Definitions
- the present invention relates to an orthopaedic bandage, e.g. for use as a part of the treatment of trauma to the Achilles tendon.
- a usual prescribed treatment comprises rigid immobilisation of the ankle joint for a period of from six to eight weeks in a position where the foot in ⁇ clines slightly forward whereby the pull on the Achilles tendon is reduced.
- Prior to the immobilisation surgery may be performed to suture the Achilles tendon; however some treating consultants recommend treatment without surgical intervention.
- the foot support portion is rigidly integrated with the remaining part of the bandage but configured to allow the patient to freely move his toes and to permit a certain plantar flexion, i.e. downward bending of the fore part of the foot whereas the dorsal flexion, i.e. the oppo ⁇ sitely oriented tipping of the ankle joint, is prevented beyond a position of 20° of plantar flexion.
- This is a position m which the Achilles tendon is somewhat short ⁇ ened relative to the normal flat standing position on a planar support.
- a substantially improved course of treatment is obtained m that the foot is allowed a certain freedom of movement whereby the pa ⁇ tient may stimulate blood circulation and exercise some rehabilitation of the foot prior to removal of the plas ⁇ ter.
- US patent No. 5,176,623 teaches an orthopaedic supporting bandage comprising a support for the lower leg intended for being tightly secured around the lower leg of the pa ⁇ tient, a foot support intended for supporting around the foot, and a pivot joint arranqed to allow the foot sup ⁇ port to pivot relative to the lower leg support about an axis which is presumably to correspond to a certain de- gree to the axis of pivoting of the ankle joint.
- the pat ⁇ ent teaches a means for locking the pivot joint in a num ⁇ ber of different angular settings whereby the patient is allowed to use the support in accordance with his needs, and has the option of rehabilitating the movability of his ankle joint following release of the locking fitting.
- the locking means comprises two screws which are screwed into grooves where crests allow selection between differ ⁇ ent angular positions at 10° intervals.
- use of this prior art device while taking steps during walking will produce a rolling motion on the foot portion; at the end of which rolling motion a toe set-off is produced, which means that the Achilles tendon is activated. This is unacceptable in connection with the treatment of trauma to the Achilles tendon.
- this device is unsuitable for the treatment of ailments, such as trauma to the Achilles tendon, where toe set-offs are not to oc ⁇ cur. Release of the foot support relative to the lower leg support also presupposes the use of tools and there- fore practice has proved this device unsuitable for reha ⁇ bilitation purposes in its mounted state. Accordingly, the device is used exclusively for rigid treatment.
- an orthopaedic bandage as fea- tured in claim 1 is provided.
- this bandage is such that the locking means is set to its fixated position when the patient is to walk, in its release position when the patient desires to rehabilitate his foot joint.
- rehabilitation is performed with the leg in its unloaded state, e.g. while sitting. When the patient walks, his weight is transferred partly to the lower leg support, partly to the foot support.
- the foot support itself is so arranged that it only supports below the heel and onwards to centrally below the arch and across the median foot whereby the patient is allowed to freely move his toes and whereby a certain plantar flexion of the fore part of the foot is permitted, whereas the option of performing dorsal flexion of the foot relative to the foot support is narrowly restricted.
- the patient has a adequate opportunity of rehabilitating his toes and foot within a relatively narrow range of movements which is adapted to fully ensure that his Achilles tendon is not stretched too far.
- This embodiment allows the patient to choose between to movement ranges, a narrow one with the foot support locked and a wider one with the foot support released for pivoting within the predetermined range.
- the locking means is provided with means for securing the holder in each of the two positions, viz. release position and fixation po ⁇ sition, since the holder is arranged in such a manner that, under the influence of gravity, it will have a ten ⁇ dency to move towards the fixation position.
- This embodi ⁇ ment provides a stable functioning of the holder and at the same time adequate security that the locking engage ⁇ ment is not unintentionally released, e.g. as a conse ⁇ quence of thrust-like impacts which may occur during walking.
- the means for securing the holder may conveniently com ⁇ prise a spring-biased, displaceable element with a tip or a rounded portion which may engage with two respective indentations whereby easy operation and perceptible indi ⁇ cation of the correct positioning of the holder are ob ⁇ tained.
