Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and health care equipment technology, and in particular to a foot correction device. Background Technology

[0002] Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity characterized by the outward subluxation of the big toe and the inward displacement of the first metatarsal bone. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly women and is often associated with congenital genetic factors and prolonged wearing of ill-fitting shoes. It can lead to foot pain, bunions, and other adverse symptoms that affect gait.

[0003] With increasing attention to foot health and a growing number of patients with hallux valgus, the demand for effective treatment and correction of hallux valgus is becoming increasingly urgent. Hallux valgus correctors, as a non-surgical treatment method, have received widespread attention and application due to their advantages such as relative convenience and low risk.

[0004] Publication number CN221450867U discloses a wearable hallux valgus corrector, which relates to the field of orthopedic device technology. The solution includes a napped fabric body and a corrective herringbone strip. The napped fabric body includes a thumb fixing part, an instep fixing part and a heel fixing part fixedly arranged in sequence. The corrective herringbone strip is located on the side of the napped fabric body and is simultaneously fixed on the thumb fixing part and the instep fixing part to correct the big toe from multiple angles. The corrective force can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0005] Despite advancements in this technology, the structure and function of these corrective devices remain relatively simple. They are often made of elastic fabric combined with a fixation plate, such as the common hallux valgus corrector. It primarily corrects the big toe by applying a backward pulling force. However, this method is too simplistic, and prolonged use of the bandage can easily lead to poor blood circulation in the foot. Poor blood circulation, in turn, prevents muscles from receiving sufficient energy during exercise. For example, during strength training to build muscle memory, muscles require a significant amount of energy to contract. If blood supply is insufficient, the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the muscles decreases, leading to reduced muscle contraction force and inaccurate movement. Therefore, it fails to effectively activate muscles to form muscle memory, making hallux valgus prone to relapse.

[0006] In response, CN 215691086 U discloses an electric hallux valgus corrector, including electrode pads. A corrector body is movably mounted on the rear side of the electrode pads, and an anti-slip mechanism is fixedly mounted on the front side of the electrode pads. The anti-slip mechanism includes a magnetic snap, a first connecting strap, Velcro, a second connecting strap, a female buckle, a female buckle, and a sweat-absorbing strip. The magnetic snap is fixedly mounted on the front side of the corrector body, the first connecting strap is fixedly mounted on the top of the electrode pads, Velcro is fixedly mounted on the front side of the first connecting strap, and the second connecting straps are fixedly mounted on both the top and bottom of the electrode pads. While the corrector body stimulates the foot to increase blood circulation, it occupies space, making it difficult for the user to put on shoes.

[0007] In response, both public numbers CN221450867U and CN 215691086U suffer from limited functionality and cannot meet the needs of users for multi-functional applications.

[0008] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems need to be solved. content

Detailed Implementation

[0052] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0053] To address the problem of limited functionality in existing foot orthotics, the inventors have provided a foot orthotics device that offers multiple functions, thus overcoming this limitation.

[0054] This technical solution provides a foot correction device for correcting hallux valgus, such as... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, with the left side of the paper as the left side and the right side of the paper as the right side, from left to right, the foot correction device includes a foot fixing strap 1, a correction adjustment part 2, a display part 3, and a display part connecting strap 4. The foot fixing strap 1 includes a first strap 11 and a second strap 12. Preferably, in a specific embodiment, the first strap 11 and the second strap 12 are made of fabric such as cotton or linen, and each of the first strap 11 and the second strap 12 has Velcro fasteners for securing the ends of the straps after they are wrapped around the foot. It should also be noted that the first strap 11 is used to fix the big toe, and the second strap 12 is used to fix the ankle.

[0055] The corrective adjustment part 2 includes a support 21, an adjustment part 22, a fixing seat 23, a rack 24, and a pressing part 25. The support 21 is made of plastic or rubber and extends along the medial side of the first metatarsal bone of the foot to the medial cuneiform bone, forming an inward support angle on the medial side of the big toe to improve the support force of the medial side of the foot during activity.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the outer side of the support member 21 is connected to the fixing seat 23. The fixing seat 23 includes a first fixing member 231, which has a first ring buckle 2311. The first strap 11 passes through the first ring buckle 2311, and the first fixing member 231 is pivotally connected to a second fixing member 232. The first fixing member 212 can rotate relative to the second fixing member 232. When the user wears the correction device, the first fixing member 231 contacts the inside of the thumb, and the second fixing member 232 is fixed to the outer side of the support member 21 and is integrally formed with the support member 21 or detachably connected by means of a buckle or other means.

