Description

Den foreliggende oppfinnelse relaterer seg generelt til et fottøy for trening, utvikling og øke proprioseptiv og kiestetisk dyktighet, nevromuskulær kontroll og kjernestabilitet. The present invention generally relates to footwear for training, developing and increasing proprioceptive and kiesthetic skill, neuromuscular control and core stability.

Propriosepsjon refererer seg til evnen til å kjenne til hvor en legemsdel befinner seg i rommet og gjenkjenne bevegelser av legemsdeler (slik som fingre og tær, føtter og hen-der, ben og armer). Kinestesi er et relatert uttrykk, og refererer seg til følelsen hvorved posisjon, vekt, muskelspenning og bevegelse blir erfart. I noe av den medisinske littera-turen refererer propriosepsjon seg til den bevisste og ubevisste følelsen av en leddposi-sjon, mens kinestesi refererer seg til følelsen av leddhastighet og akselerasjon. Propriosepsjon blir ofte brukt vekslende med kinestesi, og i denne fremstillingen vil uttrykkene bli brukt om hverandre. (I beskrivelsen og kravene vil uttrykket "propriosepsjon" bli brukt til å omfatte propriosepsjon, kinestesi, kjernestabilitet og lignende). Proprioception refers to the ability to know where a body part is located in space and to recognize movements of body parts (such as fingers and toes, feet and hands, legs and arms). Kinesthesia is a related term, and refers to the feeling by which position, weight, muscle tension and movement are experienced. In some of the medical literature, proprioception refers to the conscious and unconscious feeling of a joint position, while kinesthesia refers to the feeling of joint speed and acceleration. Proprioception is often used interchangeably with kinesthesia, and in this presentation the terms will be used interchangeably. (In the description and requirements, the term "proprioception" will be used to include proprioception, kinesthesia, core stability and the like).

Det nevromuskulære kontrollsystemet til legemet integrerer perifere følelser i forhold til leddbelastninger og behandler disse signaler i koordinerte motorresponser. Muskelakti-viteten tjener til å beskytte leddstrukturer mot overdrevet forstrekking. The neuromuscular control system of the body integrates peripheral sensations in relation to joint loads and processes these signals into coordinated motor responses. The muscle activity serves to protect joint structures against excessive stretching.

Visse mekanoreseptorer er tilstede i det bløte vevet til muskelskjelettsystemet som sam-virker med det sentrale nervesystemet og koordinerer legemsbevegelser, oppreist fluk-ting, og balanse. Mekanoreseptorer befinner seg i musklene, sener, bånd, leddkapsler og huden. Disse nervefibere tilveiebringer informasjon til hjernen med hensyn på statusen og funksjon til muskelskjelettsystemet. Mekanoreseptorene sender elektriske signaler langs ytre nerver til ryggmargen. De elektriske signalene forflytter seg via ryggmargen til kjernen hvor signalene blir tolket for å gjenkjenne bevegelser av legemsdeler, muskelspenning, bevegelse og lignende. Certain mechanoreceptors are present in the soft tissue of the musculoskeletal system that interact with the central nervous system and coordinate body movements, upright flight, and balance. Mechanoreceptors are located in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules and skin. These nerve fibers provide information to the brain regarding the status and function of the musculoskeletal system. The mechanoreceptors send electrical signals along external nerves to the spinal cord. The electrical signals travel via the spinal cord to the core where the signals are interpreted to recognize movements of body parts, muscle tension, movement and the like.

Noen eksempler på mekanoreseptorer for å kontrollere det muskulære systemet innbefatter muskelspindler. Muskelspindler blir funnet spredt innenfor de kontraktile fiberne til skjelettmuskler, med den høyeste konsentrasjonen i det sentrale partiet av hver mus-kel. Muskelspindelfibre responderer på endringer i lengden av muskler. Disse nerveen-dene forsyner det sentrale nervesystemet med informasjon som benyttes til å opprett-holde muskeltonen og den korrekte muskelspenningen på motsatte sider av hvert ledd. Some examples of mechanoreceptors for controlling the muscular system include muscle spindles. Muscle spindles are found scattered within the contractile fibers of skeletal muscles, with the highest concentration in the central portion of each muscle. Muscle spindle fibers respond to changes in muscle length. These nerve endings supply the central nervous system with information that is used to maintain muscle tone and the correct muscle tension on opposite sides of each joint.

