Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable scoliosis orthosis. Background Technology

[0002] Scoliosis correction is an intervention that uses personalized treatment plans (such as bracing, physical therapy, or surgery) to adjust abnormal spinal curvature, improve posture, and slow disease progression. For mild to moderate patients, custom braces are often used in combination with Schroth therapy and other exercise training to restore spinal symmetry through biomechanical correction and muscle activation. The core goal is to reduce complications, maintain spinal function, and improve quality of life. Early screening and scientific intervention are particularly important. Schroth therapy primarily corrects abnormal spinal curvature and rib protrusion through breathing exercises, specific posture adjustments, and muscle activation. It utilizes breathing to expand the concave side of the chest cavity and balance the tension of trunk muscle groups, combined with mirror feedback in the treatment area and the assistance of instruments such as corrective rods and elastic bands to reshape symmetrical posture. Current therapies usually use wearable braces that conform to the lateral curvature line to assist in training. However, the resistance force of brace deformation makes the structure prone to fatigue during posture training, and maintaining posture requires the experience of the therapist. Patients cannot intuitively and effectively judge and use this as a basis for mirror correction, which makes the entire treatment process highly dependent on experience, and the shaping force of the brace structure is difficult to maintain. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that existing orthopedic methods are prone to structural fatigue during posture training and the treatment effect is highly dependent on experience. In view of the problems existing in the prior art, an adjustable scoliosis orthopedic device is provided.

[0004] The purpose and effect of this utility model are achieved by the following specific technical means: it includes a point frame, multiple point frames are provided, a hinge head is provided between the point frames, one end of the hinge head is interference fit with the point frame, and the other end is fixed with a ligament between the hinge head and the adjacent point frame, and the multiple point frames are arranged according to the points of the spinal vertebrae. One end of the point frame is equipped with an electrical contact, and a strip-shaped multi-touch screen is provided at the outer end of the electrical contact. The multi-touch screen is externally connected to a mapping board through a signal line. The screen touch position information of the mapping board corresponds to the touch position information of the multi-touch screen. The point frame clamps and fixes a traction shaft tube on the inner side of one end relative to the electrical contact. The two ends of the traction shaft tube are connected to a cylinder shaft and a pressure shaft that pass through each other. A shaft rod is inserted between the cylinder shaft and the pressure shaft. The shaft rod and the cylinder shaft are cylinder structures that provide outward resistance. The ratio of the maximum extension stroke of the cylinder shaft to the maximum extension stroke of the pressure shaft is 3:1. Side support plates and auxiliary support plates are respectively fixed to the outer ends of the cylinder shaft and the pressure shaft.

[0005] Furthermore: the mapping plate is an LED array light source assembly, and the multi-touch screen and the side of the mapping plate are provided with a slot structure for wearing.

[0006] A further preferred embodiment: the side support plate is a bent metal plate, and the side edge of the side support plate is fitted with an arc-shaped wing.

[0007] A further preferred embodiment: the sub-support plate is a strap-type fabric strap structure.

[0008] A further preferred embodiment: both the cylinder shaft and the pressure shaft are fixed with angled connecting ribs, and the connecting ribs are respectively fixed to the side support plate and the auxiliary support plate.

[0009] A further preferred embodiment: a groove is formed on the side of the traction shaft tube, and a side bracket is slidably fitted in the groove. One end of the side bracket is fixed to the pressure shaft, and the other end is sleeved and fixed to the cylinder shaft.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-4 The present invention will be further described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following embodiments are merely examples for implementing the present invention. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. On the contrary, any modifications and refinements made without departing from the scope of the present invention are within the patent protection scope of the present invention.

