Definitions
- This invention relates to an assembly of an accessory and a shoe for supporting a footdrop-affected foot relative to a lower leg belonging to the foot such that the foot is prevented from dropping down relative to the lower leg when the foot is raised by the lower leg from a supporting surface, the accessory being provided with a first attachment member for attachment of the accessory to the lower leg, a second attachment member for attachment of the accessory to an upper side of the shoe, and a connecting body joining together the first attachment member and the second attachment member.
- the invention relates to an accessory of the assembly for providing (bottom) support to a footdrop-affected foot.
- the referred-to assembly is known and is described in, for instance, US patent specification 4,329,982.
- the shoe of the assembly is provided with a special modification for attaching the second attachment member to the shoe.
- a disadvantage of the known assembly is that the shoe of the assembly is restricted to a particular type.
- the shoe of the known assembly is provided with a clearly visible attaching eye.
- Attaching the accessory to the shoe with the first attachment member takes place in a conspicuous and laborious manner. Besides, it holds that the point of engagement of the second attachment member is not at mid-length of the shoe, so that a twisting supporting force is applied to the shoe with the foot-drop affected foot.
- the invention provides an assembly which is characterized in that the second attachment member is provided with an attachment plate which, in use, is positioned under an upper part of the shoe.
- the attachment plate which, in use, is positioned under an upper part of the shoe.
- the accessory can be detachably connected to the shoe.
- the shoe is a lace-up shoe
- the attachment plate can be positioned between at least a part of the lace and an upper tongue extending in the longitudinal direction of the shoe while, in use, the attachment plate is laced between the lace and the upper tongue.
- the attachment plate is positioned in at least a part of the lace and, during use, is laced in the lace.
- the attachment plate can be arranged at a position such that the resultant of the supporting force to be transmitted acts on the shoe at a desired location. Consequently, it is possible, inter alia, viewed in a transverse direction of the shoe, to have the resultant act at mid-length of the shoe, so that in the transverse direction, the foot-drop affected foot does not experience, or hardly experiences torsion of the supporting force.
- the attachment plate is manufactured from a flexible material.
- the plate can be modeled on, for instance, the instep of the foot-drop affected foot for obtaining a favorable comfort in wearing.
- the connecting plate tapers in a direction away from the connecting body, so that a good adaptation to, inter alia, the upper part of the shoe can be obtained.
- the first attachment member is provided with an attachment strap which, in use, is wrapped around the lower leg.
- the attachment strap With the attachment strap, the accessory can be attached to the lower leg in a comfortable manner.
- the attachment strap is provided with a Velcro closure for opening and closing the strap, so that the strap can be rapidly and fittingly attached to the leg.
- the connecting body is substantially provided with a strip-shaped part.
- the strip-shaped part can be designed to be flexible for obtaining an optimal supporting characteristic.
- the upward force applied to the foot-drop affected foot can be adapted to the relative position of the foot-drop affected foot relative to the leg in a dynamic manner which is well in line with the natural way of walking.
- the strip-shaped part is provided with a first strip-shaped subpart and a second strip-shaped subpart and a closure for detachably joining together the first and the second strip - shaped subpart.
- the invention also relates to the accessory of the assembly as further defined in claims 14 - 23.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective representation of the accessory according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic perspective side view of an assembly according to the invention which is put into use by a person having a foot-drop affected foot.
- an accessory 2 for supporting a foot-drop affected foot relative to a lower leg belonging to the foot such that the foot is prevented from dropping down relative to the lower leg when the foot is raised by the lower leg from a supporting surface.
- the accessory is provided with a first attachment member 4 for attachment of the accessory 2 to the lower leg, a second attachment member 6 for attachment of the accessory 2 to an upper side of a shoe 8 enclosing the foot-drop affected foot, and a connecting body 14 joining together the first attachment member 4 and the second attachment member 6.
