Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an angle-adjustable lumbar orthosis, and more particularly to a lumbar orthosis with an adjustable support angle. Background Technology

[0002] Lumbar orthoses, also known as lumbosacral orthoses, are medical assistive devices specifically designed to provide support and stability to the lumbar and sacral regions. These orthoses are mainly used to prevent and treat a variety of lumbar conditions, including but not limited to lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain, scoliosis, lumbar instability, lumbar spondylolisthesis, and rehabilitation support after lumbar surgery.

[0003] When using a lumbar orthosis, first lay the orthosis flat on the bed or a flat surface. The patient should turn to the side and insert the orthosis, ensuring it is not fully pulled open to avoid losing its shape. Adjust the undergarments inside the orthosis to ensure there are no wrinkles, especially in areas with padding. Gently close the orthosis. If possible, lie down to better adjust the position and tightness. First, loosely fasten the buckles, then gradually tighten them until the appropriate tightness is achieved. For patients with a scoliosis angle greater than 40°, the orthosis should be worn and tightened while lying down to ensure proper spinal alignment. Sometimes it may be necessary to adjust the vertical position of the lumbar orthosis.

[0004] Because the main function of lumbar orthotics is to provide posterior support for the spine and to fix it around the waist, and in reality, people have different body shapes, waist lengths and torso proportions. Although existing lumbar orthotics can adjust the width and tightness, the spacing and position between the upper and lower back panels are not easy to adjust, making operation particularly troublesome. Fixed spacing may not be suitable for all users' body shapes, resulting in the orthotics being either too long and compressing the chest or buttocks, or too short and unable to fully cover the waist area, thus limiting the therapeutic effect of the orthotics. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing lumbar orthoses, which are not convenient to adjust and fix in the upper and lower position of the body, the technical problem of this utility model is to provide a lumbar orthose with adjustable support angle.

[0006] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: A lumbar orthosis with adjustable support angle includes a fixing plate, an elastic band, a fixing strap, Velcro tabs, Velcro nut, a shoulder strap, a limiting block, and a locking block. There are four fixing plates in total, with two pairs forming a group. The two groups of fixing plates are symmetrically distributed front and back. An elastic band is fixedly connected between the two fixing plates in each group. Two fixing straps are symmetrically fixedly connected to the back of the two fixing plates in the rear group. Velcro tabs are provided on the sides of the four fixing straps that are far apart from each other. Velcro nut is provided on each of the four fixing straps. The front ends of the four fixing straps are inserted into both sides of the front group of fixing plates. The Velcro tabs and Velcro nut are bonded to each other. A shoulder strap is fitted between the sides of the two groups of fixing plates that are far apart from each other. The lower back of the shoulder strap is inserted into the upper back of the rear group of fixing plates. A limiting block is fixedly connected to the upper back of the rear group of fixing plates. The lower back of the shoulder strap is locked to the limiting block. Two locking blocks are fixedly connected to the lower front of the shoulder strap. Two buckles are fixedly connected to the upper part of the front group of fixing plates. Both locking blocks can be locked to the buckles.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing piece has multiple openings.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, soft pads are provided on the side of the two sets of fixing plates that are close to each other.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a connecting piece, a fixing block, a rotating block, a lifting block, and a first screw. The two fixing pieces on the lower side are fixedly connected to the side that is far apart from each other. Each of the four fixing blocks has several round holes. The two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the side that is close to each other. The four fixing blocks are rotatably connected to the rotating blocks. The two fixing pieces on the upper side are fixedly connected to the side that is far apart from each other. The four lifting blocks are slidably connected to the rotating blocks. The top of each of the four rotating blocks is threaded with a first screw. The first screw is located inside the lifting block.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second screw and a transmission frame are also included. The rotating block is threaded with a second screw, and the end of the second screw is threaded to one of the round holes opened on the fixed block. A transmission frame is provided between the two second screws.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the shoulder strap is made of a soft material.

[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. By setting a limiting block, the vertical height of the shoulder strap can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the lower back of the shoulder strap engaging with the limiting block, thereby adjusting the fixing plate to a suitable position on the body. This solves the defect of existing lumbar orthotics that makes it inconvenient to adjust the position of the upper and lower fixing plates on the body.

[0013] 2. By setting the first screw, turn the first screw clockwise by hand. At this time, the first screw will move upward, thereby pressing the lifting block upward, which in turn drives the lifting block to move upward, thereby driving the upper fixing plate to move upward, thereby adjusting the height between the fixing plates to adapt to the waist of different patients.

[0014] 3. By setting the second screw, turn the second screw 15 counterclockwise by hand to move the second screw outward. When the end of the second screw is disengaged from the rotating block, the transmission frame can be pulled back and forth to adjust the tilt angle of the fixing plate. After aligning the end of the second screw with the round hole on the fixing block, turn the second screw counterclockwise by hand to move the second screw inward and the thread of the end of the second screw into the round hole on the fixing block to fix the fixing plate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the fixing plate.

[0020] First, it should be noted that in different described embodiments, the same components are given the same reference numerals or the same component names. The disclosure contained throughout this specification can be applied semantically to the same components having the same reference numerals or the same component names. The location descriptions selected in the specification, such as upper, lower, lateral, etc., also refer to the directly described and illustrated figures and are semantically applied to the new location when the location changes.

