Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular, to a scoliosis orthosis, and to an intelligent management system for a scoliosis orthosis. BACKGROUND

[0002] Scoliosis, as a common three-dimensional spinal deformity, has a high incidence in both adolescent and adult populations. Its core feature is the lateral curvature of one or more segments of the spine in the coronal plane, often accompanied by vertebral rotation, and mostly occurring in the thoracic and lumbar regions. This condition not only leads to abnormal posture in patients (such as uneven shoulders and a tilted torso), but also can compress internal organs in the chest cavity, affecting respiratory function and cardiopulmonary development. Long-term development can cause complications such as chronic low back pain and nerve damage, significantly negatively impacting the health and quality of life of patients.

[0003] Currently, among the non-surgical treatment options for scoliosis in clinical practice, spinal orthosis is one of the core intervention methods. It provides external mechanical support and correction to the scoliotic spine, guiding the spine to restore to normal physiological curvature while stabilizing the spinal structure to prevent further curvature. The current mainstream scoliosis orthosis can be divided into two categories: one is an integrated orthosis based on 3D printing technology, which is "customized" through scanning the patient's torso data, theoretically providing high fit; the other is a traditional plaster-made orthosis, which relies on manual shaping techniques to adapt to the patient's body shape.

[0004] However, existing orthoses have many technical defects in actual application, making it difficult to meet the treatment needs and daily use experience of patients. Specifically, first, poor breathability is a common problem: 3D-printed integrated orthoses use high-molecular materials with strong airtightness, and plaster orthoses are solid and rigid structures, both of which cannot form effective ventilation channels, leading to skin sweating and irritation, and even skin problems such as eczema and folliculitis, reducing wear compliance. Second, insufficient flexibility severely limits patient activity: existing orthoses are mostly rigid structures that cannot adapt to daily activities such as bending and turning, requiring patients to frequently remove the orthosis during learning, work, or life (such as tying shoelaces or picking up items), which not only complicates the operation but also causes the spine to lose continuous correction, disrupting the treatment process and significantly reducing the orthotic effect, especially for adolescent patients, who may be affected by the treatment continuity.

[0005] Third, the adaptability and adjustability limitations: 3D printing orthosis is personalized, but once completed, the correction force and support position are fixed, unable to dynamically adjust according to the patient's spinal correction progress (such as improvement of curvature), if you need to adjust, you need to re-print, increase the cost and time cost of treatment; plaster orthosis also has similar problems, and the shaping accuracy depends on manual operation, which is prone to fit deviation, resulting in uneven correction force distribution, excessive compression in some areas causing discomfort, or insufficient force in key correction areas affecting the effect.

[0041] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 10As shown, a scoliosis orthosis is detachably mounted on the back of the wearer; it includes a correction module 1, an adjustment mechanism 2, a flexible connection module 3, and a locking mechanism 4; there are multiple correction modules 1, each including a rectangular mounting tube 11 and a correction strip 12; the rectangular mounting tube 11 is horizontally positioned, and both ends of the bottom inner wall of the rectangular mounting tube 11 are provided with strip-shaped grooves 111, and each strip-shaped groove 111 has a locking block 112 slidably disposed in it; one end of the correction strip 12 is provided with a slot 121 that cooperates with the locking block 112, and the other end is provided with an arc-shaped abutment. The rectangular mounting tube 11 has rectangular notches 113 at both ends to avoid the correction strip 12. Each rectangular mounting tube 11 is also provided with an adjustment mechanism 2 for adjusting the position of the locking block 112. Multiple rectangular mounting tubes 11 are arranged in sequence and connected to each other by a flexible connection module 3. The flexible connection module 3 can make adjacent rectangular mounting tubes 11 move away from each other and fit against the back of the wearer when the wearer bends forward. The locking mechanism 4 is provided on the uppermost rectangular mounting tube 11 and is used to make multiple rectangular mounting tubes 11 arranged vertically.

[0043] To better correct spinal misalignment, multiple rectangular mounting tubes 11 are placed on the wearer's back. The bottom and top rectangular mounting tubes 11 are adjusted by corresponding adjustment mechanisms 2 so that their ends, the correction strips 12, can move closer together and be positioned according to the spinal misalignment area (e.g., the wearer's waist and armpits), thus achieving positioning of the rectangular mounting tubes 11. At this time, the multiple rectangular mounting tubes 11 are connected sequentially by flexible connection modules 3, which not only allows for adaptive adjustment according to the wearer's height but also ensures ventilation. Subsequently, based on the degree of spinal misalignment, correction strips 12 are placed at the ends of the corresponding rectangular mounting tubes 11, so that the locking blocks 112 contact the locking grooves 121 on the correction strips 12. The adjustment mechanism 2 then uses the arc-shaped fitting strips 122 on the correction strips 12 to support the wearer, thereby correcting the spine. After adjustment, the locking mechanism 4 arranges the multiple rectangular mounting tubes 11 horizontally and vertically in sequence (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this allows multiple rectangular mounting tubes 11 to be integrated, preventing them from shifting and reducing the spinal correction effect. When the wearer needs to bend over, the locking mechanism 4 engages with the multiple rectangular mounting tubes 11, and with the cooperation of the flexible connection module 3, the adjacent rectangular mounting tubes 11 move away from each other and fit against the wearer's back. The multiple rectangular mounting tubes 11 can adaptively adjust according to the wearer's degree of bending, so that the wearer will not be hindered when performing bending over or other corresponding actions, and the arc-shaped fitting strip 122 can continuously correct the wearer's spine, reducing the number of times the device needs to be put on and taken off, and ensuring the spinal correction effect.

[0044] Referring to Figures 8 to 10 As shown in the drawings, each flexible connection module 3 comprises a connecting cylinder 31, a sliding disc 32 and a reset spring 33; each rectangular mounting pipe 11 is provided with a through hole 114 at the center thereof, and a mounting column 13 is rotatably arranged in each through hole 114; each mounting column 13 is provided with two vertical plates 14 at one end thereof, and each vertical plate 14 is provided with a circular groove 141 on the side thereof facing the other vertical plate 14; the connecting cylinder 31 is coaxially arranged at the end of the corresponding mounting column 13 away from the vertical plate 14, and the sliding disc 32 is slidably arranged in the connecting cylinder 31; the end of the sliding disc 32 away from the inner wall of the bottom of the connecting cylinder 31 is provided with a hinged strip 321, and the end of the hinged strip 321 away from the sliding disc 32 is provided with a hinged shaft 322; the hinged shaft 322 is rotatably arranged in the circular groove 141 of the corresponding vertical plate 14; the opening end of the connecting cylinder 31 is further provided with a limiting disc 311, the center of the limiting disc 311 is provided with a rectangular through slot 312 for the hinged strip 321 to pass through, and the reset spring 33 is sleeved on the hinged strip 321 and located between the sliding disc 32 and the limiting disc 311.
