Description

{Scoliosis Brace}

The present invention relates to a scoliosis correction apparatus, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for correcting a scoliosis correction apparatus, which are capable of adjusting and adjusting a patient's angle and strength according to a patient's condition, The present invention relates to a scoliosis correcting device that can improve the therapeutic effect of scoliosis patients by providing a much more versatile correction method.

Scoliosis is not only an anomaly on the coronal plane where the vertebra is curved or deviated laterally from the axis of the anatomical center, but also a rotational deformity of the vertebral body and a three-dimensional anomaly in which the normal curved state is lost on the sagittal plane.

Methods for the treatment of scoliosis include orthodontic treatment, surgical treatment, shruth exercise, frequency therapy, and various exercise methods.

Conventional spine aids include a Milwaukee orthosis that rises to the neck, and a thoracic spine that goes under the armpit, and a variety of orthoses are still being made.

However, in the case of scoliosis, since there is a difference between the curvature of the vertebrae and the angularly rotated deformation of each patient, there is a limit in achieving a predetermined therapeutic effect only by wearing a spinal orthosis having a fixed fixed angle as in the prior art.

In addition, since the body grows when the patient is adolescent, there is a problem that the new manufacturing cost, time, effort, and the like are burdensome.

In addition, the angle of scoliosis may increase until the growth plate is closed, so it may be difficult to maintain the calibrated scoliosis angle with the existing strength alone.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is to provide a scoliosis correcting device capable of achieving the best therapeutic effect and exercise effect according to the cubic angle of the spinal curvature and rotational deformation of the scoliosis patient.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a scoliosis correcting device comprising: a fixed base; Two stationary supports connected to both sides of the stationary pedestal and spaced by more than a space that the user lays down; A plurality of movable belts supported by one of the fixed supports and capable of being moved; and a plurality of position fixing parts provided on the fixed supports for fixing the positions of the movable belts, respectively, Wherein the plurality of movable belts are respectively located on the two fixed supports and can be fixed in a diagonal or horizontally fixed position.

Further comprising a coupling portion for coupling the fixed base and the fixed base, wherein the coupling portion includes a coupling ring into which the fixed base is inserted; And a tightening member provided on the coupling ring and fixing the coupling ring to the fixed support, wherein the fastening member is loosened and the fastening member is fixed to the fixed support, The base can be folded and stored.

And may further include a pad capable of increasing the fixing strength.

Wherein the stationary support is provided at one side of the stationary support and has a hole formed at a center in a longitudinal direction thereof; A plurality of fixing grooves provided on an opposite side of the rail with respect to a center of the stationary support and a plurality of fixing pins coupled to the fixing grooves and fixing the position fixing portion, And a position fixture ring into which the movable belt is inserted, wherein the position fixture is inserted in one side of the rail and is movable along the rail.

Wherein the position fixing portion includes: a belt groove into which one end of the movable belt is inserted; A roller disposed within the position fixing portion and wound around the movable belt inserted in the belt groove; A motor connected to the roller to control the roller, and a switch provided at one side of the position fixing part to control operation of the motor, and the other end of the movable belt can be fixed to the position fixing ring.

The stationary support includes a rail having a hole shape in the longitudinal direction of the stationary support, and the stationary portion is fixed to the stationary support by two fixed absence; A spring positioned between the two fixing members to support the fixing member; Wherein the stationary member includes a stationary member ring to which the movable belt is inserted, the stationary member having one side inserted into the rail and movable along the rail, And may be formed to correspond to the shape of the support.

The scoliosis correcting device according to the embodiment of the present invention can adjust and adjust the angle and strength of the patient according to the patient's condition through the overall correction rather than the existing partial correction of the scoliosis, Various calibration methods can be provided.

In addition, it can be used semi-permanently regardless of growth in one production.

In addition, it is possible to adjust the strength to several times higher than the three points of the existing calibrator, which can shorten the existing long treatment time.

Also, by applying to exercise, it can be used as an auxiliary device and the effect of improving the exercise effect can be expected.

The tightening member 530 may be provided on the coupling ring 510 to fix the coupling ring 510 to the fixed support 200. The fastening member 530 can be a fastening bolt and nut structure (FIG. 3 a) or a fastening bolt and fastening lever structure (FIG. 3 c) when the coupling ring 510 is in the shape of a C-ring. When the coupling ring 510 is in the shape of an O-ring, a bolt hole may be formed in the coupling ring 510, and a bolt may be inserted and fixed in the bolt hole (FIG. 3B).

The structure of the tightening member 530 is only one embodiment of the present invention, and thus the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the scoliosis correcting device 1000 fixed by the engaging portion 500 can unfasten the tightening member 530 and fold the stationary pedestal 100 in the X-shape.

The pad 600 is preferably formed in a rectangular shape, but it may be formed in various shapes such as a circular shape.

In addition, the pad 600 may be formed of a material such as cotton or sponge, but it may be formed of a soft material having a cushion feeling because it is only an embodiment of the present invention. The pad 600 can be sandwiched between the user's body and the movable belt 300 securing the most curved and rotated portion.

With this configuration, the scoliosis correcting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of movable belts located on two fixed supports respectively according to the cubic angle of the vertebrae and rotational deformation of the user (patient) Therefore, patients with scoliosis having multiple curvatures can be simultaneously corrected and efficiently treated.

In addition, as a calibrator that can be used regardless of the user's body type, a user who grows in adolescence can be used continuously without having to newly manufacture according to the growth of the body, thereby reducing the economic burden.

In addition, since it can give several times more strength than the existing three points of the calibrator, the treatment time is shortened to about 15 minutes, which is different from the conventional calibrator which needs to be worn all day. It can reduce the time, visual stress and inconvenience of patients who have to wear them.
