AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing post-operative neck and back shaping devices cannot maintain neck stability while allowing for moderate movement, leading to muscle fatigue, joint stiffness, and skin damage. Furthermore, long-term wear can cause muscle atrophy and nerve compression.

Method used

An adjustable neck support device was designed, which, in conjunction with a cushioning mechanism, allows patients to perform moderate movements while maintaining spinal stability through the cooperation of sliders, limiting rods, and airbags. This distributes muscle load and provides cushioning, reducing discomfort caused by prolonged immobilization.

Benefits of technology

Through appropriate movement design and cushioning mechanisms, blood stasis is reduced, wound healing is promoted, muscle spasms and pain are reduced, and patient comfort is improved. While maintaining the physiological structure of the neck, it reduces muscle strain and joint stiffness, thus improving patient comfort. It also prevents disruption of the physiological curvature of the neck, relieves muscle fatigue and joint stiffness, and reduces friction between the skin and rigid braces, thereby reducing the risk of skin injury.
