FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a component configuration of a cervical spine appliance according to some embodiments of the present application; FIG. 2 is an assembled schematic view of a cervical spine brace according to some embodiments of the present application; fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of a functional layer of a cervical spine appliance according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 1-3, in some embodiments, the cervical spine appliance 100 may include a support layer 140, a functional layer 120 fixedly connected to the support layer 140, and a bladder 130 disposed between the support layer 140 and the functional layer 120; the support layer 140 may be used to support and fix the functional layer 120 and the bladder 130. The functional layer 120 may be used to correct cervical vertebrae of a user and massage acupuncture points and muscles. The surface of the functional layer 120 remote from the support layer 140 includes a third region, which may be provided with a protrusion, corresponding to at least one of cervical vertebrae, muscles and acupuncture points of the user when the user is in a target state. The target state may be a state in which the user places the head and neck on the functional layer 120 in a predetermined posture. The air bag 130 can be inflated or deflated, when the air bag 130 is inflated or deflated, the height of the air bag 130 can be changed, the movement of the third area of the functional layer 120 and the protruding part arranged in the third area can be caused, so that the cervical vertebra of a user can be corrected, the cervical vertebra gap can be increased, or acupuncture points and muscles can be massaged, and the purpose of recovering the elasticity of the muscles can be achieved.

In some embodiments, the third region may include the first region 121, and the first region 121 is provided with the first protrusion 1210. When the user is in the target state, the first region 121 may correspond to the cervical vertebrae of the user, and the first boss 1210 is in contact with the cervical vertebrae of the user. In some embodiments, the first region 121 corresponds to the air bag 130, when the air bag 130 is inflated or deflated, the height of the air bag 130 changes, which causes the first protruding portion 1210 to move, and the movement of the first protruding portion 1210 causes the curvature of the cervical vertebrae of the user to change, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting the curvature of the cervical vertebrae and increasing the cervical vertebrae clearance.

In some embodiments, the third region may further include the second region 122, and the second region 122 is provided with the second protrusions 1223. The second region 122 may correspond to the deltoid muscle and/or the Fengchi point of the user when the user is in the target state, and the second raised portion 1223 may come into contact with the deltoid muscle and/or the Fengchi point of the user to massage the same.

In some embodiments, the third region may also include both the first region 121 in which the first protruding portion 1210 is disposed and the second region 122 in which the second protruding portion 1223 is disposed. When the functional layer includes both the first and second protrusions 1210 and 1223, it is possible to simultaneously perform cervical curvature correction and massage of muscles and/or acupuncture points on the user. In this embodiment, when the height of the airbag 130 is increased, the entire functional layer 120 would be caused to move, but since the first region 121 corresponds to the airbag 130 and the first region 121 does not correspond to the airbag 130, the first region 121 which is not in contact with the airbag 130 would remain substantially stationary due to the gravity of the head and neck of the user, and the height of the first region 121 which is in contact with the airbag 130 would change relatively, which finally results in a certain curvature between the first region 121 and the second region 122, and the cervical vertebrae of the user is corrected by the curvature formed by the first region 121 and the second region 122.

In some embodiments, the bladder 130 may be disposed between the support layer 140 and the functional layer 120, and the bladder 130 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the first region 121 of the functional layer 120; when the height of the airbag 130 is increased, the airbag 130 may cause the first region 121 of the functional layer 120 to move in a direction away from the airbag 130, and when the first region 121 moves, the first protrusion 1210 disposed in the first region 121 also moves, and the movement of the first protrusion 1210 may further increase the force applied to the cervical vertebrae of the user, so that the curvature of the cervical vertebrae of the user is changed, and the purpose of correcting the curvature of the cervical vertebrae of the user is achieved.

In some embodiments, the support layer 140 may be made of a strong and light material, and mainly functions to support the entire cervical spine corrector 100. For example, the support layer 140 may be a stainless steel plate, an aluminum alloy plate, a carbon steel plate, or the like.

