Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an orthosis for infant flat head. Background Technology

[0002] Plagiocephaly (DPB) refers to varying degrees of skull deformity in children, viewed from the anterior-posterior or lateral angles. It is specifically classified into three types of malformations: plagiocephaly, flat head, and long head. Children with DPB often have multiple malformations simultaneously, with plagiocephaly being the most common. This causes misalignment or restriction of brain structural growth, affecting brain development and manifesting as intellectual, motor, and other neurobehavioral problems. DPB is usually caused by torticollis, poor sleeping posture, and high-risk factors at birth, often leading to changes in appearance, reduced activity, relatively delayed growth and development, vocal dysphonia, visual and hearing difficulties, and intellectual disability.

[0003] Treatment for plagiocephaly generally falls into two main categories: surgical and conservative treatment. Conservative treatment is further divided into helmet correction and sleeping posture correction. The aim of both is to concentrate pressure on the side with the larger plagiocephaly. Currently, helmet treatment is relatively common, but its drawbacks are also quite significant. The most prominent drawback is that, since sleeping posture is a major contributing factor to plagiocephaly, helmet treatment cannot simultaneously address both. Furthermore, based on clinical experience, most commercially available orthotic sleeping pillows offer poor fixation for children.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a structure for an infant flat head orthosis to improve upon the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a sleeping posture helmet orthosis for plagiocephaly (DPB), which is simple in structure, easy to use, and combines corrective and fixation functions, providing a more comprehensive conservative treatment option for children with DPB.

[0006] An infant flat head orthosis includes a housing having a cavity with an opening on one side. The cavity includes a head orthotic cavity and a body positioning cavity that are connected sequentially from top to bottom. The head orthotic cavity has an arc-shaped concave surface, and a protrusion that supports the neck is located between the head orthotic cavity and the body positioning cavity.

[0007] In one embodiment, a first elastic band for securing the head is provided on the housing and located at the opening of the head orthodontic cavity.

[0008] In one embodiment, a second elastic band for securing the body is provided on the housing and at the opening of the body positioning cavity.

[0009] In one embodiment, the second elastic band has the same structure as the first elastic band; wherein, the first elastic band includes a connecting band and a connecting ring, one end of the connecting band is fixedly disposed on one side of the housing, the connecting ring is fixedly disposed on the other side of the housing, and one end of the connecting band passes through the connecting ring and is attached to itself through a Velcro structure.

[0010] In one embodiment, the housing has through-holes on both sides of the body positioning cavity to accommodate a hand.

[0011] In one embodiment, the housing is provided with a plurality of vent holes that communicate with the cavity.

[0012] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the cavity is provided with a cushion.

[0013] In one embodiment, the connecting ring is fixedly connected to the housing by rivets.

[0014] In one embodiment, one end of the connecting strip is fixedly connected to the housing by a rivet.

[0015] In one embodiment, the connecting band is an elastic band.

[0016] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are:

[0017] This invention places the infant in a cavity, with the head in the head orthopedic cavity and the body in the body positioning cavity. The curved concave shape of the head orthopedic cavity closely resembles the skull shape of a normal person, thus providing an orthopedic effect on the head. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture and assemble, convenient to carry, and has good safety performance, making it suitable for a wide range of children with DPB. At the same time, it takes into account both the corrective effect of the corrective helmet and the effect of fixing the sleeping position, reducing the economic cost of rehabilitation for children with DPB. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an infant flat head orthosis according to one embodiment of the present invention;

[0019] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of an infant flat head orthosis according to one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0021] like Figures 1 to 2The present invention preferably provides an infant flat head orthosis, including a housing 1, the housing 1 having a cavity 2 with an opening on one side, the cavity 2 including a head orthosis cavity 3 and a body positioning cavity 4 connected sequentially from top to bottom, the head orthosis cavity 3 having an arc-shaped concave surface 5, and a protrusion 6 for supporting the neck between the head orthosis cavity 3 and the body positioning cavity 4.

[0022] Specifically, by placing the infant in the cavity, the head is placed in the head orthopedic cavity, while the body is placed in the body positioning cavity. The curved concave shape of the head orthopedic cavity is similar to the skull shape of normal people, so that it has an orthopedic effect on the head. The structure is simple, easy to carry, and has good safety performance, and is suitable for a wide range of children with DPB. At the same time, it takes into account the corrective effect of the corrective helmet and the sleeping position fixation effect, reducing the economic cost of rehabilitation for children with DPB.

[0023] Furthermore, a first elastic band 7 is provided on the housing 1 at the opening of the head orthopedic cavity 3 to fix the head. The first elastic band can then fix the head in the head orthopedic cavity to facilitate the positioning and orthopedic shaping of the head; preferably, the first elastic band is pressed against the forehead of the head.

[0024] Furthermore, a second elastic band 8 is provided on the housing 1 at the opening of the body positioning cavity 4 to secure the body. This second elastic band allows the body to be fixed within the body positioning cavity, effectively preventing head movement due to body displacement.

[0025] Furthermore, the second elastic band 8 has the same structure as the first elastic band 7; wherein, the first elastic band 7 includes a connecting band 71 and a connecting ring 72, one end of the connecting band 71 is fixedly disposed on one side of the housing 1, and the connecting ring 72 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the housing 1, and one end of the connecting band 71 passes through the connecting ring 72 and is attached to itself through a Velcro structure. Thus, the Velcro structure of the connecting band allows the connecting band to pass through the connecting ring and be pressed and fixed to the desired fixing object.

[0026] Furthermore, the housing 1 has through-holes 11 on both sides of the body positioning cavity 4 to accommodate the placement of the hands. This facilitates the positioning and placement of the hands.

[0027] Furthermore, the shell 1 is provided with a plurality of vent holes 12 that communicate with the cavity 2 at intervals, thereby enhancing air permeability.

[0028] Furthermore, the inner wall of the cavity 2 is padded, thereby increasing user comfort.

[0029] Furthermore, the connecting ring 72 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by rivets, thereby simplifying the installation and connection process of the connecting ring.

[0030] Furthermore, one end of the connecting strip 71 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by a rivet. This simplifies the installation and connection process of the connecting strip.

[0031] Furthermore, the connecting strip 71 is an elastic strip. This elastic strip further enhances the strength of the press-fit.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
