ORTHOPEDIC INSOLES FOR PROTECTING SKIN FROM STRETCHING AND CRACKING IN THE AREA OF THE FIVE METATARSAL HEADS OF THE FOREFOOT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005025356
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A specially designed insert for orthopedic insoles and a process for manufacturing said insole, the use of which prevents the foot from bending excessively at the metatarsal joints, thereby protecting the skin in the area of the metatarsal heads of the forefoot on the bottom of the foot and preventing that skin from stretching, cracking or being otherwise damaged. The heel reaches a height (M) along a line between one point (1) and another (J). A step is completed when the user's toes reach the ground (A), with significantly reduced bending of the foot at the area of the five metatarsal heads of the forefoot. Along a line between one point (K) and another pont (L), the foot remains relatively straight throughout the entire process of taking a step. The metatarsal head (E) exhibits minimal bending.