In some embodiments, the first region 121 and the second region 122 may be ergonomically designed to have a shape that better fits the cervical spine of a human. For example, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the first region 121 may be configured to have a certain radian, so that when a cervical vertebra of a human body contacts the first region 121, the first region 121 is more fit to the radian of the cervical vertebra of the human body, thereby improving the experience of a user; the second region 122 may be flat so as to conform to the muscles of the human back. In some embodiments, the first region 121 and the second region 122 may be both arc-shaped surfaces, the arc-shaped surface of the first region 121 is slightly concave inward, and can better fit the radian of the cervical vertebrae of the human body, and the arc-shaped surface corresponding to the second region 122 is more flat and flat, and can better fit the back contour of the human body, thereby further enhancing the comfort level of the user.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the second region 122 may include an upper region 1221, and when the user is in the target state, the upper region 1221 may correspond to the user's wind pool point, and the second raised portion 1223 of the upper region 1221 contacts the user's wind pool point region to enable massaging of the user's wind pool point.

In some embodiments, the second region 122 may include a lower region 1222, the first region 121 being located between the upper region 1221 and the lower region 1222, the lower region 1222 corresponding to a deltoid region of the user when the user is in a target state. Similarly, the second raised portion 1223 of the lower region 1222 may contact the user's deltoid region to massage the user's deltoid.

In some embodiments, the first boss 1210 and the second boss 1223 may be integrally molded with the functional layer 120. In some embodiments, the first and second bosses 1210 and 1223 and the functional layer 120 may be assembled after being separately molded.

In some embodiments, the first protrusions 1210 may include a plurality of first protrusions, and the first protrusions may be uniformly or non-uniformly distributed in the first region 121, for example, the first protrusions may be symmetrically distributed corresponding to acupuncture points of a human body, or may be centrally distributed in a neck muscle position. For example, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the plurality of first protrusions may be symmetrically distributed about a certain axis as a symmetry axis, and when the user is in a target state, the cervical vertebrae of the user may coincide with the symmetry axis or the like, so that the symmetrically distributed first protrusions may simultaneously apply force to muscles on both sides of the cervical vertebrae to perform massage. In some embodiments, the second protruding portion 1223 may include a plurality of second protrusions, and the second protrusions may be uniformly or non-uniformly distributed in the second region 122. Preferably, the second protrusions may be symmetrically distributed corresponding to acupuncture points or muscles of the human body. For example, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the plurality of second protrusions may be symmetrically distributed about a certain axis as a symmetry axis, when the user is in a target state, the spine of the user may coincide with the symmetry axis or the like, and the symmetrically distributed second protrusions may simultaneously apply forces to muscles and acupuncture points on both sides of the spine to perform massage. The present application is not limited to a specific number of first protrusions and second protrusions. For example, one acupoint may correspond to one second protrusion, one muscle may correspond to one second protrusion, and the cervical vertebra part may correspond to one first protrusion. Or, a plurality of smaller second bulges can be arranged on one acupoint and one muscle in a gathering way, and at least two first bulges can be symmetrically arranged on the cervical vertebra part. As shown in fig. 3, the lower region 1222 corresponding to the deltoid muscle has four symmetrically disposed second protrusions, the upper region 1221 corresponding to the Fengchi acupoint has two symmetrically disposed second protrusions, and the first region 121 corresponding to the cervical vertebra portion has six symmetrically disposed first protrusions.

In some embodiments, the first protrusion and the second protrusion may contact with the skin of the user when the user is in the target state, and in order to improve the user experience, the shape of the first protrusion and the second protrusion may be set to a shape that is comfortable for the human body, for example, a circular arc shape, a polygonal shape, or other regular or irregular shapes. In some embodiments, the contact position of the first protrusion and the second protrusion with the skin of the human body can be set to have a certain radian, which can further improve the use experience. In some embodiments, the first protrusion and the second protrusion may be made of a material having a certain elasticity, which not only can ensure a sufficient pressing force, but also does not damage the skin of the human body. In some embodiments, the hardness of the material for manufacturing the first protrusion and the second protrusion is between 30 degrees and 60 degrees Shore C hardness. In some embodiments, the hardness of the material for manufacturing the first protrusion and the second protrusion is between 40 degrees and 50 degrees Shore C hardness. In some embodiments, the hardness of the material for manufacturing the first protrusion and the second protrusion is between 45 degrees and 50 degrees Shore C hardness. In some embodiments, the first protrusion and the second protrusion may be made of a rubber material.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the first protrusion may be a strip-shaped member, and the strip-shaped members may be arranged according to a certain rule, so that when the user is in the target state, the first protrusion may abut against the cervical vertebrae of the user along the length direction of the cervical vertebrae of the human body, and the whole cervical vertebrae of the human body is supported in a fitting manner, so as to correct the curvature of the whole cervical vertebrae. In some embodiments, the number of the bar-shaped members may be six, the six bar-shaped members may be divided into two groups, and the two groups of the bar-shaped members may be symmetrically distributed in the first region 121. When the user is in a target state, the two groups of strip-shaped components can simultaneously lean against muscles on two sides of the cervical vertebra. Further, the width of the strip-shaped component is between 6mm and 10 mm. Preferably, the width of the strip-like member is between 7mm and 9 mm. Preferably, the width of the strip-like member is between 7.5mm and 8.5 mm. The length direction of the strip-shaped member is a direction from the second region 122 to the first region 121. The width direction of the strip-shaped component is a direction vertical to the length direction. In some embodiments, the strip member may be an entire strip as shown in fig. 3. In some embodiments, a strip-shaped member may be formed by gathering a plurality of fine members into a strip shape, for example, a plurality of dome-shaped protrusions may be gathered into a strip shape.

