Description

The present invention relates to a device for preventing and correcting hallux valgus or varus little finger.

Hallux valgus is a type of deformation of the thumb of the foot, and by putting on footwear that has no room to the front, the thumb of the thumb can bend and stick to the adjacent second finger, and the base of the thumb The joints project outward. This joint deformity is accompanied by severe pain. In addition, the varus little finger is a kind of deformation of the little finger of the foot, and the tip of the little finger may bend toward the adjacent fourth finger, causing pain similar to that of the hallux valgus. If the hallux valgus and varus finger become severe, pain is felt at the base joint of the thumb and little finger even when walking on bare feet without footwear. In addition, an unnatural walking posture such as covering a leg tends to occur, and this posture is said to cause knee and lower back pain.

Therefore, various valgus supporters, tapes, and the like have been conventionally proposed and commercially available to prevent and correct valgus and varus varus. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-196558 discloses a method for correcting hallux valgus. FIG. 7 shows an invention relating to a preventive tape bun. Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3085439 is an invention relating to a cross-shaped hallux valgus and a band for reducing and eliminating a foot disorder, which is shown in FIG.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a preventive and corrective supporter for hallux valgus or varus valgus, which prevents or corrects deformation of the toes and little fingers of the toes, relieves pain when wearing bare feet or footwear and does not give a stiff feeling when worn. Is to do.

The present invention provides a little finger ring 3 to be worn on the little finger of the foot and a thumb ring 4 to be worn on the thumb. From the little finger wearing part, it passes through the back of the foot, and is wound around the instep from the outside side surface. The other end is fixed to the thumb wheel 4 which is crossed on the sole from the outer side surface and is attached to the thumb. It is a supporter for the prevention and correction of hallux valgus or varus little finger, which is wholly or partially elastic.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the thumb ring 4 for wearing the thumb and the little ring 3 for wearing the little finger have a width corresponding to the size of each foot. The material constituting the thumb wheel 4, the little finger wheel 3 or the supporter may be a knitted fabric, a woven fabric or a film, a material having elasticity, or a material having all or part of elasticity. Is also good. Specific examples include a knitted piece and a woven rubber using a polyurethane system. The color is desirably a color close to the skin, but is not limited to this color. It is also desirable to have air permeability.

The supporter 1 in the present invention has one end fixed to the little finger ring 3 and is wound around the instep from below the first metatarsal of the sole, from below the metatarsal ligament of the sole from the outer side, The other end is fixed to the thumb wheel 4 by crossing the above. The supporter 1 is entirely or partially elastic.

Part or the whole of the little finger ring 3 is as shown in FIG. Examples of the supporter material include, but are not limited to, tapes or ribbons such as knitted or woven fabrics of natural or synthetic fibers, synthetic resins, and film pieces. Examples of the elastic material include a household rubber cord material and various elastomer materials. As a specific example, a woven rubber is provided in a substantially conventional manner by providing an elastic portion (for example, a rubber string) almost entirely. The supporter preferably has a width close to the side length of the thumb or the little finger, and more specifically, a width of about 2 cm to 3.5 cm.

The effect of the invention

The supporter in the present invention pulls and opens the thumb 8 and the little finger 9 from the point where the thumb ring 4 and the little finger ring 3 are wound around the instep, or the first metatarsal, the second metatarsal and the second metatarsal of the instep. The metatarsal bone is tightened, the metatarsal ligament opens the loosened foot and toe, and the action of restoring works. In addition, since it is a special mounting method, the weight is dispersed and supported, and the burden on the foot is reduced. It is easy to put on and take off, has good texture, is easy to clean, has excellent durability, and is lightweight, compact and portable.
