Description

The bag diagnosis and correcting a spine disease

The present invention relates to a bag capable of judging and correcting a spinal disease. More specifically, the present invention measures the angular velocity of X, Y, Z-axis vector values and vector values of a wearer's spine to judge a spinal disease, The present invention relates to a vertebra judgment and verifying bag which can guide an vertebra to a correct posture by forming an alignment portion having a shape corresponding to a curved shape of the vertebra.

In general, scoliosis refers to the case where the vertebra is bent or broken, which makes it difficult to distribute the weight properly and the movement becomes unnatural. To compensate for this, our body changes its overall shape, which is the natural heat of heat, which leads to illness syndrome. The shape of the compensation appears above the neck and pelvis. The rotational displacement of the cervical vertebra (cervical vertebrae) and the height of the pelvis are different from each other. In severe cases, the ribs rotate and the size of the chest changes. In addition, the spine flexes sideways and the vertebral body (one vertebral bone) is accompanied by rotation.

Such a phenomenon is referred to as scoliosis. If such a scoliosis is suspected, it will be examined by a laparoscope. The laparotomy is performed by straightening the hair, bending the knee from the knee and then bending the scoliometer. The Cobb's angle was measured by visually observing the left and right tilt trains of the patient while moving from the hips to the hips.

The corpus angle is determined by the coccyx measurement method, which is obtained by measuring the most curved upper and lower vertebrae of the vertebrae. If the measured corpus angle is less than 20 °, it should be examined every 6 months to observe the progress of scoliosis. If it is 20 ~ 40 °, the orthosis should be worn until 15 ~ 16 years when the growth is over. To correct scoliosis.

However, the Coffs measurement method using the above-described scoliometer is a method in which a bead is embedded in a circularly bent transparent eyeglass so that the left and right tilt of the patient can be detected by checking the scale according to the position of the bead. The degree of slope is slightly different and primitive, so that the degree of progression of scoliosis can not be accurately and constantly diagnosed.

In addition, if the measurement is inaccurate with a scoliometer, it is necessary to take an X-ray of the degree of the spine's fringe and convert the degree of the spine to the Coffs angle in the film taken. And X-rays have to be used.

In order to solve the above problems, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2010-0052672 discloses a vertebra measuring device for diagnosing only the vertebrae of a patient by calculating the corpus angle by driving the measuring device from the neck to the hip of the patient .

However, in the case of the above-mentioned prior art, since the measuring device is run while the back of the patient is bent, the measured degree of inclination according to the degree of bending of the back, the posture and the movement of the patient are different, and the reliability of diagnosis of scoliosis is lowered.

In addition, scoliosis is common between the age of 10 years and developmental stages, and rapidly develops between the ages of 12 and 16 years, of which 1/3 is the curvature of less than 20 degrees, requiring continuous measurement of the vertebral curvature .

However, it is very troublesome to visit the hospital continuously. In Korea, 12 to 16 year-olds visit the hospital continuously for reasons such as academic reasons, and it is difficult to diagnose scoliosis.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a device that can accurately measure the degree of curvature of the spine but can measure the degree of curvature of the spine easily and continuously.

On the other hand, lateral imbalance of the bag and center-of-gravity deviation and misalignment habit can lead to scoliosis, which can guide the vertebra to the right posture and prevent the skewness of the bag to prevent spinal diseases It is a situation.

Hereinafter, the technical idea of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the technical concept of the present invention, are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

The diagnostic and correction bag for vertebra disease according to the present invention includes a main body 21 in which contents are accommodated and a general bag 2 in which a pair of shoulder straps 22 are provided.

1 is a block diagram of a diagnostic and calibration bag for a spinal disease according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the diagnosis and correction bag for vertebra disease according to the present invention includes an calibration unit 100, a measurement unit 200, an operation unit 300, and a display unit 400.

The calibration unit 100 is provided on the back surface of the main body 21 of the bag 2 and has a shape corresponding to the curved shape of the vertebra.