Fibrøst vev som omgir og beskytter de fleste ledd inneholder generelt en rekke følsom-me nerveender for propriosepsjon og kinestesi. Innmatingen fra disse følsomme ner-veendene forsyner det sentrale nervesystemet med informasjon med hensyn på lokalise-ring, strekk, sammentrykning, spenning, akselerasjon og rotasjon av leddet. Fibrous tissue that surrounds and protects most joints generally contains a number of sensitive nerve endings for proprioception and kinesthesia. The input from these sensitive nerve endings supplies the central nervous system with information regarding the location, stretch, compression, tension, acceleration and rotation of the joint.

Foten er det anatomiske området som inneholder det nest største antallet av proprioseptive eller kinestetiske sensor eller følelsesreseptorene i legemet (ryggraden har flest). The foot is the anatomical area that contains the second largest number of proprioceptive or kinesthetic sensors or sensory receptors in the body (the spine has the most).

Proprioseptive og kinestetiske øvelser og treningsanordninger er velkjente for å forbedre hurtighet, balanse og koordinering, og for rehabilitering av personer hvis proprioseptive evner har blitt forringet, slik som etter ulykker eller sykdom. En slik klasse treningsanordninger innbefatter skråbord hvor en pasient står på et bord eller tilsvarende plattform som har et ballegeme montert på undersiden. Bordet ligger ikke horisontalt på grunn av tilstedeværelsen av ballegemet, og dette utfordrer pasientens evne til å balansere og ut-føre manøver på plattformen. Gjentatte øvinger på skråbordet blir brukt for å utvikle eller rehabilitere den proprioseptiske og nevromuskulære kontrollen til pasienten, så vel som styrke muskler, sener og tilknyttet vev til fotområdet. Proprioceptive and kinesthetic exercises and training devices are well known for improving speed, balance and coordination, and for rehabilitating people whose proprioceptive abilities have been impaired, such as after accidents or illness. One such class of exercise devices includes tilt tables where a patient stands on a table or similar platform that has a ball body mounted on the underside. The table is not horizontal due to the presence of the ball body, and this challenges the patient's ability to balance and perform maneuvers on the platform. Repetitive exercises on the incline table are used to develop or rehabilitate the patient's proprioceptive and neuromuscular control, as well as strengthen the muscles, tendons and associated tissues of the foot area.

Andre kjente proprioseptiske og kinestetiske treningsanordninger innbefatter en sko med en enkel kule montert under skosålen. Skoen med kulen eller ballen blir brukt tilsvarende skråsporet. En annen type sko har en stang montert under skosålen, og blir brukt for å styrke dorsifleksormuskler. Other known proprioceptive and kinesthetic training devices include a shoe with a simple ball mounted under the sole of the shoe. The shoe with the ball or the ball is used corresponding to the slant track. Another type of shoe has a bar mounted under the sole of the shoe, and is used to strengthen the dorsiflexor muscles.

