Abstract
一种假足(1),包括足龙骨件(2)和连接到足龙骨件(2)上以形成假足(1)的踝关节区域的小腿胫骨件(6)。足龙骨件(2)具有前足部分(3)、后足部分(4),以及在前足(3)和后足部分(4)之间延伸并向上拱起的较长的中足部分(5)。小腿胫骨件(6)包括向下凸出式弯曲的下端(7),其可在其一部分处通过可调紧固装置(8)而连接到足龙骨件的中足部分(5)上。该可调紧固装置(8)允许在足龙骨件(2)的纵向上调整小腿胫骨件(6)和足龙骨件(2)相互之间的定位,以便调节假足的性能(1)。足龙骨件(2)的向上拱起的中间部分除了可通过伸展来吸收垂直负载的能量之外,还可形成有弹簧,在采用假足进行从步行到跑步及跳跃的各种运动中,该弹簧可被压缩吸收以恢复垂直负载,以及伸展开以恢复垂直负载。
Description
技术领域
本发明涉及一种可提供增强的涉及到应用力学的动态响应能力的高性能假足。
背景技术
在Martin等人的美国专利No.5897594中公开了一种用于假腿的无关节式人造足。与早期的具有设置了关节以模仿踝功能的刚性结构的人造足的解决方案不同,Martin等人的无关节式人造足采用了设置于足模制物中的弹性足嵌件。该嵌件在纵向截面上为大致C形设计,具有朝向后方的开口,采用其上方C形肢状物来承接假腿的负载,并通过其下方C形肢状物来将该负载传递到与之相连的板簧上。在从下方看去时,板簧为凸起的设计,并且基本上平行于脚底区域延伸,向前超过足嵌件而进入到足尖区域中。Martin等人的发明的目的是针对减小脚跟的冲击、弹性、跟-趾行走以及横向稳定性来改善无关节式人造足,从而允许穿用者可自然地行走,其意图是允许穿用者正常行走,并且还可进行身体锻炼以及进行体育运动。然而,这种已知人造足的动态响应特性是有限的。需要提供一种具有增强的应用力学设计特征的高性能假足,该设计特征可增强截肢者的涉及到例如跑步、跳跃、短跑、起跑、制动以及急停活动的运动能力。
Van L.Philips提出了另外的假足,据称其能够给截肢者提供可从事多种活动的灵活性和机动性,这些活动在过去因现有技术假体的结构限制和相应性能而无法进行。这些已知的假足可支持跑步、跳跃和其它活动,据报道,它可以与穿用者的正常足相同的方式来使用。例如可参见美国专利No.6071313;No.5993488;No.5899944;No.5800569;No.5800568;No.5728177;No.5728176;No.5824112;No.5593457;No.5514185;No.5181932;和No.4822363。
发明公开
为了允许截肢运动员得到更高水平的性能,需要有具有增强的应用力学特性的高性能假足,该足在性能上优于人足和现有技术中的假足。高性能的假足对截肢运动员来说是有意义的,其可具有增强的应用力学特性、较高和较低的动态响应,以及可以精确调整以增强活动的水平和垂直分量的定位可调性,这些在本质上是任务特定型的。
本发明的假足旨在满足这些需求。根据这里所公开的一个示例性实施例,本发明的假足包括纵向延伸的足龙骨件,其具有位于一端的前足部分、位于相反端的后足部分,以及在前足和后足部分之间延伸并从中向上拱起的相对较长的中足部分。还提供了包括向下凸出的弯曲下端的小腿胫骨件(calf shank)。可调节的紧固装置将小腿胫骨件的弯曲下端连接到足龙骨件的向上拱起的中足部分上,从而形成了假足的踝关节区域。
该可调紧固装置允许在足龙骨件的纵向上调整小腿胫骨件和足龙骨件相互之间的定位,以便调节该假足的性能。通过在足龙骨件的纵向上调整相对的足龙骨件的向上拱起的中足部分和小腿胫骨件的向下凸出的弯曲下端相互之间的定位,就可将假足的动态响应特性和运动输出改变成针对所需/所希望的水平和垂直线速度的任务特定型。公开了一种具有较高和较低动态响应能力以及双平面运动特性的多用途假足,其增强了参与体育和/或娱乐活动的截肢者的功能输出。还公开了一种尤其用于短跑的假足。