- the orthopaedic bandage is so configured that the means for restricting the pivoting of the foot support are themselves pivotally embedded whereby the pivoting range may be shifted to different angular ranges. This may be brought about e.g. by the guide pm being provided on a separately pivotal element and thus excentrically rela ⁇ tive to the rotational axis of the separately pivotal element.
- the bandage may be adjusted to the vari- ous requirements of treatment as to the securing of the foot relative to the lower leg.

- FIGS 1, 2, and 3 show assembly views of the bandage in a position like the one it occupies when worn around the lower leg and foot.
- the bandage which is, as a whole, designated by the refer ⁇ ence numeral 1, is supported by the walking support 2 which has the approximate shape of a U-brace with a transversal element 3 at the bottom and two upright ele- ments 5 so configured and adapted that the lower leg may be positioned between said upright elements.
- the upright elements 5 are provided with a shaped, forwardly arched shinbone-shell that may be made of plastics and configured to provide a comfortable and steady bracing relative to the front of the patient's lower leg.
- the backs of the upright elements are provided with an adjustable girth 7 made of a flexible material and which is configured to be opened and closed and its length ad- justed to conveniently support around the back of the pa ⁇ tient's lower leg. Slightly below the upper girth 7 a corresponding lower girth 12 is provided for further sup ⁇ porting the back of the patient's lower leg.
- the front is provided with a forwardly arched ankle-shell 13 which is a shaped component configured to provide steady and com ⁇ fortable support against the front of the patient's lower leg immediately above the ankle.
- a forwardly arched ankle-shell 13 which is a shaped component configured to provide steady and com ⁇ fortable support against the front of the patient's lower leg immediately above the ankle.
- the foot- shell 16 is seen which is pivotally suspended relative to the upright elements 5 by the pivoting pin 19.
- the fixation panel 21 is seen.
- the fixation panel is shown in Figure 1 in its lowermost po ⁇ sition and in which position it secures the foot-shell in a position with 20° of plantar flexion, i.e. the foot has an 20° forward inclination relative to the position it will occupy when the subject stands on a planar support.
- Figure 2 illustrates a fixation panel 21 in its uppermost position in which it releases the pivoting of the foot- shell about the guide pin 20.
- the foot-shell occupies a position of 35° of plantar flexion.
- Figure 4 depicts the walking support 2 itself, which con- sists of a rectangular profile, e.g. of aluminium bent to be substantially U-shaped with the transversal element 3 at the bottom and two upright elements 5.
- the transversal element On its under ⁇ side, the transversal element is provided with a sole 4 which may be of rubber or some other suitable walking ma- terial .
- the sole is not shown in Figure 4, but it will appear from Figure 1.
- the upright elements extend sub ⁇ stantially parallel at the bottom and further upwards it is has a slightly outward angulation in order to provide adequate adaptation to the lower leg.
- On each of the up- right elements an upper locking groove 10 is provided and a lower locking groove 11 having a purpose which will be described below.
- the upright elements are pro ⁇ vided with mounting holes for securing the remaining de ⁇ tails of the finished bandage.
- the foot-shell is made of e.g. a plastics material and is so arranged that the foot may be inserted between the sides above the arch portion 17 and below the inclined top ele ⁇ ment 18. The foot may be advanced until the arch portion 17 supports the heel and the rear half of the foot from below to a point centrally on the arch.
- the top element 18 abuts on the top side of the foot, but it is so suita ⁇ bly short that it does not prevent upwardly bending of the toes.
- the foot-shell may be made of a form-stable material, such as ABS plastics (acrylomtril-butadiene-styrene plastics) .
- ABS plastics acrylomtril-butadiene-styrene plastics
- the ankle-shell may be made of a material corresponding to the material used for the foot-shell.
- FIG 7 shows the fixa- tion panel 21 m Figure 7a in a side view, in Figure 7b in a rear view, and in Figure 7c m a planar sectional view, respectively.
- the fixation panel comprises a block of material m which a dovetail notch or the like is pro ⁇ vided m the form of guides 22 as will appear most clearly from the sectional view in Figure 7c.
- the guide 22 is dimensioned to allow the fixation panel to be shifted downwards over an upright element 5 of the walk ⁇ ing support and such that the fixation panel 21 is se ⁇ cured by the walking support.
- a hole is also arranged in an inward orientation towards the edge of an upright element 5 when arranged m the guide 22.
- the fixation panel is made of a form-stable material, such as aluminium.
