Description

Translated fromJapanese

本発明は、外反母趾の症状を緩和するために足指の間に取り付けて使用される外反母趾用装具に関する。  The present invention relates to a device for hallux valgus that is used by being attached between toes to alleviate symptoms of hallux valgus.

外反母趾とは、足の親指が小指の方向に向かって屈曲した状態をいい、遺伝・疾患等の体質や健康状態、靴・仕事・スポーツ等の生活環境、及び身体の姿勢異常や歩行バランスの異常が主な原因とされている。  Hallux valgus is a condition in which the big toe is bent in the direction of the little finger, constitution and health condition such as heredity / disease, living environment such as shoes / work / sports, abnormal posture of the body, and abnormal walking balance. Is the main cause.

外反母趾の症状が進行すると足の痛みが生じるのみならず、姿勢の悪化を招いて膝の痛みや腰痛等の原因ともなる。そこで、従来、外反母趾の症状を緩和するための各種装具が開発されている。こうした外反母趾用装具としては、例えば、伸縮性を有する布バンドを足の甲、足の裏、及び足指に巻回することで親指を引っ張って正常な位置に保持するものや、足の親指と人差し指の間に弾性樹脂等から成るパッドを挟持して指の間を押し広げることで親指の曲がりを補正するものなどが知られている。  The progression of hallux valgus not only causes foot pain, but also causes posture deterioration and causes knee pain and back pain. Therefore, various devices for relieving the symptoms of hallux valgus have been developed. Such a device for hallux valgus is, for example, one in which a stretchable cloth band is wound around the instep, sole, and toe to pull the thumb and hold it in a normal position, There is known a technique that corrects the bending of the thumb by sandwiching a pad made of an elastic resin between the index finger and pushing the space between the fingers.

前記のように足指の間にパッドを挟持するものは、布バンドを使用するものに比べて足への装着が簡単であり、洗浄・乾燥等も容易であるため、手軽に使用できるという利点がある。しかしながら、指の開き具合を微調整することができないため、症状に応じて種々のサイズのものを用意する必要があった。  As described above, the one that holds the pad between the toes is easier to use on the foot than the one that uses the cloth band, and can be easily used because it is easy to wash and dry. There is. However, since the finger opening cannot be finely adjusted, it is necessary to prepare various sizes according to symptoms.

そこで、こうした問題を解消するものとして、特許文献1には、弾性樹脂から成る外反母趾用装具において、足指の間に挟持されるパッドに上下方向(鉛直方向)に延びる縦溝を設け、ここにコットン等の詰め物を挿入可能としたものが開示されている。このような構成によれば、詰め物の量を変更することによりパッドの厚みを変更することができるため、外反母趾の症状に合わせて足指の開き具合を調節することが可能となる。  Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, in Patent Document 1, a device for hallux valgus made of an elastic resin is provided with a vertical groove extending in a vertical direction (vertical direction) in a pad sandwiched between toes. The thing which enabled insertion of fillings, such as cotton, is disclosed. According to such a configuration, since the thickness of the pad can be changed by changing the amount of padding, it is possible to adjust the opening degree of the toes according to the symptoms of hallux valgus.

特開2008-93399号公報JP 2008-93399 A

しかしながら、上記従来の厚さ調節機能を備えた外反母趾用装具では、上記の縦溝に挿入した詰め物が使用中に装具から脱落する場合があり、特に、比較的少量の詰め物を使用する場合や、装具を装着した状態でユーザが歩行する場合等において、適切な使用状態を長時間維持することが困難な場合があった。  However, in the device for hallux valgus with the conventional thickness adjusting function, the stuffing inserted into the longitudinal groove may fall off from the rig during use, particularly when using a relatively small amount of stuffing, In some cases, such as when a user walks while wearing a brace, it may be difficult to maintain an appropriate usage state for a long time.

