Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

The present invention belongs to the technical field of taping tapes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The early taping theory in Japan was developed in American football and sports competitions for the purpose of preventing joints, continuation of sports due to injuries, and prevention of recurrence. At present, it is applied in the fields of physical education, sports, physiotherapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, judo reduction, chiropractic, etc. for the purpose of emergency treatment in case of injury due to trauma, fixation and rest of the affected part, prevention, protection and prevention of recurrence after the lapse. As a result, new taping theories have been devised and born.

[0003] The spiral taping theory for the purpose of treatment was devised based on Oriental medicine and spiral theory, and a unique theory system was established by applying a non-stretchable tape. Since non-elastic tape is superior in terms of fixing force, spiral taping theory can be used in the concept of fixing joints.

[0004] The functional taping theory is a method corresponding to a combination of a non-stretchable tape and a stretchable tape. The fixing method and strength of the taping vary depending on the progress of the damaged area, the degree of damage, and the type of sports competition. In some cases, some movement may be required while still fixed. In response to those requests, functional taping theory can be said. If a certain amount of fixation is required and the joint movement function is also required, functional taping theory can be used.

[0005] However, since functional taping theory is mainly devised for sports competitions, there is no fixed persistence required for treatment, and it does not function as care for daily life. What is important at the treatment site is the persistence of fixation, the difference in thickness of the tape, the adhesive strength, the air permeability, the degree of rash on the skin, etc., and the body sensation when applied to the body must also be considered.

[0006] Kinesio taping theory devised for the purpose of treatment is a taping theory based on chiropractic. In kinesio taping theory, one-way elastic tape is used to restore normal muscles that have impaired their original function or that have various disorders. Use unidirectional elastic tape to increase muscle strength when running muscles that are experiencing muscle weakness.

[0007] Taping aims at resting the affected area by fixing the joints during sports competitions or when injured, promoting the natural healing power, etc., preventing the affected area from recurring and continuing the competition. Or, it has been developed in medical treatment for the purpose of preventing injuries. At present, the above taping theory has been devised, and non-stretchable tapes and unidirectionally stretchable tapes that expand and contract in one direction are used. In fact, even in the conventional taping theory aimed at fixing a sprain in an ankle, a non-stretchable tape or a stretchable tape that expands and contracts in one direction is used.

[0008]

[Problem to be solved by the present invention] The taping method for coping with sprains in the ankle joint depends on whether the affected part is in the early stage or after the injury, or whether the degree of damage is mild or severe, and the tape used is also different. change. For example, it is generally better not to use stretchy tape at the beginning of the injury or for severe injury because of swelling. This is because the elasticity of the tape may compress the affected part.

By the way, between the bones forming the joint due to the sprains, a force to separate the bones more or less acts. Pain in the ankle joint when walking and stepping on weight while applying force is due to the separation force between the bones in the injured joint, which has a subtle effect on the joint structure . The use of elastic tape can be expected to counter the opening force. The force of the tape with elasticity is used to draw the dissected bones apart. However, what should be considered here is the question of what kind of tape can be used if it has elasticity.

The problem is not simple when considering the joint function structure. Here, when the joint structures are classified, they can be classified into planar joints, molar joints, ball joints, condylar joints, hinge joints, axle joints, saddle joints, and the like according to the motion style. In addition, it can be classified into uniaxial joints, biaxial joints, triaxial joints, and multiaxial joints according to the axis of motion.

Considering the human body weight axis, biomechanics, and kinematics, in the case of an ankle function, the direction of motion is low bending, dorsiflexion, adduction, abduction, inversion (valgus, dorsiflexion). , Abduction), eversion (e.g., varus, hypoflexion, adduction) Becomes Considering the motor function of the ankle joint, three joint functions must work simultaneously in one movement. Articulation does not simply bend, stretch, or rotate, but involves complex movements such as bending, twisting, twisting, etc. in one movement.

For example, in an operation of eating an object, there is an operation of grasping an object with chopsticks and carrying it to the mouth. There, the fingers, elbows and shoulder joints work, and the muscle elasticity flexes, stretches, adduction, abduction, internal application, external application, and torsion, and these operations function in a complex manner. Thus, the movement of the joint is not only a bending and stretching, but also a complicated movement. Considering that, conventional elastic tape cannot cope with the complicated movement. The first problem of the present invention is not to simply fix joints, etc., but to enable movement in response to complicated movements, and recover and hold at a desired position and keep it. To provide a taping tape.