Nok en annen proprioseptisk og kinestetisk treningsanordning er beskrevet i US-A 6,283,897. Denne anordningen består av en eller flere plugger som springer frem oppover fra et basebord. Pluggene har en avrundet topp og sitter i konkave innpregninger i bunnen av en oversko formet slik som en sandal. Spesielt har bunnen til skosålen tre konkave, kuleformede innpregninger eller divoter, hvor en befinner seg innenfor hæl-partiet, og en direkte under fotbladet, og en befinner seg i senteret. Elastomerbånd kan avstøtte brukerens fot ettersom brukeren vender foten og/eller hofter for å utvikle styrke, bevegelsesområde og propriosepsjon til ankelen og hofter. Yet another proprioceptive and kinesthetic training device is described in US-A 6,283,897. This device consists of one or more plugs that spring upwards from a base table. The plugs have a rounded top and sit in concave indentations in the bottom of an overshoe shaped like a sandal. In particular, the bottom of the shoe sole has three concave, ball-shaped indentations or divots, where one is located within the heel area, and one directly under the foot blade, and one is located in the center. Elastomer bands can support the user's foot as the user rotates the foot and/or hips to develop strength, range of motion and proprioception of the ankle and hips.

En annen løsning fremgår av US-S 448920 som omtaler et fottøy med uthulende fremspring, dvs. ikke har plane flater på undersiden, under forfoten og under hælen. En ulempe er imidlertid at fremspringene ikke er bevegelig montert til fottøyet. Another solution appears in US-S 448920, which refers to footwear with hollow projections, i.e. not having flat surfaces on the underside, under the forefoot and under the heel. A disadvantage, however, is that the protrusions are not movably mounted to the footwear.

Den foreliggende oppfinnelse søker å tilveiebringe et nytt proprioseptivt og kinestetisk fottøy, som tilveiebringer betydelige fordeler sammenlignet med de kjente apparatene, slik som skråbord eller sko med et enkelt fremspring. Nærmere bestemt gjelder oppfinnelsen et fottøy omfattende: et støtteelement som har en øvre overflate festbar til en fot, omfattende to uthulende fremspring, idet ett av fremspringene er posisjonert lenger bak enn det andre av fremspringene, idet fremspringene er festet til støtteelementet langs en langsgående akse, slik at den langsgående aksen strekker seg fra et helbenstøtteparti av støtteelementet til minst det ene av et mellomfotstøtteparti og et falangstøtteparti av støtteelementet, og idet fremspringene er festet til støtteelementet på motstående sider av en latidunal midtlinje av støtteelementet, slik at den latidunale midtlinjen er halvveis mellom helbenstøttepartiet og falangstøttepartiet av støtteelementet, kjennetegnet ved at minst ett av fremspringene er glidbart montert i et spor tilformet i en nedre overflate av støtteelementet. The present invention seeks to provide a new proprioceptive and kinesthetic footwear, which provides significant advantages compared to the known devices, such as inclined tables or shoes with a single protrusion. More specifically, the invention relates to footwear comprising: a support element having an upper surface attachable to a foot, comprising two hollow projections, one of the projections being positioned further back than the other of the projections, the projections being attached to the support element along a longitudinal axis, such that the longitudinal axis extends from a full leg support portion of the support member to at least one of a metatarsal support portion and a phalanx support portion of the support member, and the protrusions being attached to the support member on opposite sides of a latitudinal centerline of the support member such that the latitudinal centerline is halfway between the whole leg support part and the phalanx support part of the support element, characterized in that at least one of the projections is slidably mounted in a groove formed in a lower surface of the support element.

Correspondingly, attachment devices 20 can be used to attach the footwear 10 to the user's foot without boot 18.

