Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a shoe for damping foot movement over the ankle joint.

Background of the invention

It is known to stabilize the movement of the ankle by means of orthopedic shoes or devices for limiting foot movements in order to prevent trauma as a result of a kinking, and thus a movement of the ankle over at least one of its ankle axes in an unphysiological area. The most common form of Umknicktraumas is an ankle distorsion as stretching or rupture due to inversion or supination. Inversion or supination movements over an ankle axis result in a change in the distance between the foot and lower leg due to the increasing inversion or supination angle. Exceeding a certain inversion or supination angle or a certain inversion or supination rate or inversion or Supinationsbeschleunigung it can lead to injuries of the ligament of the ankle or ruptures. To prevent this, devices are known which allow movements to a certain extent and prevent movement above a certain threshold angle of movement about the ankle axis completely. For this purpose, on the one hand relatively rigid orthoses are known in which the inhibition of movements using rails or mounting plates is in the foreground.

Furthermore, devices or shoes are known in which a movement of the ankle is permitted up to a certain critical angle of movement, and due to the structure of a movement from this critical angle is completely blocked. Such a device is for example from the EP 2717809 B1 known. Such devices provide no protection before reaching the critical angle. However, it is known that the risk of injury during kinking, especially in already weakened ligaments or after injury, but also significantly depends on the inversion occurring ascent and supination and inversion or supination acceleration and not solely on the inversion or supination angle. In the area below the limit (inversion or supination) angle, such devices thus provide no protection. In addition, the movement is completely blocked after reaching the critical angle. The abrupt cessation of the kinking movement places a great deal of stress on the structure of the ankle, increasing the risk of injury, such as rupture of the bone or cartilage injury. By this blocking of the ankle, the Umknickbewegung is also transmitted to the next joint. If it kinks over the ankle, this is the knee joint. Due to the large lever arm present, the unfavorable application of force and the complexity of the knee joint, it can then lead to serious injuries, such as cruciate ligament tears or meniscal damage, which are often more negative than ankle ligaments because of their limitation of the person, the complexity and the limited healing possibilities.

Furthermore, devices are known which always allow a minimum amount of movement when tightened, but block dangerous movements. From the DE 10 2014 107 335 A1 a device for adaptively limiting inversion or supination movement via the ankle is shown. The ankle brace shown therein, in order to prevent the upper portion of the orthosis from shifting towards the foot upon impact, requires a pressure-stable bar located on the medial aspect of the ankle to support the upper portion of the orthosis extends the upper portion of the orthosis and the lower portion of the orthosis and must be firmly connected to both areas. The beam must be designed such that it returns the tensile forces introduced via the extension device on the lateral side into the upper region as compressive forces on the medial side back into the lower region, without deforming and buckling. As a result, although a position assurance is achieved in the distal direction. However, the bar on the medial side of the foot continues to restrict the freedom of movement of the ankle. Furthermore, it is known to provide a fixation for fixing the upper part to a lower leg instead of the aforementioned support between the upper and lower part on the upper part. By fixing the upper part is supported in this case from above on the ankle. Due to the support and the fixation, these devices have a high weight and a relatively rigid structure and low wearing comfort.

Presentation of the invention

Starting from the known state of the art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved device for damping foot movement via the ankle joint.

The object is achieved by a shoe for damping a foot movement on the ankle with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.

Accordingly, a shoe for damping a foot movement over the ankle is proposed, comprising a shoe sole, a shoe upper tethered to the shoe sole, and a damping element for damping a relative movement. A tension-resistant band extends from a first end from a lateral side of the shoe over a shoe heel area and over a medial side of the shoe back to the lateral side to a second end and is movable between the first and second ends on the shoe upper in the direction of its longitudinal extent arranged, wherein the tension-resistant band is attached to the first end of the damping element and is attached to the second end of the shoe upper.

The term "lateral side" in this case comprises an outer side of the shoe. Here, the lateral side of the shoe corresponds to a lateral side of a human foot or a lower human limb when it carries the shoe. The "lateral side" is in the worn state of the shoe laterally or away from the body center of the wearer. In other words, the term "lateral side" includes a lateral side of the human body in terms of (topographical) anatomy.

Accordingly, the term "medial side" in this case includes an inside of the shoe. The medial side of the shoe corresponds to a medial side of a human foot or a lower human extremity, when wearing the shoe. The "medial side" is oriented in the worn state of the shoe towards the middle of the body or in the middle. In other words, the term "medial side" includes a medial side of the human body in terms of (topographical) anatomy.

