Description

Underwear for chiropractic [0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an undergarment for correcting a spine, and more particularly, to an undergarment for correcting a vertebra which enables a correct correction of the spine by wearing for a long time.

Scoliosis refers to an anomaly in which the vertebrae are not in a straight line, bent in one direction, protruding in one direction, and protruding in the other, when the examiner looks at the patient's backward view. In scoliosis, the flexion of the vertebrae is accompanied by rotation, and the whole body such as the pelvis and shoulder is twisted. Recently, interest in scoliosis has increased and there is a growing awareness of this.

Scoliosis can be divided into three types according to the etiology of the disease. Types of scoliosis include secondary scoliosis caused by diseases such as idiopathic scoliosis, spinal tumors, appendicitis, neurofibromatosis and poliomyelitis, There is functional scoliosis that occurs temporarily due to posture or habit.

In general, people who are walking upright may have a burden on the spine due to the action of gravity, which can lead to scoliosis. Recently, PCs and smartphones have been increasing in popularity, and many of them have maintained a wrong posture for a long time. Such a wrong posture adversely affects the spine, causing scoliosis and increasing scoliosis patients.

A person living in an upright posture can prevent spinal diseases as an attitude that adequately disperses gravity. This posture maintains the curvature of the vertebrae. When a person is standing or sitting, the vertebrae should be able to maintain normal curvature of the vertebrae, but the impact on the vertebrae can be minimized so that not only the vertebrae but also various vertebral pain can be prevented. In addition, functional scoliosis is a scoliosis due to a wrong posture, so proper posture alone can prevent scoliosis, and by wearing an orthosis, scoliosis can be treated. A study by the University of Iowa in the New England Journal of Medicine has shown that 72% of patients with scoliosis can be treated with the use of orthoses alone. The ancillary devices used for scoliosis are made of plastic, and they are worn like armor to keep the spine in the correct position. However, these orthoses may not only limit the activity of the prosthesis in the form of plastic, but may also damage the skin due to the friction between the liner and the skin. Even if the orthosis is worn in clothes, .

The body 10 surrounds the entire upper and lower abdomen of the body and tightens the abdomen to maintain the upper body straight. The main body 10 may be composed of a synthetic fabric including 80 to 90 parts by weight of cotton and 10 to 20 parts by weight of Coolmax, and may be formed as a double fabric. Coolmax is a fast-drying fabric developed by DuPont. The synthetic fiber constituting such a main body has no elasticity and is strong in durability and can support the waist firmly when worn like a plastic auxiliary device. Therefore, it provides a better fit than general plastics calibrators, but it has better correction than regular corsets using Lycra material.

The opening / closing means 20 is provided on the front portion of the main body 10, and may be provided at the center of the front portion. The opening / closing means 20 may include a plurality of fixing means 21 in the interior thereof. The opening and closing means 20 may be made of a zipper, and the zipper is moved while moving up and down, so that the undergarment of the present invention is worn while supporting the abdominal muscles of the user. The fixing means 21 will be described in detail below.

3 and 4, a throttle 30 is formed on a rear portion of the main body 10, and the throttle 30 can be adjusted so that the main body 10 can be more closely attached to the user's body A hole 31, a rope 32 and a third fixing means 33. [

A plurality of holes 31 may be provided in parallel on both sides of the throttle 30 and the ropes 32 may pass through the plurality of holes 31 to pull the ends of the ropes 32 at the bottom, . The rope 32 may pass through the entire hole 31 in a single string shape and the rope 32 may have a first rope 34 and a lower hole 31 passing through the upper hole 31 And a second rope 35 passing therethrough. The rope 32 is composed of the first rope 34 and the second rope 35 so that the tension of the rope varies depending on the condition of the abdomen and the pressure applied to the abdomen can be different, . The third fixing means 33 provided at the lower end of the hole 31 may include a plurality of hooks. Therefore, the wearer of the present invention can press and support the abdomen of the user by tightening the rope 32 of the throttle portion 30 after wearing the opening / closing means 20 by the user. In addition, the throttle unit 30 functions to disperse the pressure so that different pressures may be applied to the abdomen according to the movement of the user.

