Abstract

A mold is provided for forming orthopedic soles and plantar moldings adapted to the feet of patients, characterized in that it is formed of a tray (1) with an essentially vertical wall (6), whose bottom (7) reproduces the shape and the instep of a shoe, means (2) for fixing relief correcting elements (4, 5) to this bottom for conferring thereon a surface adapted to the plantar arch of the patient, and a flexible and resilient cushion (3) extending over this bottom. This mold is used for forming orthopedic soles and plantar moldings by using a thermoformable sheet (9) placed in the tray and on which the foot of the patient bears.

Description

L'invention concerne un moule pour la réalisation d'orthèses et de moulages plantaires adaptés aux pieds des patients, constitué d'un bac dont le fond, délimité par une paroi essentiellement verticale, reproduit la forme et la cambrure d'une chaussure.The invention relates to a mold for producing orthotics and plantar molds adapted to the feet of patients, consisting of a tray whose bottom, delimited by an essentially vertical wall, reproduces the shape and the arch of a shoe.

On connaît, d'après le brevet français FR-A-850 299, un moule de ce type dont on remplit le fond d'une couche épaisse de cire dans laquelle l'empreinte du pied du patient est prise. A l'aide de cette empreinte, on moule ensuite un plâtre positif sur lequel la semelle ou l'orthèse définitive est réalisée avec des retouches qui sont nécessaires pour conférer à cette dernière le relief exigé pour la correction des défectuosités plantaires du pied du patient.We know, from French patent FR-A-850,299, a mold of this type, the bottom of which is filled with a thick layer of wax in which the imprint of the patient's foot is taken. Using this impression, a positive plaster is then molded onto which the sole or the final orthosis is produced with touch-ups which are necessary to give the latter the relief required for the correction of plantar defects of the patient's foot.

On sait aussi pratiquer actuellement des moulages au plâtre (brevet US-A-2 973 529) ainsi que des techniques de moulage selon lesquelles le pied du patient est placé sur un coussin en mousse alvéolaire avec interposition soit d'une feuille en matériau thermoformable, soit d'une toile enduite de cire, qui permet ensuite la confection d'un plâtre positif, grâce auquel la semelle définitive est produite comme décrit ci-dessus.We also know currently practice plaster molding (US-A-2,973,529) as well as molding techniques according to which the patient's foot is placed on a foam cushion with the interposition of either a sheet of thermoformable material, or a canvas coated with wax, which then allows the confection of a positive plaster, thanks to which the final sole is produced as described above.

Outre le fait qu'elles sont la plupart du temps salissantes, ces techniques de moulage connues sont longues et ne permettent pas dans tous les cas d'obtenir directement les semelles ou orthè- ses finies.In addition to the fact that they are mostly dirty, these known molding techniques are long and in all cases do not allow the finished soles or orthotics to be obtained directly.

De plus, les moulages obtenus par ces techniques sont bien souvent défectueux, car la position et la forme du pied du patient dans le moule, même dans le cas de celui qui est mentionné en préambule, sont déterminées avec une précision bien souvent insuffisante, puisqu'elles dépendent dans une large mesure de l'aplomb et du jeu musculaire que le patient lui-même exerce sur son pied, volontairement ou non, au moment de . l'opération.In addition, the moldings obtained by these techniques are very often defective, because the position and the shape of the patient's foot in the mold, even in the case of the one mentioned in the preamble, are determined with very often insufficient precision, since 'They depend to a large extent on the balance and muscle play that the patient himself exercises on his foot, voluntarily or not, at the time of . the operation.

Or une semelle orthopédique, ou orthèse plantaire, doit, pour être efficace, s'adapter le plus précisément et le plus fidèlement possible à la position réelle du pied du patient, une fois corrigé et chaussé.However, an orthopedic sole, or plantar orthosis, must, to be effective, adapt as precisely and as faithfully as possible to the actual position of the patient's foot, once corrected and fitted.

