ORTHOPEDIC DEVICE FOR THE MECHANICAL TREATMENT OF HALLUX VALGUS

摘要

The present invention relates to a calibrator for treating an ataxia, comprising: a main portion (3) shaped like an elastic sleeve and configured to exert a locating constraint force (F1) on the metatarsals (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5) A connecting band which is arranged between the main part and the distal part and which is arranged to be tensioned in order to exert a lateral force F2 on the thumb toe in an inward direction with respect to the axis of the human body, (4) arranged to face the first metatarsal of the toe to act as an anchor during application of said lateral force, said pad (4) being fixed to the inner wall of said device to create a locally increased thickness, , The pads are arranged at various positions on the foot so that the tension on the connecting band 6 can be adjusted, and the combined binding force and lateral force help to re-establish the joints during walking.
