Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of scoliosis orthosis, in particular to an elastic adjustable part for spinal correction. Background Art

[0002] Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, including abnormal sequences in the coronal plane, sagittal plane and axial plane. A normal person's spine should appear as a straight line when viewed from the back, and the trunk should be symmetric on both sides. If there is a difference in shoulder height when viewed from the front or unevenness on the left and right of the back when viewed from the back, "scoliosis" should be suspected. At this time, a full-spine X-ray film in the standing position should be taken. If the frontal X-ray film shows a lateral curvature of the spine greater than 10 degrees, scoliosis can be diagnosed. Mild scoliosis usually causes no obvious discomfort and no obvious physical deformity can be seen on the appearance. Severe scoliosis will affect the growth and development of infants and teenagers, deform the body, and in severe cases, it can affect cardiopulmonary function and even involve the spinal cord, causing paralysis. Mild scoliosis can be observed and followed up, and moderate scoliosis patients can try conservative treatment. If it develops into severe scoliosis, surgical treatment is required.

[0003] Brace treatment is the only internationally recognized effective conservative treatment method for scoliosis. Since the specific affected parts of each patient may not be the same, and the thickness, length and size of the same affected part of different patients are different, and the existing scoliosis braces only have model size differences, it is impossible to adjust the shape of the scoliosis brace according to the actual affected part conditions of each patient, and it is difficult to achieve good correction and rehabilitation effects for patients with different disease conditions.

[0004] At present, for the existing braces in changing the position of the metal adjustable structure, the force applied is constant. Due to the different body types of patients and different treatment duration effects, discomfort will be felt after long-term wearing. In order to solve this problem, an elastic adjustable brace is designed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a scoliosis elastic adjustable brace. Through this elastic adjustable part, the brace can be adjusted in real time, the mechanical feeling of the brace can be reduced, and the comfort of the patient can be improved.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An elastic adjustable part for spinal correction, which includes an elastomer, a fixing part and a support block; a receiving groove is arranged at the bottom of the elastomer along the direction of line L1, the fixing part is wrapped by the elastomer in the receiving groove, a slot is arranged inside the fixing part along the direction of line L1, and the support block is arranged in the slot; wherein, the middle of the fixing part is disconnected to form a first fixing body and a second fixing body; the first fixing body and the second fixing body can drive the elastomer to elastically deform on line L1, and when the elastic deformation of the elastomer reaches the maximum value, the support block still remains in the disconnected slot.

[0008] Preferably, the slot on the first fixing body penetrates along the direction of line L3 and communicates with the outside to form a chute; one end of the support block is located in the slot, and the other end is located in the chute, and a screw is arranged on the support block in the chute, and the support block is fixedly connected to the elastomer through the screw.

[0009] Preferably, the first fixing body and the second fixing body are provided with the above-mentioned screws and are fixedly connected to the elastomer through the screws.

[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the elastomer is 3mm - 7mm.

[0011] Preferably, the material selected for the elastomer is TPE / TPU / rubber material.

[0012] Preferably, the materials selected for the fixing part and the support block are both high-hardness polymer materials.

[0013] In summary, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] When a patient wears a brace using this elastic adjustable part, the fixing part with a disconnected middle will stretch towards both ends in the set direction, and drive the elastomer to generate elastic deformation during stretching, enabling the brace to perform elastic stretching to different degrees according to different patients, reducing the mechanical feeling, improving the aesthetics, and effectively improving the comfort of the patient; setting the support block can better ensure the structural stability of the elastic adjustable part. By adding a support block inside the fixing part, the adjustable part will not be damaged due to shear force; and connecting the support block and the elastomer with screws can make the overall structure of the elastic adjustable part more stable.

[0024] Next, a detailed description will be given of the specific implementation manners of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, an elastic adjustable member for spinal correction, the elastic adjustable member includes an elastic body 11, a fixing member 12 and a support block 13; a receiving groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the elastic body 11 along the direction of the straight line L1, the elastic body 11 wraps the fixing member 12 in the receiving groove 14, and is fixedly connected by glue or a screw 19.

[0026] Inside the fixing member 12, there is a slot 15 arranged along the direction of the straight line L1, and the support block 13 is arranged in the slot 15. Among them, the middle part of the fixing member 12 is disconnected to form a first fixing body 16 and a second fixing body 17 (the specific setting position will be described later); the first fixing body 16 and the second fixing body 17 can drive the elastic body 11 to undergo elastic deformation on the straight line L1. When the elastic deformation of the elastic body 11 reaches the maximum value, the support block 13 is still in the disconnected slot 15.

[0027] When the patient uses this elastic adjustable member, the first fixing body 16 and the second fixing body 17 will drive the elastic body 11 to undergo elastic deformation (tension) on the straight line L1. When the elastic deformation of the elastic body 11 reaches the maximum value, the support block 13 is still in the disconnected slot 15, and the support block 13 can better play a role in structurally supporting the elastic adjustable member, preventing shear force (the force in the directions on both sides of the straight line L1) from damaging it.

[0028] Furthermore, the slot 15 on the first fixing body 16 penetrates in the direction of the straight line L3 and communicates with the outside to form a chute 18; one end of the support block 13 is located in the slot 15, and the other end is located in the chute 18. And a screw 19 is provided on the support block 13 in the chute 18, and the support block 13 is fixedly connected to the elastic body 11 through the screw 19. This can make the structure between the support block 13 and the elastic body 11 more stable.

[0029] Screws 19 are provided on the first fixing body 16 and the second fixing body 17 and are fixedly connected to the elastic body 11 through the screws 19. This can also enhance the overall stability of this elastic adjustable member.

[0034] Among them, the left back restriction area 103 is separated from the upper right back restriction area 107 and the lower right back restriction area 108 respectively, and is connected by an elastic adjustable member. The elastic adjustable member includes a first adjustable member and a second adjustable member (both have the same structure, only the setting position and setting direction are different), and the two adjustable members are respectively connected to the left back restriction area 103 and the upper right back restriction area 107 and the left back restriction area 103 and the lower right back restriction area 108.
