Description

Vertebral appliance embodying optimal three-point compression function and vertebral scoliosis management system using same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a spine appliance and a scoliosis management system using the same, and more particularly, to a spine appliance embodying an optimal three-point compression function and a scoliosis management system using the same.
Background
The spine is roughly classified into cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, and coccyx as a skeletal structure for maintaining the main skeleton of a human. The spine assumes an S-shaped curved shape when viewed from the side, so as to be suitable for upright walking by humans. However, due to modern living habits and the like, various spinal-related diseases such as cervical spondylodiscectomy, lumbago syndrome, spondylodiscectomy and the like are increasing.
Particularly, scoliosis, which is one of typical spinal deformities, is a "curvature" (curve) in which a "bent state" or a "bent state" is present in a human spine, and the curvature of the spine has a normal curvature that occurs in a normal person and an abnormal curvature that is not seen in the normal person.
This spondylolisthesis mainly occurs in the growth stage, and about half of all patients with spondylolisthesis are adolescents in the age range of 10 years. Although different measures are taken depending on the degree of lateral bending, the cases of deterioration frequently occur because the symptoms are not recognized or only a simple observation measure is taken. Therefore, the treatment of scoliosis aims to correct deformity of mild or more moderate curvature without further progression of mild curvature and to maintain the correction to achieve physical balance, thereby improving the function and beauty. When scoliosis is detected early, the development of severe curvature can be prevented by auxiliary methods such as wearing appropriate orthotics. However, the conventional corrective devices have a problem that they cannot effectively cope with the degree of deformation of a patient with scoliosis, and particularly, teenagers continue to grow up and, in the process, have a problem that they cannot effectively correct the spine. Further, since a patient who uses an inconvenient rectification appliance cannot be given a sufficient motivation to use the rectification appliance, there is a problem that the use of the rectification appliance is easily abandoned.

Detailed Description
The object and effect of the present invention and the technical constitution for achieving the same will be apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail later together with the accompanying drawings. In describing the present invention, a detailed description of known functions or configurations will be omitted when it is judged that the detailed description may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention. Further, the terms described later are defined in consideration of donations in the present invention, and may be different depending on the intention of a user or a convention of a user.
However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, and may be embodied in various forms different from each other. However, the present embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the present invention will only be defined by the appended claims. Therefore, the definitions thereof should be made based on the contents throughout the present specification.
Fig. 1 and 2 are views showing the back and front of a wearing example of a spinal appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the spinal brace 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a first strap 120 and a second strap 140. The first band 120 can be worn around a first portion of the spine to extend the spine (articulation) with the rise of abdominal pressure. For example, the first region may include a sacral region of the spine, in which case the first band 120 is worn around the sacral region to compress the abdomen, and thus, abdominal pressure may rise. The sacrum of the spine is composed of 33 vertebrae (vertebra) and 5 bones S1 to S5 located between the coccyx and the lumbar vertebrae (lumbar). The rise of the abdominal pressure reduces the load on the spine, so that the spine can be supported for the first time. The overall shape of the first band 120 may be embodied in a straight line surrounding the pelvis and abdomen including the sacrum. However, the shape of the case may be changed in various ways to improve convenience of use and aesthetic sense of the user. In fig. 1 and 2, the first band 120 is illustrated as being separated into two parts 120a and 120b with reference to the first portion and connected by a rope, but this is only one example and is not limited thereto. As will be described later. The first band 120 may be integrally formed. However, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the following description is limited to the example in which the first tape 120 is separated into the two portions 120a and 120 b.
The second band 140 performs a second support of the spine that is first supported by means of the first band 120. For this purpose, the second band 140 surrounds the second portion a2 of the vertebra and extends from the second portion a2 in a direction toward the two fixing points P21, P22 at which a bending moment (bending moment) is formed at the second portion a 2. The human spine has a cantilever beam shape between the upper body (trunk) and the pelvis (pelvis), and the shoulder fixing point P21 and the pelvis fixing point P22 serve as fixing points to support the spine, and thereby a bending moment can be generated at the second portion a 2. For convenience of description, two fixing points of the second band 140 may be referred to as a fixing point 21(P21) and a fixing point 22(P22), and two portions having a shape extending from the second portion a2 to the fixing point 21(P21) and the fixing point 22(P22) may be referred to as a flap 21(W21) and a flap 22(W22), respectively.