本発明は上記課題に鑑みて成されたものであり、その目的とするところは、足指の間に挟持して使用される外反母趾用装具において、詰め物によって足指の開き具合を調節可能であると共に、足指の開き具合が適切に調節された状態を長時間に亘って維持することのできる外反母趾用装具を提供することにある。  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to adjust the degree of opening of the toes by padding in a device for hallux valgus that is sandwiched between toes. Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for hallux valgus that can maintain a state in which the degree of opening of the toes is appropriately adjusted over a long period of time.

上記課題を解決するために成された本発明に係る外反母趾用装具は、弾性樹脂から成る外反母趾用装具であって、
a)足の親指と人差し指の間に挟持される挟持部と、
b)該挟持部内に設けられた空洞から成る詰め物収容部と、
c)前記挟持部の足指の付け根側の上面から延出し、足の甲の一部を被覆する第1延出片と、
d)前記挟持部の足指の付け根側の下面から延出し、足の裏の一部を被覆する第2延出片と、
を有し、前記詰め物収容部に詰め物を収容するための開口部が、前記挟持部の足指の付け根側の端面に設けられていることを特徴としている。
A device for hallux valgus according to the present invention made to solve the above problems is a device for hallux valgus made of an elastic resin,
a) a clamping part clamped between the big toe and forefinger;
b) a stuffing storage portion comprising a cavity provided in the clamping portion;
c) a first extending piece extending from the upper surface of the toe base side of the clamping part and covering a part of the instep;
d) a second extension piece extending from the bottom surface of the toe of the holding part and covering a part of the sole of the foot;
And an opening for accommodating the stuffing in the stuffing accommodating portion is provided on an end surface of the clamping portion on the base side of the toe.

このような構成によれば、前記詰め物収容部に収容する詰め物の硬さ、形状、サイズ、数、又は量を変えることで、足指の開き具合(すなわち親指と人差し指の間隔又は両者の成す角度)を調節できると共に、使用時には、該詰め物を出し入れするための開口部が足の親指と人差し指の間(すなわち指の股)の体表面によって覆われるため、使用中に詰め物収容部から詰め物が脱落するのを防止することができる。  According to such a configuration, by changing the hardness, shape, size, number, or amount of the padding accommodated in the padding accommodating part, the degree of opening of the toes (that is, the distance between the thumb and the index finger or the angle formed by both) ) And the opening for inserting and removing the padding is covered by the body surface between the big toe and forefinger (that is, the crotch of the finger) during use, so that the padding can be removed from the padding container during use. Can be prevented.

また、本発明に係る外反母趾用装具は、前記詰め物収容部を、前記挟持部の足の親指の第1関節よりも付け根側に位置する領域のみに設けたものとすることが望ましい。  In the device for hallux valgus according to the present invention, it is desirable that the padding accommodating portion is provided only in a region located on the base side of the first joint of the toe of the holding portion.

このような構成によれば、足指の先端側における挟持部の硬さ又は幅を一定に保ったまま、足指の付け根側における挟持部の硬さ又は幅を詰め物によって変更することが可能となる。これにより、足指の間を押し広げる力を指の付け根側で大きくして高い症状改善効果を発揮すると共に、この力を指の先端側では小さくして足指の間の異物感を軽減することができるため、優れた使用感を得ることができる。  According to such a configuration, it is possible to change the hardness or width of the clamping part on the base side of the toe with the filling while keeping the hardness or width of the clamping part on the tip side of the toe constant. Become. As a result, the force that pushes between the toes is increased on the base side of the finger to exert a high symptom-improving effect, and this force is reduced on the tip side of the finger to reduce the feeling of foreign objects between the toes. Therefore, an excellent feeling of use can be obtained.

以上説明した通り、上記構成から成る本発明の外反母趾用装具によれば、詰め物によって足指の開き具合を調節可能であると共に、該詰め物が使用中に装具から脱落するのを防止することができる。従って、足指の開き具合が適切に調節された状態を長時間に亘って維持することが可能となる。  As described above, according to the device for hallux valgus of the present invention configured as described above, the degree of opening of the toes can be adjusted by the padding, and the padding can be prevented from falling off from the device during use. . Therefore, it is possible to maintain a state in which the degree of opening of the toes is appropriately adjusted for a long time.

