Description

Joint correction device {ORTHOPAEDIC DEVICE FOR CORRECTING ARTICULATION}

The present invention relates to an orthodontic device, and more specifically, external rotation of the leg of the body, or rotation of the pelvis, hip joint, thigh (femur), knee bone, ankle and foot integrally in a state in which the body's waist is fixed. Or it is a joint correction device that can be rotated internally to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic joint and correct the tension and bent legs of the joint ligaments.

Body deformations occur frequently from children to adults for a variety of reasons. Deformation of the lower extremities of the body can be attributed to abnormal muscle tone such as spasticity and muscle weakness, joint deformation due to a long lifestyle, or changes in the length and strength of soft tissues such as ligaments. Of course, deformity of the lower extremities can occur due to genetic reasons or disease-caused in infancy or childhood.

These lower extremity deformations are divided into genu valgum, genu varum, and genu recuvatum, and the varus (inwardly curved knee) is O-shaped, and the valgus (outwardly curved knee) is an X-shaped leg. Say.

These external/varus knees cause various knee pains and diseases such as arthritis, osteomalacia, malunion and arthrosis, and negatively affect the performance of functional movements of the body.

Along with this, the hip joint is a ball-shaped globular joint that connects the pelvis and the entire leg, and when a person walks, it controls walking through various movements such as flexion, extension, abduction, adversion, internal rotation, and external rotation.

At this time, excessive internal rotation of the hip joint causes not only abnormal muscle tone and alignment of the knee and ankle joints, but also negatively affects the lower trunk, the lumbar spine, which adversely affects body alignment.

The main factor that determines the internal rotation angle of the hip joint is the torsional angle of the femur, which means the horizontal torsional angle of the femoral neck and the femoral joint elevation. anteversion).

With this commitment, the internal rotation angle increases excessively in the hip joint, the external rotation angle is significantly limited, and the valgus chain occurs.

Conversely, when the external rotation angle is excessively increased and the internal rotation angle is significantly limited in the hip joint, a varus collar occurs. The varus-type lower extremities are caused by the shortening of the femoral iliac muscle and the adductor femoral muscle, and the weakening of the gluteus maximus and hamstrings.

In this way, when the lower extremities of the body are bent due to the varus or valgus, depending on the degree, it is difficult to walk for a long time and causes physical disabilities, and therefore, treatment with a compensator or surgical method is performed in order to properly align the bent legs. .

However, surgical treatment methods include osteotomy, epiphyseal bone bridge resection, and proximal tibial lateral epiphyseal fusion, and the procedure is complicated and there is a risk of causing additional damage to the body.

For this surgical treatment method, a brace for strengthening muscles by external rotation of the hip joint has been developed, but these braces are generally worn on the lower extremities to walk or fix the hip joint in a specific direction, so the corrective effect on the bent leg is insignificant. .

In addition, the orthodontic device of Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2008-0024179 is a device that rotates the hip joint in an external or internal rotation direction using a driving device, and rotates the feet and knees by power. Such a correction device assumes that the thigh (femur) and the pelvis of the hip joint will be rotated together by rotating the foot or knee (knee joint), and there is a problem such as an excessive force applied to the knee, hip joint, pelvis and waist.

In another aspect, the joint correction apparatus 10 may further include a spacing adjustment unit 30 (see FIG. 5) disposed between the first and second support bars 20a and 20b to adjust the spacing. In another aspect, the joint correction apparatus 10 includes first and second connection portions 40a and 40b to increase or decrease the length of the support bar on a portion of each of the first and second support bars 20a and 20b. Includes.

The spacing control unit 30 may be configured with a fixed bar 32 protruding from both sides of the adjuster 31 and the adjuster 31 and connected to the first support bar 20a and the second support bar 20b. The distance control unit 30 adjusts the distance between the first support bar 20a and the second support bar 20b according to the operation of the adjuster 31. For example, the length of the fixing bars 32 connected to both sides of the adjuster 31 may be reduced or extended according to the operation of the adjuster 31. In addition, the fixed bars 32 connected to both sides of the adjuster 31 around the adjuster 31 may be implemented in a manner that is bent at a predetermined angle.