根据本发明的另一特征,增强了该高性能假足在各种活动期间吸收和恢复垂直负载或垂直冲击力的能力,其中,足龙骨件的向上拱起的中间部分设有弹簧,其在假足的使用期间可被压缩以吸收垂直负载,以及伸展开以恢复垂直负载。在示例性实施例中,该足龙骨件的拱形中间部分的后端向下且向前地卷绕而形成了弹簧。足龙骨件的后足部分通过该弹簧而连接到中间部分上。在假足的垂直加载期间,不仅通过伸展中间部分的拱形长度,而且还通过压缩弹簧来弹性加载式地储存能量。当作用于假足上的垂直方向上的力降低时,中间部分所储存的能量恢复。在垂直力可从低至三倍体重到高至十三倍体重而变化的从步行到跑步及跳跃的活动范围内,可以保持假足的适当功能而不会损坏。
通过对本发明的所公开示例性实施例的详细描述并参照附图,可以更加清楚本发明的这些和其它的目的、特征及优点。
附图说明
图1是示意性图示,显示了本发明假足的足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件的两个相邻并相互靠着的曲率半径R1和R2,其在步态中产生了该足在箭头B方向上的动态响应能力和运动输出,该箭头B的方向垂直于连接两个半径的切线A。
图2是类似于图1的视图,但是显示了这两个半径的定位在根据本发明的假足中已发生变化,以提高该足在步态中的动态响应能力和运动输出的水平分量而降低其垂直分量,因此,垂直于切线A1的箭头B1比图1所示的情形更朝向水平。

图34是图33所示假足的俯视图。
实施本发明的最佳方式
下面来看附图,从图3到5中的示例性实施例中可以看到,假足1包括纵向延伸的足龙骨件2,该足龙骨件2具有位于一端的前足部分3、位于另一端的后足部分4,以及在前足和后足部分之间延伸的向上拱起的中足部分5。在该示例性实施例中,中足部分5在前足和后足部分之间在其整个纵向范围上向上凸出式弯曲。
足1的直立小腿胫骨件6通过可松开的紧固件8和连接件11而在其向下凸出的弯曲下端7的一部分处连接到龙骨件中足部分5的贴近的后表面上。在该示例性实施例中,紧固件8是带有螺母和垫圈的单个螺栓,然而它也可以是可松开的压板或其它紧固件,用来在紧固件拧紧时将小腿胫骨件可靠地定位和保持在足龙骨件上。
参见图8,在龙骨件中足部分5的贴近后表面上形成有纵向延伸的开口9。在小腿胫骨件6的弯曲下端7内也形成有例如图15所示的纵向延伸的开口10。可松开的紧固件8延伸穿过开口9和10,这样,在将紧固件8松开或释放时便可在图5中A-A所示的纵向上调整小腿胫骨件和足龙骨件相互之间的定位,从而根据特定的任务来调节假足的性能。这样,紧固件8、连接件11以及纵向延伸的开口9和10构成了用于将小腿胫骨件连接到足龙骨件上以形成假足的踝关节区域的可调紧固装置。
从图1和2中可以看到调整小腿胫骨件6和足龙骨件2的定位的效果,其中两个相互紧邻的半径R1和R2代表足龙骨件中间部分5和小腿胫骨件6的相邻且相互面对的拱形或凸出的曲面。当把两个这种半径看作相互紧邻时,在与画在两个半径之间的图1所示切线A和图2所示切线A1垂直的方向上存在运动能力。这两个半径之间的相互关系决定了运动输出的方向。结果,足1的动态响应力的施加取决于这种关系。凹面的半径越大,动态响应能力就越强。然而,半径越小,响应就越快。
本发明假足中的小腿胫骨件和足龙骨件的定位能力可允许半径移动,因此可在体育运动中对足的水平或垂直线速度施加影响。例如,为了增强假足1的水平线速度能力,可进行定位变更以影响小腿胫骨件半径和足龙骨件半径的关系。也就是说,为了增强水平线速度特性,如对比图2和图1所显示的那样,足龙骨件的底部半径R2比其起始位置更靠近远端。这就将足1的动态响应特性和运动输出改变成更靠近水平方向,从而可通过相同的施加力来获得更大的水平线速度。
当截肢者的需求涉及到水平和垂直的线速度时,他/她可通过实践来找到能满足其需求的用于各种运动的设置。例如,跳高运动员和篮球运动员比短跑运动员需要更多的垂直升程。连接件11是夹在相连的足龙骨件2和小腿胫骨件6之间的塑料或铝制的定位连接件(参见图3、4和23)。可松开的紧固件8延伸穿过连接件中的孔12。连接件沿小腿胫骨件和龙骨件中足部分5的贴近后表面的相连部分而延伸。
