Description
技术领域
本发明涉及提供改善的动态响应能力的高性能假脚,这些能力与施力机制相关。
背景技术
Martin等在美国专利5897594中披露了一种用于假腿上的无关节假脚。与以前的方案不同,其中,所述假脚具有一种带有关节的刚性结构,以便模拟踝关节的功能,Martin等的无关节假脚采用了弹性脚插入部件,该部件被安装在脚模型内部。该插入部件沿纵剖面具有大体上为C形的设计,其开口向后,并且用其上部C-肢体支承假肢负荷,通过其下部C-肢体将所述负荷转移到与之连接的板簧。从下面看,所述板簧具有凸出的设计,并且大体上平行于其底部延伸,向前超过所述脚插入部件,进入脚尖区。Martin等的发明是基于改善无关节假脚的目的,兼顾到缓冲脚后跟的冲击,弹性,脚后跟-至-脚趾行走,和侧向稳定性,以便因此带着它以自然的方式行走,其目的是让使用者既能正常行走,又能进行体育锻炼和从事运动。不过,这种已知假脚的动态响应特征是有限的。需要一种具有改良了的应用机械设计的高性能假脚,它能够改善截肢者的运动能力,例如包括诸如跑、跳、快跑、启动、停止和跨越之类的活动。
VanL-Phillips提出了另一种假脚,据说这种假脚使截肢者具有从事多种活动的灵活性和运动性,这些活动因为受到了现有假肢的结构限制和相应的性能的限制,在过去是无法进行的。据称,现有假脚可以从事的跑、跳和其他活动,据报导可以由使用者以与正常脚相同的方式使用。例如,参见美国专利6071313;5993488;5899944;5800569;5800568;5728177;5728176;5824112;5593457;5514185;5181932;和4822363。
发明内容
为了使截肢运动员获得较高水平的性能,需要一种具有改善了的应用机构的高性能假脚,这种脚可能优于人体的脚,并且可能优于现有的假脚。截肢运动员感兴趣的是拥有高性能的假脚,这种假脚具有改善了的应用机构,高低动态响应,以及对齐可调整性,并且可能进行微调,以便改善运动的水平和垂直分量,这本身可能是一种特殊任务。
本发明的假脚满足了上述要求。根据本文所披露的一种实施例,本发明的假脚包括一个纵向延伸的脚龙骨,在一端具有一个脚前段部分,在相反一端具有脚后段部分,以及在脚前段和脚后段部分之间延伸并且向上拱起的较长的脚中段部分。还提供了包括一个向下凸出的弯曲下端的小腿胫。用一种可调整的紧固结构将所述小腿胫的弯曲下端连接在所述脚龙骨的向上拱起的脚中段部分,以便形成该假脚的踝关节部位。
所述可调整的紧固结构能够沿脚龙骨的纵方向调整小腿胫和脚龙骨相对彼此的对齐,以便调整所述假脚的性能。通过调整相反的向上拱起的脚龙骨脚中段部分和小腿胫的向下凸出的弯曲下端相对彼此沿脚龙骨纵向的对齐,改变了所述脚的动态响应特征和运动输出,以便满足需要的/理想的水平和垂直线性运动的特殊需要。披露了一种多用途假脚,它具有高的和低的动态响应能力,以及双平面运动特征,它改善了从事运动和/或娱乐活动的截肢者的功能结果。还披露了一种特别适合快跑的假脚。

具体实施方式
参见附图,在图3-5所示实施方案中的假脚1包括纵向延伸的脚龙骨2,在其一端具有一个脚前段部分3,在其相反一端具有脚后段部分4,以及延伸于脚前段部分和脚后段部分之间的向上拱起的脚中段部分5。在实施例中,脚中段部分5在脚前段部分和脚后段部分之间的整个纵向范围上是向上凸出弯曲的。