In some embodiments, the second protrusion is used for point-contact massage on the acupuncture points and/or muscles. For example, the deltoid muscle is massaged by the second protrusions of the lower region 1222 and the Fengchi point is massaged by the second protrusions of the upper region 1221. For the above reasons, the contact area of the second protrusion with the skin of the human body cannot be too large, but at the same time, the contact position of the second protrusion with the skin of the human body cannot be too sharp. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the second protrusions are hemispherical members, which are more beneficial for performing point-contact massage on muscles and/or acupuncture points without damaging human skin. Further, the hemispherical member has a diameter of 6mm to 10 mm. Preferably, the hemispherical member has a diameter of between 6.5mm and 9.5 mm. Preferably, the hemispherical member has a diameter of 7mm to 9 mm. In some embodiments, the second protruding portion 1223 may also be provided as other types of protrusions, for example, a step-shaped protrusion, a columnar protrusion, and the like.

In order to facilitate the accurate correction of the curvature of the cervical vertebrae, in some embodiments, the cervical vertebrae of a human body may be divided into an upper segment, a middle segment and a lower segment; the first region 121 may also include an upper section, a middle section, and a lower section, which are connected in sequence. Wherein the upper section is connected with the upper region 1221 of the second region 122, the lower section is connected with the lower region 1222 of the second region 122, and the upper section, the middle section, and the lower section correspond to the upper section, the middle section, and the lower section of the cervical vertebrae of the user, respectively. In this embodiment, after the first region 121 is divided into three parts, the curvature of the first region 121 can be adjusted to be different by adjusting the curvature of the three parts of the first region 121, and the first protrusion provided in the first region 121 can correct the cervical vertebrae of the user. In some embodiments, the bladder 130 may also include a first bladder assembly 131, a second bladder assembly 132, and a third bladder assembly 133, wherein the first bladder assembly 131, the second bladder assembly 132, and the third bladder assembly 133 correspond to the upper section, the middle section, and the lower section of the first region 121, respectively. The heights of the three airbag assemblies are adjusted by controlling the inflation or inflation of the first airbag assembly 131, the second airbag assembly 132, and the third airbag assembly 133, so that the curvatures of the upper section portion, the middle section portion, and the lower section portion are adjusted accordingly, and finally the purpose of adjusting the curvature of the first region 121 is achieved.

In some embodiments, the at least one first projection may extend from the upper section portion to the lower section portion through the middle section portion. In some embodiments, some of the first protrusions extend from the upper section portion to the lower section portion, and other first protrusions may be disposed only on the upper section portion or only on the middle section portion or only on the lower section portion. In some embodiments, all of the first projections extend from the upper segment portion to the lower segment portion.

