The upper can be produced from leather, textiles or other natural or synthetic materials. A purpose-designed sole causes a dynamic, rolling walking-action and can be adapted to all possible conditions. During the rolling walking action, the construction of the sole (3) and the choice of material give the user a feeling of walking barefoot in the sand with a trampoline effect.

Description

SCHUHWERK FÜR AKTIV ABROLLENDES GEHEN FOOTWEAR FOR ACTIVE ROLLING WALKING
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Gerät für aktiv abrollendes Gehen gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device for actively rolling walking according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Der Mensch, mit seinem hochkomplizierten Bänder- Muskel-Sehnenapparat und der empfindlichen aufrechten Wirbelsäule, ist gebaut, um sich in der Natur auf unebenem Boden fortzubewegen. Mehrere tausend Jahre hat der Mensch seinen Körper auch dieser natürlichen Bedingung entsprechend eingesetzt und erhalten.Man, with his highly complex ligament-muscle-tendon apparatus and the sensitive upright spine, is built to move in nature on uneven ground. For thousands of years, humans have used and maintained their bodies according to this natural condition.
Erst in den letzten 100 Jahren haben wir in grossem Massstab begonnen, unsere Böden auf denen wir im Alltag leben und uns bewegen künstlich flach und hart zu gestalten. Wenn wir uns auf diesen Flächen bewegen, wird der Körper völlig anders gebraucht, als es die Natur eigentlich vorgesehen hat und genau seit dieser kurzen Periode der Menschheitsgeschichte haben sich Probleme an Rücken, Gelenken, Venen etc. seuchenartig zu verbreiten begonnen.Only in the last 100 years have we started to make our floors on which we live and move in everyday life artificially flat and hard. When we move on these surfaces, the body is used completely differently than nature intended and exactly since this short period in human history problems on the back, joints, veins, etc. have started to spread epidemically.
Für den Transport von Gütern hat der Mensch vor einigen tausend Jahren das Rad erfunden. Er realisierte damals, dass dies ein praktisches Mittel ist grosse Lasten über Distanzen zu transportieren. Je flacher die Transportwege sind, desto leichter geht der Transport. In der Folge hat er die Transportwege dem Rad angepasst und flach gemacht.Humans invented the wheel for the transport of goods a few thousand years ago. At that time he realized that this is a practical means of transporting large loads over distances. ever the flatter the transport routes, the easier the transport. As a result, he adapted the transport routes to the bike and made them flat.
Als nun der Mensch vor ca. 100 Jahren begann im grossen Stil sein Umfeld in dem er sich bewegt mit vorwiegend flachen Böden auszurüsten, hätte er - entsprechend der Entwicklung beim Rad - umgekehrt sein Gehgerät - mindestens die Fussbekleidung - umbauen müssen, nämlich so, dass er auf flachen Alltagsböden ebenfalls „rollen* kann. Nur so kann der natürliche Schwung im Gang - und damit die Gesundheit des Bewegungsapparates - erhalten bleiben. Diese Entwicklung hat die Schuhindustrie aber gänzlich verpasst.When people began to equip their environment in which they move with mostly flat floors about 100 years ago, they would have had to convert their walking device - at least their footwear - in accordance with the development of the bike - in such a way that it can also "roll" on flat, everyday floors. This is the only way to keep the natural swing in motion - and thus the health of the musculoskeletal system. However, the shoe industry completely missed this development.
