DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The specific implementation of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and is not used to limit the present application.

As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the present application provides a plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace, including a wearable body 1, a first strap 3, a second strap 4, a connecting pad 5, a toe cover 6 and a traction structure. The wearable body 1 includes a pedal 11 for supporting the sole of the foot and a leg side guard 12 integrally formed on the pedal 11 for extending along the calf. Specifically, the leg side guard 12 is integrally formed on one side of the rear end of the pedal 11 (corresponding to the heel). One end of the first strap 3 is connected to the pedal 11 and is located on the opposite side of the leg side guard 12. The first strap 3 is used to bypass the instep to tie the leg side guard 12 to the calf. One end of the second strap 4 is connected to the top of the leg side guard 12, and the second strap 4 cooperates with the leg side guard 12 to wrap the calf. One end of the connecting pad 5 is connected to the pedal 11, and the other end is connected to the toe cover 6. The traction structure includes a traction rope 8 and a locking structure. One end of the traction rope 8 is passed through the toe cover 6, and the other end is installed on the leg side guard 12. The toe cover 6 is pulled upward by the traction rope 8, thereby driving the toe end of the foot to bend upward. The locking structure is used to cooperate with the traction rope 8 to lock or unlock the traction rope 8 after the length is adjusted.

When in use, the wearable body 1 is put on the foot, the toes are located in the toe cover 6, and the first strap 3 is passed around the instep and wrapped around the calf to be tied tightly, and the calf is tied to the leg side guard 12 through the second strap 4, and the traction rope 8 of the traction structure is contracted, so that the toe cover 6 drives the toes to stretch upward. The toes are stretched under the support of the toe cover 6, and there is no squeeze and discomfort between the toes, which improves the stretching feeling and comfort of use; the plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace of the present application is easy to wear, has a significant stretching effect, and is conducive to promoting the rehabilitation of patients with plantar fasciitis.

In this embodiment, the wearable body 1 includes a shell layer 13 and an inner lining fabric layer 14 attached to the inner side of the shell layer 13 for the wearer to wear. The shoe is comfortable to wear, and the shell layer 13 can be made of plastic to form the pedal 11 and the leg side guard plate 12 in one piece.

The toe cover 6 can be detachably arranged at the front end of the pedal 11; it can also be connected to the pedal 11 through the connecting pad 5, one end of the connecting pad 5 is connected to the pedal 11, and the other end is connected to the toe cover 6. Preferably, the toe cover 6 is connected to the pedal 11 through the connecting pad 5.

In order to facilitate wearing by people with different foot lengths, the toe cover 6 can be installed on the pedal 11 through the connection pad 5 so that the position can be adjusted along the foot length direction. Optionally, the pedal 11 is provided with a plurality of position adjustment holes 15 along the foot length direction, and a connection column 51 is formed on the bottom surface of one end of the connection pad 5, and the connection column 51 is inserted into the position adjustment hole 15. By selecting the position adjustment holes 15 at different positions to insert the connection column 51, different lengths can be adjusted.

The connection pad 5 includes a pad body 52 connected to the toe cover 6 and a connection belt 53 connected to the pad body 52. A plurality of connection posts 51 are provided on the connection belt 53. The width of the connection belt 53 is narrower than that of the pad body 52, so that the toe cover 6 can be bent when stretched upward. The connection belt 53 is made of a soft belt or an elastic strip that can be bent upward, and the pad body 52 can be made of an elastic material such as silicone.

Preferably, the toe cover 6 is a hard cover, which is convenient for traction. The toe cover 6 includes a base plate 61 and an arched portion 62 connected to the base plate 61. A space for accommodating toes is formed between the base plate 61 and the arched portion 62. The pad 52 is connected to the base plate 61. The connection method is optional. The bottom surface of the pad 52 is formed with a plurality of convex humps, and the toe cover 6 is correspondingly formed with a plurality of concave holes. The convex humps of the pad 52 are correspondingly inserted into the concave holes, so that the toe cover 6 can be connected to the connecting pad 5. The traction rope 8 is inserted in the middle position of the arched portion 62. The toe cover 6 cooperates with the arched portion 62 by setting the base plate 61. The base plate 61 can support the toes, and the arched portion 62 is convenient for connecting the traction rope 8 for stretching.

The locking structure preferably adopts a knob 7 and a traction rope 8. The products matched with the knob 7 and the traction rope 8 are existing technologies and can be purchased directly. Alternatively, the rope adjustment device disclosed in the announcement number CN210382859U or the knob-type rope adjuster disclosed in the publication number CN115028027A can be used. The knob 7 is installed on the leg side guard 12, and the traction rope 8 is passed through the toe cover 6 and the knob 7. The traction rope 8 is contracted by rotating the knob 7, thereby stretching the toe cover 6 upward. The traction rope 8 is released by pressing or reversing the knob 7.

It can be understood that the locking structure can also be fixed by Velcro. A button hole is formed on the leg side guard 12, and Velcro is formed on one end of the traction rope 8. The traction rope 8 with Velcro passes through the button hole and then passes through the required adjusted length and then adheres to fix the traction end of the traction rope 8.

It can be understood that the first strap 3 and the second strap 4 can also be fixed by Velcro after binding. Both sides of the top of the leg side guard 12 have connecting buckles 16, and the two ends of the second strap 4 are respectively bonded to the connecting buckles 16 by Velcro. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the second strap 4. One end of the first strap 3 is bonded to the connecting hole of the pedal 11 by Velcro, and the other end of the first strap 3 is bonded to the first strap 3 by Velcro.

It can be understood that the plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace can be provided with a heel pad, which is installed on the pedal 11. Specifically, it can be installed on the pedal 11. The inner lining cloth layer 14 installed on the pedal 11 is used to support the heel and arch of the foot when worn, and the support is provided through the heel pad, thereby enhancing the overall wrapping feeling and comfort.

In summary, when the plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace of the present application is used, the wearable body 1 is set on the foot, the toes are located on the connecting pad 5, and the first strap 3 is passed around the instep and wrapped around the calf to be tied tightly, and the calf is tied to the leg side guard 12 by the second strap 4, and the toe cover 6 drives the toes to stretch upward by driving the traction rope 8 to contract. The toes are stretched under the support of the toe cover 6, and there is no squeeze and discomfort between the toes, which improves the stretching feeling and the comfort of use; in particular, the knob 7 is used to drive the traction rope 8 to contract to stretch the toe cover 6, and the adjustment method is more convenient and can achieve fine adjustment; the plantar fasciitis rehabilitation brace of the present application is easy to wear, and the stretching effect is significant, which is conducive to promoting the rehabilitation of patients with plantar fasciitis.
