[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to a scoliosis orthosis and a scoliosis detection system suitable for the scoliosis orthosis. Background Art

[0002] Scoliosis braces are used to treat patients with scoliosis. By wearing the scoliosis brace for a long time, the corrective force generated by the scoliosis brace toward the midline of the scoliosis brace can gradually return the patient's spine to the midline position of the human body, thereby achieving the corrective effect of the scoliosis brace.

[0003] In the related art, since patients need to wear scoliosis braces for a long time, and the spine needs to gradually change from a scoliotic state to a healthy state, during this process, the curvature of the spine will gradually change. The existing scoliosis braces are made in a yin-yang mold method to ensure that the scoliosis brace matches the initial curvature of the patient's spine. When the curvature of the spine changes, the correction force and force direction of the existing scoliosis brace do not meet the correction needs, resulting in patients needing to frequently replace the scoliosis brace as a whole, resulting in high costs for scoliosis correction treatment.

[0034] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application discloses a scoliosis orthosis 100, which is used for corrective treatment of scoliosis in the human body. Specifically, the patient can wear the scoliosis orthosis 100 on the outside of the body, and the scoliosis orthosis 100 continuously provides corrective force to the spine, so that the spine is gradually corrected to a healthy state.

[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a scoliosis brace 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes: multiple flexible wrapping bodies 1 and a correction belt 3. The multiple flexible wrapping bodies 1 are sequentially connected and matched along the height direction, and the multiple flexible wrapping bodies 1 are combined to form the main structure of the scoliosis brace 100. The flexible wrapping bodies 1 are wrapped around the outside of the body. The shape of the flexible wrapping bodies 1 can match the patient's body shape, and each flexible wrapping body 1 can be provided with a slit to facilitate the patient's wearing. At the same time, the flexible wrapping bodies 1 are constructed as flexible parts, that is, the flexible wrapping bodies 1 can be deformed to ensure that they fit the patient's body.

[0037] Preferably, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the scoliosis brace 100 can be provided with three flexible encapsulating bodies 1. The uppermost flexible encapsulating body 1 corresponds to the patient's T1-T6 vertebrae, that is, corresponds to the area from the upper edge of the patient's scapula to the middle of the thorax. The middle flexible encapsulating body 1 corresponds to the patient's T7-L2 vertebrae, that is, corresponds to the area from the lower thorax to the upper lumbar spine. The lowermost flexible encapsulating body 1 corresponds to the patient's L3-S1 vertebrae, and the lower flexible encapsulating body 1 can also correspond to part of the patient's pelvic area. By cooperating with the three flexible encapsulating bodies 1, coverage of the patient's spinal region can be achieved.

[0038] Furthermore, a connecting structure 2 is provided between at least two adjacent flexible enveloping bodies 1. For example, when the scoliosis orthosis 100 is provided with three flexible enveloping bodies 1, a connecting structure 2 is provided between the uppermost flexible enveloping body 1 and the middle flexible enveloping body 1, or a connecting structure 2 is provided between the lowermost flexible enveloping body 1 and the middle flexible enveloping body 1, or Figure 5In the illustrated embodiment, a connecting structure 2 is provided between the uppermost flexible enveloping body 1 and the middle flexible enveloping body 1 , and between the lowermost flexible enveloping body 1 and the middle flexible enveloping body 1 .

[0039] The connection structure 2 includes a first connection portion 21 and a second connection portion 22 connected to each other. The two adjacent flexible enclosures 1 provided with the connection structure 2 are respectively the first flexible enclosure 11 and the second flexible enclosure 12. The first flexible enclosure 11 is provided with the first connection portion 21, and the second flexible enclosure 12 is provided with the second connection portion 22. Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, for the convenience of description, the present application will be described below with the flexible enclosing body 1 located on the uppermost side as the first flexible enclosing body 11 and the flexible enclosing body 1 located in the middle as the second flexible enclosing body 12 .