The first upper correction unit 50a and the second upper correction unit 50b each include a holder 51 for fixing the user's femur (thigh) and a first driving unit 52 for rotating the holder 51. I can. The first driving unit 52 applies the rotational force of the first driving unit 52a to the entire holder 51 while fixing the first driving unit 52a (refer to FIG. 6) and the holder 51 to supply rotational force to the holder 51. It may include a fixed band (52b) to transmit.

The first lower correction unit (60a) and the second lower correction unit (60b) are the shoes 61 that fix the user's feet and ankles, respectively, and a second drive that is fastened to the shoes 61 to rotate the shoes 61 It includes a unit 62. The second driving unit 62 includes a base portion 62a supporting the shoe 61 and a rotating plate 62b disposed on the base portion 62a to rotate the shoe 61, as shown in FIG. 8. It can be configured to include. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, a driving system may be disposed inside the base portion 62a so as to rotate the shoe 61. In this regard, it will be described in more detail in the description of the drawings.

The first and second support bars 20a and 20b are the first upper correction unit 50a and the first lower correction unit 60a and the second upper correction unit 50b and second respectively fastened to both lower limbs of the user. Fix the lower calibration unit (60b). In addition, as shown in Fig. 6, the first driving unit 52 and the second driving unit 62 disposed in the first upper calibration unit 50a and the first lower calibration unit 60a, respectively, are electrically A cable may be disposed inside the first support bar 20a to connect or communicate with each other. For the same reason, a communication cable may be arranged inside the second support bar 20b.

Accordingly, the first upper correction unit 50a and the first lower correction unit 60a fixedly supported by the first support bar 20a may be controlled to rotate in the same direction. For example, the first lower correction unit 60a fixing the thigh may rotate externally, and in response to this external rotation, the first upper correction unit 50a may externally rotate.

In addition, the second upper correction unit 50b and the second lower correction unit 60b fixedly supported by the second support bar 20b may be controlled to rotate in the same direction. For example, the second lower correction unit 60b fixing the thigh may rotate internally, and in response to this internal rotation, the second upper correction unit 60b may internally rotate.

A first connection part 40a and a second connection part 40b may be disposed in some regions of the first and second support bars 20a and 20b, respectively. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the support bars (20a, 20b) of the joint correction device 10 according to the difference in the length of the user's legs, loosen the fixing device of the first connection part 40a and the second connection part 40b, and the support bar (You can increase or decrease the length of (20a, 20b).

The joint correction apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention strengthens the pelvic muscles by integrally rotating the pelvis, hip joint, thigh (femur), calves, ankles, and feet in a state where the waist of the body is fixed. , Contracted pelvic muscles can be tensioned and bent legs can be corrected.

First, the causes related to the deformation of the lower extremities in the body and the direction of rotation of the joint for treatment according to the type of deformation of the lower extremities are as follows.

2 is a view showing the hip joint angle related to the deformation of the lower extremity of the body. 3 is a view showing the shape of the lower limbs of the normal, varus and valgus knee according to the angle of the hip joint of the body. 4 is a view showing the rotation direction of the femur and tibia for correction according to the deformation of the lower extremity of the body.

2 to 3, the hip joint inclination angle of about 125° is known as the angle of a normal person. If the hip joint inclination angle is smaller than that of a normal person (105°), it is called Coxa Vara and becomes a valgus-shaped leg in FIG. 3(c). In general, this structure of the lower extremities of the body is called an X-shaped leg.

If it is larger than the inclination angle of the hip joint (140 to 160), it is called Coxa Valga and becomes a leg in the form of a varus of FIG. 3(b). In general, this structure of the lower extremities of the body is called an O-shaped leg.

