Description

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a spinal correction backrest, and more particularly, to an apparatus in which an airbag is installed on the inner surface of a correction backrest and the deformation of spinal bay and spinal vertebral body rotation can be corrected according to medical treatment.

At the time of general spinal bay or curved deformation, it is diagnosed and treated by a specialist, and after receiving functional recovery training, the spine is restored to return to the normal position. If it is 20 degrees or less, only functional recovery training and observation are necessary. If the side bay is 20 to 40 degrees, it is considered that functional recovery training is not enough, and it is considered to treat the spine back together. If the side bay is 40 degrees or higher, functional recovery training and backrest treatment are not effective, so surgery should be corrected and fixed. However, since the sequelae and risk of surgery are large, The functional recovery training that is operative and treatment of the backrest are preferentially selected. However, as shown in FIG. 1, the conventional backrest 1 is a plastic plate that is plastic as shown in FIG. Create the spine An opening 11 for opening the backrest body 10 outward and wearing it on the user's body is formed in the leaning body 10, and a plurality of fastening bands 12 are relatively provided on two opposite sides of the opening 11. It is installed so that it can be fastened to the body after being worn by the user, and a support frame 13 is provided on one side of the backrest body 10 for fixing the patient's side body. The frame 13 and the backrest main body 10 have an elastic band 14 for fixing the backrest main body 10 to the patient. By wearing the backrest 1, the spine can be supported and fixed, and further deformation of the spine can be prevented. .

However, the general backrest 1 has the following drawbacks.

1. The general backrest only has the function of fixing and supporting the spine, the purpose of which is to prevent the curvature of the spine from getting worse, and when the backrest is removed, it will return to the original side angle or worsen Therefore, the correction effect cannot be obtained.

2. When worn, the standard wearing time is long (23 hours every day), so discomfort occurs.

3. Since wearing time is long, back muscles become stiff or atrophy.

4. Although the spinal bay is suitable for treatment within 40 degrees, there is no function to correct spinal vertebral body rotation, and over 40 degrees should be improved by surgery.

5. It is worn outside the clothes, has no aesthetics, and the patient does not have a desire to wear. Therefore, the treatment effect of general spine backrest is not good.

The main objectives of the present invention are the appearance of wear, the wearing time is short, the phenomenon of the muscles of the back does not shrink, the side bay is not limited to treatment within 40 degrees, and the spine is curved without surgery. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a spinal correction backrest that can prevent the deterioration of the spine, positively obtain a correction effect, and has a function of correcting spinal vertebral body rotation.

In the present invention, a specialist mainly irradiates a patient's spine with X-rays, grasps the state of deformation, creates a plaster model based on the patient's body shape, and the plaster model is the patient's body. Because it is created based on the shape, it becomes a curved shape, and the plaster model is corrected to a normal shape, that is, the concave portion of the plaster model is filled with plaster, and the protruding portion is deleted, A modified plaster model is formed, and the modified plaster model is covered with a heated plastic plastic plate that, when cooled, conforms to the patient's body shape. An orthopedic backrest that can be straightened is formed, and an opening is formed in the straightening backrest that allows the corrective backrest to be opened and worn on the patient's body, and on the two opposite sides of the opening, To accommodate The joint member can adjust the interval between the openings and the degree of tension, and on the inner surface of the corrective backrest, the projecting part of the patient's spinal bay and the upper end on the other side corresponding to the projecting part A plurality of airbags of different shapes and sizes are provided at positions corresponding to the lower end and the vertebral body rotation part, a nipple is provided on the airbag, and at a position corresponding to the nipple of the airbag in the correction backrest, A through hole is formed, the nipple penetrates the through hole, the airbag is covered with a soft protective pad, and the air bag nipple penetrates the through hole, so that the expert can conveniently air the gas. Can be injected into the bag, and the gas in the airbag can be released, so the pressure in the airbag can be adjusted like pressurization or decompression without removing the corrective backrest from the patient's body, Furthermore, the spine is urged from the back side or outside or outside of the spine to the site corresponding to the curved deformation of the spine using the three-dimensional space pressure by the air pressure of each airbag. This is a spine correction backrest manufacturing method characterized in that the effect of correcting bay and spinal vertebral body rotation can be obtained.

