What are the functions of orthopedic insoles

The purpose of treatment of foot rheumatoid arthritis is to relieve pain, prevent and correct deformities, and restore and preserve functions. The simple definition of orthopedic insoles is a cushion that can be placed in the shoe to correct and adjust the walking posture. It is designed and developed with longitudinal arch support through the study of plantar biomechanics and foot pathological changes in the body's biological force line. Function mat.

  Orthopedic insoles correct and improve walking gait and posture by supporting the arch of the foot. Redistribute plantar pressure. Orthopedic insoles can be divided into hard support pads, soft support pads and semi-rigid based on their functions and different materials. Orthopedic pads.

The design of the rigid orthopedic pad is mainly to control the function of the foot. Its material texture is mainly made of plastic and carbon fiber, which can be used in various shoes. According to the length of rigid insoles, it is divided into two types: one is full length, that is, from heel to toe; the other is 3/4 length, which is made of different length insoles according to different problems of the foot.

The design of rigid insoles is generally not deformed, in addition, it is not easy to damage due to the choice of materials. The role of hard insoles is to achieve the treatment of foot diseases by controlling the movement of the joints. It mainly controls two joints of the foot, one is the ankle joint. Through the support of the arch, it improves the non-parallel force of the ankle joint, increases its stability, and reduces the trauma of the ankle joint; the other is to control the small joints of the tarsal bone. Motor function, reduce its strain and prevent the occurrence of traumatic inflammation. In addition, sprains and pains of the lower limbs are often caused by the abnormal function of the feet leading to changes in the biological force lines of the lower limbs. In this case, orthopedic insoles can eliminate these symptoms by improving the biological force lines of the lower limbs.

Soft orthopedic pads are usually made of soft, compressible materials, and can adapt to the shape of the foot at any time during activities without causing any pressure on the foot.

Any good soft cushion design can better adapt to the shape of the foot. It can absorb shocks, increase balance, buffer the pressure of weight-bearing, and relieve the pressure caused by strenuous exercise. In addition, it can reduce the concentrated force on a certain point of the sole of the foot. The disadvantage of soft orthopedic pads is that they are easily compressed and deformed and are easily worn out. They must be replaced regularly. Because it can be compressed, it can be applied to all kinds of shoes and provide more space for toes.

Semi-rigid orthopedic pads provide good dynamic balance for the feet during activities and walking. This kind of insole not only has a good arch support function, can make the foot in a normal functional position, so that the muscles and tendons can better play their sports role, but also can adapt to the shape of the foot well without causing any damage to the foot. pressure. This kind of semi-rigid orthopedic insole not only has certain functionality, but also has a good protective effect on the feet.
