摘要： An orthopaedic support includes a sheet of foam material that has been compression molded in specific areas. These areas have a thickness and density that is different from other areas of the support and serve to better fit the support to the body. The support may include compression molded grooves or cavities to accommodate straps, struts, gel-filled pads, inflatable bladders, pumps, and other accessories. The support may also include compression molded grooves that reduce bunching when the support is bent, and may include molded edges to minimize skin irritation during activity. The brace may also be a back brace or an ankle brace having compression molded components. A method of compression molding an orthopaedic support includes compression molding at least one sheet of resilient foam material in selected areas to reduce the thickness and increase the density of the material in those areas. Various embodiments of the present invention may include compression-molded bladders having walls which are compression-molded about the bladder perimeter.
摘要翻译：矫形支架包括已在特定区域压缩成型的泡沫材料片。这些区域的厚度和密度与支撑体的其他区域不同，并且用于更好地将支撑件适合身体。支撑件可以包括压缩模制的凹槽或空腔以适应带子，支柱，凝胶填充的垫，可充气囊，泵和其它附件。支撑件还可以包括当支撑件弯曲时减少聚束的压缩模制凹槽，并且可以包括模制边缘以最小化活动期间的皮肤刺激。支架也可以是具有压缩模制部件的后支架或踝撑支架。压缩成型矫形支架的方法包括在选定区域中压缩成型至少一片弹性泡沫材料，以减小这些区域中的材料的厚度和增加密度。本发明的各种实施例可以包括具有围绕气囊周边压缩模制的壁的压缩模制气囊。

摘要： An ankle support (100) is constructed using a molded pad (110) and a rigid shell (112). The pad (110) and the shell (112) may be sealed together to form a bladder-pad cushion for comfort. The internal structure of the pad (110) is molded to include geometrically shaped cells of various size, shape and thickness to provide differing levels of localized comfort to the user of the ankle support (100). The pad may be made from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which is spring-like and resists compression sets. The pad may include integrally-molded fingers extending to the shell. The fingers may have different lengths in one or more regions, in order to increase the cushioning effect in a particular region. The pad/shell combination may form a sealed bladder, and a pneumatic pump may be provided in conjunction with the shell so that the user can inflate the bladder.
摘要翻译：使用模制垫（110）和刚性壳（112）构造脚踝支撑件（100）。垫（110）和壳（112）可以密封在一起以形成用于舒适的气囊垫。衬垫（110）的内部结构被模制成包括各种尺寸，形状和厚度的几何形状的细胞，以为脚踝支撑件（100）的使用者提供不同程度的局部舒适感。衬垫可以由弹簧状的热塑性弹性体（TPE）制成并抵抗压缩组合。垫可以包括延伸到外壳的一体模制的手指。手指可以在一个或多个区域中具有不同的长度，以便增加特定区域中的缓冲效果。垫/壳组合可以形成密封的囊，并且可以与壳结合设置气动泵，使得使用者可以使囊膨胀。

摘要： A pneumatic ankle brace having a pair of relatively rigid side supports with inflatable main bladders attached to their inside surfaces. The inflatable main bladders are coupled to an interconnected foot pump. Additional support and back-up bladders may be placed distally upon the main bladders to provide further cushioning and support. The foot pump is activated through normal use, such as walking or running, whereby entrapped fluid is displaced back and forth between the main bladders and the pump. This creates a pulsing action which provides a massaging compression effect which helps reduce swelling and increase venous and lymphatic return.
摘要翻译：一种气动踝撑支架，具有一对相对刚性的侧支架，其具有连接到其内表面的可膨胀主气囊。可膨胀的主气囊联接到互连的脚踏泵。额外的支撑和备用气囊可以远离放置在主气囊上以提供进一步的缓冲和支撑。通过正常使用，例如步行或跑步，脚泵可被启动，由此夹带的流体在主气囊和泵之间来回移动。这产生脉冲作用，其提供按摩压缩效应，其有助于减少肿胀并增加静脉和淋巴回流。