[0021] Example: A lumbar orthotic with adjustable support angle, see reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a fixing piece 1, an elastic band 2, a fixing band 3, Velcro 4, Velcro 5, a shoulder strap 6, a limiting block 7, and a locking block 8. There are four fixing pieces 1 in total, arranged in pairs. The two sets of fixing pieces 1 are symmetrically distributed front and back. An elastic band 2 is fixedly connected between the two fixing pieces 1 in each set. Two fixing bands 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the back of the two fixing pieces 1 in the rear set. Velcro 4 is provided on the side of each of the four fixing bands 3 that is far apart from each other. Velcro 5 is provided on each of the four fixing bands 3. The front ends of the four fixing bands 3 are inserted into both sides of the front set of fixing pieces 1. The Velcro 4 and Velcro 5 are mutually adhesive. A shoulder strap 6 is fitted between the sides of the two sets of fixing pieces 1 that are far apart from each other. The lower back of the shoulder strap 6 is inserted into the upper back of the rear set of fixing pieces 1. A set of fixation plates 1 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 7 on the upper rear side. The lower rear side of the shoulder strap 6 is engaged with the limiting block 7. Two locking blocks 8 are fixedly connected to the lower front side of the shoulder strap 6. Two buckles 9 are fixedly connected to the upper front set of fixation plates 1. Both locking blocks 8 can be engaged with buckles 9. The vertical height of the shoulder strap 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the lower rear side of the shoulder strap 6 engaged with the limiting block 7, thereby adjusting the fixation plate 1 to a suitable position on the body. The fixation plate 1 has multiple openings to allow the skin to breathe more and prevent the patient from feeling too stuffy. Both sets of fixation plates 1 have soft pads on the side that is close to each other so that the fixation plate 1 does not feel too tight when it is close to the body. The shoulder strap 6 is made of soft material to prevent the shoulder strap 6 from compressing the shoulder for a long time and causing excessive shoulder pain.

[0022] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a connecting piece 10, a fixing block 11, a rotating block 12, a lifting block 13, and a first screw 14. The lower parts of the two fixing pieces 1 on the side away from each other are fixedly connected to the fixing blocks 11. Each of the four fixing blocks 11 has several round holes. The connecting piece 10 is fixedly connected between the two fixing blocks 11 on the side closer to each other. The rotating block 12 is rotatably connected to each of the four fixing blocks 11. The upper parts of the two fixing pieces 1 on the side away from each other are fixedly connected to the lifting blocks 13. The lower parts of the four lifting blocks 13 are slidably connected to the upper parts of the rotating blocks 12. The tops of the four rotating blocks 12 are threaded with the first screw 14. The first screw 14 is located inside the lifting block 13. When the first screw 14 is turned clockwise by hand, it moves upward, thereby pressing the lifting block 13 upward, which in turn moves the lifting block 13 upward, thus moving the upper fixing piece 1 upward. This adjusts the height between the fixing pieces 1 to accommodate different patients' lumbar regions.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a second screw 15 and a transmission frame 16. The rotating block 12 is threaded with a second screw 15. The end of the second screw 15 is threaded to one of the round holes opened on the fixed block 11. A transmission frame 16 is provided between the two second screws 15. The second screw 15 is turned counterclockwise by hand, so that the second screw 15 moves outward. When the end of the second screw 15 is disengaged from the rotating block 12, the transmission frame 16 can be pulled back and forth to adjust the tilt angle of the fixed plate 1. After aligning the end of the second screw 15 with the round hole on the fixed block 11, the second screw 15 is turned counterclockwise by hand, so that the second screw 15 moves inward and the end of the second screw 15 is threaded into the round hole on the fixed block 11 to fix the fixed plate 1, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the fixed plate 1.

[0024] When lumbar correction is needed, first put the fixation plate 1 on the waist. At this time, the shoulder strap 6 is on the shoulder. Then insert the buckle 8 into the buckle 9 to fix the shoulder strap 6 on the shoulder. Then pull the fixation plate 1. If there is a deviation between the position of the fixation plate 1 and the position of the waist, the position of the lower back of the shoulder strap 6 and the limiting block 7 can be adjusted. When the lower back of the shoulder strap 6 and the lower limit block 7 are engaged, the vertical height of the shoulder strap 6 is shortened and the fixation plate 1 moves upward. When the fixation plate 1 is adjusted to a suitable position on the waist, the fixation strap 3 can be pulled by hand to make the fixation plate 1 fit tightly against the body. Then stick the Velcro 4 and Velcro 5 together to fix the fixation plate 1. The openings on the fixation plate 1 can make the skin more breathable and prevent the patient from being too stuffy.

[0025] If the height of the fixation plate 1 needs to be adjusted, first turn the first screw 14 clockwise by hand. At this time, the first screw 14 will move upward, thereby pressing the lifting block 13 upward, which in turn drives the lifting block 13 to move upward, thereby driving the upper fixation plate 1 to move upward, thereby adjusting the height between the fixation plates 1 to adapt to the waist of different patients.

[0026] If it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the fixing plate 1, first turn the second screw 15 counterclockwise by hand to move the second screw 15 outward. When the end of the second screw 15 disengages from the rotating block 12, the transmission frame 16 can be pulled back and forth to adjust the tilt angle of the fixing plate 1. After aligning the end of the second screw 15 with the round hole on the fixing block 11, turn the second screw 15 counterclockwise by hand to move the second screw 15 inward. The thread of the end of the second screw 15 is turned into the round hole on the fixing block 11 to fix the fixing plate 1, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the fixing plate 1.
