Diseases that require gait rehabilitation are often due to rheumatism, diabetes, osteoarthritis, cerebrovascular disorders, etc., but the symptoms are greatly improved by muscle training, walking training from a hemiplegic state, and the like. Since more than half of these patients are caused by cerebrovascular disorders, there is an urgent need to provide rehabilitation shoes that are primarily targeted at the layer of cerebrovascular disorders.
In walking rehabilitation, the patient recovers sequentially through the process of using a wheelchair, a long leg brace, and a short leg brace. In this process, it is often necessary to rehabilitate wearing shoes while wearing a lower limb orthosis. The basic requirements for being used as a rehabilitation shoe are (1) easy to wear off, (2) stable heels, (3) toe protection, and , (4) not clunky, (5) long lasting, (6) foot size is required. However, at present, these requirements cannot be said to be sufficiently satisfied.
The present invention provides a rehabilitation shoe that satisfies the above-mentioned requirements (1) and (6), and can stably hold an opening when the shoe is taken off and put on. The present invention provides a rehabilitation shoe that can be adjusted according to the size of a foot wearing a footwear or a foot that no longer requires a brace. The first shoes we put on when starting a rehabilitation life are large, and even if we are dissatisfied with these shoes, we often keep wearing them without changing to other shoes. Therefore, it is important to provide excellent rehabilitation shoes from the beginning in order to continuously recover rehabilitation over a long period of time.

Tongues for opening and removing shoes are easy to wear, but especially when wearing shoes, the tongue works well when the tongue flaps under the foot or the tongue twists. I often encounter things I can't wear. In particular, it is often difficult to put on and take off with one hand. The present invention facilitates the attachment / detachment of a shoe with one hand by allowing the tongue valve of the shoe to be fixed upward.
The present invention is further devised so that it can be used for rehabilitation immediately after acquisition. That is, in rehabilitation shoes, it is often the case that the length of a fastening belt is different between a foot shoe with a device such as a prosthesis and a foot shoe without a device. If it does so, it will be necessary to adjust the length of the fastening belt of a right and left shoe according to each leg, and in order to adjust the length of such a fastening belt, it is often necessary to place a processing order once. Then, the start of rehabilitation may be postponed to obtain a fastening belt. In the present invention, the extension belt is attached to both the right and left shoes so that the rehabilitation can be started immediately after obtaining the rehabilitation shoes, and the fastening belt or the fastening piece can be easily extended by using the hook-and-loop fastener. It becomes a very excellent rehabilitation shoe by adopting it together with a mechanism for stably holding the opening.

Details of the present invention including a mechanism for holding the tongue piece upward and a fastening belt adjusting mechanism will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 5 shows the appearance of the rehabilitation shoe of the present invention. This rehabilitation shoe is a fastening belt 5 composed of a shell 1, a bottom member 2, a belt 3 and a fastening piece 4, and the length of the fastening belt 5 is simplified. It is possible to adjust, and the lower limb orthosis can be easily attached in a short time, and excellent comfort can be provided regardless of the form of the orthosis or the presence or absence of the orthosis.

A fastening belt 5 including a belt 3 and a fastening piece 4 passes above the tongue piece 6 and connects one of the upper shells to the other of the upper shells, so that the foot is firmly fixed to enable stable walking. In the central part of the tongue piece 6, an appropriately stretchable fabric 62 is interposed in the longitudinal direction. The 62 stretch fabric can be a polyester mesh fabric of the upper. Since the tongue piece 6 can be stretched left and right by the stretchable area 62 at the center portion, the stretchable area 62 can be properly stretched even if the instep edge is pushed and expanded on both sides of the brace, and the foot can be worn comfortably. Even if it is high, you can wear it without difficulty.
In FIG. 6, the structure of the member fixed by the fastening belt 5 is shown. One end of the belt 3 is firmly fixed to the upper 1, the other is a free end, and a hook-and-loop fastener 31 is provided at the tip. There is a portion where the hook-and-loop fastener 31 is not provided at the front end of the belt 3 to facilitate attachment / detachment with a finger. A hook-and-loop fastener 41 is provided on the front surface of the detachable piece 4 and can be engaged with the hook-and-loop fastener 31 of the belt 3 to enable a strong connection. By appropriately adjusting the engagement positions of the hook-and-loop fasteners 31 and 41, the belt 3 can be substantially extended by the fastening piece 4, so that the length of the fastening belt 5 can be changed. A hook-and-loop fastener 42 is also provided on the back surface of the fastening piece 4 to engage with the hook-and-loop fastener 11 disposed on the upper 1 so that the foot can be comfortably stopped on the shoe. The wearing state of the shoe can be finely adjusted by changing the engagement position of the hook-and-loop fastener 11 of the upper shell 1 and the hook-and-loop fastener 42 of the fastening piece 4. The hook-and-loop piece 42 can be held upward by engaging the hook-and-loop fastener 42 of the fastening piece 4 with a hook-and-loop fastener 61 (not shown in FIG. 6) provided on the tongue piece 6.
FIG. 7 shows the appearance of a rehabilitation shoe engaged with the belt 3 and the fastening piece 4 shifted in position, and is fastened by a length that allows the surface fastener 41 installed on the surface of the fastening piece 4 to be partially seen. The belt 5 is extended.