[0057] The second fixing member 232 also has relatively symmetrical upwardly extending connecting portions 233. The adjusting portions 22 are movably connected to both sides of one end of the connecting portion 233 in the width direction. One end of the adjusting portion 22 is pivotally connected to the fixing base 23 or connected via a torsion spring, so that when the adjusting portion 22 is subjected to an upward external force, the other end of the adjusting portion 22 can move upward or downward relative to the fixing base 23. The adjusting portion 22 is also drively connected to the rack 24. When the adjusting portion 22 moves upward, it pushes the rack 24 to move along a predetermined path in a first direction, causing the first fixing member 231 to pull and adjust the outward angle of the thumb. When the adjusting portion 22 moves downward, it restricts the rack 24 from moving along the predetermined path in the first direction D, fixing the first fixing member 231 to pull and adjust the outward angle of the thumb. Therefore, the adjusting portion 22 is used to adjust the angle of thumb eversion to correct thumb eversion. It should be noted that the predetermined route is the path of the rack 24 from the end of the first fixing member 231 to the end of the second fixing member 232, and the first direction D refers to... Figure 1 The direction shown is from left to right.

[0058] like Figure 2As shown, a channel 234 is formed between the two connecting parts 233. The channel 234 has a rack 24. One end of the rack 24 is located outside the first fixing member 231, that is, at the left end of the fixing seat 23. The other end of the rack 24 extends along a predetermined line to the second fixing member 232, that is, it extends out from the right end of the fixing seat 23. The rack 24 can move left and right in the channel 234.

[0059] For example Figure 2 As shown, the second fixing member 232 also has two second ring buckles 211. The two second ring buckles 211 are located on the upper and lower sides of the width direction of the second fixing member 232, respectively. The second ring buckles 211 are used to connect the display part connecting strap 4. One end of the display part connecting strap 4 is fixed in the lower second ring buckle 211, and the other end of the display part connecting strap 4 can pass through the upper second ring buckle 211 after the display part connecting strap wraps around the foot, so that the support member 21 is in close contact with the inner side of the foot.

[0060] The right end of the support member 21 has a third ring buckle 212, through which the second strap 12 is threaded.

[0061] In actual use, the first fastener 231 fits against the inside of the big toe, and then the first strap 11 is wrapped around the big toe to a suitable looseness. The end of the first strap 11 is then attached to the Velcro part so that the first strap 11 is fixed to a tightness suitable for the big toe.

[0062] After the thumb has reached the appropriate tightness, the display section connecting strap 4 is wrapped around the arch of the foot to the appropriate tightness, and then the Velcro is used to fix it in place to maintain the appropriate tightness.

[0063] In one embodiment of the utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, one end of the display unit connecting band 4 is connected to the correction and adjustment part 2, and the other end of the display unit connecting band 4 is detachably electrically connected to the display unit 3. The display unit 3 falls exactly on the instep area after the display unit connecting band 4 wraps around the foot.

[0064] In this embodiment, the display unit 3 is an electronic watch, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the electronic watch has a control circuit 31 inside, which is electrically connected to a display circuit 311, a current input circuit 312, and a current output circuit 313. The current input circuit 312 is used to connect to an external power source, so that the external power source can supply power to the electronic watch.

[0065] The control circuit 31 adjusts or decreases the voltage in the current output circuit 313 to achieve the purpose of outputting high current or low current. That is, the control circuit 31 controls the output of different circuit parameters of the current output circuit 313 to form different massage levels.

[0066] The current output circuit 313 is also connected to the display circuit 311, so that the display circuit 311 displays the current parameters in the current output circuit 314 through the display screen. The control circuit 31 is also electrically connected to a control button, which is located on the side of the electronic watch and has preset current output parameters. Specifically, the user selects the desired current parameters by pressing different buttons.

[0067] Further such as Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the display unit connecting strip 4 has a first electromagnetic buckle 41; the back of the display unit 3, which is adapted to the first electromagnetic buckle 41, has a second electromagnetic buckle 42; the first electromagnetic buckle 41 and the second electromagnetic buckle 42 are magnetically connected.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first magnetic buckle 41 is a conductive female magnetic buckle, and the second magnetic buckle 42 is a conductive male magnetic buckle.

[0069] Specifically, the electromagnetic male buckle is provided on the inner surface of the electronic watch, and the end surface of the display part connecting strip 4 that matches the electromagnetic male buckle facing the inside of the display part 3 has an electromagnetic female buckle. The electromagnetic male buckle and the electromagnetic female buckle are magnetically attracted to each other to form a detachable electrical connection.

[0070] In another detachable connection embodiment, the first electromagnetic buckle 41 and the second electromagnetic buckle 42 are replaced with electrode plates. A slot is provided near the plate, and the inner surface of the display unit 3, which is adapted to this slot, has a protrusion. By sliding the protrusion into the slot, the two electrode plates located on different sides come into contact, thereby applying a microcurrent to the skin of the foot to stimulate the skin, improve blood circulation, and exercise muscles. Furthermore, the user can press different buttons to obtain different currents, thus changing the intensity of the microcurrent stimulation on the skin and achieving different massage levels.

