Description

Functional shoes by using the principle of rehabilitation horse riding {Functional shoes by using the principle of horse-riding}

The present invention relates to a functional shoe to which the exercise principle of rehabilitation riding is applied. More particularly, the present invention relates to a shoe that gives an appropriate balance point of a shock absorbing function and repulsive force to give a proper sense of tension and stimulation to the body, and improves a feeling of ignition. will be.

Rehabilitation is usually physical through mental and physical disabilities. It is one of the rehabilitation treatment methods that promote mental recovery and enjoyment.

This rehabilitation has a long history, written in the Greek literature circa 400 BC that "when an injured soldier was put on horse, it worked."

Modern rehabilitation riding is a kind of sports rehabilitation therapy that restores mind and body and enables healthy social life through horseback riding.

The principle of rehabilitation is the regular or irregular movement of horses, giving the rider a proper sense of tension and balance, thereby stimulating and activating the nervous, branching and circulatory systems as well as muscle activity.

In rehabilitation, the rider experiences about 500 to 1,000 physical movements every 10 minutes.

Through this exercise, the rider experiences three-dimensional movements (front, rear, left and right), and is influenced by the scoliosis and curvature of the body posture (left and right tilt, front and rear tilt) and body shape (rear body shape).

In addition, the physical stimulus transmitted to the upper body and the lumbar part during horseback riding directly acts, as well as the development of lumbar muscle strength, as well as the increase in bone density, physical contact and stimulation with the horse increases the transmission speed of the peripheral sense, Activate the furnace.

It increases blood circulation and helps to relieve chronic lack of exercise as well as to restore function through nerve stimulation (Konkuk University Press, <Wellness and Horse Riding>, p264)

It can be seen that the equestrian movement will have a positive effect on the energy temperament and hormones of middle-aged men (Kwang Kwang-bae, <Analysis of the changes in energy temperament and hormones of the rider>, Dankook University, 2005).

Along with the development of physical balance, horseback riding exercise has been reported to be effective in improving digestive system and cardiopulmonary function (Lee Eun-jung, <A Study on Development of Program for Improving Riding Performance of Horse Riders>, Korea Research Institute of Physical Science, 1996)

Physical contact and stimulation increases the rate of transmission of peripheral sensations and activates the motor nerve circuits of the nose.

In addition, stimulation of the digestive system, relief of gout, recovery of tuberculosis, activation of metabolism, reinforcement of fragile constitution, resolution of psychological problems, and improvement of physical and mental function in general. The Effect of Horseback Riding on Improving Equilibrium in Children with Cerebral Palsy>, The Korean Academy of Physical Education, 2004)

All the muscles in our body are controlled by the brain.

In particular, the cerebellum grasps the movement of the muscle to control the strength and position of the movement.

In people with cerebral palsy, cerebellar movements have slowed significantly.

Therefore, continuous exercise stimulates the brain to improve the cerebellum's motor control function.

As mentioned above, after the scientific analysis and numerous patients proved the effectiveness of the rehabilitation riding, Germany has been applying medical insurance since 1995.

In addition, it is expanding to the treatment of pain, alcohol, drug addicts, and autism.

In the case of myalgia patients, the pain was alleviated in just three days, and the results are expected to be used in more treatment areas. (Science Café vol. 1, KBS Science Café Production Team, p198, p200)

The healing principle of rehabilitation riding is simply explained by the proper shaking of the balance and the response of the human autonomic nervous system to balance it.

Here, the appropriate shaking means the degree (force and direction) in which the human body unconsciously rebalances even when the balance is shaken.

Most of the shoes currently on the market have a solid bottom, and some of the shoe soles are made of EVA foamed resin, PU, and springs to improve the feeling of wearing, but they are all cushion functions to absorb shock when walking. .

The cushion function may also help to alleviate the impact of joints such as knees when walking, but does not give a proper stimulus to the balance proposed in the present invention.

Some shoes try to impart lower body movements by making them difficult to balance, but they can be dangerous to the wearer because they can't help the body recover its balance.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised in view of such a point, and in addition to the shock-absorbing function of the conventional shoes, giving the appropriate shake to the wearer's balance, and also help to balance with the appropriate repulsive power, exercise of rehabilitation riding Similar to the principle, the principle of rehabilitation riding can stimulate the autonomic nerves of the human body, help the wearer to improve the health of the body even when using only daily life, and increase the effect on the body when walking. The purpose is to provide a functional shoe using.

Functional shoes using the principle of rehabilitation horse riding provided by the present invention to achieve the above object has the following features.

In the present invention, by implementing a functional shoe in the form of a number of coil springs of the appropriate elastic modulus and the front of the shoe heel together with the cushion pad, while fully cushioning the sole of the foot when worn, and finely swelled by the repulsive force of the coil spring Can stimulate and help balance.

In the case of the functional shoe of the present invention, since the heel of the foot receives a lot of load, a conical spring made of a material having high modulus of elasticity and fatigue resistance is built, and a plurality of cylindrical springs are installed on the front of the foot to produce a balanced front and rear shape. Can be.