[0040] The first connecting portion 21 protrudes toward the second flexible enveloping body 12, and the second connecting portion 22 protrudes toward the first flexible enveloping body 11. The first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 are arranged in an alternating pattern along the circumference of the scoliosis brace 100. By staggering the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22, when the patient turns, the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 are connected to each other and engage with each other, thereby limiting the rotation of the first flexible enveloping body 11 relative to the second flexible enveloping body 12. This can minimize the possibility of separation of the first flexible enveloping body 11 and the second flexible enveloping body 12, which could result in the loss of the corrective effect of the scoliosis brace 100.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the orthopedic belt 3 is installed between the multiple flexible wrapping bodies 1. In some embodiments, the orthopedic belt 3 can be installed on the outside of the multiple flexible wrapping bodies 1. Compared with installing the orthopedic belt 3 on the inside of the multiple flexible wrapping bodies 1, this arrangement can improve the wearing comfort of the scoliosis brace 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the orthopedic belt 3 can be installed inside the multiple flexible wrapping bodies 1. This can prevent the orthopedic belt 3 from protruding outside the scoliosis brace 100, ensuring that the structure of the scoliosis brace 100 meets the design requirements.

[0042] The orthotic belt 3 is used to support the flexible wrapping body 1 toward the body's midline. It should be noted that the body's midline is the midline of the human body on the sagittal plane, running through key landmarks such as the center of the eyebrows, the tip of the nose, the center of the sternum, the navel, and the pubic symphysis, dividing the body into two mirror-symmetrical parts. The body's midline extends along the height of the scoliosis brace 100. The orthotic belt 3 supports the patient's spine through the flexible wrapping body 1, applying a corrective force to the patient's spine. After prolonged application of the corrective force toward the body's midline, the spine's scoliosis will gradually improve, leading to the patient's recovery.

[0043] When a patient wears the scoliosis orthosis 100 for a long time and the scoliosis curvature of part of the spine is reduced, for example, the scoliosis curvature of the T1-T6 vertebrae is reduced, and other spinal cones do not need to be adjusted, the medical staff can first disconnect the connection structure 2 between the uppermost flexible enclosure 1 and the middle flexible enclosure 1, replace the uppermost flexible enclosure 1, and then reconnect the connection structure 2 between the uppermost flexible enclosure 1 and the middle flexible enclosure 1, so as to achieve the technical effect of matching the uppermost flexible enclosure 1 with the patient's current spine.

[0044] Alternatively, when the flexible wrapping body 1 matches the patient and the magnitude and direction of the corrective force need to be adjusted, the medical staff can remove the unsuitable corrective belts 3 from the multiple flexible wrapping bodies 1 and replace them with suitable corrective belts 3 to install on the multiple flexible wrapping bodies 1, thereby achieving the technical effect of adjusting the magnitude and direction of the corrective force of the scoliosis brace 100. Therefore, by adopting a modular design of the scoliosis brace 100, when the spinal curvature during correction changes, the scoliosis brace 100 can be adjusted by replacing some of the flexible wrapping bodies 1 or the corrective belts 3, thereby reducing the treatment costs required to adjust the scoliosis brace 100.

[0045] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple first connection parts 21, and the multiple first connection parts 21 are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the scoliosis orthosis 100, and a first positioning groove 23 is formed between two adjacent first connection parts 21. The first positioning groove 23 is suitable for inserting the second connection part 22 to position the second connection part 22 between the two adjacent first connection parts 21. In some preferred embodiments, the groove width of the first positioning groove 23 matches the width dimension of the second connection part 22, so that the second connection part 22 can be embedded in the first positioning groove 23. Along the circumference of the scoliosis orthosis, the second connection part 22 and the two adjacent first connection parts 21 constituting the first positioning groove 23 are both stopped. The two adjacent first connection parts 21 can jointly limit the circumferential movement of the second connection part 22 along the scoliosis orthosis, thereby ensuring that the adjacent first flexible wrapping body 11 and the second flexible wrapping body 12 are not separated, thereby preventing the corrective effect of the scoliosis orthosis 100 from failing.

[0046] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5As shown, in some other embodiments of the present application, there are multiple second connecting parts 22, and the multiple second connecting parts 22 are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the scoliosis orthosis 100. A second positioning groove 24 is formed between two adjacent second connecting parts 22. The second positioning groove 24 is suitable for inserting the first connecting part 21 to position the first connecting part 21 between the two adjacent second connecting parts 22. In some preferred embodiments, the groove width of the second positioning groove 24 matches the width size of the first connecting part 21, so that the first connecting part 21 can be embedded in the second positioning groove 24. Along the circumference of the scoliosis orthosis, the first connecting part 21 and the two adjacent second connecting parts 22 constituting the second positioning groove 24 are both stopped. The two adjacent second connecting parts 22 can jointly limit the movement of the first connecting part 21 along the circumference of the scoliosis orthosis, thereby ensuring that the adjacent first flexible enveloping body 11 and the second flexible enveloping body 12 do not separate, thereby preventing the corrective effect of the scoliosis orthosis 100 from failing.