通过可释放的紧固件8和连接部件11,将脚1的直立的小腿胫6在其向下凸出的弯曲下端7的部分连接在所述龙骨脚中段部分5的接近的后部表面上。在本实施例中,紧固件8只是一个具有螺母和垫圈的螺栓,不过,也可以是可释放的夹子或其他紧固件,用于在紧固该紧固件时将小腿胫可靠地定位和保持在脚龙骨上。
参见图8,在龙骨的脚中段部分5的接近的后表面上形成了一个纵向延伸的孔9。例如,如图15所示,在小腿胫6的弯曲的下端7上同样形成了一个纵向延伸的孔10。可释放的紧固件8延伸通过孔9和10,它们可以在图5所示的A-A的纵方向上调整小腿胫和脚龙骨相对彼此的对齐,此时,紧固件8是松开的或者释放的,以便将所述假脚的性能调整到适应特定的任务。因此,紧固件8、连接部件11和纵向延伸的孔9和10构成了一种可调整的紧固结构,用于将小腿胫连接在脚龙骨上,以便形成假脚的踝关节部位。
从图1和2中可以看出调整小腿胫6和脚龙骨2的对齐的效果,其中,一个挨着一个的两个半径R1和R2表示脚龙骨中间部分5和小腿胫6的相邻的、相向的、拱起的或凸出的弯曲表面。当这样两个半径被认为是一个挨着另一个时,在图1中存在垂直于切线A的运动能力,在图2中存在垂直于切线A1的运动能力,所述切线是在以上两个半径之间画出的。这两个半径之间的相互关系决定了运动输出的方向。结果,脚1的动态响应力应用取决于该关系。凹陷的半径越大,动态响应能力越高。不过,半径越小,其反应越快。
本发明的假脚上的小腿胫和脚龙骨的对齐能力使得所述半径能转移,以便影响所述脚在运动活动中的水平或垂直线性速度。例如,为了改善假脚1的水平线性速度能力,可以进行对齐的改变,以便影响小腿胫半径和脚龙骨半径的关系。就是说,为了改善水平线性速度特征,与图1相比,在图2中使得脚龙骨的底部半径R2比其起始位置更远。由此改变了动态响应特征,并且使得脚1的运动输出更趋向于水平方向,其结果是,可以通过施加相同的力获得更大的水平线性速度。
截肢者通过锻炼可以找到满足他/她的需要的每一种活动的设定值,因为这些需要与水平和垂直线性速度相关。例如,跳高运动员和篮球运动员比短跑选手需要更高的垂直起跳高度。连接部件11是一个塑料或金属铝的对齐连接部件(参见图3,4和23),夹在连接的脚龙骨2和小腿胫6之间。可释放的紧固部件8延伸通过连接部件中的孔12。所述连接部件沿着小腿胫和所述龙骨脚中段部分5的接近的、后表面的连接部分延伸。
小腿胫6的弯曲的下端7是抛物线形状的,该抛物线的最小曲率半径位于其下端,并且最初在所述抛物线形状上向前,而后向上延伸。如图3所示,通过小腿胫的弯曲形成一个面向后的凹陷。所述抛物线形状的优点是,它具有较高的动态响应特征,它能产生与较大的半径近端相关的改善的水平线性速度,同时在其下端具有较小的曲率半径,以便具有较快的反应特征。如图1和2所解释,所述抛物线形状在其上端的较大的曲率半径使得切线A随着对齐的改变更多地保持垂直,这能产生改善了的水平线性速度。
通过紧固件14将暂用假肢适配器13连接在小腿胫6的上端。再通过紧固件16将适配器13固定在暂用假肢15的下端。通过连接在腿的残肢上的支承结构(未示出)将暂用假肢15固定在截肢者的下肢上。
在本实施例中,脚龙骨2的脚前段、脚中段和脚后段部分是由一片弹性材料构成的。例如,可以采用塑料性质的固体材料,它在地面反作用力的作用下偏转时,具有保持形状的特征。具体地讲,可以将与热固性环氧树脂层叠的高强度石墨或以Delran为商标使用的挤压塑料或脱气的聚氨酯共聚物用于生产脚龙骨以及生产小腿胫。与所述材料相关的功能质量提供了高强度以及轻质和最小蠕变。所述热固性环氧树脂是在真空条件下采用假肢行业标准层压的。可以将聚氨酯共聚物注入凹模中,并且可以对挤出的塑料制品进行机加工。所使用的每一种材料都具有它的优点和缺点。