In functional taping theory, a thick tape is frequently used when an ankle is damaged. It is difficult to tap using unidirectional elastic tape, taking into account the complex operating functions of the joint. To cope with this problem by applying a large amount of tape, it is necessary to consider the complicated direction of movement of the joint and the direction of expansion and contraction of the tape. In addition, conventional one-way elastic tape is too thick, so if you put tape around the swollen ankle and put on your shoes, it will adversely affect your toes, Achilles tendon or knee. Will be given. Excessive use of thick tapes has a subtle effect on joint motor function and body gravity.

When the tape is thick, the tape is easily peeled off due to friction between the attached portion and, for example, clothes. Furthermore, if too much tape is applied to the foot, friction with the shoe may cause foot damage, which may affect walking. As described above, various adverse effects occur depending on the thickness of the tape. A second object of the present invention is to provide a taping tape in which the thickness of the taping does not increase.

[0015] Furthermore, a problem can be pointed out that the conventional elastic tape does not have an appropriate elasticity. If the stretching force is weak, the breaking force acting between the bones in the injured joint cannot be sufficiently reduced. With conventional elastic tape, the fixation force on the joint and the tractive force against the disengagement force acting between the bones in the joint are insufficient, so that the repairing force of ligaments and the like cannot be increased. Conversely, if a tape with too high a stretching force is used, an excessive shrinking force acts in a specific direction, which has an adverse effect on healing. A third object of the present invention is to provide a taping tape which can sufficiently reduce the separating force acting between the bones and has an appropriate retaining force.

[0016]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Means for solving the above problems are as described in the claims for utility model registration. That is, the invention of claim 1 comprises a gas-permeable material having a stretching force in one direction, a direction perpendicular to the direction, and an oblique direction, and an adhesive layer, and the gas-permeable material is made of an elastic fiber using polyurethane. It has a structure in which filaments are laminated, a stress at 100% elongation in each direction is in a range of 40 to 1,000 g / cm, a recovery rate of 100% elongation is in a range of 80 to 100%, The breaking strength is in the range of 90 to 3,000 g / cm, the breaking elongation is in the range of 370 to 1,500%, and taping tape is used to keep a part of the human body movable. is there.

Since the tape material is not a knitted and woven fabric but a nonwoven fabric in which filaments of elastic fibers are laminated, there is no directionality in stretchability. In addition, since it is a polyurethane elastic fiber, it can obtain a specific high elongation in any direction and exhibits extremely high sliding resistance in terms of friction coefficient.

Here, the stress at 100% elongation means the force applied when the base material is stretched by 100%, and the recovery rate at 100% elongation is the recovery rate when the base material is stretched by 100% and returned. Means For example, if a tape having a recovery rate of 90% is extended by 10 cm, the tape is returned by 9 cm.

The breaking strength refers to the force applied when the base material is stretched until it breaks, and the elongation at break refers to the elongation percentage when the base material is stretched until it breaks.

A second aspect of the present invention is a taping tape having multi-directional elasticity, in which three joint movement functions are simultaneously performed in one operation of the tape.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a taping tape in which the tape attracts bones to each other and exhibits a traction force against a separating force acting between the bones.

[0022]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The taping tape according to the present invention acts on the subcutaneous sensory receptors and autonomic nervous system by stimulation by stretching force to promote the metabolism of the body and improve blood circulation. . The therapeutic effect using the elasticity of the tape is exhibited, and the circulation is improved to promote metabolism. In this way, it acts on the subcutaneous autonomic nervous system, affecting sensory receptors, blood vessels, and muscles.

Further, the taping tape according to the present invention makes the taping part conscious due to its strong stretching force. Therefore, the natural healing power instinctively possessed by humans and animals is activated. Based on the theory that conscious areas heal faster than unconscious areas, this is a new field of stimulation therapy that replaces intradermal needles and magnetism. Awareness by applying multi-directional elastic tape enhances the natural treatment ability that humans originally possess. This is based on the theory that heals faster than the unconscious.

Further, the tape for taping according to the present invention is considered to have a therapeutic effect in addition to early treatment, prevention, and prevention of recurrence of an injured site, or fixation, protection, and prevention of protective muscles and joints. For example, the fixation force and the traction force between the bones where a disengagement force is acting in the joint increase the repairing force of ligaments and the like.

