Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of posture correction, and more specifically, it relates to an auxiliary corrective device for scoliosis. Background Technology

[0002] Scoliosis is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by lateral curvature of the spine in the coronal plane, often accompanied by spinal rotation and sagittal plane variations. This condition severely affects a patient's appearance and visceral function, and in severe cases, it can even be life-threatening. Clinical causes of scoliosis primarily include congenital scoliosis, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and adult scoliosis. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common type, typically occurring during school age and may be caused by factors such as poor posture or muscle imbalances.

[0003] In terms of orthopedic treatment, most existing scoliosis orthotics are simple mechanical orthotics that use traction-type tension devices to pull the spine, which has problems such as inconvenience in adjustment, patient discomfort, and high cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing traction-type scoliosis correctors, such as inconvenience in adjustment and patient discomfort, and provides a scoliosis auxiliary corrector that is easier to adjust.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A scoliosis assistive correction device includes a first pair of rods, a second pair of rods, and an adjusting rod. The first pair of rods and the second pair of rods each include two parallel rods. A contact element connects the two rods of the first pair of rods, and a contact element also connects the two rods of the second pair of rods. The adjusting rod includes a counterweight rod and two parallel connecting rods. The two connecting rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rod in the first pair of rods and the top of the rod in the second pair of rods, respectively. The counterweight rod is connected to the end of the connecting rod.

[0007] Preferably, the counterweight bar is connected to the end of the connecting rod near the second pair of bars. During use, pressing the counterweight bar downward causes the second pair of bars to move downward and the first pair of bars to move upward, generating opposing "corrective forces" through the orthotic belt.

[0008] Preferably, the counterweight bar is connected to the end of the connecting rod near the first pair of bars. During use, the counterweight bar is raised upwards, the second pair of bars is lowered downwards, and the first pair of bars is raised upwards, generating opposing "corrective forces" through the orthotic belt.

[0009] Preferably, the counterweight bar is U-shaped, and both ends of the counterweight bar are fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0010] Preferably, the counterweight bar is T-shaped or Y-shaped, and the counterweight bar has two short branches, which are fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting rod and the counterweight rod are integrated into a single rod body, and a sliding sleeve is fitted onto and slidably connected to the rod body. A second pair of rods is mounted on the sliding sleeve, and the sliding sleeve is adjustablely connected to the rod body.

[0012] Preferably, a counterweight is mounted on the counterweight rod.

[0013] Preferably, the two ends of the connecting rod are respectively provided with a three-way pipe and a corner two-way pipe. The first pair of rods is inserted into the opening of the corner two-way pipe, and the counterweight rod and the second pair of rods are respectively inserted into the opening of the three-way pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the two ends of the connecting rod are respectively provided with a three-way pipe and a corner two-way pipe, the second pair of rods are inserted into the opening of the corner two-way pipe, and the counterweight rod and the first pair of rods are respectively inserted into the opening of the three-way pipe.

[0015] Preferably, the contact element is a flexible orthotic belt with flexible sleeves at both ends. The flexible sleeves are respectively fitted onto the two rods of the first or second rod. The height of the orthotic belt can be adjusted by sliding the flexible sleeves with the two rods.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] The contact between the first pair of levers provides the medium for applying pressure to the lower back; the contact between the second pair of levers provides the medium for applying pressure to the buttocks. The adjusting lever generates a relative force through the two contact points by amplifying the force applied in the height direction via a lever. Because the contact points between the first pair of levers and the second pair of contact points are not in the same height direction, the force generated on the body can have a corrective effect, correcting the force line misalignment caused by scoliosis.

[0018] During use, a person moves between the first pair of rods and the second pair of rods, so that the two contact pieces fit against the waist and buttocks of the body in the left and right directions, respectively. Then, pressure is applied to the adjusting rod, thereby generating the aforementioned relative force to correct the body.

[0019] The advantage of this device is that the extension of the adjusting rod satisfies the lever law, which can obtain a large "corrective force" with a small force and a large stroke. Due to the large stroke, more precise control can be achieved during the correction process.