FIG. 2 is a view for explaining a spinal disease diagnosis and wearing a correction bag according to the present invention. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the calibration section 100 is in direct contact with the back of the wearer in a shape corresponding to the general curved shape of the vertebra. Accordingly, when the bag according to the present invention is worn so that the wearer's shoulder and the bridge portion 100 abut against each other, the vertebral posture of the wearer can be guided to a general vertebral posture, thereby preventing the vertebrae from being bent abnormally.

Since the caliper 100 directly contacts with the back of the wearer, it is preferable that the caliper 100 be made of a cushioning foaming foam in order to improve the comfort of the wearer. The caliper 100 may be of any cushioning material.

However, in the case of a general cushioning material, the shape of the cushioning material may be deformed by being pressed against the back of the wearer, thereby reducing the efficiency of the spinal posture correction. Therefore, the calibration unit 100 is preferably made of a material utilizing a shape memory polymer.

A shape memory polymer is a material that memorizes a shape memorized under certain conditions. It is a material that has a property of being transformed into another shape when a stimulus is applied from the outside, and then returning to its original shape when the condition is re-

That is, if the calibration unit 100 is made of a material utilizing a shape memory polymer and the shape corresponding to the curved shape of the vertebrae is memorized under a certain condition, the shape distortion of the calibration unit 100 due to frequent wearing can be prevented can do. At this time, the predetermined condition is preferably a temperature condition similar to the body temperature.

Accordingly, when the calibration unit 100 is brought into contact with the back of the wearer, the size and shape of the calibration unit 100 are deformed in a shape corresponding to the original shape, that is, the general curved shape of the vertebrae, To the correct posture.

The temperature condition similar to the body temperature means a temperature of 35 ° C to 38 ° C. If the shape of the calibration unit 100 is stored at a temperature lower than 35 ° C, the temperature delivered to the calibration unit 100 when the bag is worn Since the temperature is 35 DEG C or higher, the pressing portion 100 may be pressed or deformed while abutting against the back.

On the other hand, if the shape of the calibration unit 100 is stored at a temperature higher than 38 deg. C, since the temperature transmitted to the calibration unit 100 when the bag is worn is lower than 38 deg. C, I can not come back to the original.

Therefore, it is preferable that the calibration section is made to store the shape corresponding to the general curved shape of the vertebrae at a temperature similar to the body temperature, that is, at a temperature of 35 DEG C to 38 DEG C or less.

Here, the temperature condition is presented as an example, and the temperature condition can be modified in consideration of individual characteristics or seasonal factors.

Therefore, the calibration unit 100 according to the present invention is made of a material utilizing a shape memory polymer and can prevent the shape modification of the calibration unit 100, and can be used semi-permanently.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the measurement unit 200 includes a sensor installed inside the calibration unit 100 to measure angular velocities of vector values and vector values of the X, Y, and Z axes of the wearer's spine. At this time, the X, Y, and Z axes indicate the directions shown in FIG.

The measurement unit 200 includes an acceleration sensor 210 for measuring the vector values of the X, Y, and Z axes of the wearer's spine and includes a gyro sensor 220 for measuring the angular velocity of the vector values of the X, Y, . At this time, the measured angular speeds of the vector values and the vector values of the X, Y and Z axes are transmitted to the arithmetic unit 300 through wireless short distance communication such as Bluetooth, WIFI, infrared communication, etc. and used for calculating the direction and rotation angle of the vertebra .

The acceleration sensor 210 and the gyro sensor 220 may be installed in the calibration unit 100 in order to improve the accuracy of measurement values.

The calculating unit 300 calculates the curvature direction of the wearer's vertebrae from the vector values of the X, Y, and Z axes of the wearer's vertebrae measured by the measuring unit 200 and integrates the angular velocities of the X, Y, Is calculated. In this case, in the case of the gyro sensor 220, since the integral cumulative error occurs, the operation unit 300 applies a complementary filter or a Kalman filter to the angular velocity of the X, Y, and Z-axis vector values to minimize the error .

In addition, the arithmetic unit 300 stores a general vertebral flexion direction and a vertebral flexion rotation angle, and can compare the vertebral flexion direction and the rotational angle of the wearer. At this time, the calculator 300 can display the difference between the general vertebral flexion direction and the rotational angle, the vertebral flexion direction and the rotational angle of the wearer as a percentage, and can use the vertebral flexion direction and the rotational angle of the wearer, After imaging, it can be shown and presented with a general vertebral curvature shape.

