Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hallux valgus sandal for prevention and for the treatment of malpositions in the middle and forefoot, in particular the malpositions of the big toe called hallux valgus.
  • Deformities in the middle and forefoot area in particular a pathological obliquity of the big toes, which is referred to as hallux valgus, has a variety of causes.
  • malformations are congenital or hereditary;
  • misalignments are caused by the wearing of false footwear or by the flattening of the longitudinal and transverse arch due to instability in the midfoot area, in particular by instability of the connective tissue.
  • the transverse arch which is also referred to as splayfoot, the individual metatarsal or toe bones are fanned out radially.
  • the metatarsal bone of the first ray i. H.
  • the tendons of the big toe which in contrast to the other toes has an independent tendon apparatus, no longer run centrally over the great toe joint, but due to their predefined length lateral, i.e. outside of it.
  • the big toe is thus pulled in an oblique, outward position.
  • the formation of a hallux valgus is also reinforced by the decrease in the longitudinal arch, as due to this predominantly medial sinking anatomically caused a rotation of the middle or forefoot seen from above to the outside.
  • a reference system centered on the center of the body is used in the description, as usual in anatomy. Accordingly defined inside or inside or medial always towards the body center or facing the other foot. In the medial direction means thus also in the direction of the other foot. With external or lateral in each case the side facing away from the body center is designated, so that the lateral direction of the body center and thus points away from the other foot.
  • a metatarsal bone and its associated toe bones are also referred to as jets.
  • the inner metatarsal bone and the inner toe bones arranged in front of it are regarded as the first ray.
  • the individual rays are numbered ascending in the lateral direction so that the outer metatarsal bone and the associated toe bones arranged in front of it form the fifth ray.
  • Various sandals for correcting and / or preventing hallux valgus disorders are known in the prior art.
  • a sandal known which is preferably designed as a flip-flop pole.
  • the flip-flop sandal has a shoe sole and a big toe receiving compartment for separately receiving the big toe separately from the other toes.
  • the known sandal comprises a metatarsal bandage for supporting the metatarsus, which has lateral foot sole support sections, which are drawn from the side flanks of the upper shoe to the middle of the sole inwardly.
  • the metatarsal bandage is centered on the shoe sole via a centering device.
  • the midfoot area is applied substantially uniformly with pressure when worn from all sides, so that also the metatarsal bones are compressed undefined.
  • the alignment of the midfoot area in relation to the shoe sole and the big toe, especially when lifting the lateral plantar edges is not clearly defined.
  • the longitudinal axis of the foot may be displaced or rotated relative to the longitudinal axis of the sandal.
  • a sandal for treating anatomical misalignments or misalignments while walking.
  • the sandal comprises an annular tongue for receiving the big toe, which is connected to a shoe insole.
  • the sandal comprises an upper shoe which encloses a part of the foot.
  • the upper shoe has a fixed element which is attached to the inside of the upper shoe.
  • the upper shoe also has an adjusting element, by means of which a force can be applied to the fixed element acting as a lever.
  • the object of the present invention with respect to this prior art is to provide a sandal in which the metatarsal region is and remains perfectly aligned with the toe bone of the first jet during the running motion and in the one defined correction force for the prevention and / or treatment of misalignments is gently introduced into the foot.
  • a midfoot belt when worn with the sandal, circumscribes the foot medial bone of the wearer of the sandal together with the soles of the foot.
  • the midfoot strap is adjustable in its length.
  • a pressure pad is arranged in the region of the midfoot in such a way that a laterally directed force can be exerted on the inner metatarsal bone by applying the middle foot belt over the pressure pad.
  • the pressure pad is arranged in particular on the inside of the Mittelfußgurtes in the medial area of the sandal. Thus, when the sandal is worn, the pressure pad is located between the midfoot girdle and the metatarsal bone of the first jet.
  • the sandal according to the invention is subdivided essentially into three areas in the longitudinal direction.
  • the division into the areas is based on the foot of the wearer of the sandal. For an approximate indication of the ranges, however, it is only possible to resort to averaged values for the respective length of the range on the basis of a standard foot for the respective foot length or shoe size.
  • At the back are the tarsal bones, which define the tarsal or hindfoot area of the sandal or sole element.
