M E M O R I A D E S C R I P T I V A  DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY
PLANTILLA INTELIGENTE PARA EDUCAR POSTURAS AL CAMINAR Objeto de la invención INTELLIGENT TEMPLATE TO EDUCATE POSTURES WHEN WALKING Object of the invention
La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una plantilla inteligente para educar posturas al caminar. El objeto de la presente invención se refiere a una plantilla para calzado que, por medio de sensores de presión asociados a un sistema de alerta y/o de señal de respuesta incorporados en la misma, tiene como finalidad proporcionar un medio práctico para conseguir que las personas con ciertos defectos al caminar, en especial niños que caminan de puntillas, corrijan el modo de apoyar el pie a base de recibir estímulos o avisos a través de dicha plantilla cuando no lo hacen correctamente. The invention, as expressed in the title of the present specification, refers to an intelligent template for educating walking postures. The object of the present invention relates to a footwear insole which, by means of pressure sensors associated with an alert system and / or response signal incorporated therein, is intended to provide a practical means for achieving people with certain defects when walking, especially children who walk on tiptoe, correct the way of supporting the foot based on receiving stimuli or warnings through this template when they do not do it correctly.
Campo de aplicación de la invención Field of application of the invention
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de aparatos y dispositivos electrónicos, centrándose particularmente en el ámbito del calzado. The field of application of the present invention is part of the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of electronic devices and devices, focusing particularly on the field of footwear.
Antecedentes de la invención Es conocido que algunas personas y, en especial, algunos niños tienen una manera de andar que, debido a diferentes motivos pero que en muchos casos son de carácter neurológico o psíquico, hace que no apoyen correctamente la planta del pie en cada paso y, en lugar de ello, solamente apoyen las puntas del pie, de tal modo que andan todo el tiempo de puntillas. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known that some people and, in particular, some children have a way of walking which, due to different reasons but which in many cases are of a neurological or psychic nature, causes them not to support the sole of the foot correctly in each case. step and, instead, only support the tips of the foot, so that they walk all the time on tiptoe.
Esta circunstancia tiene gran importancia, ya que, de no corregirse adecuadamente, además de los problemas de tensión muscular y a nivel de tendones en la planta que provoca este modo de caminar, de manera inmediata o a la larga puede llegar a derivar en problemas mucho más graves, requiriendo a veces incluso complicadas intervenciones quirúrgicas, tanto en los pies como en la columna. Para evitarlo, la solución que se aplica hasta ahora, suele ser la utilización de órtesis especialmente adaptados, los cuales, pudiendo ser de carácter fijo, articulado o una combinación de ambos, suponen, además de un aparatoso elemento que llama mucho la atención, un verdadero hándicap para poder realizar múltiples actividades físicas, como correr, saltar, bailar u otras propias sobre todo en los niños, por lo hablar de la molestia que suponen en verano cuando hace calor, ya que no se pueden adaptar a calzado ligero o sandalias abiertas. Por otra parte, está demostrado que, en la mayoría de los casos, las personas que presentan esta problemática suelen responder de manera positiva cuando se les hace notar la postura que adoptan y se les anima a corregirla, aunque el efecto sólo dura un pequeño lapso de tiempo, tras el cual se vuelven a olvidar de corregir el modo de andar para apoyar completamente la planta del pie a cada paso. This circumstance has great importance, since, if not corrected properly, in addition to the problems of muscular tension and tendon level in the plant that causes this way of walking, immediately or in the long run it can lead to much more serious problems , requiring sometimes even complicated surgical interventions, both in the feet and in the spine. To avoid this, the solution that is applied up to now, is usually the use of specially adapted orthoses, which, being able to be fixed, articulated or a combination of both, suppose, in addition to a bulky element that attracts a lot of attention, a true handicap to perform multiple physical activities, such as running, jumping, dancing or other own especially in children, so to speak of the discomfort they pose in summer when it is hot, since they can not be adapted to light footwear or open sandals . On the other hand, it is demonstrated that, in most cases, people who present this problem usually respond positively when they are made aware of the position they adopt and are encouraged to correct it, although the effect only lasts for a short time. of time, after which they forget again to correct the way of walking to completely support the sole of the foot at each step.
Sería deseable, por tanto, contar con algún medio que permitiera proporcionar de una manera constante el aviso para tomar consciencia de la postura adoptada al andar en cada paso, sin que deba ser la persona tutora, padre, madre, o quien sea que deba estar continuamente recordándole al paciente su manera de andar, y fuera un dispositivo automático el que proporcione dicho recordatorio, siendo el objetivo de la invención el desarrollo de un nuevo tipo de plantillas con tal capacidad. It would be desirable, therefore, to have some means that would allow the notice to be constantly updated in order to become aware of the position adopted when walking at each step, without the need to be the guardian, father, mother, or whoever should be. continuously reminding the patient of their way of walking, and it was an automatic device that provided said reminder, the objective of the invention being the development of a new type of templates with such capacity.