[0047] Of course, in some preferred embodiments, both the first connection portion 21 and the second connection portion 22 can be designed to be multiple. Along the circumference of the scoliosis orthosis, a second connection portion 22 is sandwiched between any two adjacent first connection portions 21, and a first connection portion 21 is sandwiched between any two adjacent second connection portions 22. By staggering the multiple first connection portions 21 and the multiple second connection portions 22, it can be further ensured that the adjacent first flexible enveloping bodies 11 and the second flexible enveloping bodies 12 are not separated.

[0048] In addition, when there are multiple first connecting parts 21 and second connecting parts 22, the structural dimensions or shapes of at least two first connecting parts 21 are different, and / or the structural dimensions or shapes of at least two second connecting parts 22 are different. This design allows the first flexible enveloping body 11 and the second flexible enveloping body 12 to be plugged into each other. Each first connecting part 21 must be inserted into the corresponding second positioning groove 24, and each second connecting part 22 must be inserted into the corresponding first positioning groove 23 to ensure that there is no excessive gap between the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22, that is, to ensure that the first flexible enveloping body 11 and the second flexible enveloping body 12 cannot be misaligned, thereby preventing the scoliosis orthosis 100 from being incorrectly connected during the assembly process.

[0049] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, in the first connecting part 21, the side wall opposite to the second connecting part 22 may be provided with a first connecting hole 25, and the first connecting hole 25 passes through the first connecting part 21 along the circumference of the scoliosis orthosis 100. In the second connecting part 22, the side wall opposite to the first connecting part 21 is provided with a second connecting hole 26, and the second connecting hole 26 passes through the second connecting part 22 along the circumference of the scoliosis orthosis 100. The first connecting hole 25 is opposite to and connected to the second connecting hole 26, and the connecting line 4 passes through the first connecting hole 25 and the second connecting hole 26 to connect the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 to each other.

[0050] Among them, along the circumference of the scoliosis orthosis 100, the connecting line 4 can form a closed loop structure connected end to end, or the two ends of the connecting line 4 are respectively fixed on the flexible wrapping body 1, and the opening of the first connecting hole 25 is provided in the slit of the first flexible wrapping body 11, and the opening of the second connecting hole 26 is provided in the slit of the second flexible wrapping body 12, and the end of the connecting line 4 can pass through the slit of the wrapping body 1 and out of the wrapping body 1.

[0051] After the connecting line 4 passes through a group of first connecting holes 25 and second connecting holes 26, the connecting line 4 and the corresponding first connecting parts 21 and second connecting parts 22 are stopped. When the first flexible enclosure 11 and the second flexible enclosure 12 tend to separate from each other, causing the first connecting holes 25 and the second connecting holes 26 to tend to be misaligned with each other, the connecting line 4 can generate resistance in the opposite direction of separation to hinder the separation of the first flexible enclosure 11 and the second flexible enclosure 12, thereby achieving the technical effect of reliably connecting the first flexible enclosure 11 and the second flexible enclosure 12 together using the connecting structure 2.

[0052] It should be noted that the connecting wire 4 can be a hard wire or a flexible wire, for example, a metal wire or a binding rope, etc., so as to ensure that the connecting wire 4 has sufficient strength and the ends of the connecting wire 4 are easy to tie and connect. Of course, in some embodiments, the connecting wire 4 can also be replaced by an annular connecting tube or connecting rod with a buckle or lock structure at the end.

[0053] According to some specific embodiments of the present application, the sidewall of the first connecting portion 21 may be provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 25 arranged at intervals, and the sidewall of the second connecting portion 22 may be provided with a plurality of second connecting holes 26 arranged at intervals. The plurality of first connecting holes 25 of the first connecting portion 21 corresponds one-to-one with the plurality of second connecting holes 26 of the adjacent second connecting portion 22 and is interconnected. A connecting wire 4 is provided in at least one connecting hole (i.e., the first connecting hole 25 or the second connecting hole 26) of each connecting portion (i.e., the first connecting portion 21 or the second connecting portion 22).

