JP2001017202A - Corrective shoe for inner-side type knee osteoarthritis - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a corrective shoe such as a tabi or sock for a patient suffering from the inner-side type knee osteoarthritis, generally called the OA knee, or the bowlegs for treating the knee osteoarthritis, improving the condition of the knee or softening the pain, or preventing the disease by correcting the patient's posture in walking mainly in a room. SOLUTION: The outer surface of the right/left soles 10 of the corrective shoes is flat, and a slope is formed in the inner surface side of each sole 10 so that the inner surface of the soles 10 is gradually lowered from the right/left outer side ends 11 toward the right/left inner side ends of the soles 10. Therefore, since a patient wearing the shoes can walk with right/left knees brought close to each other naturally, the posture of the patient suffering from the inner-side type knee osteoarthritis, generally called the OA knee, or the bowlegs can be naturally corrected in walking.
