Definitions

  • the present invention relates to health care shoes, particularly shoes with variable relative mean bearing height between the halfsole portion and the rear end portion of the sole.
  • the area of the sole is divided, according to the weight to be supported, into seven parallel portions. They are, from the front to the rear, a tip portion of a fore-and-aft length occupying 12% of the total fore-and-aft length of the sole, a pre-halfsole portion of a length occupying 12% of the total length, a halfsole portion, 16%; a post-halfsole portion, 10%, a waist portion, 25%, a rear portion, 13%, and a rear end portion, 12%.
  • the mean height of the rear end portion is generally greater than that of the halfsole portion. Even in flattics, the two heights are just same, and in most flatties, the rear end portion is still higher than the halfsole portion. So far, there have been no such shoes with, when bearing or not bearing the body weight, the mean height of the halfsole portion greater than that of the rear end portion. There have been no reports, either, on shoes that help correct the standing or walking postures, or cure or prevent chronic lumbago or cervical spondylopathy.
  • the object of the invention is to provide health care shoes, which is capable of effectively correcting the standing and walking postures, and helpful to curing and preventing chronic lumbago or cervical spondylopathy.
  • the definitions of the terms used in the description is as follows:
  • the mean bearing thickness of the rear end portion is the mean thickness of the rear end portion when bearing 3 kilograms per square centimeters.
  • Said "mean bearing thickness" is calculated out through weighted average method, the sampling unit being one square centimeters.
  • the backward inclination angle of the sole is the angle the sole inclines backward, when a shoe with its HH greater than its HRE is placed on a horizontal floor.
  • the following is how to measure the angle taking the midpoint of the boundary between the inner and outer portions of the halfsole portion and the midpoint of the boundary between the inner and outer portions of the rear end portion as reference points, taking the HH and the HRE respectively as the heights of the two points, obtaining the extension line of the line between the two points.
  • Said BIA is just the angle included between said extension line and the horizontal floor.
  • the inward inclination angle of the halfsole portion is the angle the halfsole portion inclines inward, when a shoe with its HOH greater than its HIH is placed on a horizontal floor.
  • the following is how to measure the angle: drawing the perpendicular bisector of the boundary between the inner and outer portions of the halfsole portion, taking the midpoints respectively of the outer section and the inner section of the perpendicular bisector as reference points, taking the HIH and the HOH respectively as the heights of the two points, obtaining the extension line of the line between the two points.
  • Said HAH is just the angle included between said extension line and the horizontal floor.
  • the inward inclination angle of the rear end portion is the angle the rear end portion inclines inward, when a shoe with its HORE greater than its HIRE is placed on a horizontal floor. The following is how to measure the angle: drawing the perpendicular bisector of the boundary between the inner and outer portions of the rear end portion, taking the midpoints respectively of the outer section and the inner section of the perpendicular bisector as reference points, taking the HIRE and the HORE respectively as the heights of the two points, obtaining the extension line of the line between the two points. Said HARE is just the angle included between said extension line and the horizontal floor.
  • the HH is greater than the HRE by 1-75mm.
  • the difference between the HH and the HRE should be variable within a reasonable range, so that the shoes may be adapted to more persons.
  • the shoes are suitable to help remit and cure slight chronic lumbago, rectify walking and standing posture, strengthen the lumbar and abdominal muscles, prevent chronic lumbago, reduce excessive sciatic and lumbar fat, and are helpful to the postpartum restoring of bodily form. Such shoes are most suitable for daily wearing.
  • the shoes are suitable to help remit and cure moderate strain of lumbar muscles and consolidate the curative effect. If the HH is 50-75mm greater than the HRE, the shoes have best curative effect, are helpful to the remission and curing of severe chronic lumbago and have the effect of traction therapy, but the patient wearing the shoes needs some supporting means when standing or walking.
