Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to an adjustable thoracolumbar support device. Background Art

[0002] Tumor bone metastasis refers to the metastatic lesions formed when the primary cancer invades the bones through the blood circulation and grows and spreads in the bone tissue. Bone metastasis is one of the common complications of cancer. Bone metastasis may occur in multiple bone sites. When cancer cells enter the blood system from the original tumor, they can spread through the blood circulation to other parts of the body, including bones. Once cancer cells enter the bones, they will grow in the bone tissue and destroy the normal bone tissue structure. Common bone metastasis sites include the spine, pelvis, femur, ribs and skull. When tumor bone metastasis occurs, it can cause bone pain and affect the patient's activities. Poor posture or position may aggravate bone damage. In severe cases, fractures may occur. The most serious cases can cause paralysis, seriously affecting the patient's quality of life.

[0003] Currently, patients are instructed to wear a thoracolumbar brace to support their chest, reducing the pressure of chest muscles and bones on the spine and ribs, thereby reducing the risk of pathological fractures. However, due to the fixed length, lack of individuality, single function, and limited applicability of currently available thoracolumbar braces, patient compliance is poor, and improvements are urgently needed. Furthermore, there is currently no support device for femoral metastases, and development is needed.
