Description

  By wearing a sock or toe cover, the present invention naturally enhances the kicking force of the foot during walking, prevents deterioration centered on the foot, and prevents foot toe such as buoyancy, extension foot, hallux valgus, etc. The present invention relates to health socks and toe covers that are effective in preventing and correcting abnormalities.

In addition to the functional aspect of moving the body, walking plays an important role in maintaining health, such as strengthening the muscles around the legs and improving blood circulation.
Blood is pumped all over the body by a pump called the heart, supplying oxygen and nutrients necessary for cell division, collecting carbon dioxide and waste products, and repeating the circulation that returns to the heart.
However, because the foot is far away from the heart and is subjected to gravity, it is not enough to pump blood back by the pressure of the heart pump alone. is there.
There are two-thirds of the total muscle from the waist down, and venous blood capillaries are integrated into the muscle. As the foot walks, muscles such as the foot, calf, and thigh are repeatedly expanded and contracted, so that blood in the foot and leg is pushed up toward the vein with the valve for preventing backflow. This is called “Milking Action”, and the pumping action similar to this heart is the reason why “the foot is the second heart”.
In addition, the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves of the feet are intimately connected to the brain and various internal organs, and this is stimulated by walking to promote physical and mental health.
In order to enhance the effect of walking, the balance of walking from landing to kicking out is important, and the toes play an important function in the balance of walking and kicking out.
A person with normal soles walks with the entire sole of `` (1) heel, (2) base of footpad, (3) tiptoe '', but a person with weak power to kick at the tip of the toe has a center of gravity. It moves to the side of the heel (1) 踵, (2) It becomes a two-point walking only at the base of the toes, so-called sliding feet, and the muscular strength declines because it becomes a posture that does not use the toes more during walking. The kite floats. This is called floating.
When it becomes buoyant, the toes of the toes will not be able to stand, so it becomes unstable walking balance, and trying to compensate for it upward will put extra burden on the legs, legs, neck, etc., pain in each part etc. Causes various symptoms.

The following three arches are formed on the sole of a human foot walking with two legs so that it can bear the whole weight and endure it so as to concentrate on walking and running (see FIG. 8).
(1) Between heel and base of thumb (thumb): inner longitudinal arch (2) Between heel and root of small heel (little finger): Outer longitudinal arch (3) Base and small heel of thumb (thumb) Between the bases of the little fingers): transverse arches Each arch is made up of muscles and ligaments and plays an important role as follows. -Force to kick out the foot (spring)
・ Absorption of shock and burden ・ Protection of muscles of the sole, blood vessels, nerves, etc. When the lateral arch is lowered, the metatarsal bone opens like a fan and spreads laterally. It can also cause hallux valgus and hallux valgus. In addition, the force of the spring that kicks out the foot is weakened, and the balance of the body is lost, increasing the burden on the foot and the body. When the vertical arch is lowered, it becomes a flat foot.
Causes of open legs include inheritance, lack of exercise, and shoes that do not fit the foot, but fundamentally, the heel tilts inward or outward, causing clubfoot or clubfoot. When the upright leg is viewed from behind, the state where the Achilles tendon is tilted inward with respect to the ground is called a valgus foot, and the state where it is tilted outward is called the club foot. About 70% of Japanese people are said to have clubfoot symptoms.
The muscles are strengthened by extending and contracting with a load of weight, but when the kicking of the foot becomes weak, the muscles of the sole and lower limbs can not actively expand and contract, degenerate, further reducing the above arch, It becomes an open leg and a flat leg.
When walking while wearing shoes, the sock and the inner surface of the shoe slip, so that the kicking force of the toes during walking tends to be further weakened.
In order to improve the open leg, strengthening the toe grip muscle strength is effective, and footpad training such as “towel grasping”, which uses a toe to grab a towel on the sole of the foot, is recommended. Is limited.

  The invention of Patent Document 1 below has been proposed as a sock that mainly corrects or prevents hallux valgus.

Japanese Patent No. 2539174
