Description

  The present invention relates to a hallux valgus correction supporter.

The hallux valgus was increased after menopause (due to a decrease in female hormones), pain appeared on the inside of the knees, soles, hips, etc. Yes. Even if the hallux valgus is cured by surgery, if you can't use your feet for a month or two, you may have difficulty walking due to muscle weakness and may be bedridden. When the hallux becomes stronger, pulling and releasing the thumb will release it like a spring without sound and will not open by itself. I'm always in the state of Janken Goo.
Conventionally, a one-leg hallux valgus correction device is known. In order to correct a finger whose return has become strong like a spring, in the case of the one-leg system, correction is impossible unless a considerably strong force is applied from the outside (see Patent Document 1).

  Just imagine a cupe bread shoe for hallux valgus, and women feel depressed. As soon as possible, it is necessary to light up many women who are troubled by hallux valgus, ballerinas using legs, fashion models, athletes, and women living in places of high heel culture. At the Beijing Olympics, Tosa, a women's marathon, abstained due to the pain of hallux valgus.

  When the hallux becomes stronger, pulling and releasing the thumb will release it like a spring without sound and will not open by itself. I'm always in the state of Janken Goo. According to the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment, the strength of the hallux spring can be utilized by the thumbs of both feet. That is, according to the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment, the right thumb is inserted into the right thumb holding part 7b, the left thumb is inserted into the left thumb holding part 7a, and the right thumb holding part 7b is pulled. The strength of the valgus spring can be used so that the right thumb is pulled to the left by the portion, and the left thumb is pulled to the right by the left thumb pulling portion of the base 5a of the base 5a of the left thumb holding portion 7a.

  One of the present inventors wears the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment for about 1 hour at bedtime every night. After 10 days, goo, choki, and par were ready. One month later, there was also a significant improvement in the overlap of the thumb with the second finger. Of course, the pain on the sides of the knees and soles was resolved.

The upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) are preferably a woven fabric made of elastic fiber material such as polyester or nylon, or a fabric made of elastic material such as rubber. Alternatively, it may be a woven fabric in which a fibrous elastic material is woven by plain weaving together with polyester or nylon. Incidentally, towards the sole cover 1b _b is stretchable than the instep cover 1b _t (elasticity) is more slightly smaller is desirable.

The center coupling means 31, the right thumb right coupling means 33b, the left thumb left coupling means 33a, the right forefoot right coupling means 32b, and the left forefoot left coupling means 32a shown in FIG. 4 use, for example, continuous fiber threads. The inner walls (inner surfaces) of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) that are opposed to each other are sewn at a substantially constant cycle, closely adhered in a line, and physically coupled It is possible to adopt a mechanism for causing Specifically, the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) may be sewn linearly so that the seam is exposed to the front using a sewing machine or the like. By twisting out the seam, it is possible to check the twist when the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment is worn.

Further, the center coupling means 31, the right thumb right coupling means 33b, the left thumb left coupling means 33a, the right forefoot right coupling means 32b, and the left forefoot left coupling means 32a are respectively made of independent fiber threads at equal intervals. The inner wall (inner surface) facing each other of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) may be linearly adhered and physically coupled as if they were penetrated like a stapler. . Alternatively, the inner walls (inner surfaces) facing each other of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) may be melted by heat or the like so that they are in close contact with each other and bonded linearly. The inner walls (inner surfaces) of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) facing each other may be linearly coupled using an adhesive or the like. The inner walls (inner surfaces) facing each other of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) are linearly coupled by chemical means, and the central coupling means 31, right thumb right The coupling means 33b, the left thumb / left coupling means 33a, the right forefoot right coupling means 32b, the left forefoot left coupling means 32a, etc. may be configured.

As shown in FIG. 4, the planar pattern of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) when not in use is the upper right side, the first right side that is bent at a right angle from the right end of the upper side, and the right side of the upper side continuous to the first right side. The right curved surface that extends in the extending direction, the second right side that extends in a direction perpendicular to the upper side that is continuous with the right curved surface, the first left side that is bent at a right angle from the left end of the upper side, and the upper side that is continuous with the first left side The left curved surface extending in the left extension direction, the second left side extending in a direction orthogonal to the upper side and continuing to the left curved surface, the lower end of the second right side and the lower end of the second left side connected to each other An apron shape having a breast pad portion and a front hook portion is defined by a lower side extending in a direction parallel to the upper side. Although the illustration of the plane pattern on the side of the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) is omitted, it is congruent with the plane pattern of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) shown in FIG. 4 when not in use. Same dimensions and shape.

Since the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) have the same dimensions and the same shape, when the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment is worn, Due to the raised volume, the area on the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) side is insufficient. If towards the sole cover 1b _b is by setting as stretchability than upper cover 1b _t (elasticity) is small, the shortage will be stretch (elasticity) is a large instep cover 1b _t cover the elongation Become. Growth of the instep cover 1b _t also help to tow the thumb.