The "shoe heel area" comprises an area of the shoe in which a heel of a foot is received in the worn state. Thus, the heel of the shoe corresponds to a back or dorsal side of the shoe in the sense of the (topographical) anatomy of the human body. As a result, the heel of the shoe faces a ventral side.

By "tensile stiffness" is meant here any material with which tensile forces can be transmitted. Tensile materials in the sense of the application may have a certain initial elongation capacity and preferably stiffen from a certain elongation limit or yield point such that the extensibility is then greatly reduced in comparison to the initial elongation capacity or stretchability. In the present case, a tension braid made of threads of a tension-resistant material can be used as a tension-resistant band, with the threads of the textile braid initially being subjected to an increasing orientation in the longitudinal extent of the textile braid during a tensile load on the textile braid so that initially a high initial stretchability is provided by the orientation of the threads is, and after the alignment of the threads substantially in the direction of force flow, the band has a tensile structure.

The term "ankle joint" in this case comprises the upper and lower ankle joint and, correspondingly, the axis of movement of the upper ankle, which essentially permits the plantarflexion and dorsiflexion of the foot, and the axis of movement of the lower ankle, which essentially comprises inversion and eversion, as well as supination, Adduction and plantarflexion, abduction and dorsiflexion.

The term "ankle" is also understood here as the expression of the acetabulum, the malleolar fork of the upper ankle joint. Thus, the term "ankle" in this case includes the outer malleolus, which is formed by the expression of the malleolus lateralis, and the medial malleolus, which is formed by the expression of the malleolus medialis. Due to the formation of the malleolar fork as a socket, the ankle has a larger cross-sectional area relative to the proximal-distal direction, as compared to the above, and thus proximally adjoining, portion of the lower leg. Thus, the circumference of the ankle is greater compared to the proximal adjacent section.

As a "shoe" here any form of shoe-like footwear with a shell or shaft and an associated solid pad or sole understood, especially orthopedic shoes, sports shoes, casual shoes and boots or sandals. The shoe upper and / or the sole may be formed over the entire surface, or only have segments, which are necessary for restraint and power transmission in case of inversion or supination of the foot. The shoe may also have as a basic structure a sock or a stump of a textile fabric or Textilgewirk on which or which at least at partial areas segments on the shoe upper and / or on the sole are arranged, by means of which required for the retention of the foot in an inversion or supination Forces can be absorbed and forwarded.

Characterized in that the tension-resistant band from the first end of the lateral side of the shoe on the shoe heel area and on the medial side of the shoe again on the lateral side to the second end and between the first and the second end on the shoe upper in the direction of his Longitudinal extension is arranged to be movable, wherein the tension-resistant band is attached to the first end of the damping element and is attached to the second end of the shoe upper, an inversion or Supinationsbewegung be attenuated via the ankle, wherein the movement at each position of the shoe supporting foot can be damped.

Due to the course of the tension-resistant band from the lateral side over the heel of the shoe, the medial side of the shoe back to the lateral side, a loop is essentially formed, which on the lateral side in the ends of the tension-resistant band introduced tensile forces in the sense of a loop connection according to a Forming line load or surface load, wherein the tension-resistant band is supported in the shoe heel area and / or on the medial side and / or partially also on the lateral side. In the worn state of the shoe, the line load or area load is introduced into the body correspondingly on the medial side and / or in the heel area of the foot or lower leg of the person wearing the shoe. In other words, the circumferential tension-resistant band is supported on an inversion or supination on the medial side and / or in the heel area of the foot or lower leg. The forces are transmitted substantially over the entire circumferential length on the medial side, the heel area and also partly on the lateral side over the shoe upper to the lower extremity of the person wearing the shoe.

The tensile forces acting on the tension-resistant band in an inversion or supination are distributed over the first end and the second end. Consequently, on the lateral side, part of the resulting tensile forces are transferred directly to the shoe upper via the second end and are absorbed by the latter. Accordingly, the damping element connected to the first end likewise only has to absorb or attenuate or compensate for part of the resulting forces. The damping element can be made correspondingly smaller than in known from the prior art arrangements in which the damping element has to absorb all the forces resulting from an inversion or supination.

