Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical correction devices, and particularly relates to a modular scoliosis orthosis and its control method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the common practice for scoliosis in China is to take a plaster negative mold for the patient, repair the plaster according to the scoliosis direction and angle of the patient, and finally form the process, which has many inconveniences; first, taking a plaster negative mold for the patient cannot protect the privacy of the patient; at the same time, the setting of the plaster is exothermic, generating a large amount of moisture, which is not good for the skin, and the molding time and the production time are relatively long, and the overall process is relatively old-fashioned.

[0003] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects existing in the prior art are as follows:

[0004] (1) For existing patients, the plaster structure cannot protect the privacy of the patients, and at the same time, the setting of the plaster is exothermic, generating a large amount of moisture, which is not good for the skin.

[0005] (2) For existing patients, the molding time and the production time of the plaster structure are relatively long, and the overall process is relatively old-fashioned.

[0006] The difficulty in solving the above problems and defects is:

[0007] How to accurately obtain the 3D model of the patient's body surface to provide a direct practical basis for subsequent shaping work.

[0008] The significance of solving the above problems and defects is:

[0009] Traditional plaster casting methods use a large amount of materials and are time-consuming. The three-dimensional scanning method can complete the modeling of human body parts in a very short time, and the accuracy is also better than that of plaster casting. Under normal circumstances, the accuracy of three-dimensional scanning can reach the 0.1mm level, which is an accuracy that traditional plaster casting is difficult to achieve. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a modular scoliosis orthosis and its control method.

[0011] The present invention is implemented as follows. A modular scoliosis orthosis is provided with:

[0012] A pelvic fixation mechanism for fixing the human pelvis through a pressing plate;

[0013] A three-point pressure mechanism for applying pressure to the human sternum, ribs, collarbone and scapula through a pressing plate device;

[0014] An adjustment module adjusted through a carbon fiber strut and an aluminum alloy part adjustment device.

[0015] Furthermore, the pelvic fixation mechanism includes: pelvic adjustment struts, a pelvic adjustment module, an iliac muscle pressing plate, a lumbar pressing plate, an abdominal pressing plate, a pelvic adjustment module, and a tension belt.

[0016] Furthermore, the iliac muscle pressing plate is fixed with pelvic adjustment struts through the pelvic adjustment module, the pelvic adjustment struts are connected to the lumbar pressing plate, and the lumbar pressing plate is fixed with pelvic adjustment struts through the pelvic adjustment module.

[0017] Furthermore, the iliac muscle pressing plate is connected to the abdominal pressing plate through the tension belt.

[0018] Furthermore, the three-point pressure mechanism includes: a scapula pressing plate, a clavicle pressing plate, a scapula-clavicle pressing plate adjustment module, a sternum pressing plate adjustment module, a sternum pressing plate, and a rib pressing plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the scapula pressing plate and the clavicle pressing plate are fixed on the sternum pressing plate through the scapula-clavicle pressing plate adjustment module, and the scapula pressing plate is connected to the clavicle pressing plate through the tension belt.

[0020] Furthermore, the scapula pressing plate is connected to the back strut through the tension belt;

[0021] The back strut is fixed with the sternum pressing plate adjustment module, and the lower end of the back strut is connected to the pelvic adjustment module.

[0022] Furthermore, the sternum pressing plate adjustment module is connected to the sternum pressing plate strut, and the sternum pressing plate strut is connected to the sternum pressing plate angle strut; the back strut is connected to the rib pressing plate through the tension belt, and the rib pressing plate is connected to the iliac muscle pressing plate through the rib pressing plate strut;

[0023] The sternum pressing plate is fixed with the scapula-clavicle pressing plate strut, and the scapula-clavicle pressing plate strut is connected to the pelvic adjustment module.

[0024] Furthermore, the adjustment module includes: a back strut, a scapula-clavicle pressing plate adjustment module, a scapula-clavicle pressing plate strut, a sternum pressing plate adjustment module, a sternum pressing plate strut, a sternum pressing plate angle strut, and a rib pressing plate strut.

[0025] Another object of the present invention is to provide a modular scoliosis control method using the modular scoliosis orthosis, and the modular scoliosis control method includes:

[0028] Step 3: Through the manual adjustment module, make it reach the best wearing effect, properly fasten the nylon fastener, and achieve the correction effect according to the three-point force principle of physics.

[0029] Combining all the above technical solutions, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention adopts a carbon fiber skeleton with good rigidity and is not easily deformed. At the same time, by using the "three-point force" principle, through the setting of pressure pads and stretching spaces, combined with measures such as growth mechanisms, breathing training, and gymnastics, it plays the roles of anti-rotation, stretching, and active correction, mainly aiming at the three-dimensional pressure and large release space of scoliosis and rotation of the spine. By guiding the patient's spinal movement, breathing movement, and spinal stretching through the pressure area and the corresponding release space, it is an orthosis for passive and active correction of scoliosis. The present invention does not need to take a plaster negative mold of the patient, only needs to measure the patient's body surface parameters, and finally connects them into a complete orthosis.
