[0002] Scoliosis refers to a three-dimensional spinal deformity in which one or more segments of the spine in three-dimensional space bend sideways and may be accompanied by vertebral rotation. For adolescents, this is a health issue that requires high attention, and early intervention is critical. After scoliosis occurs, patients may have compensatory pelvic tilt, which may lead to long and short legs, and long and short legs may also cause compensatory scoliosis. Under current circumstances, when patients have long and short legs, the conventional treatment method is to add an insole to the shoes worn by the patient's short legs, or customize a corrector to support the foot and ankle joint to balance the leg length difference. However, these conventional treatment methods cannot accurately adjust the difference in long and short legs, and it is difficult to achieve combined treatment with spinal deformity. The purpose of treatment should be to correct the scoliotic deformity and prevent its further development, restore the physiological curvature of the spine to obtain a stable state, maintain trunk balance, improve the appearance of deformity, minimize the range of fusion, reduce or eliminate low back pain, and maximize the optimization and maintenance of cardiopulmonary function.

[0026] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" or "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a moldable brace device for spinal deformity, which includes an analysis module, a first preparation model and a second preparation model.

[0028] The analysis module is used to analyze the stress conditions of the patient's feet when the patient has leg length discrepancy and spinal deformity. The analysis module can also analyze the tilt of the upper body axis when the patient has leg length discrepancy and spinal deformity. Specifically, by observing the patient's imaging data, it is determined whether the patient has spinal deformity, and then the patient's walking state is observed to determine whether the patient has a limp when walking. If the patient has spinal deformity and leg length discrepancy, the analysis module is used to analyze the stress conditions of the patient's feet. At the same time, the analysis module can also analyze the tilt of the patient's upper body axis. When analyzing the condition of the patient's upper body axis, the cobb angle is generally measured. The cobb angle is a method of measuring the scoliosis angle, which is used to assess the severity of spinal deformity. Patients with a cobb angle between 20 and 45 degrees can use a brace to correct the spine, especially those adolescents who are still in the growth and development period.

[0029] The first preparation model is used to prepare a first correction brace 220 that completely fits the patient's feet when the patient has leg length discrepancy and spinal deformity, and the force difference between the patient's feet is less than the first preset value, wherein the first correction brace 220 is used to reduce the difference between the patient's leg length discrepancy, and when the patient wears the first correction brace 220, the patient's upper body is in a self-comfortable state. Since the patient's leg length discrepancy is formed over a long period of time, if the force difference between the patient's feet is greater than or equal to the first preset value, the patient's leg length discrepancy is too large, and surgical treatment is required in this state, and the conditions for conservative treatment are not met. When the force difference between the patient's feet is less than the first preset value, the first preparation model is used to prepare a first correction brace 220 that completely fits the patient's feet. When the patient wears the first correction brace 220, the difference between the patient's long and short legs cannot be completely compensated at one time. This may cause the patient to have a resistance and affect the correction effect of the patient's long and short legs. When correcting the patient's long and short legs, the comfort of the patient's upper body is given priority, and the long and short legs of the patient are gradually corrected after multiple adjustments to the first correction brace 220. By using the first correction brace 220, the first correction brace 220 compensates for the difference between the patient's long and short legs, reduces the mechanical impact on the imbalance of the spine and hip joints in daily activities, and then reduces the pain in the lower back, hip joints and knees. At the same time, it helps to improve the patient's walking pattern and reduce lameness.

[0030] The second preparation model is used to prepare a second correction brace that fits the patient's upper body when the patient wears the first correction brace 220 and the inclination angle of the patient's upper body axis is less than the second preset value. The second correction brace can correct the spine of the patient's upper body. When the patient wears the second correction brace, the patient's upper body is in a state of self-comfort. Since the patient's spinal deformity is formed over a long period of time, if the inclination angle of the patient's upper body axis is greater than or equal to the second preset value, that is, the patient's cobb angle is greater than or equal to 45 degrees, the patient's spinal deformity angle is too large, and surgical treatment is required in this state, and the conditions for conservative treatment are not met. When the inclination angle of the central axis of the patient's upper body is less than the second preset value, under the premise that the patient wears the first corrective brace 220, the second preparation model is used to prepare a second corrective brace that completely fits the patient's upper body. When the patient wears the second corrective brace, the patient's spinal deformity cannot be completely corrected at one time. This situation may cause the patient to have a resistance and affect the correction effect of the patient's spinal deformity. Since the degree of spinal correction of the patient's upper body by the second corrective brace can be adjusted, when correcting the patient's spinal deformity, the comfort of the patient's upper body is mainly considered. After multiple adjustments to the second corrective brace, the patient's spinal deformity is gradually corrected.

