Problems solved by technology

In addition, due to the development of transportation in recent years, the number of people prone to lack of exercise has increased, and the chances of body deformation due to office work with unnatural postures during office work have increased.
If there are these deformations of the body, sometimes the landing of the feet becomes unnatural, and the position of the center of gravity is shifted, which in turn worsens the deformation of the body
[0003] As an instrument for correcting such a deformation of the body, the toe support ring of Patent Document 1 is known, but its shape is complicated, and it is worn only on the thumb of the foot, and the posture is maintained by making people always aware of the toes
However, there is a problem that it is difficult to keep wearing for a long time because the consciousness is always focused on the toes

Embodiment 1

[0060] The distance from the ground with the body bent forward was measured on five women and three men before and after wearing the toe strap of the present invention. The toes involved in the forward bending of the body are the ring toe and the little toe, but the toes to be worn are determined according to the deformation of each person's body. The direction to twist the toe strap is toward the instep side and in the direction of the little toe. exist figure 1 The results are shown in .

[0061] (Table 1)

[0062]

[0063] As shown in Table 1, in the case of females, the flexibility increased by a minimum of 7 cm (test subject 1) and a maximum of 23 cm (test subject 2). In the case of males, the flexibility increased by a minimum of 5 cm (subject 6) and a maximum of 16 cm (subject 8).

[0064] These effects are considered to be the effects of stabilizing the ground of the toes, correcting deformation of the body, and stabilizing the center of gravity as a result of w...

Embodiment 2

[0066] The effect of the toe strap of the present invention was measured by measuring the pressure on the sole of the foot using a plantar pressure distribution measuring device FootLook (manufactured by Recontre (ラコントゥル) Co., Ltd.). Respectively Figure 4~6 shows the pressure distribution of the soles of the feet of people with frozen shoulder, knee pain in the right leg, and pain in the left hip before and after wearing. As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the ground pressure (body weight) is evenly applied to the soles of the feet after wearing compared to before wearing. In addition, people with frozen shoulder ( Figure 4 ) whose left hand can be lifted upwards, and those who have pain in the knee joint of the right leg ( Figure 5 ) who can easily go up and down stairs without a support, people with left hip pain ( Figure 6 ) because of this, the body leans, but the body weight is applied to the left foot, and the leaning of the body is cured, and it is possi...

Embodiment 3

[0068] butt lift experiment

[0069] Nine female testees (aged in their thirties to forties wore the torsion belt of the present invention on the middle toes of both feet in a manner of twisting the toe side from above.

[0070] As a result, nine out of nine people felt a butt lift. Therefore, questionnaires were obtained on a 10-point scale of 1 to 10 for personal feelings. Evaluation was performed with the time when not worn being set at 5. In addition, a questionnaire (Table 2) was also obtained for the impressions seen by the surrounding people.

[0071] [Table 2]

[0072]

[0073] As a result, three of the nine testees scored 8, three scored 7, and three scored 6. None of the testees received an evaluation of 5 or less before wearing.

[0074] I checked my own impressions, and the impressions I got are that the center of gravity is forward, the waist is bent (Japanese: 反る), and sagging. After wearing it, I feel that it is lifted, and the flesh of the buttocks is re...

Abstract

Provided is an appliance for stabilizing the center of gravity and / or correcting distortion of the body simply through wearing of the appliance on a toe and conducting normal activities. The followinginvention is provided by the present invention. A cylindrical orthotic appliance that corrects distortion of the body, wherein: the orthotic appliance has inward-facing triangular-prism-shaped protrusions on the inner circumference; the triangles are inclined in one direction with respect to the circumference; and the orthotic appliance comprises a cylindrical elastic material having a diameter of 7-20 mm, a width of 5-10 mm, a thickness of 1-3 mm, and a hardness of 4-6.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a correction appliance for improving body deformation. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the westernization of lifestyle, opportunities for kneeling (Japanese: upright seat) in daily life have become less and less, but there is still a certain degree of reservation. In addition, due to the development of transportation in recent years, the number of people prone to lack of exercise has increased, and the chances of body deformation due to office work with unnatural postures during office work have increased. If there is such a deformation of the body, the foot landing may become unnatural, and the position of the center of gravity may be shifted, which may worsen the deformation of the body. [0003] As an instrument for correcting such physical deformation, the support ring for toes of Patent Document 1 is known, but its shape is complicated, and it is only worn on the thumb of the foot, and the posture is m...