To utsvulmende fremspring 22 kan springe frem fra en nedre overflate 20 av støtteele-mentet 12. Alternativt kan løkformede fremspring 22 springe frem fra den øvre overflaten 14 av støtteelementet 12. Hvert fremspring 22 kan ha en krummet ytre kontur 26. Tverrsnittet til konturen 26, dvs. enten tverrsnittet tatt med hensyn til en longitudinal akse 28 (fig. 4) til støtteelementet 12 (som korresponderer med formen vist på fig.2) eller tverrsnittet med hensyn til en latitudinal akse 30 (fig. 4) av støtteelementet 12 (som korresponderer med formen på fig. 3) eller et hvilket som helst annet tverrsnitt, kan ha en hvilken som helst krum form. For eksempel kan konturene 26 ha formen av en konisk seksjon, dvs. formen til en sirkel, elippse, parabel eller hyperbel. De forskjellige tverrsnittene til konturene 26 av fremspringene 22 kan være tilformet identiske eller forskjellige. Two bulging projections 22 may project from a lower surface 20 of the support element 12. Alternatively, onion-shaped projections 22 may project from the upper surface 14 of the support element 12. Each projection 22 may have a curved outer contour 26. The cross-section of the contour 26, i.e. either the cross-section taken with respect to a longitudinal axis 28 (Fig. 4) of the support element 12 (which corresponds to the shape shown in Fig. 2) or the cross-section with respect to a latitudinal axis 30 (Fig. 4) of the support element 12 (which corresponds to the shape of Fig. 3) or any other cross-section, may have any curved shape. For example, the contours 26 may have the shape of a conic section, i.e. the shape of a circle, ellipse, parabola or hyperbola. The different cross-sections of the contours 26 of the protrusions 22 can be shaped identically or differently.

Slik det sees tydelig på fig. 2, kan fremspringet 22 være posisjonert lenger bak enn det andre fremspringet 22. Slik det ses på fig. 4, kan fremspringene være posisjonert på en felles longitudinal akse av støtteelementet 12, slik som senterlinjen 28 til støtteelemen-tet 12, og på motsatte sider av den latidunale midtlinjen 30. Slik det ses på fig. 2, kan det bakre fremspringet 22 være posisjonert generelt under et hælben (hæl, ankel) støtte-parti 23 av støtteelementet 12 mens det fremre fremspringet 22 kan være posisjonert generelt under et metatarsalt støtteparti 25 og/eller falangstøtteparti 27 av støtteelemen-tet 12. As is clearly seen in fig. 2, the projection 22 can be positioned further back than the second projection 22. As seen in fig. 4, the protrusions can be positioned on a common longitudinal axis of the support element 12, such as the center line 28 of the support element 12, and on opposite sides of the latitudinal center line 30. As seen in fig. 2, the rear projection 22 can be positioned generally under a heel bone (heel, ankle) support part 23 of the support element 12 while the front projection 22 can be positioned generally under a metatarsal support part 25 and/or phalanx support part 27 of the support element 12.

Alternativt, som indikert med brutte linjer 33 på fig. 4, kan et av fremspringene 22 (for eksempel det fremre) være fluktende på en longitudinal akse 34 forskjøvet fra senterlinjen 28, og det bakre fremspringet 22 kan være posisjonert forskjøvet fra aksen 34, slik som på senterlinjen 28. Det må forstås at det ovenfor angitte kun er noen eksempler på posisjonering av fremspringene 22, og det er mange andre muligheter innenfor rammen av oppfinnelsen. Alternatively, as indicated by broken lines 33 in fig. 4, one of the protrusions 22 (for example, the front one) may be flush on a longitudinal axis 34 offset from the centerline 28, and the rear protrusion 22 may be positioned offset from the axis 34, such as on the centerline 28. It must be understood that the above indicated are only some examples of positioning of the protrusions 22, and there are many other possibilities within the scope of the invention.

Fremspringene 22 kan være konstruert av et hvilket som helst egnet materiale, slik som, men ikke begrenset til, elastomerer eller metall eller en kombinasjon av materialer, og kan ha forskjellige egenskaper. For eksempel kan fremspringene ha forskjellige ettergivenhet eller hardhet, slik som at de har forskjellige elastisitetsegenskaper eller shore hardhet. Fremspringene 22 kan springe frem i forskjellige mengder fra den nedre overflaten 24 av støtteelementet 12. The protrusions 22 may be constructed of any suitable material, such as, but not limited to, elastomers or metal or a combination of materials, and may have different properties. For example, the protrusions may have different compliance or hardness, such that they have different elasticity properties or shore hardness. The protrusions 22 may protrude in different amounts from the lower surface 24 of the support element 12.

