Related Application This application claims the priority and benefits of US Patent Provisional Application No. 60 / 715,620, filed September 9, 2005, entitled "TRIPLANAR STABILIZATION FOOTWEAR". The content of the provisional application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes as set forth herein.
The foot has three directions of movement: (1) vertical sagittal movement similar to the pitch of the aircraft, and (2) lateral movement in the direction of rotation similar to the roll of the aircraft. ), And (3) movement along the coronal plane or anterior plane in the lateral direction similar to the yaw of an aircraft. The central component of this movement is the talus, which is located below the cervical-fibula and above the calcaneus (heel bone).
During physical activity, harmful movements or arrangements of the feet are transmitted through the person's overall motor chain (kinetic chain), affecting the knees, hips, and lower back. Inadequate alignment with ground reaction, for example during running, can cause stress and cause pain in the knees, hips, and lower back. In the optimal arrangement during movement, the calcaneus remains in the neutral position, the talus moves in the centerline position, and the knee does not rotate excessively medially or laterally. This alignment of the talus and knee can be tested by having a person bend his or her knee. If the talus is optimally aligned with the knee, when the person's knee is slightly bent, the downward swing line (vertical line) applied to the center of the knee will radiate straight to the second metatarsal bone. Fall on the part (second metatarsal ray). However, for most people, when the knee is bent, the knee falls medially or laterally from the second metatarsal ray of the foot.
When the talus makes a detrimental rotation, the rest of the foot must compensate accordingly. The inward (medial) rotation of the talus causes the posterior foot to compensate for the outward (valgus) movement of the calcaneus, push down the midfoot, and abduct the anterior foot. As a brief explanation, the foot may invert due to excessive inward rotation of the talus, further exacerbating anatomical complications compared to simple inversion. The outward (lateral) rotation of the talus can also be simply described as reverse compensation by the rest of the foot, or supination of the foot, but the posterior part of the foot moves inward (clubfoot) and the center of the foot. It requires the part to bend (rise) in an arch and the anterior part of the foot to invert.
These compensatory movements induce strain within the body's overall motor chain, and usually other parts of the motor chain compensate for such misalignment. For example, the knee can be pushed inward or outward, or various parts of the hip can shift to compensate for the strain. This strain over time (but not limited to) plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, posterior tibial tendinitis, knee pain with ligament or follow-up problems, aponeurosis, and low back pain. I can invite you. Positioning and stabilizing the three-plane movement of the foot during movement can reduce harmful compensatory movements of the foot and other parts of the motor chain, and thus reduce the corresponding medical problems. It is possible (or even eliminated).
Various prior art solutions for stabilizing the foot are well known. There are many types of braces and bandages that can be wrapped around the foot, but their orthodontic devices are often bulky and interfere with the correct fit of the shoe. Gel pads and shoe inserts can be added to the shoe insoles, but those inserts can also interfere with the fit and performance of the shoe. These solutions also increase the weight and bulk of a person's foot. Neither of these approaches stabilizes the foot in the above three planes at the same time.
Some shoemakers have developed mechanisms or improved shoe designs to reduce the occurrence of disabilities or medical situations as described above. For example, running or basketball shoes can include an improved flex groove allowed laminated insole design on the sole, or an air or gel pocket to provide greater cushioning. However, none of these well-known solutions stabilize the movement of the foot along all three planes specified above.
The inventor of the content of the invention described has attempted to address the above issues on a case-by-case basis by creating custom orthodontic appliances that perform three-plane straightening. The customized orthodontic appliance is inserted into a conventional shoe. Unfortunately, this orthodontic approach has been useful, but it does not provide the optimal solution due to the incompatibilities inherent in custom orthodontic and traditional shoe combinations. For example, the braces may add extra height and bulk to the shoe, destabilizing the wearer and reducing efficiency in exercise and sporting activities. The orthodontic appliance also reduces the volume of the shoe's foot compartment, which can lead to inadequate and uncomfortable fit. Pressure points can also arise from shoe sewing and design. In addition, conventional shoes may have a structure in the upper and / or bottom unit that counteracts the correction that the orthodontic appliance is trying to make. However, due to the nature of orthodontic appliances to suit individual circumstances, the need for ready-made shoes remains as well as customized shoes that nevertheless provide an integrated system for three-plane straightening. There is.
