Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The present invention relates to a hallux valgus correction supporter for correcting a deformed toe to be a hallux valgus so as to return it to a normal skeleton of the foot.

  If you continue to wear high-heeled shoes with thin toes, or if you keep weight on your toes during standing work, the lateral arch that connects the base of the big toe to the base of the little finger will collapse and become an open leg, Based on this, the toe becomes bent and sticks toward the second finger (adjacent finger) from the base of the finger, and the joint of the base of the toe protrudes outward. A hallux valgus.

  For walking, the thumb's thumb plays a very important role in balancing the body. When it becomes a hallux valgus, the area around the joint of the thumb becomes stiff and painful. It may be a walking posture, causing back pain and fatigue.

  In order to correct hallux valgus, various supporters for hallux valgus correction have been proposed.

  The conventional hallux valgus correction supporter is characterized by covering the entire metatarsal bone with a band made of elastic material, applying a tightening force, and fixing the toe with the band, The emphasis is on the correction of hallux valgus by the corrective force of inserting a pad between two fingers and releasing the thumb and second finger opposite to the tightening force, that is, correcting the lateral arch. .

Problems to be solved by the invention

  In the normal foot skeleton, in addition to the horizontal arch that connects the base of the thumb to the base of the little finger, the vertical arch that connects the base of the thumb to the heel and the vertical arch that connects the base of the little finger to the front of the ankle. There are three arches, one horizontal arch and two vertical arches.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a supporter that corrects all of the three arches, one transverse arch and two longitudinal arches, and returns them to a normal foot skeleton, thereby correcting the hallux valgus. And

Means for solving the problem
