Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a dynamically adjustable scoliosis orthosis. Background Technology

[0002] First paragraph: background technology.

[0003] In existing technologies, some traditional rigid scoliosis braces (such as the Boston brace and the Senu brace) often have the drawback of being difficult to change in shape after customization. Furthermore, the rigid structure restricts the range of motion, and the hard plastic shell can compress the rib cage, affecting respiratory function and daily activities, resulting in poor patient compliance. At the same time, static correction usually lacks adaptability and is difficult to adjust the pressure in real time with the dynamic changes of the spine. As the patient's height and body shape change, the point of force may shift. Long-term wear can easily lead to muscle atrophy. In addition, the customization cycle is usually long, requiring multiple molds and manual reshaping, and the production takes 1 to 4 weeks, which may delay the treatment window.

[0004] In existing technologies, some traditional scoliosis flexible braces, after being customized, may have defects such as unclear force points due to the wide-body fish-rib elastic plate of the compression part. This may result in a single correction dimension, focusing on coronal plane scoliosis correction, with limited effect on sagittal plane curvature and vertebral rotation correction. It may also make it difficult to correct postural abnormalities such as uneven shoulders, and the asymmetrical design may aggravate the severity of uneven shoulders. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dynamically adjustable scoliosis orthosis to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pressure band is made of non-elastic nylon webbing material. The bonding position of the pressure band is determined according to the position of the apex of the scoliosis, which can control the direction of force for correcting scoliosis.

Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a dynamically adjustable scoliosis orthosis, comprising,

[0026] The orthotic body 100 includes an inner lining 110, an upper main beam plate 120 disposed on the outside of the inner lining 110, a lower main beam plate 130 fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper main beam plate 120, pelvic belts 140 disposed on both sides of the lower main beam plate 130, and pressure belts 150 and shoulder belts 160 disposed on both sides of the upper main beam plate 120.

[0027] It should be noted that the inner lining 110 is used to reduce skin discomfort for patients when using the orthosis. Through the cooperation of the upper main beam plate 120 and the lower main beam plate 130, a stable support structure is provided for the entire orthosis, ensuring its effective function during correction. Based on the SPS principle, the pelvic belt 140 redistributes the weight load on the spine to the pelvis, thereby reducing abnormal spinal load and inhibiting scoliosis progression. The pressure belt 150 applies continuous pressure to the convex side of the apex vertebra of the scoliosis using a three-point pressure system. The pressure, while reserving space on the concave side, utilizes the three-point correction principle—two points of pressure and one point of resistance—to generate a corrective torque, gradually adjusting abnormal curvature of the spine. Force is applied in the direction of the spiral chain to compensate for its deficiencies and release axial stress on the spine. Furthermore, through an asymmetrical pressure design, horizontal torsional force is applied to counteract vertebral rotation and restore normal spinal alignment. Single-sided 160° pressure on the shoulder straps can adjust shoulder height, while double-sided 160° pressure can correct rounded shoulders and hunchback, thereby optimizing trunk symmetry and improving posture.

[0028] And a fixing mechanism 200 for connecting the pelvic belt 140, the pressure belt 150 and the shoulder belt 160 to the surfaces of the upper main beam plate 120 and the lower main beam plate 130.

[0029] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 200 includes a number of rivets 210 fixedly connected to the surfaces of the upper main beam plate 120 and the lower main beam plate 130, and triangular buckles 220 rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the rivets 210. The pelvic belt 140, the pressure belt 150 and the shoulder belt 160 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer end faces of the multiple sets of triangular buckles 220.

[0030] Furthermore, the inner lining 110 is for contact with the skin and its surface is sewn with a napped fabric.

[0031] Preferably, both the upper main beam plate 120 and the lower main beam plate 130 are made of aluminum alloy, which are the main beams supporting the rear of the spine.

[0032] It should be noted that the pelvic belt 140 is made of non-elastic sponge lining material and is connected to the outside of the inner lining 110 by Velcro. It is used to increase the stress on the lower end of the upper main beam plate 120 and the lower main beam plate 130.

[0033] Furthermore, the pressure band 150 is made of non-elastic nylon webbing material. The placement of the pressure band 150 is determined according to the position of the apex of the scoliosis, which can control the direction of force applied to correct the scoliosis.

[0034] Specifically, the shoulder strap 160 is made of non-elastic nylon webbing. Applying pressure to one shoulder strap 160 can adjust for uneven shoulders, while applying pressure to both shoulder straps 160 can adjust for rounded shoulders and hunchbacks.

[0035] When using,

[0036] Professionals conduct comprehensive measurements on patients to determine the position of the vertebral scoliosis, the angle of curvature, and the dimensions of various parts of the body.

[0037] Based on the measurement data, adjust the position of the pressure belt 150 to determine the direction of force for correcting scoliosis. Adjust the pressure of the shoulder strap 160 on one or both sides according to the body posture problem. Adjust the position of the pelvic belt 140 to ensure that the upper main beam plate 120 and the lower main beam plate 130 are evenly stressed. The patient first puts on the inner lining 110, then puts on the connected upper main beam plate 120, lower main beam plate 130 and related components, and fastens the pelvic belt 140, pressure belt 150 and shoulder strap 160 and adjusts them to the appropriate tightness.

[0038] After the first use, patients should return to a medical institution for examination and fine-tuning within a short period of time. During continuous use, regular examinations and adjustments should be performed every 1 to 3 months. At the same time, patients need to follow the instructions to carry out rehabilitation exercises such as spinal extension exercises and core muscle training to assist in correction.

[0039] In summary, through the cooperation of various components in the orthotic body 100 and the fixation mechanism 200, the scoliosis angle can be improved immediately during wear, existing deformities can be corrected, the progression of scoliosis can be inhibited by wearing it continuously for eighteen to twenty-three hours a day, the probability of surgery can be reduced, and the trunk symmetry can be optimized, and problems such as uneven shoulders, rounded shoulders and hunchback can be alleviated, so as to improve respiratory function and improve the patient's quality of life.