以下、本発明を実施するための形態について実施例を挙げて説明する。図1は本実施例に係る外反母趾用装具の構成を示す平面図及び側面図であり、図2は前記外反母趾用装具への詰め物の取り付け方法を示す側面図である。なお、以下では、本実施例に係る外反母趾用装具を足に装着した状態において、爪先側を前、かかと側を後、足の甲側を上、足裏側を下として、前後、上下、左右を定義する。また、左右方向の寸法を幅と呼ぶ。  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to examples. FIG. 1 is a plan view and a side view showing a configuration of a device for hallux valgus according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing a method for attaching padding to the device for hallux valgus. In the following, in the state in which the device for hallux valgus according to the present embodiment is mounted on the foot, the front side of the toe side is the front, the back side of the foot is up, the back side is the bottom, Define. The dimension in the left-right direction is called the width.

本実施例に係る外反母趾用装具10は、全体が軟質のシリコン樹脂(シリコンゴム)で形成されており、足の親指と人差し指の間に挟持される挟持部11と、前記挟持部11の上面から後方に延出する第1延出片12と、前記挟持部11の下面から後方に延出する第2延出片13とが一体に成形された構成となっている。  The device forhallux valgus 10 according to the present embodiment is formed entirely of a soft silicone resin (silicone rubber), and includes asandwiching portion 11 sandwiched between a toe and an index finger, and an upper surface of thesandwiching portion 11. The first extendingpiece 12 extending rearward and the second extendingpiece 13 extending rearward from the lower surface of theclamping part 11 are integrally formed.

挟持部11は、ヒトの足指を模した形状となっており、その内部には詰め物20を収容するための空洞(以下、詰め物収容部14と呼ぶ)が設けられている。該詰め物収容部14は、挟持部11の後端面、すなわち挟持部11を足指の間に挟持した際に指の股と対向する面に開口部15を有しており、この開口部15から詰め物20を出し入れできるようになっている。  The sandwichingpart 11 has a shape imitating a human toe, and a cavity (hereinafter referred to as the filling accommodating part 14) for accommodating thefilling 20 is provided therein. The paddingaccommodating portion 14 has anopening 15 on the rear end surface of theclamping portion 11, that is, the surface facing the crotch of the finger when theclamping portion 11 is clamped between the toes. Thepadding 20 can be taken in and out.

第1延出片12及び第2延出片13は、それぞれ使用時に足の甲及び足の裏に当接する部分であり、第1延出片12は足の甲に沿うように湾曲した形状となっている。また、第1延出片12の下面、第2延出片13の上面、及び挟持部11の内面には、粘着性のシリコン樹脂から成る粘着層16が設けられている。なお、この粘着層16は、第1延出片12の下面及び第2延出片13の上面のみに設けてもよい。  Thefirst extension piece 12 and thesecond extension piece 13 are portions that contact the instep and the sole of the foot when in use, respectively, and thefirst extension piece 12 has a curved shape along the instep. It has become. Further, anadhesive layer 16 made of an adhesive silicone resin is provided on the lower surface of the first extendingpiece 12, the upper surface of the second extendingpiece 13, and the inner surface of thesandwiching portion 11. Theadhesive layer 16 may be provided only on the lower surface of the first extendingpiece 12 and the upper surface of the second extendingpiece 13.

