers. The area of the foot has a relatively large contact surface, which comprises a stiff sole.
  • the air chamber between the sole and the stump of the missing extremity assumes a certain stability, so that an occurrence on the artificial extremity is possible at least to a certain extent. If the prosthesis is not used, it can be folded up for storage or transportation. In order to achieve the necessary stability, the prosthesis becomes ever wider towards the foot, which does not correspond to the natural shape of the leg, so that such a prosthesis cannot serve as a visual replacement.
  • GB 2 064 331 A describes an inflatable prosthesis which is intended in particular for use immediately after amputation or after very long use of conventional prostheses. In order to enable the stump of the missing extremity to be assessed even when the prosthesis is attached, the prosthesis is preferably made of transparent material.
  • the prosthesis is made of a relatively thick material and has a two-layer structure, with a plurality of air chambers being formed between the two layers.
  • the prosthesis tapers downwards and ends in the form of a knob-like element.
  • This prosthesis is also unsuitable for an optical replacement of the missing limbs.
  • US 3 889 301 A shows a leg prosthesis in which the receptacle for the stump of the missing extremity is provided with an inflatable layer.
  • Such prostheses are used for therapeutic purposes by freshly amputated patients.
  • the lower area of the prosthesis includes a stem and a foot replica, which does not match the shape of a natural leg.
  • the US 4790855 A relates to an elastic support element for fastening the prosthetic legs after amputations of the leg above the knee.
  • the element is essentially made of a part made of flexible, elastic material, which is connected to the stump and waist, preferably via Velcro fasteners.
  • the circumference of the support element can be adapted to the respective circumference of the stump.
  • No information is given on the nature of the prosthesis itself or the receptacle for connecting the prosthesis to the stump.
  • EP 0806193 AI shows a leg prosthesis which contains a special, extremely elastic sleeve as a receptacle for connecting the prosthesis to the stump.
  • the sleeve is pulled over the stump as well as over the proximal end of the prosthesis, whereby the prosthesis is held securely on the stump.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to create a prosthesis mentioned at the outset which can be connected as simply as possible to the stump of the missing extremity and which is as light and simple as possible.
  • the prosthesis does not have to or gripping function, but only serves as an optical replacement for the missing extremity.
  • the prosthesis according to the invention should be able to be used for the largest possible area of extremities of different sizes, so that no expensive and complex custom-made products are required.
  • the cost of manufacturing the prosthesis should be as low as possible for the widest possible use.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in that the molded body consists of light plastic material and that the extent of the receptacle for connecting the prosthesis to the stump can be changed in a manner known per se.
  • a prosthesis in which the molded body consists of light plastic material, is relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture and has a low weight. Due to the changeable extent of the receptacle for connecting the prosthesis to the stump of the missing extremity, the prosthesis can be used for different dimensions of the stump.
  • the prosthesis described can thus also be used as an optical replacement for the missing limb by older patients who are no longer able to wear a functional prosthesis.
  • the molded body can, for example, be hollow or made of light material, for example styrofoam, preferably with a covering made of resistant plastic.
  • the variability of the circumference of the receptacle for connecting the prosthesis to the stump can be formed by the receptacle being made of elastic material at least in a partial area of the circumference. This represents a particularly simple way of realizing a variable scope.
  • the receptacle includes quick-release fasteners, for example Velcro fasteners, for fixing the stump.
  • quick-release fasteners for example Velcro fasteners
  • the length of the receptacle can also be changed, so that the prosthesis can also be used for patients of different sizes with extremities of different lengths.
  • the variability of the length of the receptacle can be formed in that the receptacle consists of elastic material over at least a partial area of its length, and that the elastic material forms at least one fold in this partial area in order to achieve a change in the length of the receptacle.
  • the receptacle can be designed to overlap in a partial area by forming two folds, the overlap being adapted to the length of the stump and the length of the extremity.
  • the at least one fold is advantageously fixed by quick fasteners, in particular Velcro fasteners.
  • the prosthesis can thus be quickly and easily fixed in the desired length.