[0054] By providing multiple connection holes on the sidewalls of the connection portion, during assembly of the scoliosis brace 100, medical personnel can select an appropriate connection hole to connect the first plate connection portion and the second connection portion 22 based on the patient's body shape, etc. Furthermore, if connecting wires 4 are provided in each of the multiple connection holes, if one of the connecting wires 4 breaks, the remaining connecting wires 4 can continue to connect the first connection portion 21 and the second connection portion 22, thereby ensuring that the first flexible enveloping body 11 and the second flexible enveloping body 12 are securely connected, thereby improving the operational reliability of the scoliosis brace 100.

[0055] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting portion gradually decreases from one end of the connecting portion (i.e., the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22) close to the corresponding flexible enveloping body 1 (i.e., the first flexible enveloping body 11 and the second flexible enveloping body 12) to the direction away from the flexible enveloping body 1. It can also be understood that along the first direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first connecting portion 21 gradually decreases, and along the second direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second connecting portion 22 gradually decreases, wherein the first direction is set in the opposite direction to the second direction, and the first direction can be the direction from the end of the first connecting portion 21 close to the first flexible enveloping body 11 to the direction away from the first flexible enveloping body 11, and the second direction can be the direction from the end of the second connecting portion 22 close to the second flexible enveloping body 12 to the direction away from the second flexible enveloping body 12.

[0056] The cross-section of the connecting portion is perpendicular to the height direction of the scoliosis orthosis 100. When the first connecting portion 21 is inserted into the second positioning groove 24, the width of the end of the first connecting portion 21 near the second flexible enveloping body 12 is smaller than the width of the opening of the second positioning groove 24, making it easier for the first connecting portion 21 to be inserted into the second positioning groove 24. Similarly, when the second connecting portion 22 is inserted into the first positioning groove 23, the width of the end of the second connecting portion 22 near the first flexible enveloping body 11 is smaller than the width of the opening of the first positioning groove 23, making it easier for the second connecting portion 22 to be inserted into the first positioning groove 23.

[0057] Furthermore, by setting the side walls of the first connection part 21 and the second connection part 22 as inclined surfaces, it can be ensured that the side wall slope of the first connection part 21 matches the side wall slope of the second connection part 22, so that the first connection part 21 and the second connection part 22 can be kept in contact with each other.

[0058] The first connection portion 21 may be provided with a first limiting structure 27 at its top, and the second positioning groove 24 may be provided with a corresponding second limiting structure 28 at its bottom. Alternatively, the second connection portion 22 may be provided with a first limiting structure 27 at its top, and the first positioning groove 23 may be provided with a corresponding second limiting structure 28 at its bottom. The first limiting structure 27 and the second limiting structure 28 may cooperate in limiting positions. By means of the limiting positions of the first limiting structure 27 and the second limiting structure 28, the second connection portion 22 located in the first positioning groove 23 and / or the first connection portion 21 located in the second positioning groove 24 may be restricted from moving. This may prevent problems such as misalignment between the first flexible enveloping body 11 and the second flexible enveloping body 12, thereby preventing the corrective effect of the scoliosis brace 100 from being affected.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, one of the first limiting structure 27 and the second limiting structure 28 is configured as a limiting pin, and the other is configured as a limiting groove. For example, the first limiting structure 27 is configured as a limiting groove, and the second limiting structure 28 is configured as a limiting pin, or as Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting structure 27 can be constructed as a limiting pin, and the second limiting structure 28 can be constructed as a limiting groove. The limiting pin is inserted into the limiting groove, and the groove wall of the limiting groove can abut against the outer peripheral wall of the limiting pin to limit the radial movement of the limiting pin along the limiting groove, thereby achieving the technical effect of the limiting cooperation between the first limiting structure 27 and the second limiting structure 28.

