Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of sports protective gear, more particularly to a full forming pressure zoning sports ankle guard. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most sports will involve ankle joint, and ankle joint is strong in activity, heavy in weight and subjected to great impact, so it is easy to be damaged during sports. The incidence of ankle joint sports injury is only second to knee joint, and ankle sprain is the most common, accounting for about 75%-85% of all ankle joint sports injury cases. Such injuries often result in long-term limitation of patient's motor function, with an average recovery time of 6-8 weeks, and a recurrence rate of up to 40%-70%. Wearing ankle joint protectors during daily activities or sports can reduce the damage to joints caused by sports and relieve fatigue to some extent.

[0003] Most of the sports ankle guards on the market use uniform pressure or bandage structure, which can provide certain ankle joint support, but often have the following problems: 1. Excessive restriction of ankle joint activity affects sports flexibility; 2. Unreasonable pressure may cause local discomfort or insufficient protection; 3. Single material design cannot optimize the biomechanical requirements of different areas.

[0004] Lines of non-extension (LoNEs) are areas of the human skin and the tissues beneath it that neither stretch nor contract, and do not deform during movement. This concept is applied to improve the mobility of space suits, functional compression garment pattern design, and conceptual design of prosthetics and orthotics. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the technical problems of existing products, the utility model provides a pressure zoning knitted sports ankle guard designed based on the LoNEs principle, which uses multi-zone pressure control design to provide effective support for ankle joint while ensuring sports comfort.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A full forming pressure zoning sports ankle guard includes upper and lower collars, ankle front area, ankle heel covering area, lateral calf support area, medial calf support area, anterior calf area, posterior calf area, and forefoot area. The upper and lower collars are made of double-layer anti-slip knitting. The ankle front area is knitted with single-strand double-covered elastic yarn. The ankle heel covering area is knitted with double-strand elastic covered yarn. The lateral calf support area and medial calf support area are knitted with thick high-elastic covered yarn. The anterior calf area and posterior calf area are knitted with two types of high-elastic covered yarn. The forefoot area is knitted with two knitting systems in the same direction.

[0008] Further, the anterior ankle area is located in the transition area from the instep to the ankle joint, and after using single-strand double-covered elastic yarn to return to knitting, the structure is relatively light and thin, thereby avoiding fabric accumulation to cause discomfort when the ankle is dorsiflexed.

[0009] Further, the ankle-heel covering area is connected to the medial malleolus after covering the heel from the anterior tibiofibular ligament of the lateral malleolus, and is knitted by using double-strand elastic covering yarn and by using one knitting system to return to knitting flat knitting, so that the double-strand elastic covering yarn can provide effective support for the pressure area while still having high body fit and good contact comfort, thereby avoiding excessive inversion and eversion of the ankle joint and reducing the risk of ankle sprain.

[0010] Further, the lateral calf support area provides diagonal upward reinforcement support along the LoNES direction of the lateral malleolus, i.e., the tendon direction of the peroneus longus muscle, so that pressure is applied without interfering with the natural movement of the foot.

[0011] Further, the medial calf support area provides diagonal upward reinforcement support along the LoNES direction of the medial malleolus, i.e., the tendon direction of the tibialis anterior muscle, so that pressure is applied without interfering with the natural movement of the foot.

[0012] Further, the anterior calf area is located above the anterior ankle area along the tibia direction, and is knitted by using two high-elastic covering yarns and by using one knitting system to return to knitting 2x2 flat knitting, so as to provide certain pressure stimulation for the tibialis anterior muscle, help control the dorsiflexion and inversion of the ankle joint, and especially help maintain the stability of the ankle joint during running and jumping.

[0013] Further, the posterior calf area is located above the heel along the Achilles tendon direction, and is knitted by using two high-elastic covering yarns and by using one knitting system to return to knitting 2x2 flat knitting, so as to provide pressure stimulation for the soleus muscle, help delay fatigue of the plantar flexor muscle group, provide greater propulsion during running and jumping, and assist in buffering the impact of the ground when landing.

[0014] Further, the anterior foot area is a ring-shaped area wrapping the instep and the front transverse arch of the foot, and is knitted by using two knitting systems in the same direction, one of which knits flat knitting using nylon yarn, and the other of which knits 1x1 flat knitting using high-elastic rubber yarn, so that the two yarns and structures ensure that the area is wear-resistant and effectively stabilizes the metatarsal area.

[0015] The utility model adopts different specifications of yarns and structure, coordinates the pressure distribution of different areas, realizes the targeted stability support of the ankle joint, and has a significant effect in enhancing the stability of the ankle joint, delaying muscle fatigue, and reducing the impact force during exercise.
