Description

The invention relates to the field of physiotherapy, orthopedics, to shoe details, and is intended to influence biologically active points and zones of the foot according to a predetermined pattern or program for the prevention of a human condition.

The aim of the invention is to expand the functionality by providing simultaneous exposure to a selected group of biologically active points and zones of the sole of the foot in a certain sequence according to a given scheme or program; additional provision of the microcurrent mode due to the contact (metal-skin) potential difference (i.e. without an external microcurrent source); providing the ability to control the integrated electrical conductivity of the selected zones and points of the sole of the foot before and after exposure, as well as providing the ability to connect an external current source for conducting microcurrent electrical stimulation both in statics (without movement) and in dynamics (when walking), increase impact efficiency and generation of known sensations, as well as elimination of mutual displacement of the insole layers.

In FIG. 1-17 shows the proposed device.

The medical insole contains an upper perforated layer 1 (Fig. 1), a lower continuous layer 2 (a top view is shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively), a conductive middle layer 3 (Fig. 1), a contact pair (Fig. 4), consisting which consists of a socket and a pin, a rivet (Fig. 5), n + 1 active electrodes (of various designs, shapes and configurations (Fig. 6-13), a passive electrode 1 (Fig. 14.15), an electronic unit 2 (Fig. 14, 15) conductivity meter 2 (Fig. 14)

and a source of 2 microcurrents (Fig. 15) and two insulated conductors 3 and 4 (Figs. 14, 15).

The upper perforated layer (see Fig. 2) is made of an elastic non-conductive material, in which through holes are located, which are arranged in a certain way.

As the material of the upper perforated layer 1 (Fig. 1), insoles are used

natural, artificial and

synthetic leathers and materials with a thickness of 0.5-3 mm that meet hygienic and physiological requirements, requirements for reliability, durability and other requirements for insoles. In particular, for example, the insole should be flexible, have low thermal conductivity, maintain dimensions and properties during repeated wetting and drying, be sufficiently elastic and retain its shape during wear, and have high hydrothermal stability.

N active electrodes are additionally introduced into the medical insole, where 2 n 500 are installed in the holes of the upper layer of the insole. The latter are made at the locations (topography) of biologically active points and zones of the sole of the foot. The openings are located at a distance of 3-15 mg. (Excluding punctures, scratches, abrasions, corns and other skin lesions.

This arrangement of the holes allows us to vary the sizes of the heads of the active electrodes, made in the form of rivets, and their density in the zone. The latter provides a change in the area of contact with the sole of the foot, and therefore, the density of the current caused, for example, by the contact potential difference. - The holes of the upper layer of the insole are made with a diameter of 0.8 ... 1.2 times larger than the diameter dk of the mounting part of the active electrode (see Fig. 7), depending on the elasticity of the material of this layer and the method of attachment (friction or using the tabs )

The choice of holes with a diameter of (0.8 ... 1.2) dk is due to the possibility of using active electrodes made in the form of various rivets (Fig. 6.1).

If rivets (Fig. 7) are used as active electrodes, which are fixed in the holes of the upper layer of the insole, then the holes are made with a diameter equal to (0.8 ... 1.0) dk. If two-element semi-hollow buttons are used as active electrodes (Fig. 6), then the diameter of the holes of the upper perforation

layer 1 of the treatment insole is made 1.03 ... 1.2 times larger than the normalized diameter do of the fixed element heads (buttons with straight edges). This is necessary to ensure the rotational movement of the active electrodes - buttons around its axis, as well as for their micro displacements (together with the skin of the sole of the foot) when walking.

If electrodes of a complex shape, defined by the relief and configuration, are used as active electrodes, then the latter are fastened with paws (Figs. 8-13).

In the proposed technical solution, the active electrodes are made of various materials in the form of separate point electrodes (Fig. 7) or groups of electrodes of various shapes and configurations (Figs. 8-13), which are relief contact surfaces imitating the sensations of walking on sand, fine gravel , pebbles, clay and others.

Active electrodes can be made of metal or of polymeric materials with a metallized surface. Typically, electrodes are made of lead, steel, copper, brass, aluminum and other conductive materials and alloys. "

As the polymeric materials used for the manufacture of active electrodes, mention may be made of nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane and other materials used in the manufacture of shoe parts. To provide electrical conductivity, the surface of the active electrodes of polymer materials is metallized.

