Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet une genouillère perfectionnbe de rééducation fonctionnelle. The invention relates to an improved knee brace for functional rehabilitation.
Les genouillères actuellement sur le marché sont réalisées selon une enveloppe tubulaire élastique transversalement à partir dune contexture textile s adaptant sur la jambe et présentant une ouverture centrale avant pour le passage de la rotule. Autour de cette ouverture est disposé un coussinet qui peut entre soit continu pour assurer la contention de la rotule soit discontinu avec une fente pour assurer en plus de la contention de la rotule celle du ligament rotulien. Cette dernière réalisation est décrite dans le Brevet Européen 154758 dont le déposant est l'inventeur également. Dans ce Brevet. le coussinet présente les bordures extr#mes droites en regard formés sur le coussinet en délimitant la fente pour le passage du ligament rotulien.La longueur des bordures et donc de la fente correspondent à la section de l'anneau formant le coussinet. The kneepads currently on the market are produced in an elastic tubular casing transversely from a textile texture adapting to the leg and having a front central opening for the passage of the patella. Around this opening is arranged a pad which can either be continuous to ensure the containment of the patella or discontinuous with a slot to ensure in addition to the containment of the patella that of the patellar ligament. This latter achievement is described in European Patent 154758, of which the applicant is also the inventor. In this Patent. the pad has the straight edges opposite my formed on the pad delimiting the slot for the passage of the patellar ligament. The length of the edges and therefore of the slot correspond to the section of the ring forming the pad.
Il est apparu nécessaire. pour certains cas, d'augmen- ter la contention du ligament rotulien ou la tenue de celui-ci dans la fente en adaptant le coussinet a la morphologie de chaque individu. It appeared necessary. for certain cases, to increase the contention of the patellar ligament or the holding of this one in the slit by adapting the pad to the morphology of each individual.
La solution originale retenue est simple et n'entrane pas de surcout dans la réalisation de la genouillère. The original solution adopted is simple and does not lead to any additional cost in the construction of the kneepad.
Selon l'invention. la genouillère perfectionnbe de rééducation fonctionnelle du type composée d'une enveloppe tubulaire élastique transversalement avec une ouverture frontale pour le passage de la rotule. ouverture bordée intérieurement par un coussinet annulaire interrompu dans sa partie inférieure pour former une fente sous le tissu de la genouillère. fente permettant le passage du ligament rotulien. ladite genouillère étant remarquable en ce que les bordures en regard du coussinet dé+inissant ladite fente se prolongent vers le bas de la ge mouillère par deux bandes parallèles l'une à l'autre dbfinissant une longueur de la fente ou canal de contention du ligament rotulien supérieure à la section de l'anneau constituant le coussinet. According to the invention. the advanced functional rehabilitation knee brace of the type composed of a transversely elastic tubular casing with a front opening for the passage of the patella. opening internally bordered by an annular cushion interrupted in its lower part to form a slit under the fabric of the kneepad. slot allowing the passage of the patellar ligament. said knee brace being remarkable in that the edges facing the bearing cushion defining said slit extend downwards from the wetted core by two strips parallel to each other defining a length of the slit or ligament retention channel patellar superior to the section of the ring constituting the bearing.

A+in de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins. A + in to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.
La genouillère de réadaptation +onctionnelle est ré+é- rencée dans son ensemble par f1) et est composée dune façon connue par une enveloppe tubulaire (2) en tissu, élastique au moins dans le sens transversal. Cette enveloppe est de forme générale tronconique allant en s'évasant de bas en haut pour s'adapter morphologiquement sur la jambe de lvutilisateur. Elle comporte dans sa partie antérieure une ouverture frontale ( Sw pour le passage de la rotule (4) du genou.Cette ouverture est de fa-on connue bordée intérieurement par un coussinet annulaire (5) interrompu dans sa partie inférieure pour former une fente (5a sous le tissu de la genouillère, fente permettant le passage et la contention du ligament rotulien. The + functional knee brace is re + referenced as a whole by f1) and is composed in a known manner by a tubular casing (2) of fabric, elastic at least in the transverse direction. This envelope is of generally frustoconical shape flaring from bottom to top to adapt morphologically on the leg of the user. It has in its front part a front opening (Sw for the passage of the kneecap (4). This opening is in a known way bordered internally by an annular pad (5) interrupted in its lower part to form a slit ( 5a under the fabric of the knee brace, slot allowing the passage and the containment of the patellar ligament.