  • the molded body of the prosthesis for the optical replacement of missing limbs can also contain one joint or several joints for simulating the joint or the joints of the missing extremity.
  • the functionality of this joint should only be limited to the absolute necessity. This means that, for example in the case of a leg prosthesis, a certain flexion of the knee joint should be made possible, whereas, on the other hand, functionality of the ankle is usually not necessary.
  • the molded body of the prosthesis advantageously consists of elastic, air-impermeable plastic and has at least one valve for inflating the molded body.
  • an inflatable prosthesis can be realized, which is particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture. Due to the receptacle designed according to the invention, it is not necessary to produce a custom-made prosthesis for each patient, which would increase the manufacturing costs.
  • the molded body can have a plurality of interconnected air chambers. Due to the special arrangement of the air chambers, the natural shape of the missing extremity can be reproduced well. Reinforcement layers made of plastic can be arranged in partial areas on the inside of the molded body. These can be used to form the joints or to reinforce stressed areas, for example the heel area or the foot the shoe is streaked serve.
  • the surface of the molded body is expediently reproduced by the coloring and surface structure of the skin of the missing extremity.
  • the prosthesis has fastening straps by means of which it can be connected to the patient's body.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a side view of a leg prosthesis according to the present invention
  • 2 shows a partial area of the receptacle of the prosthesis with an elastic partial area
  • 3 shows the inclusion of a prosthesis with quick-release fasteners
  • 4 shows an embodiment of the receptacle of the prosthesis with which the length of the receptacle can be changed
  • 5 shows a sectional view of the view according to FIG. 4 along the section line VV
  • FIG. 6 shows a variant of a leg prosthesis with an inflatable molded body.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a prosthesis for the optical replacement of missing limbs in the illustrated example of a missing leg with a molded body 1 simulating the missing extremity, and a receptacle 2 for connecting the prosthesis to the stump 3 of the missing extremity.
  • the molded body 1 is made of plastic and has no functional purposes. This means that with the help of the present prosthesis, no walking or gripping function has to be performed.
  • the scope of the receptacle 2 for connecting the prosthesis to the stump 3 can be changed, so that the prosthesis can be connected to stumps of different sizes of missing extremities.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment variant of a changeability of the circumference of the receptacle 2, which consists of a partial area 4 of the receptacle 2 made of elastic material.
  • the scope of the receptacle 2 can thus be adapted to a certain extent to stumps 3 of missing extremities of different sizes.
  • FIG. 3 shows A further variant of a change in the circumference of the receptacle 2 in FIG. 3, where the circumference of the receptacle 2 can be fixed with the aid of quick-release fasteners 6, for example Velcro fasteners.
  • the receptacle 2 is placed in two folds in the area 5, and the fold is fixed with the aid of the quick fasteners 6.
  • FIG. 6 shows a sectional view of an embodiment variant of the prosthesis, wherein the molded body 1 consists of elastic, air-impermeable plastic material 9 and has at least one valve 10 for inflating the molded body 1. This creates an inflatable prosthesis that is particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • Reinforcement layers 11 made of plastic can be arranged on the inside of the molded body 1 at sensitive points.
  • fastening straps 12 can be arranged for further fastening of the prosthesis to the patient's body.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une prothèse légère destinée à remplacer, de façon purement optique, des extrémités manquantes. Cette prothèse comprend un corps moulé (1), qui reproduit l'extrémité manquante de la façon la plus proche de la réalité, et un manchon pour mettre en place la prothèse sur le moignon de l'extrémité manquante. L'objectif de l'invention est de créer une telle prothèse qui puisse être utilisée de façon temporaire ou permanente, qui ne doive remplir aucune fonctionnalité et qui soit donc adaptée aussi à des patients âgés. Cet objectif est atteint par le fait que le corps moulé (1) est constitué d'une matière plastique légère et que la périphérie du manchon servant à la mise en place de la prothèse sur le moignon peut être modifiée d'une façon connue en soit. En particulier, le corps moulé (1) peut être également constitué d'une matière plastique (9) élastique non perméable à l'air, et présenter une valve (10) permettant son gonflage.