  The appearance at the time of wearing can be made preferable by making the shape of the open front end portion of the belt 3 similar to or coincident with the shape of the front end portion of the fastening piece 4. . The fastening belt 5 is preferably made of a material that has high flexibility and strength and can retain its shape. However, in order to firmly attach the shoe and to prevent the belt from being damaged, a hook-and-loop fastener is provided. It is preferable that the notch 32 is provided in the vicinity of the center of the belt when it is made relatively wide or when the material of the fastening belt 5 lacks flexibility. By making the shape of the tip portion of the belt 3 and the shape of the tip portion of the fastening piece 4 similar or coincident with each other, the appearance at the time of wearing can be made preferable.

  Although it is mainly assumed that the lower limb orthosis is used when the rehabilitation shoes are worn, this orthosis has a shape as shown in FIG. 8 (2), for example. When the lower limb orthosis is worn, the part A where the upper leg is likely to be pressured is easily damaged in the part where the foot width is wide (FIG. 8 (3)), and the part B which is rubbed by the metal part attached to the orthosis or the heel part of the orthosis, etc. Since it is unavoidable that the inner surface of the shoe is damaged (FIG. 8 (1)), it is possible to make the shoe last longer by attaching reinforcing materials (A and B in FIG. 8 (4)) to these portions. Rather than avoiding damage to the entire upper by using a strong material, it is possible to reinforce the air permeability of the upper mesh without impairing it by providing a reinforcing material at a necessary portion.

The use of lower limb attachments tends to make the overall appearance of the shoes uncomfortable, reducing the motivation to continue rehabilitation, and making it impossible to wear ordinary shoes. However, it is important to emphasize the appearance. Since widening the width of the shoe impairs the appearance of the shoe, rehabilitation shoes should not have the space required to wear the shoe, but should be deepened vertically (widening the last width). It is preferable to solve the problem by increasing the thickness without using a method. Damage to the inner surface of the shoe due to the brace of the lower limb orthosis is solved by the reinforcing material.
When obtaining a pair of left and right shoes having the structure of the present invention, adjust the size of the shoe to the foot with the lower limb orthosis, and adjust the height by combining the cup insole and heel with the shoe without the lower limb orthosis By doing so, the height of the left and right shoes is the same. As a result, it is possible to obtain smart shoes that are easy to walk and have the same left and right appearance.

A heel counter 7, which is a core material for wrapping the heel and holding it as a whole, is formed on the heel of the shoe. By configuring the heel counter 7 with a hard member, it is possible to suppress the displacement of the sole plate and to prevent the footwear from being twisted. By the way, when an elderly person or the like wears footwear whose bottom portion is excellent in flexibility, the outside of the shoe may sink due to its own weight and the foot may be varnished. In the rehabilitation shoe according to the present invention, the heel counter 7 receives the weight of the heel counter 7 and supports it firmly, so that the tip 71 of the heel counter 7 is extended to the arch of the arch in order to prevent varus. The upper part of the heel is provided with a loop that allows the fingers of the hand to enter sufficiently, and when worn, the elderly and disabled people can easily insert the fingers of the hand and pull up the heel of the footwear to facilitate wearing. (FIG. 9).
The upper part of the heel is provided with a loop that allows the fingers of the hand to enter sufficiently, and when worn, the elderly and disabled people can easily insert the fingers of the hand and pull up the heel of the footwear to facilitate wearing. Yes.

  The rehabilitation shoes of the present invention are suitable for elderly people and disabled people, but provide footwear for all lower limb orthosis users regardless of age or gender. In particular, it is easy to put on shoes with one hand by preventing the trouble caused by the tongue piece being positioned downward when wearing shoes, and improving the fastening belt of the shoes. The present invention which can provide a certain rehabilitation shoe and can perform rehabilitation by putting on the rehabilitation shoe immediately after acquisition, and a smart appearance (appearance solved by increasing the thickness without expanding the last width) The motivation to achieve rehabilitation is improved by wearing the rehabilitation shoes. By using the rehabilitation shoes of the present invention, the rehabilitation can be completed and the recovery rate can be greatly improved.
