Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is for correcting valgus, which is for correcting the condition in which the first toe joint part of the toe is bent and deformed and the first metatarsal joint part is valgus. Regarding supporters.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A hallux valgus means that the thumb 2 is bent and deformed toward the second finger 7 as shown in FIG.
This is because the lateral metatarsal ligament 3a is loosened, and
This is because the thumb is opened and as a result the thumb 2 is pushed toward the second finger 7.

The main cause of valgus (bending and deforming outward) of the toes is that there has been no recent opportunity to walk directly on uneven ground such as soil or stone, and the toes have been used since they were born. Since my toes are fixed because I wear shoes that allow me to walk even if I don't use them, my thumbs do not need to work in particular and my strength gradually deteriorates. When I kick out, my thumbs are pushed outward and bend. It is believed that. In addition, as another cause, it is said that a narrow shoe, which is pointy to the point where the toes are easily damaged, is put on, so that it acts to tighten the toes and bend the toes outward.

In such a state, the metatarsal joint 3 of the base of the thumb 2 not only causes internal pain,
Poor walking ability of the foot, unstable balance of the foot, leading to falls and easy injury.

In order to correct this hallux valgus, the present applicant previously invented a supporter for hallux valgus correction as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-12094).

Numeral 21 is a cloth metatarsal joint fixing band which presses the metatarsal joint 3 in the width direction of the foot so as to fix the metatarsal joint 3 which is the base of the thumb to the normal position, and almost the entire outer surface thereof. A velvet fastener is attached to the velvet fastener, and a 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 is a cloth thumb holding part that can wrap the thumb connected to the metatarsal joint fixing band 21, and 23 has one end 23a fixed to the outer side surface of the thumb holding part 22, Is a cloth-made pulling band having a length that can be wound from one side of the foot through one outer side of the foot to reach the metatarsal joint fixing band 21 through the other side of the outside. A velvet fastener is attached to a portion 23b that abuts on a lower portion of one side of the metatarsal joint fixing band 21 and an end portion 23c.

At the time of use, first, the thumb occluder 22 is put on the thumb 2 of the foot with bare feet or socks, and then the whole ankle joint 3 is covered with the band 21 for fixing the ankle joint together, and Tighten so that the metatarsal joint 3 of the base 2 is in the normal position, and fix the winding end 21a to the velvet fastener on the outer surface of the little finger.

Next, while pulling the pulling band 23 so that the valgus is returned to the normal position, that is, inward,
First, fix the portion 23b to the metatarsal joint fixing band 21 with the velvet fastener, hang it on the heels 24, and turn it to the other end 2
3c is fixed to a suitable best position of the metatarsal joint fixing band 21 with a velvet fastener.

[0009]

In the above prior art, since the valgus thumb is pulled to the inward normal position by the metatarsal joint fixing band, the metatarsal joint fixing band is fixed on the little finger side. The base of the thumb 2 cannot be firmly tightened, the base of the thumb 2 is loosened, and the pressure on the thumb and the nail cannot be prevented. There was a problem that it caused pain. The present invention aims to solve the above problems.

[0010]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a middle foot in which the metatarsal joint of the base of the thumb is wound in the width direction of the foot, fixed on the upper surface of the thumb side and held in a tightened state. The joint fixing band and the thumb holding member to be attached to the thumb are integrally connected, and the top made of a cushion member such as sponge to be inserted between the thumb and the second finger is integrally attached to the thumb holding member, The outside surface of the thumb holding member and the outside surface of the metatarsal joint fixing band are fixed by a short tension band, and both ends of the tension band wound around the heel are integrally connected to the joint fixing band. .