[0060] like Figure 1-Figure 3 、 Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the orthopedic belt 3 includes a fixedly connected orthopedic belt body 31 and an orthopedic plate 32. The orthopedic belt body 31 is positioned near the body's midline along the left-right direction of the human body. Preferably, when the scoliosis orthosis 100 is provided with three flexible wrapping bodies 1, the orthopedic belt body 31 can be positioned on the flexible wrapping body 1 located in the middle. However, the present application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the orthopedic belt body 31 is positioned between the three flexible wrapping bodies 1 and can be connected to and engaged with all three flexible wrapping bodies 1 simultaneously.

[0061] And, as Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, the orthopedic belt body 31 is provided with a first mounting portion 311, and at least one flexible wrapping body 1 is correspondingly provided with a second mounting portion 13, and the first mounting portion 311 is connected and matched with the second mounting portion 13. In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 311 and the second mounting portion 13 can be constructed as mounting holes, and fasteners such as rivets or snap rings pass through the first mounting portion 311 and the second mounting portion 13 to fix the orthopedic belt body 31 to the flexible wrapping body 1.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 1-Figure 3 、 Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple orthopedic plates 32, and each flexible wrapping body 1 is connected to at least one orthopedic plate 32. In other words, multiple orthopedic plates 32 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the scoliosis orthosis 100. The orthopedic plates 32 extend from the orthopedic belt body 31 toward the scoliosis direction of the spine to be corrected, for example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, when the flexible enclosure 1 is provided in three pieces and the patient's spine is to the right (ie Figure 1 When the spine is bent to the right (in the right direction), the orthopedic plate 32 corresponding to the uppermost flexible wrapping body 1 extends to the left, and the orthopedic plate 32 is used to support the spine to the right, so that the spine is offset to the right to return to the midline of the human body.

[0063] The orthotic plate 32 corresponding to the middle flexible enclosure 1 extends rightward and supports the spine to the left, causing it to deflect to the left and return to the body's midline. The orthotic plate 32 corresponding to the bottommost flexible enclosure 1 extends leftward and supports the spine to the right, causing it to deflect to the right and return to the body's midline. The orthotic belt body 31 provides a fulcrum for the orthotic plate 32, allowing it to apply a corrective force of appropriate direction and magnitude to the flexible enclosure 1.

[0064] By cooperating with multiple orthopedic plates 32, each orthopedic plate 32 can generate a corrective force of appropriate magnitude and direction locally on the spine, achieving precise control of the spinal corrective force and gradually restoring the patient's spine to its normal physiological curvature. However, the present application is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, at least one flexible enclosure 1 is provided with multiple orthopedic plates 32. By increasing the number of orthopedic plates 32, the corrective force applied to the spine can be more evenly distributed, thereby reducing local pressure on the spine.

[0065] Furthermore, the orthopedic plate 32 may be provided with a third mounting portion 321, and the corresponding flexible enclosure 1 may be provided with a fourth mounting portion 14, with the third mounting portion 321 being coupled and mated with the fourth mounting portion 14. In some embodiments, both the third mounting portion 321 and the fourth mounting portion 14 may be configured as mounting holes, and fasteners such as rivets or snap rings may be passed through the third mounting portion 321 and the fourth mounting portion 14 to securely connect the orthopedic plate 32 to the flexible enclosure 1.

[0066] It should be noted that the location of the fourth mounting portion 14 on the flexible enclosure 1 can be set according to the patient's scoliosis condition. Specifically, the fourth mounting portion 14 corresponds to the top vertebra area of ​​the patient's scoliosis or the high stress point area on the convex side of the scoliosis. At the same time, the fourth mounting portion 14 needs to avoid the patient's sensitive anatomical area. For example, the fourth mounting portion 14 on the uppermost flexible enclosure 1 is set 2-3 cm behind the mid-axillary line to avoid friction of the scapula. The fourth mounting portion 14 of the middle flexible enclosure 1 is set close to the upper edge of the iliac crest and at least 1.5 cm away from the anterior superior iliac spine to prevent compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. In addition, patients with pelvic compensation can add a corrective belt 3 on the outside of the sacroiliac joint to correct pelvic rotation through dynamic support.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, a cushioning pad (not shown) may be provided on the inner sidewall of the flexible enveloping body 1. Preferably, the cushioning pad is provided opposite to the fourth mounting portion 14. The cushioning pad may be a sponge pad. The sponge pad compresses when squeezed, and the sponge pad has a fluffy structure, which can cushion the pressure of the flexible enveloping body 1, thereby making the scoliosis brace 100 comfortable to wear.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, on the inner surface of the flexible enclosure 1, the closer the distance between any point on the flexible enclosure 1 and the nearest fourth mounting portion 14, the greater the corresponding Shore hardness value, and the farther the distance between any point on the flexible enclosure 1 and the fourth mounting portion 14, the smaller the corresponding Shore hardness value. The Shore hardness value of the flexible enclosure 1 is not less than the first preset hardness value and not greater than the second preset hardness value.

