Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a walking aid worn on the lower leg.

As one of the sequelae of diseases such as stroke, movement disorders such as spasticity and hemiplegia may occur. Walking is sometimes difficult when there is a movement disorder, and walking aids such as short leg braces are known as aids for ankle plantar flexion exercise in such cases.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an ankle leg orthosis configured to prevent the drooping of the toe (footdrop) that occurs between the heel contact and the sole contact during walking, and to exert a plantar flexion braking action. It is This ankle leg orthosis is intended to support the toes so that they do not droop during walking so that the toes can be stepped forward without being caught on the floor.

Japanese Patent No. 4156909

The biomechanical characteristics of the lower extremity during walking on a horizontal surface include a stance phase, a pre-swing phase, and a swing phase, which are said to be repeated in this order. The stance phase is initiated by heel contact and the swing phase is initiated by toe-off. The pre-swing phase is the period during which the upper leg swings out and the knee bends prior to the transition from the stance phase to the swing phase. During this pre-swing phase, the heel is lifted off due to weight shift, and a kicking action is performed with the tip of the foot.

In the short leg orthosis described in Patent Document 1, plantar flexion during heel contact during the stance phase is damped, but no consideration is given to the movement of the foot during the pre-swing phase. When walking is difficult due to dyskinesia, this kicking force tends to weaken, and the pre-swing phase is also important for stable walking. Therefore, in order to effectively assist the walking motion, it is desirable to have not only the plantar flexion damping action as described above but also a plantar flexion assisting action to assist the kicking motion in the pre-swing phase.

In addition, considering walking not only indoors but also outdoors using walking aids such as short leg braces, shoes must be worn after the walking aids are attached to the feet. Therefore, it is desired that this type of walking aid be compact, not bulky, and lightweight to the extent that it does not interfere with putting on shoes even when worn.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its object is to provide a plantar flexion damping action for suppressing foot drop and a plantar flexion assisting action at the time of kicking. To provide a walking aid that is compact and lightweight while assisting walking more effectively.

The solution of the present invention for achieving the above object is a walking aid integrally comprising a main body and a mesh-shaped molding, wherein the mesh-shaped molding extends along the length of the main body. a plurality of first direction portions extending along the longitudinal direction; a plurality of second direction portions extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction; and a plurality of connecting portions where the first direction portions and the second direction portions are connected. configured with The first direction portion is provided with a plurality of curved shape portions that are curved toward the back side of the mesh-shaped molding portion, and the curved shape portions and the connecting portions are alternately provided, and the curved shape portions Intersecting portions intersecting with the first direction portions and connecting portions are provided alternately in the second direction portions, and the mesh-shaped forming portion is provided with the main body. It is characterized in that it is integrally formed with the part and has elasticity that allows it to be bent and to restore its original shape.

Moreover, in the walking aid, it is preferable that the cross-sectional shape of the first direction portion and the second direction portion be elliptical or flat circular.

By having these specific items, when the foot is worn as a walking aid, the mesh-shaped molded portion imparts resistance to displacement in the direction of plantar flexion from the stationary position of the foot, The displacement in the direction of dorsiflexion from the steady position of the foot gives a biasing force in the direction of plantarflexion. Allows for both

Further, in the walking aid configured as described above, the mesh-shaped molded portion includes a plurality of third portions extending in a direction intersecting the plurality of connecting portions and intersecting the first direction portion and the second direction portion. It is preferable to have a direction part. In addition, the mesh-like forming portion has a plurality of fourth directions extending in a direction intersecting the plurality of connecting portions and intersecting the first direction portion, the second direction portion, and the third direction portion. It is preferable to have a part.

By having these specific matters, the strength as a walking aid can be further enhanced.

Further, in the walking aid configured as described above, the main body includes a tubular portion into which the foot is inserted, a mounting portion provided so as to cover the front lower leg, and the tubular portion and the mounting portion. It is preferable that the tubular portion, the mounting portion, and the connecting portion are integrally formed.