Therefore, there is a substantial need for footwear that regulates or stabilizes the triplanar movement of the foot.

<p> The content of the present invention disclosed herein is a footwear system that assists in aligning and orienting the kinematic chain (feet, legs, knees, hips, and lower back) by stabilizing the three-plane movement of the foot. Address the above needs by providing. This system provides three areas of the anatomical structure of the foot, namely (1) calcaneal talus process (abbreviated as "ST"), (2) in three-plane adjustment or stabilization, as we call it. Fitted to simultaneously affect the lateral calcaneus and (3) the fifth metatarsal ray of the foot (along the small toe). For example, the detrimental inward rotation of the talus is due to (1) vertical lifting of the ST, (2) calcaneal varus movement, and (3) pressure from the fifth ray, which inverts the anterior part of the foot. Can be corrected. Figures 12A and 12B illustrate the simultaneous application of support pressure to the three regions with directional arrows.</p><p> Tri-plane adjustment or stabilization is configured to result in a tri-plane arrangement of the three related anatomical regions as described above, namely the lateral calcaneus, ST, and fifth metatarsal region.

The contents of the present invention disclosed herein assist in aligning and orienting the motor chain (feet, legs, hips, and lower back) by adjusting or stabilizing the triplanar movement of the foot. Oriented to footwear systems. This system provides three areas of the anatomical structure of the foot, namely (1) calcaneal talus process (abbreviated as "ST"), (2) in three-plane adjustment or stabilization , as we call it. Fitted to simultaneously affect the lateral calcaneus and (3) the fifth metatarsal ray of the foot (along the small toe). For example, the detrimental inward rotation of the talus is due to (1) vertical lifting of the ST, (2) calcaneal varus movement, and (3) pressure from the fifth ray, which inverts the anterior part of the foot. Can be corrected.
Tri-plane adjustment or stabilization is the three relevant anatomical regions as described above: the lateral calcaneus, the calcaneal process, and the fifth radiation. This can be achieved by a shoe structure formed from one or more components configured to provide a three-plane alignment of ray). These adjustments or stabilizations relate to the feet of unshoeed wearers standing in a natural pronational position, reflecting the naturally standing position of a significant proportion of the population. Figures 12A and 12B show the condition of the uncorrected, that is, the pronational foot of that kind. Figures 13A and 13B show the three-plane correction of that condition. When used here, adjustment means changing the arrangement of the foot from its natural position or dynamics. Stabilization means assisting in maintaining a foot that already has a three-planar array of targets (we do not consider such a foot a norm, and this is, for example, Figure 11.1 ~, which will be described in more detail below. It will correspond roughly and naturally to the structure of the foot represented by 11.58). Support means stabilization and / or adjustment. In the following, a single or composite structure that is incorporated into the shoe and provides the target triplane alignment as described above will be referred to as a "triplane system".
In certain embodiments, the content of the invention contemplates a shoe that includes an assembly of the upper and sole units of the foot to support the foot, the assembly of which is the three anatomical structures of the foot. (Preferable) three targets that simultaneously affect the region, namely (1) calcaneal talus, (2) lateral calcaneus, and (3) fifth metatarsal ray of the foot. Defines a foot compartment that orients the foot in a plane alignment. In certain embodiments, the shoe compartment is a fifth that (1) vertically lifts the ST, (2) calcaneal varus, and (3) adductions the anterior foot. Radiation part (fifth) It is configured to be corrected by the pressure of ray). The upper part of the shoe may be the structure of any well known upper part that extends upward from the sole unit and (usually) covers the back of the foot. The upper part may be the upper part of a shoe that partially covers the back of the foot, including a structure that completely covers the back of the foot, and may consist of, for example, a shoelace or band for sandal shoes or similar shoes. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the sole unit can be an outer sole structure, an insole structure and an insole, an insole, or other shoe insertion structure.
