JPH10234759A - Valgus hallux correcting jig - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide stable corrective force to the hallux of valgus hallux. SOLUTION: The device is composed of an insert 1 to be held between the big toe and the second toe, and a belt or cylinder of cloth or expansion material for stably holding it. For adjusting thickness of the insert, a thickness adjusting member is used. In the case of the belt, it is stopped by a surface tape or the like. Simultansouly with the execution of above, a supporter to tighten a middle foot ligament part may be used for further improving correction effect. By thus stably providing corrective force to the big toe of hallux valgus, hallux valgus correcting effect can be improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a jig for correcting hallux valgus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a method of correcting valgus, there has been a method of wearing a supporter. These are intended to obtain a correction effect by tightening the metatarsal ligament, but have little correction effect on the thumb of the foot. (All fingers mentioned below are toes)

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a correcting force to the thumb to obtain a correcting effect.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems An object (1) is sandwiched between the thumb and the index finger. Then, the force of pushing outward on the thumb works stably. With this force, correction of the hallux valgus to the thumb is realized. In order to prevent the object (1) from coming off easily, remove the object (1) from the inner wall of the belt or tube-shaped object (2) made of cloth or elastic material. Wrap around the inlay finger and fix. The correction force acting on the thumb changes depending on the thickness of the package (1). Therefore, a structure may be employed in which the thickness of the package (1) can be adjusted so as to correspond to the degree of valgus deformation. In addition, if the correction indicator according to the present invention is used and the method of compressing the metatarsal ligament is used, the correction effect is further enhanced.

[0005]

By wearing the jig of the present invention, a stable and straightening force can be applied to the hallux valgus thumb.

[0006]

【Example】

Example 1 FIG. 1 shows an example of a belt-shaped correction jig so that it can be easily attached and detached. FIG. 2 is a view in which the camera is mounted. Although there are various methods for stopping the belt, FIG. 1 shows an example using a surface tape.

Embodiment 2 Various methods for adjusting the thickness of the package (1) can be considered. FIG. 3 shows an example using a surface tape. A tape is attached to both sides of the package (1), and a thickness adjusting piece (3) is further prepared by attaching the tape to the inner surface. The tapes (c), (e), (d), and (f) ) Can be attached to change the thickness and can be easily removed.

Embodiment 3 FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is implemented and the ligament of the midfoot is compressed. With this method, the correction effect is further enhanced. The supporter (7) and the jig according to the present invention may be integrated.

[0009]

According to the present invention, the force to correct the hallux valgus to the thumb can be stably given. Therefore, the effect of correcting the thumb can be obtained. Also, attachment and detachment are easy.