In addition, when the third fixing means 33 is fastened, tensile force is applied and the undergarment for vertebrae wraps the pelvis more strongly, so that the user's spine and pelvis can be corrected correctly.

On the other hand, the portion of the main body 10 where the throttle portion 30 is formed may be a mesh member.

The plurality of support rods 40 can be inserted and fixed in the vertical direction between the double end portions of the main body 10. The plurality of support rods 40 are closely attached to the body of the undergarment for correcting the spinal column, and are inserted in the up and down directions at regular intervals to provide a force to keep the spine correctly. The support base 40 is preferably made of a metal but is not limited thereto and may be any material capable of flexing while appropriately applying a force according to the movement of the body such as metal, ceramic, or plastic. May be provided adjacent to the left and right sides of the opening and closing means 20 on the front surface of the main body 10 and may be inserted from the middle portion of the opening and closing means 20 to the lower end thereof. Further, two of them may be provided symmetrically with a predetermined interval on the left and right sides, and the length from the upper end to the lower end of the main body may be fixed by a seam. One support frame 40 may be provided at the center of the rear portion and one support frame 40 may be provided at both sides of the hole 31 of the tightening portion 30. One support frame 40 may be provided on both sides of the tightening portion 30 . And one on each side of the main body. The support rods 40 can be inserted between the double fingers of the body and fixed with a seam.

The pelvic support 50 is formed at the lower end of the body 10, so that the user's leg is inserted. The pelvic support part 50 may be formed of a mesh member and does not restrict the movement of the leg while applying pressure to the pelvis as an elastic material. Such a pelvic support may be prepared by covering 30 to 40 parts by weight of spandex and 60 to 70 parts by weight of synthetic yarn with 70 to 80 fibers. Covering refers to the process of weaving a fabric so that the inner thread and the outer thread enter into the left and right together to knit, while the angle of each thread entering the knitted needle hole is varied to form the face of the cotton yarn contacting the skin, It means to form a skeleton. Spandex is a generic name for synthetic fibers made from elastic fibers of polyurethane fibers. Thus, the pelvic support portion has elasticity, while the portion contacting the skin provides a good touch with the cotton material. Since the pelvic support 50 has elasticity, it plays a role of supporting the spine and the pelvis together without restricting the activity when worn.

The pelvic support (50) wraps around and supports the muscles of the pelvic floor, gluteus maximus, and femoral muscle such that the pelvis is stabilized.

An opening 51 is formed in the pelvic support portion 50. The pelvic support part 50 is formed of a mesh member and has a good ventilation property. However, the ventilating ability is further improved by providing the opening part 51, and it is excellent in hygienic aspect and has the advantage of reducing restriction of movement.

Referring to FIG. 2, a plurality of fixing means 21 is provided in the opening / closing means 20. The plurality of fastening means 21 disperses the tension of the opening and closing means 20 so that the undergarment for calibrating the spine can apply force to the abdomen continuously even with the pressure of the abdominal portion and assists the opening and closing means 20.

The first and second fastening means 22, 23 may be formed of a plurality of hooks and are fixed by engagement of the hooks.

As shown in the figure, a plurality of support rods 40 and a throttle 30 are formed on a rear surface of the main body 10. When the user wears the underwear of the present invention, the rope 32 of the tightening portion 30 is tightened after wearing the opening and closing means 20, so that the spine can be supported even more strongly. In addition, the hole 31 of the tightening portion 30 may be formed of a metallic eyelet, and when the underwear of the present invention is worn, a stimulus may be applied by applying pressure to the spinal canal. Spinal muscles are muscles located in the back of the spine, which can prevent spinal diseases if the muscles are strengthened. A support base 40 is formed at the center of the main body 10 inside the tightening portion 30 and coincides with the spine portion when worn.

Hereinafter, the effect of the present invention will be described in more detail through an embodiment of the undergarment for correcting a spinal column of the present invention.
