Description

  The present invention relates to a lower body garment that prevents and reduces knee pain by wearing, and relates to a lower body garment that can support strengthening muscle strength while stabilizing the lower body.

In middle and old age, many people experience knee pain. As for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee often seen in middle-aged and elderly people, conservative therapy and surgical therapy can be mentioned as treatment methods. However, for mild pain, it is important to aim at stabilization of the knee as well as alleviation of the pain by the brace. Accordingly, there is a need for clothing that can be easily worn and moved, and that can be used for lower-body clothing that can stabilize the lower limbs during daily operations and strengthen muscle strength.
Taping is performed as one of the means to stabilize joints and strengthen muscles, but taping is usually performed directly on the target body part, but it is taped on the body from the worn clothing It is also conceivable to fix the clothing and the tape together in advance.

  As a long girdle having a taping function, it passes from the heel outer side of the waist part to the outer thigh part, passes through the upper part of the patella, reaches the knee part inside the thigh part, and crosses the outer belt-like piece. A device located at the front center and having the same effect as the taping treatment is known (Patent Document 1). In addition, there is also proposed a clothing with a supporter for reinforcing muscles or maintaining muscle strength by providing supporter bands along the left and right leg parts by sewing or bonding while continuously intersecting from the waist part (Patent Document 2). . Furthermore, it has also been proposed to provide a linear expansion / contraction suppression line that hardly expands or contracts in sports clothes (Patent Document 3).

  These conventional lower body garments are intended for those who have normal muscle strength and those who do sports, and are intended to reinforce muscles, and are easily worn by elderly people during daily walking There is no known clothing that can stabilize the movement during walking, and can strengthen the leg strength by comfortably adding resistance to the leg.

  It is known that the muscle strength of the quadriceps is low particularly in women and decreases with age, and thus knee osteoarthritis develops and causes pain in the knee. Walking is suitable for maintaining the strength of the quadriceps, and many people are walking to maintain their health. Whole body exercise such as walking has the effect of maintaining / promoting respiratory circulation function, burning excess fat, forcing the muscles of the legs without difficulty, maintaining / improving endurance of the whole body, and reducing excess fat.

  Therefore, the present inventor is not only able to obtain effects when walking, including elderly people, but also is easy to wear and easy to move, such as spats, and is worn daily. The aim was to obtain clothing that fits the lower body without disturbing daily movements. In addition, when walking while wearing the lower body clothing according to the present invention, in order to resist the quadriceps muscles when stretching the knee during walking, We developed clothing for the lower body that can strengthen the leg strength by applying tension to the half-tendon half-pattern muscle and the biceps femoris and applying resistance during knee extension.

  The present invention is a lower body garment body having a muscular strength strengthening function formed of an elastic fabric or knitted fabric, and the reverse of the lower body garment from the lower waist to the lower hem of the lower body garment. V-shaped taping lines with high elasticity were formed at the center of the left and right thighs, respectively. Also, in the front body, an oblique taping line having a large stretchability was formed across the front of the left and right thighs from below the waist on the left and right sides to reach the inseam line. In the back of the lower body clothing, a slanted taping line is provided from the lower part of the waist on the left and right side lines to the crotch along the lower part of the lower body buttock. The apex of the taping line was provided on a diagonal taping line that reached the crotch along the lower part of the lower half of the body.

  In addition, on the front body of the lower body clothing, diagonally taping lines that extend diagonally from the bottom of the waist on the left and right sides to the lower leg and across the front of the left and right thighs and on the front of the left and right thighs Each was formed. A diagonal taping line that extends from the lower waist of the left and right side lines to the crotch along the abdomen and across the front of the left and right thighs and the upper end of the diagonally elastic taping line that extends to the inseam crotch line is below the abdomen. It was provided on an oblique line taping line.

  In addition, in order to give the abdomen and waist stability and holding function, in the front body of the lower body clothing, a diagonal taping line extending from the lower waist of the left and right side lines to the crotch along the lower body abdomen is provided. In the back of the garment, a diagonal taping line was provided from the lower part of the waist on the left and right side lines to the crotch along the lower part of the lower body. Further, as described above, the apex of the inverted V-shaped taping line having a large elasticity that is formed at the center of the left and right thighs and that faces the lower hem of the lower body garment is positioned on the oblique taping line. In addition, the upper end of the diagonally large taping line that traverses the front surfaces of the left and right thighs and reaches the inseam crotch line is provided on the oblique line taping line that extends under the lower body abdomen. On the other hand, a vertical taping line that extends from the lower waist to the hem along the side line on the left and right side lines of the lower body clothing and a vertical taping line that extends to the hem along the left and right inseam lines of the lower body clothing are formed. Configured to keep the body upright

  Wearing lower-body clothing according to the present invention, walking and walking, with a reverse V-shaped taping line structure on the back side of the thigh, resists when knees are stretched or legs are raised With this, the load on the quadriceps muscle, which is the muscle on the front of the thigh, is easily applied, and the strength of the leg on the thigh and front is supported. In addition, because of the diagonal taping line structure on the front of the thigh, the muscles called hamstrings, consisting of the biceps femoris, the semi-tendon-like muscle, and the semi-membranous muscle, which are antagonistic muscles of the quadriceps during walking By applying resistance to the knee and bending the knee, resistance can be strengthened in the thighs and rear legs, stabilizing the knee during walking, and preventing the outer instability of the knee.

