발목 보조기{Ankle Orthosis} Ankle Orthosis

본 발명은 발목 보조기에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 목말밑관절과 발목관절 회전이 가능한 발목 보조기에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an ankle assistance apparatus, and more particularly, to an ankle assistance apparatus capable of rotating ankle joint and ankle joint.

발목에 부상을 입거나 선천적으로 장애가 있는 사람들을 위해 발목 보조기가 개발되었으며, 이러한 발목 보조기를 착용함으로써 보행 시 안전성을 더해주어 재활 혹은 치료에 많이 사용되고 있다.Ankle bracing has been developed for people with ankle injuries or congenital disabilities. These ankle bracings are used for rehabilitation or treatment because they add safety when walking.

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 necessary for realizing the ankle movements such as the dorsal, mandibular, inner and outer ankles are the joints of the neck and the ankle. Here, the ankle joints are mainly involved in the dorsal and the ankle joints. do. In man walking, ducking and digging play a role that allows pedestrians to move forward, and the inner and outer courts play a role to keep balance 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 a problem that the ankle joint has a rotation axis, which causes inconvenience to the movement of the user's ankle, and makes it impossible for the inner and outer legs to be balanced.

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 is to provide an ankle assistance device in which the movement of the ankle is easy and the inside and outside of the ankle joint can be rotated because the neck joint and the ankle joint can be rotated.

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. According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an ankle assistance device comprising: a U-shaped fixing bar that surrounds a rear surface and a side surface of a calf of a wearer; A shoe-like support around the soles and heels; A binding strap selectively wrapping the calf and the foot on the fixing table and the supporting table; And a connection part connected to the end of the fixing rod through a joint and the other side connected to a lower part of the back surface of the support.

상기 조인트는 환자의 상태에 따라 강성을 조절할 수 있다.The joint can adjust the stiffness 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 ankle joint and the ankle joint of the ankle at a predetermined angle by the 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 is an ergonomic ankle ankle capable of rotating the neck joint and ankle joint, thereby allowing free movement of the ankle and enabling the patient to rotate the ankle through the joint of the neck, thereby enhancing inner and outer safety .

도 1은 본 발명에 따른 발목 보조기의 사시도이다.1 is a perspective view of an ankle assistance device according to the present invention.

아래에서는 첨부한 도면을 참고로 하여 본 발명의 실시예에 대하여 본 발명이 속하는 기술 분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자가 용이하게 실시할 수 있도록 상세히 설명한다. 그러나 본 발명은 여러 가지 상이한 형태로 구현될 수 있으며 여기에서 설명하는 실시예에 한정되지 않는다. 그리고 도면에서 본 발명을 명확하게 설명하기 위해서 설명과 관계없는 부분은 생략하였으며, 명세서 전체를 통하여 유사한 부분에 대해서는 유사한 도면 부호를 붙였다.Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification.

이하에서는 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 발목 보조기에 대하여 설명한다.Hereinafter, an ankle assistance device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

도 1은 본 발명에 따른 발목 보조기의 사시도이다. 1 is a perspective view of an ankle assistance device according to the present invention.

도 1을 참조하면, 본 발명의 비정상 보행하는 다리에 착용되어 정상 보행이 가능하게 하는 발목 보조기는 고정대(10), 지지대(20), 바이딩 스트랩(30) 및 연결부(40)를 포함하여 구성된다.Referring to FIG. 1, an ankle orthosis that is worn on an abnormal walking foot of the present invention to enable a normal walking can be composed of a fixed base 10, a support base 20, a binding strap 30, do.

상기 고정대(10)는 착용자의 종아리의 후면과 측면을 감싸는 U형으로 형성되고, 고정대(10) 안쪽에는 쿠션 기능을 하는 안감을 부착할 수 있다.The fixing table 10 is formed in a U-shape surrounding the back and sides of the wearer's calf, and a lining having a cushioning function can be attached to the inside of the fixing table 10.

상기 지지대(20)는 발바닥과 뒤꿈치를 감싸는 신발 형태를 가진다,The support base 20 has a shoe shape that wraps around the sole and the heel,

상기 바인딩 스트랩(30)은 고정대(10)와 지지대(20) 상에 종아리와 발등을 선택적으로 감싸도록 마련되어 종아리나 발등의 크기에 구애받지 않고 신속 간편하면서 안정된 착용을 유도한다. 이때, 상기 바인딩 스트랩들(30)의 일측은 각각 고정대(10)와 지지대(20)에 결합되고, 타측은 결속부(31)에 결속된다.The binding strap 30 is provided to selectively enclose the calf and the foot on the holding table 10 and the support table 20 to induce quick and simple and stable wearing regardless of the size of a calf or a foot. At this time, one side of the binding straps 30 is coupled to the fixing table 10 and the supporting table 20, respectively, and the other side is bound to the binding section 31.

이러한 고정대(10)와 지지대(20)는 복사뼈와 인접하는 위치에서 상호 연결된다. 즉, 고정대(10) 끝단과 연결부(40) 일측이 조인트(50)를 통해 연결되고, 연결부(40) 타측은 지지대(20) 후면 하부에 연결된다. The fixing table 10 and the supporting table 20 are interconnected at positions adjacent to the radiating bone. That is, the end of the fixing table 10 and one side of the connection part 40 are connected through the joint 50, and the other side of the connection part 40 is connected to the lower side of the back side of the support 20.

상기 조인트(50)는 환자의 상태에 따라 강성을 조절할 수 있다. 예로써, 발목이 부러진 경우 깁스처럼 단단하게 조절하고, 재활중인 경우 상태에 따라 조절할 수 있다.The joint 50 can adjust the rigidity according to the patient's condition. For example, if the ankle is broken, it can be tightly adjusted like a cast, and can be adjusted depending on the condition during rehabilitation.

상기 연결부(40)는 발목을 보조해 주는 패시브(passive)한 힘을 생성해 주는비틀림 스프링으로 발목의 목말밑관절과 발목관절을 소정 각도로 회전 운동이 가능하여 발목의 움직임이 편하고 내번과 외번이 가능하다. The connection unit 40 is a torsion spring that generates a passive force to assist the ankle. The ankle joint and the ankle joint can be rotated at a predetermined angle so that the ankle can move easily, It is possible.