In the case of the varus, the biggest problem is the deformation of the angle at the upper part of the tibia. 90% of the varus knees are of this type. However, in most cases, other deformations such as internal rotation of the hip joint and internal rotation of the tibia occur in a complex manner as well as the deformation of the angle of the upper tibia in the varus. For example, in the case of the O-leg structure, only the tibia (shin bone) is rotated inward without deformation of the hip joint or knee joint, and the angle may be deformed.

In the case of the valgus knee, the knee is excessively rolled inward at the knee joint, the anatomical axial angle of the femur and tibia is less than 170-175°, the femur internal rotation, the patella internal rotation, and the fibula protruding due to the external rotation of the tibia, etc. have.

As shown in Figure 4, in the case of the varus, the femur (thigh) is rotated externally to reduce the angle of the hip joint, and the calf (shin and calf) and the foot are also externally rotated to perform correction treatment. Conversely, in the case of the valgus knee, the femur (thigh) is rotated internally and the calf and foot are also internally rotated to perform correction treatment.

However, as discussed above, varus and valgus appear even when deformation occurs only in certain areas, and also appear when deformation occurs not only in the thigh and hip joints, but also in the patella and calf. It is necessary to rotate only or as a whole, such as thighs, hips, calves, ankles and feet.

For example, when there is a deformity of the lower extremities such as the varus called the O leg, the angle of the hip joint, that is, the angle between the femoral neck axis and the femur is greater than the normal range (135°) (150 to 160°). As a result, the hip joint (the inclination angle between the femoral head and the femur) is opened and the foot is opened (this is generally referred to as a nasolabial step). This refers to a form in which the ankle rotates as a backbone of the femur, which causes the patella to be skewed inward. In other words, an intra-knee rotation occurs where the patella faces in the inner direction of both legs. In addition, the tip of the toe looks outward, and you walk nasolabially.

Therefore, in order to correct the varus knee, the feet, calves, knees (patella) and thighs (femurs) must be rotated outward (external rotation) based on the front of the body so that the patella facing the inside comes to the normal position. . The thigh (femur) must also be rotated externally around the pelvis so that the larger hip joint angle is narrowed and returned to the normal position.

In addition, in order to measure whether or not the degree of varus and valgus, the doctor rotates the patient's foot, lying comfortably, internally or externally. At this time, the degree of rotation of the knee can be viewed in response to the rotation of the foot, and the condition of the patient can be determined. For example, when the foot is rotated, a case where the angle of rotation of the knee is insignificant in response to the rotation of the foot may be determined as a patient to be treated. By correcting the state of the body in question by using the joint correction apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to treat the varus and valgus as a whole.

5 and 6 are views showing the state of wearing the joint correction apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 together with FIG. 1, the joint correction apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a user on both lower limbs, that is, on both legs, that is, the first upper portion on the thigh (femur). The correction unit 50a and the second upper correction unit 50b are fastened, and the first lower correction unit 60a and the second lower correction unit 60b are worn on the ankles and feet.

The first upper correction unit 50a and the second upper correction unit 50b are each composed of a holder 51 and a first driving unit 52. As shown in the drawing, the holder 51 is a user's thigh It is formed to surround a certain area. Since the circumference of the thigh is different for each user, the holder 51 has a predetermined separation area. In addition, the first driving unit 52 includes a first driving unit 52a for supplying a rotational force and a fixing band 52b for transmitting the rotational force to the entire holder 51. The fixing band 52b surrounds the holder 51 and strengthens the fastening force between the holder 51 and the user's thigh, while the rotational force of the first driving part 52a is transmitted to the entire holder 51 along the fixing band 52b. Make it possible.

