Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour positionner au moins un pied, en vue de la réalisation de semelle(s) ou de chaussure(s) et notamment un système de génération de surfaces enveloppes du dessous d'un ou de pieds, la surface inférieure du pied s'appelant surface plantaire.The present invention relates to a device for positioning at least one foot, for the purpose of producing sole (s) or shoe (s) and in particular a system for generating envelope surfaces from below one or feet, the lower surface foot called plantar surface.
La surface générée se présente sous la forme d'une succession de droites normales à un plan vertical passant par l'axe sagittal du pied.The generated surface is in the form of a succession of straight lines to a vertical plane passing through the sagittal axis of the foot.
Sur le plan anatomique, la surface plantaire est définie comme la surface inférieure du pied. Elle se caractérise par une peau plus épaisse doublée d'un coussin adipeux (logettes fibreuses remplies de graisse) assez mince sous la voûte et plus épais au niveau des surfaces portantes. La surface plantaire est la partie du pied qui subit le plus de contraintes car elle supporte tous le poids du corps. Elle est en contact en tout ou partie avec le sol à un moment quelconque de la marche sur sol plan et dur, meuble ou accidenté.Anatomically, the plantar surface is defined as the lower surface of the foot. It is characterized by a thicker skin lined with an adipose cushion (fibrous stalls filled with fat) quite thin under the arch and thicker at the level of the bearing surfaces. The plantar surface is the part of the foot that undergoes the most stress because it supports all the weight of the body. It is in contact wholly or partly with the ground at any time during the march on flat and hard ground, loose or uneven.
Nous considérerons l'invention dans le cadre d'une application à la fabrication de chaussures orthopédiques ou sur mesures, sans que cela soit limitatif quand à l'utilisation de l'invention.We will consider the invention in the context of an application to the manufacture of orthopedic or customized shoes, without this being limiting when using the invention.
Une chaussure orthopédique peut être définie comme une chaussure sur mesure incluant une semelle orthopédique afin de corriger ou de faciliter une marche pathologique, et ce à l'aide de différents procédés à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur de la chaussure. Elle peut également correspondre à l'impossibilité de se chausser en prêt-à-porter.An orthopedic shoe can be defined as a custom shoe including an orthopedic insole to correct or facilitate a pathological walk, using different methods to inside or outside the shoe. It can also correspond to the impossibility of getting ready to wear.
De nombreux procédés existent pour la prise de mesures du ou des pieds en vue de la réalisation de chaussures orthopédiques ou sur mesure.Many methods exist for taking measurements of the foot or feet for the realization of orthopedic shoes or custom.
on connaît les mesures prises avec crayon et mètre ruban souple, les procédés de type numérique/optique (scanner 3 D, télémètre, stéréoscopie, laser ou autres) procédés selon les documents
Tous ces systèmes ont en commun une prise de mesures avec le pied reposant sur une surface plane et homogène, ces systèmes ne générant pas de surface. Ils se contentent de reproduire l'état du pied dans une position non contrôlée. Cette position ne correspond pas a la situation du pied chaussé. Il est nécessaire, en partant de cette position, d'interpréter les mesures afin d'ajuster certains paramètres : hauteur et pente du talon, relevé du bout, chute et galbe de la cambrure entre autre.All these systems have in common a measurement with the foot resting on a flat and homogeneous surface, these systems do not generate surface. They are content to reproduce the state of the foot in an uncontrolled position. This position does not correspond to the situation of the foot shod. It is necessary, starting from this position, to interpret the measures in order to adjust certain parameters: heel height and slope, end elevation, fall and curve of the arch, among others.
Il est aussi connu de réaliser des moulages et des système de relevé de forme tridimensionnelle comme décrit dans le documents
Les forces exercées sur le pied peuvent être déterminées grâce à la relation qui lie le déplacement des pions à la force qu'ils exercent sur le pied grâce au coefficient de raideur des ressorts de rappel des pions.The forces exerted on the foot can be determined by the relationship between the movement of the pawns and the force exerted on the foot by the coefficient of stiffness of the pion return springs.
Pour définir une position moyenne du pied compatible avec un bon chaussant, il faut multiplier les prises d'empreintes et de mesures. La surface d'appui du pied n'est pas générée, mais reproduit simplement le profil du dessous de pied à l'équilibre selon la force de rappel des ressorts et la machine donne une position des pions à un instant précis, sans possibilité d'agir directement sur la surface d'appui.To define an average position of the foot compatible with a good footwear, it is necessary to multiply the taking of impressions and measurements. The support surface of the foot is not generated, but simply reproduces the profile of the footboard in equilibrium according to the restoring force of the springs and the machine gives a position of the pawns at a precise moment, without possibility of act directly on the support surface.