小腿胫骨件6的弯曲下端7为抛物线形,该抛物线的最小曲率半径位于下端,并且以抛物线形最初向前、然后向上延伸。如图3所示,小腿胫骨件的曲率形成了向后的凹度。抛物线形状是有利的,因为它具有增强的动态响应特性,产生了与其相对更大半径的近端相关联的提高的水平线速度,同时在其下端具有更小的曲率半径,以实现更快的响应特性。抛物线形状的上端处的更大曲率半径使得参见图1和2来介绍的切线A在定位变化中保持为更加垂直地定向,这可以产生提高的水平线速度。
在小腿胫骨件6的上端通过紧固件14连接了暂用假肢转接器13。转接器13又通过紧固件16紧固到暂用假肢15的下端上。暂用假肢15通过连接到腿残端上的支承结构(未示出)而紧固到截肢者的下肢上。
在该示例性实施例中,足龙骨件2的前足、中足和后足部分由单件弹性材料形成。例如,可以采用本质上为塑性的材料实心件,其在被地面反作用力偏转时具有形状保持特性。尤其是可采用与热固性环氧树脂层压在一起的高强度石墨或商品名称为Delran的挤压塑料或脱气的聚氨酯共聚物来形成足龙骨件以及小腿胫骨件。与这些材料相关的功能性质提供了具有较低重量和最小蠕变的高强度。利用假体工业标准在真空下来层压热固性环氧树脂。可将聚氨酯共聚物浇注到阴模中,并对挤压塑料进行机加工。每种材料的使用都具有其优点和缺点。
弹性材料的例如涉及刚度、挠度和强度的物理性质全部由材料的厚度决定。较薄材料比同样密度的较厚材料更容易偏转。所采用的材料及物理性能与假足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件的刚度和挠度特性相关。在图3到5所示的示例性实施例中,足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件的厚度是均匀的或对称的,但是,厚度可在这些部件的长度上以下面将讨论的方式变化,例如可使后足和前足区域更薄一些,并且对中足区域的偏转更敏感。
为了帮助向假足1提供高、低动态响应能力,将中足部分5形成为纵向的拱形,使得纵向拱形的内侧比纵向拱形的外侧具有相对更高的动态响应能力。为此,在该示例性实施例中,纵向拱形的凹面的内侧在半径上比其外侧更大。后足部分4的后端17成形为向上弯曲的拱形,可在脚跟冲击期间通过压缩减震来对地面反作用力作出反应。后足部分4所形成的脚跟形成有后外角部18,该角部18比内侧角部19更靠后侧和更靠外侧,以促进后足在步态的初始接触阶段中进行外翻。前足部分3的前端20成形为向上弯曲的拱形,以模拟在步态最后站立阶段中的脚跟抬起脚趾离地位置中处于背屈状态下的人脚趾。在前足和后足的下部设有作为缓冲垫的橡胶或泡沫衬垫53和54。
在前足部分3的背面和足底面之间延伸穿过前足部分3的内侧伸展接合孔21和外侧伸展接合孔22产生了假足的增强的双平面运动能力。伸展连接部分23和24从相应孔中向前延伸到前足部分的前边沿,以形成内侧、中部和外侧的伸展支撑25、26和27,其带来了足龙骨件的前足部分的增强的双平面运动能力。伸展接合孔21和22沿图5中的线B-B设置在相对于足龙骨件纵向轴线A-A成350的α角延伸的横向平面内,其中内侧伸展接合孔21比外侧伸展接合孔22更靠前。投射在矢状面上的伸展接合孔21和22相对于横向平面倾斜成450角,其中孔的背面比足底面更靠前。采用这种设置,从可松开的紧固件8到外侧伸展接合孔22的距离比从可松开的紧固件到内侧伸展接合孔21的距离更短,使得假足1的外侧部分比内侧具有更短的脚趾杠杆(toe lever),以实现中足的高和低的动态响应。
足龙骨件2的后足部分4的前部还包括在后足部分4的背面和足底面之间延伸穿过后足部分4的伸展接合孔28。伸展连接部分29从孔28中向后延伸到后足部分的后边沿,以形成伸展支撑30和31。这样就为假足的后足部分带来了增强的双平面运动能力。
如图3所示,足龙骨件2的中足部分5和前足部分3的背面形成了朝上的凹面32,使得它能够在功能上模仿人足的第五趾运动轴线。也就是说,凹面32具有定位成相对于足龙骨件纵向轴线A-A成20°到35°的角13的纵向轴线C-C,其中,内侧比外侧更靠前,以便促进步态的第五趾运动,如同在人足中的第二到第五趾骨的旋转的倾斜的低速档旋转轴线中一样。
