Description

Technical field

The technical solution relates to the lower part of the shoe and the adjacent part of the upper, in particular orthopedic foot heel therapy, intended for the rehabilitation of the lower limbs or for any serially or individually manufactured orthopedic or conventional sports or walking shoes intended for the same use. The footwear is used primarily for the rehabilitation of patients with cerebral palsy and for the rehabilitation of patients after strokes and other neurodevelopmental disorders, wherein the rehabilitation is carried out by means of elastic tensile segments in the lower limbs hinged to the hinged supporting segments attached to parts of the upper.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Traction segment systems are known from the prior art for the rehabilitation of patients with walking disorders. The footwear on which the traction segment system is used is, in particular, footwear made of textile. In this textile shoe, the traction segment system is fastened to the shoe by sewing a cotton trim with hooks to hook the traction elements by sewing on top of the finished shoe. However, this textile footwear has the great disadvantage that the footwear as a whole is very soft and pliable, and by attaching a traction system to help properly hold the foot and thus effectively rehabilitate it is the footwear, especially the bottom such as the sole or sole, significantly deformed. The textile footwear is thus capable of very limited and relatively inaccurate transmission of forces from the traction system. In addition, by using a textile trim sewn on the shoe upper around the foot, the forces of the traction system are improperly positioned near the foot axis, making use of a shorter lever arm than the distance between the foot axis and the foot and foot edge. supple textile upper. In addition, soft and pliable textile footwear cannot provide firm guidance to the foot, making rehabilitation less effective. While textile footwear is cheap, however, by pulling on the footwear or the textile trim, it is worn out in a short time, damaged and deteriorated, and the action of the pulling forces is difficult to define in its use, which reduces the rehabilitation effect.

The hitherto known rehabilitation systems work on the principle of flexible tension segments, using mainly textile shoes (training shoes) or textile sports shoes, regular shoes, or any shoes referred to as orthopedic. The use of this footwear reduces the effect of the spring's tensile force on the lower extremities, due to the action of the tensile spring forces near the foot axis and the ability of such footwear to transfer the tensile forces of the rehabilitation system to the lower extremities due to the softness of the footwear. inappropriate construction. Because walking is very difficult for the patient and the main stage of successful rehabilitation is the important and substantial efficiency and effectiveness of performing this part of the rehabilitation process.

The essence of the technical solution

The present technical solution removes the above drawbacks by utilizing the bottom of the shoe and the adjacent part of the upper, in particular for a fixed heel-guided orthopedic footwear intended for the rehabilitation of the lower limbs or any orthopedic or conventional footwear intended for the same use. The essence of the present invention consists in that the lower part of the shoe comprises individual layers, namely the insole, the midsole, the sole and the lower part of the upper continuing into the tensioning tab intended for connection with the midsole or the sole forming the lower shoe assembly. or over the entire circumference of the shoe bottom (bottom of the shoe), at the point as far as possible from the longitudinal axis of the insole at the sides of the bottom of the shoe and as far from the transverse axis of the shoe insole at the toe and heel adapted to engage in a traction rehabilitation system. Placing the suspension support segments at said location, i.e. substantially at the periphery of the foot pedal, will greatly increase the effectiveness of the traction rehabilitation system, since the tensile forces acting on the foot pedal can be adjusted individually to have a positive effect on the foot. the removal of gait defects and forces from the rehabilitation system act with the maximum arm of these forces against the lower limbs.

The lower part of the shoe in the context of this document means the insole, midsole, sole, lower part of the upper, continuing into the tensioning tab, or any other not mentioned here but to the person skilled in the art a clear layer in said part of the shoe.

The placement of the suspension support segments can be carried out in many variants on said individual layers of the bottom of the shoe. Preferably, the suspension support segments are mounted on a midsole or sole.

According to a preferred embodiment, the suspension support segments are mounted on the upper or lower surface of the midsole or in the midsole. It is further preferred that the suspension support segments are mounted on or in the sole.

In another preferred embodiment, the suspension support segments are mounted on a portion of the upper such as a tension tab and are preferably mounted on a portion of the upper which is a portion adjacent to the upper line - the upper tension tab and perpendicular to the upper tension tab.

Embodiments of the suspension support segments may also be in many variations, and since they are adapted to engage in a pulling rehabilitation system, the suspension support segments protruding from the bottom of the shoe are in the form of drops, loops or meshes.

Preferably, the hinge support segments are of a textile or plastic material, but alternatively may be made of any other suitable material, easily and functionally connectable to the bottom of the footwear. Suspension support segments are made of materials of sufficient strength, elasticity and other physical properties to ensure the transmission of tractive force from the tension springs of the rehabilitation system. These segments may be e.g. woven or knitted cords, laces, ropes of various finishes and the like. Preferably, such a material has a circular cross-section, but materials with a different cross-sectional shape, possibly solid or hollow, may also be used. The suspension support segments are connected by a carrier textile tape or other material for easier application to the bottom of the shoe.

The suspension support segments are fastened in the lower part of the shoe by various known methods used in the art, depending on the material used of the individual layers of the lower part of the shoe (bottom of the shoe), the material of the suspension support segments or the upper of the shoe. The most commonly used method is gluing or sewing or a combination thereof. Alternatively, the suspension support segments at the bottom of the shoe may be fastened by high frequency welding or other suitable means, and preferably together.

Advantageously, the elongate or pulling element, in particular of a resilient textile material, extending around the circumference of the bottom of the shoe may be threaded through the suspension support segments and serve to spatially stabilize the suspension support segments and restrict their movement during patient rehabilitation. However, the use of an elongate or pulling element is not necessary.

In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, at least one of the lower parts of the shoe may in particular be an outsole or midsole of a solid, support material intended to firmly hold and support the foot and the traction forces of the rehabilitation system. physiotherapist.

Forces from flexible suspension support anchors anchored by the midsole or sole and the resulting hooks to the rigid sole act far more effectively on the outcome of rehabilitation, or the forces act according to the location where the suspension is performed (such a location is intended for physiotherapists) undesirable position of the lower limbs and faulty gait. These forces are appropriately distributed to the adjoining area of the skeleton of the foot by means of a fixed heel-guided shoe, and the arm of the force is thus maximized and increases the effectiveness of rehabilitation.

Drop-shaped suspension support segments have the function of an eye for gripping the hook of the suspension rehabilitation system and the associated springs are made of a suitable textile or plastic material of preferably circular cross-section. The spacing of the suspension support segments is generally around the entire circumference of the bottom of the shoe, in particular of the midsole or sole, in density and size as required by the rehabilitator. These droplet-shaped suspension segments can also be provided only at predetermined points of circumference of the bottom of the shoe, in numbers and locations as required by the physiotherapist.

The orthopedic shoe according to the described technical solution may be supplemented with a correctional insert, or a correction may be incorporated in the sole. This embodiment improves the course and outcome of rehabilitation.

The use of the lower part of the shoe according to the described technical solution is also possible with individually manufactured orthopedic shoes. In such an orthopedic shoe, it is possible to use an orthopedic corrective pad, or a correction incorporated in the sole of the shoe may be used. This provides an increased effect when using a suspension spring system. The footwear constructed in this way can also be applied to a suitable casual or sports footwear of a particular patient by modifying the footwear with an orthopedic shoemaker by inserting it into the bottom of the footwear (sole or midsole) or by reworking the footwear of the standard footwear or the lower part of the shoe and the adjacent part of the upper.
