Generally, the neck disk (cervical herniated nucleus pulpususdisc) is referred to as "neck disk" hereinafter) refers to a cervical disc (disc) is sudden external stimuli or age increases with a decrease in water degenerative changes caused by elasticity Is a symptom caused by the loss of internal hardened nucleus due to hardening and cracking of the wall of the intervertebral disc. It is also caused by trauma.

This neck disc is the most common symptom of the neck and upper shoulder pain. Pain and weakness of the shoulder and arm may occur depending on the area where the disease occurs. In severe cases, damage to the spinal cord may cause weakness of the leg or paralysis. Although it is necessary to treat it through surgery, it is common to take measures to alleviate the symptom and improve the symptom in the early stage by appropriately administering medication and physiotherapy.

Also, in such cases, most of the patient's neck forms a diagonal neck.

Conventionally, there has been developed a pouch-shaped orthodontic appliance for correcting the above-mentioned diagonal to a steady state, but it has a problem that it can not be repeatedly calibrated during normal life or exercise of the patient.

Accordingly, in recent years, it is required to develop a technique for correcting the cause of the neck disk in daily life.

Therefore, the length of the first and second pipes 211 and 212 can be variably adjusted by fitting the position fixing member 212a into any one of the position fixing holes h.

Of course, when the third pipe 213 is further formed at the lower end, the position fixing hole h is also formed, and the position fixing member 231a is provided.

5, the larynx support member 230 according to the present invention may be formed in a curved shape so as to surround and close the head larynx 11 of the patient 10.

6 is a view showing another example of the laryngeal support member according to the present invention.

6, the larynx support member 240 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the head larynx 11 of the patient 10. [

The laryngeal support member 240 may include a support member 231 installed at an upper end of the reference rod 210 and a support member 231 surrounding the support member 231, And a contact member 242 which closely contacts the head larynx 11.

Here, the contact member 242 may be detachably attached to the support member 241.

The contact member 242 may be formed of a resilient material such that the contact member 242 closely contacts the shape of the head larynx 11 of the patient 10, May be formed of a rigid member having a contact surface corresponding to the contact surface.

In addition, the laryngeal support members 230 and 240 according to the present invention configured as described above may be detachably installed at the upper end of the reference rod 210.

Accordingly, the laryngeal support members 230 and 240 can be easily replaced according to the patient 10.

The method of attaching and detaching can be a fastening method using a bolt and a nut, a fitting method, or an all-attaching method other than a detachment method.

Next, a point-of-day calibration method using the point-of-the-way apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3. Fig.

The support sheet portion 100 according to the present invention is installed on the back of the patient 10.

The adhesive sheet 110 is disposed so as to be in close contact with the back surface of the patient 10 and binds the fixing member 120 constituted by a plurality of binding strings to surround the shoulder and the body 13 of the patient 10.

Further, the fixing member 120 is bound so that the adhesive sheet 110 is forcedly adhered to the back of the patient 10 and fixed.

At this time, the reference bar 210 is vertically disposed on the rear side of the adhesive sheet 110 along the neck 12 of the patient 10 and the head direction.

Here, the laryngeal support member 230 is installed at the upper end of the reference rod 210.

At this time, the larynx support member 230 provided at the upper end of the reference rod 210 is disposed to be positioned at the head larynx 11 of the patient 10.

Thus, the position between the laryngeal support member 230 and the reference rod 210 is located behind the neck 12 of the patient 10.

The patient can change the posture so that the larynx 11 of the head is brought into close contact with the larynx support member 230 as shown in Figs.

At this time, the neck 12 of the patient 10 may be in a normal state of a C-shaped caliper rather than a straight line.

Accordingly, the patient is allowed to perform daily life including his / her head lid 11 in close contact with one side of the laryngeal support member 230, and at the same time, the larynx is repeatedly calibrated in a normal posture .

The patient is put on the support sheet portion 100 and the reference rod 210 fixed to the rear back of the adhesive sheet 110 and the head protruding forward from the rear support member 230 are in close contact with each other, , It is possible to exercise in the right posture and by using it continuously, it is possible to easily correct the head and turtle neck by bringing the head which is coming out forward to the right position.

6 is a view showing the operation of the position adjusting unit according to the present invention.

6, the reference rod 220 according to the present invention may be a cylinder having a stretchable shaft 221.

The calibration unit 200 further includes the position adjustment unit 300.

The position adjusting unit 300 includes a motor 310 for driving the cylinder to expand and contract the shaft 221 and a motor 310 installed at the upper end of the reference rod 220 for moving the neck 12 of the patient 10 And a laryngeal support member 230 for receiving the position of the neck 12 of the patient 10 from the sensor 320 so that the laryngeal support member 230 is supported on the head larynx 11 of the patient 10 And a controller (330) for driving the motor (310) to extend and contract the shaft (221) of the cylinder.

The sensor 320 installed at the upper end of the reference rod 220 recognizes the position of the neck 12 of the patient 10 when the patient 10 wears the support sheet portion 100 on the back.

The patient's neck 12 position recognition method acquires information about the head lid 11 and neck 12 of the patient and recognizes the position of the neck 12 and the position of the larynx 11.

The sensor 320 may be a distance sensor or a camera that captures the neck of a human body.

If the sensor is a distance sensor, the position of the larynx and neck is recognized based on the distance from the larynx to the neck, and after imaging the image of the larynx and neck in the case of a camera, Lt; / RTI >

The controller 330 receives the position of the patient's neck 12 and drives the motor 310 so that the larynx support member 230 is positioned at the larynx 11 of the patient 10, The shaft 221 of the cylinder is stretched and contracted.

Therefore, the treatment assist device according to the present invention has the advantage that it can be automatically adjusted to a position where it can support the head lid of the patient even if the patient has various body sizes.
