An adjustable ear shaping mechanism of the present application includes a base, an ear back support, and an upper cover. An opening is provided on the base, and the opening can allow an ear to pass therethrough. The ear back support is movably disposed in the opening, and supports an auricle from the back of the ear according to a part needing orthopedics. The upper cover is detachably connected to the base. An object-containing space is formed between the upper cover, the base, and the ear back support, and the ear is placed in the object-containing space. In a clinical use process, the ear back support may be disposed at a corresponding malformed part behind the ear according to a malformed part of the ear, the auricle is supported from the back of the ear, orthopedic requirements of different parts can be met, and clinical use is very convenient. In particular, due to a surface contact three-dimensional space traction orthopedic manner of an auricle former, not only a pressure intensity of a contact part is reduced, but also an intended aim of orthopedics can be achieved by a small force, so that clinical use is safer, and an orthopedic effect is better.

An ankle brace received by a footwear boot prevents extension or flexion of the foot while walking. The ankle brace includes a pair of side trusses joined at the top by a shin band and at the bottom by a metatarsal band. When placed on the boot the shin band extends over and across a lower front portion of the shin bone, the metatarsal band extends over the toes and lower foot, and the pair of trusses extend along the inside and outside in a parallel manner from the front of the foot to the ankle and up to the lower shin. A heel strap and heel cup attached to the pair of trusses extends around and receives the back of the boot, retaining the brace in place against the boot.

ADVANCED COMPRESSION GARMENTS AND SYSTEMS
20170100300 · 2017-04-13 ·

Advanced compression garments and their methods of use, including garments with compression applying straps, and associated sensors that are able to sense the compression applied to an underlying body tissue by the straps. Pressure and/or temperature information from the sensors may be conveyed to a wearer of the garment and/or to another party.

MECHANOTHERAPEUTIC DEVICE AND MEASUREMENT METHOD

A device for monitoring a treatment of posture of body parts in which a local mechanotherapeutic stimulus is applied includes an elastic material which is to be worn over the part of the body, a pressure regulating support, a pressure applicator and a pressure sensor. The support is fixed to the elastic material and passes over a region where mechanotherapeutic stimulus is to be applied. The sensor is rigidly attached to the pressure applicator and they are together received in a pocket. The sensor senses pressure and hence a stimulus applied to the part as a result of the tension in the support, the sensor being configured to output a signal indicative of the pressure applied, providing the opportunity to change the stimulus to within a given range based on the feedback from the sensor. A method for using the device is also disclosed.

WEARING-TYPE CORRECTING APPARATUS FOR HUMAN BODY AND CORRECTION MONITORING METHOD USING SAME
20250090360 · 2025-03-20 · ·

Provided is a wearing-type correction apparatus for the human body, wherein the apparatus can accurately detect compression intensity at a position close to a curved portion of the body to be corrected, and show data including the compression intensity to a user via a correction management service application installed in a user terminal. To this end, the wearing-type correcting apparatus for the human body according to the present invention comprises: clothing worn on the upper body of a patient; a curve compressor that is disposed on the clothing and compresses the curve portion to be corrected; an intensity adjuster that is disposed on the clothing and connected to the curve compressor by a wire, and that adjusts the compression intensity of the curve compressor by adjusting the amount of winding and unwinding of the wire; and a pressure sensor installed in at least one of the curve compressor or the intensity adjuster to sense the compression intensity.

Smart Tourniquet