当截肢者在不平的地势上行走或运动员在足上向内或向外急停时,便可理解到双平面运动能力的重要性。地面作用力矢量的方向从矢状定位改变到具有额平面分量。地面将在与足向外作用相反的方向上向内作用。结果,小腿胫骨件向内侧倾斜,并且重力施加到足龙骨件的内侧结构上。响应于这些压力,足龙骨件2的内侧伸展连接支撑25和31背屈(向上偏转)并内翻,而外侧伸展连接支撑27和30足底屈曲(向下偏转)并外翻。这一运动用来将脚掌的足底面放在地面上(足底触地)。
参见图6和7,在本发明的假足中可以使用本发明的另一足龙骨件33,其尤其适用于短跑。在短跑中,身体的重心变成基本上仅沿矢状面定位。假足不需要具有低动态响应特性。结果,不需要象在足龙骨件2中那样使前足、中足凹面的纵向轴线定位在35°的外部旋转方位上。相反,如在图6和7中所示,凹面的纵向轴线D-D的方位应当变成与额平面平行。这就使得短跑足仅在矢状方向作出反应。另外,前足和中足部分中的伸展接合孔34和35的方位沿着线E-E平行于额平面,即外侧孔35向前移动到与内侧孔34成一直线,并平行于额平面。足龙骨件33的前末端36也制成为与额平面平行。足龙骨件的后末端脚跟区域37也平行于额平面。这些修改会对假足的多用途性能带来不利影响。然而,它的性能特征是针对特定任务的。短跑足龙骨件33的另一个变型在该假足的前足部分的脚趾区域中,其中将足龙骨件2中的15°背屈增大为足龙骨件33中的25-40°背屈。
图9和10显示了本发明的另一足龙骨件38,它可用在尤其适用于做过Symes切断术的截肢者进行短跑的假足中。为此,足龙骨件38的中足部分包括靠后的向上凹面39,其中可通过可松开的紧固件来将小腿胫骨件的弯曲下端连接到足龙骨件上。所有的下肢截肢者都可采用这种足龙骨件。足龙骨件38可适用于与Symes级截肢者相关的较长余肢。它的性能特征在动态响应性能方面快得多。它的应用并不专门用于这种程度的截肢。可将其应用在所有穿过胫骨和穿过股骨的截肢状况中。在图11和12的示例性实施例中,足龙骨件40还具有用于Symes截肢者的凹面41,该足龙骨件向假足提供了与图3-5和8所示示例性实施例中的相似的高、低动态响应特性,以及双平面运动性能。
用于假足1的几个足龙骨件的功能特征与形状和设计特征相关,它们涉及到凹面、凸面、半径大小、伸展、压缩以及材料的物理性能,所有这些性质涉及到对行走、跑步和跳跃活动中的地面作用力作出反应。
图13中的足龙骨件42与图3-5和8所示示例性实施例中的相类似,不同之处在于,足龙骨件的厚度从中足部分朝向后足的后部变细。图14中的足龙骨件43的厚度在其前端和后端处逐渐减小或变细。图14中的小腿胫骨件44和图16中的小腿胫骨件45显示了厚度上的类似变化,它们都可以用在假足1中。足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件的每一项设计都会产生不同的功能输出,这是因为这些功能输出涉及到水平和垂直的线速度,而这些速度在不同的运动任务中对于提高性能来说是特定的。多种小腿胫骨件结构以及足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件之间的设置调整的能力产生了假足小腿胫骨件的关系,该关系使得截肢者和/或修复学家具备在各种各样的体育和休闲活动中的一种选出活动中将假足调节到最高性能的能力。
在图17-22中显示了用于假足1的其它小腿胫骨件,包括C形小腿胫骨件46和47,S形小腿胫骨件48和49,以及J形小腿胫骨件50和51。小腿胫骨件的上端还可包括笔直的垂直端,其带有连接到该最近末端上的棱形连板。可将公锥形螺栓(male pyramid)穿过该小腿胫骨件的垂直端而形成螺栓接合。还可在小腿胫骨件的近端和远端处的延伸开口内设置用来接受相邻公锥形螺栓和远端足龙骨件的塑料或铝填充物。本发明的假足是优选由标准化的单元或尺寸构造成的模块化系统,以便满足使用中的灵活性和多样性。
