Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cervical spine support devices, specifically an adjustable cervical spine support device. Background Technology

[0002] The cervical spine refers to the cervical vertebrae, located below the head and above the thoracic spine. It consists of seven vertebrae in the cervical segment of the spine, surrounding the spinal cord and meninges. Connected by intervertebral discs and ligaments, they form a forward-curving physiological curve. The cervical spine is characterized by its relatively small, oval-shaped vertebral bodies, transverse foramina on the transverse processes through which the vertebral artery and vein pass; short, bifurcated spinous processes; and near-horizontal articular processes that allow for flexible neck movement. The intervertebral foramina, formed by the superior and inferior notches of adjacent vertebrae, allow for the passage of spinal nerves and blood vessels.

[0003] Existing cervical spine support devices are generally neck braces. Neck braces are quite tight when worn, which can cause the patient's neck to sweat easily, leading to bacterial infection. In addition, the fixed structure of neck braces makes them unsuitable for different patients. Utility Model Content