In some embodiments, the first, second, and third airbag assemblies 131, 132, 133 may be isolated from one another. For example, the first airbag module 131, the second airbag module 132 and the third airbag module 133 may be three separate airbag modules, and are sequentially connected and fixed by a connecting device (not shown in the figure) to form the airbag 130. In this embodiment, the three airbag modules are isolated from each other, so that the height of each airbag module can be conveniently controlled, and the curvature of the first region 121 can be more accurately adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of accurately correcting the curvature of the cervical vertebrae. In some embodiments, the first, second, and third airbag assemblies 131, 132, 133 may also be in communication. In some embodiments, the first airbag module 131, the second airbag module 132, and the third airbag module 133 may be connected by a connecting device and communicate between two adjacent airbag modules (e.g., the first airbag module 131 and the second airbag module 132) through a valve (not shown). For example, the first airbag module 131, the second airbag module 132, and the third airbag module 133 may be sequentially arranged and fixed on the same base plate, and adjacent two airbag modules are communicated with each other, and the three airbag modules constitute the airbag 130. In some embodiments, the entire balloon 130 may be divided into a first balloon assembly 131, a second balloon assembly 132, and a third balloon assembly 133, with communication between adjacent balloon assemblies. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the bladder 130 may also include three portions, a first bladder assembly 131, a second bladder assembly 132, and a third bladder assembly 133, to correspond to the upper, middle, and lower portions of the first region 121, respectively. In the present embodiment, by controlling the heights of the first, second, and third airbag assemblies 131, 132, 133 to be raised to be different, different curvatures can be formed between the upper, middle, and lower sections of the first region 121, so that the first region 121 can be formed to have different curvatures to adjust the amplitude of each cervical vertebra correction.

In some embodiments, the number of airbag modules may not be fixed, for example, airbag 130 may include two airbag modules, four airbag modules, or six airbag modules. The more the gasbag subassembly that the gasbag included, can control the curvature in first region more accurately, can correct user's cervical vertebra more accurately, increase cervical vertebra clearance.

In some embodiments, the cervical spine appliance 100 may further include an inflation assembly 150, and the inflation assembly 150 may be used to inflate or deflate the balloon 130 to change the height of the balloon 130. In some embodiments, the inflation assembly 150 may include an air pump (not shown) that may be in communication with the balloon 130 via an air tube, and the inflation or deflation of the balloon 130 may be accomplished via the air pump.

In some embodiments, the first, second and third airbag assemblies 131, 132 and 133 are separated from each other into three independent airbag assemblies, and the air pump may include three air pumps corresponding to the first, second and third airbag assemblies 131, 132 and 133, respectively, so as to independently control the height of each airbag assembly. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first airbag 131, the second airbag 132 and the third airbag 133 share a common air pump, the air tubes of the three airbag modules are connected to a manifold, the manifold is communicated with the air pump, and a valve is respectively installed on the air tubes of the three airbag modules to control the opening of the valve on the corresponding air tube, so that the corresponding airbag module can be inflated or discarded.

In some embodiments, one or more indicators of the airbag 130 may need to be monitored during operation of the inflation assembly 150 to ensure safe operation of the inflation assembly 150. In some embodiments, the one or more indicators of the bladder include at least the inflation pressure and height of the bladder 130. Wherein, the inflation pressure is a safety index of the operation of the air bag 130, when the inflation pressure of the air bag 130 is too high, it indicates that the air bag 130 is inflated too much, so that a safety hazard exists, and the safety performance of the cervical vertebra corrector 100 can be improved by monitoring the inflation pressure of the air bag 130. The height of the air bag 130 determines the movement amplitude of the first region 121 and the first protrusion, the height of the air bag is proportional to the inflation amount, the higher the height of the air bag is, the longer the first region 121 and the first protrusion move in the direction away from the air bag, the greater the movement amplitude of the first protrusion is, and the stronger the stimulation to the cervical vertebrae of the user is. Therefore, in order to correct the cervical vertebrae more accurately, the height of the air bag 130 needs to be detected.

In some embodiments, the cervical spine appliance 100 may further include a heating device for heating the functional layer 120. The heated functional layer 120 can perform hot compress on cervical vertebrae, acupoints and muscles to promote blood circulation, thereby facilitating recovery of muscle elasticity and curvature correction. Through the massage, point contact and hot compress effects on the acupuncture points and muscles of the cervical vertebra part, the blood circulation of the cervical vertebra part is accelerated, and the muscle health and the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra part are favorably recovered.

In some embodiments, the heating device may be an infrared heater 1224. The infrared heater 1224 has high heating efficiency, easy temperature control, and high safety. In some embodiments, the temperature of the functional layer 120 is heated too high or too low, which may reduce the user experience, and therefore, the temperature of the functional layer 120 needs to be controlled within a certain range. In some embodiments, the temperature range of heating is 45 ° to 60 °. Preferably, the heating temperature is in the range of 40 ° to 55 °. More preferably, the heating temperature is in the range of 38 ° to 50 °.

