Description

kyphosis corrector

The present invention relates to a kyphosis corrector, and more particularly, to a kyphosis corrector for correcting a user's spine to a normal person's spine angle by adjusting the degree of winding of a wire and the position of a weight.

Spinal column (SC) is a central skeleton of the human skeleton and serves as a pillar to support and support our body. As shown in FIG. 1A, the spine consists of 7 cervical vertebrae (CS) corresponding to the cervical spine, 12 thoracic vertebrae (TS) corresponding to the backbone, and 5 lumbar vertebrae corresponding to the lumbar vertebrae. LS), one sacral spine (SS) and one coccyx (C), for a total of 26 bones.

When viewed from the side of the spine (SC), the cervical (CS) and lumbar vertebrae (LS) form a forward curvature, and the thoracic (TS) and sacral vertebrae (SS) form a backward curvature, which is It plays a role in mitigating the impact received from the top and bottom. The curvature of the spine of a normal person (P) is about 35° in the cervical spine (CS), 40° in the thoracic spine (TS), and 45° in the lumbar spine (LS). In this way, the state of maintaining the curvature of the spine is the ideal state with the least amount of fatigue, and this is called normal sagittal balance.

Since human beings always receive gravity, the body should receive less gravity in order to maintain a healthy life. Therefore, the thoracic vertebrae (TS) and the sacral vertebrae (SS) of a human walking upright are formed opposite to the curves of the cervical vertebrae (CS) and the lumbar vertebrae (LS) to alleviate the gravity. In addition, the curve should be such that the cervical spine (CS), thoracic spine (TS), lumbar spine (LS), and sacral spine (SS) are balanced at the spinal (SC) reference line (RL) as a whole. The S-line of the spine (SC) balanced in this way relieves the gravitational force applied to the body. When the cervical vertebrae (CS) and lumbar vertebrae (LS) become straight or kyphotic, the center of gravity moves to the front of the vertebrae, and the center of gravity moves over the nucleus pulposus, leaving the vertebrae in an unstable position. In addition, when the thoracic vertebrae (TS) become straight or lordosis, the center of gravity moves to the back of the vertebral body, so the center of gravity moves over the nucleus pulposus, and the vertebral body is placed in an unstable position. As a result, the nucleus pulposus has a tendency to move to the rear, where the border is relatively weak, and as a result, spinal diseases can easily occur. It is important to correct

In addition, the deformity of the spine (SC) due to incorrect posture is more prone to sudden trauma or chronic trauma, and causes low back pain, sciatica, disc disease, scoliosis, and lordosis. ), spinal (SC) diseases such as kyphosis and neck pain, and neurological diseases such as numbness in limbs, paresthesia, muscular atrophy, paralysis of limbs, and deterioration of intestinal functions such as chronic indigestion, as well as bone and joint Because it is a direct cause of structural diseases such as various degenerative changes, shoulder pain, chronic headache, and chronic fatigue, maintaining and correcting correct posture in the treatment of the spine (SC) should be performed first.

Here, kyphosis is when the sagittal balance of the body collapses due to weak muscle strength supporting the back or a fracture of the spine (SC) and the balance of the entire body leans forward, more than twice as much fatigue when standing or walking It is a condition that causes a greater strain on the spine (SC) and makes it difficult to stand or walk due to pain. In other words, as shown in FIG. 1B, kyphosis patients (KP) have an increased kyphosis of the thoracic spine (TS), and the kyphosis of the thoracic spine (TS) deviates from the normal (P) spine baseline (RL). there is.

In order to correct such kyphosis, fusion surgery is usually performed on ten or more vertebrae, which is a costly operation, and has a problem in that the risk of surgery is high and patient satisfaction is low. Accordingly, the need for an orthosis that reduces the risk by simply correcting kyphosis without surgery is emerging.
