Description

Plantar core muscle group training device and training method

The present invention relates to a plantar core muscle group training device and training method, in particular, it refers to that the metatarsal and heel of the foot are applied downward to make the arch of the foot naturally arch to induce the arch support. A training device and training method for contraction of the core muscle group of the plantar.

In 2015, the article "The foot core system: A new paradigm for understanding intrinsic foot muscle function" written by Patrick O Mckeon and others on the British Journal of Sports Medicine proposed that the sole of the foot has a concept similar to the core muscle group of the trunk When the arc and control are abnormal, the movement of the lower limbs will produce the wrong compensation mode, and then cause pain or injury to other joints and parts.

Among them, the foot muscles include internal muscles (responsible for stability, providing perception, internal movements) and external muscles (responsible for major movements). See http://savy203.pixnet.net/blog/post/195946155-%3C%E8%B6%B3%E7%9F%A5%E8%AD%98%3E-%E8%B6%B3%E6%A0 %B8%E5%BF%83%E8%A8%93%E7%B7%B4%E9%81%8B%E5%8B%95 , intrinsic muscle groups include (1) abductor hallucis; (2) flexor digitorum brevis; (3) abductor digitiminimi; (4) quadratus plantae (quadratus plantae); (5) lumbrical muscles (lumbricals); (6) flexion Short toe (flexor digitiminimi); (7) adductor hallucis oblique; (8) flexor hallucis brevis; (9) plantar interossei; 10) Dorsal interossei; (11) extensor digitorum brevis.

Traditionally, towel grabbing is often used as the basis for foot training, but this exercise will produce more toe bending movements. In fact, most of the muscle groups trained are external muscle groups.

In order to strengthen the intrinsic muscles of the plantar, the clinical concept of short foot exercise is used. The heel and toe metacarpal joints are concentrated inwardly through the immobilization of the toes, and the action of raising the arch of the foot is used as training to improve Inner muscles maintain the elasticity of the arch of the foot and the stability of the joints, but short-foot sports often have learning difficulties and the inability to effectively perform this exercise training. Often due to the lack of sufficient external cues and goals, generally after learning the training method, often Because the action error induces the external muscle groups, compensatory compensation occurs, which makes the training less effective.

Based on the above-mentioned active plantar intrinsic muscle group training, the problem of poor training results often due to wrong force application. There is the "Pavo Arch Inducer" of the Republic of China Patent No. 200611682. The case is arranged on a central protruding substrate Irregularly shaped three-dimensional column with different heights, which is laid on the floor or the ground by a plurality of substrates, thereby forming a floor with high and low waves to stimulate the human foot muscles, strengthen muscle training, achieve The effect of passive training on the inner muscles of the plantar. But the effect of passive training is often not as good as the training effect of correct active muscle force.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a plantar core muscle group trainer, hoping to achieve the effect of active training of the plantar inner muscle group through the trainer of the present invention.

The plantar core muscle group training device of the invention is used for stepping on a foot to train the plantar core muscle group of the foot, including: A bottom plate has a front part and a rear part; a resistance bar is arranged at the front part of the bottom part and corresponds to the position of one of the metatarsals of the foot; and a band is arranged between the front part and the rear part of the bottom part Bind the back of one of the feet.

Further, there is a resistance bar fixing pad on the front of the bottom plate. Furthermore, the resistance bar is detachably fixed on the resistance bar fixing pad.

Further, the bottom plate extends a plurality of pairs of fixing parts between the front part and the rear part, and the strap includes two fixing parts for fixing on the fixing parts, and a band body connects the two fixing parts . Furthermore, the band is adjustably connected to the two fixing members.

Further, the resistance bar has a semicircular arc shape.

The invention is also a training method for the core muscle group of the plantar, including:

A trainer treads the metatarsal bones of his foot on a raised resistance rod; binds the instep of the foot with a strap; the heel and metatarsal of the trainer's foot apply downward force to make the The arch of the foot naturally arches to induce contraction of the plantar core muscles required for arch support, and the binding force of the band is used to strengthen the contraction strength of the plantar core muscles.

According to the above technical features, the following effects can be achieved:

1. In the present invention, the metatarsal and heel of the foot exert a force toward the bottom plate, so that the arch of the foot naturally arches to induce contraction of the plantar core muscles required for arch support, while using the strap The binding force of the muscles strengthens the contraction strength of the core muscles of the plantar, and achieves the purpose of actively training the core muscles of the plantar.

2. The resistance bar and the strap can be replaced or adjusted to different strengths for the trainer to perform different strength training, for example, young and middle-aged people can do higher-intensity training, and young children and the elderly can reduce the training strength.

3. The fixing parts of the harness and the resistance bar can be adjusted to suit the feet of trainers of different sizes.