所述弹性材料与硬度、弹性和强度相关的物理特征都是由该材料的厚度决定的。对于相同密度的材料来说,较薄的材料比较厚的材料更容易偏转。所使用的材料,及其物理特征与假脚龙骨和小腿胫的柔性特征的硬度相关。在图3-5的实施例中,脚龙骨和小腿胫的厚度是均匀的或对称的,不过,如下文所述,沿所述部件长度方向的厚度可以改变,如通过使脚后段部位和脚前段部位变得更薄,并且对脚中段部位的偏转更敏感。
为了提供具有高低动态响应能力的假脚1,将脚中段部分5制成具有纵向的弧形,以便该纵向弧形的内侧部分比所述纵向弧形的外侧部分具有更高的动态响应能力。为此,在所述实施例中,所述纵向弧形凹陷的内侧部分的半径比其外侧的半径大。脚后段部分4的后端17是向上弯曲的弧形形状的,它能在后跟受到吸收冲击的压缩力引起的撞击期间,对地面的反作用力作出反应。由脚后段部分4形成的脚后跟具有一个后部外侧拐角18,它比内侧拐角19更靠后和更靠外侧,以便在步态的起始接触期促进脚后段外翻。脚前段部分3的前端20的形状是向上弯曲的弧形,以便模拟人的脚趾在步态的后站立期的后跟抬起脚趾离开的位置的背屈状态。在脚前段和脚后段的下面提供橡胶或泡沫垫53和54作为缓冲材料。
由延伸通过其背面和足底面之间的脚前段部分3的内侧和外侧膨胀关节孔21和22产生了所述假脚的改善的双平面运动能力。膨胀关节23和24从相应一个孔向前延伸到所述脚前段部分的前部边缘,以便形成内侧的、中部的和外侧的膨胀支柱25-27,这些支柱产生了脚龙骨的脚前段部分的改善了的双平面运动能力。膨胀关节孔21和22在横向平面中是沿着图5中的线B-B定位的,它是与脚龙骨的纵轴线A-A呈25°-35°的α角延伸的,内侧膨胀关节孔21比外侧膨胀关节孔22更靠前一些,投影到矢状面上的膨胀关节孔21和22是以45°的角相对所述横向平面倾斜的,使所述孔的背面比足底面更靠前一些。通过这种结构,从可释放的紧固部件8到外侧膨胀关节孔22的距离比从可释放的紧固部件到内侧膨胀关节孔21的距离短,这样假脚1的外侧部分比内侧部分具有较短的脚趾杠杆,以便使脚中段部分具有高低动态响应能力。
脚龙骨2的脚后段部分4的前部还包括一个通过其背面和足底面之间的脚后段部分4延伸的膨胀关节孔28。膨胀关节29从孔28向后延伸到脚后段部分的后边缘,以便形成膨胀支柱30和31。由此产生了所述假脚的脚后段部分的改善了的双平面运动能力。
如图3所示,脚龙骨2的脚中段部分5和脚前段部分3的背面形成了向上的凹陷32,这样它就模拟了人脚的第五个运动轴线(ray axis ofmotion)的功能。就是说,凹陷32具有一个纵轴线C-C,它与脚龙骨的纵轴线A-A呈20-35度的β角,其内侧部分比外侧更靠前一些,以便促进步态中的第五轴线运动,正如人脚的第二到第五跖部的倾斜的低速转动轴线(low gear axis of rotation)。
当截肢者在不平坦的地方行走或者当运动员踏在脚的内侧或外侧时,就可以理解双平面运动能力的重要性。地面力矢量的方向从矢状的方向改变成具有向前的平面分量。地面会沿着与向外侧推所述脚相反的方向向内侧推所述脚。其结果是,小腿胫向内侧倾斜,并且其重量施加在所述脚龙骨的内侧结构上。针对这种压力,脚龙骨2的内侧膨胀关节支柱25和31发生背屈(向上偏转)并且翻转,而外侧膨胀关节支柱27和30向足底弯曲(向下偏转)并且翻转。这种运动试图将足底板的足底面放在地上(足底面等级)。
