Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An orthopedic device for correcting malpositions of toes comprises a flexible splint extending along the foot's inner side. A corrective force towards the inner side of the foot can be exerted on the big toe by the flexible splint for medializing the big toe. The corrective force is influenced by the spring stiffness of the flexible splint which is configured as a hinged flexible splint flexible in the flexion or extension direction of the toes and has a hinge mechanism that has a pivot axis that corresponds approximately to the hinge axis of the main big toe. The device has a first annular brace that surrounds the mid-foot on the outside and surrounds the flexible splint and a second annular brace which surrounds the big toe and the flexible splint. A gel cushion connects to that side of the second hinged splint facing towards the foot's inner side.

Abstract: A corrective insole for treating defective positioning in the metatarsal and forefoot areas of the foot which includes an insole including at least two strap mechanisms a toe strap and a metatarsal strap such that the metatarsal strap encircles the metatarsal area of the foot to enable optimum correction of defective positioning associated with conditions such as hallux valgus.

Abstract: The invention concerns an orthopaedic device for the correction of incorrectly positioned toes, having a fastening provision (8a) in the region of the big toe, a fastening provision (8b) in the region of the central foot and a flexible splint (9), extends between the fastening provisions (8a, 8b) along the inner side of the foot, and in which the flexible splint (9) is formed as a hinged splint, articulated in the direction of flexion and extension of the toe or toes.