摘要： An improved ankle brace that is easily adjustable for improved comfort and use. The ankle brace includes a pair of relatively rigid side supports to fit about a lower leg of a patient, and the lower area of the side supports may be adapted to position an assembly of heel straps. The assembly may include at least two straps, which are coupled at the ends and adapted to adjust the effective length of the assembly, so that it may be accommodated for different heel widths of different patients. Alternatively, the assembly may include three pieces, an intermediary member for linking the other two straps. The assembly may be attached to the side supports through a pin mechanism that may be either capped (as by heat staking) or welded at the end to hold it in position. Alternatively, a cap with protruding plastic pin may be molded directly onto the strap, effectively making them one piece to be assembled as such. Also, the assembly is preferably made of flexible resilient material so that it will comfortably conform to patient's heel, but be resistant to stretching.

摘要： An improved ankle brace may have two relatively rigid side supports, the outer edge portion of the lower area of the side supports, adjacent to the ankle being covered with a flexible or resilient material. The flexible resilient material may be permanently secured to the side supports by bonding, mechanical interlocking, or by any other suitable arrangements. Additional resilient flexible material may be placed on the interior surface of the side supports to improve the fit and comfort of the brace around the user's lower leg. The rigid side supports may be of an open type with the resilient flexible material extending across the side supports and beyond the edges thereof. The lower area of the side supports may include a pivoting mechanism to adjustably receive heel straps. Each of the side supports may include a structural frame that surrounds but does not cover the ankle or malleolus.

摘要： A back support assembly including a bulb pump which when pumped or squeezed by the user inflates an air cushion to exert the desired pressure and fit against the user's lower back. The cushion is secured to the middle of the elastic belt, which is adapted to wrap around the user's back to position the air cushion against the middle of the user's back. Opposing adjustment straps are attached to the back of the strap. With the belt secured around the user the adjustment straps can be pulled and releasably secured to the belt and/or each other at respective positions exerting the desired force on the air cushion and against the user's back. The bulb pump is conveniently attached to and carried by one of the adjustment straps. It is secured to the rear of that strap, and has its rounded forward portion extending out through an opening in the strap, operatively accessible for inflation/deflation by the user. That is, with this mounting arrangement the bulb pump is out of the way, but still readily accessible for squeeze pumping action by the user, and by its shape, construction and location advantageously has a low profile.
摘要翻译：背部支撑组件，其包括灯泡泵，当用户泵送或挤压时，将气垫充气以施加期望的压力并适合使用者的下背部。缓冲垫固定在弹性带的中间，该弹性带适于包裹使用者的背部，以将气垫抵靠使用者背部的中部。相反的调节带贴在背带上。当皮带固定在使用者周围时，调节带可被拉动并且可释放地固定到皮带和/或彼此在相应的位置处施加期望的力在气垫上并抵靠使用者的背部。灯泡泵方便地连接到其中一个调节带并由其承载。它被固定到该带的后部，并且其圆形的前部部分延伸穿过带的开口，可操作地接近用户的充气/放气。也就是说，通过这种安装布置，灯泡泵不方便，但是仍然容易接近用户的挤压泵送动作，并且通过其形状，结构和位置有利地具有低轮廓。

摘要： An ankle brace has first and second semi-rigid shell members for extending over the ankle and the lower leg on the inner and outer sides of the ankle. A sealed bladder pad is mounted to each of the shell members on the side of the shell member facing the ankle. Each bladder pad includes three small-interconnected bladders wherein a first larger bladder is mounted at the lower end of the shell, and two side-by-side upper bladders are mounted on an upper portion of the associated shell member. The three bladders having restricted openings permitting limited flow of air between the bladders. When a patient wearing the ankle brace walks, the lower bladder is compressed, and air is directed through the restricted openings to the upper bladders, thereby intermittently varying the pressure on the ankle and lower leg, and promoting circulation.
