JPH10211225A - Stocking for correcting genu varum and internal rotation knee - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To treat and prevent the gonarthrosis and improve walking by winding up elastic belts having hook-and-loop fasteners in their rear faces around thick stockings from the foot parts to the belly in the direction of the knees for bending externally and sewing the hook-and-loop fasteners in side faces of the stockings. SOLUTION: Elastic belts having hook-and-loop fasteners in their rear faces are wound up around thick stockings from the foot parts to the belly in the direction of the knees for bending externally and the hook-and-loop fasteners are sewn to side faces of the stockings. The stockings having the tips of the belts in its heels are worn in such a state that the holes in the knees are fitted in the patellae, the elastic belts are wound up in the direction for externally rotating the foot parts and fixed by the hook-and-loop fasteners so as to prevent them from slipped in the midparts. This constitution can externally rotate the foot parts, externally bend the knees, and increase the load on the lateral knee joint faces so as to treat and prevent the gonarthrosis and improve walking.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a varus varus knee orthosis.

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Knee deforms by reducing the load on the inner joint surface during the standing phase and increasing the load on the outer knee joint surface when the band wrapped in the stockings causes the foot to erect and erect the knee. Treats, prevents, and improves gait of osteoarthritis.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A compact stocking having an appropriate external rotation force for treating, preventing, and improving gait of knee osteoarthritis has not been available.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] [Means for Solving the Problems]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the age of aging in recent years, the elderly who suffer from pain due to knee osteoarthritis are not endless. I feel particularly strongly about this as an orthopedic surgeon. The characteristic of the joint lesion is bone in the knee medial joint surface in Japanese,
Chondritis is prominent, and lesions are relatively mild on the lateral joint surface of the knee. In such a case, a method of erecting the knee joint by operation and shifting the center of load to the lateral joint surface has been performed worldwide. However, it is also true that many elderly people cannot undergo surgery due to systemic complications. The gait analysis of knee osteoarthritis patients has revealed that the foot rotates inward when walking (stand-up stage), which may result in a greater load on the medial joint surface than in healthy subjects. Reported by various houses. It has also been clarified that the center of load is applied to a large portion of the outer joint surface of the knee when the foot is turned or valgus during walking. Based on this fact, in this developed product, a force is applied to the lower leg-thigh-trunk through the band wound around the foot inside the stocking to apply external force to the lower leg, the thigh-trunk, and the leg is turned outward to erect the knee. The purpose is to prevent, prevent, and improve gait of knee osteoarthritis as its effects. (Because the time when the knee joint surface is subjected to the most load and causes pain is the time when the knee touches the ground at a slight flexion position, when winding the belt at the time of production, it is done at the slight knee flexion position, and The external reaction force is applied, so that the foot rotates outward.)

[0006]

Embodiments will be described below. (B) First, put on the stockings with the tip of the band attached to the heel so that the hole in the knee fits into the patella. (B) Next, wrap the elastic band as shown in the figure in the direction in which the foot rotates outward. ) Fix it with velcro so that it does not slip halfway, and wind it up.

[0007]

[Effect of the Invention] The elastic band wound in a belt shape exerts an external rotation force from the foot to the thigh or the trunk, causing the foot to rotate outward, further erecting the knee and increasing the load on the lateral knee joint surface. It is used to treat, prevent, and improve gait of knee osteoarthritis.

[Brief description of the drawings]

FIG. 1 A commercially available stocking shape (those extending from the foot to the abdomen) is used to make the cloth thicker, and while maintaining the strength, a velcro is sewn on the side face of the patella to form a hole for preventing slippage on the front side of the patella.

FIG. 2 Next, a width 5c from a fixed portion of the arch.
The slightly elastic back surface of about m is wrapped around the lower leg and thigh spirally with a velcro band (to the proximal part from the ankle joint to the lower abdomen so that it becomes an outer winding as shown in the figure), The legs are curled up and the knee joints are everted, fixed to the side of the stockings with velcro, and finally the band is secured with a magic band in the lower abdomen.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. An elastic band (b) is wound around a thick stocking (a) with a Velcro tape on the back side from the foot to the lower abdomen in the direction in which the knee is everted, and the side of the stocking is a Velcro (c). ) Sewn.