The inside of the holder 51 may be made of a material having high friction with the user's thigh. Accordingly, as the holder 51 rotates, the thigh in contact with the inner side of the holder 51 receives a rotational force in the rotational direction of the holder 51 by the frictional force, and the user's thigh can be rotated. In addition, according to the frictional force of the inner side of the holder 51 and the user's thigh, the frictional force between the inner side of the holder 51 and the user's thigh according to the rotation of the holder 51 is a force that causes rotation of the user's thigh. This may not be. However, even in this case, since a predetermined frictional force is provided to the user's thigh in the rotation direction of the holder 51, this frictional force may serve to induce the user to rotate his or her thigh with his or her own force.

Accordingly, the first upper correction unit 50a and the second upper correction unit 50b may rotate the user's thigh according to the rotation direction, rotation strength, and rotation angle of the first driving unit 52a.

The first lower correction unit (60a) and the second lower correction unit (60b) are fastened to the shoes 61 and the shoes 61 to fix the user's feet and ankles, respectively, so that the shoes 61 are at a certain angle and direction. It includes a second drive unit 62 to rotate.

The first lower calibration unit 60a and the second lower calibration unit 60b have a second driving unit 62 capable of supplying rotational force, like the first upper calibration unit 50a and the second upper calibration unit 50b. It is positioned so that the user's feet and ankles can be rotated independently.

Accordingly, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the thigh part, the ankle, and the foot part can be rotated in the same direction according to the state of the user's pelvic muscles or the state of deformation of the lower limb. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the thigh part, the ankle, and the foot part may be rotated in different directions depending on the treatment method.

In the joint correction apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a gap adjustment unit 30 may be disposed between the first support bar 20a and the second support bar 20b. FIG. 5 is a front view of the user wearing the joint correction device 10, and FIG. 6 is a rear view of the user wearing the joint correction device 10.

Since the first support bar 20a and the second support bar 20b are located in the rear (hip) portion of the user, the spacer 30 is located in the rear area of the user. However, this is not fixed. In some cases, the positions of the first support bar 20a and the second support bar 20b may be positioned in front of the user. In this case, the spacer 30 is positioned in front of the user. In another aspect, the first and second support bars 20a and 20b may be configured to be located on the side of the user's leg.

On the other hand, the user may wear the joint correction apparatus 10 according to the embodiment and perform the treatment while lying down comfortably while being straight. In this case, when the first and second support bars 20a and 20b are configured to be located behind the user's lower extremity, the lower body of the user may have a predetermined height corresponding to the height of the device 10. At this time, in order for the user to match the height of the upper and lower body, the user may perform orthodontic treatment by laying a mat on the floor area corresponding to the upper body.

7 is a view showing a side view of a lower correction unit of the joint correction apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 8 is a view showing a plan view of the second driving unit of FIG. 7. 9 is a view showing a state in which the shoe of the lower correction unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention rotates.

Referring to FIGS. 7 to 9 along with FIG. 1, the first lower correction unit 60a and the second lower correction unit 60b according to the first embodiment of the present invention are respectively a shoe 61 and a shoe 61 ) And a second driving unit 62 for rotating the shoe 61. The second driving unit 62 includes a base portion 62a supporting the shoe 61 and a rotating plate 62b disposed on the base portion 62a to rotate the shoe 61.

A fastening protrusion 68 is formed on the bottom of the shoe 61 for fastening with the rotating plate 62b, and the fastening protrusion 68 is fastened to a fastening hole 69 formed in the rotating plate 62b. As shown in the drawing, the first support bar 20a is fastened to the base portion 62a of the first lower driving unit 60a. Accordingly, the shoe 61 may rotate at a predetermined angle in the left and right directions around the first support bar 20a (FIG. 9).

In another aspect, the shoe 61 may be configured integrally with the rotating plate 62b. In another aspect, the shoe 61 may be detachable from the rotating plate 62b. Therefore, it is possible to replace the shoes 61 received according to the size of the user's foot.

10 is a view showing the structure of a drive system disposed in the base of the second drive unit of the joint correction apparatus of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10 along with FIG. 1, the joint correction apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention may include a driving system 70 inside the base portion 62a of the second driving unit 62. have. The driving system 70 includes a second driving unit 72, a memory 73, a mode selection unit 74, a control unit 75, and a communication unit 76.

