Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a new typology of shoe sole including an innovative geometry of the structures of loading and discharge to ground.
  • the present invention concerns a device that is to be used as support of the foot in such a way to discharge the loads onto precise points of the same foot and allows to centre physiologically the wave returning from the ground in such a way to enable a correct functioning of the foot and a physiologically correct walking.
  • a third type of problem, which some typologies of shoes or plantar try to solve, is that of the correct postural adaptation and the best dynamics of the walking or running.
  • the plant arch is remarkably relevant and has an indispensable damping role in order to enable the walk in a physiological way.
  • the alteration of the plantar arch from the biomechanical and sensorial point of view modifies the foot hold to ground, modifying the static and dynamic trim.
  • the plantar arch is a complex architecture associating osteoarticular, ligamental and muscular elements of the foot.
  • it can be defined as an arches system, held on the ground on three points that are disposed at the vertices of a ABC triangle.
  • A corresponds to the head of the 1st metatarsus
  • B to the head of the 5th metatarsus
  • C to the back tuberosity of the heel.
  • Each support point is common to two contiguous arches.
  • Between A and B the front arch is drawn, between B and C the external arch and between A and C the internal arch. The latter is the longest and highest and is the most important for the maintaining of the static and dynamic posture.
  • the weight of the body transmitted to the lower limb applies on the back tarsus at the level of the astragalic pulley, from here the forces distribute in three directions, towards the support points of the arch. In the standing position, the heels support the main stress because the half of the body weight is transferred to them.
  • the loads on the three points ABC are subdivided in the measure of 2/6 on A, 1/6 on B and 3/6 on C.
  • the present remark is of particular importance to the end of the disposition, under the plantar arch, of the stability control devices, the constraining reaction and the absorption of the shock to ground.
  • the walk is characterised by a continuous adaptation of width and speed of the body segments, which adapt to the surroundings.
  • the walk can be seen as the continuous search for equilibrium in order to maintain the gravity centre within the ground support polygon formed by feet.
  • the deambulation of man is a movement comprised between the two calcaneal holds of the same foot and is constituted by a stance phase and a swing phase.
  • the step is subdivided in two phases and the stance and swing phases play a very specific role.
  • the foot behaves as a helix in such a way that the projection to ground of the body mass centre remains mainly centred, i.e. it passes along its own axis, which corresponds roughly to the podalic axis, i.e. the one passing centrally to the backfoot and at the centre between second and third toe.
  • Backfoot and forefoot dispose on planes that intersect in a variable way.
  • the backfoot is disposed vertically and the forefoot horizontally (on a surface of horizontal hold).
  • distortion between backfoot and forefoot mitigates in the relaxing (the foot becomes a platform that can be modeled) and intensifies in the stiffening (the foot becomes a lever).
  • the winding of the helix with the ensuing intensification of the apparent arch-like disposition corresponds to its stiffening.
  • the unfolding of the helix, with ensuing attenuation of the apparent arch, is the loosening.
  • the antigravity mechanism starts by the rotation on the transverse plane, the antigravity mechanism allowing migration of the mass centre upwards.
  • the articulations wherein the movement is done on the transverse plane are, with closed kinetic chain, the coxofemoral and the sub-talar ones.
  • coxofemoral articulation and the talus-navicular articulations are structured analogically and are disposed in a corresponding way.
  • the foot is not simply an arches system, rather it is a very complex sensory-motor helicoid system (Paparella Treccia, 1978). Therefore, it is possible to suppose that the muscle-articular health of the human body is conditioned, in an important way, by a correct plantar hold and a suitable redistribution of the constraining reaction forces between the foot and the ground.
  • a dynamic device for the support of the foot the foot presenting a heel, a phalanx of the second toe and a phalanx of the third toe, and a fifth metatarsus as well as a longitudinal axis passing through the heel and between the phalanxes of the second and third toe, the device comprising a plurality of discharge elastic means for the discharge of the weight that are fixed in such a way to correspond to zones falling within a plurality of foot areas, the device being characterised by the fact that said foot areas are solely:
  • said discharge elastic means comprise one or more springs.
  • the elastic means in correspondence of the heel comprise two springs, whilst the elastic means in correspondence of the other three foot areas comprise each only one spring.
