Taiwan's becoming a super-aged society. Aging causes the elderly to slow down in response, lose muscle strength, and significantly reduce balance and gait functions. In addition, osteoporosis causes insufficient bone mass. Hip fractures due to falls have an increasing trend.
It takes three months after surgery for people who have the semi-artificial hip replacement to return to normal activities.
In order to prevent the dislocation of the artificial joint after the operation, the daily life of the patient after the operation and after discharge from the hospital must be limited as follows: 1. The legs should not be crossed to prevent the hip joint from hanging out. 2. When lying flat or lying on the side, a pillow should be placed between the legs to prevent body joint retraction.
Many elderly people are prone to forgetting their postures when they fall asleep due to confusion after surgery, unable to properly clamp the pillow between their knees, and cross their feet, which leads to dislocation of the hip joint.
The research team designed a "combined foot cover, pillow, and lumbar fixation belt ", which can correctly fix the pillow between the patient's knees, maintain the hip abduction posture, and prevent dislocation.