Hereinafter, the expected purpose and effect of the present invention and the technical means employed will be described in detail with reference to better examples.

The embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises a corrective backrest 2, at least one airbag 3 and at least one protective pad 4, as shown in FIGS. Irradiate to grasp the state of deformation and make a plaster model a based on the patient's body shape (as shown in FIG. 2A), and the plaster model a is created based on the patient body shape Therefore, it became a curved shape, and the gypsum model a was corrected to a normal shape (as in FIG. 2B), the recessed portion a1 was filled with gypsum, and the protruding portion a2 was deleted and corrected. After the plaster model A is formed, and the plaster model A is covered with the heated plastic plastic plate b (as in FIG. 2CB), and the plastic plate b is cooled, the corrective backrest 2 is formed (as shown in FIG. 3 ), A through-hole 20 is formed at a position corresponding to the chest of the user on the front side of the corrective backrest 2 and an opening 21 is formed on the back side, and the corrective backrest 2 is opened to the outside by the opening 21. In addition, a plurality of coupling members 22 are provided so as to correspond to two opposite sides of the opening 21, and the spacing and tension of the openings 21 can be adjusted by the coupling member 22. The corrective backrest 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes 23, the corrective backrest 2 is provided with a plurality of vent holes 24, and the inner surface of the corrective backrest 2 is provided with a plurality of airbags 3 of different shapes and sizes. These air bags 3 are a main air bag 31 and a sub air bag 32. The main air bag 31 and the sub air bag 32 are provided with nipples 310 and 320. 20 penetrates through the through hole 23 of the correction backrest 2, covers 311 and 321 are provided on the nipples 310 and 320, and the protective pad 4 that is soft is covered on the airbag 3. A backrest is constructed.