Das Gehen des Menschen ist auf flachen Böden zwar sehr viel leichter. Es ist so leicht, dass es passives Gehen für das nur Teile des Bewegungsapparates gefordert sind ermöglicht, ja sogar zum passiven Gehen verleitet. Die Folge davon sind Schläge in die Gelenke und auf die Wirbelsäule. Die ungleiche Belastung des Bewegungspparates hat ihrerseits - zur Folge, dass einige Teile des Bewegungsapparates überhaupt nicht und andere im Übermass beansprucht werden. Die 10 '000 Schritte die ein Mensch im Durchschnitt pro Tag zurücklegt, fordern den menschlichen Körper. Bei unvorteilhafter und einseitiger Belastung des Bewegungsapparates, wie sie ein passiver Gang mit sich bringt, rufen Schläge in die Gelenke, einseitige Muskel-, Sehnen- und Bänderbelastungen die weit verbreiteten Rücken-, Gelenk-, Venen-, Bein-, und Fussprobleme hervor.Walking is much easier on flat floors. It is so light that it enables passive walking for which only parts of the musculoskeletal system are required, even tempting us to passive walking. This results in blows in the joints and on the spine. The uneven loading of the musculoskeletal system in turn has the consequence that some parts of the musculoskeletal system are not used at all and others are excessively stressed. The 10,000 steps a person takes on average per day the human body. With unfavorable and one-sided loading of the musculoskeletal system, as it brings with it a passive gait, blows in the joints, one-sided muscle, tendon and ligament loads cause the widespread back, joint, vein, leg and foot problems.
Die gebräuchlichen Schuhe mit Absatz haben sich der Gehsituation auf flachen Böden überhaupt nicht angepasst. Allenfalls sind Fussstützen im Schuh und weichere Sohlen, die eine Art Barfusslaufen ermöglichen auch auf dem Markt, aber einen Schuh der den Menschen zum gezielten, aktiven Einsatz seines Bewegungsapparates zwingt, und damit die für seinen Bewegungsapparat so wichtige Unebenheit des Bodens simuliert, gibt es nicht.The common shoes with heels have not adapted to the walking situation on flat floors at all. At best, there are footrests in the shoe and softer soles that enable a kind of barefoot walking, but there is no shoe that forces people to use their musculoskeletal system in a targeted, active manner, and thus simulates the unevenness of the floor that is so important for their musculoskeletal system ,
Leichte Behinderungen oder Haltungsschäden wie Knickoder Plattfuss werden z.B. mit Einlagen in Normalschuhen behandelt. Man geht davon aus, dass sich durch stetiges Tragen von Einlagen die erstrebte Korrektur mit der Zeit von selbst • ergibt . Leider ist das Gegenteil der Fall: Die entlastete Muskulatur wird geschwächt, da sie keine Aufgabe mehr hat. Der dynamischen Änderung und Weiterentwicklung des Zustandes der Haltung und des Bewegungsapparates wird dabei wenig bis gar keine Rechnung getragen.Slight disabilities or postural damage such as kinks or flat feet are treated with insoles in normal shoes, for example. It is assumed that the correction sought by itself • results by constant wearing of deposits over time. Unfortunately, the opposite is the case: the relieved muscles are weakened because they no longer have a task. The dynamic change and further development of the The condition of the posture and the musculoskeletal system is little to no account taken of.
Bei leichteren Behinderungen ist oftmals eine sich ständig auswirkende Massnahme, wie z.B. das Tragen von Einlagen nicht günstig. Zu leicht geschieht es, dass sich der Träger aus der einen Fehlhaltung die man korrigieren wollte, aufgrund der statischen Korrektur eine andere neue Fehlhaltung aneignet.In the case of minor disabilities, a measure that is constantly taking effect, such as the wearing of deposits is not cheap. It is too easy for the wearer to adopt another incorrect posture from the one incorrect posture that one wanted to correct due to the static correction.
