Description

DESCRIPTION Posture Supporting Clothing Technical Field The invention is a posture supporting clothing (soft exosuit) that can be used part-time or full-time alone, as an alternative treatment material in cases where rigid corsets, which are conservative treatment materials for adolescents (10-18 years old) in spinal deformities, cannot be used or are used part-time. ) It is related to. The invention is particularly applicable to posture-supporting clothing, which allows the physical movements of the body (duration of use, pressure and tension rates and balance/imbalance situations) to be monitored with the help of sensors and to warn the relevant parties (doctor, designer and patient's parent) if requested by the patient or the patient's relative in special cases. It is relevant. Known Status of the Technique When the research on scoliosis, which is the most common spinal deformity in the world, is examined, the main conservative treatment tool is corset (Delisa, 2007; SOSORT, 2008; Konya, . The purpose of corset use is to prevent the spine from growing in the desired direction in a controlled manner as much as possible and preventing the progression of bending (Tumer). , 1992; Lonstein, 1995; Bezer, 2016), it is aimed to protect the spine by ensuring that poor posture develops in the desired direction (good posture). The necessity of applying a brace at a 25°-45° Cobb angle is a generally accepted treatment method by the medical world. The use of rigid and semi-rigid corsets, which are treatment materials with proven medical validity and reliability, has led the experts to look for a more acceptable soft corset design, however, the following problems encountered in the use of these corsets have led the experts to search for a more acceptable soft corset design. ., 2012), cosmetic acceptance (Frontera, 1014), duration of use, head injuries, and emotional intolerance of the corset. In addition, it has been observed that the cushions used in traditional corsets worsen rib deformity in the normal position (Herring, 2002). In addition, it has been determined that as the Cobb angle of the scoliotic curve increases, body image perception is negatively affected, negative perception causes low self-esteem, and all these parameters are factors in reducing the individual's compliance with treatment (Karanki, 2016). Due to the difficulties in use and compliance with treatment that arise due to these reasons (Aulisa et al. 2010), Toraco Lumbo Sacral Orthoses (TLSO) have been developed from different materials and thermoplastic materials with different densities. While the Boston corset is a semi-fabricated type of corset and is supported by head pads, the force pads in Wilmington corsets are designed on the corset itself. Charleston Bending and Providence night corsets are designed to increase patients' compliance with corset wearing time (Paul, 2014). It can be seen from the above-mentioned studies that the primary reason for patients' compliance problems and inability to accept the treatment material is that the people who need to use these corsets are adolescents (10-18 years old). For this reason, there are difficulties in the treatment of rigid corsets. In this case, the conditions of acceptability and use by the patient, which are the first conditions for treatability, cannot be met and the treatment process is interrupted at the very beginning. Another important problem is that the use of rigid corsets requires part-time use, that is, school-age adolescents do not want to wear their corsets during school hours. Additionally, as mentioned above, many side effects such as head sores, sleep disorders, and lack of self-confidence are observed during regular use. Studies conducted (Charleston Bending and Providence night corsets, etc.) reveal the necessity of using soft corsets that are suitable for part-time or full-time use, acceptable and capable of supporting treatment, for individuals experiencing such problems. Let's examine the products available in the form of clothing: https: i'ltheratods.com/product/posture-torso-aliqnment-pta-systemi' The posture supporting products included in this article are on neuro-motor development for babies, preschoolers, pediatrics and petite adults. It aims to support participation in routine activities with its posture and trunk alignment system. The use of these products is shown to the patient or patient's relative, and the posture alignment is done by them in daily use. However, the lack of standardization in the adjustment of the bands and the necessity of wearing and taking off the entire garment for daily needs (It has been seen in the prototype trials carried out within the scope of our research that, especially when such designs are worn over underwear, the crotch opening is not sufficient to meet daily needs. This makes it necessary to remove the entire garment. ) and the lack of arm design prevents shoulder stabilization. Considering the principle that the posture position can be fixed through the Pelvis, the fact that the hip (Pelvis) band part is exposed in these designs does not make it possible to fix it. https:i'lwwwspinecor.com/treatment/ When the products in the link are examined, although their intended use is similar, its biggest drawback is that it is generally sleeveless, as mentioned in the link review above. In the sleeve model, shoulder stabilization causes movement in the fabric and design positions of the garment, and this does not allow fixing on the body due to the daily activities of the body, which is a dynamic structure. In other words, as a result of the necessary pulling, the posture will make it difficult to maintain the standard of the position. In addition, the belts used in current products surround the arm under the arm and the belts in the groin areas create difficulties for the patient during the use process because they put pressure on the muscles in the joint areas. When the patent documents found as a result of the research are examined, it is seen that Exosuit designs focus on complex works supported by actuators and mechanical mechanisms.

