Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention is a rehabilitation (functional training) suitable for use by physically disabled people who wear lower limb orthoses.
Regarding use for use.

<Prior art> In general, many disabled people who wear leg braces are unable to move their toe joints freely, and for this reason, rehabilitation shoe shoes are made by expanding the opening toward the toes to make them easier to wear. A fully open type shoe is used. These fully open shoes require a method to prevent them from falling off after being worn.

As a conventional example, a shoe for rehabilitation is known which is provided with a band that restrains the front part of the foot and neck. However, according to this conventional example, there is an opening in the front of the band, and it is obvious that it is a rehabilitation shoe, as the orthosis can be seen through the opening, so it has the disadvantage that the user feels uncomfortable. Ta.

<Problems to be solved by the present invention> Special uses of shoes include cerebral thrombosis, cerebral infarction,
For rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia on the right or left side due to stroke such as cerebral hemorrhage, or as an example of a plastic AFO (ankle
It may be used when a functional orthosis (ankle joint orthosis) is worn, or when there is edema due to foot trauma or swelling caused by a bandage. The purpose of this invention is that it can be used for such a wide range of purposes, and since it looks just like regular shoes at first glance, it does not make the user feel uncomfortable. To provide a shoe for functional rehabilitation that can be economically mass-produced even with a design.

<Means for Solving the Problem> The shoes of the present invention have an opening for passing the ankle through and a groove extending forward from the opening, and one end extends forward from the groove. A tongue portion is provided which is fixed to the shoe body and covers the grooved portion and its right and left sides from above, and each of the left and right sides of the tongue portion is provided with fixing means which are adjustable and fixed to the shoe body. It is characterized by:

The fixing means on both the left and right sides of the tongue part in this invention are as follows:
Preferably, at least one of them is a hook-and-loop fastener, and most preferably both are hook-and-loop fasteners.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention with the tongue section opened, and FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the tongue section closed.

The opening 1 is integrally formed with a groove extending forward from the center of the front edge of the opening provided in ordinary shoes for passing the ankle, and therefore the opening 1 extends to the top of the instep. It is a fully open type that is long in the front and back direction. The tongue part 2 is fixed at one end near the front of the opening 1 by sewing or the like, and is formed so as to be able to cover the front part of the opening and both left and right sides of the opening. Hook-and-loop fasteners 3 and 4 are provided on both left and right sides of the free end of the tongue, and hook-and-loop fasteners 5 and 6 are provided on both left and right sides of the front part of the shoe body that opposes these. ing. Appropriate designs are applied to the shoe body and tongue.

Next, how to use it will be explained.

When the hook-and-loop fasteners on both the left and right sides of the tongue part 2 are removed, the tongue part 2 bends forward as shown in Figure 2.
The entire outlet 1 is opened. In this state, when the left and right sides of the front part of the shoe body are expanded, the opening is further expanded as shown in FIG. 3. After covering the shoe, first attach one side of the hook-and-loop fastener, then stick the other hook-and-loop fastener while pulling the side of the tongue that is not attached by hand. The shoes can be firmly attached to the shoes, preventing them from falling off.

4 to 6 show other embodiments of the tongue portion fixing means of the present invention.

The fixing means shown in FIG. 4 is such that when the lever 9 of the stopper is released, the band 10 on the tongue part can slide freely against the stopper 11, and when the lever 9 is tightened, the band 10 is fixed to the stopper 11. It is.

The fixing means shown in FIG. 5 is such that one side of a plurality of snap fasteners 12 is arranged in a row on the shoe body, and the other fastener 12 is attached to a band 13 integrally formed with the tongue part.
4 is provided and selectively fixed.

The fixing means shown in FIG. 6 includes a plurality of holes provided in a band 15 integrally formed with the tongue part, and the band 15 is passed through a stopper 16 provided on the shoe body to selectively open any of the holes. and fix it. The invention can be implemented using other known fastening means.

Further, the present invention can be applied to any of men's shoes, women's shoes, and children's shoes, and can also be implemented by applying a shoelace-like decoration to the surface of the tongue part.

<Effects> According to the present invention, since the opening is expanded forward, it is easy for even people with nerve paralysis to wear the shoes, and after wearing the shoes, the tongue part completely covers the front part of the opening from above. At first glance, they look like regular shoes and do not make the user feel uncomfortable. In addition, if at least one or both of the tongue parts are secured using hook-and-loop fasteners, the tightness can be adjusted freely according to the shape and size of the foot and the orthosis, etc., and it can be attached and detached with one touch with one hand. Can be done.
