배굴, 저굴, 내번, 외번 등의 발목의 움직임을 구현하는데 필요한 관절은 목말밑관절과 발목관절이 있다, 여기서, 배굴과 저굴은 주로 발목관절이 관여하고, 내번과 외번은 주로 목말밑관절이 관여한다. 사람이 보행하는데 있어서 배굴과 저굴은 보행자가 앞으로 나아갈 수 있도록 해주는 역할을 담당하고, 내번과 외번은 지면에서 균형을 잡아 넘어지지 않게 해주는 역할을 담당한다.The joints needed to implement ankle movements such as back, bottom, inner and outer are the neck and ankle joints, where the back and bottom are mainly involved in the ankle joint, and the inner and outer ends are mainly involved in the neck joint. do. When people walk, the dormitory and the bottom are responsible for pedestrians moving forward, and the inner and outer are balanced to keep from falling on the ground.

그러나 종래의 발목 보조기는 발목관절 하나만 회전축으로 가짐으로써 사용자의 발목 움직임에 불편함을 초래하고, 내번과 외번이 불가능하게 되어 환자가 넘어지지 않기 위해 필요한 균형을 잡기가 어려운 문제점이 있다.However, the conventional ankle brace has an ankle joint, which causes inconvenience to the user's ankle movement by having only one ankle joint, making it difficult to balance the patient so that the patient cannot fall over and out.

대한민국 등록특허공보 제1682450호(등록일: 2016.11.29., 발명의 명칭: 발목관절 보조기)Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 1682450 (Registration date: November 29, 2016, the name of the invention: ankle joint brace)

상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 본 발명의 목적은 목말밑관절과 발목관절 회전이 가능하여 발목의 움직임이 편하고 내번과 외번이 가능한 발목 보조기를 제공하는 데 있다.An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide an ankle brace that is possible to rotate the ankle joint and the ankle joint is easy to move the ankle and inner and outer.

상기와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 발목 보조기는 착용자의 종아리의 후면과 측면을 감싸는 U형 고정대; 발바닥과 뒤꿈치를 감싸는 신발 형태의 지지대; 상기 고정대와 지지대 상에 종아리와 발등을 선택적으로 감싸는 바인딩 스트랩; 및 상기 고정대 끝단과 조인트를 통해 연결하고, 타측은 지지대 후면 하부에 연결하는 연결부;를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다. Ankle brace of the present invention for achieving the above object is a U-shaped fixture surrounding the back and side of the calf of the wearer; Support in the form of shoes that wrap the soles and heel; A binding strap for selectively wrapping a calf and an instep on the holder and the support; And a connection part connected to the end of the holder through a joint, and the other side connected to a lower rear side of the support.

상기 조인트는 환자의 상태에 따라 강성을 조절할 수 있다.The joint can adjust the rigidity according to the condition of the patient.

상기 연결부는 비틀림 스프링으로 발목의 목말밑관절과 발목관절을 소정 각도로 회전이 가능할 수 있다.The connection portion may be capable of rotating the neck and ankle joint of the ankle at a predetermined angle with a torsion spring.

상기와 같이, 본 발명은 목말밑관절 및 발목관절 회전이 가능한 인체공학적 발목 보조기로써 발목의 자유로운 움직임이 보장되고, 환자가 목말밑관절을 통해 발목을 회전할 수 있어 내번과 외번 안전성을 높일 수 있다.As described above, the present invention as an ergonomic ankle brace capable of rotating the neck and the ankle joint is guaranteed free movement of the ankle, the patient can rotate the ankle through the neck joint can increase the internal and external safety. .

도 1은 본 발명에 따른 발목 보조기의 사시도이다.1 is a perspective view of an ankle brace in accordance with the present invention.
