Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scoliosis correction technology, and in particular to a scoliosis correction device. Background Technology
[0002] Scoliosis, also known as spinal curvature, is a three-dimensional spinal deformity. In the coronal plane, the spine curves laterally; in the horizontal plane, the spine and thoracic cage rotate; and in the sagittal plane, the physiological curvature of the spine changes. The range of motion of the scoliosis segment is reduced, and the spine cannot straighten actively. Scoliosis is usually accompanied by vertebral rotation, causing costal protrusion or lumbar disc herniation.
[0003] Prolonged sitting at a desk, especially with improper posture, can easily lead to scoliosis, accompanied by uneven shoulders and a crooked neck. To correct these conditions, patients need to wear corrective devices. However, traditional corrective devices cannot effectively alleviate uneven shoulders, and they do not provide adequate support and restraint for the scapula during the correction process, resulting in poor corrective effects. In addition, it is difficult to adjust the corrective device to provide support for the scapula of different patients, resulting in low adaptability. Furthermore, the corrective device is prone to loosening after being worn for a period of time, causing it to lose its intended effect. Therefore, this utility model provides a scoliosis correction device. Utility Model Content