参见图6和7,本发明的另一种脚龙骨33,特别是用于快跑的脚龙骨可以用在本发明的假脚上。在快跑时人体的重心变得只能是矢状面取向的。所述假脚不必具有低的动态响应特征。结果,不需要脚龙骨2的脚前段、脚中段凹陷部分的纵轴线具有35度的向外旋转方向。相反,所述凹陷的纵向轴线D-D方向会变得平行于正平面,如图6和7所示。这使得快跑的脚只能沿矢状的方向作出反应。另外,膨胀关节孔34和35在脚前段和脚中段部分沿线E-E的方向平行于正平面,即外侧孔35是向前运动的,并且与内侧孔34成一线且平行于所述正平面。脚龙骨33的前端36也是平行于所述正平面的。所述脚龙骨的后端脚跟部分37也是平行于所述正平面的。这种改变对所述假脚的多用途能力产生了负面影响。不过,其性能特征变得更能适合特殊任务。短跑脚龙骨33的另一种改变在所述脚的脚前段部分的脚趾轴线区,其中,脚龙骨2上的15度的背屈增加到脚龙骨33的25-40度的背屈。
图9和10表示用于假脚的本发明的另一种脚龙骨38,这种假脚特别适用于经过脚的Symes截肢的截肢者快跑使用。为此,脚龙骨38的脚中段部分包括一个后部的向上的凹陷39,其中,所述小腿胫的弯曲的下端通过可释放的紧固件与所述脚龙骨连接。这种脚龙骨可以由所有下肢截肢者使用。脚龙骨38适应于Symes级截肢者相关的较长的残留肢体上。其性能特征是,在动态响应能力方面明显更快。其使用并非是这种级别的截肢所特有的。它可以用在所有胫骨和股骨截肢上。图11和12的实施例中的脚龙骨40还具有用于Symes截肢者的凹陷41,所述脚龙骨使所述假脚具有高低动态响应特征,以及双平面运动能力,类似于图3-5和8中的实施例。
假脚1的若干种脚龙骨的功能特征与其形状和设计特征相关,因为它们与凹陷、突出、半径大小、膨胀、压缩和材料的物理特征相关,所有这些特征与在行走、跑和跳跃活动时对地面力的反作用相关。
图13中的脚龙骨42类似于图3-5和8中的实施例,所不同的是,脚龙骨的厚度从脚中段部分到脚后段的后部是变小的。图14中的脚龙骨43的厚度,在其前端和后端是逐渐降低或缩小的。在图14中的小腿胫44和图16中的小腿胫45中示出了类似的厚度变化,所述小腿胫可用在假脚1上。脚龙骨和小腿胫的每一种设计,产生了不同的功能结果,因为这些功能结果与水平和垂直线性速度相关,它们是改善与各种运动相关的任务中的性能所特有的。多种小腿胫设计的能力和脚龙骨与小腿胫之间的设定的调整,产生了一种假脚小腿胫关系,它使得截肢者和/或假肢师具有调节假脚以便获得在多种运动和娱乐活动中的特定一项的最佳性能的能力。
在图17-22中示出了用于假脚1的其他小腿胫,并且包括C形小腿胫46和47,S形小腿胫48和49,和J形小腿胫50和51。小腿胫的上端还可以具有垂直的末端,在该近端连接了一个锥形连接板。可以将一个阳锥体螺栓连接在小腿胫的垂直端并且穿过该垂直端。还可以在小腿胫的近端和远端的长形孔中提供塑料或铝填料,以便接收所述近端阳锥体和远端脚龙骨。本发明的假脚是一种模块系统,优选由标准化单元或尺寸制成,以便具有灵活性和多种用途。