[0069] The flexible enclosure 1 may include an inner layer formed by 3D printing using a TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) sponge. It should be noted that the Shore hardness of the TPU sponge can be adjusted by varying the ratio of its constituent materials. For example, incorporating a stretching agent (such as a plasticizer or lubricant) into the TPU sponge can reduce its Shore hardness. By adjusting the material composition ratio of the TPU sponge at different printing locations during 3D printing, the Shore hardness of the TPU sponge can be varied to adjust the local hardness of the flexible enclosure 1.

[0070] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the first preset hardness value of the flexible enclosure 1 can be 30 Shore hardness, and the second preset hardness value of the flexible enclosure 1 can be 10 Shore hardness. For example, the flexible enclosure 1 can be 10 Shore hardness when it fits the ribs or pelvis area, and the flexible enclosure 1 can be 30 Shore hardness when it is close to the fourth mounting portion 14.

[0071] The surface of the flexible enclosure 1 gradually decreases in hardness, radiating outward from the fourth mounting portion 14. By increasing the Shore hardness of the flexible enclosure 1 near the fourth mounting portion 14, the support strength of the flexible enclosure 1 near the fourth mounting portion 14 can be improved, thereby enabling the flexible enclosure 1 to provide effective support for the patient's spine. By reducing the Shore hardness of the flexible enclosure 1 near the ribs or pelvis, the patient's comfort in these areas can be improved.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the scoliosis orthosis 100 may further include: a power supply, a controller, an orthotic force detection component and a communication unit. The power supply, the orthotic force detection component and the communication unit are all electrically connected to the controller. The power supply is used to supply power to the controller. In some embodiments, the power supply may be a piezoelectric power supply. The piezoelectric power supply may be made of PVDF film and capacitors. This has been widely documented in the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0073] The orthopedic force detection component is positioned near the mounting portion. In some embodiments, the orthopedic force detection component can be a pressure sensor. The orthopedic force detection component is attached to the inner side of the flexible enclosure 1 and is used to detect the orthopedic force at the fourth mounting portion 14. The controller is used to control the communication unit to transmit an orthopedic force signal. Specifically, the controller can generate a corresponding orthopedic force signal based on the detection data from the orthopedic force detection component, and the controller can transmit the orthopedic force signal to the communication unit, which can then transmit the orthopedic force signal to the server.

[0074] Moreover, the server can obtain the correction force magnitude information after receiving the correction force magnitude signal, and the server can send the correction force magnitude information to the terminal, such as to the medical staff's mobile phone, tablet computer or other terminal. The medical staff can judge the patient's spinal correction status based on the correction force magnitude information, and thus judge whether the patient's spine is over-corrected or the correction force is insufficient. When it is determined whether the patient's spine is over-corrected or the correction force is insufficient, the medical staff can notify the patient to return for a follow-up visit to adjust the correction performance of the scoliosis brace 100, so that the correction performance of the scoliosis brace 100 can be accurately matched with the user's scoliosis status, thereby improving the correction effect of the scoliosis brace 100.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the flexible enclosure 1 may be provided with weight-reducing holes (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the flexible enclosure 1 may be provided with a plurality of weight-reducing holes, which can effectively reduce the weight of the flexible enclosure 1 while maintaining sufficient strength of the flexible enclosure 1. In some preferred embodiments, the plurality of weight-reducing holes on the flexible enclosure 1 may be arranged as a bionic honeycomb hollow structure, and the porosity of the bionic honeycomb hollow structure may be designed to be 40%. Furthermore, the inner wall of the flexible enclosure 1 may be provided with a hydrophilic coating, so that the sweat generated by the patient can be quickly discharged to the outside of the flexible enclosure 1, thereby reducing the stuffiness inside the flexible enclosure 1 and improving the long-term wearing tolerance of the scoliosis brace 100.

