ORTHOTIC
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/029325
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an orthotic: which achieves both the orthotic force that is required to modify the shape of or improve function of the body, and the ability to track friction, compression and the like between an orthotic site and the orthotic that occurs during operation; and which is easy to fit and does not negatively impact outer appearance when fitted. This orthotic has a region B that expresses orthotic force when the orthotic is fitted. The region B is, with respect to any orthotic site, composed of a region B1 that covers the orthotic site, a region B2 that is a support region for causing orthotic force to act, and a region B3 for coupling the region B1 and the region B2 together. A structure that is used for the region B is a stretchy woven structure. The rate of elongation during a load of 100 N/5 cm is 1.0% to 20% in the warp and weft directions or one of said directions. The orthotic further has a region A that covers the periphery of the orthotic site, and the region A is preferably composed of at least one type of stretchy structure.
