[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a valgus for correcting the valgus, which is the deformed valgus deformed by bending the second toe (outward of the foot) to the normal state. Regarding a thumb corrector supporter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A 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.

The main cause of valgus of the big toe (bending and deforming outward) is that recently, when there is no opportunity to walk directly on hard ground such as soil or stone, shoes with soft soles are worn from the time of birth. Therefore, it is considered that the thumb does not need to work and gradually degenerates, and the thumb is pushed outward to bend. In addition, as another cause, it is said that in order to put on shoes having a narrow width and having pointed toes that easily hurt the toes, the legs are tightened and the 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 ability of the foot is inferior, the balance balance of the foot becomes unstable, and the person falls. Then
It is easy to get injured.

In order to correct this hallux valgus, the present applicant previously invented a supporter for hallux valgus correction as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-12094).

Numeral 11 is a cloth joint-fixing band that is wrapped around the first joint of the thumb in the normal position together with the first joints of the other four fingers. A velvet fastener is attached to almost the entire outer surface of the band. Cage and winding terminal 11
A mating velvet fastener that can be fixed to the velvet fastener on the outer surface is also attached to a. Numeral 12 is a cloth-made thumb accommodating portion which is connected to the joint fixing band 11 and can wrap the thumb completely, and 13 has one end 13a fixed to the outer side surface of the thumb accommodating portion 12, from which Wind the arm through one side of the outside,
A pulling band made of cloth having a length that allows the joint fixing band 11 to reach through the outside and the other side, and the pulling band 13
Portion 13b where the abutment is made on the lower part of the joint fixing band 11
The velvet fasteners are attached to both the pulling band 13 and the joint fixing band 11 at the portion where the end portion 13c contacts the joint fixing band 11.

At the time of use, first, the thumb wrap portion 12 is put on the big toe 1 of the bare foot or socks, and then the joint fixing band 11 is wrapped around the first joint portion of the other four fingers to wrap the thumb. Tighten so that one joint is in the normal position,
The winding terminal 11a is fixed to the velvet fastener on the outer surface.

Next, while pulling the pulling band 13 so that the valgus thumb is opened inward, first, the portion 13b is fixed to the joint fixing band 11 with a velvet fastener, and is hung on the heels 14 and turned. 13c is fixed to the joint fixing band 11 at a suitable best position with a velvet fastener.

[0010]

In the above-mentioned prior art, since the thumb has a bag-like shape, when the band is pulled, the claw is pressed and becomes painful, and the size of the bag is constant. There is a case that the supporter may not be suitable for a person with a very long thumb or a person with a thick finger, the movement of the thumb is restricted, and there is a problem in that the thumb is weak and difficult to walk.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a band is arranged in the width direction of the foot so as to press the first metatarsophalangeal joint part of the hallux valgus toward the little finger side. Winding
Then , while holding the joint in a tightened state, an elastic member to be inserted between the thumb and the second finger is attached to an upper edge of the band, and a lower finger of the elastic member is provided at an upper edge of the band so that the thumb can project upward. Is formed.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS . 1 to 7 will be described in detail below. Numeral 5 is a felt band having a length that winds in the width direction of the foot so as to press the part of the metatarsophalangeal joint 4 of the hallux valgus 1 toward the little finger side. There is. 1 on the upper edge of band 5
A pair of projecting pieces 5a, 5a are provided so as to project, and the hallux valgus 1 and the second finger 2
The sides of the elastic member 7 such as a sponge to be inserted is adhering secured between, the lower position the band 5 the upper edge of the elastic member 7 valgus
A hole 8 through which the thumb 1 can be projected upward is formed.

[0013] In use, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, first, the outer
The ball of thumb 1 is inserted into the hole 8 and protrudes upward, and at the same time, the elastic member 7 is inserted between the ball of valgus 1 and the second finger 2, and then the first middle foot of the ball of valgus 1 with the band 5. The portion of the knuckle 4 is pulled toward the little finger, and the velvet fastener 6 is fixed to the other end of the band 5 while the first metatarsal joint 4 is tightened.

The band 5 has an adhesive agent attached to the entire back surface of the plastic sheet, and a release paper attached to the upper surface thereof.
The release paper may be peeled off at the time of use, and the plastic sheet may be directly attached and fixed to the foot.

Alternatively, the protruding piece 5a of the band 5 may be eliminated and the lower portion of the elastic member 7 may be fixed directly to the upper edge of the band 5.

[0016]

According to the present invention, according to the invention], the first metatarsophalangeal joint portion of the valgus thumb wound band width direction of the foot to press the little finger side, and held in a state tightened articulation, the Attach an elastic member to be inserted between the thumb and the second finger on the upper edge of the band ,
Since the hole that allows the thumb to project upward is formed at the upper edge of the lower position band of the elastic member, the thumb is projected outward, so that the thumb is not pressed and the nail does not hurt, and the thumb is long. Since it is possible to fit various thumbs such as a person and a thick person, and the thumbs can be freely moved, it is easy for the thumbs to have a strong force when walking.