I samsvar med en utførelse av den foreliggende oppfinnelse kan et eller flere fremspring 22 være glidbart montert på støtteelementet 12. Fremspringet 22 kan for eksempel være montert på et spor 36 (fig. 2) tilformet i den nedre overflaten 24 av støtteelementet 12, In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, one or more projections 22 can be slidably mounted on the support element 12. The projection 22 can, for example, be mounted on a groove 36 (Fig. 2) formed in the lower surface 24 of the support element 12,

og kan bli selektivt posisjonert hvor som helst langs sporet og festet til dette. Sporet 36 kan strekke seg langs et parti av skosålen eller langs hele lengden av skosålen. Alternativt eller i tillegg kan mengden fremspring til fremspring 22 bli justert, slik som ved å montere fremspringet 22 med en gjenget festeinnretning 38 (fig. 3) til støtteelementet 12 og stramme eller løsne den gjengede festeinnretningen 38. and can be selectively positioned anywhere along the track and attached to it. The groove 36 can extend along a part of the shoe sole or along the entire length of the shoe sole. Alternatively or in addition, the amount of protrusion of protrusion 22 can be adjusted, such as by mounting the protrusion 22 with a threaded fastening device 38 (Fig. 3) to the support element 12 and tightening or loosening the threaded fastening device 38.

I samsvar med en utførelse av den foreliggende oppfinnelse kan det i tillegg til de løk-formede fremspringene 22 være tilveiebragt ett eller flere ikke-løkformede fremspring 39, vist på fig. 3. Fremspringet 39 kan være tilformet i formen av en plugg, knast, bånd, pinne, tapp og lignende, selv om ikke oppfinnelsen er begrenset til disse former. Frem-spingene 39 kan være stive eller fleksible. Som med fremspringet 22, kan fremspringene 39 ha forskjellig ettergivenhet eller hardhet, slik som ved å ha forskjellige elastisitetsegenskaper eller shore hardhet, og de kan springe frem forskjellige mengder fra den nedre overflaten 24 av støtteelementet 12. Som ovenfor, kan mengden fremspring til fremspring 39 bli justert. Fremspringet 39 kan være montert et hvilket som helst sted på den nedre overflaten 24 av støtteelementet 12. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the onion-shaped projections 22, one or more non-onion-shaped projections 39, shown in fig. 3. The projection 39 can be shaped in the form of a plug, knob, band, stick, pin and the like, although the invention is not limited to these forms. The forward spins 39 can be rigid or flexible. As with the protrusion 22, the protrusions 39 can have different compliance or hardness, such as by having different elasticity properties or shore hardness, and they can protrude different amounts from the lower surface 24 of the support member 12. As above, the amount of protrusion of the protrusion 39 can be adjusted. The protrusion 39 may be mounted anywhere on the lower surface 24 of the support member 12.

Trekkene beskrevet ovenfor, slik som at fremspringene 22 er glidbart montert på støtte-elementet 14, kan være implementert i den alternative utførelsen hvori de utsvulmende fremspringene 22 springer frem fra den øvre overflaten 14 av støtteelementet 12. Fot-tøyet 12 kan for eksempel ha en normal ytre såle og ha en glide/forskyningsmekanisme for fremspringene 22 inne i sålen til fottøyet 12. Glide/forsyningsmekanismen kan omfatte, uten begrensning, en mekanisme som flyter i en viskøs matrise (for eksempel fluid i et kammer tilformet i sålen) eller som er nedhengt av indre kabler. The features described above, such that the projections 22 are slidably mounted on the support element 14, can be implemented in the alternative embodiment in which the bulging projections 22 spring forth from the upper surface 14 of the support element 12. The footcloth 12 can, for example, have a normal outer sole and have a sliding/displacement mechanism for the protrusions 22 within the sole of the footwear 12. The sliding/supplying mechanism may include, without limitation, a mechanism that flows in a viscous matrix (for example, fluid in a chamber formed in the sole) or that is suspended by internal cables.