In an inversion or supination movement, ie a buckling, the length which forms the tension-resistant band between a shoe center longitudinal plane and the first end and between the shoe center longitudinal plane and the second end respectively by an inversion or Supinationswinkels to the Inversionsbeziehungsweise Supinationsachse radians. Since the tension-resistant band is fixedly attached to the shoe upper at the second end, the compensation of the above-described change in length of the tension-resistant band in the region of the second end by a displacement of the tension-resistant band in its longitudinal extent on the medial side and the heel area relative to the shoe upper in the direction the second end. In other words, the tension-resistant band slips over the shoe upper through the inversion or supination relative to the shoe upper on the medial side and the heel of the shoe. Therefore, a relative to the shoe movable part of the damping element, which is attached to the first end, experiences not only a relative movement relative to the firmly connected to the shoe part at the level of the inversion or supination angle at the first end resulting radians, but in height Combination of the length of the radians resulting from the inversion or supination angles at the first end plus the displacement of the tension-resistant band at the second end. With a suitable arrangement or orientation of the tension-resistant band on the lateral side in the region of the first end and the second end, a radix change in length compared to that resulting from the inversion-type supination angle can thus preferably be a double extension path or a doubled length of the relative movement of the movable part firmly attached to the shoe part. Accordingly, even small inversion or supination movements can be damped, since a correspondingly increased relative movement arises on the damping element.

The tension-resistant band is preferably designed to be flexible transversely to its longitudinal extent. As a result, it is possible that the tape circumferentially adapts itself to the shapes and contours of the shoe.

If, according to a further preferred embodiment, a preferably flexible tubular element is arranged on the shoe upper, in which the tension-resistant band is slidably guided at least in sections along its longitudinal extension, the tension-resistant band can be positioned particularly positionally stable with respect to its position on the shoe transversely to its longitudinal extent. Thus, it can be specified precisely at which points or areas of the shoe the forces introduced by the inversion or supination into the ends of the tension-resistant band are transmitted to the shoe upper and to the foot or lower leg. In other words, the position and course of the band on the shoe upper can be specified exactly.

The tension-resistant band preferably has low friction in the tubular element. For this purpose, the tube element preferably has a material which has a low coefficient of friction, preferably POM or PTFE. By means of a targeted combination of materials, the tension-resistant strip can thus be guided in the tube element virtually without friction.

According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one preferably flexible positioning element for positioning the tension-resistant band on the upper side of the shoe is provided on the upper side of the shoe so that the tension-resistant band can be arranged in a predetermined position along the upper of the shoe. In other words, the course of the band on the shoe upper can thus be specified particularly precisely. By the exact specification of the course of the band can be specified exactly where on the upper part of the shoe, the force is applied to the circulating tension-resistant band in the shoe and further on the foot or lower leg. Furthermore, the retaining force necessary for damping the inversion or supination movement can be uniformly distributed by the positioning element, so that local pressure points can be avoided.

In order to achieve a particularly accurate positioning of the course of the tension-resistant band on the shoe upper and also to allow movement or displacement of the tension-resistant band with low friction, a plurality of positioning elements and a plurality of tubular elements are provided according to a further preferred embodiment, wherein the positioning elements and the tubular elements are preferably arranged alternately along the tension-resistant band and / or at least one tubular element is integrally formed with a positioning element or fastened to a positioning element.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the damping element is arranged on the lateral side, wherein the damping element is preferably at least partially integrated into the shoe upper. Thereby, a particularly effective damping of an inversion or supination movement can be achieved. In addition, the damping element can be arranged in a simple manner on the shoe or integrated into the shoe, without significantly affecting the wearing comfort.

According to a particularly preferred further embodiment, the damping element is arranged in the shoe sole, wherein the tension-resistant band is preferably guided slidingly by means of a deflection in the shoe sole. As a result, the shoe can be constructed substantially unchanged in its optical appearance compared to a shoe without damping arrangement. In addition, the damping element may be constructed larger in size than in an arrangement on the lateral side, without affecting the external appearance or comfort due to pressure points. In particular, when the shoe has a plastic sole and / or rubber sole, the damping element can be produced by simply embedding the damping element in the plastic or by encapsulation of the damping element in the shoe sole with little manufacturing effort.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the shoe upper part has a flexible molded part for positioning the tension-resistant band, which can preferably be integrated into a shaft of the shoe upper part. The molded part preferably has, in the longitudinal extent of the tension-resistant strip, a plurality of preferably alternately arranged positioning elements and tubular elements into which the tension-resistant strip is guided in a sliding manner. The positioning elements are preferably used primarily for force-transmitting positioning of the tension-resistant band on the shoe upper side. The tubular elements preferably ensure that the tension-resistant band can slide with a movement in its longitudinal extent relative to the shoe with very little friction. By means of the molded part, the retention force required to dampen the inversion-type supination movement can be uniformly distributed, so that local pressure points can be avoided. In addition, a simple production of the shoe is achieved because the molding is pre-assembled and can then be used as a finished molding during assembly of the shoe in a simple manner in this.

