Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an orthopedic footwear element, or more particularly to a sock, a stocking or a tights incorporating one or more corrective orthopedic elements.
  • custom orthotics also called orthopedic insoles.
  • orthopedic devices comprising one or more corrective orthopedic elements fixed on a sole and protected by a covering. They are designed to compensate, straighten, elevate, lower or deflect one or more parts of a foot. To be used, these orthopedic devices are introduced into a shoe, which can be adapted for this purpose by being made to measure.
  • An orthopedic element is an addition of material, usually attached to a sole and fashioned in series or unit in a technical polymer.
  • This technical polymer may be thermoformable or not, flexible or rigid. It may be for example a thermoplastic ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a polyethylene foam (PE), a polyurethane foam (PU), a PE-EVA foam, rubber, silicone gel.
  • EVA thermoplastic ethylene-vinyl acetate
  • PE polyethylene foam
  • PU polyurethane foam
  • PE-EVA foam rubber, silicone gel.
  • orthotics can only be placed in closed shoes at the back.
  • orthotics can not always be placed in several pairs of shoes. This implies either to always wear the same pair of shoes, or to make as many orthotics as pairs of shoes to be worn.
  • foot orthotics are exclusively distributed by health professionals, such as podo-orthotists, chiropodists and pharmacists, which does not allow their self-service distribution.
  • foot orthotics generally include leather elements and can not generally be washed, at least not in an easy and effective manner, which may involve hygiene problems or regular replacement thereof.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by proposing a new inexpensive orthopedic device that can adapt to any shoe and is easily washable, while having the same recognized effectiveness of current foot orthotics.
  • the footwear element is a foot cover, a sock, a sock, a stocking or a tights.
  • the footwear element is made of an extensible textile material obtained by the addition of elastic fibers and / or by the shape of the weave.
  • At least one orthopedic element is made of technical polymer, thermoformable or not, flexible or rigid.
  • At least one orthopedic element is a retrocapital support, a retrocapital bar, a vault internal, a posterior supinator, a pronator band, a damping heel, a Schwartz ring, a sub-diaphyseal or a lobster claw.
  • At least one orthopedic element is located in the lower part of the footwear element.
  • At least one orthopedic element is associated with the footwear removably.
  • At least one orthopedic element is attached to the footwear element by gluing, sewing, welding, riveting, screwing or clipping.
  • At least one orthopedic element is housed in an envelope formed in the footwear element.
  • the envelope is formed by the addition of a piece of textile material or by using a double-walled footwear element and in that the envelope is at least partly sewn or secured to the footwear element by any other means.
  • the envelope is closed by snaps, by adhesive strips, by self-gripping strips or by a zipper.
  • the general idea of the invention is to combine the advantages of the orthopedic elements of a plantar orthosis with the advantages of a technical sock or the like.
  • the orthopedic footwear element according to the invention can be worn with any type of shoe because it does not reduce the footwear volume of a shoe, and it allows the user to freely change shoes and use the footwear element. orthopedic in shoes of different sizes.
  • the cost of the orthopedic footwear element according to the invention is very much lower than the current plantar orthotic for the same efficiency.
  • the textile footwear elements being usually flexible and at least slightly extensible, the position of the orthopedic elements of an orthopedic footwear element according to the invention may be slightly modified, which makes it possible to provide an orthopedic device with orthopedic elements adjustable in position.
  • the orthopedic footwear element according to the invention therefore makes it possible to adapt to different morphologies of feet, in length and in width, and this for each size. It is thus possible to limit the number of variations of the orthopedic footwear element according to the invention.
  • orthopedic elements can be secured anywhere on or in a footwear element, and not only at the sole of the latter.
  • the orthopedic elements can also be positioned in places that can not be reached with an orthopedic insole, such as for example at the malleolus, the ankle, or even on the top of the foot. which opens up perspectives for new types of orthopedic elements and new applications for them.
  • the orthopedic footwear element according to the invention can be washed easily and efficiently, it can even be designed to be machine washed.
  • the orthopedic footwear element according to the invention has the advantages usually encountered with socks and similar textile footwear elements.
