Abstract

Device for stretching the plantar fascia and the Achilles tendon characterized in that it comprises a semicircular piece (1) as a foot support with two holes and two triangular pieces, one for support and elevation of the big toe (2) and another for support and elevation of the four triphalangeal fingers (3), where the two triangular pieces are joined to the semicircular piece by means of two screws (4, 5) that are inserted into the holes of the semicircular piece (1).

Description

DESCRIPTION

ACHILLES TENDON AND FASCIA PLANTAR STRETCHING DEVICE

TECHNICAL SECTOR

There are some elements to develop a stretch of the Achilles tendon or the plantar fascla of the foot in isolation and without knowing adequately the graduation of this stretch. Similarly, it does not allow to graduate the stretch of the plantar fascia.

The present invention relates to a device for causing a stretch in the Achilles tendon and the Plantar Fascia of the Foot. The Achilles tendon stretch is developed by leaning the foot on the seesaw. The plantar fascia stretch is performed by raising the big toe separately or by raising all the toes together. These stretching actions can be performed simultaneously or each one separately.

The device has 1 piece 2 centimeters high, 1 piece 4 centimeters high and 1 piece 6 centimeters high to raise the big toe and 1 piece 2 centimeters high, 1 piece 4 centimeters high and 1 piece 6 centimeters high to raise all the fingers together simultaneously. These pieces fit into the front upper part of the rocker and can stretch the Plantar Fascia of the Foot with different intensities thanks to the different height graduations.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are devices that allow to stretch the Achilles tendon or the plantar fascia, but the drawback is that they do not stretch the plantar fascia in a graduated way, nor do they allow stretch it in isolation. In the same way, the devices are curved at their base, which makes it difficult to control and stabilize the stretch in a way that is maintained over time.

The device presented allows the plantar fascia of the foot to be stretched in a graduated manner in different positions while simultaneously stretching the Achilles tendon or not. In addition, it allows lifting all the toes together or only the big toe exclusively with different attachable pieces that will allow the big toe or all the fingers to be stretched to 2.4 and 6 cm in height. In addition, different stable angulations are incorporated to stretch the Achilles tendon, which allows the intensity of the stretch to be adjusted according to the need.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The device to stretch the plantar fascia and the Achilles tendon that we present has the advantage of accurately measuring the stretch of the plantar fascia since it has several different heights to raise the big toe or all the fingers simultaneously. While you may be stretching the Achilles tendon in different positions that also allows us to know the exact state of stretching.

To complement the description that is going to be made below and with the aim of helping to better understand the characteristics of the invention, the present specification is accompanied by a set of plans based on the figures of which the innovations and innovations will be more easily understood. advantages of the device object of the invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a semicircular piece {1) with two holes for the two screws, which will allow the support of the foot

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the two triangular pieces, one for support and elevation of the big toe (2) and another for support and elevation of the four triphalangeal toes (3). Each piece will have three variants of different heights (2, 4 and 6 centimeters) to facilitate different degrees of lifting and stretching.

Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view of the two triangular pieces, which are held vertically to the semicircular piece by means of a screw for the support of the big toe (4) and a screw for the support of the triphalangeal fingers (5).

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, the patient places his foot on top of the device

The part is selected to raise the big toe or raise all the toes together This height has several options and is selectable by the user to achieve the desired stretch

Patient tilts device to support flat, stable surface for desired stretch