Fig. 1 and 2 are views in the case where the second site a2 includes a lumbar region of the spine. The lumbar spine of the spine is composed of 5 bones L1 to L5 among 33 vertebrae located between the sacrum and the thoracic vertebrae (spine). For example, the second portion a2 is disposed at a predetermined distance from the bending point of the lumbar spine in the direction perpendicular to the spine. At this time, the fixing point 21(P21) and the fixing point 22(P22) may be located on the shoulder and the pelvis, respectively, and the second portion a2 may form a supporting force together with the fixing point 21(P21) and the fixing point 22(P22) according to the three-point pressure principle (3points pressure principle) to press the bending point (arrow direction) of the lumbar vertebra. One of the flap 21(W21) and the flap 22(W22) extending from the second portion a2 to the fixing point 21(P21) and the fixing point 22(P22), respectively, extends to the first belt 120, and for example, the flap 22(W22) may extend to the first belt 120.
The first strap 120 and the second strap 140 may be embodied by stretchable materials capable of supporting or pressing the first portion and the second portion a2, respectively. For example, the first and second bands 120 and 140 may be embodied in a synthetic resin material having elasticity such as a stretched fiber layer, or in a form in which a silicone coating layer or a functional fiber layer is laminated on the surface of the synthetic resin such as the stretched fiber layer.
The first strap 120 and the second strap 140 may be provided in a connected manner or separately. However, in the case where the first and second bands 120 and 140 are separated, the three-point pressing principle for the bending point of the spine can be more effectively applied due to the rising supporting force of each band. The following description is limited to the example in which the first tape 120 and the second tape 140 are separated.
As described above, the spinal brace 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is embodied in an optimal shape that can form a three-point compression system, so that effective compression of a spinal curvature portion can be performed, and in addition, improvement in wearing convenience, wearing feeling, and the like of a user can be achieved.
Fig. 3 and 4 are views showing a first band and a second band of a spinal appliance according to an embodiment of the invention, respectively.
First, referring to fig. 3, the first strap 120, as described above, can be embodied in a straight line as a sacral strap generally viewed as encompassing the sacral region. The first strap 120 may include an abdominal strap 121 that encircles the abdomen and a pelvic strap 122 that encircles the pelvis. The abdominal belt 121 presses the abdomen to raise the abdominal pressure, thereby extending the spine (i.e., stretching), and the pelvic belt 122 presses the pelvis to support the spine. The pelvic girdle 122 can further enhance the supporting or pressing force by attaching or adhering one end of at least one tab of another girdle, as will be described later. The abdominal belt 121 and the pelvic belt 122 may be connected and separated from each other by a first length from one end in the first region direction. The first length may be a length capable of applying an optimal pressing force or supporting force to the abdomen and pelvis or a length set in consideration of convenience in use.
The first belt 120 is separated into two parts 120a and 120b based on the first portion, and the first pressing area 123 and the second pressing area 124 may be respectively located at one side of the separated parts 120a and 120b in the direction of the first portion. The pressing force applied to the first part or abdomen to the pelvis can be adjusted by varying the pressing force of the first pressing section 123 and the second pressing section 124 of the first band 120. For example, the separation distance between the first pressing section 123 and the second pressing section 124 may be adjusted, or the first pressing section 123 and the second pressing section 124 may be formed in a structure in which air can enter the inside, and the amount of air entering may be adjusted. To this end, the first strap 120 may include a pressing force adjusting part 125. In the present application, for convenience of description, the description is limited to the case where the pressing force adjusting part 125 performs the function of being able to adjust the separation distance between the first pressing section 123 and the second pressing section 124. However, without being limited thereto, the pressing force adjusting part 125 may be equipped with a structure such as an air pump capable of adjusting the amount of air of the first pressing section 123 and the second pressing section 124. The pressing force adjusting method of the first pressing section 123 and the second pressing section 124 or the embodiment of the pressing force adjusting section 125 based on the method can be applied to the pressing section and the pressing force adjusting section applied to the second belt 140 and the third belt 160, which will be described later.
The pressing force adjusting part 125 of the first strap 120 may include at least one pair of rope brackets 125_1 constituting a pair and disposed to be spaced apart, a rope 125_2 alternately placed on the at least one pair of rope brackets 125_1, and an adjusting member 125_3 adjusting the length of the rope 125_2 between the at least one pair of rope brackets 125_ 1. The rope holder 125_1 may be located on one side of the first position direction of the two-divided portions 120a and 120b, and may be located at the first pressing section 123 and the second pressing section 124, for example. The rope 125_2 may be embodied by synthetic resin having elasticity. The adjusting member 125_3 may be embodied as a turntable winding or unwinding the rope 125_2 or a pulley connected to one end of the connected rope 125_ 2. Fig. 3 illustrates an example in which the adjustment member 125_3 is embodied by one pulley provided at each of the abdominal belt 121 and the pelvic belt 122, but is not limited thereto. As described above, by adjusting the distance between the first pressing section 123 and the second pressing section 124 of the first band 120, the circumferential length of the first band 120 can be changed, and the pressing strength optimal for the user can be set.