  The clothing for the lower body of the present invention has few seams such as sewing, is light and soft, fits the body without interfering with daily activities, and wears from daily life, so it takes an appropriate load in everyday walking and stair climbing In everyday life, it supports the strengthening of the lower body and psoas muscles, and by having an appropriate elasticity, you can exercise just by wearing. In addition, by wearing it during sports activities, it can be expected that the muscle strength will be further reinforced by efficiently applying a load during walking, running, and training.

  The product of the present invention supports the strength enhancement of the lower body by a unique taping line structure. Due to the inverted V-shaped taping line structure on the back side of the thigh, the quadriceps muscle, which is the muscle on the front of the thigh, is added, and resistance is added when stretching the knees and swinging up the feet in the walking area. Supports strengthening of thigh and front leg muscle strength.

It is explanatory drawing which shows the taping line of the front body of clothing for lower body of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the taping line of the lower body clothes back body of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the taping line of the clothing for lower body of this invention left side. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing taping lines provided on the front body half and the back body half around the side lines of the lower body clothing of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. It is a figure which shows an example of the knitting structure | tissue which has a stretching property which is a figure which shows the knitting structure | tissue which has large elasticity. It is a figure which shows an example of the knitting structure | tissue which has a little less elasticity than the knitted fabric of FIG. It is a figure which shows an example of the knitting structure | tissue which has still less elasticity than the knitted fabric of FIG.

  The front body 1 of the lower body garment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, the back body 2 is shown in FIG. 2, and the left side is shown in FIG. The front body 1 and the back body 2 are preferably knitted continuously. In the illustrated example, the garment of the present invention is formed by continuously knitting the leg portion 6 and the waist portion 11 into a cylindrical shape, incising one side edge of the waist portion 11 in the longitudinal direction, and two cylindrical bodies on the left and right sides at the incision edge. And a crotch cloth 5a is provided in the crotch part 5 corresponding to the joint part of the both leg parts 6 as required, and the sewn parts of the body fabric are only the front and back body centers of the waist part 11 and the crotch part 5a. Yes. The waistline 3 of the front body 1 and the back body 2 is fitted to the wearer's body by sewing an upper belt 4 having an arbitrary tightening force or inserting a string-like member as a bag. It is preferable to sew a crotch cloth 5a on the crotch part 5 that spans the front body 1 and the back body 2. A hem opening 8 is provided below the leg 6. The bottom end 8 is processed by a conventional method such as sewing an elastic cloth or inserting an elastic tape. As clothing according to the present invention, clothing called spats having a length up to a short ankle upper portion is mainly intended, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  One feature of the garment of the present invention is that it has an inverted V-shaped taping line 9 in which two lines 9a and 9b are arranged in an inverted V shape on each leg 6 of the back body 2. That is, in the rear body 2 of the leg portion 6, the heel lower edge taping line 13 extending from the side waist portion 11 a below the waist line 3 to the crotch portion 5 along the lower edge 12 a of the heel portion 12 is provided on the left and right side lines 10, 10. . The taping line 13 has a higher elongation resistance than the fabric of the body fabric portion 7 of the garment of the present invention and has a low degree of stretch of the knitted fabric under the unit tensile force, as with the taping lines described later. It is said. The apex 14 of the inverted V-shaped taping line 9 is preferably provided on the buttock lower edge taping line 13. It is important that the inverted V-shaped taping line 9 having the apex 14 at the lower edge of the flange 12 and the two lines 9a and 9b toward the lower hem 8 is provided below the waist of the back body. However, it is not limited to be provided on the buttock lower edge taping line 13. The inverted V-shaped taping line 9 is formed by knitting or other means so as to have the greatest stretch resistance in the lower body garment according to the present invention. The inverted V-shaped taping line 9 applies a load to the thigh and front muscles (quadriceps), and when resistance is applied when stretching the knees or swinging up the legs during walking, Supports strength strengthening. Moreover, it has the effect of raising the muscle of the wearer's buttocks 12 upward and maintaining the posture correctly.

  On the other hand, the front body 1 of the lower body garment has a function of holding the abdomen 15, so that it reaches the crotch crotch cloth 5a along the lower peripheral edge of the abdomen 15 from below the waist line 3 on the left and right side lines 10, 10. An abdomen lower edge taping line 16 is provided along the lower edge of the abdomen 15. The elongation resistance of this taping line is the same as that of the collar lower edge taping line 13. Then, an oblique front taping line 18 is provided on the abdomen lower edge taping line 16, crossing the front of the thigh of the front body 1 from a position close to the left and right side lines 10, 10 and reaching the crotch line 17. The oblique front taping line 18 is inferior in stretch resistance to the inverted V-shaped taping line 9 provided in the back body 2, but seems to have greater stretch resistance than the buttock lower edge taping line 13 and the abdomen lower edge taping line 16. Formed by knitting or the like. The oblique front taping line 18 adds strength to the thigh and rear muscles, and adds resistance when the knee is bent to support strengthening of thigh and rear muscle strength.

