JPH08131477A - Tape for correcting hallux valgus - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a tape for taping contributory to correction of the hallux valgus while allowing a user to act without hindrance in daily life and more particularly in sporting by using the tape for taping for medical treatment as a rectangularly long single tape unit consisting of some width and a length meeting the length of the foot and longitudinally cutting the center thereof to bisect the center up to about three fourth the length from the end. CONSTITUTION: This tape for medical treatment is formed to the width A of about 40mm and the overall length C of about 140mm. The length D at which the center is notched and bisected to the half width (A/2) is specified to about CX2/3. The entire width part 4 is stuck at the foot in such a manner that the middle between the pollex distal phallanx 1 and the proximal phallanx 2 is the beginning end 3 of the tape for medical treatment at the time of using the tape for medical treatment formed in such a manner. The tape is stuck toward the heel along the inner side of the foot while one side 5 of the half width part is pulled. The evaginated pollex is so corrected by sticking the tape in such a manner as to be brought to the correct position. The tape is stuck at the foot while the tape is pulled from the instep of the foot toward the outer ankle in such a manner that the other 6 of the half width part is held extended from the one side 5 of the half width part.

However, in the prior art, when these tools are used, the movement of the foot may be restricted, or it may be difficult to put on the footwear. The present invention has been made to solve these drawbacks. That is, when fixed with a support, a belt, etc., movement of the toes as well as the toes is often impaired. In particular, if a support such as a splint is attached around the phalange of the thumb, not only does the movement around the metatarsal joint become inconvenient, but shoes such as shoes covering the entire metatarsal joint cannot be worn. When the support is sandwiched between the valgus portion and the second finger, it is possible to wear footwear, but it is almost impossible to fly or run. Further, when the valgus portion and the entire instep are wound up by using a belt or the like, the movement of the whole body is hindered and eventually stress is caused. As described above, the conventional tools for correcting the valgus thumb have a considerable hindrance to daily life and sports exercises, but as a method other than surgery, it is currently dependent only on such tools and usage. A valgus thumb straightening technique. Musta taping tape (proper noun, which is a proper name, is a commercial application Hei 6-79068, the content of the actual application Hei 5-
76616) is processed and provided.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to eliminate the adverse effects caused by the valgus thumb, a woven fabric woven by warps that is slightly thicker than the weft and has elasticity is used as a base material. An adhesive tape containing an anti-inflammatory agent mixed in the adhesive component is applied to one side of the tape, and the taping tape for medical use characterized in that the adhesive application surface is cracked everywhere during taping to create voids. A tape for medical use, which is a rectangular piece of tape consisting of a length commensurate with the length of the foot, and the center of the tape is cut into about 3/4 length from the end in the length direction. To provide a tape for valgus thumb straightening.

[0005]

[Function] The untaped portion of the medical taping tape (hereinafter referred to as "medical tape") (hereinafter referred to as "full width portion")
And ) Is affixed to the medial metatarsal bones of the valgus distal phalanx and phalanx of the second phalanx as a starting point, and the total length of one side (hereinafter, referred to as “half-width part”) of the bilateral incision is inside the foot. If it is applied while pulling along the heel direction, the full width part of the medical tape is valgus and the distal phalanx of the thumb (the part with the nail) is pulled to fix the thumb in the normal position and corrective action. Exert. The other half of the half-width part is attached along the medial side of the foot in an oblique position toward the upper of the foot in an expansive manner with respect to the other side. This stabilizes the thumb and the medical tape being pulled and eliminates the stress on the thumb that has been stretch-corrected without endurance. When taping with thin and lightweight medical tape, it does not give any feeling of pressure to the whole foot including the thumb, does not impede the movement of muscles of the whole foot, and does not cause blood circulation disorder.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the shape of a medical tape and its width (A).
Is about 40 mm, the total length (C) is about 140 mm, and a notch is made in the center to cut it into both sides (A / 2) and a half width (D) is about C × 2/3. When using this medical tape, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the width between the thumb phalange (1) and the proximal phalanx (2) should be the full width so that it is the beginning (3) of the medical tape. Stick part (4). While pulling one side (5) of the half-width portion, it is attached along the inside of the foot in the heel direction. By sticking in this way, the valgus thumb is corrected so that it is in the normal position. The other half (6) of the half-width part is attached to the half-width part (5) while pulling from the instep of the foot toward the lateral ankle while being in an expanded state. This is for the purpose of relieving the stress caused by the medical tape being stuck in a stable state and the thumb being fixed in a corrected state for a long time without being able to endure it. The state of the valgus thumb (7) is shown in FIG. The second embodiment can be applied to the treatment of hand tendonitis as shown in FIG. As a method of attaching, fixing the beginning end (3) of the full width portion (4) of the medical tape to the middle of the phalanges of the thumb and the proximal phalanx of the thumb and attaching the full width portion (4) This is similar to the case of the foot of Example 1. One side (5) of the half width portion is attached between the metacarpal bone of the palm side and the carpal bone (finger to wrist) to fix the thumb. The other half (6) of the half-width part is attached to the outer (opposite side) wrist while slanting on the back of the hand. The purpose of attaching the other half (6) of the half-width portion is the same as that of the foot in the first embodiment.

[0007]

The medical tape of the present invention has the following effects. 1. Most of the conventional valgus thumb straightening or preventing devices give considerable restraint or pressure to the movement of the foot or ankle, but the medical tape of the present invention is applied from sports taping. Since only a thin tape is attached, there is no problem when performing sports as well as normal operation, and there is no need to be aware of attachment. 2. The user can easily attach the medical tape of the present invention by himself. 3. Since it feels like applying a bandage, it does not limit the movement of the thumb joint and does not give stress or discomfort to the second or other fingers. 4. In the conventional orthosis or supporter, since the entire thumb or the whole toe is covered, the pain around the thumb and the nail occurs due to being tightened. However, such physiological problems do not occur. 5. There is no stress caused by pain in the thumb joint, and emotional stability can be expected. 6. In order to attach the medical tape of the present invention, there is no need to attach or detach a conventional brace or supporter, and no labor is required. 7. When wearing conventional bracelets and supporters, the feeling of wearing affects the movement of the whole body and causes unnatural movement. As a result, the walking posture is adversely affected, and smartness is lost. Even if the medical tape of the present invention is applied and walks, there is no sticking feeling at all, and it is possible to have a psychologically refreshing feeling without changing the walking posture in a healthy state. 8. I am not impressed with the repeated use of orthoses that are attached to and detached from body parts that are constantly in an unhygienic environment such as legs. In that respect, the medical tape of the present invention is inexpensive, and can be attached and detached very easily, so that it can be used for disposable purposes, and new ones can be always attached, which is hygienic.