Typical embodiments of shoes for triplanar adjustment or stabilization, shoe components, and lasts for forming shoes are shown in FIGS. 1-11.58. In the basic form, the tri-plane system is configured to adjust or stabilize the foot to a more optimal foot tri-plane axis, straightened, better supported and more stable position, as described above. Consists of shoes that have been made. These adjustments or stabilizations are usually made by a combination of a bottom unit and an upper part that causes the foot to follow a target array.
A three-plane system consists of (1) a bottom unit placed between the wearer's foot and the ground, and (2) one or more components that form an upper part for at least fixing the bottom unit to the foot. It can be implemented as an assembly. With reference to FIGS. 2-8, the content of the present invention is described in the upper part 12, the three-dimensional semi-rigid plate 14 that assists the foot to follow the target three-plane arrangement, and similarly the foot to the target three-plane arrangement. Described in terms of a standardized shoe 10 assembly formed from a sole unit 14 such as an auxiliary optional shoe insert 16, insole and / or outer sole 24. This presentation of this embodiment is intended to be exemplary, not limited, and those skilled in the art will appreciate how one or more other embodiments of the component may be derived from the teachings herein. You will recognize if it can be assembled into a shoe that defines the target three-plane alignment for the foot. For example, instead of standardization / assembly, the functions and features of standardized components may be implemented in a single unit, for example by an integral molding process.
Usually, a last 100 (Figures 1 and 9.1-9.3) is created that represents the desired or desirable foot arrangement, and the upper and bottom unit components are assembled around the last to form the last shape. A foot compartment is created to accommodate the corresponding foot. However, although the content of the present invention is exemplified with respect to a structure that fits the last, any other well-known or developed technique or technique for creating a three-dimensional space representing the foot compartment is used. be able to.
The last of the present invention represents a three-planar alignment pattern of the foot and, as an alternative, can be thought of as a representative representation of the foot itself as adjusted or stabilized. The last according to the content of the present invention can contemplate one or more of the following features to assist in achieving tri-plane support within the shoe: That is, a last cone with an offset measured outward from the anatomical centerline of the corresponding foot, a last cone as described above with an offset of preferably about 7 degrees, the horizontal plane of the centerline of the heel of the shoe. Medial anterior adduction, offset is preferably about 7 degrees as measured from, anterior foot adduction, neutral or pronation within the anterior foot region, and / or about 7 degrees as described above. One or more features of the calcaneal varus can be conceived.
In embodiments of FIGS. 1, 10.1-10.58, and 11.1-11.58, the last cone 110 is configured more outwardly (ie, in the corrected position). In the selected last embodiment, the last cone 110 has an lateral offset of approximately 7 degrees from the centerline and area of the last, with the anterior foot portion correspondingly inward (industry standard). It has about 7 degrees of plane rotation (advance of the anterior foot) (rather than 3 degrees of rotation), but in other embodiments these offsets can be made larger or smaller. For example, in some alternative embodiments, the last has an lateral offset of about 1 degree to about 12 degrees from the centerline, while the area of the last corresponding to the anterior part of the foot is about 1 degree to about 12 degrees. Has an inward rotation of the degree. The lateral offset of the cone from the centerline and the inward rotation of the anterior foot are both equivalent, such as about 1 degree to about 12 degrees, or about 3 degrees to about 10 degrees, or about 7 degrees. It can be a frequency. However, it is also possible to have different powers for the lateral offset of the cone from the centerline and the inward rotation of the anterior foot. As just one non-limiting example, the last of a three-plane system can have an lateral offset of about 7 degrees from the centerline, and the area of the last corresponding to the anterior part of the foot, It is possible to have an inward rotation of about 9 degrees.
