Description

  The present invention relates to a foot care practice device and a foot care practice method used for foot care practice. More specifically, the present invention provides a foot care practice device and a foot care practice method that contribute to improving foot care technology without using an actual human body.

  Recently, the number of diabetic patients is increasing. Diabetic patients are prone to complications such as diabetic neuropathy and cannot detect abnormalities such as “pain”, “itchiness”, and “hotness” that are usually felt by humans. Since abnormalities cannot be detected, for example, even with wound nails and ingrown nails, walking may continue without notice, resulting in severe inflammation and suppuration.

  Therefore, it is necessary to cut such nails. However, curly nails are difficult to cut on their own, and if left untreated, they will suppurate or hit the shoes, causing pain. As a treatment method for wound nails, after cleaning both sides of the nail, hang the wire processed according to the nail from the nail groove and pull it with another wire "VHO Spange method (German technology)", on the surface of the nail, There are the “shape memory alloy plate method” that attaches an alloy plate that remembers the straight shape, and the “super elastic wire method” that makes a hole at the end of an extended nail and hangs a resilient wire.

  Also, if you take a deep nail, the corner of the nail hits and hurts. To escape from the pain, the nail may be cut too deep and the deep nail may be advanced. Even if you're going to cut your nails deeply, in many cases, the nail helicopter is left uncut, and as this part grows, it becomes like the tip of a heel, piercing the skin and creating a wound is there. If this is repeated, in a diabetic patient, a bacterial infection may be caused from the wound, and it may worsen to gangrene and the leg may be cut (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).

  Diabetic patients should also be aware of ringworm, urchin (chicken eyes), and octopus (spider and atheroma). Here, ringworm is caused by infection with a fungus (a type of mold) called “dermatophyte”. Wonome is a cornified keratinized when pressure or friction is repeatedly applied to the same part, and the keratin thickening gradually increases to a bean grain size. The thickened horny layer forms a hard horn plug with a well-defined boundary and grows and protrudes conically into the dermis. Therefore, I feel strong pain when pressed. Although there are no blood vessels in the horn plug, blood vessels outside the border can be damaged and bleed under the stratum corneum, and if left unclean in this state, bacterial infection is likely to occur (for example, Non-patent document 1).

  In the case of a foot, an octopus is a keratinous thickening caused by pressure or friction on the heel, outer edge, or metatarsal bone head of the sole of the foot under pressure or friction with shoes or the like. In the case of an octopus, the pain due to compression is relatively light, and there is no blood vessel in the square plate, but it may cause bleeding under the stratum corneum. The treatment is carefully carved from the surface by a nurse with a cone cutter or scalpel, but it is dangerous and requires practice.

  Therefore, it is desirable to treat at a specialized clinic for foot care, which is a method for treating the toenails and skin. However, it requires careful attention as described above, so it is necessary to master it through practice. In other words, it is desirable to be performed by a person who has acquired care techniques.

As a conventional technique, in a foot care device, a proposal (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) that can effectively wash the sole of a foot without bothering a human hand, a device for removing skin from a user's foot Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2). However, there are no foot care practice devices and foot care practice methods.
Kazue Sugita's "Diabetic Foot Care Performed by Nurses" Nankodo March 2006 4p Jamsea Kyosai Co., Ltd. JP 2000-93343 A JP 2007-21169 A

  The acquisition of conventional foot care techniques has been carried out through observation of actual foot care at facilities where foot care is performed, and practice where the trainees experience foot care alternately using each other's feet. Therefore, there is almost no opportunity to learn foot care technology with the above-mentioned ingrown nail, ingrown nail, deep nail, etc., even if the foot care technology for the normal model is improved, the ingrown nail, ingrown nail, It is difficult to improve foot care technology for deep nails. Practice is also required for ringworm, wolves, and octopus. Furthermore, because the subject's model has different foot conditions, it was difficult to teach at the same level, and there were problems such as being unable to practice repeatedly. Furthermore, in order to practice using the feet of the subject model, a space for placing a dedicated bed / chair is required. On the other hand, there was a problem that the actual human body lacks specimens.