It should be noted that the following can be used as active electrodes: rivets with various head shapes, corrugated metallized surfaces, solid metal embossed electrodes that match the configurations of the corresponding forefoot zones (Fig. 16), as well as two-element semi-hollow buttons ( for example, KO-5-4-5, OST 17-624- 87, article MG-096-01-1123 (see Fig. 6). In the case of using semi-hollow buttons, their elements. Through the holes in the upper layer of the perforated insole movably interconnected in m At the same time, the elements of the buttons for the flanged buttons (with a blind flange or a convex side) and the straight edges (Fig. 6) are installed, respectively, above and below the upper perforated layer 1 of the insole. The connection of the fixed head of the button element with the straight sides by gripping the fixing head of the button element with the flanged edges is ensured by the execution of the hemispherical heads (Fig. 6) and / or due to the installation of a flat spring (see OST 17-624-87). The flat springs are made of steel wire with a diameter of 0.3-0.5 mm and are installed in the upper elements of the buttons between the flanged edges and the grooves in the locking head (flat springs are not shown in Fig. 6).

Active electrodes are connected to the upper layer 1 of the insole only in those places (Fig. 16) of the location of biologically active points and zones that are directly affected at a given time.

Between the upper 1 and lower 2 (Fig. 1) layers of the insole is located the middle current-conducting layer 3 (Fig. 1). The latter is made of foil (aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, steel or others) or from another current lead material (for example, from carbonaceous graphite fabric). The conductive middle layer can be made by applying a thin layer of non-ferrous metal onto the bottom layer of the insole (using modern technology for spraying or applying thin metal films).

The thickness of the conductive middle layer 3 does not exceed one third of the thickness of the lower layer 2 of the treatment insole (Fig. 1). The specified thickness value is set in order to obtain the required elasticity and wear resistance, providing, for example, physical wear of the treatment insole after (5 ... 7) 10 operating hours.

The conductive middle layer 3 (Fig. 1) provides an electrical connection between a group of active electrodes protruding from the upper perforated layer 1 of the insole by 0.05 .., 0.3 mm. As a result, microcurrents flow through the sole from one group of active electrodes to another (or inside a group of separated active electrodes) due to the contact (metal-skin) potential difference. With prolonged exposure, redistribution and then equalization of potential differences metal-skin-metal between adjacent active electrodes occurs due to leakage of microcurrents through the skin of the sole of the foot, subcutaneous tissue and muscles of the foot. The duration of exposure is determined by the selected treatment scheme or program.

In the proposed therapeutic insole, an electronic current source (Fig. 15) is used as an electronic unit 2 (Fig. 14.15) when conducting external electrical stimulation of biologically active points and zones of the sole of the foot (Fig. 14), and when monitoring the effectiveness of the impact, a conductivity meter (Fig. 14 )

It should be noted that for monitoring the integrated electrical conductivity of the selected points and zones of the sole of the foot before and after exposure using a conductivity meter 2 (see Fig. 14), as well as for providing microcurrent electrical stimulation by their external microcurrent source (see Fig. 15 ) both in statistics (without movement) and in dynamics (when walking), a second insulated conductor 4, a contact pair (Fig. 4), consisting of a socket and a pin, and a rivet (Fig. 5) are additionally inserted into the insole. One of the ends of the second insulated conductor 4.

In the conductive middle layer 3 and the lower layer 2 (Fig. 3) of the insole, a through hole is additionally made on the inside of the insole region of the insole outside the active zones and the sole points of the foot. Through this hole, by means of a hollow rivet (see FIG. 5), the nest is connected to the transporting middle layer 3 and the lower layer 2 of the insole. Moreover, the nest is strengthened with the possibility of frictional rotational movement of it around its hollow rivet. In this case, the second end of the second insulated conductor 4 is connected, like the second end of the first insulated conductor 3 (fmg. 14, 15), to an external device - to the source of microcurrent 2 (see Fig. 15) - during electrical stimulation, or to the meter 2 conductivity (Fig. 14) - with self-control of the electrical conductivity of biologically active points and zones of the sole of the foot. The passive electrode 1 (see Fig. 14.15) is attached to any part of the leg above the ankle.

As a result, it is possible to control the integrated electrical conductivity of points and zones of the sole of the foot before and after exposure, as well as electrical stimulation by their external source of microcurrent.

Layers 1, 2 and 3 of the insole (Fig. 1) are interconnected by edging the sides of the insole, for example, crimp profile bracket 5 (tape). The opposite ends of the latter are interconnected behind the back of the insole with the help of an auxiliary plate - clamp 6 (Fig. 1),

The use of the treatment insole is as follows. Using famous traditional or unconventional

Diagnostic methods are used to diagnose. After the session, the statics of the functional state of the meridia are directly and at least two hours later, of the biologically active points, and the state of the biological reflex zones, corresponding active points and zones of the foot are again monitored. According to the result, the internal organs and systems of man. 5th these controls are selected and new at home, for example, the totality of biologically active points of elementary knowledge of the Chinese meridian zones. It is advisable to influence the tests, it can be used to diagnose 1-3 times a day: morning, afternoon and evening, sticks the Akabane test, founded by nano for no more than 5-7 days.