Weder Schuhe noch die oben beschriebenen und in vielen Artikeln und Patenten beschriebenen Geräte zum Gehen tragen der Forderung Rechnung, den ganzen Bewegungsapparat durch aktives Gehen einsetzen zu müssen und selbst und kurzfristig zu bestimmen in welcher Art Muskeln, Sehnen und Wirbelsäule zum aktiven Gehen gebracht werden sollen. Sowohl orthopädische Schuhe als auch Einlagen können nur vom orthopädischen Fachmann geändert werden. Deshalb sind die vorhandenen Mittel ungeeignet, leichte, vielleicht auch vorübergehende Haltungsfehler und Fehler des Ablaufes des Bewegungsapparates gezielt und auch kurzfristig zu trainieren.Neither shoes nor the devices for walking described above and described in many articles and patents meet the requirement to use the entire musculoskeletal system through active walking and to determine for yourself and at short notice how muscles, tendons and spine should be brought to active walking , Both orthopedic shoes and insoles can only be changed by an orthopedic specialist. Therefore, the available means are unsuitable to train slight, maybe also temporary postural errors and errors in the movement of the musculoskeletal system in a targeted manner and also at short notice.
Die Physiotherapie behilft sich vielfach mit der Anweisung für entsprechende Übungen und Bewegungen. Dies wieder hat den Nachteil, dass die Therapie nicht ständig, also während des normalen Gehens bei der Arbeit etc. erfolgen kann und .der Patient selbst wenige empfohlene Übungen oft gar nicht macht .Physiotherapy often helps itself with the instructions for appropriate exercises and movements. This again has the disadvantage that the therapy does not constantly, i.e. during normal walking at work etc. and. the patient often does not even do a few recommended exercises.
Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt sich nunmehr die Aufgabe, einen Schuh oder eine andere Fussbekleidung der Eingangs genannten Art derart zu verbessern, dass sie zum aktiven Gehen zwingt. Dadurch werden die 10' 000 täglich gegangenen Schritte zum natürlichen rollenden Bewegungsablauf. Gleichmässige Belastung des ganzen Körpers dient der Gelenkschonung, dem Muskelaufbau, der Haltungsaufrichtung und der Förderung von BlutZirkulation („Venenpumpe* ) . Das Gerät für aktiv abrollendes Gehen soll vom Fachmann vorbereitet und vom Anwender selbst angepasst werden können.The present invention has as its object to improve a shoe or other footwear of the type mentioned in such a way that it forces active walking. As a result, the 10,000 steps taken every day become a natural rolling movement. Uniform strain on the whole body is used to protect the joints, build muscle, maintain posture and promote blood circulation (“vein pump *). The device for actively rolling walking should be prepared by a specialist and adapted by the user himself.

Die Figuren stellen bevorzugte Ausführungs-beispiele dar, welche mit der nachfolgenden Beschreibung erläutert werden.The figures represent preferred exemplary embodiments, which are explained with the following description.
Ein erfindungsgemässes Gerät für aktiv abrollendes Gehen 1, im folgenden Gehgerät 1 genannt, besteht aus einem Oberschuh 2 und einer Sohle 3. Der Oberschuh 2 dient für das sichere Fixieren des Gehgerätes 1 am Fuss. Dies kann mittels Riemen wie sie für Sandalen eingesetzt werden, Schnüren wie bei Strandschuhen oder ganzem Oberschuh aus Leder oder Textil gelöst sein. Wichtig ist dabei, dass der Fuss durch diesen Oberschuh 2 fest und bequem mit der Mittelsohle 10 verbunden ist.A device according to the invention for active walking 1, hereinafter referred to as walking device 1, consists of an upper shoe 2 and a sole 3. The upper shoe 2 is used for securely fixing the walking device 1 to the foot. This can be solved by means of straps such as those used for sandals, cords such as beach shoes or a whole leather or textile upper shoe. It is important that the foot is firmly and comfortably connected to the midsole 10 through this upper shoe 2.
