DESCRIPCION DE LA INVENCIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El medidor del arco del pie es una herramienta que consta de un diseno ergonomico que presenta una base regulable (vease Fig. 1) con la peculiaridad de tener un espacio para colocar el pie y ajustarlo a la dimension morfologica de cualquier pie o calzado lo que facilita la medicion de la longitud y de esa manera poder cuantificarlo en esa dimension.The arch of the foot arch is a tool that consists of an ergonomic design that has an adjustable base (see Fig. 1) with the peculiarity of having a space to place the foot and adjust it to the morphological dimension of any foot or footwear which it facilitates the measurement of the length and in this way to be able to quantify it in that dimension.
Hasta aqui se han descrito aspectos del medidor ya conocidos.So far, aspects of the meter have already been described.
La base posee dos sistemas uno que se articula con en el extremo donde se mide la longitud del pie (2) y otro sistema provisto de una guia ajustable que mide la altura de los arcos del pie (3). Estos sistemas le confieren la posibilidad de permitir en un solo dispositivo medir indistintamente tanto el pie derecho como el izquierdo al poder cambiar el posicionamiento de ambos elementos que presenta la invencion. Estas especiales caracteristicas permiten determinar la medicion del pie en dos dimensiones: por una parte medir la longitud del pie y por otra parte determinar de forma fiable la altura del arco del pie. El interes de este instrumento para los investigadores y los clinicos radica en que cuantifica y determina la altura del arco y permite estudiar, detectar, evaluar y tratar las deformidades del pie a nivel general y del arco longitudinal intemo y extemo de manera especial.The base has two systems one that is articulated with at the end where the foot length (2) is measured and another system equipped with an adjustable guide that measures the height of the foot arches (3). These systems give it the possibility of allowing in a single device to measure both the right and the left foot interchangeably, being able to change the positioning of both elements presented by the invention. These special characteristics allow to determine the measurement of the foot in two dimensions: on the one hand to measure the length of the foot and on the other hand to reliably determine the height of the arch of the foot. The interest of this instrument for researchers and clinicians is that it quantifies and determines the height of the arch and allows to study, detect, evaluate and treat deformities of the foot at a general level and the internal and external longitudinal arch in a special way.
El uso de esta herramienta se orienta a prevenir lesiones en el pie y en el tobillo, mejorar la calidad de vida y evitar que los problemas que no se traten produzcan desequilibrios como la escoliosis, problemas posturales, reduction en la velocidad deThe use of this tool is aimed at preventing foot and ankle injuries, improving the quality of life and preventing untreated problems from producing imbalances such as scoliosis, postural problems, reduction in the speed of