As a result, due to the negativities explained above and the inadequacy of existing solutions on the subject, it has become necessary to make a development in the relevant technical field. Purpose of the Invention: The invention is inspired by current situations and aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. In our invention, patient acceptability was prioritized and the process was carried out by taking the suggestions and opinions of the patient and the patient's guardian during the production process of the invention. The fact that the products of the companies in the current technique are sleeveless and the tension bands of the products are completely adjustable by the patient or the patient's relative, raises the problem of not being able to fix the posture correctly and effectively. The fact that the adjustment and fixation of the posture position can be done by experts (medical doctors) and the necessity of adjusting it with routine expert checks according to the special needs of each individual brings with it an important situation. In daily use, leaving such an important task entirely to the patient or the patient's relative restricts the correct and effective support of the posture position, and may also lead to posture disorders as a result of incorrect use. In our invention, in the preliminary prototyping and application studies on this subject, the above-mentioned technical problems were tested practically and solution suggestions were offered. In the invention, ease of adaptation to individual features is offered with the gradual zipper systems used on the front closures and legs of the exosuit. Scientific solutions have been presented, such as using velcro fabric surfaces to correspond to the mounting areas of the pull straps, designing the mounting areas with gradual systems to provide modularity for different features, fixing the velcro fabric surfaces used on the main body, and supporting the pull straps with color features. In this respect, our invention is completely different from existing products. In its first applications, it focuses on posture and posture disorders due to spine problems in adolescents. Designed as an orthotic medical device that can be personalized to support the structural and functional properties of the skeletal system in the desired direction, the exosuit is a one-piece or two-piece garment that can be worn by the patient alone, after initial personalization by the specialist physician, externally over or under the underwear. The most important feature is that the product, which is personalized by the specialist physician, does not allow changes that may negatively affect the treatment process during use by the patient. In current designs, the application guidelines standard (adhesion locations of tension tapes, tension angle and degrees) are not clearly defined. This is a situation that will make it difficult to monitor whether the patient is using the garment correctly and will negatively affect the treatment process. In our invention, follow-up control can be provided with sensor supports upon the request of the specialist physician, the patient and the patient's relatives, while sensorless products have a mechanism that can be sufficient to carry out follow-up with routine patient checks. In the preliminary prototyping studies, it is envisaged that the patient follow-up control process will be carried out scientifically with routine physician checks (2-4 week intervals) and radiological imaging (3-6-12 months) determined according to the patient. The designs in current systems are very complex and cause difficulties in understanding and using since the majority of users are children and/or adolescents (the fastest spinal deformity occurs due to growth in adolescence). Additionally, the products are used for personal use such as going to the toilet, personal self-care, etc. In order to meet the needs, it requires complete removal, that is, all the tapes must be removed and reinstalled. Assuming that existing products are worn over underwear, the opening in the crotch is not sufficient to meet these needs. In addition, in some designs, the crotch part is wide enough to leave the pelvic band exposed, which limits the fixation of the whole body. This problem does not require the use of network access for personal daily needs in our invention. Such needs are met with the ease of opening and closing made possible by the zipper system used on the legs. The opening in the crotch was used only to reduce local pressure. Another problem with current products is that the same thickness of tape is used in each region, the tapes are not suitable for the body form, and the material tensions used remain below the required control power during the use process. In our invention, this problem is taken under control by planning and fixings under the supervision of a physician, thanks to the tapes specially designed for different body parts. For example; The shoulder band grips the body with dart supports suitable for the shoulder form. The waist band is cut perpendicular to the chest-hip angle and provides appropriate tension to the musculoskeletal system. Shoulder bands provide regional traction support in different thicknesses for the body and hips. Controls can also be collected scientifically with sensor supports. Exosuit provides the user with the convenience of being able to use it alone. Molds are presented (mounted on the body). For personalized fit, each size has a three-stage zipper system and the ability to adjust (expand and shrink) with additional pull/tension straps. Tensile/stretching bands are specially prepared in different thicknesses to provide full support to the posture according to the characteristics of the body. Again, the shoulder pieces are suitable for bidirectional or unidirectional use depending on individual problems. In summary, the exosuit has been prepared to allow different corrections for different postural problems under the supervision of an expert. Textiles used in the joint areas and curved lines of the body have a unique and special combination with die-cut features and material preference that will not disturb the patient. Special body construction to support the posture suitable for the musculoskeletal system in pattern cutting, raglan sleeve cut, comfort-increasing bird piece under the arm and a cutting feature at the crotch that provides comfort and will not put pressure on the bladder, zipper