When the first strap 120 is worn, the separated two portions 120a, 120b of the first strap 120 are connected by a coupling member (not shown) of the other end not connected by a cord, and can be worn as shown in fig. 2. For example, the coupling member (not shown) may be provided with a velcro (velcro) as shown in fig. 2, or may be a hook or a zipper, etc.
Referring to fig. 1 and 4, the second band 140 may be a lumbar band capable of applying pressure to a lumbar region. At this time, the second band 140 may be extended from the lumbar region in the direction of the fixing point 21(P21) of the two fixing points, i.e., the fixing point 21(P21) and the fixing point 22(P22), applying the three-point pressure principle to the lumbar, to be worn so as to surround the first-side shoulder region, and may be embodied in a shape extended in the direction of the fixing point 22(P22) to the first-side pubic region surrounded by the first band 120 of fig. 3. For reference, fig. 4 does not connect the shoulder line where the fixing point 21(P21) is located in order to illustrate the second strap 140 in a planar manner. As described above, the portion extending in the direction of the fixing point 21(P21) of the second tape 140 is referred to as a tab 21(W21), and the portion extending in the direction of the fixing point 22(P22) is referred to as a tab 22 (W22).
The first shoulder portion is the shoulder portion on the opposite side of the lumbar curvature as shown in fig. 1. For example, in the case where the lumbar vertebrae are curved in the left-hand direction and the second band 140 is worn such that the first pressing section 143 and the second pressing section 144 of the second band 140 are positioned on the left side, the first side shoulder portion surrounded by the wing 21(W21) represents the right side shoulder portion. The second band 140 includes a first pressing section 143 and a second pressing section 144, which are spaced apart from each other to adjust a pressing force applied to the second portion, as in the first band 120 of fig. 3. The pressing force adjusting part 145 adjusting the distance between the first pressing section 143 and the second pressing section 144 of the second band 140 is structured similarly to the pressing force adjusting part 125 of the first band 120 of fig. 3, and includes a rope bracket 145_1, a rope 145_2, and an adjusting member 145_ 3. However, fig. 4 illustrates an example in which the adjusting member 145_3 of the second belt 140 is provided in a turntable form.
The second belt 140 may further include a tab 23(W23) and a tab 24(W24) in order to increase the supporting force or the pressing force. When the second band 140 is worn, one ends of the flaps 23(W23) and 24(W24) may be connected to one ends of the flaps 21(W21) and 22(W22), respectively, via a coupling member (not shown in the drawings), as shown in fig. 2. In particular, wing 22(W22) and wing 24(W24) are combined at the pubic region, thereby forming an optimal three-point pressure system, which can increase the supporting force or the pressing force. The coupling member (not shown) may be provided with a velcro tape or the like.
Fig. 5 and 6 are views showing the back and front of another example of the spinal appliance according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the spinal brace 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a third band 160. The third belt 160 may be made of the same material as the first belt 120 or the second belt 140. The third band 160 may be extended from the third portion A3 of the spine in a direction toward the two fixing points P31 and P32 forming a bending moment with respect to the third portion A3, and may be worn around the third portion A3 by being extended to the first band 120 in a direction toward one of the two fixing points P31 and P32 and to the second band 140 in a direction toward the other fixing point. The two fixing points P31, P32 may be referred to as a fixing point 31(P31) and a fixing point 32 (P32).
The third portion a3 may include a thoracic or lumbar region, which is provided at a predetermined distance from a bending point of the thoracic or lumbar region in a direction perpendicular to the spine. The thoracic spine of the spine is composed of 7 bones T1 to T7 among 33 vertebrae located between the lumbar spine and the cervical spine, and the thoracolumbar region represents a portion of the lumbar spine and a portion of the thoracic spine, for example, T10 to L3. At this time, the fixing point 31(P31) and the fixing point 32(P32) may be located on the shoulder and the pelvis, respectively, and the third portion A3 may form a supporting force together with the fixing point 31(P31) and the fixing point 32(P32) according to the three-point pressure principle to press the bending point (arrow direction) of the thoracic vertebrae or the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae.
