Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is used to fix and protect the ankle joint supporter, more specifically in the case of spraining or cutting of the Achilles tendon. Regarding ankle supporters.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, an L-shaped tubular supporter has been generally used as such an ankle joint supporter, and the ankle joint portion is fixedly protected by taping as required.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the case of a simple supporter, since the holding and fixing force is not sufficient, "twist" accompanying the patient's self-assurance is likely to occur, and there is a problem in safety protection.

Although it is also attempted to further strengthen the holding and fixing of the ankle joints by taping the tape, this method requires time and effort for taping, and is rather contradictory. Since the movement of the ankle part is completely sealed off, it is difficult to even walk, and there are problems that shoes cannot be worn.

Therefore, the present inventor has conducted various studies to eliminate such drawbacks of the related art, and as a result, has excellent attachment / detachment operability and fixation protection,
Moreover, the present invention has been devised which does not particularly hinder the mobility and the wearability of shoes.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

That is, according to the present invention, a cover strip that can be fastened by superposing at the back of the ankle is connected to the upper edge of one end of the tubular portion, and the heel upper part is fixed to the lower side of the cover strip. On the inner malleolus lateral surface of the ankle supporter body that is provided with an auxiliary belt for use, with a lateral pestle corresponding to the tarsal bone to the metatarsal bone and a vertical pestle corresponding to the tarsal bone or the tibia, A generally inverted L-shaped twist prevention stay having a cutout portion provided at the ankle contact portion is attached, and the lateral punch portion of the twist prevention stay is attached to the front end portion of the lateral punch portion through the sole and further to the twist punch of the twist prevention stay. A supporter for ankle joint, wherein one end of a stretch-fixing elastic belt for winding and fixing is wound and fixed to an upper portion of an opposite surface via a base portion or a vertical punch portion base portion.

〔Example〕

 The present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings illustrating one embodiment.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a supporter body for mounting on an ankle joint, which may be made of any material as long as it has elasticity, but it is preferable to use one having excellent breathability and cushioning property.

Since the supporter body 1 is formed by connecting a cover strip 12 that can be fastened to the back of the ankle portion to the upper edge portion of one end portion of the tubular portion 11 in a superposed manner, the thickness of the leg can be reduced. It is particularly advantageous because it excels in operability of attachment and detachment and fixation of attachment regardless of the fact that the heel portion is in an open state without being covered at the time of attachment, and therefore it has excellent motility. Moreover, since the overlapping fastening portion is doubled, the Achilles tendon or the like is not excessively pressed when the belt 3 is wound and attached.

Further, since an auxiliary belt 13 for fixing the upper part of the heel is attached to the lower side of the cover strip 12, the back of the ankle is sequentially overlapped with both side strips of the cover strip 12 and the auxiliary belt 13. Because it can be fixed, the effect of heel lock is obtained,
Further, the cushioning property is excellent, and a strong fixing and holding action can be stably maintained, and further better results can be obtained.

It should be noted that it is simple and effective to use the surface fastener 1a as a fastening means for the covering belt portion 12 and the auxiliary belt 13 as appropriate.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a twist prevention stay, which is fixedly attached to the inner ankle outer surface of the supporter body 1, that is, the outer surface of the tubular portion 11 to the covered band portion 12 that is the inner side of the foot when worn by means of sewing. Is.

The twist preventing stay 2 includes a lateral pestle 21 corresponding to a foot bone (tarsal bone or metatarsal bone) and a leg bone (tarsal bone or tibia).
It is preferable for the bottom and dorsiflexion motions of the ankle to have a vertical punch 22 corresponding to the above and a basic shape of a slender inverted L shape with a cutout 23 provided at the ankle contact portion.

It should be noted that the twist preventing stay 2 may be made of any semi-rigid synthetic resin as long as it has a hardness capable of performing a skirting board action. It is used in terms of mobility.

3 is an elastic belt for fixing the winding, one end of which is attached to the front end portion of the horizontal punch 21 of the stay 2 for twist prevention by means such as sewing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the belt 3 has such a length that it can be wound around the bottom of the foot, the upper part of the horizontal punch 21 to the base of the vertical punch 22 of the twist preventing stay 2, and the upper part of the opposite surface. ,
Further, it is more effective in terms of convenience and twist-preventing action that the fastening is appropriately formed on the tip of the surface fastener 2a belt 3 and the supporter body 1 is formed of a surface fastener material corresponding thereto. .

In addition, a hook-and-loop fastener for auxiliary stop is provided in the middle of the belt 3.
If the supporter body 1 is formed of a surface fastener material corresponding to this as well as forming the 2b, the belt can be temporarily fixed at a midpoint of the winding, so that the displacement movement of the belt 3 is prevented. Further, it is possible to maintain a strong fixed holding action more stably.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, if the supporter body 1 is attached to the ankle joint and then the belt 3 is wound and fixed as shown in FIG. 2, the ankle joint portion is stably held and fixed. On the other hand, since the tape 3 does not exist on the heel and has elasticity by itself, the plantar and dorsiflexion motions of the ankle are not hindered.

[Effect of device]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the attachment / detachment operation can be performed extremely easily, and the ankle joint portion can be firmly fixed and held, so that the occurrence of "twist" can be prevented.

Moreover, since the plantar flexion / dorsiflexion motility of the foot is maintained, there is no particular problem in walking and wearing of shoes.
