Descripción de un ejemplo de realización de la invención Description of an embodiment of the invention
Considerando la numeración adoptada en las figuras, la órtesis para columna vertebral comprende una estructura soporte 2 que incluye una primera pieza 2a que se dispone en correspondencia con la parte baja (zona sacrolumbar) de la espalda de un paciente; una segunda pieza 2b que se dispone en correspondencia la parte alta de la espalda en la zona dorsal del paciente; una tercera pieza que 2c que se dispone en correspondencia con el abdomen del paciente. Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the spine orthosis comprises a support structure 2 which includes a first part 2a which is arranged in correspondence with the lower part (sac-lumbar area) of the back of a patient; a second part 2b which is disposed in correspondence with the upper part of the back in the dorsal area of the patient; a third piece that 2c that is arranged in correspondence with the abdomen of the patient.
La órtesis de la invención incluye además una pieza central 13 que se puede fijar de forma desmontable sobre la primera pieza 2a y sobre la segunda pieza 2b mediante una unión adherente, como es por ejemplo velero. La órtesis comprende también un par de cintas superiores 14 y un par de cintas inferiores 15 para fijar y afianzar el conjunto de la estructura soporte 2 al cuerpo del paciente. The orthosis of the invention also includes a central part 13 that can be detachably fixed on the first part 2a and on the second part 2b by means of an adhesive connection, such as for example a sailboat. The orthosis also comprises a pair of upper straps 14 and a pair of lower straps 15 for securing and securing the assembly of the support structure 2 to the patient's body.
Las cintas superiores 14 abrazan zonas del cuerpo del paciente alrededor de los hombros y también están en contacto con unas zonas de los costados del cuerpo del paciente. Para ello las cintas superiores 14 están unidas por unos de sus extremos a la segunda
pieza 2b, donde dichas cintas superiores 14 se anclan a la tercera pieza 2c mediante superficies adherentes. Las cintas superiores 14 también enganchan en unos ojales extremos 17 de la pieza central 13. Las cintas inferiores 15 están conectadas por unos de sus tramos extremos a la primera pieza 2a de estructura soporte 2 mediante unas conexiones articuladas 18; donde dichas cintas inferiores 15 se anclan a la tercera pieza 2c pasando a través de unos ojales laterales 16 ubicados en dicha tercera pieza 2c. Las conexiones articuladas 18 permiten orientar dichas cintas inferiores 15 adaptándose a la constitución del cuerpo del paciente; evitándose así dobleces y tensiones indebidas del conjunto de la órtesis. The upper straps 14 embrace areas of the patient's body around the shoulders and are also in contact with areas on the sides of the patient's body. For this, the upper ribbons 14 are joined by one of their ends to the second piece 2b, wherein said upper ribbons 14 are anchored to the third piece 2c by adherent surfaces. The upper ribbons 14 also engage in end eyelets 17 of the central part 13. The lower ribbons 15 are connected by one of their end sections to the first part 2a of support structure 2 by means of articulated connections 18; wherein said lower tapes 15 are anchored to the third piece 2c passing through side eyelets 16 located in said third piece 2c. The articulated connections 18 allow orienting said lower tapes 15 adapting to the constitution of the patient's body; thus avoiding undue folds and tensions of the whole orthosis.
Las cintas superiores 14 y las cintas inferiores 15 incluyen en unos de sus tramos extremos superficies adherentes, como velero, para asegurar la unión de dichas cintas 14, 15, de forma que una vez que las cintas inferiores 15 se introducen a través de los ojales laterales 16, dichas cintas inferiores15 se doblan sobre sí mismas para asegurar su unión mediante sus superficies adherentes. En cambio las cintas superiores 14 se adhieren directamente a la tercera pieza 2c de la estructura soporte 2. The upper tapes 14 and the lower tapes 15 include in one of their end sections adherent surfaces, such as sailboat, to ensure the union of said tapes 14, 15, so that once the lower tapes 15 are introduced through the eyelets lateral 16, said lower belts15 are folded on themselves to ensure their union by their adherent surfaces. In contrast, the upper belts 14 adhere directly to the third part 2c of the support structure 2.
