[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] In the description and claims of the present utility model, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the structures used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present utility model can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are usually of the same kind, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more.

[0037] To study the pathogenesis of scoliosis, the industry generally intervenes in the growth of one side of the spine of the research object to cause structural changes in the spine, so as to establish a scoliosis model, and further study the etiology of the disease and appropriate treatment plans. The research objects are usually quadruped reptiles, such as pigs, cows, sheep, etc. However, after intervening in one side of the spine of the research object, the research object will be affected by some external factors such as gait changes, body posture changes, and exercise habits, which will affect the growth of the intervened side of the spine. The complex mechanical stresses and strains generated by these external factors cause the spine to deviate from the expected structural changes, interfering with the presentation of experimental results and resulting in poor accuracy of experimental results.

[0038] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present utility model provides an auxiliary brace, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides an auxiliary brace, which is applied to a target object (i.e., the research object) for intervening in one side of the spine. The auxiliary brace includes:

[0039] A first spinal side bracket, the first spinal side bracket includes a first arc adjustment rod 101, a second arc adjustment rod 102, and a first height adjustment rod 103. The first height adjustment rod 103 is arranged between the first arc adjustment rod 101 and the second arc adjustment rod 102 to adjust the distance between the first arc adjustment rod 101 and the second arc adjustment rod 102;

[0040] A second spinal side bracket, the second spinal side bracket includes a third arc adjustment rod 201, a fourth arc adjustment rod 202, and a second height adjustment rod 203. The second height adjustment rod 203 is arranged between the third arc adjustment rod 201 and the fourth arc adjustment rod 202 to adjust the distance between the third arc adjustment rod 201 and the fourth arc adjustment rod 202;

[0041] A width adjustment rod, the width adjustment rod is arranged between the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket to adjust the distance between the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket;

[0042] A roller bracket, the roller bracket is arranged at the bottoms of the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket.

[0043] Among them, the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket are arranged oppositely and connected by a width adjusting rod to form a cage body, and the target object can be placed in the cage body. The spine of the target object forms a curvature under the action of pre-intervention. During the growth process of the target object, by wearing the auxiliary brace provided by the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the interference of some external factors such as gait changes, postural changes, and movement habits when the target object is moving, so that the structural change of the spine meets the expectations, which is convenient for the study of scoliosis.

[0044] The first spinal side bracket can be located on the concave side (or inner side) of the spinal curvature, and the second spinal side bracket can be located on the convex side (or outer side) of the spinal curvature. The bending degrees of the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 and the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 are adapted to the concave side of the spinal curvature, and the bending degrees of the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 are adapted to the convex side of the spinal curvature. Moreover, the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101, the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102, the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201, and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 can all contract or extend along the corresponding bending directions, and can be flexibly adjusted. In the length direction (i.e., the bending direction), it is adapted to the growth of the target object, reduces the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, and at the same time reduces the interference of external factors, which can improve the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0045] A plurality of first height adjusting rods 103 can be arranged between the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 and the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102; a plurality of second height adjusting rods 203 can be arranged between the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202. The distance between the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 and the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 can be flexibly adjusted through the first height adjusting rods 103, and the distance between the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 can be flexibly adjusted through the second height adjusting rods 203. In this way, in the height direction, it is adapted to the growth of the target object, reduces the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, and at the same time reduces the interference of external factors, which can improve the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0046] A width adjusting rod is arranged between the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket. Specifically, a width adjusting rod can be arranged between the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 and the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201, and a width adjusting rod can also be arranged between the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202. The distance between the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket can be flexibly adjusted through the width adjusting rod. In this way, in the width direction, it is adapted to the growth of the target object, reduces the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, and at the same time reduces the interference of external factors, which can improve the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0047] In addition, roller brackets are provided at the bottoms of the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket. The roller brackets may include a first support rod, a second support rod, and a universal movable wheel 301. The first spinal side bracket may be connected to the universal movable wheel 301 corresponding to the first support rod through the first support rod, and the second spinal side bracket may be connected to the universal movable wheel 301 corresponding to the second support rod through the second support rod. In this way, the auxiliary brace can turn and move flexibly through the universal movable wheel 301, reducing the obstruction during the movement of the target object; moreover, through the supporting action of the first support rod and the second support rod, the gravity of the auxiliary brace on the target object is reduced, thereby avoiding the additional influence of the auxiliary brace itself on the spinal structural change of the intervened target object.

