Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an orthopaedic heel for shoe and respective orthopaedic footwear.
  • the orthopaedic footwear used in the field of rehabilitation upon forefoot surgery provide for the requirement of using a sole that, in cooperation with the heel, allows the foot to be tilted by about 8° with respect to the ground while the user walks, such that the weight acting on the foot is directly unloaded on the rear portion thereof, i.e. on the heel.
  • the user has to buy and use footwear with the afore described characteristics just for the rehabilitation duration, i.e. for about two/three weeks only.
  • the footwear is therefore made and is like a single body, with the heel not removably combined with the sole of the footwear provided, in turn, with sole and upper. This is economically detrimental for the user since once that period is expired, he/she cannot use that particular rehabilitative footwear any more, unless in case of a possible and undesired relapse with subsequent new forefoot surgery.
  • the upper surface of the heel is at least partially tilted by an angle between 6 and 10°, preferably 8°.
  • the outer surface of said sole is substantially planar, i.e. flat, at least at the rear portion of said shoe at which said heel is combined.
  • the shoe can be used as being normal footwear, i.e. a non-orthopaedic shoe since the outer lower surface of the sole is substantially planar, or flat, thus having a substantially horizontal surface.
  • said reversibly constraining means further comprise one or more through-holes and one or more self-tapping screws, the latter being combinable with said one or more holes and having such a length to be screwed to said sole of said shoe at least when said upper surface of said heel is combined with the outer lower surface of said sole of said shoe.
  • said one or more through holes comprise at least one countersunk end portion for accommodating the head of said one or more self-tapping screws. This allows the head of the self-tapping screws, also countersunk, to be housed inside the respective hole.
  • said reversibly constraining means comprise one or more locking rings arranged concentrically to said one or more holes, wherein said one or more locking rings are included inside said main body of said heel.
  • said main body is obtained by molding. This promotes the inclusion of such locking rings inside the heel, concentrically to the holes, such that the self-tapping screws can remain in place without the chance of unscrewing and the heel of detaching from the shoe.
  • such a solution allows a heel comprising such locking rings to be created, without any chance that these can be detached from the heel.
  • said main body of said heel comprises an upper edge protruding with respect to said upper surface of the main body such that said edge covers at least partially the end portion of the sole of said shoe that is at said upper protruding edge, i.e. at the user's foot heel, at least when said heel is reversibly combined with said shoe.
  • said holes and said self-tapping screws are three and are arranged at 120° from one another.
  • the invention also relates to an orthopaedic footwear including a shoe provided with rubber sole having an outer lower surface, and an orthopaedic heel according to the independent claim 1, wherein said sole and said heel are shaped such that the user's foot is tilted with respect to the ground by a predetermined angle. Still according to such a solution, the thickness of said sole of said shoe is greater than 15 mm, and preferably, greater than 20 mm.
  • an orthopaedic heel according to the invention has been denoted by numeral 1.
  • the orthopaedic footwear 200 comprises a shoe 100 provided with a rubber sole 101 having an outer lower surface 101a and an upper 102, and an orthopaedic heel 1.
  • the sole 101 and the heel 1 are shaped such that the user's foot is tilted with respect to the ground by a predetermined angle ⁇ preferably of 8°, however between 6 and 10°. This way the user, when standing up, will unload his own weight on the heel and not on the forefoot that, on the contrary, will be raised from the ground and never contacting the ground.
  • the orthopaedic heel 1 for such a shoe 100 comprises a rubber main body 2 provided with a lower surface 2a contacting the ground and an upper surface 2b combinable with the sole 101 of the shoe 100 at the outer lower surface 101a of the sole 101 itself and, in particular, at the rear portion 101b of the sole 101, above which the user's heel rests.
  • the heel 1 comprises in turn means 3 for reversibly constraining the orthopaedic heel 1 to the shoe 100.
  • the upper surface 2b is, at least partially, tilted with respect to the lower contacting surface 2a of the heel 1 by an angle ⁇ equal to the afore mentioned predetermined angle ⁇ .
  • the shoe 200 once separated from the heel 1, will be normal footwear, i.e. daily usable without performing any type of orthopaedic function since the lower surface 101a of the sole 101 is substantially planar.
  • the upper surface 2b of the main body 2 comprises a front portion 25 tilted with respect to the lower contacting surface 2a of the heel by an angle ⁇ equal to the afore mentioned predetermined angle ⁇ .
  • the upper surface 2b further comprises a rear portion 26 that is designed such to perfectly accommodate the ending curvature 105 of the rear portion 101b of the sole 101 of the shoe 100.
  • said reversibly constraining means 3 further comprise three through-holes 31 and three self-tapping screws 32 combinable with the through-holes 31 and having such a length to be screwed to the rubber sole 101 of the shoe 100 at least when the upper surface 2b of the heel 1 is combined with the outer lower surface 101a of the sole 101 of the shoe 100, at its rear portion 101b.
  • the through-holes 31 and the self-tapping screws 32 are arranged at 120° from one another, i.e.
  • two holes 31 out of three are arranged such that two holes 31 out of three are positioned aligned along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the heel 1, symmetrically to the latter, in a position more inside the body 2 of the heel 1, and one through-hole 31 in a position more outside of the body 2 of the heel 1, with center along said longitudinal axis of the heel 1.
  • the through-holes 31 comprise an end portion 31a countersunk in order to accommodate the head of the respective self-tapping screw 32 with which the holes are coupled.
  • the reversibly constraining means 3 further comprise three locking rings 33 arranged each concentrically to the respective through-hole 31.
  • each locking ring 33 is included within the main body 2 such that the rings can not be pulled out of the main body 2.
  • the main body 2 is advantageously obtained by molding. Such a manufacturing process therefore allows the locking rings 33 also to be included in the body 2 of the heel 1.
  • the main body 2 comprises an upper edge 21 protruding with respect to the upper surface 2b at least for a perimetrical part of the main body 2 such that, at least when said heel 1 is reversibly combined with the shoe 100, at the rear portion 101b of the sole 101, the upper protruding edge 21 can cover at least partially the portion of the sole 101 of the shoe 100 that is at the upper protruding edge 21.
  • the protruding edge 21 runs along three sides of the main body 2 of the heel 1, so as to cover the sole 101 at its rear part 101b, for the whole ending curvature 105 thereof and for part of the two sides 105a of the sole 101 that are at the user's heel, when the orthopaedic footwear 200 is worn and thus the heel 1 is combined with the shoe 100.
  • the thickness of the sole 101 of the shoe 100 is greater than 20 mm such that the self-tapping screw can penetrate into the sole 101 of the shoe 100 still remaining tight thereto.
  • such a thickness of the sole 101 is however always greater that 15 mm, without thereby departing from the protection scope of the present invention.
