Definitions

  • This invention is aimed at providing new footwear for children that helps to prevent the appearance of certain pathologies. Specifically, it develops a system to correct foot movement in children with a slight tendency to develop pes valgus, without changing the gait of children without this pathology. However, it also aims to provide this new footwear with suitable characteristics, according to the functional needs and comfort of children when walking. Removable insoles and cups in order to give more stability and comfort to the foot are generally known, see for instance US-A-2007/33834 .
  • footwear worn by children at each of these stages of development can have a critical effect on its development.
  • footwear should protect against aggression from the environment in which a child develops, safeguarding their physical and motor development.
  • it should provide thermal and mechanical comfort, while ensuring that it performs its function without causing lesions or damage, promoting normal growth and development.
  • Footwear should also allow the child to feel the ground, so as to promote sensory stimulation, proper development of the nervous system and improved balance.
  • the foot At birth and around the age of one year, the foot is mostly comprised of cartilage, and vulnerable to any external aggression. As a result, when the child starts to take his or her first steps, it is very important to prevent excessive weight, and to help the foot by using suitable footwear that controls the position of the heel, without restricting the toes too much.
  • This invention is not designed for use with the user's footwear. Instead, it uses specially adapted footwear for the correction of pes valgus.
  • the internal system cannot move about within the footwear, thereby preventing unwanted internal postures and deformities that could have a negative effect on the foot. It remains perfectly in place and adapted to the shape of the foot, without squashing it. It also adapts to the movements of the foot, providing a stable gait with no need to exert unnecessary pressure.
  • Another of the fundamental characteristics of the invention consists of adapting the last of the shoe, ensuring that it fits the shape of the foot perfectly, preventing looseness in the heel area that could lead to instability, while nevertheless allowing the toes to move freely.
  • the footwear we suggest to improve the stability of pes valgus and healthy feet in children consists of a system to correct the movement of the feet in children with a slight tendency to walk with their heel facing outwards, also known as pes valgus, ensuring the characteristics and functional needs to provide comfort for children when walking. It is important to stress that the footwear is designed to have an effect on subjects with only a slight tendency towards pes valgus, but who clearly present with the pathology. It can be used in healthy subjects, without having any negative effect on them. However, if used in subjects with marked pes valgus, while it will improve their gait, there is no proof that it will cure the pathology.
  • the gait pattern i.e. we needed to determine the scientific basis required to establish the needs of the infant population in terms of footwear to correct the gait pattern in children with a tendency to develop pes valgus in healthy feet.
  • the gait pattern of 35 children aged between 2.5 and 11 years was analysed.
  • the criterion used to choose the subjects was to cover the age range of the different stages of maturity of gait (1-4, 4-7 and 7-11 years), and to use both healthy subjects and subjects with pes valgus.
  • Two types of assessment were carried out: firstly, as with the test using shoes, the children were asked to walk straight through an area designed for the purpose, and the plantar pressure between foot and floor was measured, with three repetitions per child. The children were then asked to stand with their feet still on a platform, to register the pressure in the standing position.
  • Stage 1 After dividing the data into the three stages and assessing the results, we came to the following conclusions: In Stage 1, at 2.5 to 5 years, it was almost impossible, from a biomechanical viewpoint, to distinguish between healthy children and those with pes valgus, based on the data obtained from tests using footwear. However, at Stage 2, between the ages of 6 and 11 years, clear differences were seen between healthy children and those with pes valgus. These differences are apparent from a comparison between the average maximum pressure produced when walking and the standard distribution of plantar pressure. There are different maximum values in the group of valgus children for the forefoot and the hindfoot.
  • the geometric shape of the surface of footwear that comes into contact with the sole of the child's foot is therefore defined, in order to correct the gait pattern.
  • a geometric shape was formed for the sole, footwear and insole, in the form of a channel aimed at guiding the child's footstep, facilitating the correct distribution of dynamic pressures, but not impacting negatively on its development.
  • This geometric shape counteracts the typical rolling of the foot with pes valgus onto the inside of the heel, guiding it so as to achieve uniform support for the heel area, as seen in healthy children.
  • the shape is also designed so as not to interfere with the development of the gait pattern in healthy children, since they develop a different footfall that is already in line with the geometrically established pathway, therefore not affecting them.
  • the proposed invention is based on achieving the shape of the footwear from the design for the sole (3) and the footbed (6), with a geometric design in the upper part that houses an insole (4) with the shape of the base.
  • the sole (3) and the footbed (6) are high density, while the insole (4) is low density, in order to permit the geometric effect.
  • a cup (1) is created in the heel area, designed to redirect the foot when pressure is applied, inducing correct posture.
  • This cup (1) consists of a hard part in the form of a channel, integrated in the footwear between the footbed (6) and the insole (4) on the back part of the sole (3).
  • An insole (4) is placed over the cup (1).
  • the insole is removable, and made of material that is sufficiently mouldable to allow the placement of the cup (1) to have the desired effect.
  • the insole (4) has an upper geometric shape that houses the foot anatomically and a lower shape that fits into the cup (1). Thus, if we remove the insole (4) from the footwear, the cup (1) it is resting on can be seen.
  • the last (5) needs to adjust properly to the shape of the foot. It was specially designed to take into account the anthropometric shape of an average foot. Any looseness in the heel area could cause increased instability.
  • the cleavage line between the instep and the heel is designed to close the footwear and adjust the last (5), similar to the cleavage line that follows the tip of the metatarsals. Therefore the design must be adhered to in these areas, to ensure proper adjustment. There must however be room in the toe area, to allow them to move. This permits slight alterations to the last (5) proposed, according, for example, to aesthetic considerations, provided that such alterations do not affect the system.
  • the footbed (6) is composed of two parts, the cardboard footbed (7), used during the construction of the footwear serves as a base for the insole (4), with a flat and flexible shape to adapt to the last (5) and the cup (1). There is also a cup (1), situated at the rear of the heel of the insole (4), shaped into a rigid material to channel the footstep.
  • the sole (3) needs to fit the basic needs of the user and the specific requirements of the system's innovative design.
  • the material should be slightly abrasive, principally in the heel area, with a view to ensuring that its shape does not change with continuous use.
  • the sole (3) should also facilitate the path of the child's centre of mass along the track of the sole defined from studies of healthy children, so that it stabilises the child's footstep. To achieve this, we either create a double density sole in which the central track has a lower density than the rest of the sole, or the thickness of that area is reduced to facilitate distortion, thus stabilising the footstep.
  • the shape of the cut should generally adhere to the shape of the last (5).
  • the height of the cut should be at least 46 mm from the base of the insole (4) to the leg at the lowest part of the cut.
