A foot orthosis for correcting foot malpositions, in particular for treating hallux valgus, comprising a toe splint configured to be fastened to a toe and a metatarsal splint configured to be fastened to a metatarsal region of the foot, each of which are pivotably connected relative to one another by means of a swivel joint When the foot orthosis is fastened to the foot, the foot orthosis is configured to exert a first corrective force on the toe via the toe splint and to exert a second corrective force on a metatarsophalangeal joint via the swivel joint in the opposite direction to the first corrective force The swivel joint is provided with a recess which extends along a swivel axis of the swivel joint and is designed such that, when fastened to the foot, a sideways protruding section of the metatarsophalangeal joint is received in the recess.

Foot orthosis with swivel joint for correcting foot malpositions

Footwear for treating and preventing foot malpositions, in particular for treating and preventing hallux valgus, comprising a holding element configured for securing a foot relative to the footwear; and a tensioning element configured to be fastened to a toe and configured, in a state in which the footwear is fastened to the foot, to exert a first corrective force on the toe and to exert a second corrective force directed opposite to the first corrective force on a metatarsophalangeal joint of the toe, wherein the tensioning element is an elastic correcting strap.

Footwear having an elastic correcting strap for treating and preventing foot malpositions

A footwear is provided for preventing or treating a pathological deformity of a wearers foot, comprising a toe strap for being fastened to the great toe, an upper for being fastened to a metatarsus region of the foot and comprising a lateral section and a medial section, and an adjustment mechanism comprising a tension element coupled to the toe strap and configured for variably adjusting a pulling force applied to the toe strap, wherein the adjustment mechanism is arranged in or on the lateral section of the upper such that the tension element is guided to a lateral side of the footwear. The medial section of the upper extends from the adjustment mechanism in a medial direction to a medial side of the footwear and is adjustable in its circumferential length.

Footwear for preventing or treating a pathological deformity of a wearer's foot

A hallux valgus sandal for treating at least great toe malpositions, having a sole element with an outsole and a footbed, with a great toe strap section for the lateral positional fixing of the great toe and with a holding strap section, which holds the sandal on the foot when the sandal is worn. The wrap length of the great toe strap section can be changed in such a way that an adjustable corrective force can be exerted on the great toe. A metatarsus strap section is also provided, the wrap length of which can be changed, wherein both strap sections can be coupled to each other such that a metatarsus corrective force acting laterally on the metatarsal bone can be varied to press the metatarsal bone on the foot inner side in the lateral direction towards the foot outer side. As a result of said metatarsus corrective force, a hallux corrective force in the direction toward the foot inner side can be exerted, wherein the great toe strap section is guided backwards from the great toe at an angle and enters a channel on the inside of the sole element that is arranged in the metatarsus region of the sandal.