The second driving unit 72 is a component that generates rotational force like the first driving unit 52a. It can be implemented as a device using a motor or hydraulic device, but this is not fixed. Therefore, in the case of a device capable of supplying rotational force in a certain direction, it can be selectively applied.

The mode selection unit 74 uses the power of the second driving unit 72, a manual mode in which the user directly rotates the first upper calibration unit 50a and the first lower fixing unit 60a by force, and the second driving unit ( Using the power of 72), the rotation direction, rotation time, and rotation angle of the shoe 61 may be classified into a preset automatic mode.

In the case of the manual mode, the second driving unit 72 or the first driving unit 52a may have a predetermined resistance force so that the user can rotate the thigh or foot using the force step by step. In addition, the degree of this resistance can be adjusted. For example, it is possible to lower or increase the user's force required to rotate the thigh or foot using a hydraulic device.

In addition, in the manual mode, the user can rotate the foot step by step in a direction that gradually increases the rotation angle by applying force to the foot. When rotating in stages, the rotating plate 62b may have a limited rotation range for each stage. For example, assume that the angle of the rotating plate 62b when the user does not rotate the foot is 0 degrees, and when the user rotates the foot externally, the rotating plate 62b can only rotate from 0 degrees to a degree (step 1). ). In the next step, the rotating plate 62b can rotate from 0 degrees to b degrees (step 2), and in the next step, the rotating plate 62b can rotate from 0 degrees to c degrees (step 3). And, c is an angle greater than b, and b is an angle greater than a. This can be explained as well for my rotation. Accordingly, the user can perform the foot rotation exercise within a predetermined angle range in which the rotation angle of the rotation plate 62b is gradually increased in stages in the manual mode.

In another aspect, it may be fixed for a predetermined time at the maximum rotation angle of the rotating plate 62b in the manual mode. Specifically, it may be fixed for a predetermined period of time at the maximum rotation angle of the rotating plate 62b in each of steps 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Therefore, the user can rotate the rotating plate 62b by applying force to the foot and maintain the state of rotation of the foot for a predetermined time at the maximum angle for each step, thereby maintaining the relaxed state of the contracted muscles for a predetermined time, and thus exercise. You can increase the effect.

I can. At this time, since the user's feet return to a non-rotating state, the rotation is naturally released and returns to a comfortable state. Through this operation, the entire leg of the user is rotated in a predetermined direction, and after maintaining the state for a predetermined time, the rotation is temporarily released to return to a comfortable posture. This state can be repeated, and the operation can be repeated while gradually increasing the rotation angle. Accordingly, the pelvis and legs can be corrected by providing the effect of relaxation of the contracted muscles on the joints of the pelvis and the internal abduction or external rotational movement.

In another aspect, the user may rotate the lower correction units 60a and 60b by the force of the user's feet. In this case, the second driving unit 72 may provide a resistance force against rotation of the lower calibration units 60a and 60b. In addition, the second driving unit 72 provides the rotation angle information of the lower calibration units 60a and 60b to the upper calibration units 50a and 50b to calibrate the upper part in the same direction as the rotation direction of the lower calibration units 60a and 60b. The holder 51 in the units 50a and 50b can be rotated. That is, when the user rotates the lower correction units (60a, 60b) with the force of his or her feet, the upper correction units (50a, 50b) rotate together to help the proper rotation of the entire leg, and Helps in relaxation.

In another aspect, the communication unit 76 may receive a command signal received from an external device (eg, a remote control used by a user). The control unit 75 may operate according to a process previously stored in the memory 73 in response to the received command signal.

The joint correction apparatus according to the present invention rotates the entire leg externally or internally through the rotation of the thigh along with the rotation of the foot or rotation of the foot, and as a result, the pelvis, the hip joint, the thigh (femur), the calf, the ankle, and the foot are integrally externally rotated.
