Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, applying only an upwardly directed force to the forefoot results in the foot not being lifted as a whole, but in a "bend" of said foot whereby the sole of the foot is stretched or even hyperextended
it's not beneficial either

Embodiment Construction

[0037] figure 1 A schematic representation of a foot lift orthosis 1 is shown. The foot lift orthosis has a first traction element 2 and a second traction element 4 , which respectively act with their ends on the forefoot region 6 of the foot 8 . The first traction element 2 extends from the forefoot region 6 along the dorsum of the foot 10 to a first bearing position 12 above the upper ankle joint. In this way, a first traction force can be applied to the forefoot region 6 , which extends along the first traction element 2 . Adjoining the rear end of the first traction element 2 is a holding tab 14 which extends upwards along the lower leg 16 and has an enclosing part 18 which can be fitted around the lower leg 16 . In this case, the surrounding portion 18 preferably has figure 1 A closure element, not shown in , allows the enclosure 18 to be opened for putting on and taking off the foot lift orthosis.

[0038] The second traction element 4 , which also acts in the forefo...

Abstract

The invention relates to a foot lifting orthosis (1) having at least one traction element (2), the first traction element being arranged to draw from the foot ( The forefoot region (6) of 8) extends along the instep (10) of the foot (8) and applies a first traction force to said forefoot region (6) in the direction of the first bearing position (12) above the upper ankle joint and at least one second traction element (4), which is arranged to direct a second traction force toward the heel region ( The direction of the second bearing position (22) in 24) is applied to the forefoot region (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a foot lifting orthosis. Background technique [0002] For example after a stroke (but also for other reasons) people often suffer from weakness in the lifting of the foot and the foot is in a so-called supinated position. In this case, the toes can no longer be raised enough, so that the risk of tripping increases considerably. [0003] In order to counteract this weakness, a series of different foot lift orthoses are known from the prior art. A foot lifting orthosis of the simplest construction consists of a collar (Manschette), which is placed around the wearer's leg above the ankle and has straps or traction elements which are in contact with shoes, especially Is the shoe's lace connection. As a result, an upwardly directed force is exerted on the shoe, which naturally also lifts the foot. However, it is disadvantageous that such orthoses cannot be worn barefoot and also with any shoes, and are moreover easily r...
