[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable scoliosis brace, including a main correction brace 1 and a height-adjustable auxiliary correction brace 6 above the main correction brace 1. The main correction brace 1 and the auxiliary correction brace 6 are connected and positioned by a positioning component. When in use, the main correction brace 1 is worn on the patient's waist. The position of the auxiliary correction brace 6 can be adjusted according to the patient's scoliosis position, and the positioning component positions the adjusted auxiliary correction brace 6, so that the auxiliary correction brace 6 can position and constrain the patient's spine, facilitating the auxiliary correction of the patient's spine by setting the main correction brace 1 and the auxiliary correction brace 6.
[0020] The positioning component includes a positioning plate 7, one end of which is fixed to the side of the corrective auxiliary brace 6. A positioning frame 8 is fixed to the side of the main corrective brace 1 at the position corresponding to the positioning plate 7. The positioning plate 7 is set and snapped into the positioning frame 8. After the patient wears this scoliosis brace, the corrective auxiliary brace 6 is positioned directly above the main corrective brace 1 by the positioning effect of the positioning plate 7, which facilitates the scoliosis brace to assist the patient in corrective treatment. In addition, the positioning plate 7 plays a positioning and guiding role in the process of adjusting the corrective auxiliary brace 6.
[0021] Both the main corrective brace 1 and the auxiliary corrective brace 6 are ring-shaped structures, which facilitates their wrapping around the patient's upper body to position the spine. Both the main corrective brace 1 and the auxiliary corrective brace 6 have adjustment ports on their sides, and fasteners are located near the adjustment ports. The size of the adjustment ports can be adjusted by the fasteners, making it easier for people of different body types to wear this scoliosis brace and increasing its applicability.
[0022] The fasteners include a restraint strap 2 and a limiting frame 3. One end of the restraint strap 2 is fixed to one side of the adjustment port, and the limiting frame 3 is fixed to the other side of the adjustment port. The restraint strap 2 is inserted into the limiting frame 3. The restraint strap 2 tightens the main orthodontic brace 1 or the auxiliary orthodontic brace 6, making it easy to fix it to the patient's upper body for use. The side of the restraint strap 2 is provided with a constraint member for positioning its end. The constraint member includes a Velcro surface 4 on the side of the restraint strap 2 and a Velcro hook surface 5 at the end of the restraint strap 2. The Velcro hook surface 5 is attached to the Velcro surface 4. The Velcro is used to fix the end of the restraint strap 2 and facilitate the use of the restraint strap 2. It should be noted that the constraint member can also be a buckle or other components.
[0023] The corrective brace 6 has a rotatable corrective positioning brace 9 on one side. Preferably, a hinge 10 is provided at the rotatable connection between the corrective positioning brace 9 and the corrective brace 6, and the corrective positioning brace 9 has an arc-shaped structure to facilitate wearing and fitting the upper body of the patient. The corrective brace 6 has a connector on its side for adjusting the angle of the corrective positioning brace 9. Adjusting the angle of the corrective positioning brace 9 through the connector facilitates applying different magnitudes of force to the patient's spine and can be adjusted according to the degree of scoliosis of the patient.
[0024] The connector includes a connecting strap 11, which includes, but is not limited to, an elastic strap or a fixing strap. One end of the connecting strap 11 is fixed to the side of the corrective positioning brace 9, and the other end of the connecting strap 11 has a connecting hole. Several connecting posts 12 are fixed to the side of the corrective auxiliary brace 6, and the connecting posts 12 are snapped into the connecting holes. By snapping the connecting holes at the end of the connecting strap 11 onto the connecting posts 12 at different positions, different constraints are applied to the corrective positioning brace 9, which is suitable for patients with different degrees of scoliosis and facilitates the use of this scoliosis brace.
[0025] This scoliosis brace consists of multiple parts. Patients with different body types can adjust it flexibly according to their needs, which can effectively improve the applicability of the brace and facilitate the corrective treatment of scoliosis. At the same time, this brace can apply different magnitudes of force to scoliosis patients, making it easy to set and use according to the patient's condition.
