Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a functional exercise device, and more specifically, to a functional exercise device for correcting flat feet and improving flexibility in children. Background Technology
[0002] In children with flat feet, the arch of the foot on the inner side of the foot is reduced. When standing, the arch descends or disappears, forming a duck-foot shape, affecting walking. It is divided into congenital and acquired flat feet. Congenital flat feet: Many children are born with mild signs of flat feet. Mild cases will return to normal as they grow up, while severe cases will begin to develop complications during puberty as their body grows. Orthotic shoes can be worn before the age of 8. If the child is over 8 years old, development is complete, and only functional insoles can be used to improve symptoms. Acquired flat feet: Acquired flat feet, also known as adult flat feet, are usually caused by mild congenital flat feet combined with tendon degeneration, obesity, and other factors.
[0003] Generally speaking, it is important to pay close attention to a child's walking posture and detect problems early. With the help of medication and rehabilitation therapy, early treatment can be very effective and may result in a complete cure, with a very high chance of success.
[0004] During treatment, stretching exercises are frequently used. The child stands on a stool with their feet off the ground, ankles suspended, allowing their body weight to relax naturally, thus stretching the Achilles tendon. However, children need to adjust their position on the stool themselves, which is inconvenient, and the stool is not fixed, raising safety concerns. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a functional exercise device for correcting flat feet and improving flexibility in children, which can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