  An object of the present invention is to solve these problems and provide a foot care practice device and a foot care practice method that contribute to improving foot care technology without using an actual human body.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors made an artificial human foot model, and as a result of earnestly examining the structure for facilitating the practice and acquisition of foot care technology using the foot model. The present invention has been completed.

  The foot care practice device according to (1) is characterized in that at least one toe model is detachable from the pseudo-foot model, and the pseudo-foot model simulates the shape of a foot. For example, a simple rectangular parallelepiped shape may be used. This is because in the foot care practice for a lesioned nail, it is only necessary that the toe model to which the lesioned nail model is attached is fixed, and it is not always necessary to be a body model imitating the foot shape.

  The same applies to the lesion model part of the skin, and the attachment of the lesion model part is not limited to the model imitating the shape of the foot, but may be a pseudo model of the foot body.

  (2) A foot main body model formed by a foot rear surface, a foot bottom surface, and a heel surface, and a plurality of foot foot models, wherein at least one of the foot foot models is detachable from the foot body model. Foot care practice device characterized by that.

  According to the foot care practice device described in (2), the foot body model and the plurality of toe models formed by the back of the foot, the bottom of the foot, and the heel surface, and at least one toe model is attached and detached. Since it has a possible structure, when practicing a lesion related to a toe, it can be practiced repeatedly while exchanging a toe model of the same lesion. The back of the foot, the bottom of the foot, and the heel surface are preferably curved surfaces from the viewpoint of the impression of those who practice foot care, but are not limited thereto. According to such a foot care practice device, it is possible to practice foot care without using a footpad with an actual human body lesion. In addition, there is an effect that a large number of people can be provided with the same level of education.

  The foot body model and the toe model are prepared by pouring resin into a mold, and the material is preferably a soft vinyl chloride resin. The creation of the foot main body model and the toe model is generally performed by pouring resin into the mold, but is not limited to this. Further, the material used may be silicon rubber, urethane resin or the like, and is not limited to soft vinyl chloride resin.

  (3) The foot care practice device according to (1) or (2), wherein the footpad model further includes a removable nail model.

  According to the foot care practice device described in (3), since the footpad model further includes a removable lesion nail model for exercise, the practice of cutting the lesion nail occupying the core of the foot care technology is performed. You can practice repeatedly by replacing parts.

  The lesioned nail model includes a spoonful nail, a claw nail, a club nail, a square flute nail, an ingrown nail, a nail spine disorder, and a nail that is thickened and hardened by ringworm. By replacing the prepared footpad model, it is possible to practice nail clipping methods corresponding to various lesions.

  As the material for the lesion nail model, polyester that can provide physical properties such as hardness similar to that of an actual nail is desirable because it involves a nail cutting operation. In addition, vinyl chloride resin, ABS resin, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate and the like may be used, and are not limited to polyester.

  (4) A skin lesion comprising a foot main body model formed of a back surface of the foot, a bottom surface of the foot, and a heel surface, and a plurality of toe models, and detachable on the foot main body model or the plurality of toe models. A foot care practice device characterized by having a model portion.

  According to the foot care practice device described in (4), since there is a detachable skin lesion model part in a part of the foot main body model or a plurality of toe models, practice repeatedly by replacing the lesion model part. Can do. The lesion model part of the skin for practice is preferably a women and an octopus caused by thickening of the skin, but may be other lesion parts. The most common site for urchin and octopus is the sole of the foot, but it can also be formed at the tip of the toes, between the toes, and the outer edge of the foot, and in any case by adopting a structure with a lesion model part in these corresponding parts It is possible to provide a foot care practice device that is also suitable for.

  (5) The foot care practice device according to (1) or (4), wherein the lesion model portion can be excised.

  (5) Wonome or octopus of the horny thickened portion described in the above is practiced to excise with a cone cutter or a scalpel in foot care practice. Therefore, it is necessary not only to have a lesion model part but also to excise and practice, and by adopting a structure that allows excision practice, practical foot care practice can be performed.

  Since the keratinous thickened lesion model part that is practiced to cut with a cone cutter or scalpel has a hardness close to the actual hardness, it is desirable to use a hard vinyl chloride resin as the material. In addition, you may create using ABS resin, silicon rubber, etc.