Moreover, it is preferable that the mesh-shaped molding portion is arranged on the front side of the main body portion, and is provided continuously with the mounting portion, the connecting portion, and the cylindrical portion.

Moreover, in the walking aid having the above configuration, it is preferable that the mesh-like molded portion is an integrated resin molded product. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size and weight, and it is possible to assist walking with good wearability.

According to the present invention, both plantar flexion damping action for suppressing foot drop and plantar flexion assisting action at the time of kicking are provided to more effectively assist walking motion, and compact and lightweight walking is achieved. It can be used as an auxiliary tool.

A first direction portion 31 and a second direction portion 32 are positioned on two sets of opposite sides of a rectangular shape surrounded by the third direction portion 33 and the fourth direction portion 34 . At the connecting portion 35, the first direction portion 31, the second direction portion 32, the third direction portion 33, and the fourth direction portion 34 are integrally connected.

In the mesh-shaped molded portion 3, the first direction portion 31, the second direction portion 32, the third direction portion 33, the fourth direction portion 34, and the connecting portion 35 are aligned in the length direction E and the width direction with the regularity described above. It is repeatedly provided in (circumferential direction) X to form an integral elastic structure.

The number of the first direction portions 31 and the second direction portions 32 included in the mesh-like molded portion 3 is not limited to the form shown in FIG. can be set as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the mesh-shaped forming portion 3 includes at least three first direction portions 31 and three second direction portions 32, and has five crossing portions 321 appearing on the surface side. The structure may be one unit (symbol U shown in FIG. 7), and a plurality of units may be repeatedly provided from the mounting portion 22 to the cylindrical portion 21 continuously.

Such a mesh-shaped molding portion 3 is connected to the body portion 2 at the second direction portion 32, the third direction portion 33 and the fourth direction portion 34 in a smooth curved shape and integrally joined. It is preferable that the first direction portion 31 and the plurality of connecting portions 35 adjacent to the first direction portion 31 in the length direction E are smoothly connected in a curved shape. Similarly, it is preferable that the second direction portion 32 and the plurality of connecting portions 35 adjacent to the second direction portion 32 in the width direction X are smoothly connected to each other in a curved shape.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the mesh forming portion 3 is provided continuously from the upper end to the lower end of the main body portion 2 . The mesh-shaped molding portion 3 is formed such that the curved shapes of the curved portions 311 and the crossing portions 321 are gradually reduced in size along the length direction E of the mesh-shaped molding portion 3 , and are smaller than the mounting portion 22 . The cylindrical portion 21 is made smaller.

The curved shape of the curved shape portion 311 is preferably substantially arcuate when viewed from the width direction X intersecting therewith. Similarly, the curved shape of the intersection portion 321 is preferably substantially arcuate when viewed from the length direction E that intersects the intersection portion 321 . As a result, the curved portion 311 receives a plantar dorsiflexion motion, bends and deforms in the curved direction, and returns elastically. In addition, the intersecting portions 321 and the connecting portions 35 ensure the strength of the mesh-shaped molded portion 3 during plantar flexion.

Next, the action of the mesh-shaped molded portion 3 when walking with the walking aid 1 attached will be described.

From the swing phase to the heel contact phase, as shown in FIG. 5, the mounting portion 22 of the body portion 2 is displaced in the plantar flexion direction M with respect to the cylindrical portion 21, and in particular, the connecting portion 23 is bent and deformed. Become. At this time, in the mesh-shaped molded portion 3 in the post-swing phase, the plurality of connecting portions 35 act to support the tubular portion 21 to lift the toes, prevent foot drop, and exert a plantar flexion braking action. . As a result, excessive foot drop is suppressed, and smooth heel contact is possible.