所有与轨道相关的赛跑运动都是以逆时针方向进行的。本发明的另一可选特征考虑到了作用在沿着这种弯曲路径前进的足上的力。当物体沿弯曲路径运动时,向心加速度朝向旋转中心起作用。牛顿第三定律适合于能量作用。存在有相等且相反的反作用力。因此,对每一“向心”力来说,都存在有一个“离心”力。向心力朝向旋转中心作用,而离心力即反作用力远离旋转中心作用。当运动员在跑道上围绕曲线跑步时,向心力会将跑步者拉向曲线的中心,而离心力会将跑步者拉离曲线的中心。为了抵消试图让跑步者向外倾斜的离心力,跑步者要向内倾斜。如果跑步者在跑道上的旋转方向一直是逆时针的,则左侧是跑道的内侧。结果,根据本发明的特征,可将左、右假足小腿胫骨件的左侧制成为比右侧更厚,以增强截肢跑步者的曲线性能。
在若干实施例中,足龙骨件2,33,38,42和43均是29厘米长,其与鞋子1的长度成一定比例,并且在图3、4和5以及不同小腿胫骨件和足龙骨件的若干视图中按比例示出。然而,本领域的普通技术人员容易理解,假足的具体尺寸可根据要配备此足的截肢者的大小、重量和其它特征的情况而变。
下面来看假足1在行走和跑步站立阶段的步态周期内的工作情况。牛顿的涉及到惯性、加速度以及作用力与反作用力的运动三定律是足2的运动学基础。从牛顿第三定律即作用力与反作用力定律中已知,地面对足的作用力与足对地面的作用力方向相等且大小相反。它们称为地面反作用力。关于人的步态、跑步以及跳跃活动已经进行了许多科学研究。测力板的研究表明,在步态中遵循牛顿第三定律。从这些研究中可以知道地面对足的作用力的方向。
可将行走/跑步活动的站立阶段进一步分解成减速和加速阶段。当假足接触地面时,足在地面上向前施加力,地面以相等且方向相反的方式进行反作用,也就是说,地面对假足向后施加作用。这一作用力使假足运动。行走和跑步活动的站立阶段分析从图3和18中的后外角部18成为接触点开始,其比足的内侧更向后和向外偏移。在初始接触时,这种偏移导致足向外翻,而小腿胫骨件向足底屈曲。小腿胫骨件总是在寻找可通过其胫骨来传递体重的位置,例如,其倾向于将其较长的垂直件置于可抵抗地面作用力的位置。这就是为何它使向后的足底屈曲移动到可抵抗向后作用在足上的地面反作用力。地面作用力导致小腿胫骨件压缩,并且其近端向后移动。小腿胫骨件的较小半径压缩,以模拟人的踝关节足底屈曲,通过压缩来将前足放在地面上。同时,足龙骨件2的顶部后侧通过压缩而向上压。这两种压缩作用力起作吸震的作用。一旦小腿胫骨件停止运动到足底屈曲中并且地面对足向后施加作用,那么后外侧脚跟18的偏移可进一步增强这种吸震作用,该偏移会导致足外翻,也起到吸震的作用。
然后,足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件的已压缩件开始卸载,即它们设法回到其初始形状并释放掉所储存的能量,这导致小腿胫骨件的近端以加速的方式向前移动。当小腿胫骨件接近其垂直的初始位置时,地面作用力由对足向后作用改变为对足垂直向上作用。由于假足具有后侧和前侧足底面承重区域,并且它们由非承重的长拱形中间部分相连,因此来自假肢的垂直方向的作用力促使该长拱形的中间部分通过伸展来承受负载。后侧和前侧承重表面是分开的。由于地面作用力在性质上从垂直地转变成朝向前侧,因此这些垂直方向的作用力储存在足的长拱形中间部分内。小腿胫骨件可伸展,以模拟踝的背屈。这会导致假足枢轴转动而离开前侧足底承重表面。后足的长拱形从压缩态变化到伸展态。这就将所储存的垂直压缩力能量释放出来,以增强伸展性能。
足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件的长拱形会阻碍它们各自结构的伸展。结果,小腿胫骨件的向前运动被阻止,足就开始枢轴转动而离开前侧足底承重表面。在图3-5和8、图11和12、图13和图14的示例性实施例所示的足龙骨件中,足龙骨件的中足部分的伸展具有高、低响应能力。由于这些足龙骨件的中足与前足过渡区域从足纵轴线向外偏离25°到35°,因此内侧长拱形部分比外侧长拱形部分更长。这是很重要的,因为在正常的足中,足的内侧在加速或减速期间要被用到。
