Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary treatment equipment, in particular to an auxiliary fixator for treating lumbar disc herniation. Background Art

[0002] Lumbar disc herniation is a common spinal disease, mainly due to degeneration and injury of the lumbar disc, which causes the nucleus pulposus of the disc to protrude, compressing the surrounding nerve tissue, causing symptoms such as low back pain, radiating pain in the lower limbs, numbness, and weakness, seriously affecting the patient's quality of life and daily activity ability. During daily life and rehabilitation training, the patient's lumbar spine needs additional support and stability through auxiliary fixators to reduce the pressure on the intervertebral disc and avoid further damage to the intervertebral disc due to excessive lumbar activity.

[0003] Traditional fixators often only provide simple waist restraint, lack the function of monitoring the force on the waist, and cannot accurately adapt to the physiological curves and force characteristics of the waist of different patients, resulting in poor support effects. Doctors can only judge the condition based on experience and the patient's subjective description. The lack of objective data support affects the accurate evaluation of the treatment effect, and makes it inconvenient to formulate a more scientific and reasonable treatment plan. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an auxiliary fixator for treating lumbar disc herniation, which solves the problem that the lumbar fixator is not convenient to better reflect the stress condition of the patient's lumbar spine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: an auxiliary fixator for treating lumbar disc herniation, comprising a fixing sleeve, the fixing sleeve being in a surrounding and wrapped shape as a whole, one end of the fixing sleeve being fixedly connected to an adhesion pad 1, the inner end of the adhesion pad 1 being adhered to the outer side of the other end of the fixing sleeve through a Velcro fur surface and a thorny surface, a reinforcement component being installed at the outer end of the adhesion pad 1, a lumbar collar being fixedly connected to the middle part of the inner end of the fixing sleeve, force-bearing components being evenly distributed on the inner wall of the lumbar collar, a data acquisition and processing module and a Bluetooth wireless transmission module being arranged on the side of the lumbar collar away from the lumbar spine, and warming components being installed on both the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the fixing sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, the reinforcement component includes a fixing belt fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the adhesion pad one, the other end of the fixing belt is fixedly connected to at least one elastic reinforcement belt, the other end of the elastic reinforcement belt is fixedly connected to the adhesion pad two, and the inner end of the adhesion pad two is adhered to the outer wall surface of the adhesion pad one through the Velcro fur surface and the thorny surface.

[0007] Preferably, an elastic sleeve is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the first adhesion pad, and the inner wall of the elastic sleeve is sleeved on the outer wall of the elastic reinforcement belt close to one end of the second adhesion pad.

[0008] Preferably, the force-bearing component includes at least two silicone force-bearing balls fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lumbar collar, the inner wall of the silicone force-bearing ball is fixedly connected to a memory foam pad on the side facing the lumbar spine, the silicone force-bearing ball is fixedly connected to a force sensor on the side away from the lumbar spine, and at least two or more force-bearing balls are evenly installed on the contact surface between the force sensor and the memory foam pad.

[0009] Preferably, the electrical signals between the force sensors are transmitted and connected via the inner wall of the lumbar collar, and the force sensors are connected to an external monitoring terminal via a wireless transmission module, and the wireless transmission module selects a Bluetooth signal connection.

[0010] Preferably, a shaping ring is fixedly connected to the middle portion of the inner wall of the fixing sleeve, and the shaping ring is used to ensure that the fixator fits the patient's lumbar spine.

[0011] Preferably, the warming component includes at least two heating pads fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the fixed sleeve, and the input end of the rear heating pad is fixedly connected to a power transmission interface, and the rear end of the power transmission interface passes through the outer wall of the fixed sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, adjacent heating pads are connected via a transmission line, and the inner wall of the transmission line is fixed to the inner wall of the fixing sleeve.

