Description

Neck support

Technical Field

The utility model relates to an auxiliary wearing equipment especially relates to a neck brace.

Background

The neck support is an auxiliary therapeutic apparatus for cervical spondylosis, and can play a role in braking and protecting cervical vertebra, reducing nerve abrasion, relieving traumatic reaction of intervertebral joints, facilitating the regression and consolidation of tissue edema and preventing relapse. The neck support can be used for treating various cervical spondylosis, and is suitable for patients with acute attack stage, especially cervical intervertebral disc protrusion, sympathetic nerve type cervical spondylosis and vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis.

The neck support in the prior art is a kind of auxiliary treatment or auxiliary correction equipment, such as used for treating cervical vertebra diseases, or used for assisting to correct a person's wrong sitting posture, etc. The neck brace in the prior art is worn on the neck of a user and is an upward adjusting device or is adjusted upward based on a head-up point so as to achieve the purpose of lifting the lower jaw and keep the normal physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra of the wearer. It can be understood that the neck brace of the prior art is used for protecting and nursing the cervical vertebra, and cannot adjust the proper wearing posture according to the specific use scene, for example, when the user wears the neck brace to read or works against a computer screen, the neck brace supports the head of the user upwards, so that the user has difficulty in normally keeping the normal posture during reading. In other words, the neck brace of the prior art cannot be adjusted downwards and fixed at a certain angle according to the use requirements of the user when in use, and the upward adjustment of the angle is based on the normal state to fix the cervical vertebra so as to protect or correct the cervical vertebra to the normal physiological curvature.

The neck brace of the prior art is mostly a fixed structure or a structure which is fixed by upward adjustment based on a head-up state, that is, the neck brace of the prior art can only be adjusted upward or fixed at a specific wearing angle in the head-up state of a user, and cannot fix the head of a wearer at a low point. Therefore, when the user needs to lean down for use, the neck brace in the prior art cannot be worn for use, and when the user leans down, the pressure of the head can press the neck, thereby influencing the cervical vertebra health of the user. It is worth mentioning that the prior art neck brace is a head fixation device, i.e. when the prior art neck brace is worn by a user, the user's head is fixed by the neck brace at a certain angle, and the user is difficult to move. When the neck brace in the prior art is worn and used by a user for a long time, the fatigue of the user is inevitably increased, and the neck brace is not beneficial to correction.

On the other hand, when the user learns for a long time and sits and works, if the sitting posture is incorrect or the distance between the user and a book or a screen is too close, the myopia risk of the user can be increased, and the eyesight of the user is seriously influenced. The neck support in the prior art can only assist a user in stretching or treating cervical spondylosis, and cannot prompt the user to adjust the body sitting posture or the distance between the user and some objects in time when the user closely contacts the objects.

Particularly, in an epidemic situation environment where a social distance needs to be maintained, such as a hospital, a mall, or a school, where a certain social distance needs to be maintained, the proper distance can be maintained only by means of human isolation. However, the distance keeping mode is difficult to ensure that people are at proper social distance, and people cannot remind each other in an unattended place.

In addition, prior art's neck brace is when being worn by the user, can't satisfy the normal reading of user and work demand, and especially, the user is difficult to adjust the stadia when wearing, wears for a long time and can influence user's eyesight for the myopic risk of eyes.