  • the shoes of the invention are higher in the front and lower in the rear. Such posture can also be depicted, besides by the mean bearing height, by the BIA.
  • the mean bearing height would be different depending on the size of the shoes, while the BIA will define the shoes' posture more accurately.
  • the BIA should vary between 2 and 7 degrees, so that the shoes may he used to remit and cure of chronic lumbago as well as correct walking and standing posture, strengthen lumbar and abdominal muscles, and prevent chronic lumbago.
  • the BIA preferably varies between 2.5 and 6 degrees, so that the shoes are most adapted to daily wearing.
  • the effect of the invention is to have the half sole of the foot higher than the heel of the foot when one wearing the shoes stands on a horizontal floor, so that the barycenter of the body is forced to move backward.
  • the feet are the basic organs that a human being's standing and walking relies on, and are the bases of human body mechanics. All movements of the feet have to rely on the soles of shoes to take effect.
  • the configuration of the sole directly influences the transfer of force, can determine the transferring manner of force in some degree. For example, one will have totally different gait when wearing flatties and when wearing high-heel shoes.
  • the body is an organically united mechanical system, the gait determines the mode of motion of the body, and directly influences the body's posture.
  • the heel of foot is more suitable to bear loads than the half sole of foot. If the half sole of foot bears load for long period, it will results in damages to muscles and ligamentum, thus the transversal arch of the foot can not be maintained, ultimately the arch might collapse, resulting in platypodia. While above event will not occur in the heel of the foot, because there is a huge tuberosity under the calcaneus, thus the heel of the foot is the most suitable portion to bear load.
  • the human being's walking ability depends mainly on the heel of the foot. Walking and standing by means of the heel of the foot is a specific and distinguishing feature of the human being which reflects the human being's evolution. From the medical viewpoint, the heel of the foot is the main organ to bear load. If the heel of the foot is damaged, the waling ability will be severely affected, even lost. While the disability or cut of toes or the front part of the foot has less influence to the walking ability, one still can walk.
  • the common point between backward-walking and the invention is to adjust the posture of the back and the waist through controlling the barycenter of the body, but the invention has more advantages, have better and more stable effects, in that: (1) The exercise will be safer, the patient will not tumble because of in-visibility to the road behind him or her; (2)The body may relax sufficiently because the patient need not look backward constantly; (3) Using the shoes of the invention, one can exercise every second, so it is unnecessary to arrange special exercising time or find better floor condition; (4) The effects are more stable. Backward walking relaxes and exercises the waist just temporarily and locally, has no correcting effect.
  • the invention aims at this object through adjusting the body from the root, improving the conformation of the backbone through the body's self-adjusting, can effectively remit and cure the chronic lumbago, and have the function of health care and disease preventing, can correct unhealthy posture formed in the daily life and work.
  • the lumbar muscles relax and shrink alternatively and rhythmically when the user walks, so that the lumbar blood circulation could be improved, which may help improve the metabolism of the lumbar tissues.
  • the stabilization of the lumbar vertebra will be considerably improved when the strength of the lumbar muscles and the ligamentum are restored and improved. Thus the curative effect is consolidated and the disease will not relapse too easily.
  • the applicant will describe the invention from the viewpoint of the relation between the supporting area of the body and the body's balancing ability.
  • said relation is an inverse relation when walking or standing.
  • the two aspects are both opposed and complementary.
  • Weaker the balancing ability is, i.e. weaker the ability of the body to carry out self-balancing is, larger the necessary supporting area is, and more distributed the force on the foot is.
  • stronger the balancing ability is, smaller the necessary supporting area is, and more concentrated the force on the foot is.
  • To stand on a smaller supporting area the easiest way is to stand as upright as possible.
  • Adopting smaller supporting area contributes to overcome and prevent a number of abnormal standing and walking postures, thus decreasing the lumbosacral angle, balancing, the stress on the falces articularis of the backbone arthrosis, thus avoiding overstrain of the backbone and protecting it.