L'invention permet d'atteindre cet objectif de façon simple, rationnelle, efficace et peu onéreuse grâce à un moule, du type spécifié en préambule qui se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend des moyens permettant de fixer, sur son fond, des éléments correcteurs en relief destinés à lui conférer une surface s'adaptant à la voûte plantaire du patient, lesdits moyens étant constitués par une semelle première collée sur le fond du bac et recouverte d'une couche de matériau assurant l'auto-accrochage en coopération avec une couche similaire fixée sous chacun des éléments correcteurs, et un coussin souple et élastique s'étendant sur ce fond, et en ce que la paroi est d'une hauteur telle qu'elle assure le positionnement du coussin et délimite un volume suffisant pour la réception avec un certain jeu du pied du patient.The invention makes it possible to achieve this objective in a simple, rational, efficient and inexpensive manner thanks to a mold, of the type specified in the preamble which is characterized in that it comprises means making it possible to fix, on its bottom, elements relief correctors intended to give it a surface adapting to the arch of the patient, said means being constituted by a first sole glued to the bottom of the tank and covered with a layer of material ensuring self-latching in cooperation with a similar layer fixed under each of the correcting elements, and a flexible and elastic cushion extending over this bottom, and in that the wall is of a height such that it ensures the positioning of the cushion and defines a sufficient volume for the reception with a certain play of the patient's foot.

On conçoit dès lors que le spécialiste, qui dispose d'un jeu de moules conforme à l'invention adaptés à la taille et à la cambrure des chaussures des patients, peut pratiquer un moulage direct d'une semelle orthopédique en utilisant une feuille en matériau thermoformable qu'il place dans le moule, sur le coussin souple recouvrant les éléments correcteurs, le pied du patient se trouvant alors, si l'aplomb est soigneusement surveillé, dans la position exacte correspondant très précisément à l'utilisation ultérieure de la semelle obtenue. En effet, dans le moule conforme à l'invention, les éléments correcteurs, d'une part donnent à la feuille thermoformable le relief définitif précis de la semelle orthopédique en supprimant donc les opérations longues et fastidieuses de retouches sur une semelle confectionnée sur un plâtre positif et, d'autre part, assurent un meilleur appui des défectuosités plantaires du pied du patient.It is therefore understandable that the specialist, who has a set of molds according to the invention adapted to the size and arch of the shoes of the patients, can practice direct molding of an orthopedic sole using a sheet of material thermoformable that it places in the mold, on the flexible cushion covering the corrective elements, the patient's foot then being, if the balance is carefully monitored, in the exact position corresponding very precisely to the subsequent use of the sole obtained . In fact, in the mold according to the invention, the corrective elements, on the one hand, give the thermoformable sheet the precise final relief of the orthopedic sole, thus eliminating the long and tedious operations of retouching on a sole made on a plaster. positive and, on the other hand, provide better support for plantar defects of the patient's foot.

A cela, il faut ajouter qu'en remplaçant la feuille thermoformable par une toile enduite de cire, on peut malgré tout si on le désire, réaliser un plâtre positif.To this, it should be added that by replacing the thermoformable sheet with a canvas coated with wax, it is still possible if desired, to make a positive plaster.

De plus, le caractère auto-accrochant des moyens pour fixer les éléments correcteurs dans le fond du bac, permet de choisir et de placer très simplement et très rapidement les éléments correcteurs nécessaires dans chaque cas particulier et donc d'utiliser le même moule pour tous les patients de même pointure qui souhaitent la même hauteur de talon sans avoir à procéder à des adaptations longues et délicates du moule.In addition, the self-hooking nature of the means for fixing the corrective elements in the bottom of the tank, makes it possible to choose and place very simply and very quickly the corrective elements necessary in each particular case and therefore to use the same mold for all patients of the same size who want the same heel height without having to make long and delicate adaptations of the mold.

