Abstract
A sock assembly for correcting a deformed toe of a foot of a person, including a sock wearable on an at least a part of the foot, a strap connected to the sock and wearable on an at least a part of the foot and wrappable on an at least a part of the deformed toe as the sock it worn on the foot, consequently applying a corrective force on the deformed toe.
Claims20
A sock assembly (100, 200, 300) for correcting deformed toes (114) of a foot of a person, comprising:
- a sock (102, 202, 302) wearable on at least a part of the foot;
- a strap (104, 204, 304) comprising two ends, said strap connected to the sock and configured to be wearable on at least a part of the foot,
- the sock assembly characterized in that the strap is wrappable directly and independently of any other supplementary extra element on a plurality of deformed toes, at least partially, and further wherein said strap is adapted to cross itself under a foot's metatarsal area following the strap wrapping the deformed toes, said strap further adapted to extend along two sides of the foot towards the Achilles tendon of the person, which is adjacent to a location at which the two ends of the strap meet, thereby applying a corrective force on the plurality of deformed toes.
A sock assembly (100, 200, 300) for correcting deformed toes (114) of a foot of a person, comprising:
- a sock (102, 202, 302) wearable on at least a part of the foot;
- a strap (104, 204, 304) comprising two ends, said strap connected to the sock and configured to be wearable on at least a part of the foot,
- the sock assembly characterized in that the strap is wrappable, directly and independently of any other supplementary extra element, on at least a part of at least one deformed toe as the sock is worn on the foot, and further wherein said strap is adapted to cross itself under a foot's metatarsal area following the strap wrapping the at least one deformed toe, said strap further adapted to extend along two sides of the foot towards the Achilles tendon of the person, which is adjacent to a location at which the two ends of the strap meet, consequently applying a corrective force on the deformed toe, and said sock assembly further characterized in having an at least one pad (110, 112, 118, 210, 212) placeable at the bottom of the sock beneath the foot's metatarsal area to elevate at least one metatarsal thereby complementing and enhancing the force applied by the strap.
