Calzado que evita los bloqueos de la marcha y las caldas en pacientes parkinsonianos. Sector de la tecnicaFootwear that prevents gait blockages and caldas in Parkinsonian patients. Technology Sector
La invention se encuadra en el sector tecnico de calzado terapeutico.The invention falls within the technical sector of therapeutic footwear.
Estado de la tecnicaState of the art
Las caldas se presentan hasta en un 70% de los pacientes parkinsonianos a lo largo de la evolution de su enfermedad. La presencia de bloqueos de la marcha (definidos como la imposibilidad para avanzar el paso, siendo percibidos por el paciente como sensation de tener los pies pegados al suelo) constituyen una causa muy prevalente de caldas y son en la mayor parte de los casos, refractarios a los tratamientos farmacologicos y quirurgicos convencionales.Caldas occur in up to 70% of Parkinsonian patients throughout the course of their disease. The presence of gait blockages (defined as the impossibility to advance the passage, being perceived by the patient as sensation of having the feet glued to the ground) constitute a very prevalent cause of broths and are in most cases, refractory to conventional pharmacological and surgical treatments.
Segun nuestro conocimiento, no existe en la actualidad ningun metodo flsico semejante a un calzado o modification de este, que se haya empleado para el tratamiento de los bloqueos de la marcha en los pacientes parkinsonianos.According to our knowledge, there is currently no physical method similar to a shoe or modification of this, which has been used for the treatment of gait blockages in Parkinsonian patients.
Aparte de los tratamientos farmacologicos, se han ideado otro tipo de artilugios que tienen como objetivo proporcionar trucos sensoriales al paciente, como pueden ser, bastones que proyecten una luz tipo laser en forma de llnea sobre el suelo, con el fin de que el paciente la intente sobrepasar y salir as! del bloqueo. Tambien se han propuesto dispositivos acusticos que emitan un ritmo sonoro, que el paciente debe adoptar para marcar el paso y evitar los bloqueos.Apart from the pharmacological treatments, other types of gadgets have been devised that aim to provide sensory tricks to the patient, such as canes that project a laser-like light in the form of a line on the floor, in order for the patient to Try to beat and go out like this! of blocking Acoustic devices that emit a sound rhythm have also been proposed, which the patient must adopt to mark the passage and avoid blockages.
Estos dispositivos, si bien pueden resultar puntualmente validos, a la larga se muestran claramente insuficientes e ineficaces, ya que en su mayorla suponen introducir un comportamiento consciente y voluntario sobre un mecanismo automatico como es la marcha, de modo que cualquier distraction que ocurra durante esta, anule la eficacia del truco sensorial.These devices, although they may be punctually valid, in the long run they are clearly insufficient and ineffective, since in their majority they involve introducing a conscious and voluntary behavior on an automatic mechanism such as gait, so that any distraction that occurs during this , cancel the effectiveness of the sensory trick.
Objeto de la invencionObject of the invention
En la observation de pacientes parkinsonianos con bloqueos de la marcha hemos constatado que al caminar, no elevan lo suficiente la puntera del pie al dar el primer paso, o realizan un exceso de apoyo de la parte delantera del pie durante la marcha lanzada, lo que impide el arranque inicial de la marcha o acaba frenando la misma respectivamente. De manera que, una vez producido el bloqueo, se produce una imposibilidad para elevar la parte delantera del pie y reanudar el paso. La existencia de un dispositivo flsico, como un calzado modificado, que revierta estas alteraciones de la marcha y se muestre eficaz en prevenir los bloqueos de la marcha y subsiguiente riesgo de sufrir caldas, supondrla una sustancial ventaja sobre los metodos terapeuticos actuales como la ausencia de efectos secundarios y un coste extremadamente bajo.In the observation of Parkinsonian patients with gait blockages, we have verified that when walking, they do not raise the toe sufficiently when taking the first step, or perform an excess of support of the front part of the foot during the launched march, which prevents the initial start of the march or ends up braking it respectively. So, once the blockage occurs, there is an impossibility to raise the front part of the foot and resume the step. The existence of a physical device, such as a modified footwear, that reverses these gait disturbances and is effective in preventing gait blockages and subsequent risk of suffering caldas, supposing a substantial advantage over current therapeutic methods such as the absence of side effects and an extremely low cost.
La aplicacion industrial de la invencion resulta obvia si se considera su utilidad en el alivio de un grave problema cllnico sin solution definitiva en la actualidad, y no solo desde el punto de vista de su beneficio cllnico, sino tambien desde el punto de vista economico, ya que el coste del calzado para un ano supondrla para el paciente una minima cantidad enThe industrial application of the invention is obvious if its utility is considered in the relief of a serious medical problem with no definitive solution at present, and not only from the point of view of its clinical benefit, but also from the economic point of view, since the cost of footwear for one year would be a minimum amount for the patient in

comparacion con lo que pueda suponer cualquier terapia farmacologica para un mes de tratamiento, y tambien de la ventaja de estar exento de efectos secundarios o interacciones con otros farmacos, mas aun si consideramos que la poblacion diana a la que esta dirigida la invention, son pacientes por lo general polimedicados.Comparison with what any pharmacological therapy may entail for a month of treatment, and also of the advantage of being free of side effects or interactions with other drugs, especially if we consider that the target population to which the invention is directed, are patients Usually polymedicated.