詰め物20は、前記詰め物収容部14に収容可能な形状及び寸法から成り、例えば、本実施例の外反母趾用装具10を構成するシリコン樹脂よりも相対的に硬質のシリコン樹脂から形成されたものを好適に使用することができる。なお、図2では、詰め物収容部14を挟持部11と略同一形状とし、そこに詰め物収容部14と略同一形状の詰め物20を挿入する構成を示したが、詰め物収容部14及び詰め物20の形状はこれに限定されるものではなく、球状や円柱状、角柱状など種々の形状とすることができる。  Thestuffing 20 has a shape and size that can be accommodated in the stuffingaccommodating portion 14, and is preferably formed of a silicon resin that is relatively harder than the silicon resin that constitutes the device forhallux valgus 10 of this embodiment. Can be used for 2 shows a configuration in which thestuffing storage part 14 has substantially the same shape as thesandwiching part 11 and thestuffing 20 having substantially the same shape as thestuffing storage part 14 is inserted therein, thestuffing storage part 14 and the stuffing 20 The shape is not limited to this, and may be various shapes such as a spherical shape, a cylindrical shape, and a prismatic shape.

詰め物20は、同一の形状及び寸法で硬さが異なるものを複数個用意しておき、症状や好みに応じて詰め物収容部14に収容する詰め物20を適宜交換できるようにする。このとき、相対的に柔らかい詰め物は押圧により変形しやすいため指の間を押し広げる効果が比較的小さく、相対的に硬い詰め物は変形しにくいため指の間を広げる効果が比較的大きい。そこで、例えば、使用開始当初は比較的柔らかい詰め物を使用して指を慣らしていき、症状の改善に合わせて徐々に硬い詰め物を使用していくといったことが可能である。これにより、無理なく効果的に症状の改善を図ることができる。なお、本実施例の外反母趾用装具10自体は軟質のシリコン樹脂で形成されているため、詰め物20として比較的硬質のものを使用した場合であっても、強い異物感を生じたり皮膚を傷つけたりすることがない。そのため、高い症状改善効果と優れた使用感を同時に達成することができる。  A plurality ofstuffings 20 having the same shape and dimensions and different hardnesses are prepared, and thestuffing 20 accommodated in the stuffing accommodatingportion 14 can be appropriately replaced according to symptoms and preferences. At this time, since the relatively soft padding is easily deformed by pressing, the effect of spreading between the fingers is relatively small, and the relatively hard padding is relatively difficult to deform, and thus the effect of spreading between the fingers is relatively large. Therefore, for example, it is possible to use a relatively soft stuffing at the beginning of use, and to use the stuffing gradually as the symptoms are improved. Thereby, the improvement of a symptom can be aimed at effectively without unreasonableness. In addition, since the device forhallux valgus 10 according to this embodiment is formed of a soft silicon resin, even when a relatively hard material is used as the stuffing 20, a strong foreign body sensation or skin may be damaged. There is nothing to do. Therefore, a high symptom improvement effect and excellent usability can be achieved at the same time.

本実施例に係る外反母趾用装具10は、詰め物収容部14に所望の詰め物20を収容した状態で、図3に示すように、挟持部11を足の親指と人差し指の間に挟み、第1延出片12を足の甲に、第2延出片13を足の裏に当接させて使用する。上述の通り、第1延出片12及び第2延出片13の身体と当接する面には粘着層16が設けられているため、第1延出片12及び第2延出片13をそれぞれを足の甲及び足の裏に押し当てるだけで装具10を容易に足に固定することができる。  Thehallux valgus appliance 10 according to the present embodiment, with the desiredstuffing 20 accommodated in thestuffing accommodating part 14, is sandwiched between thethumb 11 and the index finger as shown in FIG. Theprotruding piece 12 is used on the instep and the second extendingpiece 13 is used in contact with the sole of the foot. As described above, since theadhesive layer 16 is provided on the surface of the first extendingpiece 12 and the second extendingpiece 13 that comes into contact with the body, the first extendingpiece 12 and the second extendingpiece 13 are respectively attached. Thebrace 10 can be easily fixed to the foot simply by pressing against the instep and sole of the foot.