The spring used here is a composite material whose main material is iron (Fe), and the carbon content is 0.3-2.1 wt%, and the elastic modulus of the material is 4,000kgf / mm2 or more and 8,500kgf / mm2 or less. Can be applied.

In addition, the material of the spring may be applied to piano wire, spring steel, hard steel wire, oil kempa wire, stainless steel, brass, phosphor bronze, nickel silver, beryllium steel and the like.

And, in the case of the functional shoe, the height of the front portion of the shoe in which the cylindrical coil spring or the conical coil spring is embedded, for example, the height of the front portion of the midsole (compression height of the spring) is the portion of the shoe heel in which the conical coil spring is embedded. It is desirable to have a height that is about one half of the height, for example, the height of the rear portion of the midsole (the compression height of the spring).

In the functional shoe of the present invention, when the front springs are placed to reach the entire sole, the spring located on the outer side of the foot is higher or at least equal to the resilience than the springs located in the center or inside do.

This can be achieved by using a spring of higher elastic modulus or by varying the size of the spring.

In another embodiment, the functional shoe of the present invention is preferably arranged so that one to each of the spring to be positioned in the front of the spring disposed in the front, to strengthen the toe stimulation.

At this time, the toes have less load than other parts of the foot, so the spring can be appropriately selected in consideration of this. More preferably, the toes are vertically inserted into each of the five springs mounted at the toe position. You can get it.

Therefore, in order to maximize the stimulation effect by the principle of rehabilitation riding, as well as stimulation of the shaking and balance of the foot as well as stimulating the nerves of the toes, the end of the human body can obtain a better effect.

Functional shoes applying the principle of rehabilitation riding provided by the present invention has the following advantages.

Even if the shoe wearer stands or moves little by little, the buffer pad and the coil springs can feel a slight sway, and the sole of the shoe wearer can obtain an autonomic stimulating effect similar to the movement principle of rehabilitation.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Functional shoes applying the rehabilitation riding principle of the present invention, like most shoes, includes a sole that touches the ground, a midsole thereon, and an insole in contact with the foot.

In addition, in the case of the outsole is in constant contact with the ground is usually made of a hard material, the insole in contact with the foot is made of a soft material, to improve the flow of air through the holes, or to make the irregularities can give a foot pressure effect to the sole have.

The midsole is a part that is responsible for most of the cushion of the shoe, the present invention also uses a cushion material, such as EVA foaming resin, PU, etc., which are used in most of the midsole, the combination of the characteristics and spring elasticity of these materials By adjusting the repulsive force using the, the stimulating effect on the balance was given stably.

1 is a perspective view showing a functional shoe to which the exercising principle of rehabilitation riding according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a plan view showing a functional shoe to which the exercising principle of rehabilitation riding according to an embodiment of the present invention, And cross section.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the functional shoe is formed in the form of a conical coil spring 11 in the heel portion of the midsole 10 of a general shoe or sneaker.

Normally, the heel of the shoe is the part that receives the most load when standing or walking, so even if you use a strong spring, the length of the shock absorber must be long enough, that is, the compression length must be sufficient to achieve the effect.

Therefore, a conical coil spring 11 that is compressed much in comparison with the height of the spring is used.

Of course, the height of the shoe is so high that there should be no inconvenience in balancing, so the conical coil spring 11 at this time is preferably to achieve a proper balance with the height and elasticity of the front of the shoe.

The conical coil spring 11 may be installed in various structures in the heel portion of the shoe midsole 10, and as an example, the spring seating grooves 12 may be formed in the heel portion and inserted into the heel portion.

Of course, for the stable mounting of the spring may be installed by installing a separate pad 13 at the top and bottom of the spring.

The conical coil spring 11 installed in this way is interposed between the bottom of the spring seating groove 12a formed in the heel portion of the midsole 10 and the bottom of the insole 14 placed on the midsole, depending on the load when walking or running. The elastic characteristics can be exhibited.

In addition, in the case of the conical coil spring 11 installed on the heel portion of the shoe midsole 10, a relatively large diameter may be applied as compared to the cylindrical coil springs installed at the front midsole.

In addition, in the front portion of the shoe intermediate window 10, a plurality of cylindrical holes, that is, through the spring seating groove 12b is drilled a plurality of cylindrical coil springs 15 embedded therein.

For example, the cylindrical coil spring 15 may be installed to be evenly distributed over the entire area of the front portion of the middle window 10.

Here, the total area of the anterior portion of the midsole means the area formed from the front boundary of the arch portion of the foot to the portion of the toe (that is, the remaining area except the heel portion and the arch portion of the foot).

At this time, since the arrangement of the cylindrical coil spring 15 must stably support the entire sole, in principle, it is better to arrange the coil spring of a small size evenly.

In particular, the coil spring disposed on the outer side of the foot of the plurality of cylindrical coil springs 15 disposed in front of the middle window 10 is slightly higher elastic modulus than the coil spring disposed inward (although the same size is elastic It is preferable to use a high modulus) so that the repulsive force does not fall from the inside.