  (6) The foot care practice device according to (4) or (5), wherein the lesion model part can be attached and detached within a range having a normal part surrounding the lesion model part.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an embodiment of a foot care practice device according to the present invention, and illustrates a state in which a first toe model is detachable. FIG. 2 is an example of various removable nail models. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are views showing the detachment form of the lesion nail model in the first footpad model. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a lesioned part of the skin.

  A foot care practice device 1 according to the present invention is shown in FIG. The foot main body model 40 includes a foot main body model 40 formed by the foot rear surface 10, the foot bottom surface 20, and the heel surface 30, a detachable first foot pad model 50, and a plurality of foot pad models 52, 54. , 56, 58, and removable replacement parts 70, 72, 74 having skin lesion model parts 71, 73, 75. And it connects with the fixing tool 60 and the free arm 62 so that the angle and direction of the foot main body model 40 can be changed and it can attach to the practice stand 100. FIG.

  In the foot care practice device 1 shown in FIG. 1A, as shown in FIG. 1B, the first toe model 50 can be attached and detached, and the nail model 80 can be attached and detached from the first toe model 50. It has a simple structure. In such a foot care practice device 1, it is possible to practice cutting the nail of the affected nail as foot care practice. A target lesion nail model is attached to the first footpad model 50 on the foot body model 40. In order to acquire foot care technology, we practice foot care using tools such as a nail clipper, a nail file, a nipper, a sonde, a cone cutter and a nail brush. The practiced lesion nail model is detachable and can be replaced with a new practiced nail model at the end of practicing nail clippers, so that the foot care technique can be efficiently learned.

  An example of the first toe model 50 corresponding to various lesion nail models is shown in FIG. 2, (a) is a spoon-like claw model 81, (b) is a claw model 82, (c) is a horn flute model 83, (d) is a club nail model 84, and (e) is an ingrown claw model. 85 and (f) are nail spine injury models 86, and (g) is a ringworm nail model 88. In addition, in the figure of the nail spine disorder model in (f), an overall view of the nail model including a portion biting into the skin is attached. Moreover, you may put the powdery material which imitated the scale under the ringworm nail | claw model of (g).

  Various lesion nail models can be attached to the second toe model 52 to the fifth toe model 58 by changing the size of the nail model. Since there may be variously deformed lesion nails with the same lesion, the present invention is not limited to the specific model shape shown in FIG.

  An example of a structure for fixing the toe model and the nail model is shown in FIG. FIG. 3A shows a claw model structure including a structure for attaching the claw model 82 to the toe model, and a support portion 92 for the first toe model 50 and an attachment shaft 91 for determining the position are provided. ing. The first toe model 50 is provided with an attachment portion 43 for fitting the support portion 92 of the claw model 82. The first toe model 50 and the claw model 82 are fixed in substantially planar contact. FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the claw model 82 is attached to the first toe model 50.

  FIG. 4 shows a structure for mounting the square flute nail model 83 to the first toe model 50. The claw has an extreme arc shape, and it is difficult to provide a positioning attachment shaft. In the case of the nail model having such a shape, the shape of the toe model surface can be created in accordance with the shape of the nail model, and the structure can be fixed by simply inserting the horn flute model 83.

  The attachment structure of the various lesion nail models to the toe model is not limited to the structure shown in FIG. 3 or 4, and may be an attachment structure adapted to the nail shape due to the lesion.

  Next, the skin lesion model portion 70 in the foot care practice device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A shows the sole, which is an example of a wort. The replacement portion 70 includes a wort lesion model portion 71. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the replacement portion 70 is attached to the foot body model 40 with the mounting shaft 95 as a replacement unit with a base 76 and a wort lesion model portion 71 and a normal skin portion surrounding the lesion model portion 71 as an exchange unit. It can be inserted. For attachment, the attachment portion 95 is inserted into the attachment hole 44 to the foot body model 40 and fixed. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral shape of the replacement portion 70 is an ellipse. In addition, in order not to rotate, it is good also as a polygon, and you may provide a rotation stopper. This is to prevent the replacement portion 70 from rotating even when a force that rotates the replacement portion 70 is applied during the practice of excising the woome 71. FIG. 5C is a cross-sectional view in a state in which the replacement part 70 having the wort as the lesion model part 71 is attached to the foot main body model 40.