Die Sohle 3 kann verschieden aufgebaut sein. Grundsätzlich besteht sie mindesten aus Mittelsohle 10, Untersohle 12 und Sohlenboden 13. Um die Flexibilität des Gehgerätes 1 zu erhöhen, kann zwischen Mittelsohle 10 und Untersohle 12 ein Mittelsohlenboden 11 eingebaut sein. Einsatz und Anwendung entscheiden darüber, wie ein erfindungsgemässes Gehgerät 1 aufgebaut ist. Dies ist einer der Vorteile dieses Gehgerätes 1. Es ist den Bedürfnissen einer Gruppe von Anwendungszielen angepasst, und kann trotzdem individuell eingestellt werden.The sole 3 can be constructed differently. Basically, it consists at least of midsole 10, undersole 12 and sole base 13. In order to increase the flexibility of walking device 1, a midsole base 11 can be installed between midsole 10 and undersole 12. Use and The application decides how a walking device 1 according to the invention is constructed. This is one of the advantages of this walking device 1. It is adapted to the needs of a group of application goals, and can still be adjusted individually.
Die Mittelsohle 10 wird aus konventionellem Material hergestellt und soll relativ hart sein. Sie wird allenfalls dem Einsatzzweck angepasst, so dass für den Turnschuh eine andere Härte d.h. ein anderes Material gewählt wird, als z.B. für einen Alltagsschuh. Der Mittelsohlenboden 11 wird aus hartelastischem Material hergestellt. Er weist ferner genügend Festigkeit auf, um von der Verformung der Untersohle 12 entstehende Kräfte aufzufangen. Der Mittelsohlenboden 11 ist anderseits stabil genug, um die noppenartigen harten Einschlüsse 15 sicher tragen zu können. Die untere Begrenzung der Mittelsohle 10 oder falls vorhanden des Mittelsohlenbodens 11 weist eine nach unten ballige, bogen- oder kreissegmentartige beliebige Form auf. Diese Form wird je nach Zweckbestimmung des Gehgerätes 1 gewählt .The midsole 10 is made of conventional material and is said to be relatively hard. At most, it is adapted to the intended use, so that a different hardness i.e. a different material is selected than e.g. for an everyday shoe. The midsole floor 11 is made of hard elastic material. It also has sufficient strength to absorb the forces arising from the deformation of the midsole 12. On the other hand, the midsole base 11 is stable enough to be able to safely carry the knob-like hard inclusions 15. The lower boundary of the midsole 10 or, if present, the midsole base 11 has any shape that is spherical, arched or segmented in the form of a segment. This shape is selected depending on the intended use of the walking device 1.
Die Untersohle 12 ist der wichtigste Teil des Gehgerätes 1. Sie weist auf der Seite gegen den abschliessenden Sohlenboden 13 eine nach unten ballige, bogen- oder kreissegmentartige beliebige Form auf. Sie wird aus stark verformbarem und flexiblem Material, welches dem Anwender beim Abrollen ein Gefühl vom Barfussgehen im Sand mit Trampolin Effekt vermittelt. Der Abrollvorgang, wie er in den Figuren 3, 4 und 5 chronologisch dargestellt ist, erfordert gleich wie das Gehen auf Sand einen gewissen aktiven Kraftaufwand. In der letzten Phase des Abrollens, wie in Fig 5 dargestellt soll eine Art Trampolin-Effekt den Abrollvorgang abschliessen. Der Sohlenboden 13 dient in erster Linie dem Schutz der Untersohle 12 gegen Abnutzung und gibt dem Gehgerät 1 die notwendige Rutschfestigkeit. Aus stark nachgebendem und gegen Abrieb widerstandsfähigem und elastischem Material gefertigt, sackt er beim Abrollen sofort zusammen. Er passt sich dadurch während des Abrollens immer der oben beschriebenen Form der Untersohle 12 an. Je nachdem bringt man geeignete Mittel am Sohlenboden 13 an, um Noppen 14 individuell und unkompliziert befestigen zu können.The under sole 12 is the most important part of the walking device 1. It points on the side against the closing sole bottom 13 a downward crowned, arch or circle segment-like shape. It is made of highly deformable and flexible material, which gives the user a feeling of walking barefoot in the sand with a trampoline effect. The rolling process, as shown chronologically in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, requires a certain amount of active effort, just like walking on sand. In the last phase of rolling, as shown in FIG. 5, a kind of trampoline effect is supposed to complete the rolling process. The sole bottom 13 serves primarily to protect the under sole 12 against wear and gives the walking device 1 the necessary slip resistance. Made of highly yielding and abrasion-resistant and elastic material, it immediately collapses when unrolled. As a result, it always adapts to the shape of the midsole 12 described above during rolling. Depending on the situation, suitable means are attached to the sole base 13 in order to be able to fasten the knobs 14 individually and without complications.