上記構成から成る本実施例の外反母趾用装具10によれば、詰め物収容部14に収容する詰め物20を適宜変更することにより、症状や好みに合わせて足指の開き具合や外反母趾用装具10と足指との接触面の硬さを調節することができる。更に、本実施例の外反母趾用装具10では、詰め物20を出し入れするための開口部15が挟持部11の後端に設けられており、使用時には該開口部15が指の間の体表面によって塞がれるため、使用中に詰め物20が脱落するのを効果的に防止することができる。また、使用時には開口部15が外から見えないため、美観的にも優れたものとすることができる。  According to the device forhallux valgus 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above, by appropriately changing thestuffing 20 accommodated in thestuffing accommodating portion 14, the opening degree of the toes and the device forvalgus valgus 10 and the foot according to symptoms and preferences The hardness of the contact surface with the finger can be adjusted. Further, in the device forhallux valgus 10 of the present embodiment, anopening 15 for inserting and removing the filling 20 is provided at the rear end of the sandwichingportion 11, and theopening 15 is closed by a body surface between fingers when used. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the filling 20 from falling off during use. Moreover, since theopening part 15 cannot be seen from the outside at the time of use, it can be made aesthetically excellent.

また、上記の通り、第1延出片12及び第2延出片13には粘着層16が設けられ、且つ第1延出片12が足の甲に沿った湾曲形状となっているため、装具10が足にフィットしてずれにくいという効果も得られる。  As described above, thefirst extension piece 12 and thesecond extension piece 13 are provided with theadhesive layer 16 and thefirst extension piece 12 has a curved shape along the instep. The effect that thebrace 10 fits to the foot and is not easily displaced is also obtained.

また、挟持部11の外観を足指を模したものとしたことにより、使用時には一見すると足指が6本あるかのように見えるため、見る者に意外性を与えると共にユーモアに富んだ印象をもたらすことができる。更に、このようにユーモアに富んだ外観とすることにより、ユーザの気持ちを明るくし、楽しみながら使用を継続させることができる。また、挟持部11の爪に相当する部分18にマニキュアやネイルアート等による装飾を施すこともできる。  In addition, since the appearance of the sandwichingpart 11 is similar to a toe, it looks as if there are six toes at first glance at the time of use, which gives the viewer a surprising and humorous impression. Can bring. Furthermore, by making the appearance rich in humor in this way, it is possible to brighten the user's feelings and continue to use them while having fun. In addition, theportion 18 corresponding to the nail of the sandwichingportion 11 can be decorated with nail polish, nail art, or the like.

なお、歩行等によって爪先に体重が掛かると足指の腹が荷重によって多少潰れるため、足指の先端側では体重が掛かっているときとそれ以外のときで指同士の間隔が大きく変化する。これに対し、足指の付け根側では歩行時等でも指同士の間隔はあまり変化しない。そこで、本発明に係る外反母趾用装具は、上記挟持部11の後端側のみに詰め物収容部14を形成することにより、指の付け根側と先端側で挟持部11の硬さ又は幅を変えられるようにしてもよい。このような場合の構成例を図4に示す。  When the weight is applied to the toe by walking or the like, the toe's belly is slightly crushed by the load. Therefore, the distance between the fingers greatly changes between when the weight is applied and when the weight is applied. On the other hand, on the base side of the toes, the distance between fingers does not change much even during walking. Therefore, the device for hallux valgus according to the present invention can change the hardness or width of the clampingpart 11 between the base side and the tip side of the finger by forming thepadding accommodation part 14 only on the rear end side of the clampingpart 11. You may do it. A configuration example in such a case is shown in FIG.

この例では、挟持部11のうち、使用時に親指の付け根から第1関節に沿う領域のみに詰め物収容部14が設けられ、親指の第1関節よりも先端に沿う領域は中実構造となっている。以下、挟持部11のうち、内部に詰め物収容部14が形成されている領域を基部11bと呼び、該基部11bよりも前端側の領域を前端部11aと呼ぶ。  In this example, thepadding accommodating portion 14 is provided only in a region along the first joint from the base of the thumb during use in theclamping unit 11, and the region along the tip of the first joint of the thumb has a solid structure. Yes. Hereinafter, a region of the sandwichingportion 11 in which thepadding accommodation portion 14 is formed is referred to as abase portion 11b, and a region on the front end side of thebase portion 11b is referred to as afront end portion 11a.