[0048] In one example, both the first support rod and the second support rod may be independent telescopic rods. The first spinal side bracket can adjust the height from the ground through the first support rod, and the second spinal side bracket can adjust the height from the ground through the second support rod. In the height direction, it adapts to the growth of the limbs of the target object, reduces the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, and at the same time reduces the interference of external factors, which can improve the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0049] In another example, the first support rod may be a structure formed by extending a target first height adjustment rod on the first spinal side bracket towards the ground, and the second support rod may be a structure formed by extending a target second height adjustment rod on the second spinal side bracket towards the ground. The target first height adjustment rod may be the first height adjustment rods at the head and the end among the multiple first height adjustment rods 103, and the target second height adjustment rod may be the second height adjustment rods at the head and the end among the multiple second height adjustment rods 203. In the height direction, it further adapts to the growth of the limbs of the target object, reduces the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, and at the same time reduces the interference of external factors, which can improve the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the bending degrees of the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 and the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 of the first spinal side bracket are adapted to the bending degree of one side of the spine of the target object, and the bending degrees of the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 of the second spinal side bracket are adapted to the bending degree of the other side of the spine of the target object. By providing the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket, the spine of the target object after pre-intervention can be assisted and supported, reducing the influence of some external factors caused by gait changes, postural changes, exercise habits, etc. on the structural change of the spine, making the structural change of the spine meet the expectations; moreover, the provided arc-shaped adjusting rods (i.e., the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101, the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102, the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201, and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202) can contract or extend along the corresponding bending directions, the provided height adjusting rods (i.e., the first height adjusting rod 103 and the second height adjusting rod 203) can contract or extend along the height direction, and the provided width adjusting rod can contract or extend along the width direction. The adjusting rods that can flexibly adjust the size can adapt to the entire growth process of the target object, reducing the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, so that the auxiliary brace itself will not have an additional impact on the structural change of the spine, thereby establishing an effective scoliosis model and improving the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0051] Compared with the target object without wearing the auxiliary brace, since the target object will generate some external factors due to gait changes, postural changes, exercise habits, etc., interfering with the process of the structural change of the spine of the target object, making the structural change of the spine of the target object deviate from the expectation, prolonging the experimental period, and even resulting in the inability to present the experimental results. After the target object with one side of the spine intervened wears the auxiliary brace provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, all external factors that affect the experimental results generated by the target object due to gait changes, postural changes, exercise habits, etc. can be avoided, reducing the influence of these external factors on the structural change of the spine, making the structural change of the spine meet the expectations, ensuring that scientific and reliable experimental results are presented as early as possible, and improving the experimental efficiency.

[0052] Optionally, the first spinal side bracket, the second spinal side bracket, and the width adjusting rod cooperate to form a cage body for accommodating the target object;

[0053] The auxiliary brace further includes a limiting rod 401, and the limiting rod 401 is arranged at the end of the cage body for fixing the neck of the target object.

[0054] In this embodiment, limiting rods 401 can be respectively arranged at both ends of the cage body, and two limiting rods 401 can be arranged on each end face. Through the limiting effect of the two limiting rods 401 at the same end, the fixing effect on the head and neck of the target object is enhanced. In the case where the spines of different target objects are predicted on different sides, the auxiliary brace can be worn by reversing it. In other words, one end of the cage body originally used to fix the head / neck position of the target object can be used to fix the tail of the target object after being reversed. Correspondingly, one end of the cage body originally used to fix the tail of the target object can be used to fix the head / neck of the target object after being reversed. By arranging the limiting rods 401 at both ends of the cage body, the situation of excessive movement of the head and neck of the target object is reduced, thereby further reducing some external factors caused by gait changes, postural changes, movement habits, etc. of the target object, making the structural change of the spine meet the expectations, and further improving the accuracy of the results in the subsequent experimental process.

[0055] In some alternative embodiments, the limiting rods 401 can be arranged between the width adjustment rods located at the end of the cage body and are parallel to the height adjustment rods. For example, one end of the limiting rod 401 can be fixed on the first target width adjustment rod, and the other end of the limiting rod 401 can be fixed on the second target width adjustment rod. Among them, the first target width adjustment rod can be the width adjustment rod located at the end among the width adjustment rods between the first arc adjustment rod 101 and the third arc adjustment rod 201, and the second target width adjustment rod can be the width adjustment rod located at the end among the width adjustment rods between the second arc adjustment rod 102 and the fourth arc adjustment rod 202.