  • smaller supporting area will promote the function of the cerebella in charge of body balance, compel the peripheral muscles of the backbone to contribute to the dynamic balance of the body, maintain the normal state of the backbone more effectively, exercise relevant muscles at the same time that the correct posture of the backbone is kept, thus improving the balancing ability of body and correcting the backbone conformation.
  • the invention can effectively limit the supporting area of the body. Higher the half sole is, greater the load on the heel is, and more concentrated the force is, and smaller the actual supporting area is, and more apparent the ability to compel the backbone peripineral muscles to adjust the balance is.
  • the peripheral muscle groups of the vertebra cervicalis and the vertebra lumbalis are strong enough, a correct standing and walking posture will be formed and kept. After that, the balance-adjusting function of the backbone peripheral muscle groups will become active and natural, no longer passive and compelled.
  • the invention also can make the lumbar, abdominal and sciatic muscles contract and make them have enough exercises. Therefore, wearing the shoes for a certain period will reduce the lumbar and abdominal fat, and is helpful to weight reduction and the postpartum restoring of bodily form. Excessive abdominal fat and pregnancy are also one of the causes resulting in the abnormal state of the waist, being one of the factors contributing to the chronic lumbago. Said factors and the diseases in the waist are sometimes the causes and the effects of each other. The abnormal state in the waist may be the cause of fat accumulation. So, eliminating the cause will improve the bodily form with stable effect, without reoccurrence, without needs to diet. A number of teenagers have abnormal backbone postures derived from long time unhealthy habits and necessary to be corrected.
  • the product of the invention may achieve the object very well, without any uncomfortable sensation or inconvenience, better than the backbone posture-correcting products in the art. To such abnormal posture formed in relative short period, the progress and effect to correct it using the shoes of the invention are more apparent than to correct the chronic lumbago.
  • the product of the invention has the following advantages: (1) it may eliminate the basic pathogeny of the curved backbone. With the HH greater than the HRE, the half sole of the foot of the user standing or walking will be higher than the heel of the foot so the barycenter of the body is compelled to move backward, so that the gluteus will be moderately strained, and the forward inclination of the pelvis will be limited effectively. Therefore, the unhealthy standing and walking posture excessively inclined forward will be rectified effectively, the backbone will be naturally straight, and the stress on the falces articularis of the articulus of the vertebra lumbalis will be balanced. Thus the lumbar muscle will not suffer or suffer less overstrain.
  • the shoes of the invention may remit and cure the strain of lumbar muscles, and have the function of health protection.
  • the shoes have excellent long period curative effect. When one walks, the unhealthy posture is corrected, the correct postures are stabilized, and the body is strengthened. The remittance, curing, correcting and stabilization occur simultaneously, so the curative effect is lasting, the disease will not relapse. (3) The technical prejudice in the shoemaking industry is overcome.
  • the invention provides shoes with its HH 1-75mm greater than its HRE, and with its HOH and/or HORE 1-30mm greater than its HIH and/or HIRE.
  • the posture of the halfsole portion and/or rear portion can also described, besides by the mean bearing height, by the inward inclination angle.
  • the mean bearing height would be different depending on the size of the shoes, while the inward inclination angle will define the shoes posture more accurately.
  • the HAH and/or HARE should vary between 2 and 7 degrees, so that the shoes may affect the postures of the feet effectively. There are very thick fat in the halfsole and the heel of the foot. If the rear end portion of the sole just inclines slightly inward, the influence to the posture of the calcaneus will be little and the inclining state of the heel of the foot cannot be changed, so the shoes will not be able to rectify O-legs.
  • the HAH and/or HARE vary between 2.5 and 5 degrees.
  • Such shoes can prevent and rectify O-legs without causing uncomfortable sensation, and without in-advantageous influence to normal standing and walking.
