Orthopedic therapeutic shoe.

The invention relates to orthopedic-therapeutic corrective shoes with removable stiffening of the shaft.

In addition to orthopedic shoes, there are therapeutic shoes for correcting and treating congenital or the consequences of diseases occurring larger or smaller deformities of the feet and lower extremities. It is especially about the correction of significant lateral deformations, weak ligaments, recurring dislocations, unilateral or bilateral paralysis etc.

The known prostheses require compensating in the interior of the shoe or to use soles that correct the sole of the foot, the thickness of which can go from 4 mm to 20 mm at the heel. However, are The currently available shoes are often not intended for the use of such thick compensation soles, so that special shoes are used for this must be made.

The invention is intended to remedy this disadvantage and a series

409807/0833

manufacturable shoe verden created the substantial compensations enables.

Another disadvantage of the available shoes of this type is that that they ve most common shoes with a curved one Inner edge are shaped, which affects the correction devices. Finally, the onset of orthopedic-therapeutic Insoles and putting on the shoes on the FuQ are hampered by an opening that is too narrow.

The invention is intended to remedy the last two disadvantages mentioned. Finally, the main disadvantage of the known shoes of this type lies in the arrangement of the stiffener inside the upper. The stiffening is therefore accessible through a horizontal slot provided on the inside of the upper part of the shaft, through which stiffening rods can be inserted into guides or supports. This training requires seams inside the sheep lining, which can injure the foot. In addition to these seams, there are also those seams that are necessary - if the shaft is made of several parts. These disadvantages are also eliminated by the invention.

The orthopedic therapeutic shoes according to the invention are identified through the following features:

a) a shaft made from a single piece, which is attached to his The upper part has a horizontal slit that extends almost all the way around the shoe, through which supports are accessible, Velche removable stiffening rods lead to precisely defined places, this training the absence of seams on the Inside of the shaft and an effective padding of the shaft that extends far to the tip of the shoe;

Started-

b) An opening of the shoe that is largely exposed from above;

c) A sheet high enough to allow a removable one inside the shoe To be able to use a corrective sole of sufficient thickness (more than 1 cm);

d) A sole and / upper partj (last shape) that has a straight line Have inner edge of the shoe.

The invention is illustrated by the following description of a Embodiment which is shown in the accompanying drawings. Show it:

Pig, Fig. 1 is a view of the shoe with a support rod slightly pulled out;

Pig. Figure 2 is a view of the shoe ready for use;

Figure 3 shows an elevation of the stiffening sleeve receiving the support rods;

Fig. 4 shows a schematic vertical section of the shaft with support rod inserted into the stiffening sleeve;

Pig. 5 is a section similar to FIG. 4 showing the insertion of the support rod into the stiffening sleeve;

6 shows an elevation of a mounting sole used for compensation.

The following description refers to a shoe with a high shaft, but shoes with a low shaft can also be used produce the same principle.

The shoe consists of a sole 1, an upper 2 and a

Front leaf

knocked over the last (upper part) 3. As usual, the upper leather or blade extended by a tongue, not shown, and the shaft can be closed by a series of eyes 4.

The main feature of the invention is that the shaft, which is formed in a single piece, without a vertical rear seam

409807/0833

is, on its upper part has a horizontal slot 5 on the outside » that almost reaches around the shoe. The slot 5 allows access to the space between the shaft 2 and the putter 6, in the stiffening sleeves 7 are arranged. These consist of two layers of leather held together with 8 seams, between which the optionally twisted support rods 9 can be inserted. The stiffening sleeves 7 are to remain between attached to the shaft 2 and the chuck 6. They have a shape with two legs (Fig. 3), between which the ankles find space. Of course, the stiffening sleeves 7 can have any desired shape, corresponding to that to be exerted on the foot Correction, taking into account the shape of the stiffening sleeves the selected length, curvature and elasticity of the support rods is determined.

As can be seen, this design enables padding and a completely smooth and clean surface on the inside of the lining 6, which excludes any injury to the foot.

According to a further feature of the invention, the shoe opening is largely exposed at the top and at the front. This feature is already known in the case of certain shoes, but particularly advantageous in the case of the shoe according to the invention.

The last and thus the front sheet 3 are sufficiently high to enable the insertion of a removable insole, e.g. 4 mm in its front part and in the area of the heel Can be 20 mm thick.

Finally, according to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the sole 1 and the last or what is folded over it Front blade inside the shoe perfectly straight,

409807/0833

which enables effective correction of foot defects.

The slot 5 on the upper part of the shaft 2 is closed by a zipper 11, which in turn is covered by lips 12, 13. Since the upper part of the shaft is usually slightly printed outwards in use, the lips 12 and 12 are always pressed towards each other and cover the slot 5 practically completely. This slot is not at all disturbing even when the shoe is used in bad weather, since it is sufficiently high on the shoe that rain and splash water cannot penetrate. In contrast, the slot enables easy access to the stiffening sleeves 7 and a simple exchange of the support rods 9, as FIGS. 1, 3 and 5 show.

The sole 1 can consist of a basic sole made of leather and cork, which is suitable for installation and removable. It is possible to provide steel hinge pieces that are supported by a sheet of elastic Steel are reinforced in order to ensure a permanent tension of the shoe and restoration of the same in the flat position. It is a welted version or a double-stitched version with a midsole, a frame sewn on the outside and Sole and possibly glued-on (rubber) sole provided.