Le résultat obtenu dépend des conditions de capture des mesures, indépendamment du système choisi; le simple fait d'être debout ou assis influe sur le résultat d'une mesure et ce avec n'importe quelle solution technique.The result obtained depends on the capture conditions of the measurements, independently of the chosen system; the simple act of standing or sitting influences the result of a measurement with any technical solution.
Les moulages par bandes plâtrées semblent présenter une alternative intéressante, mais ils ont l'inconvénient de faire subir aux pieds des contraintes difficilement mesurables du fait de l'enroulement autour du pied (compression due à la tension de la bande).Plaster bandages seem to present an interesting alternative, but they have the disadvantage of subjecting the feet constraints difficult to measure because of the winding around the foot (compression due to the tension of the band).
En plaçant une cale matérialisant le talon sous le pied, on obtient un écrasement non mesurable des bandes plâtrées et en supposant que l'enveloppe de moulage soit d'une épaisseur constante, les contraintes exercées par la pression du pied sur le talon simulant l'équin sont non mesurables. Le pied étant recouvert par les bandes plâtrées, cela limite les contrôles visuels possibles.By placing a wedge materializing the heel under the foot, we obtain an unmeasurable crushing of the plastered strips and assuming that the casing is of a constant thickness, the stresses exerted by the pressure of the foot on the heel simulating the equine are unmeasurable. The foot being covered by the plaster strips, this limits the visual controls possible.
En prenant le moulage avec le patient assis, pied reposant au sol (demi charge) ou avec le patient debout, on a les mêmes inconvénients qu'avec les prises de mesures citées plus haut. La prise de mesures en décubitus (dorsal ou ventral), si elle permet une excellente correction de certaines malformations du pied au repos, ne garantit pas de retrouver cette correction avec le pied en appui au sol. Il est presque impossible de pouvoir garantir un équin précis.By taking the molding with the patient sitting, foot resting on the ground (half load) or with the standing patient, there are the same disadvantages as with the measurements mentioned above. The taking of supine (dorsal or ventral) measures, if it allows an excellent correction of certain malformations of the foot at rest, does not guarantee to find this correction with the foot resting on the ground. It is almost impossible to be able to guarantee a precise equine.
On peut espérer pallier l'inconvénient de la prise de mesures sur surface dure et plane en positionnant le pied sur une surface reproduisant la surface interne inférieure (semelle première) d'une chaussure, mais pour prétendre à une bonne précision, il faut avoir en sa possession la surface correspondant exactement à chaque pied avec toutes les caractéristiques induites, hauteur de talon, pointure, relevé du bout etc.... et, si la surface ne correspond pas exactement au pied, il est pratiquement impossible de mesurer les écarts entre la surface plantaire et la zone d'appui.We can hope to overcome the disadvantage of taking measurements on hard and flat surface by positioning the foot on a surface reproducing the lower inner surface (first sole) of a shoe, but to claim a good accuracy, must be in its possession the surface corresponding exactly to each foot with all the characteristics induced, height of heel, size, raised end etc ... and, if the surface does not correspond exactly to the foot, it is practically impossible to measure the differences between the plantar surface and the support zone.
En positionnant le pied sur une cambrure en matériaux transparents matérialisant la semelle première d'une chaussure pour une hauteur de talon donnée et en faisant concorder le scaphoïde du patient avec le point haut de cette cambrure (repère sur la surface d'appui), on peut avoir un contrôle visuel des écrasements des parties molles du pied qui peut donner une idée des contraintes subies par le pied.By placing the foot on a camber in transparent material materializing the first sole of a shoe for a given height of heel and matching the scaphoid of the patient with the high point of this arch (mark on the support surface), one can have a visual control of the crushing of the soft parts of the foot which can give an idea of the stresses undergone by the foot.
On peut légèrement influer sur le réglage en avançant ou en reculant le pied du patient si l'opérateur n'est pas satisfait de ce qu'il voit. Ce réglage offre peu de possibilités.The adjustment can be slightly influenced by moving forward or backing the patient's foot if the operator is not satisfied with what he sees. This setting offers few possibilities.