In some embodiments, the cervical spine appliance 100 may further include a skin contact layer 110, the skin contact layer 110 may be disposed on a surface of the functional layer 120 away from the support layer 140, and the skin contact layer 110 may cover the first region 121 and the second region 122. In some embodiments, the skin contact layer 110 may be provided with mounting holes adapted to the first protrusions and the second protrusions, and when the skin contact layer 110 is engaged with the functional layer 120, the first protrusions and the second protrusions may penetrate through the mounting holes to effectively fix the skin contact layer 110; the fitting holes allow the skin contact layer 110 not to obstruct the protrusions from contacting the skin when the first and second protrusions massage the muscles or acupuncture points. In some embodiments, the skin contact layer 110 is removably disposed on a surface of the functional layer 120 distal from the support layer 140. In some embodiments, the skin contact layer 110 is removably attached to the functional layer 120 and can be replaced after one or more uses, making it more hygienic. In some embodiments, the skin contact layer 110 may be made up of two parts, including a part corresponding to the first area 121 and a part corresponding to the second area 122, which parts of the skin contact layer 110 may be independently attached and detached. In some embodiments, the skin contact layer 110 is made of a skin-friendly material having certain elasticity, for example, a swimwear material (e.g., dupont lycra, nylon, dacron, etc.), artificial leather. Further, the skin contact layer 110 may be made of a material that is sweat resistant and easy to clean, such as a quick-dry fabric.

Other embodiments of the present application provide a cervical spine correction system 200, and the cervical spine correction system 200 may include any of the cervical spine correction devices 100, the height detection assembly 210, the pressure detection assembly 220, and the controller 230 of any of the above embodiments. In some embodiments, the air bladder assembly (including the first air bladder assembly 131, the second air bladder assembly 132, and the third air bladder assembly 133) and the air pump of one or more of the foregoing embodiments may be used in conjunction with the height detection assembly 210, the pressure detection assembly 220, and the controller 230. The height detection assembly 210 may be used to detect the height of the air bag 130; a pressure detection assembly 220, the pressure detection assembly 220 can be used to detect the pressure of the bladder 130; a controller 230, the controller 230 may be configured to control the inflation or deflation of the air bag 130 based on the height detection signal of the height detection assembly 210 and the pressure detection signal of the pressure detection assembly 220.

In some embodiments, the pressure detection assembly 220 can detect the pressure in the air bag 130, thereby ensuring the safety of the cervical spine appliance 100. In some embodiments, the pressure detecting component 220 may be a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor may transmit a detected pressure signal to the controller 230, and the controller 230 may control the inflation or deflation of the air bag 130 according to the pressure signal. In some embodiments, the height detection module 210 can detect the height of the balloon 130 and send a height signal to the controller 230, and the controller 230 can adjust the height of the balloon 130 based on the height signal to more precisely control the amplitude of each correction. Wherein the magnitude of the correction refers to the height at which the balloon 130 (e.g., the first balloon assembly 131, the second balloon assembly 132, and the third balloon assembly 133) is raised or the distance the first protrusion moves in a direction away from the support layer 140. The controller 230 may control the height of the air bag to adjust the first region 121 to the curvature required for the current correction, and when the user is in the target state, the cervical vertebrae is collided by the first protrusion, passively maintains the same curvature as the first region 121, maintains a certain correction time, and may gradually recover the curvature of the cervical vertebrae. In some embodiments, the flow rate of the gas is related to the height of the air bag 130, and thus, the height detection assembly 210 may be a flow sensor that determines the height of the air bag 130 by detecting the flow rate of the gas flowing into or out of the air bag 130. In some embodiments, the height adjustment range of the bladder 130 is 0cm to 10 cm. Preferably, the height adjustment range of the air bag 130 is 1cm to 9 cm. More preferably, the height adjustment range of the air bag 130 is 2cm to 8 cm.

In some embodiments, the cervical spine correction system 200 may further include a correction plan determining component 240, the correction plan determining component 240 may be configured to determine a cervical spine correction plan according to the physiological parameters of the user, and the controller 230 may control the air pump to inflate or deflate the air bag 130 according to the determined cervical spine correction plan. In this embodiment, the technician can make a correction plan adapted to different users according to individual differences of the users, and determine the magnitude and strength of the cervical vertebra correction, so as to gradually and more effectively recover the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra and the elasticity of the neck muscles of the users.

