Problems solved by technology

These injuries can also be treated with tape or semi-rigid braces, but both have significant limitations as they provide limited support, especially for repeated injuries, and often reduce the wearer's freedom of movement
Also, after changing the exercise cycle, the limiting effect of the tape is lost (Am J Sports Med (Am J Sports Medicine), November 2010, Vol. 38, No. 11 2194-2200)

Embodiment Construction

[0060] in the attached picture Figure 1 to Figure 3 and Figure 7 A shoe 100 is shown including a sole 102 having a ground engaging surface 104 and a lateral edge 106 and a medial edge 108 . The lateral connecting portion 110 interconnects and extends between the ground engaging surface 104 and the lateral edge 106 of the sole 102, and the medial connecting portion 112 interconnects the ground engaging surface 104 and the medial edge of the sole 102. The edge 108 also extends between the ground engaging surface 104 of the sole 102 and the medial edge 108 .

[0061] Areas of reduced friction 114 , 214 and 116 , 216 are provided at the outer connection portion 110 . like figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the area of ​​reduced friction extends for a portion of the length at the lateral edge 106 of the shoe, and the area of ​​reduced friction extends from the ground engaging surface 104 of the sole 102 and well into the lateral edge 106 . figure 1 The illustrated embodiment...

Abstract

A shoe (100), notably a sports shoe useful for preventing ankle injuries comprises a sole (102) with a ground-engaging surface (102), and lateral and medial edges (106; 108) associated with respectivelateral and medial connecting portions (110; 112) interconnecting and extending between the ground-engaging surface (104) and the lateral and medial edges (106; 108). At least one of the connecting portions (110; 112) defines a surface area of reduced friction (114; 116) provided, e.g., in the form of retrofitted patches (115; 117), which are circumferentially surrounded by adjacent surface areas(103; 105; 107) having a relatively high coefficient of friction. Hence, friction is differentiated in different areas of those parts of the shoe which are implicated in injury mechanisms, and injuries may thus be prevented in the recovery phase after injury, and primary prophylaxis may be achieved. The area of reduced friction (114; 116) reduces the ability of the wearer's foot to rotate relative to ground when the load of the wearer's body is shifted towards or lands near the edge (106; 108) of the shoe (100).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a custom-made shoe, typically an athletic shoe, for reducing the risk of ankle injury. The invention also relates to a patch to be retrofitted to an existing shoe in order to prevent ankle damage. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method of preventing ankle injuries of a person wearing shoes. Background technique [0002] Ankle injuries are estimated to account for 15-30% of all sports injuries. In the United States alone, 23,000 people are injured every day. The average cost of treatment for sprains and strains in the United States is $2294 (ASPE Issue Brief, March 2014). Based on these figures and assuming that most ankle injuries are sprains and strains, the estimated annual treatment costs for ankle injuries total $3-6 billion. This cost does not include lost productivity due to injury, which can be significant especially for professional high-income athletes, and at a social level for al...