Por otra parte, y como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, cabe señalar que, si bien existen en el mercado múltiples tipos y modelos de plantillas, muchas de ellas especialmente diseñadas y conformada para corregir o aliviar determinados problemas del pie y su morfología, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ninguna otra plantilla o invención similar que presente unas características técnicas y estructurales semejantes a las que presenta esta invención. Explicación de la invención On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although there are multiple types and models of templates on the market, many of them specially designed and shaped to correct or alleviate certain foot problems and their morphology, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any other template or similar invention is unknown that presents technical and structural characteristics similar to those presented by this invention. Explanation of the invention
La plantilla inteligente para educar posturas al caminar que la invención propone se configura, pues, como una destacable novedad dentro de su campo de aplicación, ya que a tenor de su implementación se alcanzan satisfactoriamente los objetivos anteriormente señalados como idóneos, estando los detalles caracterizadores que lo hacen posible, convenientemente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente memoria descriptiva. The intelligent template to educate walking postures that the invention proposes is configured, therefore, as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, since according to its implementation the objectives previously indicated as suitable are satisfactorily achieved, the characteristic details being that the make possible, conveniently collected in the final claims that accompany the present specification.
Concretamente, lo que la invención propone, es una plantilla para calzado que se distingue por comprender un dispositivo electrónico que presenta un grupo de sensores de presión, acoplados a la misma de tal modo que recogen información de si el usuario, al caminar, no apoya correctamente el pie sobre la superficie de la plantilla. Specifically, what the invention proposes, is a footwear insole that is distinguished by comprising an electronic device that has a group of pressure sensors, coupled to it in such a way that they collect information on whether the user, when walking, does not support correctly the foot on the surface of the template.
Además, estos sensores están asociados a unos medios de alerta de manera que, al detectar que no se ejerce la presión adecuada sobre la base del talón, se activan dichos medios de alerta contemplándose, preferentemente, la posibilidad de poder seleccionar la modalidad de respuesta, bien por el propio usuario o bien por parte los padres o tutores en caso de tratarse de niños, para que dichos medios de alerta sean: - Una alerta a modo de estímulo sensorial o táctil, por ejemplo accionándose un pequeño elemento vibratorio que ejerce un ligero masaje o cosquilleo a lo largo de la plantilla, especialmente concentrado en la parte anterior del pie (dedos del pie y base plantar contigua), que sólo el usuario detectará y actuará en consecuencia corrigiendo su modo de caminar para evitar que se vuelva a repetir, siendo prácticamente imperceptible para personas externas. Furthermore, these sensors are associated with warning means so that, upon detecting that the proper pressure is not exerted on the base of the heel, said warning means are activated, preferably contemplating the possibility of being able to select the response mode, either by the user himself or by the parents or guardians in the case of children, so that these warning means are: - An alert as a sensory or tactile stimulus, for example by activating a small vibratory element that exerts a slight massage or tickling along the template, especially concentrated in the anterior part of the foot (toes and contiguous plantar base), which only the user will detect and act accordingly correcting their way of walking to prevent it from recurring, being practically imperceptible to outsiders.
- Una alerta a modo de aviso que, a su vez, podrá ser de tipo lumínico y/o sonoro, por ejemplo a través de un pequeño LED luminoso que se enciende y/o mediante la activación de una grabación con un tono musical, contemplándose incluso que pueda tratarse de la grabación de un mensaje oral incluido en un pequeño chip de memoria, en cuyo caso, podrán ser los propios padres quienes graben con su propia voz el mensaje, personalizando así el mismo para que el usuario se identifique mejor con la voz, al serle familiar, y "obedezca" o asimile mejor la recomendación al reconocer mejor alguna de estas dos señales (musical u oral). - An alert as a warning that, in turn, may be of the light and / or sound type, for example through a small LED that lights and / or by activating a recording with a musical tone, contemplating even that it may be the recording of an oral message included in a small memory chip, in which case, it may be the parents themselves who record the message with their own voice, thus personalizing it so that the user can better identify with the voice, to be familiar, and "obey" or better assimilate the recommendation to better recognize any of these two signals (musical or oral).
En este caso el componente electrónico que constituye el aviso lumínico y sonoro, constituidos respectivamente por un LED y un altavoz, con micrófono para el caso de que sea regrabable, preferentemente, será de carácter móvil para poder incorporarlo de manera independiente a la plantilla, por ejemplo en la parte superior externa del zapato, de modo que sea fácilmente visible y audible. De esta manera, se consigue estimular que el usuario corrija su modo de caminar, por ejemplo, de puntillas y, al cabo del tiempo se acostumbre a hacerlo correctamente sin pensar y camine por sí mismo apoyando correctamente toda la base plantar. Adicionalmente, la plantilla, además de un interruptor para controlar su puesta en funcionamiento para evitar un desgaste innecesario de batería cuando no se usa, incorpora un temporizador para controlar el tiempo de funcionamiento tras la activación. Preferentemente, también los medios de alerta con aviso pueden activarse o desactivarse voluntariamente mediante un interruptor de control, para evitar que suene o se encienda la luz en lugares no apropiados (p.ej. en una sala de cine o bien en momentos que requieran silencio), siendo esta activación independiente de la alerta sensorial, para que ésta pueda estar siempre activada cuando el dispositivo está funcionando. In this case, the electronic component that constitutes the light and sound warning, constituted respectively by an LED and a loudspeaker, with a microphone in case it is rewritable, will preferably be mobile in order to incorporate it independently to the template, example on the outer top of the shoe, so that it is easily visible and audible. In this way, it is possible to stimulate the user to correct his way of walking, for example, on tiptoe and, after time, he gets used to doing it correctly without thinking and walking by himself supporting the entire plantar base correctly. Additionally, the template, in addition to a switch to control its start-up to avoid unnecessary battery wear when not in use, incorporates a timer to control the operating time after activation. Preferably, the alerting means with warning can also be activated or deactivated voluntarily by means of a control switch, in order to avoid the sounding or switching on of the light in inappropriate places (for example in a movie theater or in moments that require silence). ), this activation being independent of the sensory alert, so that it can always be activated when the device is working.