このような構成によれば、外反母趾用装具10を構成するシリコン樹脂よりも硬い素材から成る詰め物20を詰め物収容部14に収容することによって基部11bを硬く潰れにくい状態とすることができ、この部分で足指の付け根を比較的強く押し広げることができる。一方、前端部11aには詰め物が収容されず、外反母趾用装具10を構成する軟質のシリコン樹脂のみが存在することとなるため、この部分は相対的に柔らかく潰れやすい状態となる。そのため、該前端部11aは歩行時の荷重による指先の変形に追従して容易に潰れたり復元したりすることができ、足指の間の異物感を低減することができる。  According to such a structure, thebase part 11b can be made into the state hard and not crushed by accommodating the filling 20 which consists of a material harder than the silicon resin which comprises thedevice 10 for hallux valgus in thefilling accommodating part 14, This part With it, you can push the base of your toes relatively strongly. On the other hand, since no padding is accommodated in thefront end portion 11a and only the soft silicone resin constituting thehallux valgus appliance 10 is present, this portion is relatively soft and easily crushed. Therefore, thefront end portion 11a can be easily crushed or restored following the deformation of the fingertip due to the load during walking, and the foreign object feeling between the toes can be reduced.

なお、図5に示すように、前端部11aの内部に中空部17を設けるようにしてもよい。これにより、前端部11aがより潰れやすくなり、歩行時の異物感を一層低減することができる。この場合、前記中空部17に対して空気が出入りできるよう、該中空部17は詰め物収容部14と連通させることが望ましい。このとき、詰め物収容部14と詰め物20の間に隙間ができない場合には、詰め物20に貫通孔を設けるか詰め物20としてスポンジ状のもの(連続気孔を有する発泡樹脂)を使用するなどして空気の流通を妨げないようにする。また、前記中空部17に詰め物20が進入しないよう、該中空部17と詰め物収容部14の接続部の径を詰め物収容部14の内径よりも小さくすることが望ましい。  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, you may make it provide thehollow part 17 in the inside of the front-end part 11a. Thereby, the front-end part 11a becomes easy to be crushed and the foreign material feeling at the time of a walk can be reduced further. In this case, it is desirable that thehollow portion 17 communicates with the stuffingstorage portion 14 so that air can enter and leave thehollow portion 17. At this time, if there is no gap between the stuffingcontainer 14 and the stuffing 20, air is provided by providing a through hole in the stuffing 20 or using a sponge-like material (foamed resin having continuous pores) as the stuffing 20. So as not to disturb the distribution of Further, it is desirable that the diameter of the connecting portion between thehollow portion 17 and the stuffingstorage portion 14 is smaller than the inner diameter of the stuffingstorage portion 14 so that the stuffing 20 does not enter thehollow portion 17.

また、一般にヒトの足指は付け根側が細く、先端部が太くなっており、これにより、指同士の間隔は付け根側ほど広く、先端側ほど狭くなっている。そこで、図6、7に示すように、挟持部11の基部11bを相対的に幅広とし、前端部11aを相対的に幅狭にしてもよい。なお、図6では、前端部11aを中空構造とした例を示したが、これに限らず、前端部11aを中実構造としてもよい。  In general, the toes of a human toe are thin on the base side and the tip end portion is thick, whereby the distance between fingers is wider on the base side and narrower on the tip side. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, thebase portion 11b of the sandwichingportion 11 may be relatively wide and thefront end portion 11a may be relatively narrow. In addition, in FIG. 6, although the example which made the front-end part 11a the hollow structure was shown, not only this but the front-end part 11a is good also as a solid structure.
