Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of health appliances, and more particularly, to a scoliosis correction garment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis often adopt different treatment methods depending on their own spinal conditions. The treatment decision of an orthotist is basically made according to whether the spinal curvature of the patient worsens as the patient's skeleton matures. The choice of treatment plan mainly depends on the severity of the patient's spinal curvature, the position of the spine, the risk of progression, and the pelvic growth plate stage, etc. Among several non-surgical treatments, wearing a brace is the most widely used method to manage the condition. The brace can maintain the balance of the patient's body before the patient's skeleton matures and prevent the development of the patient's spinal curvature. The main goal of brace treatment is to prevent spinal deformity by using a brace until the patient reaches skeletal maturity. There are many different braces on the market, and their effectiveness is still worth exploring and improving.

[0068] Example embodiments now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments, however, can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the several views. Like components will not be repeated in description.

[0069] Moreover, the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the disclosure. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the techniques described herein can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, and so forth. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail in order to avoid obscuring aspects of the disclosure.

[0070] In addition, the terms "first", "second", and the like, do not denote any quantity or order but are used as labels for distinguishing between different components. Thus, terms such as "first" and "second" have been used throughout the specification, including in the claims, merely for differentiation between two or more components or steps, and do not connote or imply that the components or steps so designated are in any way inferior, less effective or less important than other components or steps. In the description of the disclosure, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, for example, two, three, and the like, unless explicitly specified and limited otherwise.

[0071] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connected" and the like should be interpreted broadly, for example, can be electrically connected or can communicate with each other; can be directly connected, or can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0072] Two types of braces, rigid braces and flexible braces, are designed in the related art. Patient compliance plays an important role in the decision of which type of brace to use in treatment. The main methods of monitoring brace treatment compliance include asking patients to complete a usage log, assessing skin conditions, and checking the degree of spinal correction when wearing a brace. These methods are all based on the patient's guarantee of a certain wearing time. In order to improve the compliance of brace treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a lot of research has been done. For example, a flexible brace that ensures comfort and does not limit body movement is designed and developed in the related art. However, the success rate of correction is still lower than that of certain rigid orthoses. In order to improve the success rate of flexible braces in controlling spinal deformities, more research work is needed.

[0073] The purpose of providing non-surgical treatment (e.g., wearing a brace) for patients with scoliosis is to provide a conservative solution to treat their condition and improve compliance with the treatment regimen by avoiding interference with their daily life activities. In order to solve this problem, researchers in the related art have developed a night brace that only needs to be worn during the patient's sleep. The design principle of such a night brace is to reduce the brace wearing time to at least 8 hours during sleep to avoid overcorrecting the main spinal curvature.

[0074] In related studies, the treatment results of night braces and all-day braces were compared, and it was found that the success rate of treatment using night braces was comparable to that of all-day braces, which were almost worn all day. Therefore, it can be proved that night braces are an effective means of treating patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. However, even with shorter wearing time, night braces have the risk of overcorrection and skin problems. For example, after using a night brace, patients may observe bursa, skin rash, and skin redness. In addition, it has been noted that some night braces can produce overcorrected curves, as uneven loads on the spine can cause unexpected correction forces. Spinal curvature caused by overcorrection can be an important and permanent problem with negative effects.

[0075] Although night braces have been studied for decades and there are many different night braces on the market, their effectiveness is still worth exploring and improving, as wearing night braces still shows a high degree of compliance.

[0076] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a scoliosis correction garment that can be worn at night, a garment main body provided with a fixing portion, and a padding pad detachably fixed to the garment main body by the fixing portion, by controlling the filling of gas in the padding pad to adjust the correction pressure, to apply a correction pressure to the user's scoliosis position, thereby improving the effectiveness of correcting scoliosis.

[0077] FIG. 1AThis is a frontal schematic diagram of a scoliosis correction garment according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG1, the garment may include a garment body 102 and a padding pad 104. A fixing part 1020 may be provided on the garment body 102. The padding pad 104 can be detachably fixed to the garment body 102 through the fixing part 1020 to apply corrective pressure to the user's scoliosis position. The corrective pressure is adjusted by controlling the filling of gas in the padding pad.

[0078] In some embodiments, the garment body 102 can be a top, such as a short-sleeved, mid-sleeved, or long-sleeved top, etc. FIGS. 1A-1C The example given is a short-sleeved top, but it is not limited to this.

