Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of idiopathic scoliosis correction techniques, and in particular to an asymmetric three-point correction garment and clothing for scoliosis. Background Technology

[0002] Idiopathic scoliosis can cause physical deformities such as uneven shoulders, razor back, pelvic tilt, and trunk asymmetry. It can also cause chronic soreness and pain due to long-term imbalance of the back muscles. Severe scoliosis can compress the rib cage, restrict cardiopulmonary development, reduce exercise endurance, and in severe cases, it can compress nerves, causing limb numbness or even paralysis. In addition, adolescents are prone to psychological problems such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and social avoidance due to their abnormal appearance. If not intervened in time, the scoliosis will continue to worsen with growth and development, which will not only greatly increase the difficulty of treatment, but may also leave lifelong postural abnormalities and functional impairments.

[0003] Most mainstream posture correction products on the market today employ a symmetrical traction structure, typically a combination of shoulder straps and back support plates. By applying a balanced backward pull to the shoulders, it abducts the shoulders and straightens the upper body. Mechanically, this type of structure primarily acts on the scapular region and upper thoracic spine, its core function being to improve forward and backward posture problems such as rounded shoulders and hunchback. In terms of application effectiveness, these products can visually improve posture by lifting the chest and opening the shoulders through external force in a short period of time.

[0004] However, from a biomechanical perspective, this type of symmetrical structure has significant limitations. First, its action path is mainly concentrated in the upper trunk region, neglecting the stabilizing role of the pelvis as the biomechanical foundation of the spine, resulting in a lack of a complete longitudinal support chain in the correction system. Second, symmetrical traction is essentially a bilateral balanced stretching, lacking a clear distribution relationship between the principal and reaction forces, and thus failing to form an effective torque structure. Therefore, it is difficult to provide targeted intervention for lateral deviation and vertebral rotation of the spine. More importantly, this type of structure does not involve the synergistic action of the human spiral muscle chain, achieving postural adjustment only through simple shoulder traction. In the long term, this may even exacerbate overall trunk compensation due to the disharmony between excessive upper abduction and unrestrained lower body, potentially having adverse effects on the patient's scoliosis. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to establish a continuous force transmission path during the physical correction of idiopathic scoliosis, so that the force is not limited to a local area but is transmitted longitudinally along the body. At the same time, the correction bands are asymmetrically distributed and intersecting in space to avoid the cancellation caused by the balanced force on both sides, so that the pushing and pulling forces have clear directions, thereby ensuring that the direction of the force matches the direction of the spinal deviation. This application provides an asymmetrical three-point correction garment for scoliosis.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides an asymmetric three-point correction garment for scoliosis, employing the following technical solution, including:

[0007] The main body of the corrective garment, which is for a patient to wear, includes:

[0008] A back support plate that abuts against the patient's back;

[0009] Shoulder strap, which is fixedly connected to the back support plate, is used for the patient to wear on their shoulder;

[0010] A back support strap, which is fixedly connected to a back support plate;

[0011] A waist support belt, wherein both ends of the waist support belt are fixedly connected to the shoulder strap and the back support belt, respectively, along the length direction;

[0012] A pelvic support belt, worn on the patient's pelvis to bind the patient's waist, and connected to the shoulder straps, the back support belt, or the lumbar support belt.

[0013] Preferably, the shoulder strap includes a left strap and a right strap, and the ends of the left strap and the right strap are each extended to form a first extension strap and a first binding strap. The first extension strap is used to connect with the pelvic strap. The two sets of first binding straps located at the left strap and the right strap can be bound to each other, or the first binding strap is connected to the pelvic strap.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a cover plate, the corners of which are fixedly connected to the back support plate, and the first extension strap and the first binding strap, which are connected to the left strap and the right strap, are interlaced and inserted into the cover plate.

[0015] Preferably, the waist support belt is provided in two sets, and the two sets of waist support belts are provided at both ends of the back support piece along the width direction, and the two sets of waist support pieces are respectively connected to the back support piece.

[0016] Preferably, the shoulder straps, the back support strap, and the waist support strap are bonded together by a Velcro structure, or are bonded to the pelvic strap by a Velcro structure.

[0017] Preferably, by adjusting the bonding relationship between the shoulder straps, the back support belt, the lumbar support belt, and the pelvic belt, physical correction can be performed to suit patients with different spinal curvature conditions.

[0018] Preferably, the pelvic band has an elastic portion along its length.

[0019] Preferably, in the initial state, the pelvic band is set independently.

[0020] Secondly, this application provides a garment on which an asymmetric three-point scoliosis correction garment as described in the first aspect is mounted, characterized in that the asymmetric three-point scoliosis correction garment is fixedly connected to the garment, and the garment is for a patient to wear.

