The length of the compression longitudinal connecting rod in the above technical solution cannot be flexibly adjusted, and the tensile pressure on the lumbar spine cannot be monitored in real time. As a result, the patient may suffer secondary injuries in daily life, and the doctor cannot monitor the patient's lumbar force data in real time, which causes inconvenience to further diagnosis.