- Figures 8 and 9 illustrate a section of the bandage for further illustrating the co ⁇ operation between walking support, foot-shell, ankle- shell, and fixation panel.
- Figure 8 illustrates these de ⁇ tails in a position where the fixation panel forms a locking engagement relative to the foot-shell, whereas Figure 9 shows a situation in which the engagement of the fixation panel is loosened.
- Figure 8a shows the detail in a lateral view and Figure 8b the same in a sectional view from the back.
- Figure 9a illustrates the detail in a lateral view and Figure 9b in a sectional view seen from the back.
- the pivoting pm 19 comprises a pm tightly secured to the upright element 5 of the walking support and with a collar and bushing, respec ⁇ tively, for securing foot-shell and ankle-shell in close contact with each other and at a small distance from the walking support.
- the guide pm 20 is illus ⁇ trated, which is somewhat shorter than the pivoting pin 19 and comprises a pm securely attached to the foot- shell and conveyed through the sector hole 15 in the an- kle-shell.
- the guide pm protrudes outside the ankle- shell, but not so far as to touch the upright element 5 of the walking support.
- Figure 8 also illustrates the fixation panel 21 with a locking unit 24 comprising a spring-biased locking ball which is, m the view shown in Figure 8, in engagement with the lower locking notch 11 on the walking support.
- a locking unit 24 comprising a spring-biased locking ball which is, m the view shown in Figure 8, in engagement with the lower locking notch 11 on the walking support.
- the holding groove 23 engages with the guide pm 20 from both sides and thereby completely prevents pivoting of the foot- shell relative to the walking support.
- the sector hole 15 is an arched groove with a centre of curvature at the centre of the pivoting pm of a width corresponding to the guide pm and having an angular ex ⁇ tent adapted to give room for pivoting of the foot-shell about the pivoting pm 19 from 20° to 35° of plantar flexion.
- the foot-shell occu ⁇ pies a position of 20° of plantar flexion m the locked position. It would be obvious to the person skilled in the art to configure the embodiment for other pivoting directions and ranges.
- Figures 10 through 13 illustrate a further embodiment of the bandage accordmg to the invention in which elements are provided that are intended for adjustment of the range for the pivoting interval to different angular ranges, and wherein it is also possible to fixate the foot portion m a horizontal position.
- this embodi ⁇ ment makes it possible to perform a pivoting movement in the angular range of 0-20° of plantar flexion and in an- other setting to perform a pivoting movement within the range of 20-40° of plantar flexion.
- the foot support extends m the full length of the foot in order to hereby support the entire foot. This is desirable in connection with a vari- ety of treatments.
- Figure 14 is a rear view of the bandage accordmg to the invention.
- Figure 15 illustrates an embodiment of a foot element which has, as opposed to the foot-shell shown in Figure 5, an adjustable instep element or top part 18 which is, in the embodiment shown, fixated in the correct position by means of a top part girth 25 of a burr-locking band (Velcro®) .
- This measure allows for improved individual fitting to the foot of the actual patient. This measure may also be implemented by the bandage shown in Figures 1-9.
- Figure 16 describes a lateral board for mounting in con ⁇ nection with the foot clement.
- the connection to the foot element is established in the lowermost edge area of the lateral board.
- two recesses 27,28 are provided where the one 27 serves to receive a shaft about which the foot element is to be pivoted, and the other 28 serves to receive an element 8 for angular set ⁇ ting, as will be described in the following.
- Figure 17 describes an element 8 for angular setting and comprising an engagement portion and a shaft portion 9 for mounting in the recess 28 in the lateral board.
- a guide pin is provided excentrically relative to the part mounted through the recess 28 in the lateral board. This guide pin is moved, as was the case with the embodiment shown in Figures 1-9, in a sector hole 15 in an element which is fixated relative to the walking support, where the sector hole 15 outwardly delimits the movements of the guide pin 20.
- Figure 18 describes an ankle element 13 which has, like shown in Figure 6, a sector hole 15 for receiving a guide pin 20 and for delimiting the range of pivoting thereof.
- Figures 19-26 are views, some being sectional and some side views where the elements not immediately visible are also shown, in which the element for angular setting of different positions generates various limitations to the pivoting movement. Release positions are also shown ( Figures 23-26) and locking positions ( Figures 19-22) for the locking means, respectively. In the locking position, the locking means slides down over the guide pin 20 and secures this so as to prevent angular rotation.