Right curved surface of the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, upper cover 1b _t and foot cover from the lower end of the first right side spreads in an arc shape projecting below together is separated ends between 1b _b, the left curved surface, the end portion between the upper cover 1a _t and foot cover 1a _b spread in an arc shape projecting downward from the lower end portion of the first left side Are separated from each other. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, respectively is projected a second to fifth fingers of the right foot from between the upper cover 1b _t and foot cover 1b _b in contact with the right curved surface, the left curved surface instep cover 1a _t and foot cover 1a _b the second to fifth fingers of the left leg from between can be projected respectively in contact with. The second to fifth fingers of the right foot from the right curved surface, by the second to fifth fingers of the left foot from the left curved surface so as to expose, instep cover portion covering the leg (1a _t; 1b t ) And the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) can be minimized to prevent the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment from being damaged during sleep. In other words, the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment has a right curved surface and a left curved surface so that it can be freely opened at any time when not using the foot for sleeping, reading, watching TV, etc. It can be installed.

In FIG. 4, a seam 34 is shown along the upper side of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ), and a seam 35 is shown along the lower side. 1a _t ; 1b _t ) to prevent the fibers from unraveling at the upper side and the lower side, and is not a seam penetrating to the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) side. Although not shown, there are seams along the upper side and the lower side of the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper side of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the upper side of the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) are separated, and the left thumb and the right thumb are inserted. Can be penetrated. Similarly, the lower side of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the lower side of the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ) are separated as shown in FIG. 5 (a), and FIG. as shown in, instep cover the foot; _{(1b t} 1a _t) and; and _{(1a t} 1b t) foot cover between _{(1a b} 1b b), instep cover provided by the central unit coupling means 31 Two spaces into which the front feet of the right and left feet can be inserted can be formed on both sides of the boundary wall formed by the fabric of the back cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ).

The hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment can adopt almost common dimensions without depending on the size of the human foot to be worn. For example, in the plan view of the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment of FIG. 4, the thumb holding director l ₁ measured along the right thumb pulled part from the base 5b of the right thumb holding portion 7b in order 3~4cm It is preferable to set. Since it is symmetrical structure, of course, the length measured from the base 5a of the left thumb holding portion 7a along the left thumb traction unit also will be set to the same value of thumb holding director l _1. When the thumb holding portion length l ₁ is about 3.5 cm, the upper side width w ₁ shown in FIG. 4 may be set to about 6 to 7 cm, and the lower side width W ₂ may be set to about 16 to 17 cm. Left curved surface and the length of the upper side of the apron portion of the right curved surface from the connecting point P _L of the second left side and apron leading to the connection point P _R of the second right side (width) w ₃ is the lower length ( it is preferable to long about 1.5cm than the width) _{w 2.} That is, the length w ₂ of the lower part of the apron's front part w ₂ = 16-17 cm is set to the length w ₃ of the upper part of the front part = 17.5-18.5 cm, the second left side and the second right side It is preferable that the second left side and the second right side are slightly inclined so that the distance between the sides becomes narrower as it goes downward.

In addition, in the plan view of FIG. 4, the forefoot holding portion length l ₂ corresponding to the apron height of the apron is set to about 6.5 to 7.5 cm when the thumb holding portion length l ₁ is about 3.5 cm. do it. Furthermore, in the plan view of FIG. 4, when the thumb holding portion length l ₁ is about 3.5 cm, the length L of the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment is set to about 13 to 15 cm, The lower side of the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment may be applied to the arch.

As a structure that can be separated from each other without blocking between the upper side of the upper cover (1a _t ; 1b _t ) and the upper side of the sole cover (1a _b ; 1b _b ), the left thumb and the right thumb are , And the toe protrudes upward from the upper side, so that the pressure on the toe of the left thumb and the right thumb can be relieved. The foot type that tends to become hallux valgus is the long type of left and right thumbs, said to be Egyptian. It is said that the major cause of hallux valgus is that the thumb is gradually bent by being pressed by shoes for many years. The reason for projecting the toe portions of the left thumb and the right thumb is that it is preferable to release the pressure on the toes of the left thumb and the right thumb. Although the right thumb is inserted into the right thumb holding part 7b so that the toe protrudes and the left thumb is inserted so as to protrude the toe into the left thumb holding part 7a, the hallux valgus correction according to the first embodiment is performed. It is not necessary to wear the supporter too tightly, and it is possible to remove it easily without using hands at bedtime.

  As described above, according to the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment of the present invention, since there is no need to apply a correction force from the outside, the hallux valgus correction supporter that is not bulky and has a very smooth wearing feeling is provided. Can be manufactured at low cost. In particular, the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment has no sense of incongruity because the left and right thumbs are simply pulling each other. As described above, the hallux valgus correction supporter according to the first embodiment has a significant difference between lifting a heavy load manually and lifting it using a heel compared to the conventional one-leg type hallux valgus correction instrument. When the valgus is reduced, you can wear fashionable shoes, which is a great pleasure for women.
