Description

  The present invention relates to a pair of O-leg straightening devices that are formed symmetrically in a bilaterally symmetrical manner, and more specifically, an indoor O-leg straightening device having a simple structure suitable mainly for indoor use. It is about.

  Conventionally, as an O leg correction device developed assuming use indoors, the toe portions of a pair of foot orthoses worn on both feet of the user are connected, and the toe portion side connecting member is There is an O-leg straightening device that is configured to be rotatable around a hip (see Patent Document 1). Also, a pair of socks and socks have been proposed as correction footwear formed in an inclined shape so that the inner bottom surface of each of the left and right bottoms gradually decreases from the outer end toward the inner end (Patent Document 2). reference).

  However, the above-described invention of Patent Document 1 has a drawback that the toe portions are connected to each other, so that the person to be corrected cannot walk freely in the room, and the invention of Patent Document 2 described above is an O-leg correction device. Since tabi socks and socks are assumed, the corrective person who uses these socks and socks purchases expensive socks and socks with a correction function every time they discard socks or socks that are frequently damaged or soiled. In addition, there is a serious problem in that it is necessary to always prepare at least two feet in order to always use hygiene by washing socks and socks.

  Therefore, at the current general treatment site etc., the orthosis main body is formed by covering the bottom member provided in an inclined shape that gradually decreases from the outer end toward the inner end with a cloth or leather. However, an O-leg correction device that is attached to the sole of the person to be corrected using a locking band or the like attached to the device body is widely used.

  However, when using orthodontic appliances that are widely used in the above-mentioned treatment sites and the like, the corrective person walks because the material of the part in contact with the inner side surface of the foot is formed of a flexible cloth material or the like. Each time, the foot slips out of the inclined bottom member inward, and there is a risk that the knee joint may sway laterally, resulting in worsening of the medical condition or injury due to falling. In addition, because the locking band to be used is provided with flexibility and the bottom member is also formed of a semi-rigid sponge or the like, when the locking band or the like is pulled toward the back of the foot and locked, the bottom member There is also a drawback in that the bottom surface of the plate becomes round and the correction effect decreases.

In addition, it is intended to provide an indoor O-leg straightening device that further improves the straightening effect of the O-leg by giving a flat surface holding function to prevent the bottom surface after the straightening device from being rounded. is there.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides the following technical means.
That is, the present invention described in claim 1 is a bottom member that is formed in an inclined shape that gradually decreases from the outer end portion toward the inner end portion, and whose longitudinal direction is shorter than the total length of the human foot sole. A pair of left and right O-legs that are fixed to a separately provided substrate to form a device body, and the device body covered with the covering material is attached to the soles of the feet via the locking means. In the orthodontic appliance, the substrate described above has a bottom member support portion (hereinafter, simply referred to as a support portion) formed substantially in the same shape as the bottom surface of the bottom member, and an inner end portion of the support portion from the inner end portion of the foot. An indoor O-leg straightening device comprising a standing portion that rises gently along an inner surface.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the above-mentioned standing portion of the substrate is formed in a slightly concave shape in accordance with the shape of the arch of the foot, and the area of the front half portion is large and is gentle toward the rear. It is formed in the curved shape which inclines while drawing an circular arc, The indoor O leg correction appliance of Claim 1 characterized by the above-mentioned.

  The O-leg straightening device for indoor use according to the present invention prevents the foot of the person to be corrected from slipping inwardly on the brace body formed in an inclined shape that gradually decreases from the outer end toward the inner end. Because it has a stopper function to prevent the bottom part from being rounded during use, a constant correction force can always be applied to the knee joint, and as a result In addition to being able to obtain a corrective effect on the O-leg, it is possible to prevent injuries and the like caused by a fall.

  Further, the indoor O-leg straightening device according to the present invention has a length in the longitudinal direction slightly shorter than the full length of the sole (specifically, about two-thirds of the full length of the sole). There is an advantage in that it is possible to use a device having the same shape even when used by a correction subject having a slightly different size, and the present invention product has a device body composed of a bottom member and a substrate, a locking band. Since it has a simple structure including only locking means such as the above, there is a notable advantage that it can be produced at a very low cost.

  Furthermore, since the product of the present invention is formed in a thin and simple shape, it is not exclusively for indoor use, but even when shoes for correction are worn slightly larger than those used on a daily basis. It can be used, and has an advantage that an extremely remarkable correction effect can be obtained by always wearing it except for bathing or sleeping.

It has become.

Next, the appliance main body 1 will be described.
The orthosis body 1 is composed of a bottom member 10 on which a foot of a person to be corrected is placed and a substrate 20 fixed to the lower surface of the bottom member 10, both of which have a longitudinal dimension of the sole. It is formed so as to be approximately two-thirds of the total length. Therefore, when the orthodontic appliance of the present invention is attached to the sole, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the part extending from the portion called the little ball or the thumb ball of the sole to the fingertip is exposed. The part is in a form of directly contacting the floor or tatami.

  The bottom member 10 shown in FIG. 2 is formed using a semi-rigid sponge, silicon rubber, or the like. From the outer end 11 formed at a height of about 3 mm to 15 mm, the inner end on the opposite side is formed. 12 is provided in an inclined shape that gradually decreases toward 12. In this case, the thickness in the vicinity of the inner end portion 12 and the thickness in the vicinity of the front end portion 13 formed in a substantially linear shape are formed in a very thin plate shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer end portion 11 is provided with an inclined shape such that the latter half is slightly thicker and becomes thinner as it advances forward, and as shown in FIG. It protrudes outward, and the lowermost part is formed in an inclined shape so as to overlap with an outer end portion of the substrate 20 described later.

Next, the board | substrate 20 is demonstrated based on FIGS. 1-3 and FIG.
The substrate 20 is formed of a thin semi-rigid plastic or the like, and has a support portion 21 formed substantially the same as the bottom shape of the bottom member 10 described above, and extends from the support portion 21 and rises gently. The standing portion 22 has a shape that is integrally formed with no joint.

  The support part 21 responsible for the flat surface holding function of the bottom part of the orthosis body 1 is formed in a substantially flat shoehorn shape, and the front-rear direction boundary with the standing part 22 in FIG. It is provided in a slightly divergent shape toward the part.
