Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a seat cushion for correcting scoliosis. Background Art

[0002] Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity, with an incidence rate of 2-3% among adolescents. The cause of scoliosis is still unclear, but poor posture can aggravate the progression of scoliosis. Adolescents have a large workload and spend most of their time sitting, so it is crucial to ensure that patients maintain a correct posture, or even a corrected posture. The pelvis is the foundation of the human body when sitting, and the height of the pelvis affects whether the spine is in a neutral position. Unequal pelvic heights can aggravate the degree of scoliosis. If the lower pelvis is raised, the spine will naturally be in a neutral position, or even in an overcorrected position, which is very necessary for the treatment of scoliosis in daily life. Conventional seat cushions can only provide a relatively stable pelvic neutral position and cannot adjust the height difference of the pelvis.

[0003] While corrective braces can correct scoliosis, they are expensive, costing around 10,000 yuan per set. They are bulky, costly, difficult to wear and carry, lack comfort, require prolonged and correct wear, carry a risk of skin damage, and suffer from poor user compliance. Corrective braces require prolonged and correct wear (at least 16 hours a day) to be effective and are prone to skin damage, pressure sores, and pain. However, due to the discomfort, children often wear the brace improperly, failing to correct scoliosis. Parents also have difficulty monitoring their children's correct use and duration of use. Therefore, in response to these current circumstances, there is an urgent need to develop a corrective seat cushion for scoliosis that can overcome the shortcomings of current practical applications. Summary of the Invention

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 1-Figure 3 , the adjustable supporting component includes a sheet 2, a sheet connecting elastic fabric 4 and an elastic fabric node 5; Several sheets 2 are movably provided on the base 1, elastic fabric nodes 5 are provided between the symmetrically arranged bases 1, and several sheet-connecting elastic fabrics 4 are provided between the several sheets 2 and the elastic fabric nodes 5; One end of the sheet material connected to the elastic fabric 4 is connected to the end of the corresponding sheet material 2 close to the elastic fabric node 5 , and the other end of the sheet material connected to the elastic fabric 4 is connected to the elastic fabric node 5 .

[0021] The sheet material 2 is made of medium-high hardness EVA material, and a thin cloth layer is provided on the surface of the sheet material 2.

[0022] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ends of the two parts of the base 1 that are away from each other are provided with rounded corners, and the end of the sheet 2 that is away from the sheet connection elastic fabric 4 is provided with rounded corners.

[0023] One side of the sheet material 2 is provided with a fine hook surface 6 of the Velcro, and the other side of the sheet material 2 is provided with a fine fleece surface 7 of the Velcro.

[0024] The sheet 2 is provided with a height difference mark 8 .

[0025] During the use of the seat cushion, the two parts of the base 1 are connected by an elastic fabric 3, which can be stretched and shortened; each sheet 2 is made of medium-to-high hardness EVA material, and the double-layer surface is composited with a thin layer of fabric. The end of the sheet 2 adopts a rounded corner design, and the end of each sheet 2 is sewn with an upper sheet connected to the elastic fabric 4; the version of this application is provided with twenty sheets 2, and the number of sheets 2 in different versions can be increased or decreased.

[0026] The other end of all the sheets connected to the elastic fabric 4 is sewn to the elastic fabric node 5 set on the base 1; each sheet 2 has a fine hook surface 6 sewn on one side of the Velcro, and a fine loop surface 7 sewn on the other side; and the height difference number is marked on the upper left corner of the sheet 2, and the corresponding height difference number is marked on the back of the sheet 2, with the reference position as shown in the elastic fabric 3 in the figure; When not in use, the entire device can be folded in half, like a closed book, and is small enough to be stored in a school bag or bag. When in use, the cushion device is opened, and the height difference marked on each page is different. Turning to the side with the height difference required by the user, a cushion with a height difference is unfolded. As shown in the figure, the left and right cushions form a height difference of 12mm. The left and right cushions are connected by elastic fabric 3. When in use, the distance can be shortened or expanded by pulling apart some of the elastic fabric 3. The end of each sheet 2 is in an arc shape. When the user sits on it, there is a basic transition between the left and right sides, which will not cause any discomfort. Each sheet 2 is bonded by a fine hook surface 6 and a fine loop surface 7 of Velcro. Even if the user moves while sitting on it, the shape of the cushion will not be affected. The height difference required by each user should be accurately obtained under the guidance of professionals; after the user uses the first height difference for correction for a period of time, if the height needs to be increased or decreased, the height difference can be increased or decreased directly by turning the sheet 2 left or right.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 3 Two pressure sensors 9 are respectively installed on the two parts of the base 1, and the wireless device 12 is installed at one end between the two parts.