In some embodiments, the physiological parameter of the user includes, but is not limited to, age, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, body mass index, neck length, cervical spine condition, height, neck height, and the like. As shown in FIG. 5, the neck length refers to the distance from the lower edge of the ear to the shoulder position of the user, and the neck height refers to the distance from the foot to the lower edge of the ear when the user lies down or stands upright. The cervical condition refers to the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebrae, including shallow and flat cervical vertebrae (i.e. the cervical vertebrae begin to deform and the neck muscles begin to become stiff gradually), straight cervical vertebrae (i.e. the curvature of the cervical vertebrae becomes smaller), flat cervical vertebrae and the reverse curvature of the cervical vertebrae.

In some embodiments, the cervical spine correction plan content may include: the correction method comprises the steps of correcting times, correcting strength and correcting amplitude, wherein the correcting times refer to the times of current correction in the whole correction plan period, the correcting strength refers to the current correcting duration, and the longer the duration is, the higher the correcting strength is; the amplitude of correction refers to the height at which the balloon 130 is raised, and the higher the height at which the balloon 130 is raised, the greater the amplitude of surface correction.

BMI is a common measure of obesity and emaciation, and is calculated by dividing body weight (kilograms) by height (meters) squared, with typical BMI values between 20 and 25 being normal. BMI over 25 is overweight, while over 30 is obese. In some embodiments, the abnormal condition of the cervical vertebrae of the user is estimated according to the age, blood pressure and heart rate of the user, and the BMI index is calculated according to the weight, so as to determine whether the abnormal condition of the cervical vertebrae of the user is caused by over-fatness or cervical vertebrae deformation, thereby determining whether the cervical vertebrae of the user is in sub-health state, and further making a correction plan. For example, if a user is too fat, the curvature of the cervical vertebrae may be slightly larger than the normal curvature, and then the cervical vertebrae should be restored by losing weight. For another example, if the BMI index of a user is in a healthy range and the cervical vertebrae are abnormal as described above, it may be determined that the user needs to correct the cervical vertebrae.

In some embodiments, the strength and magnitude of the correction is different for users in different cervical situations. For example, for a user with a cervical reverse arch, even if the first protrusion has a movement distance (i.e., the elevated height of the bladder 130) of only 2cm, the user is already strongly stimulated. However, for a user with a cervical vertebrae in a shallow and flat state, even if the moving distance of the first protrusion (i.e., the height of the air bag 130) is 2.5cm, there is no great reaction. In addition, for a user with high blood pressure, the intensity of stimulation applied needs to be reduced, and therefore, the intensity and the amplitude of correction are relatively small.

In some embodiments, the remediation plan determining component 240 may process the physiological parameters of the individual using a machine learning model to derive a cycle, an intensity and an amplitude of each remediation of the remediation plan. Specifically, the physiological parameters and the cervical vertebra condition of the individual can be input into a pre-trained correction plan determination model, so as to obtain the period of the correction plan and the strength and amplitude of each correction.

In some embodiments, the cervical spine correction system 200 may further include a device terminal, which may be in communication/connection with the controller 230 of the previous embodiments, and a professional (e.g., a cervical spine correction system instructor, a correction physician, etc.) may input physiological parameters of the user through the device terminal. In some embodiments, the controller 230 may also communicate/connect directly with mobile devices (e.g., cell phones and mobile notebooks, etc.). For example, a professional may control the operation of the cervical spine corrector 100 through an application program corresponding to the cervical spine correction system 200 in a mobile device.

In some embodiments, the specific workflow of the cervical spine correction system 200 may include the following processes:

first, a technician inputs an individual physiological parameter of a user in a device terminal or a mobile device corresponding to the cervical spine correction system 200, and the correction plan determination component may order a corresponding correction plan according to the individual physiological parameter.

Then, the controller 230 receives the instruction related to the correction plan, adjusts the height of the bladder 130 so that the functional layer 120 reaches the current desired curvature, thereby correcting the curvature of the cervical vertebrae of the user, and at the same time, the first protrusions and the second protrusions massage the muscles and acupuncture points to restore the muscle function.

In the correction process, the state characteristics of the heart rate and the like of the user can be monitored, so that the safety and the correction effect are ensured. In some embodiments, the heart rate in the use process can be monitored through a heart rate monitoring device such as a heart rate bracelet and a heart rate clip.