De plus un tel système ne permet pas la mesure directe d'inégalité de longueur des membres inférieurs. Le résultat de l'adéquation surface d'appui/pied ne repose que sur les sensations du patient sans aucune possibilité de corrections et de réglage.Moreover such a system does not allow the direct measurement of length inequality of the lower limbs. The result of the adequacy of the support surface / foot is based only on the sensations of the patient without any possibility of corrections and adjustments.
Afin de limiter les interprétations qui sont sources d'erreurs, il est nécessaire que le pied se trouve dans les conditions les plus proches possibles de l'état où il sera dans la chaussure.In order to limit the interpretations which are sources of errors, it is necessary that the foot is in the conditions as close as possible to the state where it will be in the shoe.
Il doit donc reposer sur une surface permettant l'appui des zones de la surface plantaire en fonction de critères physiologiques, de correction, de confort ou autres définis par l'opérateur selon l'usage voulu en fonction de l'utilisation finale des mesures capturées.It must therefore rest on a surface allowing the support of the zones of the plantar surface according to physiological, correction, comfort or other criteria defined by the operator according to the intended use according to the end use of the captured measures. .
Aussi, contrairement aux méthodes ou procédés décrits ci-dessus, la présente invention part de la génération d'une surface sous le pied, et non d'une mesure de la forme du pied en appui sur un dispositif déformable sous l'action du poids du patient, et propose un dispositif pour positionner au moins un pied, en vue de la réalisation de semelle(s) ou de chaussure(s)qui comprend une machine pourvue d'un ensemble de pièces mobiles sensiblement rigides dont la position en hauteur est ajustable pour définir une surface gauche adaptée au pied, l'ensemble de pièces mobiles étant adapté à générer une surface gauche en se déplaçant de bas en haut et de haut en bas, indépendamment sous l'action d'actionneurs.Also, unlike the methods or methods described above, the present invention starts from the generation of a surface under the foot, and not a measurement of the shape of the foot resting on a deformable device under the action of the weight of the patient, and proposes a device for positioning at least one foot, for the realization of sole (s) or shoe (s) which comprises a machine provided with a set of substantially rigid moving parts whose height position is adjustable to define a left surface adapted to the foot, the set of moving parts being adapted to generate a left surface moving upwards and downwards, independently under the action of actuators.
Avantageusement, les pièces mobiles sont des éléments discrets se présentant sous la forme de barrettes parallélépipédiques disposées perpendiculairement à l'axe du pied.Advantageously, the moving parts are discrete elements in the form of parallelepipedal bars arranged perpendicular to the axis of the foot.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, la position des pièces mobiles est réalisée à l'aide d'actionneurs mécaniques.According to a preferred embodiment, the position of the moving parts is achieved by means of mechanical actuators.
Pour positionner au moins un pied de manière optimale, le dispositif de l'invention comporte avantageusement des butées latérales et/ou arrières qui permettent de positionner, maintenir ou contraindre le pied.To position at least one foot optimally, the device of the invention advantageously comprises lateral and / or rear stops which allow to position, maintain or constrain the foot.
La surface obtenue par le dispositif de l'invention peut être complétée par un ou des éléments correcteurs, orthopédiques, ou de confort.The surface obtained by the device of the invention may be supplemented by one or more corrective, orthopedic or comfort elements.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le dispositif de l'invention comporte des moyens de génération d'une onde vibratoire se déplaçant du talon vers l'avant du pied pour soumettre le pied à des déformations permettant la détection de gène éventuelle générée par la surface d'appui.According to an advantageous embodiment, the device of the invention comprises means for generating a vibratory wave moving from the heel towards the front of the foot to subject the foot to deformations. allowing the detection of possible gene generated by the bearing surface.
Elle concerne en outre un dispositif et un procédé de prise de mesures utilisant au moins un tel dispositif ainsi qu'un dispositif de récupération des pressions plantaire d'au moins un pied comprenant au minimum un tel dispositif et un procédé de fabrication de chaussures utilisant au moins un tel dispositif.It also relates to a device and a measurement method using at least one such device and a device for the recovery of plantar pressures of at least one foot comprising at least one such device and a method of manufacturing shoes using the same. least such a device.
Le dispositif, selon l'invention, est particulièrement destiné à la conception, à la mise au point et à la fabrication de chaussures orthopédiques ou de confort.The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the design, development and manufacture of orthopedic shoes or comfort.