Der erfindungsgemässe Aufbau der Sohle 3, aus Mittelsohle 10, Mittelsohlenboden 11, Untersohle 12 und Sohlenboden 13 ermöglicht jede Art der Anpassung. Für gezielte Einsatz- und Anwendungsgebiete wie Massage, Fuss-Bein-Korrektur, Statik der Wirbelsäule, Fussreflex, etc., kann die Mittelsohle 10 und die Untersohle 12 aus einem Stück gegossen werden. Der Übergang von der relativ harten Mittelsohle 10 auf die weichelastische Untersohle 12 geschieht in vielen Fällen fliessend. In der Fertigung bietet diese Methode der Fertigung ins Gewicht fallende Vorteile. In jedem Fall ist die Sohle 3 durch einen Sohlenboden 13, der eine oben mehrfach beschriebene ballige Form aufweist, abgeschlossen.The structure of the sole 3 according to the invention, consisting of the midsole 10, the midsole base 11, the midsole 12 and the sole base 13, enables any type of adaptation. For targeted areas of application such as Massage, foot-leg correction, statics of the spine, foot reflex, etc., the midsole 10 and the midsole 12 can be cast from one piece. In many cases, the transition from the relatively hard midsole 10 to the soft elastic midsole 12 is smooth. This method of manufacture offers significant advantages in manufacturing. In any case, the sole 3 is closed off by a sole base 13 which has a spherical shape which has been described several times above.
Die Untersohle 12 kann aus Schichten oder verschiedenen Teilen zusammengesetzt sein. Es ist z.B. denkbar, dass man beim Auftritt (Fig 3) im hinteren Drittel der Sohle 3 eine erste, im Mitteldrittel der Sohle 3 (Fig 4) eine zweite und im vorderen Drittel (Fig 5) eine dritte Zusammensetzung der Mischung wählt. Die Zielsetzung, der rollenden Bewegung ist massgebend für die Wahl der Zusammensetzungen und des Aufbaus der Sohle 3. Es werden dabei Materialien gewählt, welche stark verformbar und flexibel sind, jedoch einen guten Rückstelleffekt gewährleisten.The midsole 12 can be composed of layers or different parts. It is e.g. it is conceivable that a first composition (FIG. 3) is selected in the rear third of the sole 3, a second composition in the middle third of the sole 3 (FIG. 4) and a third composition in the front third (FIG. 5). The objective of the rolling movement is decisive for the choice of the compositions and the structure of the sole 3. Materials are selected which are highly deformable and flexible, but which guarantee a good restoring effect.