  • the elastic means in correspondence of the heel and the area between the phalanxes of the second and third toe comprise each one or two springs, whilst the elastic means in correspondence of the two other areas of the foot comprise each only one spring.
  • said elastic means are made by memory-foam material.
  • the inventors have therefore exploited the physiologic knowledge and effected simulations and laboratory tests in order to reach a determination of these areas.
  • the result is a sole with at least four springs inserted in its anatomy, preferably five or six springs, for example realised with memory-foam material, with calibrated force and with spring function realised in such a way to control the distribution of the weight in the three-dimensions of the space (including the transversal one).
  • the inventors have found that more importance is to be given to the phalanxes of the second and third toe as front hold, transferring to the fifth metatarsus the stabiliser function in the static hold.
  • the springs to be put in correspondence of the points of areas 1, 2 shall have a dimension which is larger with respect of that of the other two, because the maximum load rests on the heel; this spring in the zone between the phalanxes of the second and third toe will have to be therefore able to balance the reaction force of the spring placed under the heel.
  • the lateral springs will have the function of stabilising the position of the foot and contributing to the control of the action and the reaction forces on the transversal plane.
  • point 4 is specular to the fifth metatarsus, serves to create three geometrical figures allowing to respect the dynamics of the above-mentioned helix.
  • the springs in the present invention do not have the object to improve the response of the soles for athletic aims, but to re-orient the sole underside the foot in relation to the ground.
  • the above-mentioned areas are the only possible areas, and further springs, placed for example in the central part of the foot sole, would nullify wholly or partly the technical effect achieved by the present invention.
  • first two isosceles triangles are individuated, a front one and a back one.
  • the front triangle in blue colour, is characterised by a base in common with the larger triangle, being a continuation of the latter, and has two oblique planes, smaller than those of the back triangle but having a similar function. Indeed, they provide for the control of the loads on the transversal plane in the zone of the forefoot were they are placed.
  • the second geometrical figure is intercepted by connecting the four points by a continuous curved line, defining an "8" whose centre coincides with the centre of the foot (plantar arch) i.e. with the tibio-talar articulation (centre of the ankle).
  • the object of the positioning of the springs according to the invention is that of re-directing the return wave from the ground to the centre of the ankle.
  • Each spring will have a different elastic force.
  • the intensity of the force and the proportions between the springs vary depending on the subject to be treated.
  • a spring is placed in each of the four points above individuated.
  • a structuring of the sole in such a way i.e. with springs suitable to direct the reaction force from the ground to the shoe and to redistribute it in the hold points of the plantar arch that the literature identifies as such, executes the function of being able to balance as much as possible situation wherein, for different reasons, the plantar holds changed, creating situations for which the muscles and articulations (both of the foot and the remaining soma, see above) work incorrectly and/or with excessive working loads.
  • the position of the springs as above illustrated describes a 8 whose cross point corresponds to the centre of the plantar arch, i.e., to the tibial-talar articulation, as shown in figure 5 .
  • Figure 6 shows the result of a simulation wherein at the centre of the plantar arch a resulting force is produced thanks to the action of the springs. If one shifts the application points of the above springs, the resultant varies a lot and it is no more applied at the centre of the plantar arch.
  • the presence of an elastic element between the phalanxes of the second and third toe favour the extension of the plantar arch through the proprioceptive and exteroceptive property of the foot sole.
  • the latter are stimulated continuously depending on the creation of the above described suspended system and the continuous stimulation under the foot sole, amongst other things, may allow the releasing of endogenous substances that are useful to the bony metabolism.
  • the position of the elastic elements is similar but not equal to the other patent documents and in particular to the above-mentioned US2005/022424 , US2863231 , US2013/031804 and US5438768 .
  • the elastic element positioned between the phalanxes of the second and third toe and not at the level of the metatarsuses (cf. Figures 2 and 4 ) is decisive to reach the three above-mentioned goals:
  • the position of the element between the second and third metatarsus is at the level of the bodies of the metatarsal bones (therefore much more back of both the metatarsal heads and the zone wherein the present invention places the reference point, i.e. between the phalanxes of the second and third toe).