On peut classer ces élaborations, dans le cadre de la chaussure et sans que cela soit limitatif sur la portée de l'invention, en deux groupes :We can classify these elaborations, in the context of the shoe and without limiting the scope of the invention, into two groups:
Le premier groupe concerne l'adéquation entre un modèle de forme 7 existant, comme représenté à la figure 3, et les pieds des patients par exemple pour un étude de population type en vue de la validation d'un chaussant standard.The first group concerns the adequacy between an existing model of
Le chaussant est le volume théorique interne d'une chaussure. Il a pour limites les surfaces d'appui du pied dans la chaussure : La semelle première pour le dessous du pied et les éléments constitutifs de la tige (dessus de la chaussure) pour le dessus du pied.The footwear is the theoretical internal volume of a shoe. It has for limits the surfaces of support of the foot in the shoe: the first sole for the bottom of the foot and the constitutive elements of the stem (top of the shoe) for the top of the foot.
Le volume chaussant est donc en grande partie défini par le volume tridimensionnel de la forme 7 de fabrication.Footwear volume is therefore largely defined by the three-dimensional volume of the
Dans ce cas, la courbure de la surface gauche est générée selon les critères de la forme 7 déjà existante et on va vérifier son adéquation avec le pied du ou des patients en visualisant les pressions d'appui lorsque le pied est positionné sur la forme comme représenté par exemple à la figure 6.In this case, the curvature of the left surface is generated according to the criteria of the already existing
Le second groupe concerne la génération d'un profil correspondant au pied du patient installé sur la machine, soit par le patient lui même, soit par un ou des opérateurs : radiologue, bottier, podo-orthésiste, podologue etc ..., afin de positionner le pied de la manière choisie en fonction du résultat souhaité (compensation d'inégalité de longueurs des membres inférieurs, hauteur de talon maximum supportable, positionnement du pied avant immobilisation forcée, recherche de cambrure physiologique, établissement de semelles orthopédiques dont la face inférieure soit adaptée aux chaussures devant les recevoir, prises de mesures ou moulages par différents procédés en respectant la position finale du pied dans la chaussure, etc ...).The second group concerns the generation of a profile corresponding to the foot of the patient installed on the machine, either by the patient himself, or by one or more operators: radiologist, boot maker, podo-orthotist, chiropodist etc. ..., in order to position the foot in the chosen way according to the desired result (compensation of unequal length of the lower limbs, maximum heel height bearable, positioning of the foot before forced immobilization, search of physiological arch, establishment of soles orthopedic whose bottom face is adapted to the shoes to receive them, measurements or moldings by different processes respecting the final position of the foot in the shoe, etc ...).
Dans ce cas, le positionnement des barrettes 2 n'est plus identique à un galbe de chaussant existant mais correspond à la position que le praticien veut obtenir en fonction des critères définis ci-dessus.In this case, the positioning of the
L'invention permet en outre de prendre des moulages en garantissant un équin précis, à condition de répartir harmonieusement les bandes plâtrées pour avoir une épaisseur régulière, condition indispensable pour obtenir un positif après coulage adapté à la marche. Cela nécessite cependant un opérateur expérimenté, surtout pour la méthode dite «à l'enroulé ». Pour cette application il suffit de régler la machine représentée à la figure 1 avec le patient installé dessus; puis de modifier la position de l'ensemble des barrettes 2 afin d'obtenir un retrait équivalent à la surépaisseur due aux bandes plâtrées.The invention also makes it possible to take moldings by guaranteeing a precise equine, provided that the plastered strips are harmoniously distributed so as to have a regular thickness, a prerequisite for obtaining a positive after casting suitable for walking. However, this requires an experienced operator, especially for the so-called "coiled" method. For this application it is sufficient to adjust the machine shown in Figure 1 with the patient installed on it; then change the position of all the
Dans une fabrication sur mesure ou orthopédique, il faut pouvoir obtenir une surface d'appui correspondant parfaitement au résultat souhaité. Le pied influe sur la surface d'appui, et la surface d'appui influe en retour sur le pied. En modifiant la surface d'appui, l'invention permet d'agir sur l'architecture du pied et, par conséquent, sur la posture générale du corps.In a custom or orthopedic manufacture, it is necessary to be able to obtain a support surface corresponding perfectly to the desired result. The foot influences the bearing surface, and the bearing surface in turn influences the foot. By modifying the support surface, the invention makes it possible to act on the architecture of the foot and, consequently, on the general posture of the body.
Le pied s'appuie sur le sol par trois points principaux : le dessous du calcanéum et les première et cinquièmes têtes métatarsiennes. Ces trois points forment le polygone de sustentation du pied. L'étude de la marche, pour un pied physiologique, soit au travers d'une surface transparente, soit au moyen d'une surface équipée de capteurs de pression (tapis de marche) met en évidence une prise de contact du pied avec le sol par le bord externe du talon, du talon en entier puis, selon le morphotype :
- Soit un appui progressif du bord externe du pied jusqu'au contact de la cinquième tête métatarsienne.
