Biomechanical Corrective Insole Concept
Biomechanical Corrective Insole Concept
Development
The development of our sport insoles is the consequential continuation of the implementation of the latest findings from movement analysis. The result is an insole concept suited to biomechanical phases, implemented individually under consideration of the anatomy of the patient and therapeutic measures. The phase-tailored zones of our insoles promote a physiological rolling motion of the foot. This individual care enables the insole to provide optimal cushioning with a simultaneous optimising of positioning and support.
Landing Phase
In the landing phase the contact impact is reduced by the use of a special cushioning material and the heel positioning optimised.
Support phase
Where the entire foot is subject to stress the sport insole provides progressively reinforced support, thus counteracting pronation and valgisation.
Push-off phase
Support in the push-off phase is provided by the integrated pronation wedge in the forefoot area, which provides stable positioning - thus enabling the foot to roll over the first metatarsal without loss of power.
Material characteristics
Development
EVA and special absorbent foams in various Shor strengths are employed to as the elasticity requirements stipulate. Residual and durable elasticity measurements show that this special absorbent foam is far superior to standard PE foam in its technical properties.
Care performance
Basic care
The basis for care is provided by a foot bed that is individually tailored to each patient's requirements, according to the latest standards; with the respective sport-specific characteristics taken into account.
Special features
The foot beds can be fitted with elements that correct and relieve strain upon the lower musculoskeletal system.
The following special features are available:
Reinforced Long Arch
Corrects hyper-pronation in knee complaints, shin splints or severe flat feet. The foot bed may be pared away completely in this area and given a soft bedding.
Forefoot Padding
Relieves pressure in the case of metatarsalgia / splayfoot complaints and M. Köhler II. Highly absorbent materials relieve pressure on the forefoot area.
Toe Padding
Relieves pressure on the final joint of the big toe in the case of Hallux ribidus.
Heel Padding
The foot bed may be pared away in this area and fitted with cushioning material.
Heel cushioning
May be prescribed for calcaneal spurs and Achillodynie. Special cushioning materials minimise impact stress in the hip and spinal column. The also help prevent overloading.
Cuboid elevation
May be prescribed for ligament instability. Reshaping in the cuboid area counteracts instability of the lower ankle joint and distortion tendencies.
Fersennegativführung
May be prescribed for patella tendonitis. It acts as negativisation of the heel recurving on the knee joint.