designs to meet the toilet need without taking off the clothing, shoulder belts prepared with a sewing technique that can take the shoulder form. It has customizable features. Air-supported (airtech), scuba and combed cotton fabrics used in material selection aim to increase preferability and daily use time with their anti-perspirant and breathable properties. Posture supporting clothing with the solution suggestions mentioned above; It is comfortable and offers ease of use by patients with its functional and simple structure, - There is no need to remove the clothing for personal care and needs, - It can be quickly adapted to personal differences with its modular approach (gradual zipper system in opening and closing, changeable belts) and can be used for long periods of time. Providing the opportunity to use the garment for a long time, - Providing the ability to control the patient's use of the garment, posture position, pressure values, elasticity monitoring and humidity measurements at desired intervals with sensor supports and transmitting them to the relevant parties. Problems Solutions Brought Uncomfortable dressing The materials used in classical corsets are hard and uncomfortable. . Our invention is a garment, not a corset. All surfaces are soft, except for the underwires and zippers used. Joining stitches are specially designed for underwear and will not irritate the body. Underwire and zippers. It is protected with special surfaces so that it does not come into direct contact with the body. The gradual zipper system in the middle front and inner leg and the free movement of at least one edge of the bands provide comfort during dressing. In personalization, limitation, adaptability and personal arrangements are possible. Shoulder, waist and hip bands can cause different adaptability limitations; a) different options, b) different types of scoliosis, width and direction for patients with kyphosis and neuromuscular disorders. It supports the easy elimination of restrictions. The velcro fabric surface used for the pull straps allows the pull straps to be adjusted and fixed to the main body. "Flat comfort parts" located under the zippers in the closing parts of the closing systems prevent the zipper part from touching the body and irritation and provide comfort. The desired posture on the middle of the body and the leg closures of the belts and bandages were determined as control points. With these points, the patient or the patient's relatives can control any displacement or slippage that may occur due to difficulty controlling any force position on the garment. This feature can inform the patient, the patient's relative and the specialist with the sensor technology warning system used in addition to visual signs. Thus, negative consequences can be prevented. Table 2: Current problems and solutions brought by the developed invention. In order to fulfill the above-mentioned purposes, the invention was developed in cases where rigid corsets, which are conservative treatment materials for spinal deformities, cannot be used or are used part-time; It is a posture supporting garment that fits the body in a way that does not slip from the body and has a main body that grasps the body; velcro fabric surfaces mounted on the main body in a way that does not hinder the flexibility of the main body fabric, in order to position the shoulder appropriately, it is mounted on the main body from the front of the shoulder and can be fixed to the velcro fabric surfaces by stretching the free end passing over the shoulder, gripping the body with dart stitches suitable for the shoulder form and arm Elastane-featured shoulder belts that provide posture positioning by passing over the shoulder to cover the beginning of the shoulder, elastane-featured modular waist belt that can be fixed on velcro fabric surfaces with velcro adhesives at both ends and ensure body positioning, and elastane-featured modular waist belts that can be fixed on velcro fabric surfaces with velcro adhesives at both ends and ensure body positioning.

Placket Detailed Description of the Invention In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the post'L'ir supportive garment, which is the subject of the invention, are explained only for a better understanding of the subject. The posture support garment that is the subject of the invention is designed as a 0rt0pedic product to be used in the biomedical field. This garment is a protective-medical garment intended to control congenital or acquired spinal deformities and support posture. It is also considered as an alternative to cases where rigid corsets cannot be used for spinal deformities and posture problems. It has a medical device feature with textile-based material, special underwires (5) and positioning bands (hip belt (11), shoulder belt (10) and waist belt (12) to correct body posture, support the spinal cord and improve posture. This design, It is envisaged to be used in problems such as kyphosis, scoliosis, pelvic asymmetries of the spine, and postural placement disorders of the shoulder. In the first stage of the invention, planning and molding the main body (1), shown in Figure 15, so that it does not slide on the human body, forms the basis for the invention. It is the element that fits the body and grips it in a way that does not slip. The material and mold cutting chosen are the main reasons for this feature. The design details that make up the main body (1) are of great importance in terms of the distinctiveness and functionality of the invention. The second part of the invention. Stage 2 is the raglan sleeve (2) application. Although there are generally no sleeves in existing products, cover sleeves or very short sleeves are used in studies that have sleeves. The raglan sleeves (2) used in our invention are an important part to ensure the shoulder and arm position when the pulling forces of the garment are applied, thanks to the velcro fabric surface (3) gripping the body and the appropriate raglan sleeve (2) length. With the raglan sleeve (2) cut and the bird pieces (4) used under the raglan sleeves (2), the arm muscles can be stretched in the arm stretching movement by using the velcro fabric surface (3) or belts (arm belt (10), hip belt (11) and waist belts). belt (12)) can prevent it from being damaged. The velcro fabric surfaces (3) seen in Figure 2 and the placement of the velcro fabric surface (3) on the main body (1) are important. The