Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of posture correction technology for children with cerebral palsy, specifically a multifunctional vest for children with cerebral palsy. Background Technology
[0002] Cerebral palsy (CP) is a permanent motor disorder caused by damage to the brain during development, which can occur before, during, or in the early postnatal period. CP affects muscle control, coordination, and strength, thereby impacting an individual's posture, gait, and other motor functions.
[0003] For children affected by cerebral palsy, some children may experience decreased muscle tone, resulting in their limbs appearing too loose and weak. This makes it difficult for them to maintain a normal standing or sitting posture for a long time, thus causing abnormal posture. At the same time, cerebral palsy may also lead to weakened control of oral muscles, making it difficult for some children to effectively manage saliva, resulting in drooling. Utility Model Content

A leg clamping ring 6 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the sliding rod 8.
[0024] In this embodiment, the fixing strap 2, support strip 3, and leg clamp ring 6 can all be made of polyethylene, which has a certain degree of flexibility while providing a certain degree of rigidity for support. The fixing strap 2, support strip 3, and leg clamp ring 6 can all be quickly removed and selected according to the child's individual needs. The fixing strap 2 is attached to support the waist, and the support strip 3 is inserted to support the vest, thus supporting the child's body and maintaining stability. The leg clamp ring 6 transfers the child's leg strength to the waist for further body support. An airbag 9, when compressed, releases internal gas through a ventilation tube 10 into the inflatable U-shaped pillow 12, causing it to expand and support the child's head, ensuring an upright posture. Simultaneously, absorbent cotton 13 is placed in the placement slot to collect the child's saliva, preventing saliva from wetting clothing and causing discomfort.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, an inflatable U-shaped pillow 12 is attached to the upper end of the vest body 1 by a second Velcro fastener. The inner wall of the inflatable U-shaped pillow 12 is fixedly provided with a placement groove, and the placement groove is lined with absorbent cotton 13.
[0026] In this embodiment, an inflatable U-shaped pillow 12 is provided, which expands when inflated to support the child's head and ensure that the head is upright. At the same time, absorbent cotton 13 is laid in the placement groove to collect the child's saliva and prevent the saliva from wetting the clothes and causing discomfort to the child.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, an airbag 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the leg clamping ring 6. An air vent 10 is installed at the air outlet end of the airbag 9, and the other end of the air vent 10 is connected to the interior of the inflatable U-shaped pillow 12.
