Description

Calf muscle stretching and fixation brace

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the field of leg stretching and traction equipment, in particular to a calf muscle stretching and fixing brace.

Background Art

Nowadays, there are more and more common calf, Achilles tendon, and foot diseases, including people with tight calf muscles or the need to stretch their calf muscles, who often feel calf soreness and muscle stiffness after standing or walking for a long time; patients with Achilles tendonitis have pain in the upper part of the heel, which is more obvious when running and jumping, and need to stretch their calves; and plantar fasciitis, patients have obvious pain on the inner side of the sole, which is particularly obvious when taking the first step of walking in the morning or when suddenly moving after a long period of inactivity; all of the above symptoms require stretching and traction of the calf muscles to help relieve them.

Most of the existing leg stretching and traction devices use a brace to dorsiflex the foot to achieve stretching and traction of the entire calf to relieve calf muscle soreness, but this stretching method does not focus on stretching the main calf muscle groups, so the effect is not obvious; and the gastrocnemius muscle function accounts for more than 50% of the entire posterior calf muscle function (the movement time of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle is longer than that of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle), so an effective traction method biased towards the medial head is more effective; therefore, the present application provides a stretching and fixing brace that can effectively stretch the medial calf muscles to meet the needs.

Utility Model Content