At this time, the three-point press system formed by the third belt 160 has symmetry with the triangular press system formed by the second belt 140. For example, when the three-point pressure principle by the second band 140 is applied by three points located in the left-side portion, the right-side shoulder portion, and the right-side pelvic portion from the bending point of the lumbar vertebra that is bent to the left side, the three-point pressure principle by the third band 160 is applied by three points located in the right-side portion, the left-side shoulder portion, and the left-side pelvic portion from the bending point of the thoracic vertebra that is bent to the right side. Therefore, the spinal brace 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention simultaneously compresses the vertebrae bent in different directions by means of the pair of three-point compression systems having the symmetrical structure, so that it is possible to realize stronger and more effective compression, which can help prevent the lateral bending of the vertebrae from further progressing.
Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating a third band of the spinal appliance of an embodiment of the invention.
If referring to fig. 5 to 7, the third band 160 may be a thoracic band capable of applying compression to a thoracic or lumbar region. At this time, the third band 160 may be extended from the thoracic vertebrae portion in the direction of the two fixing points that exert the three-point pressure principle on the thoracic vertebrae, i.e., the fixing point 31(P31) and the fixing point 31(P31) of the fixing point 32(P32), to the second band 140 of fig. 6, and may be worn so as to surround the second lateral shoulder portion, and may be extended in the direction of the fixing point 32(P32) to the second lateral pubic bone portion surrounded by the first band 120 of fig. 6. The portion extending in the direction of the fixing point 31(P31) of the third tape is referred to as a tab 31(W31), and the portion extending in the direction of the fixing point 32(P32) is referred to as a tab 32 (W32).
The second lateral shoulder region is, as shown in fig. 5, a shoulder region on the opposite side to the curved side of the thoracic vertebrae. For example, in the case where the thoracic vertebrae is bent in the right direction and the third band 160 is worn such that the first pressing section 163 and the second pressing section 164 of the third band 160 are positioned on the right side, the second side shoulder portion surrounded by the wing pieces 31(W31) represents the left side shoulder portion. The third band 160, like the second band 140 of fig. 4, also includes a first compression region 163 and a second compression region 164, which are spaced apart at an adjustable distance to adjust the compression force applied to the thoracic region. The pressing force adjusting part 165 adjusting the distance between the first pressing section 163 and the second pressing section 164 of the third belt 160 is structured similarly to the pressing force adjusting part 145 of the second belt 140 of fig. 4, and includes a rope bracket 165_1, a rope 165_2, and an adjusting member 165_ 3. Fig. 7 illustrates an example in which the adjusting member 165_3 of the third belt 160 is provided in a turntable form.
The third belt 160 may further include a tab 33(W33) and a tab 34(W34) in order to increase the supporting force or the pressing force. When the third strap 160 is worn, the flap 33(W33) may be attached to the second strap 140 and the flap 34(W34) may be attached to the first strap 120. At this time, as shown in fig. 6, the connection portions of the tabs 33(W33) and 34(W34) with the first tape 120 and the second tape 140 and the connection portions of the tabs 31(W31) and 32(W32) with the first tape 120 and the second tape 140 are symmetrically arranged, so that an optimum three-point pressing system is formed, and the supporting force or the pressing force can be increased. The coupling member (not shown) may be provided with a velcro tape or the like.

Referring to fig. 9, third band 160 may further include a compression sensor CSEN that is attachable to and detachable from first compression zone 163 or second compression zone 164. The pressing sensor CSEN senses the pressing force applied to the pressing zone. The pressing sensor CSEN may be embodied in correspondence with the shape of the first pressing section 163 or the second pressing section 164, for example, may be embodied in a sheet (sheet) shape. However, without being limited thereto, the pressing sensor CSEN may be provided by a plurality of sensors distributed to be spaced apart from each other at the first pressing zone 163 or the second pressing zone 164. The communication module CM may transmit the compression information sensed by the compression sensor CSEN to a mobile device-installed application program of the user or a scoliosis management system (not shown) using the spinal appliance 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The communication module CM is detachable and may be disposed adjacent to the pressure sensor CSEN.
The prosthetic AID may be attached to a location corresponding to a flexion site of the user. For example, in the case of curvature of thoracic vertebra T7, a prosthetic AID may be attached to an intermediate portion of first compression zone 163 and second compression zone 164, and in the case of curvature of thoracic vertebra T11, a prosthetic AID may be attached to a lower portion of first compression zone 163 and second compression zone 164.
The first compression zone 163 and the second compression zone 164 are embodied in a bag shape, into which the compression sensor CSEN, the communication module CM or the prosthesis AID may be inserted.
Fig. 9 illustrates a case where the compression sensor CSEN and the communication module CM are attached to the first compression zone 163 and the prosthesis AID is attached to the second compression zone 164 for convenience of explanation, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the first compression zone 163 and the second compression zone 164 may include the compression sensor CSEN, the communication module CM and the prosthesis AID.