En outre, grâce à son dimensionnement particulier en hauteur, la paroi du bac assure une bonne tenue et un bon maintien du pied et de la feuille en matériau thermoplastique ou de la toile enduite de cire sans gêner les manipulations du spécialiste qui pratique le moulage.In addition, thanks to its particular dimensioning in height, the wall of the tank ensures good hold and good support of the foot and of the sheet of thermoplastic material or of the canvas coated with wax without interfering with the manipulations of the specialist who practices molding.

Selon un perfectionnement entrant dans le cadre de l'invention, le coussin souple est plus épais sur la zone arrière du bac correspondant environ au talon et à la cambrure et plus mince sur la zone avant.According to an improvement coming within the framework of the invention, the flexible cushion is thicker on the rear zone of the tray corresponding approximately to the heel and the camber and thinner on the front zone.

Les essais pratiqués ont montré que cette disposition permet de corriger la diminution d'épaisseur du coussin plus grande à l'arrière qu'à l'avant lorsque l'aplomb est convenablement réalisé.The tests carried out have shown that this arrangement makes it possible to correct the reduction in thickness of the cushion which is greater at the rear than at the front when the balance is properly achieved.

Un mode de réalisation de l'invention sera maintenant décrit à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • La figure 1 représente en perspective les divers éléments constitutifs du moule conforme à l'invention ;
  • La figure 2 représente le moule en cours d'utilisation ;
  • La figure 3 est une coupe longitudinale à échelle agrandie pratiquée au moment du moulage ; et
  • La figure 4 représente un exemple de semelle réalisée grâce à l'invention.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 shows in perspective the various components of the mold according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows the mold in use;
  • Figure 3 is a longitudinal section on an enlarged scale made at the time of molding; and
  • Figure 4 shows an example sole made thanks to the invention.

On voit en figure 1 que le moule conforme à l'invention se compose d'un bac 1 au fond duquel est collée une semelle première 2, d'un coussin 3 et d'un certain nombre d'éléments correcteurs tels que 4 et 5.We see in Figure 1 that the mold according to the invention consists of a tray 1 at the bottom of which is glued a first sole 2, a cushion 3 and a number of corrective elements such as 4 and 5 .

Le bac 1, réalisé avantageusement en un matériau plastique, comprend une paroi latérale essentiellement verticale 6 et un fond 7. reproduisant la forme et la cambrure d'une chaussure et qui, pour ce faire, repose sur un talon 8. Il est à noter qu'un tel bac fait partie d'un ensemble correspondant aux diverses tailles de chaussures pour hommes, femmes et enfants, et aux diverses cambrures résultant des hauteurs de talons les plus utilisées, par exemple 3, 5, 7 centimètres et plus si nécessaire.The tank 1, advantageously made of a plastic material, comprises an essentially vertical side wall 6 and a bottom 7. reproducing the shape and the arch of a shoe and which, to do this, rests on a heel 8. It should be noted that such a bin is part of a set corresponding to the various sizes of shoes for men, women and children, and to the various camber resulting from the heel heights most used, for example 3, 5, 7 centimeters and more if necessary.

La semelle première 2 qui tapisse le fond du bac est de préférence collée. Elle est pourvue d'une couche de matériau assurant l'auto-accrochage, tel que celui connu sous le nom commercial de « Velcro •, qui coopère avec une couche correspondante collée sous les divers éléments correcteurs tels que 4 ou 5.The first sole 2 which lines the bottom of the tank is preferably glued. It is provided with a layer of material ensuring self-attachment, such as that known under the trade name of "Velcro •, which cooperates with a corresponding layer bonded under the various corrective elements such as 4 or 5.

Les éléments correcteurs représentés à titre d'exemples sont destinés à tenir compte, l'un 4, d'un affaissement de la voûte antérieure d'un patient, l'autre 5, d'un pied creux d'un autre patient. Ils font partie à leur tour d'un ensemble dont doit disposer l'orthopédiste pour satisfaire aux caractéristiques les plus classiques des pieds à traiter, étant entendu qu'il peut, si nécessaire, réaliser d'autres éléments à la demande.The corrective elements shown by way of example are intended to take account, one 4, of a sagging of the anterior arch of a patient, the other 5, of a hollow foot of another patient. They are in turn part of a set which the orthopedist must have in order to satisfy the most conventional characteristics of the feet to be treated, it being understood that he can, if necessary, produce other elements on request.