As described above, a sprain is a phenomenon in which a breaking force acts between the bones forming the joint and damages the ligament. In the joint where the disengagement force was exerted, the ligament had some damage and the joint became unstable. Therefore, considering the joint structure and motor function, unstable joints can be stabilized if the taping tape has a traction force that draws the bones. The taping tape according to the present invention, which has elasticity in multiple directions, allows the joint to move, does not lose its functionality, and keeps the joint in a desired position. There is little adverse effect on the site. Further, as in the case of the functional taping theory, the tape does not need to be heavily used, so that the thickness of the taping can be reduced.

Further, the taping tape according to the present invention has the advantage of having elasticity in multiple directions in terms of biomechanics and structure. Even if you are not sprained, it may have an effect on diseases caused by structural problems in the human body. It is also effective from the viewpoint of joint structural characteristics and motor function. For example, a foot deformity (a structural change) affects the knee, which in turn affects the hips, back, shoulders, and forehead, which can lead to major abnormalities. The spine that constitutes them will also have an adverse effect on the autonomic nervous system distributed in various internal organs, and it is conceivable that the disease will shift to medical diseases. Thinking this way, you can see how it is not good for you to lose your balance. Therefore, the multi-directional elasticity of the taping tape according to the present invention corrects a portion that places a burden on the body.

[0027]

[Example 1] The tape material is, firstly, elastic in many directions regardless of the material of the tape material, and secondly, is as thin as possible. Thirdly, if it is suitable for the condition that it is hard to cause rash and harm to the human body, fourthly, it has good air permeability and fifthly, it is sticky. Regardless of the material.

Table 1 shows a comparison of various tape performances. Tape A is a non-stretchable tape and has the highest fixing force because it has no stretch force. Tape B is a fabric kinesio tape and has a small fixing force due to its elasticity and weak contraction. The tape C is a fabric elastomeric tape and has a small fixing force because it has elasticity and weak contraction. The tape D is a nylon-based chemi-spo tape, which has a certain amount of fixing force due to its strong contracting force although it has elasticity.

The tape E is a multi-directional elastic tape made of a urethane nonwoven fabric, and has a considerable degree of fixing force because of a very strong contracting force although it has a stretching force. The base material of the tape E 1 is made of polyurethane elastic fiber and is embossed. This substrate has a 100% elongation stress in each direction in the range of 40 to 1,000 g / cm 2 and a 100% elongation recovery rate in the range of 80 to 100%. It is sufficient that the breaking strength is in the range of 90 to 3,000 g / cm and the breaking elongation is in the range of 370 to 1,500%. 40 to 470 g / cm, 100% elongation recovery in each direction is 88 to 92%, breaking strength is 0.09 kg / cm to 1.65 kg / cm, and breaking elongation is 370% to 740. %, And those having a stiffness of about 11 mm to 61 mm are more preferable. The substrate of this example has a stress at 100% elongation of 190 to 215 g / cm, a recovery rate of 89%, a breaking strength of 0.50 to 0.70 kg / cm, a breaking elongation of 460 to 510%, It has a hardness of 30 to 33 mm and is coated with an adhesive. The tape E has a paste thickness of 50 μm, a base material thickness of 168 μm to 188 μm, and a tape thickness of 210 μm to 240 μm.

[0030]

[Table 1]

In Table 1, the elongation, contraction, and recovery were calculated for only the tape portion of about 5 to 10 cm. Here, the contraction force means the force applied when the tape is stretched to the maximum, and the one with the strong contraction force can utilize the traction force of the tape without stretching the tape to the maximum. The resilience is the rate at which the tape shrinks after being stretched to its maximum.

In the theory of multi-directional elastic tapes, tapes using fabrics such as tapes A, B and C have only one-directional elasticity, so these are out of the question. The tape D is made of nylon, has a honeycomb pattern, and has a multidirectional stretching function. However, the problem is that the traction force (stretching force) when worn on the human body changes depending on the damage to the joint function and the human body structure. It is better that the elongation of the tape is equal on average in each direction, and ideally, the tape exerts a uniform shrinkage force. Also, if the tape extends and adheres to the maximum, the traction force on the skin of the human body increases, and the skin is peeled instead of the rash, and it is dangerous to use the tape at the maximum extension. Therefore, the tape which does not use the maximum elongation of the tape and which nevertheless has a high degree of elasticity is most suitable. Therefore, the multidirectional elastic tape D using urethane is the best.