[0031] The present invention provides a moldable brace device for spinal deformity. When a patient has leg length discrepancy and spinal deformity, the analysis module is first used to analyze the force conditions of the patient's feet. At the same time, the analysis module is used to analyze the inclination of the patient's upper body axis. When the force difference between the patient's feet is less than a first preset value, a first preparation model is used to prepare a first correction brace 220 that completely fits the patient's feet. When the patient wears the first correction brace 220, the patient's comfort is given priority to, and the patient's sense of rejection when wearing it is reduced. When the patient is in a state of wearing, the correction brace 220 is adjusted to the desired position. When the first corrective brace 220 is worn and the inclination angle of the central axis of the patient's upper body is less than the second preset value, a second corrective brace is prepared for the patient's upper body using the second preparation model. The second corrective brace can correct the patient's spine. The degree of correction of the patient's spine by the second corrective brace is adjustable, that is, the process of correcting the patient's spine is slow. In order to improve the patient's comfort, the intensity of the second corrective brace gradually changes, thereby improving the adaptability of the second corrective brace and reducing the patient's treatment cost.

[0032] In one embodiment, the analysis module includes a pressure pad 110 and an analyzer. The surface of the pressure pad 110 is made of a flexible material, specifically, the surface of the pressure pad 110 is made of rubber. When the patient stands on the pressure pad 110 barefoot, the patient's own weight can cause the pressure pad 110 to deform. By setting the surface of the pressure pad 110 as a flexible material, the patient is prevented from feeling uncomfortable when standing barefoot on the pressure pad 110. When the patient has leg length and spinal deformity, the patient's two feet share different weights, and the weight bearing capacity of the foot corresponding to the long leg is greater than that of the foot corresponding to the short leg. Then, the shapes of the depressions made by the patient's two feet on the pressure pad 110 are different. According to the depth of the depression on the surface of the pressure pad 110, it can be seen that the depth of the depression made by the foot corresponding to the long leg is greater than the depth of the depression made by the foot corresponding to the short leg. The analyzer can analyze the stress conditions of the patient's two feet according to the shape of the depression caused by the patient stepping on the pressure pad 110. The analyzer includes multiple force sensors and a simulator. The multiple force sensors are evenly arranged on the pressure pad 110. When the patient stands on the surface of the pressure pad 110, the force sensors directly below the patient can change data. The simulator can simulate the patient's foot force line analysis diagram 230 according to the data of the multiple force sensors. According to the patient's foot force line analysis diagram 230 and the data of the multiple force sensors, the stress conditions of the patient's feet can be clearly determined. When the force difference between the patient's feet is greater than or equal to the first preset value, the patient's leg length difference is too large. In this state, surgical treatment is required and conservative treatment is not available. On the contrary, when the force difference between the patient's feet is less than the first preset value, the first preparation model is used to prepare a first corrective brace 220 that fully fits the patient's feet.

[0033] In one embodiment, the first prepared model includes a first shaping medium 130 and two first model frames 120. Silicone is arranged in the first model frame 120. The first model frame 120 has a placement opening with an opening facing upward. The silicone and the patient's feet can be placed in the first model frame 120 through the placement opening. When the patient is placed in the first model frame 120, silicone already exists in the first model frame 120. The patient's two feet can be placed in the two first model frames 120 at the same time. Moreover, the patient is in a standing state. Under the action of the patient's own weight, the silicone in each first model frame 120 can be deformed. After a preset time period, the patient pulls his feet out of the first model frame 120, and the silicone forms a foot contour in the first model frame 120. When the patient pulls out of the first model frame 120, the patient needs to be in a state where both feet are off the ground to prevent excessive squeezing of the silicone. The first shaping medium 130 can constitute a first corrective brace 220 for the foot based on the foot contour formed by silicone. Specifically, the first shaping medium 130 can form a shell that completely covers the foot, and the patient can wear the first shaping medium 130. Further, the first shaping medium 130 is a low-temperature thermoplastic material. Specifically, the material of the first shaping medium 130 is a carbon fiber material. The material of the first shaping medium 130 can also be a TPA material.

