CZ274095A3 - Dynamic correction trunk orthopedic corset - Google Patents

Abstract

This dynamic correction body support with one-side fastening is designed so that the pelvic ring (1) is connected to the thorax ring (6) by a dorsally located joint (4), preferably multiaxial.<IMAGE>

Description

Technical field

The invention relates to a dynamic correction of torso orthosis. used to correct unwanted spine curvature.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The hitherto known corrective torso orthoses are static and consist of a non-divided shell of plastics, composite materials, and fulled leather, which are shaped according to the human torso so that at the required places creates the required pressure to correct unwanted curvature of the spine. manufactured as an assembly of individual sleeves and parts so as to form a stationary unit. The hitherto known dynamic torso brace does not allow movement in the true sense of the word. It consists of a front and rear rigid splint and a few solid fuselage halves. An elastic bandage acts against each rigid sleeve and at the same time against unwanted curvature of the spine, which causes a certain loosening of the torso compared to completely rigid shell torso orthoses. This dynamic torso brace is only suitable for the treatment of curvature of the spine, where it is sufficient to apply low pressures for correction. Another dynamic correction trunk brace according to fr. No. 2,644,692 consists of a pelvic sleeve and a split chest sleeve interconnected by a pair of laterally resilient splints, which are located on the left and right sides. Due to the elastic properties of the splints, lateral sliding movement, or rather lateral sliding biasing, can occur and thus affect the scoliosis curve. Due to the possibility of affecting the muscles and joints, this device also appears to be rigid compared to the dynamic corrective torso orthosis.

The disadvantage of static corrective torso orthoses is the posture only in an upright posture. The usual long-term application of this orthopedic device leads to weakening of the trunk muscles, decrease of the spinal movement and significant

- 2 mobility limitations during normal daily tasks.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

These drawbacks are largely eliminated by the dynamic corrective torso orthosis, the essence of which is that the sleeve is by means of one with a one-sided fastening, the pelvic sleeve being connected to the thoracic joint, positioned dorsal to allow for bows. The pelvic sleeve fixates the pelvis and can create pressure as needed to correct for unwanted lumbar curvature of the spine. A separate chest section can _: correct undesirable curvature of the thoracic spine. Joint; which connects the two portions of the lumbar portion of the trunk body, is preferably multiple, allowing and defining the movement of the lumbar region bows between the pelvic and thoracic panels. The pelvic or thoracic sleeve can be shaped such that, simultaneously with the bows, the pressure pellets are pulled or released, allowing the position of the torso holding and damping of the movement of the multiaxial joint to be adjusted accordingly. A suitable independent damping element can be attached to the multiaxial joint to influence the dynamics of walking in the corset. The front portion of the dynamic torso orthosis of the present invention is said in a conventional manner by a bandage so as to allow fit and attachment. A further advantage of the dynamic corrective torso of the invention is that the arms of the multi-axis joint can be dimensioned as resilient splints, so that the torso brace of the invention allows little movement to bend, tilt and rotate the torso. In the same way it can be solved. a dynamic correction-torso brace that exerts pressures only in the lumbar region, or only in the thoracic region / and 'both' in the undesirable curvature of the spine in the frontal plane and in the IV sagittal plane.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

1 and 2 show a particular embodiment of a dynamic correction torso brace according to the invention. The pelvic sleeve 7 with the lumbar correction pad 2 is rigidly connected to the multiaxial joint 4 by means of the lower plate 3 and the screws 4. The thoracic sleeve 6 with the thoracic correction pads 2 is firmly connected to the vlceosye joint 4 by the upper plate 7 and the screws 5 in place <,: · lumbar pads 2 incised, reconnected by screw 1JL λ fastened

as a conventional torso brace to allow the corset to be attached and secured with a suitable bandage. The fastening band 8 of the front part of the torso orthosis serves to unilaterally limit the rotation so that the necessary pressures for correcting the spine in the thoracic part are maintained, especially in the treatment of larger curvature of the spine. Pelvic sleeve S

1 and the chest sleeve are made of linear polyethylene, the lower plates 3 and the upper plates 7 of the multiaxial joint 4 are made of carbon composite, the other parts of the joint 4 are steel. A damping element 9 is attached to the multiaxial joint 4 by which the dynamics of walking in the corset can be influenced.

Industrial applicability

. Dynamic body correction brace. . can be used in health care as an orthopedic aid especially for the treatment of scoliosis.