假足的更长内侧拱形具有比外侧更大的动态响应特性。在慢速的行走或跑步中采用了外侧更短的脚趾杠杆。身体的重心以正弦曲线在空间中运动。它向内侧、外侧、近端和远端运动。在慢速地行走或跑步时,身体的重心比在快速行走或跑步时更向内侧和外侧运动。此外,动量或惯性更小,并且克服更高动态响应能力的能力更小。本发明的假足适合于适应这些应用力学中的原理。
当地面作用力在假足上向前施加作用且假足在地面上被向后施加作用时,由于脚跟开始提升,因此中足部分的长拱形的前部的轮廓形成为可垂直于其足底面来施加这些朝后的作用力。这是施加这些作用力的最有效和最有效率的方法。关于假足的后侧后足部分存在相同的情况。它还成形为使得在初始接触时的向后地面作用力与足龙骨件的垂直其施力方向的足底面相反。
在脚跟提升、脚趾离地的行走和跑步活动的随后阶段中,前足部分的趾区域产生15°-35°的背屈。这种向上延伸的弓形允许向前地面作用力来压缩足的该区域。这种压缩比伸展受到更少的阻力,并且在假足的步态和跑步的摇摆阶段中实现平稳的过渡。在步态站立阶段的随后过程中,伸展的小腿胫骨件和伸展的中足长拱形部分将它们所储存的能量释放出来,以促进截肢者的身体重心的推进。
在前面提到的几个实施例中,足龙骨件的后足和前足区域的后部结合有伸展接合孔和伸展接合支撑。当在不平坦的地势上行走时,伸展接合孔的方位起到斜接铰链的作用,增强了双平面运动性能,以便改善足底面的整体接触特性。
图9-12中的Symes足龙骨件在动态响应性能方面是显著不同的,这是因为这些性能与行走、跑步和跳跃活动相关。这些足龙骨件在四个显著特征上不同。这些情况包括在中足部分的贴近后部中存在有凹面,其可比平坦表面更好地适应Symes远端残肢形状。定位凹面要求拱形足龙骨件的中间部分的对应前侧和后侧半径更具活动性,并且尺寸更小。结果,所有中足长拱形半径和后足半径都是更密且更小的。这会显著地影响动态响应特性。更小的半径导致更小的动态响应。然而,假足对所有上述行走、跑步和跳跃的地面作用力的响应更快。结果是具有更小动态响应的更快的足。
采用本发明的假足便可通过定位变更来实现增强的任务特定型运动性能,这是因为这些定位变更会影响各任务的垂直和水平分量。人足是多功能的单元,其可行走、跑步和跳跃。另一方面,人的胫腓骨小腿胫骨结构不是多功能的单元。它是可在行走、跑步和跳跃活动中平行于其较长的近端-远端方位施加其作用力的简单杠杆。它是不可压缩的结构,并且不能储存能量。另一方面,本发明的假足具有动态响应能力,这是因为这些动态响应能力与运动员的行走、跑步和跳跃活动的水平和垂直线速度分量相关,并且优于人的胫骨和腓骨。结果就可以增强截肢者的运动性能。为此,根据本发明,可松开紧固件8并沿足龙骨件的纵向来调整小腿胫骨件和足龙骨件相互之间的定位。在图1和2中显示了这种变化。然后,在调整后的位置上用紧固件8将小腿胫骨件紧固到足龙骨件上。在调整期间,紧固件8的螺栓可相对于分别位于足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件内的相对且较长的纵向延伸开口9和10中的一个或两个滑动。
增强了跑步者的性能特征的定位变更是一种足龙骨件相对于小腿胫骨件向前滑动且足底在小腿胫骨件上屈曲的定位变更,其中跑步者以脚掌来与地面进行初始接触,如短跑者一样。这种新的关系提高了跑步的水平分量。换句话说,由于小腿胫骨件的底面向足屈曲,并且与最初的脚跟接触相反,足以脚掌着地的位置与地面接触,因此地面会直接向后对足施加作用,而足会向前对地面施加作用。这会使得小腿胫骨件向前(通过伸展)和向下快速运动。通过会阻碍小腿胫骨件的初始运动方向的伸展而产生了动态响应力。结果,足就在趾骨足底面承重区域上枢轴转动。这会导致龙骨件的中足区域伸展,该伸展比压缩受到的更大阻碍。小腿胫骨件的伸展和中足的伸展的总效应是小腿胫骨件的进一步向前运动受到阻碍,这便允许使用者体内的膝伸展结构和臀伸展结构以更有效的方式向前和朝向近端来移动身体的重心(即水平速度增加)。在这种情况下,与跟趾跑步者相比,重心更向前而非更向上,跟趾跑步者的小腿胫骨件的向前运动受到小腿胫骨件的更少阻碍,并且开始受到比脚掌着地跑步者更多的背屈(垂直的)。