[0056] Among them, a plurality of connection holes can be arranged on both the first target width adjustment rod and the second target width adjustment rod. On the one hand, by arranging a plurality of connection holes on the width adjustment rod, the width adjustment rod can be extended or shortened by adjusting the assembly position of the connection holes; on the other hand, one end of the limiting rod 401 is detachably connected to the connection hole on the first target width adjustment rod, and the other end of the limiting rod 401 is detachably connected to the connection hole on the second target width adjustment rod. The setting position of the limiting rod 401 is adjusted through the connection hole to adjust the corresponding limiting range of the limiting rod 401, so as to better adapt to the size of the head and neck of the target object and improve the fixing effect of the limiting rod 401.

[0057] In some other alternative embodiments, the auxiliary brace further includes a fence bracket 402. The fence bracket 402 includes a first frame rod, a second frame rod, a third frame rod, and a fourth frame rod. The fence bracket 402 is arranged at the end of the cage body, and the limiting rod is arranged between the first frame rod and the third frame rod;

[0058] Wherein, the first frame rod, the second frame rod, the third frame rod and the fourth frame rod are connected end to end in sequence, and the first frame rod is arranged between the first arc-shaped adjusting rod and the third arc-shaped adjusting rod, the second frame rod is arranged between the third arc-shaped adjusting rod and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod, the third frame rod is arranged between the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod and the second arc-shaped adjusting rod, and the fourth frame rod is arranged between the second arc-shaped adjusting rod and the first arc-shaped adjusting rod;

[0059] Wherein, the first frame rod, the second frame rod, the third frame rod, the fourth frame rod and the limiting rod are all movable rods with adjustable lengths.

[0060] In this embodiment, the limiting rod 401 can be arranged in the fence bracket 402, and the fence bracket 402 is arranged at the end of the cage body. The end of the cage body is supported and fixed by the fence bracket 402, enhancing the stability of the auxiliary brace; moreover, the limiting rod 401 is arranged at the end of the cage body through the fence bracket 402, enhancing the fixing effect on the head and neck of the target object, reducing the situation of excessive movement of the head and neck of the target object, thereby further reducing the influence of some external factors such as gait changes, body posture changes, and movement habits on the structural change of the spine of the target object, making the structural change of the spine meet the expectations, and further improving the accuracy of the results in the subsequent experimental process.

[0061] Wherein, the fence bracket 402 is a movable frame, that is, the first frame rod, the second frame rod, the third frame rod, the fourth frame rod and the limiting rod are all movable rods with adjustable lengths. In this way, in the width direction of the auxiliary brace, the first frame rod can extend or shorten synchronously with the width adjusting rod. The third frame rod is arranged opposite to the first frame rod and can also extend or shorten synchronously with the width adjusting rod; in the height direction of the auxiliary brace, the second frame rod can extend or shorten synchronously with the height adjusting rods (i.e., the first height adjusting rod 103 and the second height adjusting rod 203). The fourth frame rod is arranged opposite to the second frame rod and can also extend or shorten synchronously with the height adjusting rods. Moreover, in the height direction of the auxiliary brace, the limiting rod 401 can also extend or shorten synchronously with the height adjusting rods.

[0062] Optionally, a plurality of connection holes are provided on both the first frame rod and the third frame rod. The connection holes on the first frame rod correspond to the connection holes on the third frame rod. One end of the limiting rod 401 is detachably connected to the connection hole on the first frame rod, and the other end of the limiting rod 401 is detachably connected to the connection hole on the third frame rod.

[0063] In one example, threads may be provided at both the first end and the second end of the limiting rod 401. The first end of the limiting rod 401 passes through the connection hole on the first frame rod and is connected to a bolt, and the second end of the limiting rod 401 passes through the connection hole on the third frame rod and is connected to another bolt. The position of the limiting rod 401 can be adjusted through the connection hole to adjust the spacing distance between two adjacent limiting rods 401, that is, to adjust the corresponding limiting range of the limiting rod 401, so as to better adapt to the size of the head and neck of the target object and improve the fixing effect of the limiting rod 401.

[0064] In another example, a snap structure matching the connection hole on the first frame rod is provided at the first end of the limiting rod 401, and a snap structure matching the connection hole on the third frame rod is provided at the second end of the limiting rod 401. The first end of the limiting rod 401 is snap-connected to the connection hole on the first frame rod, and the second end of the limiting rod 401 is snap-connected to the connection hole on the third frame rod. The position of the limiting rod 401 can be adjusted through the connection hole to adjust the spacing distance between two adjacent limiting rods 401, that is, to adjust the corresponding limiting range of the limiting rod 401, so as to better adapt to the size of the head and neck of the target object and improve the fixing effect of the limiting rod 401.

