Description

Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention aims to fix the neck of patients suffering from whiplash or asthma by adjusting a support frame that is adjustable in bending and has a restoring force. This invention relates to a cervical orthosis whose force can be freely adjusted.

Conventionally, various trunk braces have been used for the purpose of external fixation of the eyes (11. However, in this case, the required fixation force varies depending on the degree of disability of the patient, and although the fixation force is designed to be adjusted with a single fixation brace, it is unavoidable to use other braces. In some cases, they had to be replaced, which was uneconomical.

Furthermore, although the support of the head and occipital tubercle has been considered the most important when performing analogical fixation, it has been found that depending on the type of disease, there is no need to rely so much on its support.

On the other hand, by insisting on fixing one head, not only will it be inconvenient to have daily meals and conversations, but the lever-like physical stimulus with the 11m part as a fulcrum will be applied to the lesion, which will actually worsen the symptoms. It also has a negative impact psychologically.

Furthermore, when the patient sleeps, the support of the occipital tuberosity creates a feeling of pressure on the back of the head between the pillow and the pillow, which may disturb sleep.

Furthermore, conventional braces have many parts that come into close contact with the cervical vertebrae, causing discomfort and trouble due to heat sensation, sweating, etc., especially in the summer, and have other disadvantages such as being undesirable in terms of hygiene.

The present invention was invented in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. form.

(b) Attach an IP shock absorbing material (2) such as a hard spout/ji to the inside of the main body (1).

(c) The inside of the cheek rest (3) (3) has a shock absorbing groove (2a).
:) Take advantage of (2a) and take out the support frame (4) (4) which has the ability to adjust the bending and has restoring force on the outside of the cheek support (3) (3), and the support frame (4). (4) (4
) are attached to both sides of the front of the main body (1) using fasteners (5) (5) or rivets.

(d) Attach chest plates (6) (6) to both sides of the front part of the main body (1), which are provided with locking means such as a maji kuteb (not shown).

(e) There are bins (7) for straps on both sides of the front of the main body (1).
I can ask about (7).

(f) Place the occipital support (9) on the upper part of the support frame (8) at a height lower than the patient's occipital tubercle, +t=
Provide a slight gap between the fitting and the fitting (5a), and attach it so that the angle can be changed freely.

(1.) At the back of this f4ζ (1), a support frame (8
) can be removed using the fittings (5) (5) or rivets.

(f-) Several holes (10
) Attach the band (11).

Since the present invention has the following structure, when using this, the main body (1) of the cervical spine brace (A) of the present invention is held with both hands from behind the patient who requires cervical spine fixation. Open it, place the curved surface on both shoulders, and fasten the chest plates (6) (6) with Velcro or the like (not shown). Pass the band (11) through from both sides, and insert the hole (10) that can be tightened appropriately into the band hook (7) (7). In principle, the occipital support (9) should not support the patient's occipital tuberosities.
The height of 9) should be below the posterior tuberosity. This is about the same height as the conventional fixing collar "Borine Ri".

The support frames (4) (4) are adjusted so that the cheek rests (3) (3) can exert an appropriate fixing force on the cheeks.

The state in which the cervical orthosis (A) of the present invention is worn is shown in Figures 5-1 and 6. Buccal rests (3) (3) and prefix rests (9);--Thus, all movements of the cervical vertebrae are restricted.

The main body (1) of the present invention is made of a thin stainless steel plate, synthetic resin, etc., and the supporting frame (4) (4), (8) is a bent J.
Since it is made of a material that can be adjusted to 1 or 4 and has a restoring force, such as aluminum pipe, the fixing force can be freely changed by adjusting the length by bending it by hand. This means that if the patient's symptoms are not good, there is no need for as much fixation force.
It can also be weakened depending on the symptoms.

When the cervical spine brace (A) of the present invention was installed on many patients requiring cervical spine fixation, all movements of the cervical spine, including forward bending, backward bending, lateral bending, and rotation, were restricted, similar to conventional fixation collars. It serves its purpose, is lightweight, easy to handle, and has a mouth that opens freely, so it doesn't interfere with eating or conversation.

In addition, since the area that comes into close contact with the skin is extremely small, ventilation is good, and especially in the summer, there is no heat sensation, sweating, etc., and there is no discomfort even when wearing it, and it is also highly effective in terms of hygiene. Demonstrate.

With the present invention, there is no need to take impressions of the cervical orthosis for each patient, and if all sizes are prepared within a certain range, it can be adjusted according to the patient's body shape and can be used as many times as needed. be.

Furthermore, since the fixing force can be adjusted depending on the patient's symptoms, the device can be used continuously until the patient is completely cured, and there is no need to replace it with another device. It is easy to install and remove, and because it is lightweight, it is very easy to install.

Furthermore, since the head and occipital tubercle are not fixed, the patient is able to eat and talk freely on a daily basis, which has a positive psychological effect.

Furthermore, since it does not support the occipital tuberosity, the patient can sleep soundly without feeling pressured on the back of the head between the pillow and the pillow.

Therefore, the present invention is! ! Excellent as a tr+ semi-fixed brace,
This is an invention with extremely high practical value.
