Description

Wearable body correction device {A WEARING TYPE CORRECTING APPARATUS FOR HUMAN BODY}

The present invention relates to a wearable body correction device, and more particularly, to a wearable body correction device that is worn on a patient's upper body and is corrected by compressing the curve and hump of the body to be corrected.

In general, the spine refers to the bones that maintain the main skeleton of a person from the neck, back, waist, hip, and tailbone. Specifically, the spine is divided into 7 cervical vertebrae (cervical vertebrae), 12 breast vertebrae (thoracic vertebrae), 5 lumbar vertebrae (lumbar vertebrae), 5 sacrum vertebrae (sacral vertebrae), and 4 coccyx vertebrae (coccyx vertebrae).

On the other hand, in the spine, there is a spinal cord as a bundle of nerves from the brain, which plays a role in connecting the brain, which is the central nervous system, and the peripheral organs, which are the peripheral nervous system. As described above, the spine is a very important part of the body, and it gives a lot of difficulties to people who suffer from spinal diseases.

Representative spinal diseases include cervical intervertebral disc herniation, scoliosis, low back pain syndrome, and intervertebral disc herniation.

In particular, scoliosis is one of the representative spinal deformities and results in a 'curved state' or a 'sidewardly bent state' in the human spine.

Such scoliosis occurs a lot during the growing period, to the extent that about half of all scoliosis patients are teenagers.

Depending on the degree of scoliosis, different measures should be taken, but in many cases, the disease is not recognized or only simple observation measures are taken, so cases of worsening frequently occur.

Therefore, the purpose of treatment of scoliosis is to prevent the mild curve from progressing further, to correct the more moderate curve and to maintain the correction to obtain the balance of the body and to improve the beauty.

If scoliosis is detected early, conservative methods such as wearing an appropriate brace can prevent progression to a severe curve.

However, conventional assistive devices have a problem in that they do not effectively respond according to the degree of deformation of patients with scoliosis, and especially in the case of adolescents, there is a problem in that they cannot effectively correct the spine in the process because they continue to grow.

Furthermore, there is a problem in that patients who use inconvenient assistive devices are easily given up on the use of assistive devices because sufficient motivation for using the assistive devices is not given.

Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-10709731 (2011.10.06.) (hereinafter referred to as 'prior art') discloses a 'spinal aid'. The prior art relates to a spinal orthosis worn by a patient for spinal correction and recovery for a spinal disease such as a spinal curve.

The prior art includes a back plate portion whose length and angle are adjustable and whose inner/outer skin is made of functional fibers, and a waistband portion configured with a pull-line fixture that is detachable/attached to the back plate portion and fastened with a simple operation.

However, the prior art has a structure in which it is very difficult for the patient to adjust using the pull-line adjuster himself, and thus, when using the spinal orthosis, there is a problem in that it is necessary to seek help from another person.

In addition, depending on the patient, the scoliosis causes a 'hump', which is a part protruding from the back of the body, along with the 'curve', and the position of the curve and the hump differs depending on the patient. However, the prior art also had a problem in that the positions for pressing the curve and the hump could not be adjusted.

Therefore, the support portion 145b of the rail moving block 145 cannot pass through both the first coupling hole 147a, which is a relatively large hole, and the second coupling hole 147b, which is a relatively small hole, and the support plate ( 140) may be supported on the inner surface.

Of course, the hooking part 145a of the rail moving block 145 and the supporting part 145b are connected by an interconnection part (reference numeral not indicated), and the connection part is at least the rail moving block 145 is connected to the second coupling hole 147b. ) It is preferable that the size of the length and width is formed smaller than the size of the length and width of the second coupling hole (147b) so that it can be slid and moved to the side.

Therefore, the holding part 145a of the rail moving block 145 passes through the first coupling hole 147a of the support plate 140 so that the support part 145b of the rail moving block 145 is inside the support plate 140. In the state supported on the side, after moving the rail moving block 145 toward the second coupling hole 147b, fixing the fixing pin 144 by penetrating the fixing hole 149 formed in the support plate 140, The process of coupling the rail moving block 145 to the support plate 140 is completed. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first coupling hole 147a and the second coupling hole 147b are formed in four places of one support plate 140, and each of the first coupling hole 147a and the second coupling hole 147a and the second coupling hole 147b are formed. Four rail moving blocks 145 may be respectively coupled to the hole 147b.

The coupling part 145c may protrude from the other surface of the support part 145b. Here, the other surface of the support portion 145b may be an inner surface of the support portion 145b. A guide groove 145e slidably coupled to the guide rail 150 may be formed in the coupling portion 145c.