所有与跑道相关的奔跑活动都是沿逆时针方向进行的。本发明的另一种选择性特征,考虑到了作用在沿这种弯曲路径运动的脚上的力。当物体沿弯曲路径运动时,向心加速作用朝向旋转中心。牛顿第三定律适用于这种能量作用。这是一种相等并且相反的作用。因此,对于每一种“向心”力来说,存在一个“离心”力。向心力的作用朝向旋转中心,而它的反作用力,离心力的作用远离旋转中心。如果运动员绕跑道上的曲线奔跑的话,向心力将运动员拉向所述曲线中心,同时离心力将其拉向远离所述曲线中心。为了抵消倾向于使跑步者向外倾斜的离心力,跑步者身体向内倾斜。如果跑步者在跑道上的转动方向一直是逆时针方向的话,其左侧就是跑道的内侧。其结果是,根据本发明的特征,可以将左、右侧假脚小腿胫的左侧做的比右侧薄一些,并且可以改善截肢运动员的弯道表现。
在若干种实施方案中,脚龙骨2,33,38,42,43都是29厘米长,在图3,4和5,以及在若干不同小腿胫和脚龙骨的示意图中与鞋1成比例。不过,技术人员可以理解的是,假脚的特定尺寸可以根据装有该脚的截肢者的体形、体重和其他特征而改变。
下面将讨论在步态循环的行走和跑动站立期假脚1的操作。与惯性定律、加速度和作用力-反作用力定律相关的牛顿的三条运动定律,是脚2的运动动力学的基础。根据牛顿第三定律,即作用力-反作用力定律,可知地面推所述脚的推力与脚推地面的推力相等并且方向相反。这种力被称为地面反作用力。已经对人行走、奔跑和跳跃活动进行了多种科学研究。测力板研究告诉我们,在步态中出现了牛顿第三定律。通过上述研究,我们了解了地面推脚的方向。
行走/奔跑活动的站立期,可以进一步划分成减速和加速期。当假脚触及地面时,脚向前推地面,而地面相等地沿相反的方向往回推脚,就是说地面向后推假脚。这种力使得所述假脚运动。行走和奔跑活动的站立期分析,始于图3和图18中的后部外侧拐角18的接触点,该拐角比脚的内侧部分更偏后和外侧一些。这种在开始接触时的偏移导致脚翻转,并且使小腿胫发生足底弯曲。小腿胫一直在寻找一种位置,以便通过其胫转移体重,例如,它倾向于使它长的垂直部件处在与地面力相反的位置。这正是向后移动足底弯曲以便与地面反作用力相反的原因,所述地面反作用力向后推所述脚。所述地面力导致小腿胫压缩,使其近端向后运动。小腿胫下部的紧凑半径压缩,模拟人踝关节足底弯曲,并且通过压缩将脚前段降低到地面上。与此同时,脚龙骨2的上部的后面通过压缩向上压。这两种压缩力都起着冲击吸收器的作用。一旦小腿胫停止移动到足底弯曲状态,并且由地面向后推脚,通过偏置的后部外侧后跟18进一步加强了这种冲击吸收,它能导致脚翻转,它同样起着冲击吸收器的作用。
脚龙骨和小腿胫的压缩部件随后开始卸载,就是说寻找其原始形状,并且释放储存的能量——这会导致小腿胫的近端以加速的方式向前运动。当小腿胫接近其垂直起始状态时,地面力从向后推脚改变成垂直向上推脚。由于假脚具有后部和前部足底面重量承载区,并且这些区是通过非承重的长的弧形中间部分连接的,来自假肢的垂直方向的力会导致通过膨胀而对长的弧形中间部分加载。后部和前部承重表面是分开的。所述垂直方向的力保存在所述脚的长的弧形中间部分,此时地面力从垂直方向转移到向前方向。小腿胫膨胀,类似踝关节背屈。这会导致假脚旋转偏离前面的足底承重表面。脚中段的长的弧形从被压缩改变成膨胀。这样将储存的垂直压缩力能量释放成改善了的膨胀能力。
脚龙骨和小腿胫的长的弧形能抵抗其相应结构的膨胀。结果,限制了小腿胫向前推进,并且脚开始旋转偏离前部足底面的承重部位。所述脚龙骨的脚中段部分的膨胀具有与图3-5和8,图11和12,图13和14所示实施例的脚龙骨一样的高低响应能力。由于所述脚龙骨的脚中段脚前段过渡部分,相对脚的长轴线向外偏离25°-35°,内侧长的弧形比外侧长的弧形更长。这一点是重要的,因为在正常脚上,在加速或减速期间,使用的是脚的内侧部分。
