Abstract

A cane foot is comprised of a first arc (2) disposed plumb to the cane head(1) and a second arc (3). In order to prevent balance problems whetherconnected or not with a corporeal discharge of the lower extremities whenrelearning to walk, the two arcs (2) and (3) having identical radii andconnected with each other, together form a concave support surface for thecane foot relative to the ground. The support surface relative to the groundis identical over the entire progression of the cane foot on the groundwhatever the position of the cane foot relative to the patient, providinggood stability, more particularly laterally when standing on one foot, butalso avoiding any inward or outward rotation of the cane foot about thevertical axis of the cane head (1).

Description

       

   <Desc/Clms Page number 1> 
 



  Pied de canne. L'invention concerne un pied de canne pouvant-être utilisé dans le domaine médical et plus particulièrement dans le traitement de la rééducation à la marche (post-traumatique, post-opératoire et troubles de   l'équilibre)-   On connaît déjà les cannes, cannes béquilles ou canadiennes, cannes tri et quadripodes. Celles-ci ont pour fonctions principales de diminuer la charge corporelle supportée par les membres inférieurs en appui bi et unipodal et d'obtenir plus de stabilité. 



  Il faut donc choisir le type de canne en fonction de la déficience la plus importante ; de plus, l'usage de certaines d'entre-elles n'est pas toujours aisée pour le patient. 



  La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients. 



  L'invention telle qu'elle est caractérisée dans les revendications   résout   les problèmes tout en gardant les mêmes fonctions. 



  Les forces exercées sur le pied de canne, dans le but d'une recherche de stabilité et ou de décharge corporelle des membres inférieurs, sont : contrecarrées grâce à la nouvelle conception d'appui au sol de ce type de pied de canne. 



  La recherche de décharge corporelle des membres inférieurs liée à une bonne stabilité de la canne et la mise en confiance psychologique du patient liée   à une   grande facilité d'utilisation de celleci, se trouvent accrues grâce à ce nouveau type de pied de canne. 



  Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent essentiellement en ceci que instabilité du pied de canne en appui au sol est fortement diminuée quelle que soit la. position de la canne et donc du pied de celle-ci par rapport au patient. 



  A tout moment de la rééducation à la marche,. on peut donc appliquer des forces de décharge corporelle et ou de recherche d'équilibre sur le pied de canne sans obtenir une instabilité de celui-ci- 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 2> 

 Les problèmes d'équilibre, liés ou non à une décharge corporelle des membres inférieurs, lors de la rééducation à la marche, est essentiellement présent lors des appuis unipodaux. 



  En effet, l'appui unipodal nécessite un transfert du centre de gravité corporelle du sujet du même coté. Celui-ci étant souvent trop faible voir inexistant, le déséquilibre du sujet s'opère principalement du côté opposé à l'appui unipodal donc surtout latéralement.. 



  Ce nouveau type de pied de canne permet d'augmenter la stabilité générale et plus particulièrement latérale du patient à tout instant de la marche et plus particulièrement lors des appuis unipodaux. 



  De plus, le cas échéant, les risques de rotations internes ou externes du pied de canne sont eux aussi évités grâce à ce nouveau type d'appui au sol de la canne. 



  L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détails à l'aide de dessins représentant seulement un mode d'exécution. 



  La figure 1 représente une vue de face du pied de canne. 



  La figure 2 représente une vue de profil du pied de canne. 



  La figure 3 représente une vue du haut du pied de canne. 



  Les figures représentent un pied de canne comprenant essentiellement un premier arc de cercle (2) situé à l'aplomb de la tête de canne (1) et d'un deuxième arc de cercle (3)- Conformément à la présente invention, les deux arcs de cercle (2) et (3) sont reliés entre-eux-

  Cane base. The invention relates to a cane foot which can be used in the medical field and more particularly in the treatment of gait rehabilitation (post-traumatic, post-operative and balance disorders) - Rods are already known, crutches or Canadian canes, tri and quadripod canes. Their main functions are to reduce the body burden borne by the lower limbs in bi and unipodal support and to obtain more stability.



  It is therefore necessary to choose the type of cane according to the most important deficiency; moreover, the use of some of them is not always easy for the patient.



  The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks.



  The invention as characterized in the claims solves the problems while retaining the same functions.



  The forces exerted on the cane foot, with the aim of seeking stability and or bodily discharge for the lower limbs, are: counteracted thanks to the new ground support design of this type of cane foot.



  The search for bodily discharge of the lower limbs linked to a good stability of the cane and the psychological confidence of the patient linked to a great ease of use of this, are increased thanks to this new type of cane foot.



  The advantages obtained thanks to this invention essentially consist in the fact that instability of the cane foot when resting on the ground is greatly reduced whatever the. position of the cane and therefore the foot thereof relative to the patient.



  At any time of walking rehabilitation. it is therefore possible to apply forces of bodily discharge and or of seeking balance on the cane foot without obtaining an instability thereof.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 Balance problems, whether or not linked to a bodily discharge from the lower limbs, during gait rehabilitation, is essentially present during unipodal supports.



  Indeed, unipodal support requires a transfer of the body's center of gravity from the same side. As this is often too weak or even non-existent, the subject's imbalance occurs mainly on the side opposite to the unipodal support, therefore especially laterally.



  This new type of cane foot makes it possible to increase the general and more particularly lateral stability of the patient at all times when walking and more particularly during unipodal supports.



  In addition, if necessary, the risks of internal or external rotations of the cane foot are also avoided thanks to this new type of support on the ground of the cane.



  The invention is set out below in more detail with the aid of drawings representing only one embodiment.



  Figure 1 shows a front view of the cane foot.



  Figure 2 shows a side view of the cane foot.



  Figure 3 shows a top view of the cane foot.



  The figures represent a cane foot essentially comprising a first arc of a circle (2) situated directly above the cane head (1) and a second arc of a circle (3) - According to the present invention, the two circular arcs (2) and (3) are interconnected-