After that, when the heel touches down, the curved portion 311 of the first direction portion 31 is bent and deformed in the curved direction. The curved shape portion 311 that has undergone bending deformation stores an elastic force that attempts to restore the original curved shape. The mounting portion 22 and the cylindrical portion 21 are connected at an angle that is more bent than in the normal state. The intersecting portion 321 of the second direction portion 32 disperses the force applied to the curved portion 311 and ensures strength.

When entering the middle stage of stance after the heel contact period, the mounting portion 22 of the body portion 2 is displaced in the dorsiflexion direction N with respect to the tubular portion 21. A dorsiflexion assistance action is performed by the elastic force applied. That is, the curved shape portion 311 provides a restoring force to return the bent and deformed connecting portion 23 to a steady state, thereby enabling a smooth transition to the middle stage of stance.

When the forward swing phase is entered after the intermediate stance phase, the weight shifts toward the heel-off, and the crus 101 tilts forward. The mounting portion 22 of the body portion 2 is displaced in the dorsiflexion direction N with respect to the tubular portion 21 while supporting the forward inclination of the lower leg portion 101 . The curved portion 311 of the first direction portion 31 is bent and deformed in the curved direction to store elastic force. When the heel is lifted off, a biasing force in the direction of plantar flexion M is applied by the curved portion 311 that has undergone bending deformation. The urging force in the direction of plantar flexion M acts on the mesh-shaped formed part 3, which makes it easier to return to the normal position. becomes possible.

Therefore, by walking while wearing the walking aid 1, the plantar flexion braking action can be obtained by suppressing foot drop, and the kicking can be assisted to obtain the plantar flexion assisting action, which is more effective. walking is assisted.

The walking aid 1 according to the present embodiment is integrally molded with resin, and can be produced by, for example, a lamination molding method. The layered manufacturing method is not particularly limited, and can be produced by a device generally called a 3D printer (three-dimensional modeling device).

In a 3D printer, for example, a filamentized thermoplastic resin (modeling material) is melted in a nozzle, and the molten modeling material is injected from the nozzle to print. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing technology In addition, it is configured to be able to implement 3D printing technology of a liquid molding method using a photocurable resin. By molding using a 3D printer, the main body part 2 and the mesh-like molding part 3 of the walking aid 1 according to the present embodiment can be produced integrally.

Examples of resins suitable for use in liquid molding type 3D printing technology include, for example, "Durable Resin" manufactured by Formlabs, which has an elongation of about 45% and an ultimate tensile strength of about 30 MPa. can be used.

Since the walking aid 1 is an integrally molded resin product, it can be a compact aid that is not bulky, lightweight, and has a shape that fits the user's foot. Moreover, since the walking aid 1 is made of resin, it does not absorb water and does not become heavy. When the walking aid 1 becomes dirty, it can be washed with water, etc., and the ease of maintenance can be enhanced.

As described above, the walking aid 1 has both a plantar flexion damping action that suppresses excessive foot drop during the heel contact period and a plantar flexion assisting action that assists kicking during the pre-swing period. It makes it possible to assist the movement more effectively. In addition, the walking aid 1 has the body portion 2 and the mesh-like molded portion 3 integrally molded with a resin, so that the size and weight of the walking aid 1 can be reduced. Even if you wear it, it is difficult to affect walking, and stable walking is possible.

In addition, the walking aid 1 is not limited to the configuration shown in the above embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms. For example, the tubular portion 21, the connecting portion 23, and the mounting portion 22 that constitute the main body portion 2 are not limited to having the above-described forms, and may further include other constituent portions. Further, if the mesh-shaped molded portion 3 is formed integrally with the main body portion 2 and has elasticity capable of being bent and restored to its original shape, the first direction portion 31 and the second direction portion 32 are formed. The number, shape, and the like of these may be configured in any way.

The technical scope of the present invention should not be construed only by the above-described embodiments, but should be based on the claims. In addition, the technical scope of the present invention includes all modifications within the meaning and range of equivalence to the claims.