所述假脚的较长的内侧弧形比外侧具有更高的动态响应特征。当以较慢的速度行走或跑动时,用上了外侧较短的脚趾杆。身体的重心通过正弦曲线的空间运动。它移动内侧、外侧、近端和远端。当以较慢的速度行走或跑动时,身体的重心移动的程度比快速行走或跑动时更趋向于内侧和外侧。另外,动量或惯性更低,并且克服较高动态响应能力的能力较低。本发明的假脚适合以应用机械的方式采用所述原理。
当地面的力向前推假脚时,该假脚向后推地面,当脚后跟开始抬起时,脚中段部分的长的弧形的前部的轮廓将该向后方向的力垂直施加在其足底面上。这是施加这种力的最有效和最有用的方式。假脚的脚后段部分的后部会出现同样情况。其形状还使得在开始接触时向后的地面力与垂直于施加力的方向的脚龙骨的足底面相反。
在脚后跟抬起的晚期,脚趾离开行走和奔跑运动,脚前段部分的轴线区背屈15-35度。这种向上延伸的弧度使得向前的地面力压迫脚的这一部位。对这种压缩力的阻力小于对发生在假脚步态和跑动的摆动期的膨胀和平滑过渡的阻力。在步态站立期的晚期,膨胀的小腿胫和膨胀的脚中段长的弧形释放其保存的能量,加强对截肢者身体重心的推力。
在前面提到过的几个实施方案中,脚龙骨的脚后段和脚前段部分的后部结合了膨胀关节孔和膨胀关节支柱。所述膨胀关节孔的方向起着斜接铰链的作用,并且改善了双平面运动能力,以便改善在不平坦的地方行走时脚的足底面的总体接触特征。
图9-12所示的Symes脚龙骨的动态响应能力明显不同,因为这种能力与行走、奔跑和跳跃活动相关。所述脚龙骨在4个不同方面有所差别。其中包括在脚中段部分的临近的后部存在一个凹陷,以便能比平面更好地适应Symes远端残肢形状。所述对齐凹陷需要弧形脚龙骨中间部分的相应的前部和后部半径更深入并且尺寸更小。结果,所有脚中段长弧半径和脚后段半径更紧凑并且更小。这明显影响了动态响应特征。较小的半径产生了较低的动态响应潜力。不过,所述假脚对上述所有行走、奔跑和跳跃的地面力做出更快速的反应。结果得到具有较低动态响应的更快的脚。
使用本发明的假脚,通过对齐改变可以获得改善了的任务专一性运动性能,因为所述对齐改变可以影响每项运动的垂直和水平分量。所述人脚是多功能单元,它能行走、奔跑和跳跃。另一方面,人的胫骨腓骨小腿胫结构不是多功能单位。它是一种简单的杠杆,它在行走、奔跑和跳跃活动中平行于它的纵向近端-远端方向施加它的力。它是一种不可压缩的结构,并且不具有保存能量的潜力。另一方面,本发明的假脚具有动态响应能力,因为这种动态响应能力与运动行走、奔跑和跳跃活动的水平和垂直线性速度分量相关,并且优于人类胫骨和腓骨。结果,存在改善截肢者运动表现的可能性。为此,根据本发明,松开了紧固件8,并且沿脚龙骨的纵方向调整了小腿胫和脚龙骨相对彼此的对齐。这种变化如图1和2所示。然后用紧固件8将小腿胫固定在脚龙骨的调整位置上。在此调节期间,紧固部件8的螺栓分别相对脚龙骨和小腿胫上的相对的、较长的、纵向延伸的孔9和10中的一个或两个滑动。