[0020] Another advantage of this device is that it can be used from both sides. For those whose lateral curvature is in different directions, the device can be rotated 180 degrees along the vertical axis and then used normally. This device is not directional. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Embodiment:

[0038] A scoliosis assisted corrector, as shown in Figure 1 、 2 includes a first pair of rods 1, a second pair of rods 2 and an adjusting rod 3.

[0039] The first pair of rods 1 and the second pair of rods 2 each include two parallel rod bodies, and all four rod bodies are parallelly arranged.

[0040] As shown in Figure 1 , a contact member 6 is connected between the two rod bodies of the first pair of rods 1, and a contact member 6 is also connected between the two rod bodies of the second pair of rods 2. The adjusting rod 3 includes a counterweight rod 32 and two parallel connecting rods 31. The two connecting rods 31 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the rod body in the first pair of rods 1 and the top of the rod body in the second pair of rods 2. The counterweight rod 32 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 31. The counterweight rod 32 is fixedly connected to one end on the same side of the two connecting rods 31.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 , among which, the counterweight rod 32 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 31 close to the second pair of rods 2. During the use process, when the counterweight rod 32 is pressed downwards, the second pair of rods 2 moves downwards, and the first pair of rods 1 moves upwards, and an "orthopedic force" in the opposite direction is generated through the contact member 6.

[0042] As shown in Figure 4 , in some other embodiments, the counterweight rod 32 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 31 close to the first pair of rods 1. During the use process, when the counterweight rod 32 is lifted upwards, the second pair of rods 2 moves downwards, and the first pair of rods 1 moves upwards, and an "orthopedic force" in the opposite direction is generated through the contact member 6.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the counterweight rod 32 is U-shaped, and both ends of the counterweight rod 32 are fixedly connected to the two connecting rods 31 respectively. Refer Figure 6 、 7 As shown, in some other embodiments, the counterweight rod 32 is T-shaped or Y-shaped. The counterweight rod 32 is provided with two short branches 321, and the short branches 321 are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 31. The counterweight rod 32 only needs to be connected to one end of the two connecting rods 31, and the present application does not limit the shape of the counterweight rod 32. The counterweight rod 32 can be a straight rod or an arc-shaped rod to reduce the burden on the operator, and the present application does not limit this. It should be noted that in order to avoid interference of the T-shaped counterweight rod 32 with the human body, the first pair of rods 1 or the second pair of rods 2 are arranged at non-end positions of the connecting rod 31.

[0044] Refer Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a counterweight block 322 is mounted on the counterweight rod 32 to further reduce the burden on the operator.

[0045] For the solution where the counterweight rod 32 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 31 close to the second pair of rods 2, three-way pipes 4 and angled two-way pipes 5 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting rod 31. The first pair of rods 1 are inserted into the pipe openings of the angled two-way pipes 5, and the counterweight rod 32 and the second pair of rods 2 are respectively inserted into the pipe openings of the three-way pipes 4.

[0046] For the solution where the counterweight rod 32 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 31 close to the first pair of rods 1, three-way pipes 4 and angled two-way pipes 5 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting rod 31. The second pair of rods 2 are inserted into the pipe openings of the angled two-way pipes 5, and the counterweight rod 32 and the first pair of rods 1 are respectively inserted into the pipe openings of the three-way pipes 4.

[0047] In some other possible technical solutions, the respective rod bodies of the first pair of rods 1 and the second pair of rods 2, the counterweight rod 32, and the connecting rod 31 are connected by means of threaded connection. Alternatively, the respective rod bodies of the first pair of rods 1 and the second pair of rods 2, the counterweight rod 32, and the connecting rod 31 are connected by means of bonding. The present application does not limit the connection method.

[0048] The contact member 6 has a relatively large area to reduce the local pressure caused by the aforementioned "correction force".