Enfin, le coussin 3 peut être réalisé en mousse alvéolaire. Il est plus épais sur environ les 2/3 arrière pour tenir compte du poids du corps du patient.Finally, the cushion 3 can be made of cellular foam. It is thicker on the rear 2/3 to take account of the patient's body weight.

Un tel matériel s'utilise de la façon suivante : l'orthopédiste qui entend réaliser un moulage choisit d'abord le moule adapté à la pointure, la cambrure et la hauteur de talon des chaussures que désire porter le patient. Grâce à des essais successifs, il dispose ensuite éventuellement les éléments correcteurs qui compensent au mieux certaines particularités de l'anatomie de la voûte plantaire du patient.Such material is used in the following way: the orthopedist who intends to perform a molding first chooses the mold adapted to the size, the camber and the heel height of the shoes that the patient wishes to wear. Thanks to successive tests, it then possibly has the corrective elements that best compensate for certain peculiarities of the anatomy of the patient's arch.

Pour pratiquer le moulage proprement dit, il place dans le moule le coussin 3 et une feuille thermoformable à moins de cent degrés du commerce, telle que représentée en 9 sur la figure 2, convenablement découpée et chauffée, et enfin il fait poser par le patient son pied en charge dans le bac en veillant bien que la position se rapproche, dans la mesure du possible, des axes anatomiques normaux. C'est la position de la figure 2. Par le poids du corps et la souplesse du coussin 3, le matériau thermoformable se moule alors, comme on le voit mieux dans la vue en coupe de la figure 3, à la forme exacte du pied et de la chaussure qu'utilisera le patient.To practice the actual molding, he places in the mold the cushion 3 and a thermoformable sheet at less than a hundred degrees from trade, as shown at 9 in FIG. 2, suitably cut and heated, and finally he places the patient his foot loaded in the bin, making sure that the position is as close as possible to normal anatomical axes. It is the position of figure 2. By the weight of the body and the flexibility of the cushion 3, the thermoformable material is molded then, as one sees better in the sectional view of figure 3, with the exact shape of the foot and the shoe the patient will use.

Il reste à retirer la feuille thermoformée et à la découper pour obtenir une semelle orthopédique ou orthèse plantaire telle que représentée en 10 à la figure 4, qui est d'une grande précision, et aussi peu épaisse que possible.It remains to remove the thermoformed sheet and cut it to obtain an orthopedic sole or plantar orthosis as shown in 10 in Figure 4, which is very precise, and as thin as possible.

Il va de soi que, si l'on désire un moulage positif en plâtre, le même matériel peut être utilisé pour réaliser un négatif, en utilisant par exemple une toile enduite de cire au lieu du matériau thermoformable.It goes without saying that, if a positive plaster molding is desired, the same material can be used to make a negative, for example using a canvas coated with wax instead of the thermoformable material.

Par ailleurs, le procédé décrit s'applique non seulement à la réalisation d'orthèses pour des personnes souffrant des pieds, mais également à la confection de cambrures anatomiques amovibles sur mesure pour des personnes qui, sans souffrir ne sont pas à l'aise dans leurs chaussures dont les cambrures ne correspondent pas toujours à la forme de leurs pieds.Furthermore, the method described applies not only to the production of orthoses for people suffering from the feet, but also to the making of removable anatomical archings made to measure for people who, without suffering are not at ease in their shoes whose camber does not always correspond to the shape of their feet.

Quelle que soit l'utilisation recherchée, on aura noté que l'on obtient en quelques instants, grâce à l'invention, un élément de faible épaisseur, reproduisant aussi exactement que possible la cambrure anatomique de la voûte plantaire traitée.Whatever the use sought, it will have been noted that, in a few moments, thanks to the invention, an element of thin thickness is obtained, reproducing as exactly as possible the anatomical camber of the treated arch.
