Scoliosis brace and manufacturing method therefor

Abstract

The present invention relates to a scoliosis brace worn on the body so as to enable the normal curvature of the spine to be restored, and a manufacturing method therefor. The scoliosis brace accordingto one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a support part worn so as to cover one shoulder or one side of the abdominal region of the body; and a pressure band coupled so as to connect oneside and the other side of the support part, and covering one side or the other side of the abdominal region of the body or one side or the other side of the chest region of the body, with respect tothe support part, so as to pressurise and support the same.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a scoliosis orthosis and a manufacturing method thereof, which can restore the normal curve of the spine by being worn on the body. Background technique [0002] In general, scoliosis refers to the sideways curvature of the vertebrae and figure 1 The state of rotational deformation shown, when the lateral flexion is about 20° to 40°, preferably uses an orthosis that pushes the lateral ribs as indicated by the arrows. [0003] However, existing scoliosis assist devices (eg, Milwaukee brace, Boston brace, Tiso type) all use a rigid hard plastic material as the frame. [0004] Most of these orthotics are made of tubular construction and, when worn, fit tightly around the entire chest making it difficult to pick up objects while sitting on the floor. In this case, it is difficult to breathe, and when eating, there is a feeling of bloating, which makes it difficult to dress. [0005] Due to the nature of spinal orthoses, they nee...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In addition, since the strap needs to be fixed to the thigh, it is not possible to wear clothes with top and bottom that fit tightly to the body, and it is uncomfortable to walk

Wearing the strap orthosis in this way takes a lot of time and effort and is inconvenient to wear, so the wearer is reluctant to wear the strap orthosis for 24 hours

[0008] In addition, according to the shape of each person's curved part, by using gypsum to make a board with the same shape as the curved part, it takes a lot of time and money to make a plaster board, and there is a large difference in quality depending on the skill of the manufacturer The problem

[0009] In addition, when the orthosis needs to be replaced due to breakage, it is inconvenient for the user to visit the orthotic dealer or manufacturing company again because the work of rebuilding the mold with plaster must be performed again

In addition, in the process of transporting the plaster to the manufacturing company after making plaster molds at the dealership, part of the shape of the plaster was damaged, resulting in defective products