Selon l'invention, le perfectionnement réside dans le falot que les bordures (5b - 5c ) en regard du coussinet et défi- nissant ladite fente se prolongent vers le bas de la genouillère par deux bandes sous forme de pattes (6 - 7) disposées parallè- les l'une à l'autre et augmentant de manière sensible la longueur de la fente ou canal de contention du ligament rotulien (LR). De manière avantageuse et non limitative. la longueur (L > des pattes est au moins égale à la section (Si) de l'anneau constitué par le coussinet. Ces pattes peuvent présenter une épaisseur progressive jusqu'a l'ouverture frontale (3) comme illustrée figure 2 ou constante. La hauteur des pattes peut etre égale ou supérieure à l'épaisseur du coussinet. According to the invention, the improvement lies in the eye that the edges (5b - 5c) facing the pad and defining said slot extend downwards from the toggle joint by two bands in the form of legs (6 - 7) arranged parallel to each other and appreciably increasing the length of the patellar ligament (LR) compression slit or channel. Advantageously and without limitation. the length (L> of the legs is at least equal to the section (Si) of the ring formed by the bearing. These legs may have a progressive thickness until the front opening (3) as illustrated in FIG. 2 or constant. The height of the legs can be equal to or greater than the thickness of the pad.
Compte tenu de la longueur desdites pattes et afin de conserver un parallélisme constant, il est prévu au moins un pontelet (8) formant entretoise entre elles. Ce pontelet est avantageusement disposé à l'extrémité desdites pattes. Given the length of said legs and in order to maintain constant parallelism, there is provided at least one pontelet (8) forming a spacer between them. This pontelet is advantageously disposed at the end of said legs.
On a représenté aux figres S f et 7 une variante de réalisation du coussinet. Celui-ci comprend dans le prolongement de l'anneaux une partie support ttO7 d'épaisseur égale à celle du. coussinet en étant orienté vers le bas et sur laquelle sont disposées de bandes sous forme de bourrelets profilés longilignes (11) parallèles, délimitant la fente Ilf de contention du ligament rotulien. Entre les deux bourrelets, l'épaisseur de la partie support est réduite sous la forme d'un film de liaison. There is shown in Figs S f and 7 an alternative embodiment of the pad. This comprises, in the extension of the rings, a support part ttO7 of thickness equal to that of. bearing facing downwards and on which bands are arranged in the form of parallel long, profiled beads (11) delimiting the ilf slot for holding the patellar ligament. Between the two beads, the thickness of the support part is reduced in the form of a bonding film.
Lesdits bourrelets sont établis ainsi qu'il apparat figure 5 sur la longueur totale du support (10) jusqu'à déboucher vers l'ouverture frontale (Z) de passage de la rotule. Said beads are established as shown in Figure 5 on the total length of the support (10) until opening towards the front opening (Z) for passage of the ball joint.
Le coussinet, dans son ensemble et selon l'invention, est avantageusement réalisé monobloc en un matériau souple tel que le silicone. Ainsi, le ligament rotulien est maintenu sous une très grande longueur limitant le phénomène d'ondes vibratoires en particulier les ondes vibratoires frontales. Le coussinet est entièrement protégé par une paroi de recouvrement en tissu, rapportée, cousue ou piquée ou autrement. The pad, as a whole and according to the invention, is advantageously made in one piece from a flexible material such as silicone. Thus, the patellar ligament is maintained under a very long length limiting the phenomenon of vibratory waves in particular the frontal vibrational waves. The pad is fully protected by a fabric covering wall, attached, sewn or stitched or otherwise.
Le coussinet selon l'invention est adapté à tous types de genouillère comprenant ou non des moyens complémentaires du type moyens de serrage, moyens lui donnant une angulation. The pad according to the invention is suitable for all types of toggle joint comprising or not complementary means of the clamping means type, means giving it an angulation.
Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention. En particulier on souligne la fiabilité accrue de contention du ligament. The advantages emerge clearly from the invention. In particular, the increased reliability of ligament restraint is emphasized.
