TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of spinal orthopedic technology, in particular to a flexible intelligent scoliosis orthopedic suit. BACKGROUND

[0002] The spine is an important structure that supports and gives the human body its shape. From the back of the body, the spine is straight in the normal state. In most cases of bending and scoliosis, the spine may have one to three bending segments and axial rotation. This lateral bending may be C-shaped or S-shaped, commonly known as scoliosis. Some scoliosis is congenital, but most of them are acquired scoliosis, mainly due to poor posture and lack of muscle training leading to weakness of the back muscles. The main manifestations are high and low shoulders, forward stretching of the shoulders, lateral bending of the thoracolumbar spine and pelvic torsion, which make the body prone to back pain, lumbago, muscle weakness or scoliosis. Severe scoliosis can further compress the spinal cord or internal organs. Therefore, scoliosis should be corrected as soon as possible to prevent scoliosis from worsening.

[0003] However, the current scoliosis correction device is formed by a hard brace, which severely limits the body's activity when worn, has poor comfort, and is difficult to adhere to use. Even if it can temporarily correct scoliosis when applied, the scoliosis will recover again after the scoliosis correction device is removed. Maintaining the daily life adjustment and correction of scoliosis has become a problem for users with scoliosis.

[0004] As disclosed in Chinese Patent 202210052601.1, a scoliosis orthopedic brace, the support force for the concave side of the body can be adjusted according to the changes in the body structure, thereby ensuring effective support for the concave side of the body and ensuring the correction effect. A number of vertical support adjustment mechanisms can swing to the front of the body by a certain angle during use, thereby facilitating the user to bend forward to a certain extent, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0055] Elastic strain sensor 14 is built in the body of the body suit 10 and is in contact with the user's shoulder and the middle of the back, which is used to measure the force on this part, so as to accurately see the curvature and torsion of the spine, and to facilitate the subsequent correction of the visualization effect, in addition, the situation of the spine can also be understood through X-ray and other ways, the body suit is built in multiple elastic strain sensors 14 in the user's shoulder and the middle of the back, the elastic strain sensor 14 can measure the movement and posture of each part of the body, the model of the elastic strain sensor 14 is RH-ESSB-01. The elastic strain sensor 14 is also connected to the information collection box 15 through the signal line, the sensor transmits the signal to the information collection box 15, and can be connected to the application program on the smart phone or computer through Bluetooth, to provide real-time biofeedback and suggestions to the user.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] As shown in Figures 5-9 different from embodiment 1, it further comprises an air bag group, which is connected inside the chest correction section and is in contact with the user's back, and is kept on the same side and same height as the convex position of the spine, and the tangential torsion of the spine generated by the inflation and deflation of the air bag group changes the position and curvature of the spine.

[0058] In this embodiment, the air bag group comprises multiple air bags 241 distributed in parallel above and below and at the same height as the convex segment of the spine, and each air bag 241 is inflated to provide different forces, and is adjusted synchronously according to the shape of the convex segment of the spine.

[0059] In this embodiment, the air bag 241 is connected to the inflation structure through the inflation pipe 243, and the inflation structure communicates information with the information collection box 15 and automatically adjusts according to the force received by the elastic strain sensor 14;

[0060] Specifically, the elastic strain sensor 14 feeds back the force received to the information collection box 15, and at the same time, after the information collection box 15 receives the information, the information is transmitted to the inflation structure, and the inflation structure adjusts the inflation of the multiple air bags 241 according to the force signal fed back by the elastic strain sensor 14 in the middle of the back, so as to realize the orthopedic effect.

The obliquely distributed elastic band 27 passes around the thoracolumbar from back to front through the axillary and is connected to the waist-in segment 22 by a magic tape. The elastic force of the elastic band 27 increases the rotating force on the costal carina, and then drives the apex vertebra of the laterally curved spine to reset to the physiological position.

[0063] Experimental Example 1

[0064] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 This experimental example mainly aims at the orthopedic scheme of thoracic right and lumbar left type (3C) scoliosis. The orthopedic clothes 20 are made of elastic fabric and cover the close-fitting one-piece clothes 10, having a fixed segment 21, a waist-in segment 22, a shoulder-pulling segment 23, a chest-pressing segment 24, and a thoracolumbar segment 25.

[0065] The fixed segment 21 is wrapped around the right thigh and fixed by a magic tape. The starting point and the ending point of the waist-in segment 22 are pasted to the fixed segment 21 by a magic tape. The middle region of the waist-in segment 22 locally pressurizes the left lumbar side protrusion by the pressure generated by the elastic fabric, and twists the left lumbar to the right front direction by external force.

