Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of scoliosis correction devices, and particularly relates to a three-dimensional scoliosis correction device based on adaptive elastic support. Background Art

[0002] Scoliosis is a common spinal deformity disease, also known as spinal curvature, mainly manifested as the spinal column deviating laterally to one side, making the back present a C-shaped or S-shaped curve. When the spinal X-ray film shows a lateral curvature of the spinal column greater than 10°, it can be diagnosed as scoliosis. This disease is prone to occur in adolescence, and the symptoms gradually intensify with age. In severe cases, it affects respiratory and cardiac functions, and even leads to spinal cord compression and paralysis. The causes of scoliosis are relatively complex, and the causes of various types of scoliosis are different. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to carry out timely and effective correction and treatment for scoliosis. At present, the correction methods for scoliosis mainly include non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment. For patients with mild conditions and small scoliosis angles, non-surgical treatment means are usually adopted. Among them, the scoliosis correction device is one of the most widely used methods, mainly applying external pressure and support force to the spinal column to limit the abnormal curvature of the spinal column, so as to achieve the purpose of correction. In the prior art, the scoliosis correction devices that are easy to wear usually can only correct the patient unidirectionally, that is, the curved part of the spinal column is pulled in one direction through an elastic member, and the elastic support force is difficult to accurately control, and it cannot be adjusted in real time and dynamically according to the specific degree, location of the patient's scoliosis and the body activity conditions. On the other hand, most of the existing correction devices can only achieve correction in a two-dimensional plane, that is, mainly correct the curvature of the spinal column in the coronal plane (left-right direction) and the sagittal plane (front-back direction), and lack effective correction means for the abnormal torsion of the spinal column in the horizontal plane (rotation direction). Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity, and only two-dimensional correction cannot comprehensively and effectively solve the scoliosis problem and is difficult to achieve an ideal correction effect. For this reason, the present invention proposes a three-dimensional scoliosis correction device based on adaptive elastic support. Summary of the Invention

Each adaptive elastic support unit 4 includes a hollow housing 5 and an expansion column 6 located inside the housing 5. Both the housing 5 and the expansion column 6 are semi-circular and are respectively fixedly connected to the force-assisted adhesive tape 2 and the spinal adhesive tape 1. A displacement seat 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 5 and the top surface of the expansion column 6, and a telescopic rod 8 is connected between the two displacement seats 7. An elastic member 9 is sleeved on the surface of the telescopic rod 8; The driving member includes a spherical roller 12 and a motor driving structure.