[0065] Optionally, the spacing between adjacent connection holes among the plurality of connection holes is the same. The uniform spacing improves the stability of the structure, distributes the load more evenly, and enhances the overall strength. Moreover, when adjusting the position of the limiting rod 401 through the connection hole, different hole positions can be selected according to the size of the head and neck of the target object to meet different requirements or changing usage conditions, improving the flexibility during the size adjustment process of the auxiliary brace.

[0066] In some alternative embodiments, the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 includes an arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod and an arc-shaped mother-sleeve rod. The arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod and the arc-shaped mother-sleeve rod are nested, and a plurality of adjusting holes are provided on both the arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod and the arc-shaped mother-sleeve rod. The adjusting holes on the arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod correspond to the adjusting holes on the arc-shaped mother-sleeve rod.

[0067] In this embodiment, both the arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod and the arc-shaped mother-sleeve rod are arc-shaped structures, which are convenient for adjusting the angle within a preset range, so that the bending degree of the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 is adapted to the spinal curvature of the target object; the arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod and the arc-shaped mother-sleeve rod are nested, and the sub-sleeve rod can be inserted into the mother-sleeve rod to form an adjustable combination. In the length direction (i.e., the bending direction), it can contract or extend along the bending direction to adapt to the growth of the target object; and the adjustment holes on the arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod correspond to the adjustment holes on the arc-shaped mother-sleeve rod, so that appropriate hole positions can be selected for fixation according to needs. For example, the arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod can be slid as needed. After adjusting to the appropriate length, the adjustment holes on the arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod are aligned with the adjustment holes on the arc-shaped mother-sleeve rod and fixed by screws or other locking devices, realizing the adjustment of different lengths and curvatures.

[0068] Among them, the arc radius corresponding to the bending position of the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 is the same as the arc radius corresponding to the bending position of the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101; the arc radius corresponding to the bending position of the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 is the same as the arc radius corresponding to the bending position of the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202; the arc radius corresponding to the bending position of the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 is greater than the arc radius corresponding to the bending position of the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101, that is, the first spinal side bracket is located on the concave side (or inner side) of the spinal curvature, and the second spinal side bracket is located on the convex side (or outer side) of the spinal curvature. The bending degrees of the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 and the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 are adapted to the concave side of the spinal curvature, and the bending degrees of the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 are adapted to the convex side of the spinal curvature.

[0069] Among them, the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102, the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201, and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 can also adopt the above-mentioned connection method of nested arc-shaped sub-sleeve rod and arc-shaped mother-sleeve rod to contract or extend along the corresponding bending direction, which can be flexibly adjusted. In the length direction (i.e., the bending direction), it is adapted to the growth of the target object, reduces the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, and at the same time reduces the interference of external factors, which can improve the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0070] In some other alternative embodiments, the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 includes an arc-shaped base plate and arc-shaped sleeve rods respectively sleeved at both ends of the arc-shaped base plate, and a plurality of adjustment holes are provided on both the arc-shaped base plate and the arc-shaped sleeve rods, and the adjustment holes on the arc-shaped base plate correspond to the adjustment holes on the arc-shaped sleeve rods.

[0071] In this embodiment, with the arc-shaped substrate as the main structure, the mechanical properties and stability of the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 can be improved. The arc-shaped sleeve rods sleeved at both ends of the arc-shaped substrate can approach each other along the curvature of the arc-shaped substrate, so that the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 can contract; the arc-shaped sleeve rods sleeved at both ends of the arc-shaped substrate can move away from each other along the curvature of the arc-shaped substrate, so that the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 can extend to adapt to the growth of the target object. Moreover, the adjusting holes on the arc-shaped substrate correspond to the adjusting holes on the arc-shaped sleeve rods, so that appropriate hole positions can be selected for fixation according to requirements. For example, the arc-shaped sleeve rods at both ends of the arc-shaped substrate can be slid as needed. After adjusting to the appropriate length, the adjusting holes on the arc-shaped sleeve rods are aligned with the adjusting holes on the arc-shaped substrate, and fixed by screws or other locking devices (such as pins or buckles), realizing the adjustment of different lengths and curvatures.