为在功能上分析该短跑用足,对小腿胫骨件和足龙骨件进行了定位变更。可以利用所有凹面均具有平行于额平面的纵向轴线方位的足龙骨件。小腿胫骨件是足底屈曲的,并可在足龙骨件上向后滑动。与带有类似于例如在图3-5和8中所示的多用途足龙骨件的平足跑步者相比,这使远端圆进一步减小。结果,实现了进一步增强的水平运动,并且动态响应融入到这种增强的水平能力中。
短跑运动员具有增加的运动、作用力和动量(惯性)的范围,其中动量是主导力。由于他们的站立阶段中的减速阶段短于其加速阶段,因此可实现增加的水平线速度。这意味着在初始接触中,当脚趾接触地面时,地面会向后对足施加作用,而足会向前对地面施加作用。与脚掌着地跑步者的初始接触相比,具有增加的作用力和动量的小腿胫骨件就被迫进入到还更大的屈曲和向下运动中。由于这些作用力的结果,通过伸展来对足的长拱形凹面加载,并且通过伸展来对小腿胫骨件加载。这些伸展作用力比与跑步相关的所有其它上述作用力受到更大程度的阻碍。结果,足的动态响应能力与所施加的力成比例。人的胫腓骨小腿胫骨响应只与能量力势有关,它是笔直的结构且不能储存能量。在短跑中,本发明假足内的这些伸展力比所有其它与行走和跑步相关的上述力更大。结果,足的动态响应能力与所施加的力成比例,并且与人体功能相比,有可能实现增强的截肢者运动性能。
除了在小腿胫骨件和足龙骨件之间的可调紧固结构以及用于与暂用假肢下端相连的小腿胫骨件上端结构之外,图25所示的假足53与在图3所示的类似。在该示例性实施例中,足龙骨件54通过塑料或铝制连接件56可调节地连接到小腿胫骨件55上。连接件通过相应的可松开紧固件57和58连接到足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件上,这些紧固件57和58在沿着足龙骨件纵向的方向上在连接件中相互间隔开。将连接件连接到小腿胫骨件上的紧固件58比将足龙骨件和连接件相连的紧固件57更靠后。通过以这种方式提高小腿胫骨件的有效长度,可以增加小腿胫骨件本身的动态响应能力。与其它示例性实施例中的一样,可以与在小腿胫骨件和足龙骨件中的纵向延伸开口协同操作,以便进行定位变更。
小腿胫骨件55的上端形成了用于容纳暂用假肢15的延伸开口59。一旦容纳到开口中,就可将暂用假肢可靠地夹紧到小腿胫骨件上,这可通过上紧螺栓60和61以沿着开口将小腿胫骨件的自由边62和63拉到一起来实现。通过松开螺栓、使暂用假肢相对于小腿胫骨件滑入到所需位置,并通过上紧螺栓来将暂用假肢重新夹紧到调整后的位置上,就可以容易地调整这种暂用假肢的连接。
在图28-32中显示了本发明另一实施例的假足64。该假足64包括弹性的纵向延伸的足龙骨件65,其具有后足底面承重区域66和前足底面承重区域67,以及在这些承重区域之间延伸的非承重的拱形中间部分68。为了增强高性能假足吸收和恢复垂直负载或垂直冲击力的能力,该中间部分可形成有弹簧69,其可在假足的使用期间被压缩以吸收垂直负载,以及伸展开以恢复垂直负载。弹簧69的这种弹性加载是中间部分的拱形长度的弹性加载的附加部分,后者如前述实施例中所述的通过伸展来产生。当作用于假足上的垂直方向力降低时,由中间部分的拱形长度和中间部分的压缩弹簧69所储存的能量就释放出来。
这些特征可增强假足在各种活动中在垂直力作用下保持完备功能而不损坏的能力,其中,该可施加的垂直力处于从最小垂直力(三倍体重)到最大垂直力(13倍体重)的范围内。在该实施例中,拱形中间部分的后端向下且向前卷绕而形成了弹簧69。例如可采用如图31中所示的两个螺纹紧固件70,70并借助该弹簧来将足龙骨件的后足底面承重区域或后足66连接到拱形中间部分68上。
