Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a soft scoliosis orthopedic brace. Background Art

[0002] Scoliosis is a common spinal disease, which is mainly manifested as lateral curvature of the spine accompanied by axial rotation. In severe cases, it will affect the patient's appearance, respiratory function and quality of life. The treatment methods for scoliosis mainly include surgical and non-surgical treatments, among which non-surgical treatments include wearing braces and specific exercise training for correction. Traditional braces are mostly rigid braces, most of which are in the shape of a whole vest, such as the common rigid Boston brace, which covers a large area of ​​the patient's torso when used. It is heavy and uncomfortable to wear, and the patient's compliance is low, which affects the correction effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a soft scoliosis correction brace, which is mainly used for single lumbar scoliosis correction of the spine and can make patients wear it comfortably, light and breathable.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a soft scoliosis orthopedic brace, including a first soft pressure pad, a second soft pressure pad, a third soft pressure pad, a hard support unit, and a strap unit, wherein:

[0005] The first soft pressure pad is wrapped around the side waist of one side of the patient, and the second soft pressure pad and the third soft pressure pad are wrapped around the pelvic side above and below the side waist of the other side of the patient respectively;

[0006] A hard support unit is respectively provided at the front and rear positions of the patient's torso, and the hard support unit is used to fix the first soft pressure pad and the second soft pressure pad, and is also used to fix the first soft pressure pad and the third soft pressure pad;

[0007] The lower end of the shoulder strap unit is fixedly connected to the second soft pressure pad.

[0008] The first soft pressure pad, the second soft pressure pad and the third soft pressure pad form a three-point force system for correcting single waist bending and trunk deviation. The upper body strap unit as a fixed part has no correction effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the hard support unit is a transverse Y-shaped structure, specifically including a transverse support portion and two oblique branch portions, the transverse support portion is fixedly connected to the first soft pressure pad, and the two oblique branch portions are respectively fixedly connected to the second soft pressure pad and the third soft pressure pad.

[0010] Furthermore, the lateral support parts at the front and rear of the patient's trunk are fixedly connected as one at the connection point of the first soft pressure pad. This integrated structure can make the lateral support more stable.

[0011] Furthermore, the specific structure of the shoulder strap unit is as follows: the two upper shoulder straps are respectively wrapped around the patient's shoulders, and the bottom ends thereof extend toward the center of the chest and back respectively; the lower fixing belt is wrapped around the patient's chest and back trunk; a hard connection part is respectively provided at the patient's chest and back position; the upper end of the hard connection part is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the shoulder strap, and the lower end of the hard connection part is fixedly connected to the middle part of the fixing belt.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The main structure is composed of three independent and compact soft pressure pads and a hard support unit, which overcomes the shortcomings of the whole-piece hard Boston brace. It has the advantages of light weight, good breathability, easy to put on and take off, high flexibility, and comfortable wearing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the front structure of an embodiment of the utility model;

[0015] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the back structure of an embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Figures 1-2 A specific embodiment of the soft scoliosis orthopedic brace of the utility model is shown, comprising a first soft pressure pad 1, a second soft pressure pad 2, a third soft pressure pad 3, a hard support unit 4, and a strap unit 5, wherein:

[0018] The first soft pressure pad 1 is wrapped around the side waist of one side of the patient, and the second soft pressure pad 2 and the third soft pressure pad 3 are wrapped around the pelvic side above and below the side waist of the other side of the patient respectively;

[0019] A hard support unit 4 is respectively arranged at the front and rear positions of the patient's trunk, and the hard support unit 4 is a transverse Y-shaped structure, specifically including a transverse support portion 401 and two oblique branch portions 402, the front and rear transverse support portions 401 are respectively fixedly connected to the first soft pressure pad 1, and the front and rear transverse support portions 401 are fixedly connected as a whole at the connection position of the first soft pressure pad 1; the two oblique branch portions 402 at the front of the trunk are respectively fixedly connected to the second soft pressure pad 2 and the third soft pressure pad 3, and the two oblique branch portions 402 at the rear of the trunk are also respectively fixedly connected to the second soft pressure pad 2 and the third soft pressure pad 3;

[0020] The specific structure of the shoulder strap unit 5 is as follows: the two upper shoulder straps 501 respectively surround the patient's shoulders, and the bottom ends thereof extend toward the center of the chest and back, respectively; the lower fixing belt 502 surrounds the patient's chest and back trunk; a hard connection part 503 is respectively provided at the patient's chest and back positions; the upper end of the hard connection part 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the shoulder strap 501, and the lower end of the hard connection part 503 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixing belt 502; one end of the fixing belt 502 is fixedly connected to the second soft pressure pad 2. In this embodiment, the fixing belt 502 of the chest is in a herringbone shape, and the fixing belt 502 of the back is in a straight shape. The shoulder straps 501 and the fixing belt 502 are made of inelastic and non-deformable materials to disperse the pressure of the shoulders and chest and improve the wearing comfort of the patient; the hard connection part 503 is made of a medium-hard non-deformable material such as plastic to ensure the overall fixation of the orthopedic brace and avoid the displacement of the brace during the patient's activities.

[0021] Of course, in a specific implementation, the fixing belt 502 may also adopt other shapes as long as it can play the role of connection and fixing.

[0022] The above embodiments of the utility model are merely examples for explaining the utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes and modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here. All obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the utility model are still within the scope of protection of the utility model.