[0072] Among them, the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102, the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 can also adopt the above-mentioned connection method of nesting the arc-shaped sleeve rod and the arc-shaped substrate, so as to contract or extend along the corresponding bending direction, which can be flexibly adjusted. In the length direction (i.e., the bending direction), it adapts to the growth of the target object, reduces the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, and at the same time reduces the interference of external factors, which can improve the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0073] Optionally, the width adjusting rod includes a first width adjusting rod 501 and a second width adjusting rod 502. The first width adjusting rod 501 is arranged between the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 and the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201, and the second width adjusting rod 502 is arranged between the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202, and the number of the second width adjusting rods 502 is 2 or 3;

[0074] When the number of the second width adjusting rods 502 is 2, a second width adjusting rod 502 is respectively arranged at the end positions of the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 corresponding to the bottom frame;

[0075] When the number of the second width adjusting rods 502 is 3, a second width adjusting rod 502 is respectively arranged at the end positions of the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 corresponding to the bottom frame, and a second width adjusting rod 502 is arranged at the middle position of the bottom frame.

[0076] Among them, the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101, the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102, the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201, and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 can adopt the above-mentioned nested connection method. Through the corresponding adjusting holes, the nested depth can be flexibly adjusted to contract or extend along the corresponding bending direction, and in the length direction (i.e., the bending direction), it can adapt to the bending growth of the spine of the target object;

[0077] Among them, the first height adjusting rod 103 and the second height adjusting rod 203 can also adopt the above-mentioned nested connection method. Through the corresponding adjusting holes, the nested depth can be flexibly adjusted to contract or extend along the corresponding height direction, and in the height direction, it can adapt to the growth of the target object;

[0078] Among them, the first width adjusting rod 501 and the second width adjusting rod 502 can also adopt the above-mentioned nested connection method. Through the corresponding adjusting holes, the nested depth can be flexibly adjusted to contract or extend along the corresponding width direction, and in the width direction, it can adapt to the growth of the target object;

[0079] When the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket extend along the bending direction, the first height adjusting rod 103 and the second height adjusting rod 203 can extend synchronously along the height direction, and, the first width adjusting rod 501 and the second width adjusting rod 502 can extend synchronously along the width direction. In this way, the adjusting rods with flexible size adjustment can adapt to the entire growth process of the target object, reduce the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, and at the same time reduce the interference of external factors, which can improve the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0080] In addition, the number of the second width adjusting rods 502 provided between the corresponding bottom frames of the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 can be two. In other words, the number of the second width adjusting rods 502 provided at the position of the auxiliary brace close to the abdomen of the target object can be 2, and these two second width adjusting rods 502 are respectively located at the end positions of the corresponding bottom frames of the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 to reduce the situation that the target object is tripped by the width adjusting rod during the movement process.

[0081] Furthermore, a second width adjusting rod 502 can also be provided at the middle position of the bottom frame. While avoiding the target object being tripped by the width adjusting rod during the movement process, the second width adjusting rod 502 provided at the middle position of the bottom frame can support the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket, improving the stability of the structure of the auxiliary brace.

[0082] Optionally, the distance between adjacent adjusting holes among the multiple adjusting holes is the same; or,

[0083] The spacing between adjacent adjustment holes among the multiple adjustment holes varies in a gradient manner.

[0084] Among them, the first arc-shaped adjustment rod 101, the second arc-shaped adjustment rod 102, the third arc-shaped adjustment rod 201, the fourth arc-shaped adjustment rod 202, the first height adjustment rod 103, the second height adjustment rod 203, the first width adjustment rod 501, the second width adjustment rod 502, and the limiting rod 401 can all be provided with multiple adjustment holes. Through the corresponding adjustment holes, the nesting depth can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the growth of the target object.

[0085] In one example, taking the first width adjustment rod 501 as an example, as Figure 5 shown, the spacing between adjacent adjustment holes among the multiple adjustment holes on the first width adjustment rod 501 is the same. The unified spacing simplifies the design and manufacturing process and is convenient for mass production. And the same-spacing design enables quick finding of the required hole positions during mutual nesting, improving the efficiency of size adjustment.