Velcro fabric surface (3) has regional plans that will regulate the use of the arm belt (1D), hip belt (11) and waist belt (12) by the patient. It is important that special velcro fabric surface (3) areas are designed to position the unstable points on the belts (arm belt (1D), hip belt (11) and waist belt (12)) to ensure the desired positioning. The important feature of these velcro fabric surfaces (3), which are soft enough not to cause any discomfort to the patient during daily activities, is that they have the strength to maintain positioning. In addition, the usage areas of the velcro fabric surfaces (3) form an integrity with the pattern cutting. This invention enables the use of the same product in different cases, with features that can adapt to the differences that may occur in the patient's body changes. The layout of the Velcro fabric surfaces (3) is planned in a way that does not hinder the flexibility of the fabric (3) of the main body (1) and supports patient growth. The use of the bird piece (4) under the arm is an addition that has not been seen before in the raglan sleeve (2) section, and leaving the bird piece (4) part open without being used at all is a feature that significantly affects the comfort and use of the invention by different patients. The use of underwire (5) is a feature that can be found in many corsets for aesthetic purposes, and it has been deemed important to mount these underwire (5) places in single and quadruple positions in a special position for the purpose, and to enable special placement of the underwire (5) within the underwire (5) places, with removable features. The velcro fabric surfaces (3) used to attach the underwire (5), the use of variable lengths of the underwire (5) according to regional characteristics, and the positions of the underwire (5) distinguish the invention from others. In addition, attaching and removing the underwires (5) not only makes it possible to use them according to the patient's special condition, but also allows the hardness (steel, plastic) of the underwire (5) to be adjusted according to the doctor's opinion. In Figure 3, the gradual zipper (6) system has been worked in three stages in the middle front and on the leg part, and a fly (16) (Figure 4) that will not irritate the body has been applied to the zipper line. There is a mesh (15) application at the upper end of the gradual zipper (6) to prevent it from opening during body movements and preventing the gears of the gradual zipper (6) from deteriorating. When the existing structures are examined, in previous studies, the garment legs were stitched and had standard leg patterns. In our invention, the closing feature with the gradual zipper (6) system mounted on the inner seams of the legs is an original approach to the use of the invention and patient acceptance. There is a cover (7) with a hand grip detail on the velcro fabric surface (3) to prevent the front stage zipper (6) of the invention, which grips the body and is applied with a certain pull, from being opened by fixing it. This cover (T) has a velcro tape detail sewn on its lower end, allowing it to be mounted on the body for ease of use. In our invention, the closure feature with the gradual zipper (6) system mounted on the inner seams of the legs is an original approach to the use of the design and patient acceptance. With the application of edge cleaning bias tape (8), it is ensured that there is no ripping on the edges of the garment and prevents thread residues from irritating the body. In addition, since the edge cleaning tape (8) is made of rubber material, ease of movement is ensured and seam bursting is prevented. The edge cleaning piping (8) made of rubber fabric shown on the site has technical details that ensure the harmony of the garment and the ability of the shoulders of the garment to remain stable on the patient when the pulling force is applied, with the collar gathers (9) applied at the distance between the chest and shoulders to prevent shoulder slippage caused by the chest opening. Its elasticity positively supports patient development. The tension band, called shoulder belt (10) of different widths shown in Figure 6, has been shaped with dart stitches so that it can be positioned appropriately on the shoulder, and is mounted to the main body (1) from one end in the most appropriate way, with a special cut, preserving the shoulder shape. The other end is left free to allow the patient to be positioned. Thanks to the strong velcro band features added to the free end, it has the tension force to enable the shoulder position to be pulled in the desired direction and fixed on the main body (1). There is a handle at the movable free end of the shoulder belt (10) that will facilitate positioning. The hip belt (11) of different widths is a tension band that can be easily applied in different lengths according to patient characteristics. The hip belt (11) has the tension force to allow the hip to be pulled in the desired direction and fixed on the main body (1), thanks to the strong velcro band features added to both ends. In addition, ease of use is provided by the handles at both ends of the hip belt (11), which enable easy attachment and removal. It is a strip tape with strong tensile strength that is thicker than the waist belt (12), shoulder belt (10) and hip belt (11) in different widths. This waist belt (12) has two free ends that can move independently of the main body (1) for appropriate interventions on personal problems. The waist belt (12) can offer accurate and effective positioning opportunities with its strong velcro band features at both ends, as in other belts, and handles that make it easy to put on and take off. In the invention, clothing application with soft sensors (13) is recommended. With the use of sensors (13), technological support is provided on issues such as the patient's duration of use of the product, monitoring the posture position in the ideal posture, monitoring the pressure applied by the shoulder belt (10), hip belt (11) and waist belts (12) at regular intervals, and humidity measurements in body sweating areas. . Sensor (13) data is used as a reliability-enhancing feature to quickly detect and intervene in disadvantages in achieving and maintaining pressure and posture positioning standards, which are one of the most important problems in soft materials. The invention can be functionally implemented with or without a sensor.TR TR TR
