SOLUTION: A pair of lock tools 3, 3 are provided in both ends of a band 2 which is made of an inextensible material and formed in such a length as just winding around the outer circumference from the buttocks part (a) to the abdominal part (b), an air bag 4 is provided in the intermediate position in one side of this band 2, and the both sides of the pelvis (c) are pressurized or pressedly opened by swelling of the air bag 4 so that the coxa valga or the coxa vara are corrected.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an assisting device for correcting a pelvis, and more particularly to an assisting device for correcting a valgus or varus crotch.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Pelvic abnormalities, valgus crotch and varus crotch need to be corrected because they are difficult to look outward and hinder walking. It is possible but difficult to open and tighten the pelvis even with manipulative treatment, and there was no solution other than repairing the valgus and valgus hips by surgery.

[0003]

However, the solution by surgery cannot be easily implemented because it requires a great deal of pain and the number of hospitalization days, and the financial burden is great.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a pelvic correction aid which can effectively correct valgus and varus hips.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a pair of engaging portions at both ends of a non-stretchable band wound around the outer circumference of the abdomen from the buttocks. This is a structure in which an air bag that inflates due to air injection is provided in an intermediate portion on one surface side.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in the figure, a pelvic correction aid 1 is provided with a pair of locking members 3 at both ends of a band 2 formed of a non-stretchable material, The structure is such that the airbag 4 is provided at an intermediate position.

[0008] The above-mentioned band 2 is composed of
Are formed in a band shape having a length sufficient to allow inflation of the airbag 4 and a width covering the upper and lower parts of the buttocks a, and provided at both ends of the band 4. Is
Using a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook, a hook, or the like, it is attached to one surface of one end and the other surface of the other end, so that both ends of the band are overlapped and detachably connected.

The air bag 4 is provided in the shape of an inner hollow bag using a flexible airtight sheet at a position in the longitudinal direction on the one surface side of the band 2, and the other surface side of the band 2 is provided. It is designed to be inflated by the air supply from the air supply source through the tube 6 connected to the connection portion 5 provided in the. In the illustrated embodiment, the airbag 4 is provided in a range that is approximately half the length of the entire length of the band 2 and within the entire width of the band 2. However, the size of the airbag 4 is appropriately changed. Can be provided.

[0010] The pelvic correction aid of the present invention has the above-described structure.
As shown in (B), the airbag 4 is superimposed on the abdomen b, the both ends of the band 2 are arranged from both sides of the buttocks a to the back side, and the locking members 3 provided on both ends of the band 2 are attached to the buttocks. Join behind a.

In this state, when the airbag 4 is inflated by injecting air, the airbag 4 pushes the abdomen b in order to become spherical, and the band 2 is pulled forward of the abdomen b by the reaction force. The both ends of the band 2 are pulled forward in the abdomen, and a tightening force is generated on both sides of the band 2 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2B to tighten the pelvis c from both sides and maintain this state. As a result, both sides of the pelvis c are pressed inward to correct valgus crotch.

FIG. 3 shows a method for correcting varus crotch.
As shown in (A) and (B), the band 2 is wound so that the airbag 4 overlaps the buttocks a, and both ends of the band 2 are overlapped on the front surface of the abdomen b, and are joined by the locking members 3.

In this state, when air is injected into the airbag 4 to inflate it, the airbag 4 presses the buttocks a, and the reaction force pulls the buttocks a to the rear of the buttocks a of the belt 4 and the abdomen b of the pelvis c. The pressure from the side and the pressure from both sides as shown by the arrow in FIG. 3 (B) are applied, thereby applying a force in the opening direction to the pelvis c, and maintaining this state to correct the varus crotch. Can be done.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the air bag is provided in the middle portion of the non-stretchable band wound around the buttocks and the abdomen, the pelvis is compressed from both sides by inflating the air bag. It can be pushed and widened, which allows effective and safe correction of valgus and varus crotch.