Therefore, since the measurement of the direction and the angle of rotation of the vertebra according to the present invention is performed by wearing the bag 2, the measurement can be performed every day regardless of time and place, You can save the angle and provide it by date.

The display unit 400 displays on the screen all the values calculated from the operation unit 300 such as the direction and rotation angle of the vertebrae, the direction and angle of rotation of the general vertebra, and the vertebra curved image. The operation unit 300 and the display unit 400 are preferably operated by the mobile terminal 1. The operation unit 300 and the display unit 400 may be operated by an application installed in the mobile terminal 1. [ have.

The mobile terminal 1 according to the present invention refers to all devices including a wireless local area communication module, an arithmetic processing unit, and a display screen, and may typically be a smart phone (high performance mobile phone), a tablet PC, or another PC.

Accordingly, since the diagnosis and correction bag of the present invention is applied to the back of a patient to measure the degree of curvature of the vertebra, it is possible to accurately and simply measure the curvature of the vertebra The degree of curvature can be measured and the degree of curvature of the vertebrae can be continuously measured. That is, each time the bag 2 is worn, the degree of curvature of the spine of the wearer is measured and stored, and the degree of progress of the spinal disease and the degree of correction of the spinal posture can be provided according to the period.

The measuring unit 200 may further include a digital level meter 230 for measuring the inclination of the main body 21 in the X-axis direction. The digital level meter 230 is for detecting the tilting of the bag 2 and the center of gravity of the bag. The position of the digital level meter 230 is not limited, but a pair of shoulder straps 22 is provided to prevent the center of gravity of the wearer from concentrating on one shoulder. Respectively. The inclination of the main body 21 in the X-axis direction measured by the digital level meter 230 may also be transmitted to the operation unit 300 via the wireless LAN and transmitted to the wearer through the display unit 400.

At this time, a pair of length adjusting means 23 may be provided at the center of the pair of shoulder straps 22 in the vertical direction so that the body 21 can be horizontally aligned in the X-axis direction. The length adjusting means 23 consists of a dial 23a and a spool 23b. The wire 24 is wound around the spool 23b and the dial 23a rotates the spool 23b to adjust the winding and unwinding of the wire 24. At this time, it is preferable that the length adjusting means 23 is applied to the structure of the BOA system.

Conventionally, the length of the bag strap can be adjusted manually by using a diaphragm (a wader collar). In the above method, the length of the bag strap is adjusted by the user directly by passing the bag strap through the diaphragm, Can not be adjusted.

Therefore, the diagnosis and calibration bag of the present invention can control the length of the shoulder strap 22 by rotation of the dial 23a, so that it is more finer than the length of the shoulder strap 22 by adjusting the length of the shoulder strap 22 The length of the shoulder strap 22 can be controlled.

The inclination of the main body 21 in the X-axis direction measured by the digital level meter 230 is transmitted to the operation unit 300 in real time and is provided to the user so that the inclination of the main body 21 in the X- It is possible to finely control the length.

4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the length adjusting means 23 according to the present invention. 4, the length adjusting means 23 according to the present invention has a guide line 23c formed on the outer peripheral surface of the spool 23b along the outer peripheral surface of the spool 23b. As a result, the wire 24 is wound and unwound along the guide line 23c, so that the wire 24 can be prevented from being twisted inside the length adjusting means 23.

Further, the wire 24 is preferably a light material such as a carbon wire for minimizing the weight of the bag 2

Further, a display illumination (not shown) may further be provided at a connection position between the calibration unit 100 and the shoulder strap 22. [ The display light is for intuitively displaying the inclination of the bag 2 and is preferably protruded upward from the calibration unit 100 and may be any means as long as it can emit electrical light such as an LED.

The display lights are installed in pairs, and the display illumination in the direction of tilting or center of gravity is activated. Thus, it is possible to intuitively inform the wearer of the inclination or center-of-gravity of the bag 2

Further, the display illumination can be controlled by the mobile terminal 1, and when operated at night without illumination, it is possible to prevent a safety accident by indicating the position of the wearer.