- Soit un contact des cinquièmes têtes métatarsiennes puis du bord externe du pied.
- Either a progressive support of the external edge of the foot until contact with the fifth metatarsal head.
- Either a contact of the fifth metatarsal heads and then the outer edge of the foot.
Dans les deux cas, le bord externe du pied, en entrant en contact avec le sol, provoque la pronation de l'avant pied et le contact progressif des têtes métatarsiennes jusqu'à la première d'entre elles.In both cases, the outer edge of the foot, coming into contact with the ground, causes the pronation of the forefoot and the progressive contact of the metatarsal heads to the first of them.
Le bord externe et le talon quittent progressivement le sol de l'arrière vers l'avant tandis que les orteils y prennent contact. Les têtes métatarsiennes « roulent» de la cinquième à la première. Le premier métatarsien et le gros orteil assument la charge de tout le poids du corps en fin de propulsion du pas. L'étude de la locomotion humaine fait apparaître que le pied physiologique durant la marche entre en contact avec le sol par une surface qui correspond à la surface plantaire telle qu'elle est définie plus haut.The outer edge and the heel gradually leave the ground from the back to the front while the toes make contact with it. The metatarsal heads "roll" from fifth to first. The first metatarsal and the big toe assume the load of all the weight of the body at the end of the propulsion of the step. The study of human locomotion shows that the physiological foot during walking comes into contact with the ground by a surface which corresponds to the plantar surface as defined above.
La voûte plantaire n'entre pas en contact avec le sol, sauf accident du terrain ou sol très meuble, sable mou par exemple.The arch does not come into contact with the ground, except in case of an accident of the ground or very loose soil, soft sand for example.
Même dans ce cas, le contact est bref et cesse dès que le sol se raffermit et que la progression devient plus aisée. Par contre, le bord externe du pied est la zone qui participe en durée le plus longtemps à la répartition de la charge au cours de la marche.Even in this case, the contact is brief and stops as soon as the ground is firmer and the progression becomes easier. By cons, the outer edge of the foot is the area that participates in the longest duration to the distribution of the load during walking.
Le seul cas où la voûte plantaire est systématiquement en contact avec le sol correspond à un effondrement du tarse qualifié de pied plat de troisième degré.The only case where the arch is systematically in contact with the ground corresponds to a collapse of the tarsus qualified flat foot third degree.
En approfondissant l'étude de la marche, on constate que chacun des deux pieds forme un angle de 15° environ par rapport à la ligne de progression de la marche.In furthering the study of walking, it can be seen that each of the two feet forms an angle of approximately 15 ° with respect to the line of progression of the step.
Le principe de l'invention est de générer une surface d'appui pour chacun des deux pieds (ou éventuellement pour un seul), selon les principes mis en évidence ci-dessus.The principle of the invention is to generate a bearing surface for each of the two feet (or possibly for one), according to the principles highlighted above.
Comme vu précédemment, la machine peut notamment être réglée de manière à reproduire ce qui existe déjà : la surface inférieure interne d'une chaussure par exemple, afin de contrôler l'adéquation pied/forme 7 mais elle peut également être réglée selon des critères propres à chacun, afin de positionner le pied d'une manière optimale pour la mise au point d'orthèse plantaire et/ou la capture des mesures.As seen above, the machine can in particular be adjusted to reproduce what already exists: the inner bottom surface of a shoe, for example, to control the fit foot /
L'invention est un système de génération de surfaces gauches. Cette ou ces surfaces correspondent, dans ce qui suit, à la ou aux surfaces enveloppes 8 du ou des pieds comme représenté en figure 2. Cette surface se présente sous la forme d'une succession de droites normales à un plan vertical passant par l'axe sagittal du pied II représenté à la figure 5.The invention is a system for generating left surfaces. This or these surfaces correspond, in what follows, to the enveloping surface (s) of the foot (s) as shown in FIG. 2. This surface is in the form of a succession of straight lines at a vertical plane passing through the Sagittal axis of foot II shown in Figure 5.
La ou les surfaces peuvent être élaborées en fonction de critères variés, selon la ou les applications visées.The surface or surfaces can be developed according to various criteria, depending on the targeted application (s).