En cualquier caso, la activación del sistema de alerta se produce cuando el sensor detecta que no se apoya el pie plano y no recibe la señal de presión adecuada en la base plantar. In any case, the activation of the warning system occurs when the sensor detects that the flat foot does not rest and does not receive the signal of adequate pressure in the plantar base.
Asimismo, también de modo opcional, el componente del sistema de aviso sonoro que contempla el dispositivo de la plantilla está también dotado de un controlador de volumen del micrófono y altavoz, con el fin de poder subir o bajar dicho volumen en función de las circunstancias de cada momento, pues no es lo mismo escucharlo en un espacio cerrado que en un espacio abierto, en especial si es un entorno urbano con mucho ruido de tráfico. Likewise, also optionally, the component of the warning system that contemplates the device of the template is also equipped with a volume controller of the microphone and loudspeaker, in order to be able to raise or lower said volume according to the circumstances of every moment, because it is not the same to hear it in a closed space than in an open space, especially if it is an urban environment with a lot of traffic noise.
Según otra de las características de la invención, para la alimentación del dispositivo electrónico de la plantilla, si bien preferentemente se contempla la incorporación de, al menos una batería intercambiable o recargable, no se descarta la incorporación de un sistema de recarga con energía solar, así como la existencia de un cargador de pilas de bajo voltaje (para los días nublados). According to another feature of the invention, for feeding the electronic device of the template, although preferably incorporating at least one interchangeable or rechargeable battery is contemplated, the incorporation of a recharging system with solar energy is not ruled out, as well as the existence of a low-voltage battery charger (for cloudy days).
En otro orden de cosas, cabe señalar que la plantilla de la invención está confeccionada en un material textil especial para evitar sudoración y alergias, siendo posible su limpieza en seco con algún producto especial -espuma- o con un paño humedecido sólo con agua. In another order of things, it should be noted that the template of the invention is made of a special textile material to prevent sweating and allergies, being possible dry cleaning with a special product - foam - or with a cloth dampened only with water.
Además, si bien el conjunto de componentes del dispositivo son, preferentemente aptos para soportar la humedad, se contempla también la protección de la superficie de la plantilla con un tejido impermeable o "water-proof que proteja, al menos, la zona que ocupan dichos componentes de cualquier accidente (p.ej. que caigan en una piscina o pisen en un charco de agua). In addition, although the set of components of the device are preferably suitable to withstand humidity, the protection of the surface of the template with a waterproof fabric or "water-proof" that protects, at least, the area occupied by said components of any accident (eg, falling into a swimming pool or stepping in a puddle of water).
Se contemplan dos opciones de fabricación de la plantilla inteligente de la invención, una en la que por una parte se fabrica la plantilla de manera convencional y se le incorpora superficialmente los diferentes componentes del dispositivo, fijándose a ella por ejemplo mediante pegado, teniendo en cuenta, como se ha mencionado anteriormente, que alguno de dichos componentes son independientes y quedan conectados al resto mediante el correspondiente cableado o conexión inalámbrica (sistema de alerta de aviso), en cuyo caso dichos componentes estarán convenientemente protegidos por cápsulas impermeables, o bien otra opción de la fabricación en la que los componentes del dispositivo que van unidos a la plantilla se incorporan en su interior en el mismo momento de su fabricación, emergiendo, en su caso, del borde de la misma el cableado al que se conectan los componentes externos de los medios de alerta de aviso. Two manufacturing options of the intelligent template of the invention are contemplated, one in which on the one hand the template is manufactured in a conventional manner and the different components of the device are incorporated superficially, being fixed to it for example by gluing, taking into account , as mentioned above, that some of said components are independent and are connected to the rest by the corresponding wiring or wireless connection (warning alert system), in which case said components will be conveniently protected by waterproof capsules, or another option of the manufacture in which the components of the device that are attached to the template are incorporated into it at the same time of its manufacture, emerging, where appropriate, from the edge of it the wiring to which the external components of the device are connected. the means of warning alert.
La descrita plantilla inteligente para educar posturas al caminar consiste, pues, en una estructura innovadora de características desconocidas hasta ahora para el fin a que se destina, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita. The described intelligent template to educate postures when walking consists, then, in an innovative structure of characteristics unknown until now for the purpose for which it is intended, reasons that together with its practical use, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.