[0034] In one embodiment, the first prepared model further includes a pad 140, which is used to reduce the difference between long and short legs, and the pad 140 is arranged below the first correction brace 220 corresponding to the short leg of the patient. Specifically, due to the difference between the long and short legs of the patient, the long and short legs of the patient cannot be corrected smoothly by preparing the first correction brace 220. A pad 140 is arranged below the first correction brace 220 corresponding to the short leg of the patient, wherein the height of the pad 140 can be adjusted, thereby reducing the difference between the long and short legs of the patient.

[0035] In one embodiment, the second preparation model includes a second shaping medium and two second model frames 150, the second model frames 150 are filled with silicone, and the two second model frames 150 can move closer to or farther from each other. In a specific setting, the two second model frames 150 are initially spaced apart, and the two second model frames 150 are simultaneously set on the same guide rail 160, and the two second model frames 150 can slide along the guide rail 160 at the same time, thereby achieving the two second model frames 150 moving closer to or farther from each other. When preparing the second corrective brace, the patient stands between the two second model frames 150, and the two second model frames 150 are driven to move closer to each other until the two second model frames 150 clamp the patient, and then silicone is filled into the two model frames. After a preset time period, the two second model frames 150 are driven to move away from each other, and the silicone inside the two model frames can jointly form the upper body contour of the patient. The second shaping medium can form the second corrective brace based on the upper body contour formed by the silicone. Specifically, the second shaping medium can form a shell that completely covers the patient's upper body, and the patient can wear the second shaping medium. Further, the second shaping medium is a low-temperature thermoplastic material. Specifically, the material of the second shaping medium is a carbon fiber material. The material of the second shaping medium can also be a TPA material.

[0036] In one of the embodiments, in order to facilitate the patient to put on the second corrective brace, the second corrective brace can be cut into multiple splicing plates 180, and a tensioning member is provided between each adjacent splicing plate 180. The tensioning member can adjust the size of the gap between the two adjacent splicing plates 180. When the patient needs to put on the second corrective brace, the gap between the two adjacent splicing plates 180 is adjusted to the maximum state by adjusting the tensioning member. When the patient puts on the second corrective brace, the tensioning member is adjusted again to reduce the gap between the two adjacent splicing plates 180, thereby achieving the second corrective brace to correct the patient's spinal deformity.

[0037] In one embodiment, the tensioning member includes a pull wire 190 and a knob 210 , one end of the pull wire 190 is fixedly connected to one of the splicing plates 180 , the knob 210 is rotatably connected to an adjacent splicing plate 180 , and the other end of the pull wire 190 can be wrapped around the knob 210 . In a specific setting, a knob 210 is rotatably provided on each splicing plate 180, and a pull wire 190 is fixedly connected to each splicing plate 180, wherein a one-way ratchet gear and a reversing tooth are provided between the knob 210 and the splicing plate 180. Under the action of the one-way ratchet gear, the knob 210 can only rotate one-way on the splicing plate 180, and the reversing tooth is used to switch the direction in which the knob 210 can rotate on the splicing plate 180, so that when the patient needs to wear the second corrective brace, the gap between the two adjacent splicing plates 180 can be adjusted to the maximum state. When the patient wears the second corrective brace, the gap between the two adjacent splicing plates 180 can be reduced, and the one-way ratchet gear can prevent the gap between the two adjacent splicing plates 180 from automatically increasing when the patient wears the second corrective brace.

[0038] Furthermore, both ends of each pull wire 190 are connected to knobs 210 , and when the gap between the two splicing plates 180 is adjusted, the knobs 210 at both ends of the pull wire 190 are rotated at the same time.

[0039] In one of the embodiments, the second preparation model also includes multiple pressure sensors, at least one pressure sensor is arranged on each splicing plate 180, and each splicing plate 180 is also provided with a pressure display, which can display the data of the pressure sensor on the corresponding splicing plate 180. By adjusting the rotation force of the knob 210, the pressure detected by the pressure sensor will change, and the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor can be displayed through the pressure display. Accordingly, when adjusting the rotation angle of the knob 210, it can be adjusted according to the display data of the pressure display, so as to facilitate the regulation of the rotation angle of the knob 210.

[0040] In one embodiment, the number of turns of the knob 210 can be adjusted in combination with the patient's imaging data and the data of the pressure sensor. When correcting the patient's spinal deformity, it is necessary to combine the patient's imaging data, and a correction plan for the patient's spinal deformity can be set according to the patient's imaging data. According to the set correction plan, the patient's spine is accurately corrected.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
