[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a valgus ball correction support for correcting the hallux valgus deformed by bending the toe of the foot to the side of the second toe to restore the normal state.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The hallux valgus means that the thumb 1 is bent and deformed toward the second finger 2 as shown in FIG.

This is because the lateral metatarsal ligament 3 is loosened, the metatarsophalangeal joint 4 is opened, and as a result, the thumb 1 is folded toward the second finger 2.

[0004] The main cause of valgus (bending and deforming outward) of the big toe is to wear shoes with soft soles from the time of birth without having the opportunity to walk directly on hard ground such as soil or stone. Therefore, it is thought that the thumb does not need to work and gradually degenerates, and the thumb is pushed outward and bends. As another cause, it is said that the wearer wears narrow shoes with sharp tips that tend to hurt his toes, so that his legs are tightened and his thumb is bent outward.

In such a state, not only the first metatarsal joint 4 of the thumb 1 causes pain on the sole of the foot, but also the walking power of the foot is inferior and the equilibrium balance of the foot becomes unstable. It is easy to fall and get injured.

In order to correct this hallux valgus, the present applicant previously invented a valgus thumb correction supporter as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-12094). .

Numeral 21 is a cloth joint fixing band that wraps around the first joint of the thumb in the normal position together with the first joints of the other four fingers, and a velvet fastener is formed on almost the entire outer surface thereof. , And a mating velvet fastener that can be fixed to the velvet fastener on the outer surface is also attached to the winding terminal 21a. Reference numeral 22 denotes a cloth-made thumb accommodating portion connected to the joint fixing band 21 and capable of completely enclosing the thumb, and 23 has one end 23a fixed to the outer side surface of the thumb accommodating portion 22, from which the foot A pull band made of cloth having a length that can be wound through one side on the outer side and reaches the joint fixing band 21 through the other side on the outer side. The pulling band 23 is the band for fixing the joint 21. Velvet fasteners are attached to both the pulling band 23 and the joint fixing band 21 at the portion 23b that abuts on the lower part of one side and the end 23c that abuts the joint fixing band 21.

At the time of use, first, the thumb encapsulation portion 22 is completely covered on the thumb 1 of the bare foot or socks, and then the joint fixing band 21 is wrapped around the first joint portion of the other four fingers, and the thumb first Tighten so that one joint is in the normal position, and fix the winding end 21a to the bevel bed fastener on the outer surface.

Next, while pulling the pulling band 23 so that the valgus thumb is opened inward, first, the portion 23b is fixed to the joint fixing band 21 with the velvet fastener, and then the pulling band 23 is hung on the heel 24 and turned. Velvet fasteners are secured to ends 23c at the appropriate best points on articulating band 21.

[0010]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned conventional technique, since the thumb portion is in the shape of a bag, when the band is pulled, the nail portion is pressed and it becomes painful. However, there is a problem in that the support of the person with thick fingers may not be suitable, and the movement of the thumb is restricted, so that the thumb cannot be walked because the thumb is weak. The present invention aims to solve the above problems.

[0011]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a length for winding the middle toe joint part of the thumb in the width direction of the foot, and a band for fixing the middle toe joint having a velvet fastener at the end. An elastic body that can be inserted between the big toe and the second toe is protrudingly attached to the front edge of the toe, and both ends of a tension band having a length that can be wound around the heel of the foot are used as a band for fixing the middle toe joint. It is characterized by being attached.
