The control support interface 2014 structure of the motor support 201 is fixedly connected with the motor support interface-control support 2026 structure of the control support 202; and the power supply support interface 2015 structure of the motor support 201 is fixedly connected with the motor support interface-power supply support 2035 structure of the power supply support 203.

[0041] The interactive screen 1 is fixedly connected with the control support 202 through the interactive screen interface-control support 2023 structure and is fixedly connected with the power supply support 203 through the interactive screen interface-power supply support 2033 structure. The switch 4 is fixedly connected with the control support 202 through the switch interface 2024 structure. The tail baffle 5 can slide up and down in the structure formed by the tail baffle slot-control support 2025 and the tail baffle slot-power supply support 2034.

[0045] As shown in Figure 11 , the user can view the current force and trunk temperature of the patient using the smart scoliosis orthosis and set the orthotic force threshold through the interactive screen 1; when the current force of the patient is less than the orthotic force threshold for a long time, the user is reminded to adjust the orthotic force.

[0046] When the orthotic force needs to be adjusted, the application reminds the user through the interactive screen 1, at this time the user and the patient cannot be the same person, and the patient should correctly wear the smart scoliosis orthosis. The information displayed on the interactive screen 1 will guide the user to set the correct adjustment program, and complete the orthotic force connector 303 and the orthotic force hinge docking of the smart scoliosis orthosis.

The orthotic force value is uploaded to the cloud through the processor and communication module on the orthosis device, and then the cloud sends the orthotic force information to the adjustment device of the application. The user needs to adjust the orthotic force threshold set in the adjustment device according to the treatment needs, and the intelligent adjuster will compare the real-time received orthotic force information with the orthotic force threshold to determine whether the orthotic force needs to be adjusted.

When

[0053]

[0054] , it is indicated that the correction force of the current correction hub meets the demand, the intelligent orthopedic device judges whether the overall force state of the patient's trunk meets the demand, if not, the intelligent adjuster guides the assistant to remove the correction force interface from the current correction force hub, and changes to dock with the next correction force hub, and repeats the above adjustment process; if the demand is met, the intelligent adjuster guides the assistant to remove the correction force interface from the current correction force hub, and completes the correction force adjustment process.

[0055] When the scoliosis orthopedic device needs to be taken off, the take-off program on the intelligent adjuster needs to be started, and the intelligent adjuster guides the user to sequentially adjust all the correction force hubs, and put all the driving lines to the loosest state, so as to facilitate the patient to take off the scoliosis orthopedic device.
