Description

DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION

dell'invenzione avente per titolo: of the invention entitled:

" Ortesi per la cura dell'alluce valgo " "Orthosis for the treatment of hallux valgus"

La presente invenzione concerne un’ortesi per la cura dell'alluce valgo. Sono noti dispositivi per curare l'alluce valgo, cioè quella deformità (cosiddetta cipolla) della parte anteriore del piede conseguente di una deviazione dell'alluce verso le altre dita del piede. The present invention relates to an orthosis for the treatment of hallux valgus. Devices are known for treating hallux valgus, that is the deformity (so-called onion) of the anterior part of the foot resulting from a deviation of the big toe towards the other toes.

Questo spostamento causa un tipico rigonfiamento infiammatorio laterale a livello della testa del primo metatarso. L'angolo tra il metatarso dell'alluce e quello del secondo dito si modifica progressivamente con spostamento della base dell'alluce verso l'esterno. This displacement causes a typical lateral inflammatory swelling at the head of the first metatarsal. The angle between the metatarsus of the big toe and that of the second toe changes progressively as the base of the big toe moves outwards.

Scopo dell'invenzione è di realizzare un'ortesi che possa essere costruita in modo semplice ed agevole. The object of the invention is to provide an orthosis that can be constructed in a simple and easy way.

Altro scopo dell'invenzione è di realizzare un'ortesi che aderisca alla curva del piede e contrasti progressivamente la deformazione dell'alluce valgo, alleviandone i dolori e mantenendo inoltre al contempo inalterata la mobilità dell'articolazione metatarso-falange durante la deambulazione. Another object of the invention is to provide an orthosis that adheres to the curve of the foot and progressively contrasts the deformation of the hallux valgus, relieving the pains and also maintaining at the same time the mobility of the metatarsal-phalanx joint unchanged during walking.

Altro scopo dell’invenzione è di realizzare un’ortesi che abbia spessore contenuto e presenti una forma aderente alle curve del piede, anche quella ortogonale alla direzione della molla, possa essere indossata con una normale calzatura. Another purpose of the invention is to make an orthosis that has a limited thickness and has a shape that adheres to the curves of the foot, even the one orthogonal to the direction of the spring, which can be worn with a normal shoe.

Tali scopi sono raggiunti secondo l’invenzione con un’ortesi per la cura dell’alluce valgo come descritto nella rivendicazione 1. These purposes are achieved according to the invention with an orthosis for the treatment of hallux valgus as described in claim 1.

La presente invenzione viene qui di seguito ulteriormente chiarita in una sua preferita forma di pratica realizzazione riportata a scopo puramente esemplificativo ma non limitativo con riferimento alle allegate tavole di disegni, in cui: The present invention is further clarified hereinafter in a preferred embodiment thereof reported for purely illustrative but not limitative purposes with reference to the attached drawings, in which:

la figura 1 mostra un'ortesi applicata ad un piede, figure 1 shows an orthosis applied to one foot,

la figura 2 mostra la molla in fase di preparazione, figure 2 shows the spring being prepared,

la figura 3 mostra la molla elastica dopo la fase di formazione della concavità rivolta verso l'esterno del piede, e figure 3 shows the elastic spring after the phase of formation of the concavity facing the outside of the foot, e

la figura 4 mostra la molla deformata con la concavità lungo il suo asse longitudinale. Figure 4 shows the deformed spring with the concavity along its longitudinal axis.

Come si vede dalle figure l'ortesi, indicata genericamente con 2, secondo l'invenzione comprende una fascia elastica 4 che avvolge il collo 6 del piede 8, un ditale 10 che avvolge l'alluce 12, la fascia 4 ed il ditale 10 essendo collegati da una lamina elastica 12 ricurva inserita in una fodera 14, realizzata in silicone trasparente, sostanzialmente a contatto con la parte di alluce valgo. As can be seen from the figures, the orthosis, generically indicated with 2, according to the invention comprises an elastic band 4 that wraps the instep 6 of the foot 8, a thimble 10 that surrounds the big toe 12, the band 4 and the thimble 10 being connected by a curved elastic lamina 12 inserted in a lining 14, made of transparent silicone, substantially in contact with the hallux valgus part.