[0066] The shoulder-pulling segment 23 covers the right shoulder at a high position, and corrects the bad posture of high and low shoulders and internal rotation of shoulders by pulling force. The middle segment of the chest-pressing segment 24 covers the right thoracic vertebra lateral bending, and the two sides have different widths, wherein the wide side respectively presses the other narrow side and connects part of the waist-in segment 22. The thoracolumbar segment 25 is tightened to concentrate pressure on the thoracic lateral bending. The right thoracic lateral protrusion is locally pressurized by the pressure generated by the elastic fabric, and the right chest is twisted to the left rear direction by external force.

[0067] The thoracolumbar segment 25 connects the chest-pressing segment 24 and the waist-in segment 22, and further strengthens the orthopedic pressure on the thoracolumbar. The forward shoulder is pulled backward by shoulder force, the tilted pelvis is lifted by lifting force, and the laterally curved thoracolumbar is locally pressurized by the pressure generated by the elastic fabric. The laterally curved thoracolumbar is twisted to the opposite side by external force, and the orthopedic correction of thoracic right and lumbar left type (3C) scoliosis is completed.

[0068] In this embodiment, the positions of the mutual connection and fixation of the above-mentioned segments need to be appropriately adjusted by a doctor or a therapist according to the body type of the user and the degree of scoliosis, by a magic tape, to achieve the best pulling state, so as to better adjust the overall body posture.

[0069] Experimental Example 2

[0070] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4The present experimental example is mainly aimed at the orthopedic scheme for thoracolumbar right curvature (N4) scoliosis. The scoliosis activity suit orthopedic garment 20 is made of elastic fabric and formed on the body wrap part 10, having a fixed segment 21, a waist gathering segment 22, a shoulder pulling segment 23, a chest pressing segment 24 and a hip pulling segment 26.

[0071] The fixed segment 21 is wrapped around the right thigh and fixed by using a magic tape. The middle region of the waist gathering segment 22 is overlaid on the left waist segment of the user, and the starting point and the ending point are pasted on the fixed segment 21 by using a magic tape. The waist gathering segment 22 and the fixed segment 21 form balanced force to maintain the normal position of the lumbar vertebrae.

[0072] The shoulder pulling segment 23 is overlaid on the right shoulder at a high position, and the high and low shoulders and the internal rotation of the user are corrected by using the pulling force.

[0073] The middle segment of the chest pressing segment 24 is overlaid on the right thoracolumbar scoliosis, and the widths of the two sides are not the same. The wide side presses the other narrow side respectively, and is connected with part of the waist gathering segment 22. The chest and lumbar segments 25 are tightened, the pressure is concentrated on the thoracic scoliosis, the right thoracolumbar scoliosis is locally pressurized by the pressure generated by the elastic fabric, and the right thoracolumbar part is twisted to the left and rear direction by using external force.

[0074] The thoracolumbar right curvature (N4) scoliosis often appears left high and right low of the hip. The two ends of the hip pulling segment 26 are fixed on the chest pressing segment 24 and the fixed segment 21 respectively, and the right hip is lifted by using the pulling force generated by the elastic fabric, so as to balance the horizontal position between the pelvis.

[0075] The positions of the fixed segments of the above segments need to be adjusted by a doctor or a therapist according to the body shape of the user and the degree of scoliosis by using a magic tape, so as to achieve the best pulling force state, and better adjust the body shape of the user.

[0076] Experimental example 3

[0077] Reference Figures 5-9 The present experimental example is mainly aimed at the orthopedic scheme for thoracolumbar right curvature (N4) scoliosis. The present experimental example is mainly aimed at the orthopedic scheme for thoracolumbar right curvature (N4) scoliosis. The present experimental example is mainly aimed at the orthopedic scheme for thoracolumbar right curvature (N4) scoliosis.

[0078] In the present experimental example, the chest pressing segment 24 is designed with an internal air bag group. The air bag group is connected inside the thoracic correction segment and adheres to the back of the user, and maintains the same side and same height as the convex position of the spine. The air bag group generates a tangential torsion force on the spine by inflation and deflation, changes the position and curvature of the spine, and increases the pressure on the force point 244 of the thoracic rib margin by the air bag 241, so as to promote the reset of the coronal plane rotation of the scoliosis.

[0079] The air bag group comprises a plurality of air bags 241 arranged in parallel on the upper and lower sides and at the same height as the convex segment of the spine, each air bag 241 being connected to an inflation hole 242 through an inflation tube 243, the inflation hole 242 being connected to an inflation pump, the inflation hole 242 being divided into a plurality of channels and each air bag 241 being inflated through a respective inflation tube 243. The inflation tubes 243 are connected to different air bags 241, and the inflation hole 242 is provided with different channels to achieve the function of simultaneously or separately inflating or deflating different air bags 241, thereby adjusting the force of the air bags 241.