[0028] It also includes: an infrared spotlight 10 , and the number of the infrared spotlights 10 is two, and the two infrared spotlights 10 are respectively installed on the two parts of the base 1 .

[0029] It also includes: a tilt sensor 11, which is installed on the other end between the two parts of the base 1 and is used to measure the tilt angle of the pelvis.

[0030] The wireless device 12 is provided with a button battery for supplying power to the wireless device 12 .

[0031] When the seat cushion is in use, two pressure sensors 9 and an infrared spotlight 10 are installed on each of the left and right bases 1. A tilt sensor 11 is installed at one end of the middle of the left and right bases 1; a wireless device 12 is installed at the other end of the middle of the base 1. Pressure sensors 9 and tilt sensors 11 are added to the left and right sides of the base 1 to monitor the user's sitting posture, pelvic status and usage time in real time. The data is transmitted wirelessly to the supporting APP through the wireless device 12 (powered by a button battery) in the middle of the base 1 to provide feedback to doctors and parents; an infrared spotlight 10 is installed in the middle of the base 1. Using the vertical line formed by the infrared spotlight 10 as a reference, the user can directly observe whether his or her spine is in the correct position, which increases the possibility of self-correction and also makes it easier for parents or guardians to supervise their children's sitting posture.

[0032] In summary, the height-adjustable design of the present application allows the seat cushion to be individually adjusted to the specific needs of the user, ensuring that the pelvis is properly supported, thereby promoting the natural alignment of the spine. This manual adjustment mechanism is simple and easy to operate, making it suitable for use in a home environment.

[0033] By integrating a pressure sensor 9 for detecting pressure distribution on the seat cushion and a tilt sensor 11 for measuring the tilt angle of the pelvis, the system can monitor the user's sitting posture, pelvic condition, and usage duration in real time. The data collected by the sensors is processed by a microprocessor and transmitted to a companion app via wireless communication. When an anomaly is detected, an alarm is issued or the user is reminded to adjust their sitting posture. This not only provides instant feedback to the user but also provides valuable data support to medical professionals, facilitating remote monitoring and guiding the treatment process.

[0034] Furthermore, the app utilizes a personalized algorithm based on the user's physical parameters (height, weight, gender, and age) and the degree of scoliosis (Cobb angle). Drawing on biomechanical principles and clinical experience, the software within the app creates a mathematical model to calculate the optimal seat cushion height configuration and prompts the user to make adjustments. This personalized approach improves the accuracy and efficiency of the correction.

[0035] By installing an infrared spotlight 10 between the left and right bases 1 and using the vertical line formed by the infrared spotlight 10 as a reference, the user can directly observe whether his or her spine is in the correct position, which increases the possibility of self-correction and also makes it easier for parents or guardians to monitor the child's sitting posture.

[0036] Sheet 2 is made of medium-to-high hardness EVA material to ensure sufficient support, and the outer surface is covered with a thin layer of cloth, which is breathable, antibacterial and improves comfort; at the same time, the rounded edge treatment reduces the risk of injury caused by collision.

[0037] At the same time, considering the needs of daily carrying, the product is made of lightweight materials for easy carrying; and the simple and clear operation interface makes it easy for both children and adults to master the use method, enhancing the practicality and popularity of the product.