[0015] An adjustable scoliosis orthosis includes a point frame 1, multiple point frames 1 are provided, and a hinge head 4 is provided between the point frames 1. One end of the hinge head 4 is interference-fitted with the point frame 1, and the other end is fixed with a ligament 6 between it and the adjacent point frame 1. The multiple point frames 1 are arranged according to the points of the spinal vertebrae. One end of the point frame 1 is equipped with an electrical contact 9, and a strip-shaped multi-touch screen 7 is provided relative to the outer end of the electrical contact 9. The multi-touch screen 7 is connected to a mapping board 8 through a signal line. The screen touch position information of the mapping board 8 corresponds to the touch point information of the multi-touch screen 7. The point frame 1 clamps and fixes a traction shaft tube 10 on the inner side of one end relative to the electrical contact 9. The two ends of the traction shaft tube 10 are connected to a cylinder shaft 11 and a pressure shaft 14 that are arranged through each other. A shaft member 16 is passed between the cylinder shaft 11 and the pressure shaft 14. The shaft member 16 and the cylinder shaft 11 are cylinder structures that provide outward resistance. The ratio of the maximum extension stroke of the cylinder shaft 11 to the maximum extension stroke of the pressure shaft 14 is 3:1. The outer ends of the cylinder shaft 11 and the pressure shaft 14 are respectively fixed with a side support plate 2 and a secondary support plate 3. The orthosis is deployed at multiple points using an adjustable mounting frame 1. The left and right positions of the side support plates 2 and auxiliary support plates 3 on both sides of the mounting frame 1 can be adjusted by changing the clamping direction of the traction shaft tube 10. The mounting frame 1 is adhered to various curved protrusions on the patient's spine by adhesive bonding. After bonding, the mounting frame 1 is secured in the designated position by a wearable brace in the Schloss therapy. Then, a wearable multi-touch screen 7 is attached externally, and the screen of the multi-touch screen 7 is placed against the protruding position of the electrical contact 9 outside the brace. Through the contact between the electrical contact 9 and the multi-touch screen 7, the touch screen 7 collects the position information of the electrical contact 9 in real time. The mapping plate 8 is used as the mapping display end of each position information. The mapping plate 8 can be placed in any position for the patient or the therapist to view, providing the patient and the therapist with intuitive bending changes of the spinal points under various treatment postures. Meanwhile, the orthodontic device also reinforces the constraint force of the brace at various bending positions through the side support plates 2 and auxiliary support plates 3 set on both sides. The side support plates 2 and auxiliary support plates 3 are connected by the traction shaft tube 10, and the relative tension between the cylinder shaft 11 and the pressure shaft 14 is used to balance the tension force between the side support plates 2 and auxiliary support plates 3. When the support plate structure on one side and the support plate structure on the other side are affected by the bending of the body and abut against the support plate, the air pressure in the cylinder shaft 11 can provide the support plate with resistance in the opposite direction through the support plate structure on the other side. Thus, the constraint force of the support plate structure on both sides is balanced by the opposing force formed on both sides to enhance the orthodontic effect of the orthodontic device. The ratio of the maximum extension stroke of the cylinder shaft 11 to the maximum extension stroke of the pressure shaft 14 is 3:1, that is, the outward resistance of the cylinder shaft 11 is greater than the outward resistance of the pressure shaft 14 on the other side. By using the side support plate 2 as the support plate structure on the lateral bending protrusion, the relative maximum tension force of the side support plate 2 is used to ensure the orthodontic effect of the orthodontic device. This orthosis is based on Schroth therapy to provide targeted orthopedic training for postural therapy. It is used in conjunction with Schroth therapy braces to complete orthopedic restraints, thereby assisting in training and treatment and improving the applicability and practicality of the orthosis. Based on the above, the mapping plate 8 is an LED array light source assembly, and the multi-touch screen 7 and the side of the mapping plate 8 are provided with a slot structure for wearing, so that the light source on the dot matrix can directly map the dot information on the multi-touch screen 7, making it convenient for patients to observe. Furthermore, the side support plate 2 is a bent metal plate, and the side edge of the side support plate 2 is fitted with an arc-shaped wing 5. The relatively high-strength curved side support plate 2 can fit onto the protruding position on the curve of the patient's body, and the wing 5 fits into the curve to ensure the constraint area and constraint effect of the side support plate 2 after fixation. Furthermore, the sub-support plate 3 is a strap-type fabric structure that can be fixed to the opposite side of the side support plate 2 by wrapping and binding, so as to provide support in the opposite direction for the constraint of the side support plate 2.

[0016] Furthermore, both the cylinder shaft 11 and the pressure shaft 14 are fixed with angled connecting ribs 12, and the connecting ribs 12 are respectively fixed to the side support plate 2 and the auxiliary support plate 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder shaft 11, pressure shaft 14, side support plate 2, and auxiliary support plate 3 are further fixed by connecting ribs 12, which improves the connection strength of the cylinder shaft 11 and pressure shaft 14 in the axial direction and ensures the constraint effect of side support plate 2 and auxiliary support plate 3.

[0017] Furthermore, a slot is formed on the side of the pull shaft tube 10, and a side bracket 13 is slidably fitted in the slot. One end of the side bracket 13 is fixed to the pressure shaft 14, and the other end is sleeved and fixed to the cylinder shaft 11. A spring assembly 15 is fixed between the inner side of the pull shaft tube 10 near the shaft member 16 and the side bracket 13. The side bracket 13 and the spring assembly 15 provide elastic thrust in the axial direction for the two shaft members 16 and the cylinder shaft 11, that is, provide axial buffer force and elastic resistance force for the pulling activity of the pressure shaft 14 and the cylinder shaft 11, and further strengthen the resistance force between the pressure shaft 4 and the cylinder shaft 11.

[0018] During installation, the point frame 1 is placed at multiple points on the curved position according to the specific points of spinal curvature. The left and right positions of the side support plates 2 and auxiliary support plates 3 on both sides of the point frame 1 can be adjusted by changing the clamping direction of the traction shaft tube 10. The point frame 1 is glued to each curved and protruding position on the patient's spine by adhesive. The side support plates 2 and auxiliary support plates 3 set on both sides serve as the outer lining structure for the protruding and concave positions on the body's side arc, respectively. The side support plates 2, together with the wing plates 5, fit the arc. The auxiliary support plates 3 are fixed by wrapping and binding. After fixing, the brace of the Schroth therapy is worn. During posture training based on Schroth therapy, the relative tension between the side support plate 2 and the auxiliary support plate 3 is used to balance the tension between the cylinder shaft 11 and the pressure shaft 14, which serves as the traction force between the two side support plates 2 and the auxiliary support plate 3. When the support plate structure on one side and the support plate structure on the other side are abutted on the support plate due to the influence of posture bending, the air pressure in the cylinder shaft 11 can provide resistance in the opposite direction to the support plate through the support plate structure on the other side. In addition, the spring assembly 15 provides elastic axial thrust to both ends of the cylinder shaft 11 and the pressure shaft 14. Thus, the constraint force of the support plate structure on both sides is balanced by the opposing force formed on both sides, so as to strengthen the external constraint structure of the brace. During the process, a multi-touch screen 7 can be attached externally to the brace, and the screen of the multi-touch screen 7 can be placed against the protruding position of the electrical contact 9. Through the contact between the electrical contact 9 and the multi-touch screen 7, the touch screen 7 can collect the position information of the electrical contact 9 in real time. The mapping plate 8 is used as the mapping display end of each position information. The mapping plate 8 can be placed in any position for the patient or the therapist to view, so as to provide the patient and the therapist with intuitive bending changes of the spinal points under various treatment postures.

[0019] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