That is, among the plurality of cylindrical coil springs 15 disposed over the entire area of the front portion of the middle window 10, coil springs 15a to 15e disposed along the outer edge of the foot are disposed in the remaining area. It is desirable to arrange the spring with a relatively high modulus of elasticity, so that the overall balance can be maintained when the foot is landed.

In addition to changing the elastic modulus as described above, a coil spring disposed on the outside of the foot may have a relatively large diameter or a thick wire diameter compared to the coil spring disposed over the inner area of the coil spring. have.

The reason for this is that if the repulsive force on the outside of the foot is weaker than on the inside, the balance is finely shaken or the restoring force is weak when the center of gravity is tilted outward slightly, which may make the wearer uncomfortable or injured.

And, the height of the cylindrical coil spring (15), that is, the compression height and the compression length disposed in the front portion of the middle window 10 should be in proper balance with the conical coil spring (11) disposed in the heel portion, the compression length of the front portion Usually about half of the compression length of the heel is appropriate.

The overall height of the shoe depends on the height of the midsole (the length of the axle), but if it is high, the balance of movement similar to that of the riding principle of the present invention is increased, but the daily life may be inconvenient or the risk of the wearer may increase. It is desirable to find a suitable point between effect and stability.

The coil spring used in the present invention is a composite material having a carbon content of 0.3 to 2.1% by weight while the wire material is mainly composed of iron (Fe), and has an elastic modulus of 4,000 kgf / mm 2 or more and 8,500 kgf / mm 2 or less It can be applied to consisting of.

As the material of the spring of such elastic modulus, piano wire, spring steel, hard steel wire, oil kempa wire, stainless steel, brass, phosphor bronze, nickel silver, beryllium steel and the like can be applied.

In the drawings, reference numerals 16 and 17 denote soles and uppers, respectively.

3 is a plan view, a side view and a cross-sectional view showing a functional shoe to which the exercise principle of rehabilitation riding according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, an example in which the conical coil spring 11a is installed in place of the cylindrical coil spring in the front portion of the shoe midsole 10 is shown.

When the conical coil spring 11a is used, the compression length is longer than that of the cylindrical coil spring, so that the thickness of the middle window 10 may be reduced in order to obtain the same effect as when using the cylindrical coil spring.

This can lower the overall height of the shoe has advantages in terms of design and stability.

Of course, the conical coil spring 11 installed at the heel portion at this time also needs to be changed to be lower to suit the front.

On the other hand, in the present invention, although not shown in the drawings, it is also possible to apply a form in which the conical coil spring installed on the heel portion of the middle window to the outside, in this case a plurality of cylindrical coil springs in front of the middle window Can be installed.

Except that the conical coil spring of the heel portion is exposed to the outside, the same as in the above embodiment, the effect will be the same according to the balanced arrangement of the front, back, front springs.

Figures 4a and 4b is a plan view and a cross-sectional view showing a functional shoe to which the exercise principle of rehabilitation riding according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the coil spring 15 is disposed in front of the middle window 10, the coil springs 15 are arranged one by one at the foremost position of the middle window 10, that is, in the toe position. Shows.

That is, one toe springs 18 are disposed at five toe positions among the entire area of the front portion of the midsole 10, and the toe springs 18 thus disposed stimulate the nerves of the toes, Not only the stimulation of shaking and balance, but also to the stimulation effect can be obtained.

These toe springs 18 may be installed alone at the front of the midsole 10, that is, only one at a position of each toe (FIG. 4a), and is disposed over the entire area of the front portion of the midsole 10. It may be installed mixed with a plurality of cylindrical coil springs 15 (Fig. 4b).

And, as another example, the acupressure projection 19 of the cylindrical shape can be formed in the spring for the toe, the acupressure projection 19 at this time is relative to the spring 18 for the toe is pressed As it protrudes into a toe will be able to play a role.

5a and 5b is a side view showing a state of use of the functional shoes to which the exercise principle of rehabilitation riding according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 5a and 5b, when walking or running in the state of wearing the functional shoes of the present invention, usually landing from the heel portion, at this time, a large diameter conical coil spring (11) built in the heel portion When the) is pressed, the shock absorbing as well as the proper repulsive force is continuously exerted, and when the front part of the foot is continuously landed, at this time, a plurality of small diameter cylindrical coil springs 15 embedded in the front part of the foot are pressed and the shock absorbing is performed. Proper repulsion will be achieved.

Accordingly, the conical coil spring 11 of the heel portion and the cylindrical coil spring 15 of the front part of the foot are buffered, thereby giving a stimulus to rock by the repulsive force at this time. In other words, the sole of the foot can receive autonomic stimulation effects similar to the principles of exercise of rehabilitation, so that the overall physical function can be improved.

Of course, in addition to walking or running, the same effect can be obtained even when the foot moves back and forth little by little while standing.