[0080] As shown in Figure 9 , the air bags 241 and the inflation pressure in the air bags 241 at the corresponding positions can be adjusted as needed during use. The air bag 241 inflation system is convenient and easy to use, and can achieve rapid inflation and deflation. When the air bag 241 is placed in a specific position, the pressure generated by inflation close to the rib bones changes the posture of the body and the curvature of the rib bones, and then changes the position and curvature of the spine. By inflating or deflating different air bags 241, the angle and height of the support can be adjusted to meet the needs in different disease conditions.

[0081] Specifically, by arranging a plurality of air bags 241 in parallel with the convex segment of the spine at the same height, the convex segment of the spine can be simultaneously pressed, and greater force can be applied at the maximum protruding position, while smaller force can be applied at the smaller protruding position, thereby balancing the adjustment effect and achieving better correction.

[0082] The elastic band 27 starts at the air bag 241 on the back, one horizontally and the other obliquely to the opposite hip, and is fixed from back to front through the right armpit to the left armpit and the left hip, respectively. The elastic force of the elastic band 27 increases the rotation force on the rib hump, which in turn drives the apex of the laterally bent spine to the physiological position.

[0083] The above-mentioned parts are connected to each other to create new muscle memory by using the natural torque mode of the body.

[0084] The chest compression segment 24 has different widths on both sides, with the wide side pressing against the narrow side of the other segment, respectively, and connecting the partial waist-in segment 22, so that each part is connected and wrapped around the two sides of the body. The chest and waist segment 25 is tightened to concentrate the pressure on the lateral curvature of the thoracic vertebrae. The apex of the lateral curvature segment of the spine is evaluated by the elastic strain sensor 14 or X-ray film (X-ray film evaluation is more accurate), and a horizontal line is drawn along the center of the apex vertebra and a vertical line is drawn along the inferior angle of the scapula, respectively, and the intersection of the two straight lines is the action point 244 of the force (the positioning of the action point is shown in Figure 8 ). The action point of the air bag 241 is positioned in combination with the results of the physical examination (razor back examination).

[0085] According to the positioning results, the corresponding position of the air bag 241 is inflated, and under the action of the pressure of the chest compression section 24, the pressure generated by the inflation of the air bag 241 that is tightly attached to the ribs changes the posture of the body and the curvature of the ribs, and then changes the position and curvature of the spine. The position and inflation amount of the air bag 241 can be adjusted at any time according to the evaluation results of the doctor, so as to adjust the local pressure.

[0086] Further, the elastic band 27 is fixed at the air bag 241 behind the chest compression section 24 by magic tape, one horizontal direction and the other oblique direction to the opposite hip, and is fixed from back to front through the right armpit to the left armpit and the left hip, respectively. While the air bag 241 increases the pressure on the costal process, the elastic band 27 increases the rotation of the costal process, and then drives the apex of the laterally bent spine to the physiological position.

[0087] The positions of the above-mentioned sections fixed to each other need to be adjusted by a doctor or a therapist according to the body type of the user and the degree of scoliosis, using magic tape, to achieve the best tension state, so as to better adjust the overall body posture.

[0088] The orthopedic clothes 20 correct the lateral curvature of the spine in the coronal plane by the principle of biomechanics; for the rotation deformity of the thoracic vertebrae and thoracic cavity in the horizontal plane, the pressure air bag 241 needs to be lined in the orthopedic clothes 20, and after the air bag 241 is inflated, the pressure from back to front is formed at the costal process of the thoracic vertebrae and the ribs, and the rotation deformity is corrected; the elastic strain sensor 14 placed on the back of the spine can sense the pulling force formed by the lateral spine, monitor the contraction force of the weak side chain muscle in real time, guide the continuous contraction of the weak side chain muscle, and correct the imbalance of the muscle strength on both sides of the spine.

[0089] In summary, the present application aims to simulate the effect of resistance training on the spine by setting the orthopedic suit, which helps the brain to re-release the muscle activity signal, activates the surrounding muscles in the spine during walking, and makes them re-coordinate, so that the spine can restore normal physiological curve. Unlike the traditional scoliosis hard brace that usually limits natural movement, the orthopedic suit is comfortable and not limited. It can be worn inside the clothes all day long, and it is close-fitting and elastic. Not only is it much more comfortable than the standard scoliosis brace, but it is also more effective. The orthopedic suit does not limit normal activities, and only needs to be worn for a few hours a day to improve function and reduce pain, achieve daily life adjustment and correction exercise of scoliosis. The close-fitting jumpsuit 10 is easy to wear, and the built-in elastic strain sensor 14 can accurately measure the curvature and torsion of the spine. Based on the data and information of the elastic strain sensor 14, the orthopedic clothes 20 can be customized, adjusted and improved according to the different needs and conditions of the wearer, and the treatment effect is improved.

[0090] The above description is an explanation of the present application, not a limitation of the present application, the scope of the present application is defined in the claims, within the protection scope of the present application, any form of modification can be made.