In some embodiments, the underside of the front of the last can be substantially flatter than industry standards, but the overall dimensions of the last can remain approximately the same. For example, in the last 200 of one such embodiment shown in Figures 10.1-10.58, (1) about 4 mm of material is added to the lower medial metatarsal region of the last and ( 2) A complementary amount of material was scraped from the inner ball area on the upper edge of the last. Thus, although the last has been substantially modified, the same overall dimensions are retained around the ball of the foot for the resulting upper part formed from the last. This embodiment is intended to correct significant supination or excessive rotational deviation.
Figures 9.1-9.3 schematically represent the last 200 or 300 with parallel contours defining the cross section through the last. Each of these cross-sectional contours is subsequently shown in Figures 10.1 to 10.58 for Last 200 and in Figures 11.1 to 11.58 for Last 300. One of ordinary skill in the art can replicate this last through the use of conventional computer-aided design software capable of scanning Figures 10.1-11.58 and building 3D models from those scans. The embodiments shown in Figures 10.1-10.58 represent a three-plane foot array of goals to support a foot that has a natural tendency towards significant or significant supination, or for significant rotational excursion. .. The embodiments shown in Figures 11.1 to 11.58 represent a three-plane foot arrangement of goals for supporting a naturally prone foot toward light supination, neutrality, or pronation. These two embodiments are identical in the posterior part of the foot, but one anterior part of the foot has a 4 mm lowering of the first ray to stabilize a strong suprinator. The other is a flat, neutral first radiation Ray) to ensure a neutral roll-off in an intermediate position. This works for all feet except strong suprinators.
Industry standard lasts are usually made from plastic for manufacturing purposes. Some smaller specialty shops use wooden handmade lasts specifically for each customer to meet individual customer requirements. The lasts described here can be constructed from any material widely used in the shoe industry or from special materials.
The 3D three-dimensional plate 14 (see Figures 3A and 3B) is formed and created from a material that helps adjust, stabilize, and / or orient the three-dimensional movement of the target foot at one or more of the three-plane points. To. Usually, the plate will be made of a semi-rigid material that provides support but does not overly limit the required foot movement or cause discomfort.
In some embodiments, a three-plane plate wraps the underside of the posterior portion of the foot arch from the lateral calcaneus to ST, and just behind the fifth metatarsal from the lateral calcaneus to the anterior lateral foot. Continuously support the outside of the foot by wrapping up to. A protrusion 15 extends upward from the support plate area of the lateral calcaneus. The protrusion 17 is the fifth metatarsal. Extends upward from the plate for support in the area of ray). Unlike traditional orthodontic braces modifications, the three-dimensional plate is not always located at the top of the shoe insole. Instead, it is placed within the insole of the footwear or is formed as part of the insole or other sole unit structure. It is possible to attach the three-plane plate to the outside of the upper part of the shoe via some process such as joining, gluing, or other integral molding with the insole of the shoe. The tri-plane plate can include an optional engineering convex groove or ridge on the outer surface that provides additional directed and functional stiffness and reinforcement. These engineering grooves or ridges can also direct the adjusting or stabilizing force exerted by the tri-plane plate that resists the wearer's kinetic force or otherwise modifies it. The plate can be made from any suitable material. Certain embodiments may employ plastic or synthetic materials that provide a durometer value (shore hardness A) in the range of about 10-60. Any of the many modern nylon, urethane and fiberglass products, and even carbon fiber, can be made, manufactured or injected at this particular durometer value.
In some embodiments, the three-plane system system can include a shoe insert 16 with the properties of an insole. One particular inventive insole (see Figure 2) is similar to the prior art, with an anatomical heel cup and corresponding flexed groove. However, this new insole includes an optional protrusion 20 that engages the ST inside the calcaneus when the shoe is put on. This protrusion extends upward from the underside of the ST to the medial side of the foot, lifting the arch of the foot upwards and outwards. This overhang 20 and / or the corresponding overhang 18 on the three-plane plate 14 can be shaped into a "shark fin" structure, but other various sized structures were created and shoes were worn. Sometimes it can be engaged with the ST inside the calcaneus to some extent desired.
