Torticollis corrector

Abstract

The invention is applicable to the technical field of medical devices and provides a torticollis corrector. Thetorticolliscorrector comprises a first support piece and a second support piece, the first support piece is used for fixing a lower jaw part and an occipital part of an affected side of a patient; and the second support piece is used for fixing to the shoulder of the affected side of thepatient; wherein the first support piece is connected with the second support piece through a telescopic part, one end of the telescopic part is hinged to the second support piece, the other end of the telescopic part is rotationally connected with the first support piece, and the telescopic part is used for adjusting a relative height of the first support piece and the second support piece and adjusting a rotating angle of the neck of the patient. By adjusting the relative height of the first support piece and the second support piece, the torticollis corrector adapts to a rapid growth stateof the child patient, can also correct a rotation of the neck of the child patient, is not limited by a body position of the child patient and also does not affect normal life of the child patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a torticollis corrector. Background technique [0002] Congenital muscular torticollis in children is a common disease in children. The clinical manifestations are that the head is tilted to the affected side and the mandible is turned to the healthy side. Compensatory scoliosis of the spine may also occur due to asymmetry on both sides. [0003] In the treatment of torticollis, plaster external fixation, elastic band fixation or cap-type waist traction and fixation are usually used. Lumbar traction and fixation will be restricted by the child's position, and the fixation is not firm; torticollis children can also be corrected with cervical polymer external fixation orthosis, and the neck external fixation orthosis can be used to make a plaster model according to the inclination of the child's neck , the child's neck is in an overcorrected position after wearing it,...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the treatment of torticollis, plaster external fixation, elastic band fixation or cap-type waist traction and fixation are usually used. Lumbar traction and fixation will be restricted by the child's position, and the fixation is not firm; torticollis children can also be corrected with cervical polymer external fixation orthosis, and the neck external fixation orthosis can be used to make a plaster model according to the inclination of the child's neck , the child's neck is in an overcorrected position after wearing it, that is, the affected side is higher than the healthy side and slightly inclined to the healthy side; however, because children grow faster and the correction time of the orthotic is longer, one child needs to make multiple Neck external fixation orthosis causes a waste of materials, and children with muscular torticollis not only have head and neck roll, but also neck rotation, while the existing neck external fixation orthosis does not aim at Correction of the rotation of the child's neck