足龙骨件65具有组合半径的系统,在形成跟趾着地接触时该系统开始通过压缩来吸收垂直力。朝上凹的弯曲后足或脚跟杠杆形成了后足底面承重区域66,当脚跟接触时该承重区域66开始压缩,例如其曲率半径会变短。中足68最初会伸展,但其立即受到阻止,这是由于弹性足龙骨件的半径对伸展比对压缩而言提供了更大的阻力。随着足移动到站立中期,垂直负载增加,中足长拱形长度伸展,同时中足后端的弹簧69被压缩以用于储存能量。随着足运动到步态的脚跟离地阶段以及垂直负载减小,足龙骨件弹簧69和拱形长度可将储存于其内的能量恢复出来,以增强足的动态响应。
可进行从简单如步行到复杂如篮球比赛的各种等级活动的戴有假足64的患者不需要牺牲假足的任何功能,并且不需要进行人工变更。后承重区域66的前部包括伸展接合孔71,其在足龙骨件的背面和足底面之间延伸穿过足龙骨件。伸展连接部分72从孔71中向后延伸到足龙骨件的后边沿,以形成多个伸展支撑,其可为步态中假足的后承重区域带来增强的双平面运动能力。后足66还可具有成形为如图5,17和18所示的后外角部。足龙骨件的前足67和中足65部分还可具有图8中斜线所示的偏离式足底承重表面。前足67还可包括如图5,23和24中所示的多个伸展支承。
假足64还包括弹性的直立小腿胫骨件73,其具有连接到足龙骨件65上以形成假足的踝关节区域74的朝下且向前凸出式弯曲的下端。小腿胫骨件向上延伸以形成踝关节区域之上的腿的下假体部分,以用于连接到使用者腿残端上的支承结构上。为此可在小腿胫骨件的上端设置转接器,其未示出。踝关节区域之上的小腿胫骨件也朝前凸出式弯曲。小腿胫骨件的上端还可具有笔直的垂直端,其带有连接到该最近末端上的棱形连板或其它转接器,这如同上面针对用于本发明假足的其它小腿胫骨件所述。
将小腿胫骨件连接到足龙骨件上的紧固装置75包括压板76,其在相对端处具有用于松开和上紧压板的可松开紧固件77,78。松开压板可允许在足龙骨件的纵向方向上调整小腿胫骨件和足龙骨件相互之间的定位,同时可在足龙骨件的纵向方向上调整小腿胫骨件连接到足龙骨件之处的倾斜度。如上所述,这样使得可改变假足的动态响应方向。如同在前面的实施例中那样,小腿胫骨件73的上部形成了腿的下假体部分。该上部还可以大致曲线的方式向上延伸,以便在步态中响应于作用在其上的地面反作用力而伸展和压缩,用于可储存和释放能量以增强步态中假足的动态响应。在足龙骨件前足和后足部分的下部,假足64可具有作为缓冲垫的橡胶或泡沫衬垫,其未示出。另外,如同在其它实施例中一样,可在假足上设置装饰罩,这是本领域的技术人员所容易的理解。
如图29所示,在足龙骨件和小腿胫骨件下端的前侧接合点处,在足龙骨件上粘合式连接了例如由塑料或橡胶形成的楔块79。该楔块用作阻挡件,以便在步态中限制向上延伸的小腿胫骨件的背屈。可选择楔块的大小,使其在包含足的纵向轴线的平面内更宽一些或更窄一些,以允许进行所需背屈量的调整。当然,可首先选定小腿胫骨件的弹性,以便使小腿胫骨件和足具有最佳动态性能。
图33和34中所示的本发明实施例是类似于图28-32所示假足的假足75,不同之处在于假足设有安装到拱形中间部分77的后端背面上的连接接头76,以用于将足的足龙骨件直接连接到附于使用者腿残端上的支承结构。在示例性实施例中,接头76为连接到连板78上的倒棱柱形连接接头的形式,其中连板78连接到中间部分77的上表面上并靠近其后端。该棱柱形接头由位于下垂的假体关节槽上的互补形关节槽式接头来容纳,以便将假足和假体关节槽相连。假足64和小腿胫骨件可由各种弹性材料制成。这些弹性材料可包括但不限于塑料、聚合物浸渍和包封的层压材料(碳纤维、玻璃纤维、以热固性环氧树脂浸渍的Kevlar),以及合金,例如弹簧钢、铝、钛或其它软金属如Flexon(软钛的商品名称)。
在此结束对示例性实施例的描述。尽管已经参照多个示例性实施例来对本发明进行了描述,但是应当理解,本技术领域的普通技术人员可以在不脱离本发明原理的精神和范围的前提下设计出许多其它的修改和实施例。更具体地说,在不脱离本发明精神的前提下,在前述公开、附图和所附权利要求范围内,可以对所述组合装置的零件和/或配置进行合理的变型和修改。除了对零件和/或配置进行变型和修改之外,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,替换性使用也是显而易见的。
