ABSTRACT
Objective To develop a limb support suitable for timely treatment of a large number of patients in wartime or public emergencies.Methods There were two kinds of limb supports including a ground-based rollator and a table-mounted limb bracket,which were both composed of three components for bracing,supporting and regulating.The bracing component was responsible for load bearing,the supporting one contacted the limb,and the remained one was to regulate the support.The limb support could be driven electrically,pneumatically or manually.Results The limb support had its height,angle and width regulated easily to avail itself to the patients,and had no need for extra assistance.Conclusion The limb support gains advantages in practicability,safety,comfort and portability,and thus is worthy promoting in levels of medical facilities especially the first-line medical units in emergency conditions.