La fascia elastica 4 ed il ditale 10 sono realizzati in silicone trasparente e presentano il vantaggio di poter essere indossati con sandali aperti. The elastic band 4 and the thimble 10 are made of transparent silicone and have the advantage of being able to be worn with open sandals.

In una variante realizzativa non rappresentata nei disegni la fascia ed il ditale sono realizzati in velcro In an embodiment variant not shown in the drawings, the band and the thimble are made of Velcro

La fascia è provvista di mezzi di regolazione, non rappresentati nei disegni, dell'ammorsamento del collo del piede. The band is provided with adjustment means, not shown in the drawings, of the gripping of the instep.

Allo stesso modo sono previsti mezzi per la regolazione del diametro del ditale. Similarly, means are provided for adjusting the diameter of the thimble.

In particolare, la lamina elastica 12 è costituita da una molletta sinusoidale, di lunghezza di 120 – 160 mm in base alla lunghezza del piede, ottenuta a partire da un filo flessibile di lunghezza adeguata compresa fra 100 - 200 mm, preferibilmente acciaio armonico di diametro 1 – 2 mm che inizialmente viene piegato a formare una pluralità di onde 16 con passo compreso fra 2 - 4 mm. In particular, the elastic lamina 12 is constituted by a sinusoidal clip, with a length of 120 - 160 mm according to the length of the foot, obtained starting from a flexible wire of suitable length between 100 - 200 mm, preferably harmonic steel with a diameter 1 - 2 mm which is initially bent to form a plurality of waves 16 with a pitch of between 2 - 4 mm.

Le onde 16 posso avere altezza costante compresa fra 15 – 25 mm più o meno 3 mm. o in alternativa altezza decrescente dalla mezzeria da 15 – 40 mm più o meno 3 mm. Waves 16 can have a constant height between 15 - 25 mm plus or minus 3 mm. or alternatively height decreasing from the centerline from 15 - 40 mm plus or minus 3 mm.

Successivamente tutti i tratti rettilinei 18 della molletta vengono sottoposti a torsione assiale in un senso o nell'altro alternatamente ad ottenere la molletta rappresentata di fig. 3 che presenta una forma ricurva ad estremità 20, 20’ sostanzialmente accostate. Subsequently, all the rectilinear portions 18 of the clip are subjected to axial torsion in one direction or the other alternately to obtain the clip shown in fig. 3 which has a curved shape with ends 20, 20 'substantially next to each other.

Successivamente si sottopone a deformazione la molla secondo un asse ortogonale alle ondulazioni così da formare su ciascun tratto rettilineo 18 della molletta una concavità 22 rivolta verso l’esterno dello spazio delimitato dalla molletta ripiegata. The spring is then subjected to deformation according to an axis orthogonal to the undulations so as to form on each straight section 18 of the clip a concavity 22 facing outwards of the space delimited by the folded clip.

La molletta viene quindi inserita nella fodera 14 in modo tale che la parte concava relativa all'altezza della molla sia rivolta verso il piede. The clip is then inserted into the lining 14 in such a way that the concave part relating to the height of the spring faces the foot.

Una volta agganciata solo al collo del piede la molla assumerà una forma arricciata. E' soltanto quando verrà ammorsata anche all'alluce che la molla nel suo complesso svilupperà il suo doppio effetto di trazione sull'alluce verso l'esterno e di spinta verso l'interno della cosiddetta cipolla. Once attached only to the instep, the spring will take on a curled shape. It is only when it is also clamped to the big toe that the spring as a whole will develop its double effect of pulling the big toe outwards and pushing the so-called onion inwards.
