Description

Footwear for foot patients suitable for walking characteristics of foot patients

The present invention relates to a shoe for a foot patient, and more particularly, a foot that can protect the calf and foot of the lower knee when a fracture or joint injury is incurred and prevent secondary injuries It relates to shoes for foot patients suitable for the patient's gait characteristics.

In general, foot patients with fractures or joint injuries to the calf and foot in the lower part of the knee are bandaged or cast. Foot patients with only bandages may suffer other injuries or wounds due to external secondary shock. Depending on the characteristics of the cast material, cast patients may experience stress from itchiness or skin disease due to poor ventilation.

It is suggested in the boot-shaped foot patient shoes to solve this problem of patients. Footwear for patients is intended to be worn after surgery as well as when fractures or joint injuries to the calf and foot in the lower knee are injured.

As related to such conventional footwear for foot patients, it is presented in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0582447 (hereinafter, abbreviated as "Document 1"). In the document 1, a pad provided to surround the calves including the user's feet and ankles, a shoe sole separately provided on the bottom of the pad, a support formed protruding upward from both sides of the shoe sole to hold the pad, and It is configured to include a band for compressing the human body to hold the pad in a state surrounding the user's body.

In particular, the support is formed with a joint to selectively move the ankle portion in a state pressed by the pad, and an air tube through which air is injected and discharged is provided on the outer skin of the pad.

Footwear for foot patients in Document 1 constructed as described above is allowed to move within a set angle range according to the degree of injury while a user injured to the foot or ankle wears the foot patient shoe, and the foot and ankle and An air tube was provided on the pad surrounding the calf to improve the compression effect of the injured area and the injured person's foot wear comfort.

However, in the shoe for foot patients described in Document 1 as described above, the sole of the shoe is simply flatly provided despite the inability to bend the ankle or the knee, so that the tip of the shoe sole is easily caught when the foot patient is walking. There was a downside that it could fall and result in secondary injuries due to the jammed shock.

In addition, the endothelium is provided with an air tube, so that the compression effect of the injured area and the feeling of wearing shoes for the injured person's foot patient can be improved, but there is a disadvantage that it is impossible to select or detach the endothelium depending on the temperature or humidity depending on the season.

In particular, the endothelium simply wraps the foot, ankle, and calf by the support on both sides of the shoe sole, so there is absolutely no means for protecting the front and back of the foot patient depending on the patient's condition or the location of the affected area. It was not practical, and of course, it was unreasonable.