[0076] In addition, the outer layer of the flexible enclosure 1 can be constructed as a self-repairing polyurethane-urea part, that is, the flexible enclosure 1 can be made of a self-repairing polyurethane-urea material. The self-repairing polyurethane-urea material has a good scratch self-repair rate, which can extend the service life of the flexible enclosure 1. For example, the flexible enclosure 1 can have a service life of two years, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the scoliosis orthosis 100.

[0077] According to some specific embodiments of the present application, the stress-bearing parts of the flexible enclosure 1 are determined by using finite element analysis software, and a memory plastic alloy plate is installed at the stress-bearing parts of the flexible enclosure 1. The memory plastic alloy plate is located inside the flexible enclosure 1 to avoid the correction belt 3. The memory plastic alloy plate can further enhance the supporting strength of the flexible enclosure 1 and also improve the correction effect of the scoliosis orthosis 100.

[0078] Based on this, the present application further discloses a scoliosis detection system 1000. The scoliosis detection system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application is applicable to the scoliosis orthosis 100 of the above-described embodiment. The scoliosis detection system 1000 includes a gait detection insole 200 and a detection terminal 300. The gait detection insole 200 includes an insole body 210, multiple pressure detection elements 220, and an information collection module 230. The patient can place the insole in a shoe. The multiple pressure detection elements 220 are spaced apart and arranged in the insole body 210. In some specific embodiments of the present application, the insole body 210 may be provided with eight pressure detection elements 220. The eight pressure detection elements 220 are distributed in pairs in areas of the insole body 210 corresponding to the patient's toes, metatarsals, midfoot, and heel. The eight pressure detection elements 220 are respectively used to detect pressure values ​​at corresponding locations on the insole body 210, thereby obtaining walking pressure information at corresponding locations on the patient's foot.

[0079] The pressure detection element 220 is in communication with the information acquisition module 230, which is used to generate and send gait information, including plantar pressure distribution information, stride length information, and cadence information. It should be noted that the information acquisition module 230 includes at least a controller and a power supply. The information acquisition module 230 also includes a wireless transceiver unit and / or a computer-readable storage medium. The controller and power supply can be the controller and power supply provided in the scoliosis orthosis 100 in the above-mentioned embodiment. The controller can calculate and obtain gait information based on the detection signals of the multiple pressure detection elements 220. The gait information can then be stored in a computer-readable storage medium so that the detection terminal 300 can read the gait information, or the controller can send the gait information to a server via a wireless transceiver unit (such as a Bluetooth transceiver unit). The server then sends the gait information to the detection terminal 300 of the medical staff. The detection terminal 300 can determine the patient's scoliosis status based on the gait information.

[0080] It should be understood that patients with scoliosis need to adjust their gait through compensatory mechanisms such as pelvic tilt and abnormal arches due to trunk imbalance, which can worsen the scoliosis condition. When the patient applies corrective force to correct the spinal curvature through the scoliosis orthosis 100, the gait detection insole 200 can generate corresponding gait information based on the detection signal of the pressure detection member 220. After the detection terminal 300 receives the gait information, the detection terminal 300 can perform multimodal fusion analysis on the gait information based on the CNN-LSTM hybrid model to determine the patient's scoliosis condition.

[0081] For example, when the gait detection insole 200 detects that the patient's plantar pressure center continues to deviate toward the concave side of scoliosis and the offset is greater than 10 mm, the detection terminal 300 determines that the patient's pelvic compensation condition has worsened, that is, the patient's scoliosis has increased. The detection terminal 300 or medical staff can remind the patient to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit, and the medical staff can adjust the scoliosis orthosis 100 to match the corrective effect of the scoliosis orthosis 100 with the patient's current scoliosis status, thereby improving the corrective effect of the scoliosis orthosis 100.

[0082] Therefore, according to the scoliosis detection system 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, when the patient wears the scoliosis orthosis 100, the patient's gait information is obtained by using the gait detection insole 200, and the detection terminal 300 can determine the patient's scoliosis status based on the gait information. Then, the doctor can remind the patient to return for a follow-up visit in time and adjust the scoliosis orthosis 100 according to the patient's scoliosis status to improve the corrective effect of the scoliosis orthosis 100.

[0083] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
