DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the present application provides a plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace, comprising a wearable body 1, a first strap 3, a second strap 4, a connecting pad 5, a toe cover 6, and a traction structure. The wearable body 1 includes a pedal 11 for supporting the sole of the foot and a leg side guard 12 integrally formed on the pedal 11 for extending along the calf. Specifically, the leg side guard 12 is integrally formed on one side of the rear end of the pedal 11 (corresponding to the heel). One end of the first strap 3 is connected to the pedal 11 and is located on the opposite side of the leg side guard 12. The first strap 3 is used to bypass the instep to tie the leg side guard 12 to the calf. One end of the second strap 4 is connected to the top of the leg side guard 12, and the second strap 4 cooperates with the leg side guard 12 to wrap the calf. One end of the connecting pad 5 is connected to the pedal 11, and the other end is connected to the toe cover 6. The traction structure includes a traction rope 8 and a locking structure. One end of the traction rope 8 is passed through the toe cover 6, and the other end is installed on the leg side guard 12. The toe cover 6 is pulled upward by the traction rope 8, thereby driving the toe end of the foot to bend upward. The locking structure is used to cooperate with the traction rope 8 to lock or unlock the traction rope 8 after the length is adjusted.

[0034] During use, the wearable body 1 is placed on the foot, with the toes positioned within the toe sleeve 6. The first strap 3 is passed around the instep and around the calf to tighten. The calf is then tied to the leg side guard 12 via the second strap 4. The traction rope 8 of the traction structure is retracted, causing the toe sleeve 6 to pull the toes upward. The toes are stretched with the support of the toe sleeve 6, and there is no squeeze or discomfort between the toes, which improves the stretching feeling and comfort. The plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace of this application is easy to wear and has a significant stretching effect, which is beneficial for promoting the recovery of patients with plantar fasciitis.

[0035] In this embodiment, the wearable body 1 includes a shell layer 13 and an inner lining cloth layer 14 attached to the inner side of the shell layer 13 for comfortable wearing. The shell layer 13 can be made of plastic to form the pedal 11 and the leg side guard 12 in one piece.

[0036] The toe cover 6 can be detachably arranged at the front end of the pedal 11; it can also be connected to the pedal 11 through the connecting pad 5, one end of the connecting pad 5 is connected to the pedal 11, and the other end is connected to the toe cover 6. Preferably, the toe cover 6 is connected to the pedal 11 through the connecting pad 5.

[0037] To accommodate people with different foot lengths, the toe cover 6 is mounted on the pedal 11 via the connecting pad 5 so that its position can be adjusted along the length of the foot. Optionally, the pedal 11 has multiple position adjustment holes 15 formed along the length of the foot. A connecting post 51 is formed on the bottom surface of one end of the connecting pad 5 and engages with the position adjustment hole 15. By selecting different positions of the position adjustment hole 15 to engage the connecting post 51, different lengths can be adjusted.

[0038] The connecting pad 5 includes a pad body 52 connected to the toe cover 6 and a connecting strap 53 connected to the pad body 52. ​​Multiple connecting posts 51 are provided on the connecting strap 53. The connecting strap 53 is narrower than the pad body 52 to facilitate bending when the toe cover 6 is stretched upward. The connecting strap 53 is made of a soft belt or a bendable elastic strip, while the pad body 52 can be made of an elastic material such as silicone.

[0039] Preferably, the toe cover 6 is a hard cover for easy traction. The toe cover 6 includes a base plate 61 and an arched portion 62 connected to the base plate 61. A space for accommodating toes is formed between the base plate 61 and the arched portion 62. The pad 52 is connected to the base plate 61. The connection method is optional. The bottom surface of the pad 52 is formed with a plurality of convex bumps, and the toe cover 6 is correspondingly formed with a plurality of concave holes. The convex bumps of the pad 52 are correspondingly inserted into the concave holes so that the toe cover 6 can be connected to the connecting pad 5. The traction rope 8 is passed through the middle position of the arched portion 62. The toe cover 6 cooperates with the arched portion 62 by setting the base plate 61. The base plate 61 can support the toes, and the arched portion 62 is convenient for connecting the traction rope 8 for stretching.

[0040] The locking mechanism preferably uses a knob 7 that cooperates with the traction rope 8. Products are currently available and can be purchased directly. Alternatively, a rope adjustment device such as the one disclosed in Publication No. CN210382859U or a knob-type rope adjuster such as the one disclosed in Publication No. CN115028027A can be used. The knob 7 is mounted on the leg side guard 12. The traction rope 8 is threaded through the toe cover 6 and inside the knob 7. Rotating the knob 7 retracts the traction rope 8, thereby pulling the toe cover 6 upward. The traction rope 8 is released by pressing or turning the knob 7.

[0041] It can be understood that the locking structure can also be fixed by a magic adhesive. A button hole is formed on the leg side guard 12, and the magic adhesive is formed on one end of the traction rope 8. The traction rope 8 has the magic adhesive end that passes through the button hole and then passes through the required adjusted length and then adheres to fix the traction end of the traction rope 8.

[0042] It is understood that the first and second straps 3, 4 can also be secured using Velcro. Connecting buckles 16 are located on both sides of the top of the leg guard 12, and the ends of the second strap 4 are attached to the connecting buckles 16 via Velcro. This facilitates assembly and disassembly of the second strap 4. One end of the first strap 3 is attached to the connection hole of the pedal 11 via Velcro, and the other end of the first strap 3 is attached to the first strap 3 via Velcro.

[0043] It can be understood that the plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace can be provided with a heel pad, which is installed on the pedal 11, specifically on the lining cloth layer 14 on the pedal 11, so as to support the heel and arch of the foot when worn. The support provided by the heel pad enhances the overall wrapping feeling and comfort.

[0044] In summary, when the plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace of the present application is used, the wearable body 1 is placed on the foot, with the toes positioned on the connecting pad 5. The first strap 3 is passed around the instep and wrapped around the calf to be tightened. The calf is tied to the leg side guard 12 via the second strap 4. The traction rope 8 is driven to contract, so that the toe sleeve 6 drives the toes to stretch upward. The toes are stretched under the support of the toe sleeve 6, and there is no squeeze or discomfort between the toes, which improves the stretching feeling and comfort of use. In particular, the knob 7 is used to drive the traction rope 8 to contract to stretch the toe sleeve 6, which makes the adjustment method more convenient and can achieve fine-tuning. The plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace of the present application is easy to wear, has a significant stretching effect, and is conducive to promoting the recovery of patients with plantar fasciitis.