能改善跑步者在快跑时使他的脚平面开始接触地面时的性能特征的对齐改变例如是这样一种改变,其中,脚龙骨相对小腿胫向前滑动,并且足底在所述小腿胫上弯曲。这种新的关系改善了奔跑的水平分量。就是说,小腿胫足底向脚弯曲,并且脚以脚平放状态与地面接触,与开始的脚后跟接触相反,地面马上向后推脚,而脚是向前推地面的。由此导致小腿胫快速向前(通过膨胀)和向下运动。通过膨胀产生动态响应力,该力阻碍小腿胫最初运动的方向。结果,脚在跖部足底表面承重部位上方转动。这导致所述脚龙骨的脚中段部分膨胀,它比压缩的阻力更大。小腿胫膨胀和脚中段部分膨胀的净效果是小腿胫的进一步的向前推进受到阻止,这会使得用户身体的膝盖膨胀器和臀部膨胀器以更有效的方式向前和向近端移动身体重心(即提高水平速度)。在这种情况下,比脚后跟脚趾跑步者的情况下更向前更向上,该脚后跟脚趾跑步者的小腿胫向前推进受到开始时比脚平底跑步者具有更大的背屈(垂直)的小腿胫的阻力更小。
为了研究短跑脚的功能,对小腿胫和脚龙骨的对齐加以改变。所述脚龙骨的优点是其所有凹陷的纵轴线取向都是平行于正平面的。小腿胫是足底弯曲的,并且在脚龙骨上向后滑动。与平脚跑步者相比,这进一步降低了远端圆弧,例如,具有类似于图3-5和8所示的多用途脚龙骨。结果,在其改进的水平能力方面具有更大的水平运动势能和动态响应。
短跑运动员具有较大的运动、力和动量(惯性)范围,动量是原动力。由于其站立期的减速时间短于加速时间,获得了较高的水平线性速度。这意味着在开始接触时,当脚趾接触地面,地面向后推脚,而脚向前推地面。与起始接触的脚平底跑步选手来比较,具有较大力和动量的小腿胫被强制产生更大的弯曲并向下运动。所述力的结果是,通过膨胀对脚的长的弧形凹陷加载,并且通过膨胀对小腿胫加载。所述膨胀力受到抵抗的程度大于所有其他以前提到过的与奔跑相关的力。结果,所述脚的动态响应能力与所施加的力成正比。人胫骨腓骨小腿胫反应只与能量力势能相关,它是一种直的结构,并且不能够储存能量。在短跑时,本发明假脚上的膨胀力大于所有其他以前提到过的与步行和奔跑相关的力。结果,与人类身体功能相比,所述脚的动态响应能力与所施加的力成正比,并且可以加强截肢运动者的运动性能。
图25所示的假脚53类似于图3所示的假脚,所不同的是小腿胫和脚龙骨之间的可调整的紧固结构,以及用于与暂用假肢下端连接的小腿胫的上端的结构。在本实施例中,脚龙骨54通过塑料或铝连接部件56可调整地与小腿胫55连接。所述连接部件通过相应的可释放紧固件57和58与脚龙骨和小腿胫连接,所述紧固件在所述连接部件上在沿脚龙骨的纵向方向的方向上是彼此分离的。将连接部件连接在小腿胫上的紧固件58比连接脚龙骨和所述连接部件的紧固件57更靠后一些。通过以这种方式增加小腿胫的有效长度,可以提高小腿胫的动态响应能力。与其他实施例相同,与小腿胫和脚龙骨上纵向延伸的孔相配合进行了对齐改变。
在小腿胫55上端设置一个长孔59,用于容纳暂用假肢15。一旦纳入所述孔中之后,就可以通过拧紧螺栓60和61将暂用假肢固定夹在小腿胫上,沿所述孔将小腿胫的自由的侧缘62和63拉在一起。通过松开所述螺栓可以方便地调整该暂用假肢连接,将暂用假肢相对小腿胫伸缩到需要的位置,并且通过张紧所述螺栓,重新将所述暂用假肢夹紧到所述调整状态。
对实施例的说明到此结束。尽管本发明已经结合多种说明性实施例进行了说明,应当理解的是,本领域技术人员可以构思出多种其他的改进和实施方案,这些改进和实施方案属于本发明原理的构思和范围。更具体地讲,在不超出本发明构思的前提下,在上述说明、附图、和所附权利要求书的范围内的对本发明组合结构的组成部件和/或布置的合理的改变和改进是可行的。除了对组成部件和/或布置的改变和改进之外,其他用途对本领域技术人员来说也是显而易见的。