[0021] Preferably, the garment has an inner layer, and the asymmetrical three-point scoliosis correction garment is located within the inner layer.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an asymmetric three-point correction garment for scoliosis, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. By combining back support plates, shoulder straps, back support belts, lumbar support belts, and pelvic belts, a correction path is formed that continuously crosses the shoulder-torso-pelvis from top to bottom, creating a continuous force transmission path. This ensures that the force is not limited to a local area but is transmitted longitudinally along the body, corresponding to the path characteristics of a muscle spiral chain. That is, the force is brought in from the upper limbs, transmitted through the torso to the pelvis. At the same time, the back support plates, shoulder straps, back support belts, lumbar support belts, and pelvic belts are asymmetrically distributed and intersecting in space, avoiding the cancellation caused by balanced left and right forces. This gives the pushing and pulling forces a clear direction, thereby ensuring that the direction of the force matches the direction of spinal deviation, and realizing the transition from local correction to overall biomechanical control.

[0024] 2. By restricting the fixed position of the first extension strap and the first binding strap of the left and right straps along the back support plate through the cover plate, the first extension strap and the first binding strap of the left and right straps can be smoothly adjusted along the back support plate. At the same time, it can reduce the friction of the first extension strap and the first binding strap on the patient's back when the patient wears the garment, so as to reduce the patient's discomfort when wearing it.

[0025] 3. By adjusting the bonding relationship between the shoulder straps, the back support belt, the lumbar support belt, and the pelvic belt, physical correction can be performed to accommodate patients with different spinal curvatures. The adjustment methods are diverse and do not require separate design for different types of spinal curvature problems, resulting in high adaptability. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-11 This application will be described in further detail.

[0039] In one aspect, embodiments of this application disclose an asymmetric three-point correction garment for scoliosis.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An asymmetric three-point scoliosis correction garment includes:

[0041] Correctional garment body 1, the corrective garment body 1 is for patients to wear, and the corrective garment body 1 includes:

[0042] A back support plate 11, which abuts against the patient's back;

[0043] Shoulder strap 12, which is fixedly connected to the back support plate 11, is used for the patient to wear on their shoulder;

[0044] Back support strap 13, which is fixedly connected to back support piece 11;

[0045] A waist support belt 14, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the shoulder strap 12 and the back support belt 13 along the length direction, respectively;

[0046] A pelvic strap 15 is worn on the patient's pelvis to bind the patient's waist and is connected to the shoulder strap 12, the back support strap 13, or the lumbar support strap 14.

[0047] Specifically, the back support piece 11 can be made of breathable cotton material to reduce the feeling of a foreign object on the patient's back and reduce the force on the patient's back.

[0048] Furthermore, the shoulder strap 12 includes a left strap 121 and a right strap 122. The ends of the left strap 121 and the right strap 122 are each extended with a first extension strap 2 and a first binding strap 3. The first extension strap 2 is used to connect with the pelvic belt 15. The two sets of first binding straps 3 located at the left strap 121 and the right strap 122 can be bound together, or the first binding strap 3 can be connected to the pelvic belt 15.

[0049] Since the left strap 121 and right strap 122 are formed in the same way as the back support piece 11 and are connected to the back support piece 11 in the same way, and the left strap 121 and right strap 122 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the back support piece 11 along the width direction as the axis of symmetry, the following will describe in detail the cooperation between the left strap 121 and the back support piece 11, the first strap 3 and the first extension strap 2 for better explanation.

[0050] Correspondingly, one end of the left strap 121 along its length can be connected to the back support piece 11 by ultrasonic fusion. In this embodiment, in order to increase the tensile strength that the left strap 121 can withstand and to facilitate processing, the left strap 121 is fixed to the back support piece 11 by sewing.

[0051] Meanwhile, the left strap 121 branches off the end connected to the back support piece 11 along its length to form a first extension strap 2 and a first binding strap 3. In this embodiment, preferably, the first extension strap 2 and the first binding strap 3 are fixedly connected to the left strap 121 by sewing, which reduces the probability of the first extension strap 2 and / or the first binding strap 3 breaking from the left strap 121.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 It also includes a cover plate 4, the corners of which are fixedly connected to the back support plate 11, and the first extension strap 2 and the first binding strap 3, which are connected to the left strap 121 and the right strap 122, are interlaced and inserted into the cover plate 4.

[0053] Specifically, the cover plate 4 is fixed to the back support plate 11 near the patient's waist by sewing, so as to limit the path of the first extension band 2 and the first binding band 3 along the patient's body, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the pressure path on the patient's spine.

[0054] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 Between the cover plate 4 and the back support plate 11, there are a first insertion area 8, a second insertion area 9, a third exit area 10, a fourth exit area 101 and a fifth exit area 102, which are located close to the patient's waist.

[0055] For the first extension strap 2 and the first binding strap 3 of the left strap 121:

[0056] The first extension band 2 passes through the first insertion area 8 between the cover piece 4 and the back support piece 11, and exits through the fourth exit area 101, while the first strap 3 exits through the fifth exit area 102.

[0057] For the first extension strap 2 and the first binding strap 3 of the right strap 122:

[0058] The first extension band 2 passes through the second insertion area 9 between the cover piece 4 and the back support piece 11, and exits through the third exit area 10.