Sobre la primera pieza 2a y sobre la segunda pieza 2b de la estructura soporte 2 se acopla una férula 1 que comprende una primera pieza principal 3 y una segunda pieza principal 4 que se unen entre sí mediante un sistema de unión que permite regular la longitud de la férula 1 a la longitud de la columna vertebral de un paciente, de forma que la primera pieza principal 3 de la férula 1 se encastra y guía dentro de un alojamiento longitudinal 19 de la segunda pieza 2b de la estructura soporte 2, mientras que la segunda pieza principal 4 de la férula 1 se encastra y guía dentro un alojamiento longitudinal 20 de la primera pieza 2a de la estructura soporte 2. On the first part 2a and on the second part 2b of the support structure 2 a ferrule 1 is attached which comprises a first main part 3 and a second main part 4 which are joined together by a joining system that allows to regulate the length of the splint 1 to the length of the spine of a patient, so that the first main part 3 of the splint 1 engages and guides within a longitudinal housing 19 of the second part 2b of the support structure 2, while the second main part 4 of the splint 1 is inserted and guided inside a longitudinal housing 20 of the first part 2a of the support structure 2.
La férula de la invención está adaptada a la longitud y a la forma ondulada de dicha columna vertical. The splint of the invention is adapted to the length and the wavy shape of said vertical column.
Cada una de las piezas principales 3, 4 de la férula de la invención comprende dos ramas longitudinales 3a, 4a, un travesaño extremo 3b, 4b y al menos un travesaño adicional 3c, 4c que unen las dos ramas longitudinales 3a, 4a. El sistema de unión comprende unos elementos de anclaje 6 y dos alineaciones de
orificios 7, 8 ubicados en unas partes laterales 9, 10 enfrentadas de las ramas longitudinales 3a, 4a de la primera pieza principal 3 y segunda pieza principal 4; donde la unión de las dos piezas principales 3, 4 se realiza mediante los elementos de anclaje 6 que se introducen por pares de los orificios 7, 8 de las dos piezas principales 3, 4 de la férula cuando dichos pares de orificios 7, 8 están superpuestos entre sí. Each of the main pieces 3, 4 of the splint of the invention comprises two longitudinal branches 3a, 4a, an end cross member 3b, 4b and at least one additional crosspiece 3c, 4c joining the two longitudinal branches 3a, 4a. The joining system comprises anchoring elements 6 and two alignments of holes 7, 8 located in opposite side parts 9, 10 of the longitudinal branches 3a, 4a of the first main part 3 and second main part 4; where the joining of the two main parts 3, 4 is carried out by the anchoring elements 6 which are inserted in pairs of the holes 7, 8 of the two main parts 3, 4 of the splint when said pairs of holes 7, 8 are superimposed on each other.
Así pues, para llevar a cabo la unión entre las dos piezas principales 3, 4 para conformar la férula 1 a la longitud deseada acorde con la longitud de la columna vertebral del paciente, en primer lugar se superponen las partes laterales 9, 10 de la primera pieza principal 3 y de la segunda pieza principal 4 enfrentando al menos algunos de los pares de orificios 7, 8 y finalmente se introducen a través de dichos orificios 7, 8 enfrentados, los elementos de anclaje 6 para afianzar y asegurar la unión de las dos piezas principales 3, 4 que componen la férula 1 de la invención. En una realización de la invención, los elementos de anclaje comprenden unos tornillos. Thus, in order to carry out the connection between the two main parts 3, 4 to form the splint 1 to the desired length according to the length of the patient's spine, the lateral parts 9, 10 of the first main part 3 and of the second main part 4 facing at least some of the pairs of holes 7, 8 and finally through said holes 7, 8 facing each other, the anchoring elements 6 to secure and secure the union of the two main pieces 3, 4 that make up the splint 1 of the invention. In an embodiment of the invention, the anchoring elements comprise screws.