The conclusions derived from Table 1 are as follows. First, Kinesio Tape B and Elastopore Tape C, which use cloth, have the ability to expand and contract in one direction. As the name suggests, the directional elastic tape E has one elasticity in many directions. Second, the material itself is different from Chemispo Tape D (made of nylon), which has the ability to expand and contract in multiple directions like the multidirectional elastic tape E using a urethane nonwoven fabric. In addition, in the case of Chemispo tape D, unlike tape E using urethane, the elongation varies depending on the direction of elongation, so that the functional balance is poor. Third, depending on the thickness of the tape, depending on whether the frictional resistance value is high or low, it is easy to peel off or hard to peel off. Therefore, except for the tape E using urethane, it is easy to peel off because it is all thick. Fourth, as described in the multi-directional elastic taping theory, when considering the human anatomical function, it is thin, has strong elasticity, and has an even elongation. It can be said that the multidirectional elastic tape E (made of urethane nonwoven fabric) is an ideal tape from the viewpoint of human body structural function.

Embodiment 2 FIG. 1 is a view for explaining an embodiment for pain points. The elastic tapes 10, 11 according to the present invention are applied to the pain points 12, 13 appearing on the body surfaces 14, 15, respectively. There are two ways to stick it: extending from the center of the painful part as shown in Fig. 1 (a) and sticking it around the painful part as shown in Fig. 1 (b). . This is because there are pains coming from the skin or muscle tension appearing on the body surface and pains coming from relaxation (lazyness or dull pain). This resembles the relationship between oriental medicine and phlegm, but "supplement" refers to the use of acupuncture or moxibustion for areas where the skin or muscles are weak and weak. The idea of supplementing it is the opposite of "phletting", which is to reduce overstress.

When a neurological symptom is caused by the excitement of the autonomic nervous system, for example, when an abnormality occurs in the internal organs, the related pain appears on the body surface as internal organ wall reflex (Heab band). There are times when this excitement on the body surface must be suppressed or, conversely, it must be promoted. In addition, it can also suppress or promote pain on the body surface, such as skin and muscle-specific pain.

[0036]

Embodiment 3 FIG. 2 is a view for explaining an embodiment for an internal joint of an ankle, and the order of taping with a taping tape according to the present invention is indicated by the following numbers. By the way, in addition to standing and supporting the human body, the legs perform movements such as walking, running, jumping and kicking. The joint of the foot is a complex articulated body and has three main axes of motion. Ankle movements include dorsiflexion / low flexion exercises performed at the talar joints, varus (adduction, abduction, plantar flexion) and valgus (abduction / turning) performed at the subtalar joint and talar heel boat Inside, dorsiflexion). Sprains of any minor nature are thought to have caused dissection or some other obstacle between the bones that make up the joint. Therefore, it is an important role of the tape function to attract the disjointed joint with the tape having the expansion and contraction function. Applying tape from the skin surface using tape that has elasticity in many directions such as up, down, left, right, and diagonally, affecting muscles, bones (joints), and autonomic nerves and sensory receptors Can be. As shown in the figure, it is a matter of course that a wide tape can be used to cover a part or the whole of the joint so as to keep the joint part.

[0037]

[Embodiment 4] The taping tape according to the present invention can affect the anti-gravity muscle and the body gravity axis, so that the posture balance can be corrected. It can address muscle, soft tissue, autonomic nervous and biomechanical and structural mechanics issues. Considering structural mechanics, in order to move the bone, it is first instructed to stretch or bend at the command of the nerve, and it is transmitted to the muscle and contracted, at which time the contractile muscle and the relaxing muscle antagonize, Bone moves at the beginning of movement. Considering this, it is possible to use the tape by making use of the elasticity of the tape. In other words, it is used for the parts where the burden is placed on the body.

When the taping tape according to the present invention is used for a living body, the stretching force of the tape should not be maximized. If the stretching force is maximized, the skin will be rubbed, causing shock and rash. For example, even if the maximum stress of the taping tape is 420 g / cm, it should not be used to the maximum, but must be dealt with individually according to the strength, symptoms or environment of the skin.

[0039]

[Effects of the Invention] By using the taping tape according to the present invention, the muscle can be balanced when the muscle strength is reduced or nervous for some reason. In addition, when dysfunction occurs due to intra-joint damage and joint movement is abnormal, joint function can be improved, and soft tissues such as ligaments and tendons can be protected from damage and kept at rest. Furthermore, by maintaining the joint function improved by the treatment and keeping it movable, it can be useful for early treatment of the affected area.
