Definitions

  • Dr. Ignacio Ponseti is an internationally famous physician and surgeon specializing in the treatment and management of a childhood deformity commonly know as a club foot. Dr. Ponseti has for many decades promoted the use of a foot and ankle abduction device, or orthosis, that is used to correct and prevent relapses of the club foot deformity.
  • These abduction devices typically consist of a rigid bar connected between shoes worn by the child which bar separates the feet of the child and holds the feet in an outward rotation or abduction.
  • this device is worn full-time for a period of months, but during the period of treatment, the angle of outward rotation is periodically adjusted.
  • the improved abduction apparatus system for correcting gait issues allows the user, typically a patient with a club foot, greater mobility while wearing the brace.
  • the at least two pivot points allow a greater range of movement in at least one of the horizontal and vertical planes.
  • a first embodiment consists of a metal or plastic bar with connection means on the far sides of the bar.
  • One coupling device is attached to each side of the metal bar and the coupling devices are pivotable in a vertical plane.
  • Each coupling device is then attached to either a left footplate or a right footplate.
  • the footplates are attached to the coupling device such that the angle of outward rotation may be periodically adjusted.
  • the selected angle of outward rotation may be maintained once the footplate is firmly secured to the coupling device.
  • the user of the foot abduction apparatus can lift up each foot in the vertical plane via the pivot point while maintaining the corrective angle of outward rotation.
  • the user may achieve horizontal movement by manipulating the device in a "waddling" motion.

  • the rigid bars are attached to the coupling devices such that they are selectively pivotable at the point of connection.
  • a user of the second embodiment attaches the shoes to the footplates. The user then manipulates the device by pushing one foot forward. The force causes the rigid bars to pivot allowing horizontal movement of the user's feet.

  • the two bars are substantially in parallel and contain a means for attachment at each end.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil amélioré d'abduction du pied permettant le mouvement dans un plan horizontal et vertical. Les modes de réalisation de l'invention permettent à l'utilisateur de manipuler l'appareil plus facilement dans un plan ou dans les deux plans grâce à l'utilisation de points de pivotement judicieusement placés. Le dispositif utilise au moins un élément rigide fixé à des dispositifs d'accouplement qui contiennent au moins un point de pivotement. Les dispositifs d'accouplement spécialisés peuvent être sélectivement fixés à un élément ou des plaques d'accueil de chaussure qui sont bien connus dans la technique. De plus, les éléments d'accueil de chaussure sont aptes à accueillir une chaussure améliorée contenant un élément de semelle présent dans une botte de silicone.