[0013] Working principle: First, the patient wraps the fixation sleeve around the lumbar spine, and fits the adhesion pad 1 to the adhesion surface of the fixation sleeve together, then the elastic reinforcement belt is wrapped around the outer wall of the fixation sleeve once to the other side of the adhesion pad 1, and the adhesion pad 2 is passed through the elastic sleeve and pasted to the left side of the outer wall of the adhesion pad 1. Because the elastic sleeve has a certain elasticity, the size of the adhesion pad 2 is smaller than the elastic sleeve in the natural contraction state. The silicone sleeve is fixed under the dual limit of the adhesive surface and the elastic sleeve, and then the patient will normally wear the fixation sleeve to fit the lumbar spine for activities. The pressure generated by various activities of the waist first acts on the silicone sleeve that is directly in contact with the lumbar spine. The force ball is put on the outside, and the change of the pressure of the lumbar spine on the silicone force ball will cause the internal memory foam to undergo elastic deformation. The force sensor close to the memory foam will sense the deformation of the memory foam. The force sensor is a piezoelectric film sensor. The piezoelectric film material has a piezoelectric effect. When it is deformed by the pressure transmitted by the memory foam, it will generate an electric charge proportional to the pressure, thereby converting the physical quantity of the waist force into an electrical signal. The sensors in each force ball work independently, and each converts the force at the corresponding position into an electrical signal. In this way, the preliminary perception and signal conversion of the force conditions at different positions of the waist are realized, and multiple The electrical signals generated by each force sensor are transmitted to the lumbar collar through the lines connected to each of them. The interior of the lumbar collar is made of flexible printed circuit board material, and its surface is customized with a conductive line pattern, which can accurately collect the signals of each force sensor. After the data acquisition and processing module of the lumbar collar receives the electrical signals from each force sensor, it amplifies the signal. Since the initial electrical signal generated by the sensor is usually weak, the amplified signal is easier to process and transmit later. Then the data acquisition and processing module filters the signal to remove the noise signal generated by environmental interference, human movement, etc., improve the quality and accuracy of the signal, and make the signal more accurately reflect the actual force situation of the waist. The pre-processed signal is transmitted to the Bluetooth wireless transmission module built into the auxiliary fixator. The Bluetooth module encodes and modulates the digital signal with a specific wireless protocol, and then sends it out through the antenna. The doctor receives the decoded signal data through the APP on the mobile phone and further processes it. When the patient needs to keep warm, the internal heating pad of the fixation sleeve is started through the external power transmission interface, and the power is transmitted between the heating pads through the transmission line, so that the entire fixation sleeve emits heat, thereby ensuring the warming effect of the patient's lumbar spine.

[0014] The present invention provides an auxiliary fixator for treating lumbar disc herniation. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The present invention sets a silicone stress-bearing ball, and the memory sponge and piezoelectric film sensor inside it work together. When the patient's waist moves, the pressure is transmitted to the memory sponge through the silicone sleeve, causing it to produce elastic deformation corresponding to the pressure, thereby triggering the piezoelectric film sensor to generate an electric charge proportional to the pressure, accurately converting the force at different positions of the waist into an electrical signal, and transmitting the signal to an external monitoring terminal through a wireless transmission module, so that the doctor can monitor the patient's lumbar spine stress information in real time, helping the doctor to dynamically track the patient's disease progression, thereby judging whether the treatment plan is effective, adjusting the treatment strategy in time, and ensuring the correctness of the treatment direction.

[0016] 2. The present invention activates the internal heating pad of the fixing sleeve through an external power transmission interface, and power is transmitted between the heating pads through the transmission line, so that the entire fixing sleeve evenly dissipates heat, provides warmth for the patient's lumbar spine, alleviates the discomfort symptoms that may be caused by cold waist of the patient to a certain extent, and improves the treatment experience.

[0017] 3. The present invention adopts the design of the fixing sleeve, the adhesive pad, the elastic reinforcement belt and the elastic sleeve, so that the patient can simply wrap the fixator at the lumbar spine and achieve a stable fixation by means of the fitting and adhesion between the components, thereby ensuring that the fixator will not be easily displaced when the patient moves, and can also use the elastic components to adapt to different body shapes and changes in the body during activities, ensuring comfort and stability of wearing.