- the second attachment member 6 is provided with an attachment plate 7 which, in use, is positioned under an upper part (such as a tongue, shoe lace or edge) of the shoe 8 (see Fig. 2).
- the first attachment member 4 is an attachment strap 5, provided with first Velcro parts 10.1 which can cooperate with second Velcro parts 10.2 for closing the strap 5.
- the strap 5 can be attached around the leg relatively rapidly in a fitting manner.
- the connecting body 14 is substantially provided with a strip-shaped part connected by a hinged joint connection 16 to the strap 5 and connected by a hinged joint connection 20 to the attachment plate 7.
- the strip-shaped part is preferably manufactured from a flexible material with which a favorable supporting characteristic of the foot-drop affected foot is obtained.
- the strap 5 is provided with a recess 24 in which the point of attachment of the strap 5 and the connecting body 14 can be received when wrapping the strap 5 around the leg with the foot-drop affected foot.
- the strip-shaped part of the connecting body 14 is provided with a quick-acting closure 22 for detachably joining together a first strip-shaped subpart 14.1 and a second strip-shaped subpart 14.2. With the quick-acting closure 22, the strap 5 can be disconnected from the connecting plate 7.
- FIG. 2 an assembly 26 of an accessory 2 and a shoe 8 for providing (bottom) support to the foot-drop affected foot is shown.
- the shoe according to the example of Fig. 2 is a lace-up shoe with a lace 30.
- the strap 5 has been wrapped around a lower leg 32 of a user.
- the connecting plate 7 mentioned is attached to the shoe 8.
- This attachment can take place in various manners.
- the attachment plate 7 is positioned between at least a part of the lace 30 and an upper tongue 34 extending in the longitudinal direction of the shoe so that, during use, the plate 7 is forced between the lace 30 and the upper tongue 34. In this case, the plate 7 lies completely under the lace 30.
- the plate 7 is positioned in at least a part of the lace 30 and is laced, in use, in the lace 30.
- the plate lies between overlying parts of the lace 30 and underlying parts of the lace 30.
- the attachment plate 7 can at least partly be enclosed by a part of the lace 30.
- the attachment plate 7 is provided with lacing eyelets for pulling through the lace 30.
- FIG. 2 the connecting plate 7 and the tongue 34 are schematically represented in dotted lines.
- the connecting plate 7 After closure of the shoe by tightening the lace 30, the connecting plate 7 is clamped in between the tongue 34 and the lace 30 and, optionally the tightened edges of the shoe 8. If the first part of the connecting body 14.1 is joined to the second part of the connecting body 14.2 by means of the closure 22, then the user, when walking, experiences an upward (supporting) force 36 which acts on a point located near the tongue 34 of the shoe 8.
- the attachment plate 7 is manufactured from a flexible material which can model itself on the shape of the instep of the shoe and the foot-drop affected foot enclosed by the shoe. Further, it holds that, preferably, the attachment plate tapers slightly in a direction away from the connecting body 14. With these features, a good adaptation of the attachment member 6 to the shoe 8 is obtained, thereby realizing favorable comfort in wearing.
- the supporting force 36 is determined by the type of material of the connecting body and the length of this strip.
- the connecting body 14 can be provided with several closing elements 22, so that different connecting sub-bodies of, for instance, different materials and different lengths can be fitted into the accessory for obtaining the supporting characteristic of the upwardly directed (supporting) force 36 desired by the user.
- the upwardly directed (supporting) force 36 is transmitted via the shoe 8 to the foot-drop affected foot.
- the user can undo the closure 22. It is also possible, after undoing the closure 22, to take the shoe 8 off without the attachment plate 7 having to be detached from the shoe 8.
- the connecting plate 7 By designing the connecting plate 7 to be transparent, the accessory is hardly visible. Further, the strap 7 and/or the connecting body 14 can be provided with an appropriate color such as, for instance, black, so as to realize an inconspicuous accessory 2.