[0079] In some embodiments, the main body of the garment can also be a bodysuit, such as a short-sleeved, mid-sleeved, or long-sleeved bodysuit, etc. FIGS. 16A-16C , FIGS. 18A-18C An exemplary embodiment in which the main body of the garment (102') is a bodysuit is shown, wherein a short-sleeved bodysuit is used as an example for illustration, but is not limited thereto.

[0080] In some embodiments, the garment body 102 is made of at least one of the following materials: 100% cotton, cotton blend, synthetic fiber blend, such as cotton-spandex blend, and synthetic fiber blend such as nylon-spandex blend or polyester-spandex blend, etc. The garments provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be used as (close-fitting) underwear, undergarments, outerwear, etc. Different types of garments can use different materials as needed, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0081] Taking the short-sleeved underwear 102 as an example, its main components can be made of 100% cotton, or cotton spandex, or nylon spandex, or polyester spandex to provide a comfortable, skin-friendly feel.

[0082] In some embodiments, the garment body 102 can be designed in various sizes, such as the common XS, S, M, L, XL, etc., for wearers of different body types to choose from.

[0083] In some embodiments, a fixing part 1020 may be provided at the center front of the garment body 102 (in FIG. 6 It is referred to as the second fixed part 1022 in Chinese, such as FIG. 1A As shown, and / or a fixing part 1020 is provided at the rear center of the garment body 102 (in FIG. 3 It is referred to as the first fixed part 1024 in Chinese, such as FIG. 1BThe filling pad 104 can be fixed on the garment body 102 in a more uniform manner on the front and back of the garment body 102 so as to exert a pressure on the spine of the user (e.g. a patient) when the user wears the garment, which is close to the plane of the curvature of the spine.

[0084] In some embodiments, the fixing portion 1020 can be a piece of cloth independent of the garment body 102 and sewn on the garment body 102. The fixing portion 1020 can also be a piece of cloth forming a part of the garment body 102.

[0085] In some embodiments, the shape of the filling pad 104 can be designed according to the body contour of the user. For example, the contour of a patient can be scanned, and the shape of the filling pad 104 can be designed according to the scanned image (e.g. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 ). The filling pad 104 can not be inflated before wearing, and after the patient wears the garment body 102, the filling pad 104 can be fixed at a position where the center of the filling pad 104 is close to the position of the maximum curvature of the spine curve in the horizontal direction (e.g. FIG. 1A , the force exerting direction of F corresponds to the position of the maximum curvature of the spine curve of the patient), and then inflated to an appropriate pressure. This can make the garment better fit the wearer, and can ensure that the filling pad can better adapt to the body of the patient. Due to the increased contact area, the filling pad can provide the same amount of correction force as a traditional brace, while exerting less pressure on the patient.

[0086] In some embodiments, the filling pad can include at least two filling pads of different shapes, so as to fix the filling pad of a corresponding shape at a corresponding position of the fixing portion according to the position of the curvature of the spine of the user, and exert a correction pressure on the user wearing the garment. FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B show garments with filling pads of different shapes from FIG. 1A , FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C . FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 correspondingly show two curves of scoliosis.

[0087] In some embodiments, the filling pad 104 can be directly connected to the fixing portion on the garment body 102, for example, detachably fixed by magic tape, buckling, etc.

[0088] In other embodiments, the filling pad 104 can be placed in a pocket and fixed to the fixing portion of the garment body 102 through the pocket. For specific embodiments, reference can be made to FIGS. 2-6 .

[0089] In some embodiments, the fixing part 1020 can have various implementations, for example FIG. 3 The fixing part is exemplarily shown to have multiple fixing positions, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 The fixing part is exemplarily shown to have two different fixing structures, FIG. 6 The fixing part is exemplarily shown to have another fixing mode. The front and back of the garment body can have FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 different or same implementations, without limitation of the disclosure. (Although FIGS. 3-6 the filling pad is exemplarily shown to be placed in the pocket, the fixing mode is also applicable to the case where the filling pad is directly fixed to the garment body.

[0090] In some embodiments, the correction pressure can be adjusted by controlling the filling of the gas in the filling pad 104. For example, the pneumatic circuit can include an inflation pipeline, an inflation air bag, and an inflation air valve, the first end of the inflation pipeline is connected to the filling pad, the second end of the inflation pipeline is connected to the inflation air bag, the initial pressure of the inflation air bag is higher than the first threshold value, and the inflation air valve is arranged on the inflation pipeline, so that when the measured value of the pressure sensor (for example FIG. 10A 1030) arranged on the filling pad is less than the second threshold value, the inflation air valve is controlled to open to inflate the filling pad 104 to a preset standard value. Some exemplary embodiments can refer to FIGS. 11A-13 .

