Description

Orthopedic prosthesis, an antiequine aquatic dictus.

Technical sector

The present invention consists of an orthopedic prosthesis, the base of which is made in a diving boot, which has been implanted with an anti-equine dictus.

Resulting in a product with active and passive parts, which achieve the natural gesture of walking, in the disability of the "fallen foot". As it does? This article has the function of elevating the entire forefoot area, producing a plantar arch in the heel support, imminently after starting the walking action, avoiding any contingency of instability, slips, obstacles and frequent components that may occur in any medium aquatic and thus help normalize the march in this way.

State of the art

In other prostheses, such as anti-equine dictus, none has the quality of direct contact with any aquatic environment, because the entire range of products offered in orthopedic catalogs does not offer the peculiarity mentioned and this is what this invention consists of.

Before the only bathroom option, it was an anti-equine dictus hooked to one of my sneakers, the life cycle of the dictus was more than ephemeral, due to its non-resistance to chlorine or saltpeter, the price of said dictus is about 100 euros, apart from the nuisance and collateral damage to both my shoes and the dictus itself.

In addition to doing it barefoot was totally unfeasible: instability, falls, slips, trips, because the foot is literally dragging, "foot down", which carries an overexertion in the hip area, hence the nickname of antiequino, for the shape or figure described at the time of walking, which immediately gives rise to a significant fatigue, being much more relevant in the coxofemoral area.

It is exclusive for use in aquatic areas: beaches, coves, rivers, indoor and outdoor pools and allows it to be done safely, without stumbling blocks, instability and pain in the plantar area. The plantar surface is very sensitive and in beach areas where the bath may be more complicated, due to the terrestrial composition: inclination of the ground, stones, pebbles, shells, the very roughness of the soil, both inside and outside the water and The surf itself.

Other of its many features that it presents: it is discreet, easy to apply by applying soapy water, comfortable, resists salt and chlorine, due to its composition in neoprene and rubber, highlighting its easy drying, allows you to swim perfectly, for a very good foot support, It is even adaptable to diving fins, making a hole in the flap of the fin, at the height of the instep hook, which further expands the range of activities, whether aquatic or underwater, snorkeling, oxygen diving , not forgetting its use throughout the year in heated pools and even less of a pleasant walk along the seashore.

The large percentage of people who suffer from all types of flaccid paralysis, already affect the legs, foot, toes and especially the plantar area, which is the most notably affected. The muscles are also greatly weakened and the "fallen foot" disability occurs and the natural walking gesture is not allowed.

Within flaccid paralysis, these damage the intrinsic muscles of the foot and areas such as the anterior and posterior tibial, peroneal, common extensor of the toes, quadriceps are damaged. The pathologies are very numerous and even the age is totally indifferent and at any age you can suffer any of these ailments.

Not only is there an orthopedic footwear, aquatic dictus antiequino, which allows to solve all kinds of difficulties in terms of bathing and its enjoyment, but something even more relevant, the gain in quality of life, which is like an injection of moral, sensory and 200% emotional and would make me immensely happy if it could be extended to the immense family with disabilities, such as those mentioned above.

Detailed Description of the Invention

The present invention has the task of presenting a diving boot made of 3 mm neoprene and rubber, which has an anti-equine dictus attached, consisting of a passive part, such as a ring, located in the upper front part of the boot , and a hook type anchor, placed in the central part of the instep.

It also has an active part, part external to the dictus, which consists of an elastic webbing with adjustable velcro, which after passing through said eyelet, the webbing is anchored in the instep hook, to subsequently fix the adjustable velcro for greater or lesser flexion. of the foot and even help other types of ailments, all of them framed within flaccid paralysis.

Said velcro totally facilitates the traction of the device and thus in this way give solution to the disability of the "fallen foot", these are located in the supramaléolar zone, above the malleoli.

It has a zipper on the inside of the boot, which runs practically the total length of the boot and another adjustable velcro strap that gives greater support throughout the ankle-foot area.

Quite frankly, the manufacture of this anti-equine aquatic dictus does not confer greater difficulty, the instep piece, where the anchor is located, is lined by the inside of the boot, with neoprene sewn to the bootie, the anchor being only visible, as well as the area of the ring, which also has this same condition to avoid friction and unwanted compressions.

It also has an adjustment in the velcro that surrounds from the inner supramaléolar zone, to the outer zone of the same, also passing through the Achilles heel and in this way to be able to fix the velcro of the adjustable strap and place them at the height that is most creates convenient, for more or less traction of the foot.

This anti-equine aquatic dictus, at the end of its use, it is very advisable to wash abundantly with fresh water, so we will make sure we have a much longer product life cycle.
