9 results about "Thoracic vertebrae" patented technology

In vertebrates, thoracic vertebrae compose the middle segment of the vertebral column, between the cervical vertebrae and the lumbar vertebrae. In humans, there are twelve thoracic vertebrae and they are intermediate in size between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae; they increase in size going towards the lumbar vertebrae, with the lower ones being a lot larger than the upper. They are distinguished by the presence of facets on the sides of the bodies for articulation with the heads of the ribs, as well as facets on the transverse processes of all, except the eleventh and twelfth, for articulation with the tubercles of the ribs. By convention, the human thoracic vertebrae are numbered T1–T12, with the first one (T1) located closest to the skull and the others going down the spine toward the lumbar region.

Device for treating vertebral deformities

PCT designated stageWO2026099519A1Internal osteosythesisSpinal columnPedicle screw fixation
The present invention relates to a device for treating vertebral deformities, consisting of two rods (1 ), suitably curved to correct the deformity, which are attached by means of pedicle screws (2) at the level of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, comprising a plurality of segments (6, 3, 8), aligned and joined by a bushing (4), equipped with a transversal pin (7) that delimits the separation movement of the respective consecutive segments coupled thereto and, between two consecutive bushings (4), a bushing (5) sliding on the intermediate segment (3) on which it is mounted. A tightener (10) connects the first upper segment (6) forming each rod (1 ) to the last lower segment (8), passing through all the intermediate segments (3) and is provided with a tightening means that keeps all the segments aligned to form a rigid rod, and a loosening means that allows the separation between the segments and the displacement of the bushings (5) along the segment (3) on which they are mounted, so that the rod (1 ) can be lengthened to allow the patient's growth and the anteroposterior movement of the spine.

Vibration counterweight dummy for simulating real person vibration test

The invention provides a vibration counterweight dummy for simulating a real person vibration test, and relates to the technical field of vibration environment tests, the vibration counterweight dummy comprises a thoracic vertebra plate, the thoracic vertebra plate, a thoracic vertebra top connecting plate, a shoulder joint plate, a rib plate and a thoracic vertebra bottom connecting plate jointly form a chest assembly; a lumbar vertebra rubber column, a lumbar vertebra force sensor, a lumbar vertebra bottom connecting plate and a lumbar vertebra top connecting plate jointly form a lumbar vertebra assembly. The pelvic bone block, the pelvic bone connecting plate and the leg connecting rod jointly form a hip component; the top of the thoracic vertebra top connecting plate, the outer sides of the two shoulder joint plates and the bottoms of the two leg connecting rods are fixedly provided with balance weight bodies, mass distribution, mechanical response and posture changes of a real person in a vibration environment can be truly simulated through the synergistic effect of structural bionic, precise balance weight, real-time monitoring and safety early warning, and the problem that in a vibration environment test, the vibration environment is poor in vibration performance is solved. The problems that a traditional dummy model is simple in balance weight adjustment, poor in mass center matching and lack of state monitoring, and complex test requirements are difficult to meet are solved.

Millimeter wave radar contactless gait analysis method for spinal degeneration and instability

The application relates to a millimeter wave radar non-contact gait and body analysis method and device for spinal degeneration and instability, wherein the method comprises the following steps: millimeter wave radars are arranged on the front side and the rear side of the walking path of a subject, echo signals are collected when the subject performs straight walking, axial rotation and forward and backward bending actions, and a sub-millimeter precision point cloud atlas is generated. Based on spinal anatomical landmark points and body surface contour curvature extrema, the point cloud atlas is divided into rigid motion units such as cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and sacral and pelvic units, and the spatial position sequence and the Euler angle sequence of six degrees of freedom of each unit are extracted. By calculating the relative displacement vector and the rotation angle between adjacent segments, three-dimensional intervertebral motion time sequence signals are generated, a thoracolumbar motion trajectory spherical projection map is constructed, and the segment motion characteristics in the gait phase are analyzed. The application dynamically captures sub-millimeter three-dimensional intervertebral data non-contact, accurately quantifies hidden instability, compensation and locates responsible segments.

A method and system for scoliosis end vertebra identification

The present application relates to the technical field of vertebral body recognition, and provides a scoliosis end vertebra recognition method, which comprises the following steps: S1: inputting original image data into a vertebral body recognition division model to obtain labeled image data after vertebral body recognition; S2: calculating the vertebral body angles between all the vertebral bodies of thoracic vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae in the labeled image data, taking the maximum value in the vertebral body angles as a first Cobb angle, and taking the two vertebral bodies corresponding to the first Cobb angle as a first Cobb angle upper end vertebra and a first Cobb angle lower end vertebra; S3: judging the overall shape of the spine part, calculating a second Cobb angle and a third Cobb angle according to the overall shape, and obtaining end vertebrae corresponding to the second Cobb angle and the third Cobb angle. Compared with the traditional manual labeling method, the measurement speed is fast, the recognition accuracy is high, it is more suitable for large-scale data processing, and the operation process of the user is simplified.