[0091] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the spinal scoliosis correction garment is provided with a garment body provided with a fixing part and a filling pad detachably fixed to the garment body through the fixing part, and the correction pressure is adjusted by controlling the filling of the gas in the filling pad to apply the correction pressure to the user's scoliosis position. By designing the fixing part to help the user find the appropriate correction position, the effectiveness of correcting the scoliosis is effectively improved; and by increasing the contact area between the force applying part and the body by using the filling pad, the pressure applied to other parts of the user's body is smaller under the condition of providing the same size of correction force as the traditional brace, and the user's compliance is effectively improved.

[0092] FIG. 1B is a back view of a spinal scoliosis correction garment according to FIG. 1A is a side view of a spinal scoliosis correction garment according to FIG. 1C is a side view of a spinal scoliosis correction garment according to FIG. 1A is a side view of a spinal scoliosis correction garment according to FIG. 1C is a right side view of the body. As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C , the filling pad 104 bypasses the (right) body and is fixed to the front and back of the garment body 102 through the fixing part 1020, respectively.

[0093] FIG. 2 A schematic view of a filling pad and a corresponding pocket according to an exemplary embodiment. FIGS. 1A-1C The filling pad 104 in FIG. 2 is shown in FIG. 2 as 104’ and the filling pad described in FIG. 2 may be the same as or different from the filling pad in FIGS. 1A-1C .

[0094] In some embodiments, the pocket can comprise a flexible material for accommodating the filling pad, which is fixed to the fixed part through the pocket.

[0095] For example, the pocket can be sewn from a woven elastic band and a fabric with elasticity and light transmission, so as to monitor the condition of the filling pad therein. The fabric with elasticity and light transmission may, for example, be a two-way woven fabric or an elastic mesh. The woven elastic band is used to fixedly connect the fabric with elasticity and light transmission and detachably connect the fixed part 1020, and the woven elastic band may, for example, be an embodiment of the second fixing part 2022 in FIG. 3 . The woven elastic band should have good air permeability and moisture-wicking properties to maintain good thermal physiology and ergonomics and wearing comfort when worn at night.

[0096] In some embodiments, the pocket can be edged with a V-shaped folded elastic band.

[0097] In some embodiments, the pocket and the fixed part can be correspondingly designed with some fixing parts, so that the user can more accurately adjust the fixed position of the pocket. For details, reference can be made to FIGS. 3-5 .

[0098] According to the pocket provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the filling pad can be placed therein and fixed on the garment body, so that the material of the filling pad can focus on air tightness, the material of the pocket can focus on easy fixation, the design of the shape of the filling pad, wear and replacement, etc. are more flexible, and the flexibility of the design of the scoliosis correction garment is effectively improved.

[0120] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the filling pad of various shapes or the pocket with the built-in filling pad can be fixed on the first fixing positions in different positions, so that the different types (for example FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 The AIS (Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis) patient with the “C” type curve and the “S” type curve can be provided with a self-adjustable pressure position and a more comfortable scoliosis correction garment, which effectively improves the user compliance.

[0121] FIG. 11A According to an exemplary embodiment, a schematic diagram of a pneumatic circuit for controlling the filling of gas in a filling pad is shown. FIG. 11A The pneumatic circuit shown can include an inflation pipeline 11012, an inflation air bag 1102, and an inflation air valve 11026, the first end of the inflation pipeline 11012 is connected to the filling pad 104, the second end of the inflation pipeline 11012 is connected to the inflation air bag 1102, the initial pressure of the inflation air bag 1102 is higher than a first threshold value (the setting principle of the threshold value can refer to FIG. 13 ), the inflation air valve 11026 is arranged on the inflation pipeline 11012, and the gas flowing through can be air. The control system 1110 can control the inflation air valve 11026 to open when the measured value of the pressure sensor 1030 (for example FIG. 10A ) arranged on the filling pad 104 is less than a second threshold value (the setting principle of the threshold value can refer to FIG. 13 ).

[0122] According to the pneumatic circuit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, by automatically adjusting and enhancing the correction pressure applied to the wearer, the curvature is corrected by pushing the convex part of the spine during the sleep time of the patient, and the pressure is adjusted according to the sleep posture, so that the spinal deformity is effectively corrected.