[0086] In another example, also taking the first width adjustment rod 501 as an example, as Figure 6 shown, the spacing between adjacent adjustment holes among the multiple adjustment holes on the first width adjustment rod 501 varies in a gradient manner. In this way, further considering the non-uniformity during the growth of the target object, the accuracy of the size adjustment of the auxiliary brace is refined. For example, the target object grows slowly in the early stage, so the adjustment holes corresponding to the elongation of the first width adjustment rod 501 can be spaced relatively closely in the early stage for more precise fine-tuning; while the target object grows rapidly in the later stage, so the adjustment holes corresponding to the elongation of the first width adjustment rod 501 can be spaced relatively far in the later stage for large-scale adjustment to adapt to the growth needs of the target object. In this way, the influence of some external factors such as gait changes, body posture changes, and movement habits on the growth of the intervened side of the spine is reduced, making the structural change of the spine meet the expectations; at the same time, the adjustable design of the auxiliary brace will not have an additional impact on the structural change of the spine, thereby establishing an effective scoliosis model and improving the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0087] It should be understood that the spacing between adjacent adjustment holes among the corresponding multiple adjustment holes on the first arc-shaped adjustment rod 101, the second arc-shaped adjustment rod 102, the third arc-shaped adjustment rod 201, the fourth arc-shaped adjustment rod 202, the first height adjustment rod 103, the second height adjustment rod 203, the second width adjustment rod 502, and the limiting rod 401 is the same; or, the spacing between adjacent adjustment holes among the multiple adjustment holes varies in a gradient manner, and the same technical effects can also be achieved. To avoid repetition, it will not be elaborated here.

[0088] Among them, the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101, the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102, the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201, the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202, the first height adjusting rod 103, the second height adjusting rod 203, the first width adjusting rod 501, the second width adjusting rod 502, and the limiting rod 401 can be made of aluminum alloy material, and the shape can be a circular pipe or a rectangular pipe, which is not limited herein.

[0089] Optionally, the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 is also provided with a plurality of adjusting holes, and the distribution density of the adjusting holes corresponding to the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 is greater than the distribution density of the adjusting holes corresponding to the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201.

[0090] In this embodiment, the first spinal side bracket can be located on the concave side (or the inner side) of the spinal curvature, and the second spinal side bracket can be located on the convex side (or the outer side) of the spinal curvature. The bending degrees of the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 and the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102 are adapted to the concave side of the spinal curvature, and the bending degrees of the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202 are adapted to the convex side of the spinal curvature. By providing the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket, the spinal column of the target object after pre-intervention can be supported, reducing the influence of some external factors such as gait changes, postural changes, and exercise habits on the growth of the intervened spinal column, making the structural change of the spinal column meet the expectations; moreover, the provided arc-shaped adjusting rods (i.e., the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101, the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102, the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201, and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202) can contract or extend along the bending direction through the corresponding adjusting holes. And considering that during the size adjustment process, the moving amplitude of the arc-shaped adjusting rod located on the outer side is greater than that of the arc-shaped adjusting rod located on the outer side, therefore, the distribution density of the adjusting holes can be designed so that the distribution density of the adjusting holes corresponding to the arc-shaped adjusting rods (i.e., the first arc-shaped adjusting rod 101 and the second arc-shaped adjusting rod 102) located on the concave side (or the inner side) of the spinal curvature is greater than the distribution density of the adjusting holes corresponding to the arc-shaped adjusting rods (i.e., the third arc-shaped adjusting rod 201 and the fourth arc-shaped adjusting rod 202) located on the convex side (or the outer side) of the spinal curvature. In this way, the first spinal side bracket and the second spinal side bracket can contract or extend synchronously along the corresponding bending direction, adapting to the growth of the target object in the length direction (i.e., the bending direction), reducing the influence of the auxiliary brace on the growth of the target object, and preventing the auxiliary brace itself from having an additional influence on the structural change of the spinal column, thereby establishing an effective scoliosis model and improving the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0091] In addition, compared with the target object without wearing the auxiliary brace, since the target object will generate some external factors due to gait changes, postural changes, exercise habits, etc., which interfere with the process of structural changes in the spine of the target object, causing the structural changes in the spine of the target object to deviate from the expectation, prolonging the experimental period, and even resulting in the inability to present the experimental results. After the target object with intervention on one side of the spine wears the auxiliary brace provided by the embodiment of the present invention, all external factors that affect the experimental results generated by the target object due to gait changes, postural changes, exercise habits, etc. can be avoided, reducing the influence of these external factors on the structural changes in the spine, making the structural changes in the spine meet the expectation, ensuring that scientific and reliable experimental results are presented as early as possible, and improving the experimental efficiency.
