Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spinal correction device technology, specifically a wearable active training device for scoliosis based on Schroth exercise therapy. Background Technology

[0002] Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is the most common type of scoliosis in adolescents, accounting for approximately 75%–80%, and predominantly affecting adolescent girls. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood, but epidemiological data shows that scoliosis and related postural problems are prevalent among children and adolescents. A recent survey conducted by the China Institute of Sports Science and Guangming Daily in six provinces and municipalities across China revealed that 68.7% of children and adolescents in my country have two or more spinal postural problems, and 80% have at least one. Specifically, the incidence rates of forward head posture, uneven shoulders, abnormal thoracic curvature (including kyphosis, scoliosis, flat back, etc.), abnormal lumbar curvature (protruding abdomen, hunched back, scoliosis, etc.), and pelvic tilt were 47.2%, 49.5%, 31.5%, 27.1%, and 40.1%, respectively. These data indicate that the prevalence of abnormal spinal curvature in Chinese children and adolescents remains high, necessitating effective prevention and intervention measures.

[0003] Currently, domestic scoliosis correction devices are mainly used as preoperative adjunctive therapy, and their designs largely focus on vertical traction, with relatively little attention paid to lateral and rotational forces. However, studies have shown that when the Cobb angle of the principal curve is less than 50°, the bending moment generated by lateral forces is superior to that of longitudinal forces, contributing up to 90% to coronal plane correction. Furthermore, as a three-dimensional torsional deformity, scoliosis is often difficult to correct in its overall shape with forces in a single direction. Therefore, designs relying solely on vertical traction have limitations in terms of treatment effectiveness.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a wearable active scoliosis training device based on Schroth exercise therapy. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wearable active training device for scoliosis based on Schroth exercise therapy.

[0006] A wearable active scoliosis training device based on Schroth exercise therapy includes a flexible support body and two arm extension holes on the upper part of the flexible support body. The lower left and right sides of the flexible support body are fixedly provided with mutually cooperating lumbar support parts, which are connected by a lumbar support fixing device. A chest support part is fixedly provided on the upper part of the lumbar support part and is fixedly connected to the flexible support body. A back adjustment device connected to the chest support part is provided on the back of the flexible support body. A thoracic spine correction device is detachably provided on the back of the flexible support body. A lumbar traction device is detachably provided on the lower part of the flexible support body.

[0007] Furthermore, the thoracic spine correction device includes a thoracic spine correction belt, and a thoracic spine correction belt fixing strap is fixedly installed on the back of the soft support body near the chest support portion. The thoracic spine correction belt and the thoracic spine correction belt fixing strap are detachably connected.

[0008] Furthermore, the lumbar traction device includes a lumbar traction belt, and multiple lumbar traction rings are evenly arranged on the lower side of the back of the flexible support body. Both ends of the lumbar traction belt are fixedly provided with lumbar traction buckles, and the lumbar traction buckles are detachably connected to the lumbar traction rings.

[0009] Furthermore, the lumbar support fixing device includes a waist belt and a waist belt buckle. One end of the waist belt is fixedly connected to one of the lumbar support parts, and the waist belt buckle is fixedly connected to the other lumbar support part. The waist belt and the waist belt buckle cooperate with each other, and the other end of the waist belt passes through the waist belt buckle and the two lumbar support parts are fixedly connected by the waist belt Velcro.

[0010] Furthermore, the back adjustment device includes two cross-arranged elastic shoulder straps, the upper ends of which are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper back of the soft support body, respectively, and the lower ends of the elastic shoulder straps are fixedly connected to the chest support via Velcro straps.

[0011] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The lumbar traction device includes a lumbar traction belt 12, and multiple lumbar traction rings 13 are evenly arranged on the lower side of the back of the soft support body 1. Lumbar traction buckles 14 are fixedly installed at both ends of the lumbar traction belt 12, and the lumbar traction buckles 14 are detachably connected to the lumbar traction rings 13.

[0027] In this embodiment, both ends of the lumbar traction belt 12 are connected to the lumbar traction ring 13 on the concave side of the lumbar spine via lumbar traction buckles 14, and the middle of the lumbar traction belt 12 is connected to the user's foot on the same side. Preferably, the lumbar traction belt 12 is an elastic tension band that can provide approximately 30.86 ± 1.58 pounds of traction force. The length of the lumbar traction belt 12 is adjustable. The user can select a suitable position of the lumbar traction ring 13 to fix the lumbar traction belt 12 according to the direction of lumbar scoliosis.

[0028] After wearing this device, the user, based on the core principles of Schroth therapy—rotational angular breathing training combined with three-dimensional correction—extracts four core movements from Schroth therapy: standing translational training, kneeling muscle cylinder training, lateral lying muscle cylinder training, and four-point training. By wearing this wearable active scoliosis training device and performing these exercises, the user can increase the strength of the concave muscles of the lumbar spine, slow down and correct the progression of scoliosis, and correct the overall shape of the user's spine.
