1. Supporting weight: The feet bear most of the weight of the human body. When we stand and walk, the feet collectively carry the weight of the body through the bones, muscles and ligaments in the plantar.

 

2. Cushion and absorb impact: The bones, joints and soft tissues of the foot (such as muscles and ligaments) during activities such as walking, running and jumping, the foot can reduce the impact force on the body and protect other joints and bones from damage.

 

3. Maintain posture and balance: The elasticity and structure of the arch can adjust the body's center of gravity and make walking more stable.

 

4. Motor control and stability: The muscles and ligaments of the foot control the movement and enable us to achieve accurate gait and posture.

 

Therefore, the health of the foot directly affects the state of the entire body, and will have a significant impact on human health.

 

 

 

 

Common foot problems

 

 

Plantar fasciitis

 

The plantar fascia, also known as the plantar aponeurosis, is a dense fibrous connective tissue that runs from the heel bone to the underside of the toe. The main reason for the formation of plantar fasciitis is chronic inflammation caused by repeated stretching of the plantar fascia for a long time.

 

The most common symptom of plantar fasciitis is heel pain, which is experienced by about one in 10 people aged 40 to 60. The pain is generally located in the front and lower part of the heel and may extend into the arch area. The pain is most obvious in the first step after getting up in the morning or staying still for a period of time, and then gradually decreases with activity, but when the activity is too long or the intensity of the exercise increases, the pain may become worse again. This is mainly because after a night's rest, the plantar fascia is no longer weight-bearing and is in a state of long-term rest, the subtle damage is restored, the connective tissue contracts and the blood circulation changes, which will make the plantar fascia in a relatively shortened and tense state, and when the balance is broken when walking again, it will cause pain.

 

 

 

Hallux valgus

 

Hallux valgus, commonly known as "bigfoot bone" disease, we extend the line on both sides of the prominent part, if the Angle is greater than 15 degrees, it is hallux valgus. It is estimated that 90% of bunions are female. The main effects of bunions include:

 

1. Appearance of the foot: the medial protrusion of the big toe joint, the surface is red and swollen, and there is pain when pressed, which is obvious after wearing shoes; Calluses (callus) appear on the front of the foot, walking pain.

 

2. Limited function: big toe valgus, will constantly squeeze the second toe; Tendon contracture, joint stiffness, forming "hammer toe"; Friction or squeezing while walking may cause pain and discomfort.

 

 

 

 

A collapsed arch leads to flat feet

 

With the growth of age, some people will appear foot muscles, ligaments gradually relax, arch collapse, resulting in flat feet. The performance is low arch, foot valgus, long standing or walking will feel foot fatigue and pain.

 

 

 

Abnormal gait

 

Walking is the most basic form of movement, long-term within the eight-word, eight-word and other wrong gait walking, not only will reduce the child's athletic ability, but also walking pain. Common gait abnormalities also include walking on tiptoe, shuffling, jumping and other abnormal steps.

 

Under the compensatory action of the human body, it will not only cause leg problems, but also cause bone distortion such as the pelvis and spine. Over time, distorted bones press on peripheral nerves and muscles leading to more serious physical problems.

 

 

 

How to customize a pair of correct orthopedic foot pads

 

 

 

If you and your family are suffering from foot disease, in daily life, there are foot, ankle, knee, hip and other pain problems, this may be the body to give you a warning signal, be sure to intervene as soon as possible. To care for your health and the health of your family, you can choose a pair of orthopedic foot pads tailored to improve these conditions, and it may make a difference for you.

 

Orthopedic foot pads are not ordinary insoles

 

Wearing orthopedic foot pads is a very good invisible improvement of common foot problems, and it is a simple and non-invasive auxiliary improvement method. It can effectively help improve foot problems such as flat foot, high arch foot, internal and external slabfigure, walking pain, bunions, etc. It can also be used to relieve foot pain caused by arthritis, nerve damage, musculoskeletal diseases, etc.

 

 

Orthopedic foot pad is not an ordinary insole, its role is much like the role of glasses on the eyes, through the principle of correction to restore the foot to the correct position, in order to adjust the biological force line, reduce joint pressure and reduce sports injuries. "Orthopedic foot pad" is an orthotic aid designed to restore the normal biomechanics of human body according to the anatomical structure of foot and ankle

 

Function principle and characteristics of orthopedic foot pad

 

Corrective foot pads can not only provide sensory and proprioceptive stimulation of the foot skin, but also reduce the burden on the related joints of the foot and ankle, correct the biological force line of the lower limb, improve the balance of the wearer, improve the gait, and then improve the stability of walking.

 

When choosing an orthopedic foot pad, we need to consider the patient's specific symptoms, foot structure, and gait. Different problems may require different types of insoles, so we need to conduct a detailed evaluation and communication to determine the most suitable insoles for their own problems. In general, corrective insoles should have the following characteristics:

 

1. In line with the biomechanical characteristics of their feet;

 

2. Provide appropriate support and shock absorption effect;

 

3. Good air permeability and comfort;

 

4. Able to adjust and adapt to the patient's gait changes.

 

 

 

Orthopedic foot pads need to be customized according to individual data

 

In order to get the best orthopedic foot pad results, we need to customize it to each person's specific situation. The corrective foot pad customized based on individual gait data can design different support points according to the gait data, give correct support to the foot when wearing, readjust the plantar pressure distribution, and make the human body in the correct biological force line state.

 

 

The effect of orthopedic foot pads on children

 

In the child's growth and development stage, the corrective foot pad with customized active training mechanism can play multiple roles:

 

1. Prevent abnormal gait: Corrective foot pads can adjust the biomechanics of the foot, so that the child can maintain a stable posture during daily walking, and help prevent the occurrence of abnormal gait.

 

2. Promote muscle and joint development: Through active training mechanisms, corrective foot pads can stimulate children's muscles, fascia and joints, promote their development and functional improvement, help children to obtain normal physiological arch shape and gait, and establish the correct direction of lower limb force line.

 

3. Improve walking comfort: customized corrective foot pads can be designed according to the child's foot type and needs to provide suitable support and comfort, so that children can walk more comfortable.

 

4. Help children correct foot deformities: Through customized corrective foot pads, you can provide appropriate support and corrective force to help children correct foot deformities, improve scoliosis and other poor posture, and promote normal growth and development.

 

5. Prevent complications: Timely correction of foot deformities and gait abnormalities can prevent the occurrence of complications of other foot diseases and reduce the risk of pain, discomfort and psychological stress in children.

 

The effect of orthopedic foot pads on adults

 

For adults, customized foot pads can be designed to support the foot according to personal data, so that the wearer's plantar pressure points are more evenly distributed, thereby reducing the pressure on the pain area caused by the disease and adjusting the human biological force line. The main benefits are as follows:

 

1. Improve foot comfort: Customized foot pads can be designed according to each person's foot type and needs to provide appropriate support and comfort, helping to improve foot fatigue and discomfort. Cushion the body's pressure on the foot and lower limb joints, improve walking pain, protect native joints, reduce sports injuries, and reduce compensatory damage from existing conditions.

 

2. Improve gait and posture: Customized foot pads can improve gait and posture by adjusting the biomechanics of the foot, making adults walk more naturally and confidently.

 

3. Adjust the risk of sports injuries: For adults who already have sports injuries or foot pain, customized foot pads can provide appropriate support and corrective force, reducing the risk of foot injuries. The self-repair mechanism is used to repair the injured joint, so that the discomfort symptoms of the joint can be relieved, and the wearer can return to normal, comfortable and painless healthy walking