[0059] Correspondingly, there are two sets of waist support belts 14, which are located at both ends of the back support plate 11 along the width direction, and the two sets of waist support plates are respectively connected to the back support plate 11.

[0060] Furthermore, the shoulder straps 12, back support straps 13, and lumbar support straps 14 are bonded together by Velcro, or bonded to the pelvic straps 15 by Velcro.

[0061] At the same time, by adjusting the bonding relationship between the shoulder straps 12, back support belts 13, lumbar support belts 14 and pelvic belts 15, physical correction can be performed to suit patients with different spinal curvature conditions.

[0062] For better explanation, refer to Figure 4 The first thing that needs to be defined is:

[0063] The first extension strap 2 connected to the left strap 121 is a G strap 103, and the first binding strap 3 connected to the left strap 121 is an H strap 104;

[0064] The first extension strap 2 connected to the right strap 122 is a J strap 105, and the first binding strap 3 connected to the right strap 122 is a K strap 106.

[0065] Reference Figure 3 For adolescent scoliosis patients, there are 18 types as shown in the figure. For better explanation, the following uses left scoliosis as an example:

[0066] Continue to refer to Figures 5-6 Correcting points A, C, and E, the left strap 121, right strap 122, G strap 103, H strap 104, J strap 105, and K strap 106 follow the path shown from the posterior midline → scapula → front of the shoulder → retraction, forming a reverse traction on the shoulder, with the direction of action being a pull force backward and upward;

[0067] The central lumbar support belt 14 runs diagonally downwards from the middle back → side waist → front waist, acting on the lateral displacement of the lumbar spine to provide lateral support;

[0068] The back support belt 13 wraps around from the lower back, side waist, front waist, and opposite side, and extends and anchors in the pelvic area to form a stable lower support base. It continuously crosses the shoulder, torso, and pelvis from top to bottom, forming a continuous force transmission path, so that the force is not limited to a local area, but is transmitted longitudinally along the body.

[0069] Meanwhile, the left belt 121, right belt 122, G belt 103, H belt 104, J belt 105, K belt 106 and back support belt 13 are arranged in an asymmetrical and intersecting manner in space to avoid the cancellation caused by the balanced force on the left and right sides. This makes the pushing and pulling forces have clear directions, thereby ensuring that the direction of the force matches the direction of spinal deviation. Through asymmetrical winding + pelvic anchoring + continuous path transmission, the transition from local correction to overall mechanical control is achieved.

[0070] Reference Figure 2 The pelvic belt 15 has an elastic part 5 along its length to enhance its elasticity, adapt to patients with different waist sizes, and provide good support for the patient's waist.

[0071] At the same time, in the initial state, the pelvic belt 15 is set independently, that is, the wearer can put on the pelvic belt 15 first, so as to adjust the wearing position of the corrective garment body 1 along the patient's body.

[0072] The elastic part 5 can be composed of several elastic ropes along the width of the pelvis.

[0073] Secondly, referring to Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 This application discloses a garment on which an asymmetric three-point scoliosis correction garment as described in the first aspect is mounted. The asymmetric three-point scoliosis correction garment is fixedly connected to the garment. The garment is for patients to wear. Patients can attach the main body 1 of the correction garment to their everyday outerwear by means of fixing ropes, connecting straps or sewing to improve the appearance of the garment.

[0074] In another embodiment, a layer 7 is provided inside the garment, and the asymmetric three-point correction scoliosis correction garment is located inside the layer 7, and the path embedding is achieved through the structure of the layer 7.

[0075] Specifically, refer to Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 Using the inner layer of close-fitting fabric as a base, the starting point of the corrective garment body 1 is fixed at key stress nodes, such as the shoulders, sides, and pelvis. Then, by using the structural boundaries formed by the outer layer's partitioned splicing, such as the longitudinal splicing line on the back and the arc-shaped dividing line on the side panels, an invisible channel is constructed, enabling the corrective garment body 1 to move stably between the inner and outer layers along a predetermined path.

[0076] The implementation principle of an asymmetric three-point scoliosis correction garment and clothing according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: Through the cooperation of the back support plate 11, shoulder straps 12, back support belt 13, waist support belt 14, and pelvic belt 15, a correction path is formed that continuously crosses the shoulder-torso-pelvis from top to bottom, forming a continuous force transmission path. This ensures that the force is not limited to a local area but is transmitted longitudinally along the body, corresponding to the path characteristics of the muscle spiral chain. That is, the force is brought in from the upper limbs, transmitted through the torso to the pelvis. At the same time, the back support plate 11, shoulder straps 12, back support belt 13, waist support belt 14, and pelvic belt 15 are asymmetrically distributed and intersecting in space, avoiding the cancellation caused by the balanced force on both sides. This gives the pushing and pulling forces a clear direction, thereby ensuring that the direction of the force matches the direction of spinal deviation, and realizing the transition from local correction to overall mechanical control.

[0077] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
