Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally relates to a foot balance device that adjusts force distribution on human foot and is particularly applicable to leather shoes, sports shoes, loafers, high-heal shoes, and the likes.
- The economic development and progress makes the opportunity of taking physical activity remarkably reduced in the modem living and the consequence is insufficiency of physiological loading for modem people. This leads to the emergence of disease of civilization, including metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and deterioration of cardiopulmonary function.
- In addition to the diseases of civilization, chronic pains are also very common in the modem society The general causes for the chronic pains are basically improper motions and gestures that make bones and muscles losing balance. In view of creature evolution, in the evolution course of human beings, humans changed from an animal walking with four legs to an animal walking with two legs. To maintain balance for standing with two legs and walking in an upright posture with the two legs, bones and muscles are forced to coordinate with each other to induce an effect of compensation, so that the human body does not get falling in an upright posture in standing with two legs and also can move forward in the upright, two leg standing posture.
- Such a compensation effect is an interaction induced between bones and muscles and such an interaction between bones and muscles may easily lead to improper motions and gestures when humans are standing and walking. Such improper motions and gestures may make bones and muscles losing balance and as a consequence, the chronic pans discussed above, as well as other sours and pains, may occur.
- The chronic pains and other sours and pains are generally brought by the general effect of compensation of human body and techniques of the related medical field or science may not be possible to solve these problems. In other words, the current medical or scientific techniques and knowledge cannot provide a simple and effective solution to constantly maintain the bones and muscles of human body in a balanced condition in the every living and is also incapable of avoidance of sours and chronic pains that were mentioned above caused by improper motion and gestures.
- When a human body is standing or walking, the perfect condition is that the force that the heel and the sole take is uniformly distributed and the support to the total body weight is substantially at a center of the sole, as shown in
FIG 1 , whereby the bone and muscle systems may be kept at a neutral and balanced position when a person is standing or walking. However, under a natural condition, the sole is subjected to influence of the design of shoes. When the heel unduly applies a force, the heal may be hurt and the shoe heal get damaged. On the other hand, when an undue force is applied by the sole, a rush may occur in walking forward, or as shown inFIG 2 , pigeon toeing may occur in walking, where the body weight is not uniformly distributed, making one of heel, sole, or heel and either an inside portion or an outside portion of sole bearing a great pressure. This is adverse to body balance and may change the way of standing or walking to cause improper motion and gesture. - To resolve the above discussed problems, a conventional solution that a podiatrist or a shoe manufacturer may take is to add a post in the shoe, or place an elastic material in a cavity formed in the shoe heel, or adopt a design of heel cup. However, such solutions may sometimes cause an increase of force applied to the heel or sole, making it impossible to resolve the problems. This is because that those know solutions including post, elastic material, and heel cup, although changing the improper gesture caused by non-uniform distribution of force on the heel and sole, cannot be effectively decrease the pressure acting on the heel and sole.
- In view of these problems, the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional solution for adjusting pressure acting on foot by providing a foot balance device of which a detailed description of a preferred embodiment will be given as follows.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a foot balance device that makes force applied to the heel and sole of a foot distributed uniformly
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide a foot balance device that is readily combinable with various types of shoes.
- A further objective of the present invention is to provide a foot balance device that helps protecting a foot from being hurt and improving the sense of comfortableness.
- To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a foot balance device that comprises at least one adjustment element arranged at a position between a front sole and a rear heel. The adjustment element comprises a support point having a bottom surface that is provided with a coupling section. The coupling section functions to couple to a corresponding position in a shoe or on a shoe pad. As such, the distribution of force between the heel and the sole is changed to realize proper distribution of body weight on the foot and make force uniformly acting along a circumference of the adjustment element to thereby protect the foot from being hurt and improve the sense of comfortableness.
- To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a foot balance device, comprising: a shoe pad and at least one adjustment element. The adjustment element forms a support point having a bottom surface that is provided with a coupling section. The coupling section is coupleable to a top surface of the shoe pad between a front sole and a rear heel, whereby force is made uniformly acting along a circumference of the adjustment element to protect the foot from being hurt and improve the sense of comfortableness.
- To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a foot balance device, comprising: a shoe pad and at least one adjustment element. The adjustment element forms a support point having a bottom surface that is provided with a coupling section. The coupling section is coupleable to a bottom surface of the shoe pad between a front sole and a rear heel, whereby force is made uniformly acting along a circumference of the adjustment element to protect the foot from being hurt and improve the sense of comfortableness.
- In the foot balance device described above, the at least one adjustment element is of a shape of one of a circle, an ellipse, and a rectangle.
- In the foot balance device described above, the at least one adjustment element is of one of a raised surface, a circular-curved surface, a semi-circular-curved surface, and an irregular surface.

- (1) With the use of the adjustment element, the force applied to a foot is effectively made uniform, so that a user may stand or walk under an ideal condition.
- (2) Through arrangement and adjustment of the adjustment element, the balance between bones and muscles of a user can be improved to avoid the occurrence of chronic pains and various other sours and pains.
- (3) The adjustment element can be used with various styles and models of shoes without any limitation and is thus of excellent market competition power.
- The foregoing objectives and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.