  A characteristic of foot care for woome is that practice of excising the woome portion is required. In practice of excision, not only the lesion model part but also the normal part around the lesion model part may be excised. For this reason, as described above, it is necessary to prevent the foot main body model 40 from being damaged even when the exchanging portion 70 includes the normal portion and the excision in the range exceeding the lesion model portion 71 is performed during practice. is there. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5C, which is a cross-sectional view of the lesion model part of the women, it is desirable to surround the lesion model part with the normal part not only in the outer periphery but also in the depth direction. In addition, when excision beyond a lesion model part, it can also call attention so that red may be seen.

  In the above-described examples of lesions related to the skin, the woome has been described. However, an octopus may be used, and any other lesion that requires foot care with excision is applicable. According to this embodiment, even if the lesion model part is excised during practice, the main body will not be damaged and can be practiced repeatedly.

In addition, the replacement part having the lesion model part can be provided on the sole of the foot corresponding to the metatarsal bone head. As shown in FIG. 5A, in addition to the replacement part 70, the replacement parts 72 and 74 are provided. It may be the position. Furthermore, any site may be used as long as it is a site where a lesion may actually occur, such as between the toes and the tip of the toe.
<Second Embodiment>

  6 and 7 show a foot care practice device 2 for a lesion model part of ringworm as a second embodiment. FIG. 6 (a) shows the bottom surface 20 of the foot, and has detachable lesion model portions 110 and 112 at the heel portion 30 and the outer edge portion of the foot. An example is a lesion for keratinized ringworm. Since skin keratinization occurs in a wide range centering on the heel part 30, the exchange part is in a wide range. FIG. 6B is an explanatory view of attachment of the lesion model portion 110 of the heel 30. The lesion model portion 110 is provided with an attachment shaft 96 and can be fitted into the attachment hole 45 of the foot body model 40.

The buttocks 30 may be practiced for foot care with the sole 20 facing upward. Since the foot main body model 40 is connected to the free arm 62 as shown in FIG. 7, the angle can be arbitrarily set, and the sole 20 can be easily brought up. In this way, practical practice is possible.
<Third embodiment>

  The foot care practice device 3 according to the third embodiment is an example in which the fifth toe model 58 is detachable as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the fifth toe model 58 can be practiced in the same manner as described in the foot care practice device 1.

The toe model that can be attached and detached and replaced is not limited to the first toe model 50 or the fifth toe model 58, and other toe models 52, 54, and 56 are also possible. Moreover, various combinations can be considered according to the purpose, such as making adjacent footpad models detachable at the same time, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. In these examples, as in the first example, the foot care practice suitable for each toe can be repeated.
<Fourth embodiment>

  As a fourth embodiment, a foot care practice device 4 for intercostal ringworm is shown in FIG. Intercostal ringworm is a lesion that occurs between adjacent footpads, and a lesion is present at the center of the base of the footpad. Even in such a case, it can be set as the exchange parts 120 and 122 which can attach or detach a part of a foot main body model and a toe model centering on the lesion model parts 121 and 123. FIG. FIG. 9A is a specific example in which the intercostal ringworm model 121 is implemented as a foot body model, and FIG. 9B shows the attachment / detachment state of the replacement parts 120 and 122 of the intercostal ringworm model.

The foot care for intercostal ringworm mainly applies medicines and sandwiches gauze so that the footpads do not touch each other. For this reason, the practice of applying the medicine to the intercostal ringworm model part and sandwiching the gauze is repeated, but prepare several exchanges and practice while exchanging. Drugs applied to the intercostal ringworm model can be removed later and reused. With this practice method, you can practice foot care repeatedly.
<Fifth embodiment>

  As an embodiment of the present invention, the practice of fixing the toes or attaching the skin lesion model is not limited to the shape imitating the shape of the foot, and at least one toe model is simulated. It can be attached to and detached from a typical foot body model, and can be attached to a simple rectangular parallelepiped shape, for example. This is because in the foot care practice for a lesioned nail, it is only necessary that the toe model to which the lesioned nail model is attached is fixed, and it is not always necessary to be a body model imitating the foot shape.

  As mentioned above, although demonstrated using embodiment of this invention, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment.
