Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a scoliosis correction training device. Background Technology
[0002] The incidence of idiopathic scoliosis in Chinese adolescents is 3-5%, and most scoliosis patients primarily undergo conservative treatment. Currently, there are few devices available for conservative scoliosis correction, and most are passive corrections. The most commonly used is the space capsule correction device, which is slightly modified from lumbar and cervical traction equipment, thus only providing correction in one dimension. However, scoliosis is generally a three-dimensional deformity, making this device unsuitable for scoliosis correction. Correction devices modified from lumbar and cervical traction equipment only provide traction in a supine position, and the traction force is generally targeted, making them unsuitable for the true pathological characteristics of scoliosis.
[0003] Furthermore, most other types of corrective devices on the market are passive corrective devices, with few active corrective training devices available. The drawbacks of passive correction are: (1) short duration of action, making it difficult to achieve long-term effects; (2) a high risk of relapse; and (3) the lack of active muscle involvement in passive correction, leading to poor trunk stability and affecting the therapeutic effect. Therefore, active correction is more advantageous than passive correction. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scoliosis correction training device with a simpler structure, lower manufacturing cost, smaller footprint, easier operation, ability to achieve correction in three dimensions, and long-term good correction effect.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a scoliosis correction training device, characterized in that it includes a door frame-type fixing frame, a retractable lateral correction arm, a column, an arc-shaped plate, and a retractable rear correction arm. The lateral correction arm is slidably mounted on both sides of the fixing frame. The inner end of the lateral correction arm in the fixing frame has a rotatable U-shaped pad. The column is located behind one side of the fixing frame. The rear correction arm is mounted on the arc-shaped plate. One end of the arc-shaped plate is hinged to the column and can slide along the column. The inner end of the rear correction arm has an arc-shaped lumbar pad. The front of the lumbar pad conforms to the physiological curve of the lumbar spine.

The pressure sensor is set in the U-shaped pad, the camera is set on the bracket and placed behind the fixed frame, and the display is mounted on the fixed frame.
[0011] The display described in this utility model is mounted on a fixed frame via a foldable bracket. One end of the bracket is fixed to the back of the other side of the fixed frame, and the other end extends to the front of the fixed frame to connect to the display.
[0012] The scoliosis correction training device of this invention includes a seat with an adjustable tilt angle.