  Furthermore, in addition to the structure of the lower body garment, an auxiliary taping line that acts as a fulcrum for supporting each taping line when the lower body garment is worn can be provided on the side surface of the lower body garment. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, from the central part of the waist line 3 of the front body 1 to the intersection 21 on the side line 10, and from the central part of the waist line 3 of the back body 2 to the other side line 10 An auxiliary taping line 19 and an auxiliary taping line 20 that connect between the intersections 21 on the side line 10 from the waist line 3 are provided across the area 21, and both the taping lines 19, 20 intersect on the left and right side lines 10, 10. By providing the intersection 21 as a fulcrum of the taping lines 13, 16, 18 and 22, the role of exercise during walking is given, and a more reliable and stable force is given to the muscle. A better reinforcing effect can be exhibited.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a side line taping line 22 on the side part of the clothing for the lower body along the side line 10 from the intersection 21 to the hem 8 with the intersection 21 as a fulcrum. It is preferable to provide an inseam taping line 23 on the inseam line 17 as well. In addition, the auxiliary taping lines 19 and 20 which go to the diagonally both sides of the waist front body and back body are provided continuously as an extension of the taping lines 13 and 16.

  As described above, the lower body garment of the present invention is provided with several taping lines, and each taping line cooperates to support and tighten muscles. For reference, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing taping lines provided on the half of the front body 1 and the half of the back body 2 around the side line 10 of the lower body clothing of the present invention. For each taping line, it is desirable to appropriately select and consider the stretch resistance and tightening force of the line portion. In this respect, the description of FIG. 4 will be referred to. That is, the taping line has an elongation resistance that the inverted V-shaped taping line 9 has the least elongation per unit load, that is, is not easily stretched. The line and crotch taping lines 22 and 23 have a moderate elongation resistance, and the least are the abdominal lower edge and the buttocks lower edge taping lines 16 and 13.

  The knitting yarn used for knitting the lower body clothing of the present invention is not particularly limited, but polyurethane fiber can be used as the core yarn, and nylon, cotton, urethane mixed yarn, etc. can be used as the covering yarn. The basic knitted fabric portion (body knitted portion) of the front body and the back body of the lower body garment can be knitted with flat knitted fabric, and the tightening tissue portion can be knitted with float stitch (floating knitting). In the float stitch, in the weft knitted fabric, a loop is not formed at a predetermined mesh portion, and the knitting yarn of this portion is floated on the back of the knitted fabric to perform knitting. By using this structure, the yarn floating on one side cannot afford to expand and contract, so that the knitted fabric has poor stretchability and the tightening force of the knitted fabric is increased. In the float structure shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the knitted fabric of FIG. 6 is the least stretchable and has high tightening properties under a predetermined load. However, the knitted fabric of FIGS. 5 and 4 has the number of float stitches. By reducing, easy stretchability can be set as appropriate.

In the case of spats using a cut-and-sew, a taping line can be formed on the base fabric by printing, and the spats can be made difficult to extend. For example, if the stretchability of the base fabric is 200% (when 10 cm extends to 20 cm), the stretchability of the printed portion can be set between 120% and 190%.
As a tightening tissue portion made of a knitted fabric having a tightening force, a thread having a higher elasticity than the knitted fabric is inserted by a conventional method, or a cloth material having a tightening force from the knitted fabric is stitched or bonded to tighten this portion. It is also possible to form a taping portion having a high tightening force by means such as increasing the tension.

  As the tightening tissue portions 10 and 10 made of a knitted fabric having a tightening force, a thread having a higher elasticity than the knitted fabric is inserted by a conventional method, and a cloth material having a tightening force from the knitted fabric is sewn or bonded. The portion having the tightening force can be formed by means such as increasing the tightening force.

  Muscle strength and motor reflex function that maintain the dynamic stability of joints decline with age. This muscle atrophy results in knee osteoarthritis that causes pain in the knee joint. In the back body of the spats of the present invention, wear appropriate clothing for lower body wearing a tightening tissue part, and when kicking the leg forward during walking, the gluteus, quadriceps and hamstrings By giving moderate addition to the muscles of the thigh, muscle atrophy can be prevented and the onset of knee osteoarthritis can be suppressed.

  The lower body garment of the present invention is seamless except for the buttocks and the center of the abdomen, has a simple structure, is light and soft, and fits the body without disturbing daily operations. Moreover, it is possible to walk while wearing lower body clothing according to the present invention, strengthening leg strength by applying resistance to the leg when the knee is extended, and preventing or suppressing the onset of knee osteoarthritis. .