L'axe du pied II est défini selon des critères anatomiques généraux (moyenne de population type) ou particuliers (sur mesures, orthopédie etc.).The axis of foot II is defined according to general anatomical criteria (average of typical population) or particular (custom-made, orthopedic etc.).
Le système de génération de la surface gauche comprend donc un ensemble de pièces mobiles 2 se déplaçant de bas en haut et de haut en bas, indépendamment, simultanément ou en interaction les unes par rapport aux autres, selon les résultats ou les mesures prises en considération.The left surface generation system therefore comprises a set of moving
Différentes méthodes ou systèmes peuvent permettre le déplacement de ces pièces et elles peuvent être de différentes formes ou dimensions.Different methods or systems can move these parts and they can be of different shapes or sizes.
Ces pièces mobiles sont maintenues ensemble dans un boîtier 1, un cadre, un support ou de toute autre manière.These moving parts are held together in a
Sur la surface supérieure des pièces mobiles, le patient va poser le pied et le praticien va le soumettre à des déformations ou contraintes contrôlées. Il est possible de prendre ensuite différentes mesures en tenant compte des déformations engendrées.On the upper surface of the moving parts, the patient will set foot and the practitioner will submit it to deformations or controlled stresses. It is then possible to take different measurements taking into account the deformations generated.
L'invention peut également servir à relever la forme d'un objet sans qu'aucune déformation ne lui soit apportée (la surface inférieure d'une forme 7 de fabrication de chaussure par exemple).The invention can also be used to raise the shape of an object without any deformation being provided to it (the lower surface of a form of shoe manufacturing for example).
Une plaque en matériaux souples 6 représentée notamment aux figures 1 et 6 peut isoler l'objet ou le corps, le pied 3 d'un patient par exemple, du contact direct d'avec les pièces mobiles 2. Des cales, supports ou appuis peuvent être ajoutés ou glissés sous le pied posé sur la machine afin d'augmenter la portée, le confort ou/et les possibilités de l'invention.A
Les déplacements permettant les réglages de la machine de l'invention sont gérés directement ou indirectement par l'opérateur. Le réglage peut être réalisé avec un patient sur la machine ou à vide, selon le travail effectué.The movements allowing the adjustments of the machine of the invention are managed directly or indirectly by the operator. The setting can be performed with a patient on the machine or empty, depending on the work done.
Le déplacement vertical des pièces générant la surface supérieure de la machine peut être bloqué dans une position déterminée pour une exploitation directe, ou afin de pouvoir effectuer un relevé, par le moyen de son choix, de la surface générée par la machine par traçage direct du profil, à l'aide d'un papier et d'un crayon, par balayage optique ou laser, par mémorisation de l'état du système de commande de déplacement des éléments mobiles, par génération de signaux (électrique ou autres), par lecture directe sur ces pièces.The vertical movement of the parts generating the upper surface of the machine can be locked in a determined position for direct operation, or in order to be able to take a survey, by the means of his choice, of the surface generated by the machine by direct tracing of the machine. profile, using a paper and a pencil, optical scanning or laser scanning, storing the state of the moving elements moving control system, generating signals (electrical or otherwise), reading directly on these parts.
La position des boîtiers 1 dans l'espace peut faire l'objet d'un traitement analogue.The position of the
On peut proposer, de manière non exhaustive, la méthodologie suivante. ceci afin de fixer les applications préférentielles visées par l'invention :The following methodology may be proposed in a non-exhaustive way. in order to fix the preferred applications targeted by the invention:
Dans un premier temps, il convient de définir l'angle que forme chaque pied par rapport à la ligne de progression de la marche, ainsi que l'écart entre les pieds, ceci afin de définir la position précise de chaque boîtier 1, l'un par rapport à l'autre ou la position du pied reposant sur un boîtier 1 unique par rapport à l'autre pied.Firstly, it is necessary to define the angle that each foot forms with respect to the progression line of the step, as well as the distance between the feet, in order to define the precise position of each
Ces mesures peuvent être effectuées soit au moyen d'une plaque à retour de pression, soit par un système embarqué sur le patient, soit par mesures directes par l'opérateur au moyen d'un mètre ou autre, le patient étant debout dans une position de repos.These measurements can be made either by means of a pressure-return plate, or by a system on the patient, or by direct measurements by the operator by means of a meter or other, the patient being standing in a position rest.
