Abstract

The foot arch meter (map) is a diagnostic tool ergonomically designed to assess the normal and pathological status of the foot. This instrument allows to quantify the changes in the morphology of the foot throughout life and adopt concrete measures to avoid the use of inappropriate footwear, appearance of pain, limitation of mobility when walking, changes in the distribution of pressure on the feet related to loss balance, consequently harming the health, independence and well-being of people. The scope of application of the invention will be addressed to the medical industry and footwear industry, and more specifically the podiatric, physiotherapeutic, prosthetic, medical, sanitary sectors, due to the lack of specific instruments to accurately determine the height of the external longitudinal arch. And internal of the feet that could improve the study of the feet. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

El instrumento MAP es una herramienta diseñada de fonna ergonómica para medir la longitud total del pie, desde el talón hasta el dedo más largo del pie. Además pennite detenninar y cuantificar las alturas del arco longitudinal interno y externo. La utilidad de este instrumento es que pennite valorar el estado nonnal y también para diagnosticar las alteraciones o defonnidades que se presentan en esta estructura anatómica. The MAP instrument is an ergonomically designed tool to measure the total length of the foot, from the heel to the longest toe. In addition pennite detaninar and quantify the heights of the internal and external longitudinal arc. The usefulness of this instrument is that it can assess the nonnal state and also to diagnose the alterations or defonnities that occur in this anatomical structure.

El ámbito de aplicación clínica de la invención tendrá como destinatario la industria médica, y mas concretamente los sectores podo lógico, fisioterápico, protésico, médico, sanitario ya que existen instrumentos de muy diversas características en función de las prestaciones previstas para cada caso, pero que carecen de la posibilidade de medir con precisión la altura del arco lonxitudinal externo e interno del pie. The scope of the clinical application of the invention will be the medical industry, and more specifically the logical, physiotherapeutic, prosthetic, medical, and sanitary sectors, since there are instruments of very different characteristics depending on the benefits provided for each case, but that they lack the possibility of accurately measuring the height of the external and internal lonxitudinal arch of the foot.

Medidores Generales destinados exclusivamente a medir cualquier zona anatómica del cuerpo sin poseer una ergonomía y precisión de medida específica para el pie, como por ejemplo la cinta métrica, un calibre o pie de rey. General Meters intended exclusively to measure any anatomical area of the body without having specific ergonomics and measurement accuracy for the foot, such as the measuring tape, a caliper or king's foot.

(b) (b)
Medidores del Pie provistos para medir la longitud, anchura o la huella del plantar pero desprovistos de la propiedad de evaluar y medir la altura de los arcos del pie. Foot meters provided to measure the length, width or footprint of the planting but without the property of evaluating and measuring the height of the arches of the foot.

Entre los medidores generales, encontrarnos diferentes tipos de cintas métricas y calibres o pie de rey que varían principalmente en la composición de los materiales de los cuales están compuestos pudiendo ser de madera, tela, plástico, papel, metaL .. siendo los modelos patentados más destacables del estado de la tecnología relacionada con los medidor del arco para el pie los siguientes: Among the general meters, we find different types of measuring tapes and calipers or king's foot that vary mainly in the composition of the materials of which they are composed of wood, fabric, plastic, paper, metal ... being the most patented models Highlights of the state of the art related to the arch gauges the following:

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LAS FIGURAS DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

Para iniciar la descripción que se está realizando y con objeto de ayudar a una mejor comprensión de las características de la invención, se acompaña a la presente memoria descriptiva, como parte integral de la misma, un juego de figuras en el que, con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo, se representa lo siguiente: To initiate the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of figures is attached as an integral part thereof, in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following is represented:

Figura 1. Vista lateral del medidor del arco del pie en todo su conjunto. Figure 1. Side view of the arch of the foot arch in its entire set.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El medidor del arco del pie es una herramienta que consta de un diseño ergonómico que presenta una base regulable (véase Fig.1) con la peculiaridad de tener un espacio para colocar el pie y ajustarlo a la dimensión morfológica de cualquier pie o calzado lo que facilita la medición de la longitud y de esa manera poder cuantificarlo en esa dimensión. The arch of the foot arch is a tool that consists of an ergonomic design that has an adjustable base (see Fig. 1) with the peculiarity of having a space to place the foot and adjust it to the morphological dimension of any foot or footwear which it facilitates the measurement of the length and in this way to be able to quantify it in that dimension.

Hasta aquí se han descrito aspectos del medidor ya conocidos. So far, aspects of the meter already known have been described.

La base posee dos sistemas uno que se articula con en el extremo donde se mide la longitud del pie (2) y otro sistema provisto de una guía ajustable que mide la altura de los arcos del pie (3). Estos sistemas le confieren la posibilidad de permitir en un solo dispositivo medir indistintamente tanto el pie derecho como el izquierdo al poder cambiar el posicionamiento de ambos elementos que presenta la invención. Estas especiales características permiten determinar la medición del pie en dos dimensiones: por una parte medir la longitud del pie y por otra parte determinar de forma fiable la altura del arco del pie. El interés de este instrumento para los investigadores y los clínicos radica en que cuantifica y determina la altura del arco y permite estudiar, detectar, evaluar y tratar las deformidades del pie a nivel general y del arco longitudinal interno y externo de manera especial. The base has two systems, one that is articulated with at the end where the foot length (2) is measured and another system equipped with an adjustable guide that measures the height of the foot arches (3). These systems give it the possibility of allowing, in a single device, to measure both the right and the left foot interchangeably, being able to change the positioning of both elements presented by the invention. These special features allow you to determine the measurement of the foot in two dimensions: on the one hand measure the length of the foot and on the other hand reliably determine the height of the arch of the foot. The interest of this instrument for researchers and clinicians is that it quantifies and determines the height of the arch and allows to study, detect, evaluate and treat deformities of the foot at a general level and of the internal and external longitudinal arch in a special way.

El uso de está herramienta se orienta a prevenir lesiones en el pie y en el tobillo, mejorar la calidad de vida y evitar que los problemas que no se traten produzcan desequilibrios como la escoliosis, problemas posturales, reducción en la velocidad de The use of this tool is aimed at preventing foot and ankle injuries, improving the quality of life and preventing untreated problems from producing imbalances such as scoliosis, postural problems, reduction in the speed of

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

15 El medidor del arco del pie es una técnica directa fiable que mide en un solo sistema cualquier pie en dos dimensiones gracias a estar provisto de un diseño ergonómico con un sistema articula y que se ajusta a la demanda y a la necesidad del pie determinando con exactitud las medidas del mismo. 15 The arch of the foot arch is a reliable direct technique that measures in any single system any foot in two dimensions thanks to being provided with an ergonomic design with an articular system and that adjusts to the demand and the need of the foot determining accurately the measures of it.