[0071] In summary, this design allows the user to perform electrical stimulation massage by simply attaching the display unit 3 to the electrode plate on the second electromagnetic buckle 42 or the display unit connecting strap 4.

[0072] Other examples Figure 5As shown, the end face of the display unit connecting band 4 facing the sole of the foot has a pulsed current stimulation part 43; the pulsed current stimulation part 43 is electrically connected to the display unit 3. It should be noted that the pulsed current stimulation part 43 is electrically connected to the control circuit 31 and the current output circuit 313 in the display unit 3. The control circuit 31 controls the current flow in the current output circuit 313 to the pulsed current stimulation part 43, enabling the pulsed current stimulation part 43 to stimulate the sole of the foot.

[0073] In addition, to adjust the angle of thumb eversion, the user can flip the adjustment part 22. Each time the adjustment part 22 is flipped, the rack 24 moves in a predetermined direction. Figure 1 Move one tooth from left to right.

[0074] Detailed, such as Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the adjusting part 22 has an extension 221 at one end facing the rack 24; the extension 221 has a first inclined surface 2211 and a first vertical surface 2212; the rack 24 has a serrated part 241; the serrated part 241 has a second inclined surface 2411 and a second vertical surface 2412; the first inclined surface 2211 is in contact with the second inclined surface 2411; the first vertical surface 2212 is in contact with the second vertical surface 2412.

[0075] In use, when the user flips the adjustment part 22, causing it to rotate relative to the fixed base 23, when the adjustment part 22 rotates upwards (away from the fixed base 23), the ceremonial inclined surface 2211 at the end of the extension part 221 near the rack 24 moves along the inclined surface of the second inclined surface 2411 to between the second inclined surface 2411 and the second vertical surface 2412. This completes the movement of the rack 24 along a predetermined direction by one tooth. As the rack 24 moves, the thumb is pulled inwards towards the foot at the end of the first fixing member 231, thereby adjusting the thumb eversion angle. It should be understood that if a larger thumb eversion angle is required, a larger angle needs to be pulled inwards towards the foot. In this embodiment, it is only necessary to pull the adjustment part 22 upwards multiple times to move the rack 24 along a predetermined direction from left to right by multiple teeth, thereby increasing the angle at which the thumb is pulled inwards towards the foot.

[0076] In another application scenario, if a larger angle of displacement of the thumb towards the inside of the foot is required, the rack 24 needs to be moved along the second direction F, such as... Figures 7 to 8As shown, specifically, the correction adjustment part 2 further includes a pressing part 25; the pressing part 25 has a pressing end 251 and a locking end 252; when the pressing end 251 is not under force, the locking end 252 locks the rack 24 to move in the direction opposite to the first direction of the predetermined path; when the pressing end 251 is under force, the locking end 252 unlocks the rack 24 to move in the first direction of the predetermined path or in a second direction opposite to the first direction. It should be noted that the second direction is as follows: Figure 1 The direction of movement is shown from right to left.

[0077] In detail, the locking end 252 has a third inclined surface 2521 and a third vertical surface 2522. When the rack 24 is in contact with the locking end 252, the rack 24 can only move from left to right relative to the locking end 252. In this scenario, the second vertical surface 2412 of the rack 24 abuts against the third vertical surface 2522, and the third vertical surface 2522 prevents the rack 24 from moving to the left. This thus fixes the angle at which the thumb moves inward toward the foot.

[0078] However, when the pressing end 251 is pressed to disengage the locking end 252 from the rack 24, the second vertical surface 2412 loses the obstruction of the third vertical surface 2522, allowing the rack 24 to move to the left under the pull of an external force. This reduces the angle at which the thumb moves towards the inside of the foot.

[0079] After fixing the angle of the thumb moving inward toward the foot, wrap the second strap 12 around the ankle until the tightness is appropriate, so as to further assist the foot orthosis to be worn on the foot. After wearing it, the user's walking, running and other usage scenarios will not be affected.

[0080] In another embodiment, a pad 6 can be attached inside the support 21, which contacts the skin on the inside of the foot, to increase the comfort of the user wearing the foot orthotic device.

[0081] In summary, the foot correction device of this technical solution can correct hallux valgus from two aspects: microcurrent and angle adjustment. Furthermore, the stimulation microcurrent can be adjusted through the detachably connected display unit 3, and the display unit 3 can be detached when shoes and the correction device need to be worn. This gives the foot correction device of this technical solution multiple functions, effectively overcoming the problem of single-function correction devices in the prior art.

[0082] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