A l'aide de ces mesures, de la longueur du pied, de la hauteur de talon souhaité, de la distance arrière du pied/articulations métatarso-phalangiénnes, et de différents élément concernant une pathologie éventuelle (raccourcissement etc.) un pré-réglage de la machine est effectué à vide.With the aid of these measurements, the length of the foot, the desired heel height, the distance behind the foot / metatarsophalangeal joints, and various elements concerning a possible pathology (shortening etc.) a pre-setting of the machine is performed empty.
Le patient monte alors sur la machine. Une plate-forme munie d'un système élévateur peut faciliter l'accès. La machine peut également se trouver dans une fosse à cet effet. Un siège tournant 20 accueille éventuellement le patient. Le dossier peut en être réglable et l'assise inclinable. Une barre d'appui 21 (genre déambulateur) peut compléter le système de sécurisation du patient.The patient then climbs onto the machine. A platform equipped with a lift system can facilitate access. The machine can also be in a pit for this purpose. A
Le patient assis, la hauteur de l'assise du siège par rapport à la machine est réglée de façon optimale : le plus souvent fémur parallèle au sol, jambes perpendiculaires sur les plans sagittal et axial à cette même surfacesThe seated patient, the height of the seat seat relative to the machine is optimally adjusted: most often femur parallel to the ground, legs perpendicular to the sagittal and axial planes to the same surfaces
On positionne les butées 5 arrières au contact du tendon d'Achille, du calcanéum etc... et on positionne le pied sur le boîtier de façon à avoir les axes des pieds II perpendiculaires aux barrettes 2. Les butées 51 latérales sont alors amenées au contact des pieds.The rear abutments are positioned in contact with the Achilles tendon, the calcaneus, etc., and the foot is positioned on the casing so as to have the axes of the feet II perpendicular to the
Le patient se met debout. Un siège relevable peut aider à cette opération. Il faut alors affiner les réglages de position des boîtiers 1 l'un par rapport à l'autre, de position des barrettes 2 en se basant sur les informations visuelles : bascule du bassin, rotation des genoux, position du calcanéum, répartition des pressions sous la surface plantaire 12 comme représenté en figure 6, sensation du patient etc.The patient stands up. A lift seat can help with this operation. It is then necessary to refine the positional adjustments of the
Il est évident que les réglages des butées 5, 51 de positionnement du pied sont modifiés si besoin. Les barrettes 2 de la machine peuvent être complétées par un tapis 6 ou un autre système de capture des pressions 12 exercées par le(s) pied(s) 3 sur la surface d'appui. Il est ainsi possible d'optimiser la surface pour une meilleure répartition des pressions ou de décharger une zone sensible en fonction du relevé de la figure 6 par exemple.It is obvious that the settings of the
On établit alors par le moyen de son choix le contour de la semelle première, soit par récupération directe des données de la plaque de retour des pressions 12, par traçage du contour du pied, comparaison avec une bibliothèque de semelle première etc....The contour of the first sole is then established by the means of its choice, either by direct recovery of the data of the
Grâce aux butées 5, 51 de positionnement le patient peut se déplacer, on est assuré de remettre les pieds toujours au même endroit sur la machine.Thanks to the
Une fois cette semelle première établie et coupée dans le matériaux voulu, on positionne dessus les éléments correcteurs choisis (barre rétro-capitale, voûte plantaire, appui rétro-capital etc.).Pour avoir une tournure de semelle première plus conforme à l'esthétique couramment admise, il peut être intéressant de garnir le creux de la voûte plantaire du pied au moyen d'un élément. On remet le pied du patient sur les semelles et on contrôle l'action des corrections. Si besoin, on soustrait à la surface d'appui générée par la machine l'équivalent de l'épaisseur de la semelle orthopédique.Once this sole is first established and cut in the desired material, it is positioned on the corrective elements chosen (retro-capital bar, arch, support retro-capital etc.) To have a first soles turn more consistent with aesthetics admittedly, it may be interesting to fill the hollow arch of the foot with an element. We put the foot of the patient on the soles and we control the action of corrections. If necessary, subtract from the generated support surface by the machine the equivalent of the thickness of the orthopedic insole.
Le dispositif de l'invention comprend selon un mode de réalisation avantageux des moyens pour générer, au moyen des actionneurs mécaniques 4 un mouvement des barrettes 2 réalisant une onde vibratoire se déplaçant du talon vers l'avant du pied.The device of the invention comprises, according to an advantageous embodiment, means for generating, by means of the
Le fait de produire une onde se déplaçant du talon vers l'avant du pied permet un contrôle de la tolérance et de la non gêne des éléments composant la semelle et/ou des butées latérale et/ou arrière, 5, 51 en contact avec le(s) pied(s). On peut également choisir de prendre un moulage de la surface plantaire du patient par le moyen de son choix, ou même un moulage complet du pied et/ou de la jambe.The fact of producing a wave moving from the heel towards the front of the foot allows a control of the tolerance and the non-interference of the elements composing the sole and / or the lateral and / or rear stops, 5, 51 in contact with the (s) foot (s). One can also choose to take a molding of the plantar surface of the patient by the means of his choice, or even a complete molding of the foot and / or the leg.