To a particularly advantageous course of the tension-resistant band and thus a particularly effective initiation of an inversion According to a further preferred embodiment, the tension-resistant band is arranged at least partially above a receiving region for receiving the medial ankle.

If, in accordance with a further preferred embodiment, the tension-resistant band is arranged at least partially above a receiving area for receiving the lateral ankle, the retention effect of the circumferential tension-resistant band can be further improved.

If the attachment of the second end of the tension-resistant band according to a further preferred embodiment of the shoe upper adjustable, the shoe for a variety of different foot, ankle and lower leg shapes can be individually adapted, so for each wearer the best possible protection against injury can be achieved due to an inversion or supination movement.

Preferably, a length of the tension-resistant band between the first end and the attachment to the shoe upper is variable, wherein the tension-resistant band preferably at least one hook, an eyelet and / or a loop and / or on the shoe upper at least one eyelet, a hook, a Adhesive area and / or a clamping unit is provided for clamping the tension-resistant band.

According to a further preferred embodiment, an adjustment unit for adjusting the length of the tension-resistant band is arranged on the tension-resistant band, wherein the tension-resistant band in the adjustment unit preferably forms a variable loop. Thus, the length of the tension-resistant band and consequently the damping and protective effect can be adjusted in a particularly simple manner substantially continuously individually.

In order to achieve a particularly effective and reliable damping effect, the damping element has a rigidly connected to the shoe fixed element and a relative to the fixed element movable, connected to the tension-resistant band relative movement element.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the damping element and / or the tension-resistant band are at least partially integrated into the shoe, wherein preferably the damping element and / or the tension-resistant band extend at least partially under an outer surface or cover layer of the shoe. As a result, on the one hand, a particularly dimensionally stable positioning of the damping element and / or the tension-resistant band can be achieved, on the other hand, the external appearance is only insignificantly changed by mechanically appearing components.

In a further preferred embodiment, the shoe has a high shaft, wherein the tension-resistant band extends at least partially in the region of the high shaft, wherein the tension-resistant band is preferably at least partially integrated into the high shaft. As a result, a particularly advantageous and positionally stable arrangement of the tension-resistant strip can be achieved.

In a preferred development, the high shaft can be designed in the form of a sock shaft. This ensures a high wearing comfort, also an accurate positioning of the course of the tension-resistant band can be achieved.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a further band of a tension-resistant material is arranged on a side opposite the first end side of the damping element, wherein the further band relative to the damping element has a further end, with which the further band fixed to the shoe, preferably with the shoe upper , connected is. As a result, the damping element can be integrated into the tension-resistant band or an entire band can be formed from the tension-resistant band, the damping element and the further band, wherein the entire band is movably disposed along the longitudinal extent of the shoe and at the second end and the other End attached to the shoe.

Preferably, the damping element is a fibrous damping element.

A particularly effective damping or retention of the movement over the ankle joint can be achieved if the tension-resistant band and / or the damping element are oriented on the lateral side such that the tension-resistant band and / or the damping element at least partially with a plane defined by the shoe sole an angle of 0 ° to 90 °, preferably from 30 ° to 70 °, more preferably from 50 ° to 60 ° and most preferably 57 ° include.

A particularly effective damping or restraint of the movement over the ankle can also be achieved if the tension-resistant band is oriented in the region of the second end on the lateral side such that the tension-resistant band in a plan view of a plane defined by the shoe sole with a longitudinal axis or mid-longitudinal plane of the shoe at least partially encloses an angle of 0 ° to 90 °, preferably from 20 ° to 70 °, particularly preferably from 30 ° to 60 °.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the tension-resistant band is arranged such that in a plan view of a plane defined by the shoe sole at a linear extension of the tension-resistant band at the first end and a linear extension of the tension-resistant band at the second end, the linear extension of the first end and the linear extension of the second end intersects at a point of the outer edge of the shoe sole, preferably at a maximum distance from the longitudinal axis or mid-longitudinal plane of the shoe.
