Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a feedback type neck support. Background Art

[0002] The cervical brace is a popular form of physical therapy, which is widely used in people with neck injuries and cervical diseases. It is often used to treat neck injuries and cervical diseases, such as cervical disc herniation, cervical strain, cervical degeneration, etc. By limiting the range of motion of the neck and providing stable support, the cervical brace helps to relieve pain, relieve muscle tension, and promote recovery. Existing cervical braces are generally fixed in height, and wearing them for a long time may cause atrophy of the muscles around the neck. Because the brace provides additional support, the neck muscles do not need to support the neck on their own, which may cause the neck muscles to become weaker, increase dependence, and fail to effectively obtain the recovery of the neck, making it more difficult for patients to restore the function of the neck muscles, seriously affecting the effect of neck rehabilitation.