  • the tarsal area includes in the heel area beginning of the heel bone and laterally slightly forward followed by the talus. In the direction of the toe in front of it are the cuboid bone and the navicular bone.
  • the metatarsal bones which are also referred to as osseous metatarsals, follow longitudinally in front of the tarsal bones and define the metatarsus or metatarsus.
  • the medial metatarsal bones tend to be slightly anterior to the tip of the toe, compared to the lateral metatarsals.
  • the boundaries of the metatarsal area shift from the inside of the foot to the outside of the foot to the rear in the longitudinal direction of the foot.
  • the toe or forefoot region is defined, which is defined by the two toe bones of the big toe and the three toe bones of the second, third, fourth and small toe, respectively. These three areas correspond approximately to one third of the total foot length.
  • the pressure pad has an action length which is aligned essentially in the longitudinal direction of the foot. In the applied state, an effective surface of the pressure pad is brought into contact with the foot via this length of action.
  • the length of the midfoot belt is preferably changed or shortened. As a rule, the length is shortened until the shoe, in particular the midfoot belt and the footbed, lies substantially against the midfoot, encloses the latter and the desired correction force is achieved.
  • the action length of the pressure pad preferably corresponds to the midfoot area of the sandal, so that the pressure pad over the entire length of the metatarsal bone abuts this.
  • a correction force in the lateral direction is applied to the metatarsal bone in its entire length. It is usually important to ensure that the correction force is not exerted directly on bone, especially on the bones of the great toe joint, but the force is initiated indirectly through the soft parts of the first metatarsal bone. This prevents pressure complaints and damage to the tissue.
  • the correction force in the front region of the pressure pad engages in particular behind the metatarsophalangeal joint on the soft tissue medial to the metatarsal bone and extends backwards over the entire length of the seekingstoffknochens.

  • the thickness of the pressure pad ie its extension from the midfoot belt in the direction of the foot, can vary depending on the application, therapy or the like.
  • the pressure pad may be attached to the midfoot belt and / or sole member so that its location and orientation are clearly defined. Due to the design of the three-dimensional shape of the pressure pad, the pressure introduction and pressure distribution on the medial metatarsal bone is adjustable and changeable.
  • the pressure pad is preferably integrated in flowing forms in the Mittelfußgurt, without causing a sharp edge.
  • the pressure pad preferably has a greater thickness in the front region than in the rear region.
  • Its shape may be wedge-shaped, convex or the like.
  • the pressure pad may for example be convex and adapted to the arch of the foot. Abrupt changes in shape and pressure force jumps derived from this are to be avoided.
  • the various regions of the pressure pad should accordingly form a contour with flowing transitions, so that the pressure force changes take place continuously, in particular at the ends of the pressure pad.
  • the width of the Mittelfußgurtes is preferably decreasing from the inside out.
  • the Mittelfußgurt in the area of the pressure pad on its maximum width. This improves the pressure introduction into the pressure pad.
  • the Mittelfußgurt becomes narrower. This can also go into a raised sole edge of the sandal.
  • a correspondingly raised sole edge can also be formed in the area of the pressure pad on the inner side of the sandal.
  • the sandal has a trapezoidal or triangular recess in the midfoot belt.
  • the recess preferably has the greatest extent on the inside, following the pressure pad, and narrows towards the outside. Sharp edged corners are to be avoided in the midfoot girth and recess to reduce load peaks caused by forces on the midfoot girdle.
  • the metatarsal area extends obliquely backwards from inside to outside as viewed from above.
  • the center of the midfootbelt is substantially parallel to the boundaries of the midfoot region. Accordingly, the center also extends from the inside of the foot to the foot outside to the rear.
  • the center between the front and rear end of the belt is regarded as the middle of the middle foot belt on which the middle connection points of the midfoot belt are located, so that the center approximately corresponds to the center of gravity line in the longitudinal direction of the midfoot belt. Due to the oblique course of the middle of the midfoot belt, the middle connection point on the inside of the sandal is offset further forward than the middle connection point on the outside of the sandal.
  • the midfoot belt is preferably changeable by a Velcro in its length. By shortening the length of the Mittelfußgurts this is tensioned so that in the Mittelfußgurt a tensile force in the applied state of the sandal is initiated. This correction force is deliberately introduced via the midfoot belt and the pressure pad onto the metatarsal bone of the first jet.
