Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation device technology, and in particular to a head and neck orthosis. Background Technology

[0002] Neck correction requires the use of orthoses to restrict and fix the patient's neck, preventing neck displacement and maintaining a scientific posture. However, most traditional orthoses are structures that wrap around the neck. In actual use, because these structures rely on shoulder support, patients move during daily activities, causing changes in posture and affecting the support strength and corrective effect of traditional orthoses. If adjustments are not made in time, the corrective effect will be affected. Therefore, it is necessary to design a head and neck orthose that can replace shoulder support and wrap around the neck, reducing changes in the orthose's state caused by movement. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a head and neck orthosis.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A head and neck orthosis includes a chest frame and a back frame. The chest frame includes a front frame body, a front connecting rod, and a front orthotic frame. The front frame body and the front connecting rod have alignment holes. The front connecting rod is screwed onto the outside of the front frame body, and the front orthotic frame is screwed onto the top of the front connecting rod. The back frame includes a rear frame body, a rear connecting rod, and a rear orthotic frame. The rear frame body and the rear connecting rod have alignment holes. The rear connecting rod is screwed onto the outside of the rear frame body, and the rear orthotic frame is screwed onto the top of the rear connecting rod. The front frame body and the rear frame body fit snugly against the user's chest and back, respectively, and are connected and fixed by four lower straps. The front orthotic frame and the rear orthotic frame are installed at the front and back of the user's neck, respectively, and are connected and fixed by three upper straps.

[0006] Furthermore, both the front and rear frames are arc-shaped structures adapted to the human body structure and have multiple ventilation holes.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the four ends of the front frame is provided with a loop, and the four lower straps are respectively fixed to the four ends of the rear frame with screws. The rear frame is connected to the loops of the front frame by the lower straps.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower strap has a hook and loop side with Velcro, and the tightness of the lower strap is adjusted by Velcro after it passes through the strap loop.

[0009] Furthermore, the front orthotic frame is a structure adapted to the front of the human neck, and the rear orthotic frame is a structure adapted to the back of the human head. The two upper straps are set on the lower sides of the rear orthotic frame by screws. The last upper strap is set on the upper side of the rear orthotic frame, and a loop is provided on the other side. The bottom sides of the front orthotic frame have two loops. The two upper straps of the rear orthotic frame are tied to the two loops at the bottom of the front orthotic frame. The upper straps are wrapped around the user's head and then tied to the loops on the other side.

[0010] Furthermore, both the front and rear orthotic frames are provided with multiple ventilation holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper strap has a hook and loop side with Velcro, and its tightness is adjusted by Velcro after the upper strap passes through the loop.

[0012] Furthermore, both the front frame and the rear frame are provided with two parallel reinforcing ribs on the outer side to enhance resistance to deformation.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0014] This invention uses a combination of a chest frame and a back frame for head and neck orthotics. The chest frame and back frame replace the traditional shoulder support structure, and the chest frame and back frame provide auxiliary support for the head and neck. They can be flexibly disassembled and the tightness can be adjusted to meet the needs of different patients. The front orthotics frame and the rear orthotics frame, together with the corresponding front and rear connecting rods, can clamp the user's head and neck from the front and back to prevent them from loosening and moving, effectively correcting the head and neck posture, and allowing the user's shoulders and hands to move flexibly.
