[0002] Scoliosis is commonly known as scoliosis. It is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, including abnormal sequences in the coronal, sagittal and axial planes. A normal person's spine should be a straight line when viewed from the back, and the two sides of the trunk should be symmetrical. If the shoulders are not at the same height when viewed from the front or the back is uneven from the back, "scoliosis" should be suspected. Spinal correction technology is a technology dedicated to resetting the dislocated and subluxated spine and adjusting the spinal joints, which is similar to the traditional Chinese medicine method of bending and bone setting.

The two groups of tightening belts 10 arranged at the front chest and the front waist can be adjusted and fixed according to the needs and physical conditions of the patient. The head of the tightening belt 10 is inserted into the buckle, and the buckle has a fixed buckle hole. When the head of the tightening belt 10 is inserted into the buckle, the mechanical structure inside the buckle will automatically lock the head of the tightening belt 10 to ensure that the tightening belt 10 is firmly fixed on the buckle. When it is released, just gently twist the release button of the buckle, and the mechanical structure inside the buckle will be unlocked;

[0025] The inner shell 2 is arranged on the inner surface of the outer shell 1. The inner shell 2 is a structure that is in direct contact with the patient's skin. An interlayer 3 is provided between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2. The interlayer 3 is formed between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 to increase the overall strength and stability of the stent. The inner cavity of the interlayer 3 is provided with a mesh cloth 12. The mesh cloth 12 is provided with several groups. The mesh cloth 12 increases the ventilation effect, promotes air circulation, and reduces the dampness of the patient when wearing it. Several groups of mesh cloth 12 are stacked on the inner surface of the interlayer 3 in sequence. The inside of the interlayer 3 is filled by stacking several groups of mesh cloth 12 to fill and support the interlayer 3. In addition, the structure of the mesh cloth 12 improves the air permeability of the stent to keep the skin dry. The spine support rod 4 is arranged at the center of the inner cavity of the interlayer 3, and back support frames 5 are arranged on both sides of the spine support rod 4. There are five groups of back support frames 5. The spine support rod 4 and the back support frames 5 form a group of keel structures, and the outer surface of the rod body of the spine support rod 4 is arc-shaped. The positions of the five groups of back support frames 5 are arranged at equal intervals. The spine support rod 4 and the back support frames 5 form a keel structure.

[0026] The moisture wicking layer 9 is arranged on the inner surface of the inner shell 2. The material of the moisture wicking layer 9 is bamboo charcoal fiber. The bamboo charcoal fiber material has good moisture wicking and antibacterial properties, can help regulate humidity and absorb odor, and such a moisture wicking layer 9 can quickly absorb sweat and discharge it, reduce the time that sweat stays on the skin surface, reduce the irritation and discomfort of sweat to the skin, and keep the skin dry and refreshed. The surface of the moisture wicking layer 9 is provided with soft gaskets 8, and the soft gaskets 8 are provided with several groups, and the several groups of soft gaskets 8 are respectively corresponding to the positions of the spine support rods 4 and the back support frame 5. Correspondingly, the soft gasket 8 corresponds to the keel structure composed of the spine support rod 4 and the back support frame 5. When the inner shell 2 fits the skin, the bracket at the keel structure is cushioned to increase comfort. The air holes 11 are arranged on the outer surface of the outer shell 1. The air holes 11 are arranged in several groups. The positions of the several groups of air holes 11 are arranged at equal intervals. The outer shell 1 improves the air permeability of the bracket through the equidistant arrangement of the several groups of air holes 11, increases the ventilation effect of the bracket, promotes air circulation, helps dissipate heat and sweat, keeps the skin dry, and reduces the chance of bacterial growth.

[0027] In summary, if Figures 1 to 4As shown, the scoliosis correction brace for patients, since the back of the human body is prone to sweating, the mesh-shaped back breathable net 6 increases air circulation, thereby reducing moisture caused by sweating on the back, and the elastic belt 7 made of rubber material fits tightly with the shoulders of the human body through the elasticity of the rubber itself to fix the brace. When wearing it, the head of the tightening belt 10 is inserted into the buckle, and the buckle has a fixed buckle hole. When the head of the tightening belt 10 is inserted into the buckle, the mechanical structure inside the buckle will automatically lock the head of the tightening belt 10 to ensure that the tightening belt 10 is firmly fixed on the buckle, thereby fixing the brace to the patient's body. When releasing, just gently twist the release button of the buckle, and the mechanical structure inside the buckle will unlock;

[0028] The space between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 forms a sandwich 3, and the mesh cloth 12 arranged inside the sandwich 3 is stacked layer by layer and placed in the inner cavity of the sandwich 3, so as to support the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2, and fill the remaining space of the keel structure of the spinal support rod 4 and the back support frame 5 installed inside the sandwich 3, and use the mesh structure of the mesh cloth 12 to improve the air permeability of the bracket, so as to maintain air circulation. Due to the physiological curvature of the sagittal plane of the human spine, the spinal support rod 4 is set to an arc in order to fit the patient's spinal curve, and the back of the patient is supported by the back support frame 5. The spine is supported and the bracket is tightened by tightening the waist belt 10 to achieve the purpose of correction. The soft gasket 8 corresponds to such a group of keel structures to ensure that when the inner shell 2 fits the human body, it will not be uncomfortable caused by the keel structure, providing a buffer effect. Several groups of air holes 11 are arranged on the outer surface of the outer shell 1 at equal intervals to increase its ventilation effect and help heat dissipation and perspiration. The moisture absorption and perspiration layer 9 absorbs sweat through the characteristics of bamboo charcoal fiber material and quickly discharges it to reduce the residence time of sweat on the skin surface, thereby ensuring that the inner shell 2 fits the human skin dry and refreshing.