The insole overhang 20 can also include some type of device or mechanism for creating a pressure zone in the ST. This insole can be done in combination with or on behalf of the triplane plate. For example, the insole may include a portion within the area of ST that engages a three-plane plate to create a pressure zone. The insole can be fixedly or detachably coupled to the tri-plane plate or simply adjacent to the tri-plane plate. For example, to give a removable bond, a Velcro tab is attached to the outside (inner outer surface) of the protrusion and partially inserted through the corresponding part of the upper part of the shoe to create a triplane. It is possible to engage or attach to the corresponding Velcro® tabs on the inside or inside of the plate. Not surprisingly, instead of Velcro®, snaps, clips, tabs and slot structures, or other mechanical fasteners, glue, glue, or other temporary or other temporary or Alternative bonding mechanisms such as permanent chemical adhesives or some type of electromechanical mounting such as magnetic fasteners can also be used. Traditional insoles use ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) as the structural material, but any suitable material can be used. For example, in certain embodiments, polyurethane (PU) is used to make insoles to provide longer durability.
The three-plane system of the illustrated embodiment can employ a modified upper part 12 on the basis of a conventional or well-known traditional shoe upper part. In some embodiments, the upper portion 12 is modified to bond with the tripartite plate 14 and / or the insole 16. The insole, near its medial ankle, has a hole or port 21 that allows the mounting device on the insole to engage with the triplane plate (or the corresponding device on the triplane plate) through the upper portion. Can include. For example, if the insoles and tripartite plates can be attached to each other via Velcro, this opening allows the two surfaces of Velcro to come into contact with each other. become. In another embodiment, such an opening or port is required for the insole to engage with the three-plane plate through the upper portion, such as the magnetic attachment used to engage the insole with the three-plane plate. Is not considered.
In some embodiments, the upper portion 12 may include an adjustable strap 23 along its inside, connecting it to a three-plane plate, and fixing it somewhere on the upper portion. Will be possible. The wearer can use this strap to adjust the fit of the entire three-plane system, especially the inside of the three-plane system system. In another embodiment, a similar strap can be included that allows adjustment of the triphasic plate just behind the fifth metatarsal head.
In addition, the upper portion 12 can include an optional receiving area for engaging the tripod plate 14. These receiving regions can be constructed from a particular material or with a particular recess or other structure that facilitates engagement between the three-plane plate 14 and the upper portion 12.
The upper part 12 is traditional (but not limited to) containing natural or synthetic leather, nylon, polyester, lycra and other fabrics, plastic and other macromolecules, natural or synthetic rubber, or various combinations of these materials. Can be made from various materials. In addition, it is possible to increase consumer benefits by adopting specially made molded parts, including providing unique functions or designs.
Footwear 10 with an embodiment of a complete three-plane system including a bottom unit 24, a three-plane plate 14, an insole 16, and an upper portion 12 as described above is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
The tri-plane system can be used or created in virtually any type of shoe for almost any type of activity. In certain embodiments, the three-plane system provides repetitive movements of athletic footwear, such as (but not limited to) running, basketball, tennis, hiking, American football, soccer, baseball, and other feet and legs. Used as a part of shoes for sports with. The three-plane system can be resized according to different footwear sizes, but the manufacturer will have a corrected last type that will be used for exercise, casual, labor, or medical applications. In connection with this, a slight modification of the structure of the trihedral plate will be required. The three-plane system can simply be made in different sizes or categorized for a wide range of footwear related to a particular activity. Tri-plane systems are also for specific business, occupational, military, or professional uniforms or garments, such as police or nurse uniforms, other than exercise, orthodontic equipment, or medical footwear. It is also possible to adapt to applications such as shoes for chefs and restaurant employees, military boots or boots, or boots for skiing, motocross, or riding.
As one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize, many modifications and variations are possible in the details, materials, and arrangements of the parts and actions described and illustrated to illustrate the essence of the invention, such. Modifications and modifications of the above do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the teachings and claims contained therein.