Speziell für orthopädische Einsätze eignet sich die in Figur 2 dargestellte Möglichkeit, am Mittelsohlenboden 11 harte Einschlüsse 15 befestigen zu können. Diese harten Einschlüsse 15 können beliebiger Form und Grosse sein. Das gewählte Material kann verschiedene Harte und Elastizität aufweisen. Die Wahl von Form, Harte und Elastizität richtet sich nach dem Einsatzgebiet, für welches das Gehgerat 1 vorgesehen ist. Mit diesen harten Einschlüssen 15 können Fehlstellungen der Fusse, wie sie z.B. bei Knick- oder Plattfuss oder Haltungsfehler der Knie- oder Huftstellung sowie Wirbelsaulen Fehlstellungen vorkorrigiert werden. Diese harten Einschlüsse 15 ermogichen aber auch Massageeffekte, Anregung der Fusszonenreflexe und die Planung gezielter Bewegungsabläufe. Man wird erreichen, dass das Gehgerat 1 zur Stärkung gewisser Muskeln und zur aktiven Unterstützung des Skelettapparates eingesetzt werden kann.The option shown in FIG. 2 is particularly suitable for orthopedic uses, in that 11 hard inclusions 15 can be attached to the midsole floor. This hard inclusions 15 can be of any shape and size. The selected material can have different hardness and elasticity. The choice of shape, hardness and elasticity depends on the area of application for which the walking device 1 is intended. These hard inclusions 15 can be used to pre-correct misalignments of the feet, such as those with kinked or flat feet or postural errors in the knee or hip position, as well as spinal misalignments. These hard inclusions 15 also enable massage effects, stimulation of the foot zone reflexes and the planning of specific movements. It will be achieved that the walking device 1 can be used to strengthen certain muscles and to actively support the skeletal system.
Die am Sohlenboden 13 zu befestigenden Noppen 14 können sowohl fest als auch abnehmbar angebracht werden. Wenn sie ahnlich den Noppen an Fussballschuhen beliebig ausgetauscht werden können, so bietet dies dem Anwender den Vorteil und die Möglichkeit, dass er selbst gewisse Trainingseffekte einstellen kann. Das erfindungsgemässe Gehgerat 1 wird damit zum Trainingsgerät, das sich den ändernden Bedingungen des Trainingsbedarfes anpassen kann. Die beschriebenen Noppen 14 können eine beliebige Form und verschiedene Grossen aufweisen. Die Härte und Elastizität kann dem ensprechenden Einsatz angepasst werden. Natürlich können am Sohlenboden 13 auch andere Hindernisse beliebiger Form, Grosse, Elastizität und anderen Material Eigenschaften angebracht werden. Diese können mit dem Sohlenboden 13 entweder fest verbunden oder am Sohlenboden 13 abnehmbar befestigt sein.The knobs 14 to be fastened on the sole bottom 13 can be attached both fixedly and removably. If they can be exchanged like the pimples on soccer shoes, this offers the user the advantage and the possibility that he can set certain training effects himself. The walking device 1 according to the invention thus becomes a training device that can adapt to the changing conditions of the training requirement. The knobs 14 described can have any shape and different sizes. The hardness and elasticity can be adapted to the corresponding application. Of course, other obstacles of any shape, size, elasticity and other material properties can also be attached to the sole bottom 13. These can either be firmly connected to the sole base 13 or can be removably attached to the sole base 13.
Der Sohlenboden 13 dient als Abschluss und Schutzschicht von Teilen oder aller Teile der ganzen Sohle 3. Er kann rund um Sohle 3 angeordnet und falls erwünscht bis zum Oberschuh 2 hochgezogen werden.The sole bottom 13 serves as an end and protective layer for parts or all parts of the entire sole 3. It can be arranged around the sole 3 and, if desired, can be pulled up to the upper shoe 2.
