Protector del tendón de Aquiles para prácticas deportivasAchilles tendon protector for sports practices
Sector de la técnicaTechnical sector
El sector en el que se encuadra la invención es el de los protectores corporales para jugadores o deportistas, es decir, accesorios de protección corporal que protejan partes del cuerpo contra golpes o colisiones.The sector in which the invention falls is that of body protectors for players or athletes, that is, accessories for body protection that protect parts of the body against blows or collisions.
El objeto de la invención, como su propio título indica, se refiere a un artículo de protección de las piernas, en particular del tercio inferior de la pierna, sobre la zona supracalcánea dorsal superficial, con especial protección en las tracciones de la inserción calcánea del tendón de Aquiles, ya que esta es un área particularmente vulnerable, especialmente en los deportistas.The object of the invention, as its title indicates, refers to an article for the protection of the legs, in particular the lower third of the leg, on the superficial dorsal supracalcaneal area, with special protection in the tractions of the calcaneal insertion of the Achilles tendon, as this is a particularly vulnerable area, especially in athletes.
Estado de la técnicaState of the art
El tendón de Aquiles es el tendón más fuerte, más grande y que con más frecuencia se rompe en el cuerpo humano ya que a través de él ejecutan sus acciones los músculos flexores plantares del tobillo. Se trata del tendón que une los músculos gastrocnemio y sóleo, y puede tener una pequeña contribución del músculo plantar. Los músculos y el tendón de Aquiles están en el compartimento posterior y superficial de la pantorrilla.The Achilles tendon is the strongest, largest and most frequently ruptured tendon in the human body since the plantar flexor muscles of the ankle carry out their actions through it. It is the tendon that connects the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, and may have a small contribution from the plantar muscle. The muscles and the Achilles tendon are in the posterior and superficial compartment of the calf.
Los trastornos del tendón de Aquiles incluyen tendinitis, paratendinitis, tendinitis de inserción, bursitis retrocalcánea y rotura. La ruptura del tendón de Aquiles es una lesión frecuente con una incidencia creciente que actualmente no tiene consenso unánime sobre el tratamiento quirúrgico versus el tratamiento no quirúrgico. Lo cierto es que, si las condiciones clínicas no mejoran después de 6 meses de tratamiento conservador, se recomienda la cirugía. Los pacientes presentan dolor e hinchazón en la parte posterior del tobillo. El tratamiento no quirúrgico de los trastornos del tendón de Aquiles incluye medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos, fisioterapia, refuerzo y modificación del calzado. El tratamiento quirúrgico incluye el desbridamiento del área enferma del tendón con reparación directa. Achilles tendon disorders include tendonitis, paratendinitis, insertional tendonitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, and rupture. Achilles tendon rupture is a common injury with an increasing incidence that currently has no unanimous consensus on surgical versus non-surgical treatment. The truth is that if the clinical conditions do not improve after 6 months of conservative treatment, surgery is recommended. Patients have pain and swelling at the back of the ankle. Non-surgical treatment of Achilles tendon disorders includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, reinforcement, and shoe modification. Surgical treatment includes debridement of the diseased tendon area with direct repair.
La patología del tendón de Aquiles se ve influida en muchos casos por patologías sistémicas como la diabetes. Aquí es donde cobra una gran importancia, ya que por varios motivos es una zona que presenta una mayor dificultad de curación y, por lo tanto, que debemos proteger de manera preventiva. Los factores de riesgo de rotura del tendón de Aquiles también están asociados a la edad de 30-40 años, al género masculino por su mayor intensidad del ejercicio físico, y con algunos tipos de deportes que implican cambio de ritmo de movimiento (fútbol y tenis), inyecciones de esteroides y el sobrepeso.Achilles tendon pathology is influenced in many cases by systemic pathologies such as diabetes. This is where it becomes very important, since for several reasons it is an area that presents a greater difficulty in healing and, therefore, that we must protect preventively. Risk factors for Achilles tendon rupture are also associated with the age of 30-40 years, the male gender due to its greater intensity of physical exercise, and with some types of sports that involve a change in the rhythm of movement (soccer and tennis ), steroid injections and being overweight.
Como medida preventiva, los deportistas se protegen el tendón de Aquiles y los tobillos con un vendaje o un gel cubierto con una tira protectora adhesiva. Estas protecciones deben implementarse sistemáticamente antes de cada entrenamiento o evento deportivo. La solución es relativamente eficiente pero costosa en términos de tiempo y material, puesto que las tiras adhesivas se quitan y desechan después de cada uso.As a preventive measure, athletes protect their Achilles tendon and ankles with a bandage or gel covered with an adhesive protective strip. These protections must be systematically implemented before every training or sporting event. The solution is relatively efficient but expensive in terms of time and material, since the adhesive strips are removed and discarded after each use.
Por la gran frecuencia de la rotura del tendón de Aquiles y por el gran gasto que supone la lesión en deportistas de élite, se propone un dispositivo añadido a elásticos de los miembros inferiores para la utilización en aquellos deportes que impliquen cambios de ritmo en su ejecución.Due to the high frequency of the Achilles tendon rupture and due to the great expense that the injury entails in elite athletes, a device added to the elastic bands of the lower limbs is proposed for use in those sports that involve changes in rhythm in their execution .
Explicación de la invenciónExplanation of the invention
Con el fin de alcanzar los objetivos propuestos, mencionados en el apartado anterior, la invención propone un protector del tendón de Aquiles para prácticas deportivas, que tiene las características de la reivindicación 1.In order to achieve the proposed objectives, mentioned in the previous section, the invention proposes an Achilles tendon protector for sports practices, which has the characteristics of claim 1.
El protector de tendón de Aquiles presenta un cuerpo alargado, de sección en "C”, que se adapta a la parte posterior de la pierna, desde una zona inferior próxima al talón, a otra superior, próxima a la pantorrilla, cubriendo toda la extensión del tendón de Aquiles.The Achilles tendon protector has an elongated body, with a "C" section, which adapts to the back of the leg, from a lower area close to the heel, to an upper area, close to the calf, covering the entire extension Achilles tendon.
Se trata de una pieza que está compuesta por una parte rígida exterior y una parte flexible interior.It is a piece that is made up of a rigid outer part and a flexible inner part.
La parte exterior es de poliéster, fibra de vidrio o carbono, cuero, etc., en general cualquier material que se adapte a la configuración indicada y que presente garantías de comodidad, transpirabilidad y resistencia sobre la presión o impacto directo en la parte a proteger.
