BACK GROUND OF THE INVENTION: The present invention relates to correction of the Spine deformities and deviations from the horizontal and vertical planes e.g. SCOLIOSIS. More particularly this invention relates to an apparatus and method for stimulating the deep back muscles (multifidus) ,abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles by applying a direct pressure on a specific points on human body that when are stimulated it facilitates up righting and straightening of the person’s spine. DESCRIPTION OF THE REALTED STATE OF THE ART: SCOLIOSIS and other spine deformities are found common these days between people, causing them pain in the back and psychological stress. Most of these people undergo a very difficult operations or surgical methods, physiotherapy exercises to correct it. To reduce their pain and stop progression of the curvature of spine deformity people started using several spine braces and belts that were made specifically to help this problem. however these belts and support devices suffers from a variety of drawbacks and disadvantages .for example a BOSTON BRACE covered by U.S. Patent Number 5,474,523 its fiberglass brace made to stop progression of the spine curve in scoliosis patients .but on the other hand it is heavy, bulky and/or uncomfortable, have to be worn 23 hrs a day making them impractical and not easy to use for people who require portability and long periods of use. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM An important feature of the present invention MEDICAL DYNAMIC BELT SYSTEM is its active method for correcting the spine dynamically by stimulating the specific muscles that are deep attached to the vertebral column by applying pressure through special points on the body and hence provoking up righting and correction of the spine curvature and deformity. Adding to that it’s lighter, thinner, flexible and very easy to apply on the body. unlike the earlier said device BOSTON BRACE which is bigger, harder and not so comfortable to wear for long periods, plus it works passively on the body and spine without any stimulation or activation of the deep back muscles which means its effect is only stopping the progression of the curve but not reducing the curve angel and when it is take in off the spine curve returns back instantly. OBJECTIVES OF THE MEDICAL DYNAMIC BELT SYSTEM • Offers a dynamic re-education of the postural deep back muscles, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles which are responsible for correcting and elongating the spine. • Stopping of the curvature progression of the spine and reducing the Cobb Angel (angel of the curve ) in Scoliosis patients • Offers better cosmetic look and appearance under the clothing • More freedom , flexibility and lighter to wear Therefore the MEDICAL DYNAMIC BELT SYSTEM provides more acceptable ACTIVE treatment for scoliosis patients being more flexible, easy to wear and by having no harmful side effects on growing patients .plus the ACTIVE method of activating the weak postural muscles of the spine. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF MEDICAL DYNAMIC BELT SYSTEM Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for stimulating the deep postural muscle of the spine that helps in correcting posture and maintains a straight spine and by that spine side curves and deformities can be corrected actively. The Medical Dynamic Belt System comprises of two belts, one is for the upper back (Thoracic spine) and second is for the lower back (pelvis and lumbar spine), each belt has first and second ends with a belt fastener .The Medical Dynamic Belt also comprises of an internal and external layer of an attachable surfaces and four pressure pads that are attached to the inner layer of the belt. These pressure pads are applied on special stimulating pressure points on the trunk (torso) along the spine. These special pressure points locations are: Front View: • Sixth or 7th rib space at rib cage (Intercostals space) • on the Bony prominence front part of the pelvis (Anterior superior iliac spine) Back View: • Under the Shoulder Blade (inferior angel of scapula) • Above the upper outer margin of the buttocks ( Glutei Fascia)
