    摘要: An orthopedic insole and a method of manufacturing a convex cushion structure for walking unsteadiness, the convex cushion structure being provided on an upper surface of an insole body. The method includes steps of data collection: measuring plantar static pressure data and plantar dynamic pressure data; data analysis: analyzing the plantar static pressure data and the plantar dynamic pressure data; preparing an insole body; performing insole modeling based on the plantar static pressure data; and importing the plantar dynamic pressure data to manufacture the insole body; partitioning the insole body; preparing the convex cushion structure: determining a shape of the convex cushion structure by using a test result of the dynamic pressure distributions; determining a specific location of the convex cushion structure by using a test result of the gait lines and the gait cycle; and printing the convex cushion structure on the upper surface of the insole body.

    摘要: An adjustable corrective shoe component is provided. The shoe component can be disposed in an inner lining of a shoe. The shoe component may include a shell formed conformal to an interior bottom surface of the shoe and curving upwards at sides of the shoe. The shell may include a forefoot section to accommodate a forefoot area of a foot, a middle section to accommodate a midfoot area of the foot, and a hind section to accommodate a hind area of the foot. The shoe component may include a strap attached to a medial side of the middle section and configured to pull the middle section towards a lateral side of the shoe to cause the middle section to support an arch of the foot.

    摘要: The footwear includes a sole, a plurality of massage units, and a controller. The sole provides a support to the underside of a user's foot when the user is wearing the footwear. The massage units each include a channel, a plunger, a spring, and an actuator. The plunger is disposed within the channel and may slide within it linearly. The plunger has a shaft which terminates in an applicator, the applicator being round and configured to provide pressure to the user's foot. The spring is configured to maintain the plunger within a contact-position when at rest. This contact-position occurs when the plunger is maximally distal to the spring. The actuator is able to draw the plunger against the spring and release the plunger in repetition when energized, enacting a massaging action. The controller is able to selectively engage the actuators.

    摘要: The invention relates a method for manufacturing an orthopaedic insole and to a product thus obtained, the method comprising: a first step (1) of 3D modelling a future insole with a specific geometry and which will ideally be formed by a soft surface (10) and a rigid surface (11); a second step (2) of software treatment for the “flattening” or modelling of the original soft upper part (10), transforming same into a soft surface or element (10a) obtained with its lower surface being completely flat and the relative thicknesses still being maintained; a third step (3) of manufacturing the soft surface (10a) obtained in the second step (2) by means of milling or additive manufacturing techniques; a fourth step (4) of joining the obtained soft surface (10a) to the rigid surface (11), obtaining a sandwich-type insole.

    摘要: A method of forming a castless orthotic for a patient's foot in need thereof. The method comprises preparing an orthotic template for the foot wherein the template extends between a heel end and a toe end. In preparing the template the steps of attaching a three-quarter length or full length upper thermoplastic material to a or three-quarter length lower thermoplastic material, or providing a thermoplastic material having a variable thickness such that said thickness decreases from said heel end to said toe end is provided. Then attaching an outer lower layer to the lower thermoplastic material and attaching an outer upper layer to the upper thermoplastic material, or attaching an outer layer to each face of the variable thickness thermoplastic material and heating the prepared orthotic template for a predetermined period of time at a predetermined temperature to soften the orthotic template. A wrap is then placed on top of the foot foam and the foot of the patient is placed on top of the wrap and foot foam. The patient's foot is lifted and the heated orthotic template is placed on top of the wrap and then placing the patient's foot on top of the heated orthotic template. The wrap is placed about the longitudinal axis of the foot to retain the heated orthotic template intermediate the sole of the foot and the foot foam whereby the sides of the orthotic template are particularly supported by the wrap. The method further includes ensuring the foot is positioned over a cuboid support and a medial longitudinal arch support wherein the cuboid support is disposed on the outside of the bottom of the foot and the cuboid support is moved to push the foot upwardly until a resistance is felt, and where the foot is also positioned over the medial longitudinal arch support which is then pushed and pulled upwardly until the foot is moved into a neutral position or if it is unable to be translated or rotated due to until it reaches its end range of motion. At this time, the heel of the patient's foot is lifted to place their weight substantially on the front of their foot and a coolant is applied to at least the heel end of the orthotic template.

    摘要: A corrective insole having a bottom part including a posterior molded part formed at the position corresponding to the calcaneus, an anterior height part and a skinned part. The anterior height part is formed at a position corresponding to the head of the fifth metatarsal bone. The corrective insole is configured to have a minimal difference in height between the tip and the heel of the corrective insole or the tip is slightly higher than the heel to shift the wearer's body weight to the back when the wearer is in a standing position. The skinned part has a boundary protrusion part, which is formed between the posterior molded part and the anterior height part, configured to shift the wearer's body weight to the outside and scatter the wearer's body weight along the lateral side of the corrective insole.