[0123] In some embodiments, the pneumatic circuit can further include an electric pump 11024 for system pre-pressurization, for example, a micro-pump with small volume and light weight, which can generate a maximum pressure of 46 kPa to 80 kPa, and can charge the padding 104 to a sufficient pressure, for example, less than 20 kPa, which is very convenient for the user. When the wearer uses it at night, the padding 104 can be supplemented with air only through the inflation air bag 1102, so that the noise from the electric pump can be eliminated during sleep, and thus the sufficient pressure can be provided to ensure the correction support under the premise of quiet work and comfortable sleep of the wearer throughout the night.

[0124] In some embodiments, the pneumatic circuit can further include an exhaust line 11014, an exhaust air valve 11044, and a backup air bag 1104, the first end of the exhaust line 11014 is connected to the padding 104, the second end of the exhaust line 11014 is connected to the backup air bag 1104, the initial pressure of the backup air bag 1104 is the same as that of the padding 104, and the exhaust air valve 11044 is arranged on the exhaust line 11014, so as to open the exhaust air valve 11044 when the measured value of the pressure sensor 1030 is greater than the first threshold value. When the wearer uses it at night, the air can be discharged to the backup air bag 1104 when it is monitored that the pressure in the padding 104 is too large, so that excessive correction can be avoided by avoiding the application of excessive correction force. FIG. 11B ), the padding 104 and the backup air bag 1104 are filled with air at the same pressure in the initial state, and when the air in the padding 104 increases to a pressure that needs to be released, it is released to the backup air bag 1104, and in the case that the volume of the backup air bag 1104 is much larger than that of the padding 104, the effect of the released air of the padding 104 on the pressure of the backup air bag 1104 is very small.

[0125] In some embodiments, the backup air bag 1104 can also be used to fill the air therein to the padding 104 and / or the inflation air bag 1102. For example, when the padding 104 needs to be supplemented with air, the backup air bag 1104 can return the air to the padding 104, and the padding 104 can be reloaded together with the inflation air bag 1102. With this special pneumatic structure, the air utilization efficiency can be improved, and the energy required for compressing the air can be stored and reused in the entire system.

[0126] In some embodiments, the backup air bag and the inflation air bag can also be provided with a safety valve to control the pressure of the backup air bag and the pressure of the inflation air bag not to be higher than the corresponding safety value. For reference FIG. 11AThe spare air bag 1104 can be provided with a safety valve 11042, and the inflation air bag 1102 can be provided with a safety valve 11022. The safety valve 11042 and the safety valve 11022 can be provided with corresponding preset safety values.

By connecting the filling pad 104 to the pressure sensor 1030, the microcontroller in the control system 1110 can obtain the real-time pressure of the filling pad 104. When the pressure is greater than the first threshold value or less than the second threshold value, the microcontroller can control the exhaust air valve 11044 or the inflation air valve 1102 to open, and control the electromagnetic valve 1108 corresponding to the filling pad 104 to open, so as to accurately and quietly redistribute the pressure between the corresponding air bag and the filling pad 104 at night.

[0128] In some embodiments, the large-area contact between the filling pad 104 and the body allows the pressure sensor 1030 to also be used to measure the breathing rhythm of the wearer.

[0132] FIG. 13 According to an exemplary embodiment, a flowchart for controlling the gas in the filling pad through the pneumatic circuit is shown. The embodiment of the present disclosure can include the following steps S1302 to S13066.

[0133] In step S1302, the measurement value of the pressure sensor arranged on each filling pad is obtained.

[0134] In some embodiments, the control system can obtain the measurement value of each pressure sensor at a certain frequency, for example, every minute, or every 5 minutes, or every 10 minutes, or every hour, etc.

[0135] In step S1304, it is judged whether the measurement value of the pressure sensor is greater than the first threshold value or less than the second threshold value.

[0136] In some embodiments, a standard value of the pressure of the filling pad can be preset, for example, the standard value can be set according to the fixed position corresponding to the shape of the filling pad, and / or according to the curvature of the spine of the wearer. The first threshold value can be a first preset value of the standard value, and the second threshold value can be the standard value minus a second preset value. The first preset value and the second preset value can be the same or different.

[0137] In step S13062, when the measurement value of the pressure sensor is greater than the first threshold value, the gas in the filling pad is released through the pneumatic circuit.

[0138] In step S13064, when the measurement value of the pressure sensor is less than the second threshold value, the gas is filled into the filling pad through the pneumatic circuit.

[0139] If the measurement value of the pressure sensor is neither greater than the first threshold value nor less than the second threshold value, return to step S1302.