On peut également prendre les mesures 9 représentées à la figure 4 nécessaires à l'établissement de chaussures sur mesure, le pied étant dans les mêmes conditions de contrainte vis-à-vis du sol que quand il est chaussé. Cette prise de mesures peut s'effectuer au moyen d'un mètre ruban et d'un crayon, ou de tous autres systèmes de relevés tridimensionnel.One can also take the
Cette manière de procéder est purement indicative. Elle sert simplement à une meilleure compréhension des principes de l'invention. Une fois la position des pieds définie, la position des barrettes 2 et des butées 5, 51 sont enregistrées, par des moyens électroniques, optiques, ou manuels, par exemple par relevé à la main du profil sur un papier au moyen d'un crayon, par mesure du déplacement des sommets des barrettes 2 par rapport à une surface de référence ou par tout autre système servant à repérer et â comparer deux positions entre elles.This way of proceeding is purely indicative. It merely serves to better understand the principles of the invention. Once the position of the feet has been defined, the position of the
Il est évident que l'on peut choisir une autre méthodologie en fonction des habitudes de chacun, de son savoir-faire et du but recherché.It is obvious that one can choose another methodology according to the habits of each one, of his know-how and the goal sought.
Préférablement, l'ensemble constituant la machine basée sur le dispositif de l'invention se compose de deux boîtiers 1 montés sur roulettes avec frein, orientables l'un par rapport à l'autre sur le plan horizontal afin de respecter l'angle naturel et l'écartement des pieds.Preferably, the assembly constituting the machine based on the device of the invention consists of two
Afin de réaliser une machine plus économique, plus petite et plus légère, on peut choisir d'avoir un seul boîtier 1 pour mesurer un pied à la fois, le deuxième pied reposant sur un support non réglable. Ce support peut être composé d'une simple caisse, par exemple.In order to make a machine more economical, smaller and lighter, one can choose to have a
L'intérieur des boîtiers 1 est garni de barrettes 2 qui se déplacent de manière linéaire sur un plan vertical. Ces barrettes 2 coulissent dans des rainures. La partie supérieure de ces barrettes 2 génère donc une surface sur laquelle vient s'appuyer le pied. La largeur des barrettes 2 est telle qu'elle corresponde à moins de 1/12 de la longueur du pied d'un enfant prêt à marcher, soit une barrette 2 d'environ 1 cm de large. De cette manière, la surface peut s'adapter à tous les types de pieds, quelle que soit leurs longueurs. Un système de moteurs 4, actionnant un système vis écrous permet le déplacement vertical des barrettes 2. Un système de butées 5, 51 mobiles (déplacement sur le plan sagittal, horizontal et/ ou vertical) permet d'immobiliser le pied ou de retrouver la position de celui-ci, s'il a fallu le déplacer pour insérer une semelle orthopédique dessous, par exemple. Le déplacement des barrettes 2, des butées 5, 51 et des boîtiers 1 l'un par rapport à l'autre est géré et mémorisé par un système informatique 13 pour une gestion plus simple et plus rapide des informations recueillies. Un tapis de mesures des pressions 6 positionné directement sous le pied ou sous la semelle orthopédique complète avantageusement le système. Un miroir et un rapporteur d'angle placés à l'arrière du pied peuvent améliorer le système, afin de contrôler plus facilement l'incidence de la cambrure sur l'axe vertical du calcanéum. Un système de numérisation tridimensionnel éventuellement piloté par le système informatique vient avantageusement compléter le système afin de récupérer l'intégralité des données sous forme numérique. Un siège, assise réglable en hauteur et en inclinaison, dossier réglable en hauteur et inclinaison, accoudoirs pour le confort accueille le patient pour une prise de mesures qui peut être en demi-charge assis ou en charge debout, suivant le choix de l'opérateur. La barre d'appui 21, genre déambulateur, située en avant de la machine, facilite l'équilibre et augmente la sécurité du patient. Une plate forme d'accès déplaçable en hauteur par vérin, moteur, etc. peut compléter l'installation.The inside of the
