[0030] Based on the data analysis results, the controller 20 sends a command to the air actuator 7, and the air actuator starts to deliver air to each solenoid valve 9 through the delivery pipe 8. For the part of the spine that needs to be corrected, the corresponding solenoid valve 9 opens, and the air enters the airbag 11 through the connecting pipe 10.

[0035] Working principle of the present invention:

[0036] The present invention is an AIS correction therapy suit. When the device is in use, after the patient takes the AIS correction therapy suit, a zipper 14 is provided on one side of the therapy suit body 1. The zipper 14 is arranged at the overall waist position. The patient can easily put on the therapy suit body 1 by unzipping the zipper 14. The elastic webbing 13 on the outside can be adaptively adjusted to a certain extent according to the patient's body shape. After wearing it, the patient can feel the moderate restraint provided by the elastic webbing 13, which helps the therapy suit to better fit the body without causing excessive pressure. The fitting layer 12 on the inner side of the therapy suit body 1 is made of bamboo fiber blended fabric. When in contact with the skin, the good moisture absorption, air permeability and antibacterial properties of bamboo fiber can make the patient feel comfortable and reduce the discomfort that may be caused by long-term wearing.

[0037] The patient finds the power module 21 located on one side of the physiotherapy suit body 1, and after ensuring that it is fully charged, turns on the physiotherapy suit through the controller 20. The power module 21 provides power support for the operation of the entire physiotherapy suit to ensure the normal operation of each functional component. The acceleration sensor 17, gyroscope 18 and pressure sensor 19 fixed on one side of the physiotherapy suit body 1 start to work. The acceleration sensor 17 senses the acceleration changes of the patient's body in different directions in real time to determine the patient's current motion state, such as stillness, walking, and bending. The gyroscope 18 accurately measures the rotation angle of the spine and provides real-time feedback on the dynamic changes of the scoliosis angle. The pressure sensor 19 monitors the pressure of the airbag 11 and the contact part between the physiotherapy suit body 1 and the body to ensure that the pressure is within a safe and effective range.

[0038] The data collected by the acceleration sensor 17, the gyroscope 18 and the pressure sensor 19 are transmitted to the controller 20 in real time. The controller 20 analyzes and processes a large amount of data, compares the current state of the spine with the preset normal parameters, and determines the degree and direction of scoliosis and the influence of body posture on the spine, providing a basis for subsequent correction and physical therapy adjustment. The model of the acceleration sensor 17 is the MPU6050 acceleration sensor; the model of the gyroscope 18 is the AIS328DQTR gyroscope; the model of the pressure sensor 19 is the MPX5700 pressure sensor; the model of the controller 20 is the STM32F103C8T6 controller, all of which belong to the prior art and are not described in detail in this technical solution.

[0039] The outer electromagnetic soft metal fabric 3 and the inner electromagnetic soft metal fabric 5 in the correction support mechanism can generate a magnetic field and change their own stiffness characteristics when powered on. According to the data analyzed by the controller, when it is necessary to strengthen the support of a certain part of the spine, the outer electromagnetic soft metal fabric 3 and the inner electromagnetic soft metal fabric 5 in the corresponding area change the stiffness by adjusting the current size, and cooperate with the stiffness fabric 4 in the middle to provide a stable and adjustable support force for the spine, and assist the spine to gradually return to a normal position;

[0040] The controller 20 sends a command to the air actuator 7 according to the data analysis result, and the air actuator starts to deliver air to each solenoid valve 9 through the delivery pipe 8. For the part of the spine that needs to be corrected, the corresponding solenoid valve 9 opens, and the air enters the airbag 11 through the connecting pipe 10. The airbag 11 is inflated and bulges, generating targeted pressure on the scoliotic part;

[0041] The electrode sheet 15 in the mounting frame 6 emits a weak current under the control of the controller 20, which stimulates the relevant back muscles, causes muscle contraction and relaxation, enhances muscle strength, and assists spinal correction. At the same time, electrical stimulation can also promote local blood circulation and relieve muscle fatigue. The heating wire 16 is powered on and heated under the instruction of the controller 20 to apply heat to the back. The heat transfer increases the temperature of the back skin and muscles, further promotes blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and relieves muscle stiffness and pain.

[0042] The number of buttons 22 is set to three, which plays a role of three-speed adjustment. The patient can press different buttons 22 to make the controller 20 adjust the opening of the solenoid valve 9 and accurately control the pressure in the airbag 11. The controller 20 also adjusts the stimulation intensity and frequency of the electrode sheet 15. The controller 20 controls and adjusts the heating temperature of the heating wire 16 to achieve the best thermal therapy effect and realize accurate correction of the spine.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
