Definitions

  • the invention is based on the problem that, in particular due to the strong sporting activities of large sections of the population, many athletes have discomfort when walking or running, which in most cases has not yet reached a level of damage that makes orthopedic treatment seem appropriate. It turned out that many of these complaints are not due to orthopedic reasons, but to athletic overloading of the patient. A typical example of such complaints are Inflammation of the Achilles tendons, which have not been satisfactorily curable with the agents known from the prior art.
  • US Pat. No. 1,662,814 describes an orthopedic shoe in which a step plate is arranged in the foot contact area.
  • the position of this tread plate can be adjusted by means of three screws, two juxtaposed screws in the front part and one screw in the rear part of the tread plate.
  • the screws are operated from the inside of the shoe.
  • This embodiment proves to be disadvantageous, since the person must take off the shoe again before changing the adjustment process. This does not allow orthopedic adjustment in the put-on state of the shoe, in which the correct position of the step plate and thus the correct alignment of the foot could be checked during the adjustment process.
  • the alignment points of the screws prove to be disadvantageous, because in the rear heel area, i.e. in an area of extreme stress, only one screw is provided.
  • the US-PS 2,352,170 shows an orthopedic shoe, the sole of which is adjustable by means of a large number of adjusting screws.
  • the shoe must be removed before the adjustment is made, so that the adjustment process is very cumbersome and prone to errors.
  • the large number of adjusting screws results in an arbitrary adjustability of the spatial shape of the sole, but this is not practically applicable, since even the slightest adjustments of individual screws affect the overall shape of the sole. For this reason, this shoe is less suitable than a shoe which is provided with a non-adjustable orthopedic sole which is manufactured directly after the subject's foot.
  • a similar embodiment is also shown in US Pat. No. 2,288,665.
  • an ankle support sole which provides one or more support elements pivotable laterally about a predetermined axis in the central region of the foot. This construction can only be used for a few special areas and does not meet the requirements for an orthopedic shoe.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an orthopedic shoe of the type mentioned, which allows easy orthopedic adjustment with a simple structure and ease of use, while the subject wears the shoe and which allows a reduction or healing of the discomfort when walking or running.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea that the complaints that occur, for example, in Achilles tendon inflammation are caused by the fact that the patient loads his foot incorrectly or, particularly in the case of some special types of movement, in an unfavorable manner on one usual shoe supports. It can happen that the patient loads his foot correctly during normal walking, or at least an incorrect load does not occur to such an extent that an orthopedist could immediately determine this during an examination. In the event of greater physical exertion, for example with a high running load or with frequently changing loads when playing ball or the like, it is possible that the incorrect loading of the foot reaches a level which results in considerable complaints, be it because of incorrect loading of the tendons, especially the Achilles tendon, and improper strain on the joints inflammation occurs. Incorrect strain in the musculoskeletal system is known to cause pain down to the spine.
  • the principle on which the present invention is based is based on arranging a tread plate on at least one contact area of a foot which is adjustable relative to the sole of the shoe.
  • the adjustability of the step plate has the advantage that the usual sole of the shoe, for example a profiled sole of a sneaker, does not need to be changed. It is therefore possible to use conventional shoes, in particular sports shoes, in the sole area. Since the tread plate, on which at least part of the patient's weight rests, is adjustable relative to the sole of the shoe, it is possible to balance it in such a way that even under athletic stress on the patient there is no incorrect strain on the tendons, bone structure, joints, etc. occurs.
  • Another advantage of the shoe according to the invention is that the adjustment of the tread plate can be carried out in any way, so that the patient can determine a position that is favorable for him by simply trying it out or by brief instructions. Since experience has shown that even the smallest adjustment paths are sufficient to achieve the To alleviate or completely heal any complaints that arise, the adjustable shoe according to the invention represents a considerable advantage over orthopedic shoes which were manufactured according to the information of a doctor. If it turns out with such a known shoe that the adjustment has not been carried out in an optimal manner, the patient will continue to have considerable complaints, which can only be remedied by elaborate changes to the shoe or new production of orthopedic shoes. In contrast, the shoe according to the invention is easy to adjust and can be changed at any time.
  • the shoe according to the invention thus makes it possible to alleviate or cure a large number of complaints, and adaptation and adjustment can in particular be made even when minor complaints occur, without having to wait until the complaints reach a certain level and an examination is carried out by an orthopedic surgeon. On the contrary, the shoe according to the invention enables an adjustment which has a prophylactic effect on possible complaints.