  • the orthopedic footwear element according to the invention allows the foot to breathe and sweat, while keeping it warm and preserving the hygiene of the shoe, and protecting the feet from friction with the inside of the shoe .
  • the orthopedic footwear element according to the invention can also present the aesthetics and all the comfort usually offered by a classic sock.
  • the orthopedic footwear element (1) of the invention comprises a footwear element (2) made of textile designed to be threaded on a foot (3) to envelop at least the plantar arch.
  • This is for example a foot protection (4), a sock (5), a sock (6), a stocking (7), a tights (8) or any other similar classical textile envelope.
  • This footwear element (2) is preferably of the conventional type of those that can be purchased in self-service stores clothing department.
  • the footwear element (2) is preferably made of cotton or another natural fiber, but can be made from any other textile material usually used for the type of footwear mentioned above.
  • the footwear element (2) is preferably made of extensible textile material, for example obtained by the addition of elastic fibers and / or by the shape of the weave.
  • the footwear element (2) may for example be made of cotton, Scottish thread, wool, polyamide, polyester fibers, elastic fibers, nylon, bamboo fibers, elastane or any what combination of these.
  • This footwear element (2) comprises a lower part (9) in contact with the arch, and a peripheral edge (10) around the foot (3), a top portion (11) covering at least partially the above the foot (3), depending on its size, this footwear element (2) may also include a rising portion (12) that can cover the foot (3) at the ankle and extend upward, for example up to hips in the case of a tights.
  • the orthopedic footwear element (1) of the invention also comprises at least one orthopedic element (13), similar to the corrective orthopedic elements used in plantar orthoses.
  • An orthopedic footwear element (1) of the invention preferably comprises from one to five orthopedic elements (13).
  • the orthopedic elements (13) of the invention are relief elements preferably made of technical polymer, thermoformable or not, flexible or rigid.
  • This technical polymer may be an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) type thermoplastic, a polyethylene (PE) foam, a polyurethane (PU) foam, a PE-EVA foam, a rubber, a silicone gel, or any similar polymer.
  • It can be any type of known orthopedic element, for example a retrocapital support, a retrocapital bar, an inner arch, a posterior supinator corner, a pronator band, a shock absorbing heel, a Schwartz ring, a sub-diaphyseal, lobster claw, etc.
  • the orthopedic elements (13) of the invention are associated with the footwear element (2), for example so as to discharge the bad supports and to support certain part of the foot (3) for medical or comfort purposes. They can also include damping elements.
  • They are preferably located in the lower part (9) of the footwear element (2).
  • the orthopedic elements (13) of the invention may also be located in other places of the footwear element (2), which is not possible with plantar orthotics.
  • orthopedic footwear element (1) any footwear element (2) of textile of one of the aforementioned types, which comprises at least one orthopedic element (13).
  • the orthopedic footwear element (1) is shown with a footwear element (2) in the form of a sock, which may be in any form, as shown for the orthopedic footwear elements (1) data as an example on Figures 15 to 20 .

  • This envelope formed in the footwear element (2) can be sewn, glued or otherwise closed. It can also be closed by snaps, by adhesive strips, by self-gripping strips - for example velvet-hook type, by a zipper, or by any other type of closure to open the envelope for removing the orthopedic element (13) housed therein and then closing it, for example after accommodating another orthopedic element (13).
  • Each orthopedic element (13) is preferably fixed to the footwear element (2) by gluing.
  • Bonding an orthopedic element (13) to the element footwear (2) goes against technical prejudices, because the skilled person tends to consider that it is not advantageous to stick the orthopedic element (13). It would indeed likely to come off because of the heat of the foot, its moisture or the forces exerted on the orthopedic element (13) during walking.
  • the fact of sticking the orthopedic element (13) is however advantageous because this makes it possible to ensure that it remains perfectly positioned on the footwear element (2), while the latter is likely to move and to be badly positioned in the orthopedic footwear elements in which the orthopedic element (13) is housed in a pocket provided in the footwear element (2).
  • the orthopedic footwear element (1) of the invention is washable, it is sufficient to provide a glue that is resistant to washing, and the user does not have to remove the orthopedic element (13) before washing, nor to the then put back in place, which avoids any risk of positioning error.