The patient in the vertebral bay can measure the deformation angle d1 of the curvature of the patient spine c based on the X-ray photograph after taking an X-ray photograph by a specialist (as shown in FIG. 7). The corrected backrest 2 after the correction is made in accordance with the patient's body shape, and the main airbag 31 is provided on the inner surface of the corrected backrest 2 at a position corresponding to the curved protruding portion c1 of the spine c. In addition, on the inner surface of the correction backrest 2, a sub airbag 32 is provided at the upper end c2 and the lower end c3 on the other side corresponding to the protruding portion c1 (that is, the start and end points of the bending angle d1), and The main airbag 31 and the sub airbag 32 are covered with the protective pad 4 which is soft, so that the skin directly touches the main airbag 31 and the sub airbag 32 to cause discomfort. Prevention The corrective backrest 2 is worn by the patient, and the main airbag 31 and the sub-airbag 32 provided on the inner surface of the corrective backrest 2 are respectively connected to the protruding portion c1 of the curvature of the diseased spine c. When the joint member 22 on the corrective backrest 2 is joined and fastened to the upper end c2 and the lower end c3 on the other side corresponding to the protruding portion c1, the corrective backrest 2 is stably attached to the patient. Gas is injected into the main airbag 31 and the sub airbag 32 from the nipples 310 and 320 that are worn on the body and penetrate the through hole 23 of the correction backrest 2, and the main airbag 31 and the sub airbag at each position are injected. When the air pressure of 32 is determined by a specialist and air is injected into the main airbag 31 at the main application end corresponding to the position of the projecting part c1, the pressure applied to the projecting part c1 of the spine c is increased. As a result, it is possible to significantly reduce the deformation angle d2 of the spine c by urging the protruding portion c1 of the spine c to the original position or close to the original position (as shown in FIG. 8). A relatively small urging pressure is generated in the sub airbag 32 located at the upper end c2 and the lower end c3 on the side, and the protruding portion of the spine c is caused by the sub airbag 32 at the assisting force end located at the upper end c2 and the lower end c3. When c1 is biased by the main airbag 31 at the main application end, it can be prevented from being displaced and deformed to the other side, and the deformation of the upper end c2 and the lower end c3 of the projecting part c1 can be corrected. When the side bay part of the spine c is at the thoracic vertebra part c4 (as shown in FIG. 9), or when the side bay part of the patient's spine c is at the lumbar part c5 (as shown in FIG. 10), or If the side bay of the spine c is S-shaped (two major protrusions (As shown in FIG. 11), the airbag 3 (the main airbag 31 and the sub airbag 32) is located at a position corresponding to the protruding portion c1 and at a position corresponding to the upper end c2 or the lower end c3. Can be used to correct the deformation of the protruding portion c1 and the upper end c2 and the lower end c3 of the spine c, and the effect of positively correcting the side bay of the spine c can be obtained. Then, the recovery state of the deformation angle d1 of the spine c is inspected, and the pressure in the main airbag 31 and the sub airbag 32 on the inner surface of the correction backrest 2 is determined by a specialist based on the recovery angle of the spine c of the patient. When adjusting, the nipples 310 and 320 that pass through the through-holes 23 provided in the correction backrest 2 are used, and an expert can conveniently and directly attach each airbag 3 to the airbag 3 from the outside of the correction backrest 2. T The internal pressure of the airbag 3 can be adjusted by injecting and releasing the air bag 3, and it is not necessary to remove the corrective backrest 2 from the patient's body. In addition, in order to correct with different pressures for different deformation angles d1 of the spine c, the pressure charged in the main airbag 31 and the sub airbag 32 of each airbag 3 is controlled. The deformed spine c can be urged against the mortgage, whereby the deformation of the spine c can be prevented from further worsening, and the effect of correcting the spinal bay can be obtained.

If the patient is not only a side bay of the spine c but also a disease in which the vertebral body c6 rotates repeatedly, as shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. An airbag 3 is provided (as shown in FIG. 12, a main airbag 31 and a sub airbag 32 are installed in accordance with the curve thereof), and the spine c vertebral body c6 is rotated on the inner surface of the correction backrest 2. A plurality of airbags 3 are also provided at positions corresponding to the angle c7 (with reference to the sectional conceptual diagram of the thoracic vertebra site c8 in FIG. 13 and the sectional conceptual diagram of the lumbar segment c9 in FIG. 14). Due to the pressure of the spine c, the deformed spine c is appropriately urged to correct the rotation of the spine c side bay and the vertebral body c6 as described above. Correct from the back side, outside or back outside A plurality of airbags 3 (main airbag 31 and sub-airbag 32) for correction are provided at the site, and an appropriate pressure is filled in the airbag 3 so that the spine c As a result, the projecting portion c1 of the spine c and the rotation angle c7 of the vertebral body c6 can be biased close to the original position or the lower position. The effect of positively correcting the spinal vertebral body rotation can be obtained by urging to c and performing orthodontic treatment or other functional recovery training.

When the patient corrects the spine using the corrective backrest 2 according to the present invention, when the spine c is corrected and gradually returns to the normal position, the spine extends upwards by being restored, Therefore, the patient's body height gradually increases with the correction process, and accordingly, the position of the airbag 3 in the correction backrest 2 must be adjusted according to the change in the patient's height, When the change in body shape is large, a new correction backrest 2 is made according to the corrected body shape of the patient, and a better correction effect can be obtained.

According to the present invention, the following advantages can be obtained.

1. It is the only backrest that can be used for patients who need surgery in the spinal backrest. However, it is possible to effectively control the deformation angle, and without deteriorating, it is possible to obtain a therapeutic effect that positively and effectively corrects the spinal bay and the spinal vertebral body reversal.