  • the tread plate can be tilted about two axes which are arranged substantially in the plane of the tread plate and are substantially perpendicular to one another, the tread plate being freely adjustable about two axes.
  • the shoe according to the invention is particularly well suited to compensating for most complaints, for example of Achilles tendonitis.
  • Another advantage of this adjustability is that the shoe continues to fit the wearer, that is to say that the shoe cannot be pressed by an incorrect adjustment of the sole area.
  • the adjustability of the tread plate can be fixed in a favorable manner in order to avoid an automatic adjustment even under heavy loads.
  • the step plate can be adjusted by means of a screw mechanism.
  • the adjustment can be carried out by the average specialist taking into account the design of the respective shoe on the basis of his specialist knowledge.
  • the tread plate can also be adjusted in the vertical direction.
  • this adjustability opens up the possibility of compensating for slight differences in length between the two legs of a patient.
  • the tread plate is profiled to adapt to the shape of the foot and / or is provided with a footbed and / or is correspondingly coated with an upper sole.
  • a further, particularly advantageous further development of the shoe according to the invention consists in that at least one edge region of the sole of the shoe is provided with a recess, preferably in the form of a rounding of the edge of the sole.
  • This recess prevents, among other things, that the patient's foot is placed on edge areas of the sole which are not part of the anatomically correct footprint and therefore lead to incorrect loading when the foot is placed in the event of an unfavorable movement sequence when it is placed on the floor would.
  • the foot or shoe can be placed on the floor in such a way that it optimally interacts with the correctly set up footprint.
  • the tread plate it is possible to design the tread plate either in the form of a rigid plate, which can additionally be provided, for example, with a footbed.
  • the tread plate in several parts or in multiple members, so that individual areas of the tread plate can be adjusted, ie tilted or raised, independently of the other areas.
  • the tread plate elastic and to provide devices for lifting or lowering these areas under the individual areas of the tread plate.
  • the shoe according to the invention can be used both for curing existing ailments and as a prophylactic.
  • the adjustment of the tread plate can either be carried out by the wearer himself, but it is also possible to make the adjustment on the basis of special measurements and / or in cooperation with a doctor.
  • the shoe according to the invention is suitable for a wide variety of applications. Since neither the outer shape of the shoe nor its sole design has to be changed significantly compared to conventional shoes, the shoe according to the invention can be designed as a gymnastic or sports shoe and as a special shoe for certain sporting disciplines. It is also possible to use the invention Use shoes in normal everyday life or in the course of professional activity.
  • the positive results can be determined both heuristically and iteratively in a simple manner.
  • Another important field of application of the shoe according to the invention is to increase the performance of the human body by precisely adjusting the forces and loads that occur. For example, it is possible to increase walking or jumping ability through such an optimal distribution of force and load.
  • the shoe according to the invention thus opens up the possibility, either on the basis of a customarily dimensioned shoe, which can be worn in the usual way, to make an adjustment when symptoms occur, or to provide the adjustability according to the invention for a shoe which is already designed in an orthopedic manner.
  • the user for example a high-performance athlete, can use a shoe dimensioned in the usual way until complaints appear or indicate.
  • the adjustability provided according to the invention it is possible without particular effort to balance the footprint of the foot in order to avoid stress peaks and to alleviate or cure the symptoms.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 has a conventional sole 2, which is shown only in a schematic manner to simplify the illustration. Otherwise, the shoe 3 is designed in the usual way, for example in the form of a shoe in the embodiment shown in the figures.
  • the shoe 3 has a heel 6, on which an adjusting mechanism for a step plate 1 to be described is mounted, which is arranged in the interior of the shoe and forms a footprint for the heel of the user's foot.
  • the paragraph 6 is provided on its underside with a plurality of recesses 8, in which the heads 9 of screws 10 are arranged.
  • the screws 10 are adjustable in a thread which is arranged in the heel 6 and / or in the sole 2 of the shoe 3 and support the tread plate 1 at their free ends. From the representation of Fig. 3, which shows a plan view of the tread plate 1, it follows that a total of three screws 10 are provided in the embodiment shown, which are arranged so that the tread plate is adjustable about two axes 4, 5, which are arranged substantially in the plane of the tread plate 1 and have a right angle to one another.
  • a free space 11 is provided between the underside of the step plate 1 and the shoe, which enables the step plate 1 to be adjusted.
  • the remaining structure of the shoe 3 corresponds to the prior art.
  • the shoulder 6 can additionally be provided with a lateral rounding 7 be, which in this case prevents the wearer from placing an undesirable load on the foot when it is placed on the floor due to early contact between paragraph 6 and the floor.