Description detallada de la invencionDetailed description of the invention
La esencia de esta invencion es la presencia de un engrosamiento progresivo de la suela en la parte anterior del pie, de manera que la puntera del calzado se eleve entre 3-5 cm* sobre el plano del suelo, con el fin de que el apoyo del antepie quede elevado pasivamente lo suficiente para favorecer el arranque del paso pero sin llegar a desequilibrar al paciente hacia atras. El calzado no dispone de tacon para contribuir a la elevation de la parte anterior del pie. De esta manera se fuerza una marcha con apoyo predominante del talon facilitando el arranque del paso inicial (cuya premisa es la elevacion del antepie) y evitando la tendencia en los pacientes parkinsonianos de caminar con excesivo apoyo de la puntera que es lo que acaba ocasionando frenando y bloqueando la marcha.The essence of this invention is the presence of a progressive thickening of the sole in the front of the foot, so that the toe of the footwear rises between 3-5 cm * above the ground plane, so that the support of the forefoot is passively elevated enough to favor the start of the passage but without getting to unbalance the patient backwards. The footwear does not have a heel to contribute to the elevation of the forefoot. In this way a march with predominant support of the heel is forced facilitating the start of the initial step (whose premise is the elevation of the forefoot) and avoiding the tendency in Parkinsonian patients to walk with excessive support of the toe which is what ends up causing braking and blocking the march.
De la parte antera-lateral de la suela y con su mismo grosor, emergen hacia el exterior sendas estructuras con forma de segmento circular, que aumentan el frente de ataque, proporcionando dos apoyos laterales que sobresalen por cada lado, de esta manera se proporcionan puntos de apoyo accesorios que aumentan la estabilidad de cada paso, evitando las caldas.From the antera-lateral part of the sole and with the same thickness, two circular segment-shaped structures emerge outwardly, which increase the front of the attack, providing two lateral supports that protrude on each side, thus providing points Support accessories that increase the stability of each step, avoiding the broths.
La puntera del calzado esta biselada en su parte inferior, formando un angulo agudo con respecto al plano del suelo de 50-60°*, esta angulation contribuye a evitar los tropiezos salvando niveles en sentido ascendente.The toe of the footwear is beveled in its lower part, forming an acute angle with respect to the ground plane of 50-60 ° *, this angulation helps to avoid tripping by saving levels upwards.
La suela dispondra del rayado convencional para evitar deslizamientos con la superficie del suelo, pudiendose contemplar la posibilidad de llevar integradas en la suela y a su mismo nivel, dos o mas apoyos circulares, de estructura concentrica, de 1 cm de diametro maximo constituidos del mismo material que la suela y colocados en el talon, la region correspondiente al apoyo de la almohadilla plantar del pie y la puntera del pie, y que tendran como finalidad facilitar los giros que en los pacientes parkinsonianos estan muy dificultados, ya que son sobre esos puntos, sobre los que se ejerce la maxima traction en el desarrollo de un giro.The sole will have the conventional scratch to avoid landslides with the floor surface, being able to consider two or more circular supports, of concentric structure, of 1 cm of maximum diameter constituted of the same material integrated in the sole and at the same level. that the sole and placed on the heel, the region corresponding to the support of the plantar pad of the foot and the toe, and that will aim to facilitate the turns that in Parkinsonian patients are very difficult, since they are on those points, on which the maximum traction is exerted in the development of a turn.
* La variabilidad de las medidas descritas, sera proporcional a los distintos tamanos de calzado que se vayan a utilizar (del 36-48 de la numeration europea).* The variability of the measures described will be proportional to the different shoe sizes to be used (from 36-48 of the European numeration).
De manera adicional, se puede dotar a este calzado de diversos artilugios colocados en su parte posterior e inferior, de forma que su contacto con el suelo en cada paso, genere un sonido que el paciente pueda escuchar y le ayude a imprimir un ritmo a su marcha, para hacerla mas fluida. Esto se puede conseguir con un receptaculo metalico que encierre pequenos fragmentos libres en su interior, a modo de sonajero, que al sacudirse en cada paso suenen, o con una lamina metalica colocada al nivel de la suela en su parte mas posterior y que percuta directamente contra el suelo en cada paso.Additionally, this shoe can be equipped with various gadgets placed on its back and bottom, so that its contact with the ground at each step, generates a sound that the patient can hear and helps you print a rhythm at your March, to make it more fluid. This can be achieved with a metal receptacle that encloses small free fragments inside, as a rattle, that when shaken at each step they sound, or with a metal sheet placed at the level of the sole at its later part and that percuta directly against the ground at every step.