In Fig 6 ist gezeigt, dass ein harter Einschluss 15 auch grosse Dimensionen annehmen kann und den ganzen vorderen Teil der Sohle II ausfüllt. Beim Punkt x Schnitt B weist er eine Dicke d auf, die bis zur Spitze I des Gehgerätes 1 keilförmig ausläuft. Der Raum zwischen Mittelsohlenboden 11 und Untersohlenboden 13 wird durch den dargestellten harten Einschluss 15 ganz ausgefüllt. Alle vier nach vorne gerichteten Begrenzungsflächen P,P Q und Qλ des Keiles können in beliebiger Form gestaltet und der Aussenkontur des Gerätes für aktiv abrollendes Gehen 1 angepasst werden. Die fünfte nach hinten gerichtete Fläche R des Keils, die z.B. im Schnitt an der Linie B in Fig 10 dargestellt ist, dehnt sich in beliebiger Form bis zum Absatz V aus. Fig 11 und Fig 14 zeigen mögliche Ausbildungsformen dieses Teiles eines harten Einschlusses 15. Selbstverständlich andern die Formen der Flachen P,Pλ,Q und Q e nach Form des hintern Teiles des harten Einschlusses 15. Die Flache R kann durch verschiedene Linien a,aλ,b und bλ begrenzt und m Segmente R,R RV wie m Fig 14 dargestellt unterteilt sein.6 shows that a hard inclusion 15 can also take on large dimensions and fill the entire front part of the sole II. At point x section B, it has a thickness d that ends in a wedge shape up to tip I of walking device 1. The space between the midsole base 11 and the bottom surface 13 is completely filled by the hard inclusion 15 shown. All four forward-facing boundary surfaces P, PQ and Q λ of the wedge can be designed in any shape and the outer contour of the device for active walking 1 be adjusted. The fifth rearward-facing surface R of the wedge, which is shown, for example, in section on line B in FIG. 10, extends in any shape up to step V. Fig. 11 and Fig. 14 show possible designs of this part of a hard inclusion 15. Of course, the shapes of the surfaces P, P λ , Q and Q e change according to the shape of the rear part of the hard inclusion 15. The surface R can be represented by different lines a, a λ , b and b λ are limited and m segments R, RR V as shown in Fig. 14 can be divided.
Die Form des harten Einschlusses 15 im mittleren Abschnitt III und im hinteren Abschitt IV kann wie die Beispiele Fig 11 und Fig 14 zeigen, frei gestaltet werden. Sowohl die nach aussen begrenzenden Linien a und a welche die Punkte x und z resp. x und zx verbinden, als auch die mittlere m Fig 14 quasi als „Kamm* dargestellte Linie b, welche die Punkte y und v verbindet, können grundsatzlich beliebig verlaufen.The shape of the hard inclusion 15 in the middle section III and in the rear section IV can be designed as shown in the examples in FIGS. 11 and 14. Both the outward lines a and a which the points x and z respectively. Connecting x and z x , as well as the middle line m b shown as a “comb *”, which connects the points y and v, can in principle run as desired.
Die Linie b wird m den wenigsten Fallen mittig angeordent sein. Durch die von der Mitte abweichende Anordnung erreicht man für den Trager des Gehgerätes 1 eine gezielte einseitige Belastung des Bewegungsapparates, insbesondere der Muskeln. Um die Gefahr des Abknickens beim Gehen zu vermeiden oder zu mildern, kann durch eine unendliche Kurvenschar b, welche eine unendliche Zahl von Punkten x und y verbinden, eine rund geformte Fläche R beliebiger Form wie in Fig 11 gezeigt bilden.Line b will be arranged in the middle of the fewest cases. Due to the arrangement deviating from the center, the wearer of the walking device 1 is subjected to a targeted one-sided loading of the musculoskeletal system, in particular the muscles. In order to avoid or mitigate the risk of kinking when walking, an infinite family of curves b, which connect an infinite number of points x and y, can form a round-shaped surface R of any shape as shown in FIG.
Der Raum zwischen Mittelsohlenboden 11 und Untersohlenboden 13 wird in jedem Fall durch harte Einschlüsse 15 und die weiche Untersohle 12 ausgefüllt. Es gibt keine Lufteinschlüsse. Harter Einschluss 15 und Untersohle 12 passen sich gegenseitig so an, dass eine nach aussen als ganzes wahrnembare Form gebildet wird, welche vom Untersohlenbaoden 13 abgeschlossen wird. The space between the midsole base 11 and the bottom surface 13 is in any case filled by hard inclusions 15 and the soft bottom sole 12. There are no air pockets. Hard inclusion 15 and undersole 12 adapt to one another in such a way that an externally perceptible form is formed which is closed off by the undersole base 13.