[0049] In some embodiments, the contact member 6 is an orthopedic belt. Flexible sleeves 611 are provided at both ends of the orthopedic belt 61. The flexible sleeves 611 are respectively sleeved on the two rod bodies of the first rod body or the second rod body. Through the sliding connection between the flexible sleeves 611 and the two rod bodies, the orthopedic belt 61 can adjust its height, thereby adapting to people of different heights and making the device have better versatility.

[0050] Refer Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the contact member 6 includes a contact rod 62 fixedly connected between the first pair of rods 1 or the second pair of rods 2. A flexible contact cylinder 621 is sleeved outside the contact rod. The material of the contact cylinder 621 is elastic plastic foam.

[0051] At the top of the rod bodies of the first pair of rods 1 and the second pair of rods 2, there are ball heads or other structures thicker in diameter than the flexible sleeve 611 to prevent the flexible sleeve 611 from slipping off the rod bodies.

[0052] In some embodiments, the adjusting rod includes two independent pipe bodies, namely a connecting rod and a counterweight rod, which are connected by a three-way pipe.

[0053] In some embodiments, the lengths of the connecting rod 31 and the counterweight rod 32 can be adaptively changed. For example, when the body of the person to be corrected is wider (in the coronal axis direction), a longer connecting rod 31 can be selected. For a narrower body, a narrower connecting rod 31 is used, so that the force generated by the orthopedic belt 61 points more vertically towards the human body.

[0054] Refer Figure 8 As shown, in some other embodiments, the connecting rod 31 and the counterweight rod 32 are combined into one rod body, that is, the adjusting rod is an integral rod body. A sliding sleeve 7 is adjustably connected to the rod body, and an installation hole for the second pair of rods 2 is installed on the sliding sleeve. The adjustable connection method includes: there are two oppositely arranged elastic sheet bodies and nuts on the sliding sleeve. The outer surface of the elastic sheet body has threads, and the nut is threadedly connected to the two elastic sheet bodies. By rotating the nut to adjust the position of the nut on the elastic sheet body, the connection relationship (fixed or relatively sliding) between the elastic sheet body and the rod body can be adjusted, so as to achieve adjustable connection. This connection method is used to demonstrate an adjustable connection method and is not a limitation on the connection method. Or, a number of holes are equidistantly arranged on the above-mentioned combined rod body. The sliding sleeve 7 is sleeved on the rod body, and the sliding sleeve 7 is slidably connected to the rod body. The sliding sleeve 7 is positioned by inserting a positioning pin 71 into the hole. An installation hole for the second pair of rods 2 is installed on the sliding sleeve. Through the above structure, the distance between the first pair of rods 1 and the second pair of rods 2 can be adjusted.

[0055] The distance between the rod bodies of the first pair of rods 1 and the second pair of rods 2 is greater than the width of the human body in the sagittal direction (front-back direction), so as to prevent the human body from contacting the rod bodies of the first pair of rods 1 and the second pair of rods 2.

[0056] Refer Figure 3As shown, in practical use, taking the counterweight rod 32 connected to the end of the connecting rod 31 near the second pair of rods 2 as an example, the person to be corrected enters between the first pair of rods 1 and the second pair of rods 2, with the first pair of rods 1 and the second pair of rods 2 located in the coronal direction of the person to be corrected, i.e., the left-right direction. If the spine of the person to be corrected curves to the left, the orthotic strap 61 of the first pair of rods 1 fits against the left side of the person's waist, and the orthotic strap 61 of the second pair of rods 2 fits against the right hip. If the spine of the person to be corrected curves to the right, the opposite is true: the orthotic strap 61 of the first pair of rods 1 fits against the right side of the person's waist, and the orthotic strap 61 of the second pair of rods 2 fits against the left hip. Then, the counterweight rod 32 is pressed down, generating opposing forces through the two orthotic straps 61 to achieve correction. A reasonable downward pressure is determined through communication with the person to be corrected, and then a corresponding counterweight block 322 is selected and hung on the counterweight rod 32, using gravity for static correction.

[0057] The embodiments described above are merely preferred solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way. Other variations and modifications are possible without departing from the technical solutions described in the claims.
