A COMPRESSIVE RESTRAINING ORTHOSIS FOR THE LOWER LIMB IN THE FORM OF A KNITTED ARTICLE OF THE STOCKING, SOCK, OR TIGHTS TYPE

摘要

Shaping aids of the present invention comprises a leg portion and a foot portion. Foot portion (10) extending from the ankle to the foot to maintain therapeutic pressure when the shaping aids have been worn. It said foot portion extending from the ankle bone (14) to the toe (16) and the instep covering (18) is formed in the shape of a part is surrounded by the resiliently to. Size and structure of the foot portion of the mesh, when the orthopedic aid was worn (i) 0 Px Pm Pb and (ii) Pm 36 mmHg is possible to satisfy, where Px is the pressure exerted on the foot and, Pm is the pressure applied to the ankle, Pb is a therapeutically effective holding pressure applied to the ankle. In a preferred embodiment, Px = 5 mmHg ± 25% and 0.5 = Pm (Px + Pb) ± 25% is satisfied. ; Orthopedic aids, elastic stockings, not, legs, paws, feet, ankle area, the ankle, and pressure.
