Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary appliances, in particular to a novel scoliosis correction appliance. Background Art
[0002] Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity. The cause of scoliosis is still unclear, but poor posture can aggravate the progression of scoliosis. Teenagers have a lot of schoolwork and spend most of their time sitting. It is crucial to keep them in the correct posture, or even the correct posture.
[0003] The pelvis is the foundation of the human body when sitting. The height of the pelvis affects whether the spine is in a neutral position. Unequal pelvic heights will aggravate the degree of scoliosis. If the lower pelvis is raised, the spine will naturally be in a neutral position, or even in an overcorrected position, which is very necessary for treating scoliosis in daily life.
[0004] There is a lack of products in the prior art that can conveniently adjust the height of the user's pelvis. Scoliosis patients usually sew cushions themselves or add a layer of cotton, cloth, sponge or other materials to the existing cushion to raise the height of one side of the cushion to raise the height of the pelvis. However, it is difficult to quantify the increased height of the cushion made by themselves, and after long-term use, the heightened material is easily deformed by sitting, which fails to achieve the purpose of maintaining the same height of the pelvis.
[0005] After searching, the Chinese patent with the announcement number CN 211356102 U proposes a scoliosis correction cushion, including a cushion and a pad; the cushion includes a cushion body and a slot, the cushion body is an elastic pad-like structure, the side of the cushion body is provided with a slot, the slot is provided on a single side of the cushion body, arranged in two rows, or respectively provided on two opposite sides of the cushion body, and a number of slots are provided in each row or each side; the pad is a hard plate-like structure, and the size of the pad is adapted to the size of the slot. The cushion of the utility model can be inserted with multiple layers of pads on both sides to adjust the height and hardness of both sides of the cushion respectively, which can help scoliosis patients adjust their sitting posture, so as to achieve the effect of assisting in correcting the degree of scoliosis.
[0006] Although the above-mentioned correction cushion can adjust the height of both sides of the cushion, there is a straight up and down height difference between the pads on both sides without buffering. When the height difference between the pads on both sides is too large, it is difficult for the patient to sit steadily and the comfort is poor when using it; the volume is large and it is not convenient to carry and use. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the utility model aims to provide a new type of scoliosis correction device, which can improve the comfort of patients when using it, so that patients can persist in using it for a long time; on the other hand, when the height difference between the two sides is large, there is a buffer between the two sides, so that the patient can sit steadily; it is easy to carry, so that patients can use it at any time.
[0008] The main idea of the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: designing a single-sided cushion for use on one side of the buttocks, which can reduce the volume, is easy to carry, and improves the utilization rate of patients; the cushion is designed to be an oblique structure, with the end close to the center of the human body being lower and the end close to the outside of the human body being higher, so that the buttocks on both sides can be smoothly buffered, and the patient can also adjust the center of gravity of the body to sit firmly on the chair and maintain a correct posture, which is conducive to the correction of scoliosis.
[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0010] A novel scoliosis correction device comprises a seat cushion used for one side of the buttocks. The seat cushion is arranged in an oblique structure, and a depression for receiving the buttocks and thigh roots of the patient is arranged on the upper part of the seat cushion.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, further: a slide groove is opened under the seat cushion, a matching slider is arranged above the supplementary pad, and the slide groove is slidably connected to the slider.
[0013] Through the above technical solution, further: magnetic parts are provided at the ends of the sliding block and the sliding groove.
[0014] Through the above technical solution, further: the recessed part of the seat cushion is also provided with a plurality of ventilation holes.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0016] Designing a single-side cushion for use on one side of the buttocks can reduce the volume, make it easier to carry, and increase the utilization rate of patients;
[0017] The seat cushion is designed with an oblique structure, with the end close to the center of the human body lower and the end close to the outside of the human body higher, so that the buttocks on both sides can be smoothly buffered, and the patient can also adjust the center of gravity of the body to sit firmly on the chair and maintain a correct posture, which is conducive to the correction of scoliosis;

The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0027] The inventors have found that the pelvis is the foundation of the human body when sitting, and the height of the pelvis affects whether the spine is in a neutral position. Unequal pelvic heights will aggravate the degree of scoliosis. If the lower pelvis is raised, the spine will naturally be in a neutral position, or even in an overcorrected position, which is very necessary for treating scoliosis in daily life. The Chinese patent with announcement number CN211356102 U proposes a scoliosis correction cushion. Although the correction cushion can adjust the height of both sides of the cushion, there is a height difference between the pads on both sides, and there is no buffer. When the height difference between the pads on both sides is too large, it is difficult for the patient to sit steadily, and the comfort is poor when using it; it is large in size and inconvenient to carry and use.
[0028] Based on the above findings, the present application proposes a new type of scoliosis correction device, which is a single-sided cushion designed for use on one side of the buttocks. The cushion can reduce the volume, be easy to carry, and increase the patient's usage rate. The cushion is designed to be an oblique structure, with the end close to the center of the human body being lower and the end close to the outside of the human body being higher, so that the buttocks on both sides can be smoothly buffered during the transition, and the patient can also adjust the body's center of gravity to sit firmly on the chair and maintain a correct posture, which is conducive to scoliosis correction.
