    摘要: A sole includes a midsole. The midsole includes: a first support portion that is configured to support a front portion of an MP joint of a wearer's foot; and a second support portion that is configured to support a rear portion of the MP joint of the wearer's foot, the second support portion having a shape extending rearward from the first support portion in a foot length direction. The first support portion has an elastic modulus lower than an elastic modulus of the second support portion. The midsole includes a thenar region surrounded by a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, and a fourth portion. A boundary portion between the first support portion and the second support portion passes through the thenar region.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed including a tri-layer orthotic system having a heel portion and a forefoot portion to support respective heel and forefoot portions of a foot through at least a portion of a gait cycle. The tri-layer orthotic system can include an upper layer suspended over a mid-layer and a base layer to create a rear spring section, a mid-spring section, and a front spring section. A distal toe portion of the mid-layer can form the forefoot portion of the tri-layer orthotic system and a heel upper layer portion of the upper layer can form the heel portion of tri-layer orthotic system.

    摘要: [Problem] To provide a shoe insole that can inherently maintain appropriate meshing with foot joints at a high level. [Solution] A sheet section, disposed on the entire base of a shoe, and a support plate, formed from a material harder than the sheet section are provided. The sheet section and the support plate each comprises an inner curved surface section, curved in an arch shape with an end section standing upward, an outer wall section, curved in an arch shape, with an end section standing upward, and a central wall section, formed between the inner wall section and the outer wall section. The support plate comprises an inner ridge section, formed on the boundary between the inner wall section and the central wall section, and an outer ridge section, formed on the boundary between the outer wall section and the central wall section. A plurality of through-holes, arranged in the longitudinal direction of the support plate, are formed in the inner wall section and the outer wall section of the support plate. At least an upper surface of the central wall section located between the inner ridge section and the outer ridge section is curved so as to draw an arch in the longitudinal direction of the support plate.

    摘要: Unique pads, called cuboid lifts, cuboid inserts, or balance-enhancing textured insoles, prevent falls and improve balance by producing site-specific stimulation of different types of cutaneous receptors located along the outer sides of the foot. These cutaneous receptors play a key role in maintaining balance. The outer placement also makes them important in preventing lateral falls, which are far and away the most likely to result in injury. Domes on the upper side of the cuboid inserts increase feedback from the cutaneous receptors as the center of pressure of the person wearing the cuboid inserts moves too far to the outer side of the midfoot. These cuboid inserts are also helpful when managing ankle sprains, as this common injury frequently results in impaired balance.