  • the half sole of the foot is relative soft; the inclination of the sole of shoes affects the half sole of the foot less than the heel of the foot So, generally, the HAH should greater than the HARE.
  • the HAH and the HARE may be same or different depending on practical situation.
  • the shoes with same HAH and HARE are suitable for healthy person.
  • the shoes with the HAH greater than the HARE are suitable for a person with disease in the heel of the foot.
  • the shoes with the HAH less than the HARE are suitable for a person with disease in the half sole of the foot.
  • the bearing height of the halfsole portion and/or rear end portion decreases gradually from the outer portion to the inner portion.
  • the inward inclining bearing surface of the halfsole portion will make the lower surface of the outer portion of the half sole of the foot (where the fifth toe is) higher than the lower surface of the inner portion (where the thumb is) when the user stands on a horizontal floor.
  • the rear end portion of the shoes also can be formed as above configuration.
  • the sole will be higher in the front, lower in the rear, and higher in the outer, lower in the inner.
  • the body weight when walking or standing, the body weight will be centered on the inner-rear end of the foot; the barycenter will be between the feet, in favor of the balanced distribution of the body weight between the two legs.
  • the left and right sides of the waist will bear the body weight more equably avoiding excessive strain of either side.
  • the invention may prevent spraining the ankle, and avoid the unhealthy state of the cervical and lumbar muscles. This feature is very important, because most patients suffering chronic lumbago have their muscle groups on the two sides of the lumbar vertebra in unbalanced state, with the rear-outer portion of the heel of the foot hearing greater force. This can be seen from the worn condition of soles of shoes: most soles of shoes have the most worn parts on the rear-outer portions.
  • the O-legs When forming a new habit after using the shoes for a long period, the O-legs will be rectified. (3) Capable of rectifying the lateralcurvature.
  • the shoes higher in the front and lower in the rear may help limit the forward inclination of the pelvis, but cannot help limit the leftward or rightward inclination of the pelvis. If the two legs of an O-legs person are curved in different extent, the lengths of the two legs will not be same, resulting in the lateralcurvature. Therefore, if the O-legs are rectified, the lateralcurvature will be rectified, fundamentally. (4) The loads that the legs and the feet bear will be more balanced.
  • the invention provides health care shoes with its HH 1-75mm greater than the HRE, its HOH and/or HORE 1-30mm greater than its HIH and/or HIRE, and its TR 1-15mm greater than its TRE.
  • the TRE is 1-3mm greater than the TR.
  • the TRE is greater than the TR by 3-8mm.
  • the TRE is greater than the TR by 8-15mm.
  • the heel In know shoes, the heel generally is relatively bulky, with its rear end portion and rear portion all heightened. Actually, this is unnecessary, because the rear portion generally does not bear any load, it is a waste of material to heighten the rear portion when heightening other bearing-load portions; and also has the effect of increasing the weight of the shoes and the burden of the feet. So, heightening the rear portion has no advantage even has some disadvantages. For example, if the material of the sole is in bad quality, or if the sole is over worn, the thickness of the rear end portion will decrease. Then, the rear portion, which does not bear any load in the beginning, will begin to bear the load. If the rear portion of the shoes bears loads, the arch of the foot will be damaged severely.
  • the transition between the rear end portion of the sole and the other portions of the sole may be continuous or discontinuous.
  • the halfsole portion and/or rear end portion of the outsole there are at least two raised parts, similar to the bossing of ball-playing shoes or track shoes, which may be of metal, rubber, plastic material, or combination of both rubber and plastic material.
  • the raised parts may be of any shape such as cylindrical form, square column, prism, cone and pyramid. They may be integral with or mounted on the outer sole of the shoes. The diameter and height of the raised parts may be selected depending on the types of shoes. With such raised parts, the shoes will be considerably lightened, very comfortable, and may be manufactured in lower cost. When only the halfsole portion less such raised parts, the structure will be similar to track shoes, light and suited to sports, thus suited to active teenagers.
