[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, it is a foot pain therapy insole provided by the present invention, the foot pain therapy insole comprises an insole body 10 and a pressure gasket group 20, the pressure gasket group 20 comprises a plurality of pressure gaskets, a plurality of pre-bonding areas 11 are arranged on the bottom surface of the insole body 10, and more than one of the plurality of pressure gaskets is bonded to the corresponding pre-bonding area 11. In addition, if the thickness is not enough, more than two layers of pressure gaskets can be bonded to the same pre-bonding area 11 according to the requirements.

[0029] In this embodiment, the pressure pad group 20 includes a transverse arch pressure pad 21, a forefoot pressure pad 22, an arch pressure pad 23 and a heel pressure pad 24; the transverse arch pressure pad 21 is roughly triangular in shape, and is provided with a plurality of first cutting lines 211 which are gradually reduced from the outside to the inside and are arranged in an annular shape; the transverse arch pressure pad 21 is attached to the middle of the forefoot area of ​​the insole body 10. The forefoot pressure pad 22 is rectangular in shape, and is provided with a plurality of second cutting lines 221 which are arranged in parallel on its outer edge; the forefoot pressure pad 22 is attached to the forefoot area of ​​the insole body 10 and is located at the rear side of the transverse arch pressure pad 21; the outer side surface of the forefoot pressure pad 22 is flush with the inner side edge of the insole body 10.

[0030] The arch pressure pad 23 is arranged in an irregular crescent shape, and the arc side of the arch pressure pad 23 is provided with a plurality of third cutting lines 231 which gradually decrease from the outside to the inside; the arch pressure pad 23 is fitted to the foot position at the bottom of the insole body 10. The heel pressure pad 24 includes an inner pad 241 and an outer pad 242, and the arc sides of the inner pad 241 and the outer pad 242 are provided with a fourth cutting line 243. When in actual use, each pressure pad can be cut along the cutting line according to the size of actual needs to fit the pressure pad of the appropriate size; it has high flexibility. In addition, the pressure pad in this embodiment is a basic thickness pad. When the thickness is not enough, multiple pressure pads can be stacked and fitted.

[0031] The present invention also provides a method for personalized customization of a foot pain therapy insole, and the personalized customization method of the foot pain therapy insole specifically comprises the following steps:

[0032] Step 1: Information collection;

[0033] Collect basic information about the person who needs customization: such as age, height, weight, shoe wearing habits, exercise habits, treatment history, duration of pain; and the person's demands.

[0034] Step 2: Static detection

[0035] 1) Detect the force line of the lower limbs when standing; the force line of the lower limbs is normally straight, but if the arch of the foot collapses, the force line of the lower limbs will shift, resulting in an imbalance in the force of the bones and muscles, which will cause posture and pain problems over time. For problems caused by unbalanced force lines, changing the balance of force lines through personalized insoles can improve the oppressive pain problem.

[0036] 2) Check the collapse of the arch to determine whether it is flat foot or high arch foot; if it is flat foot eversion, the pressure on the inside is high; if it is high arch foot eversion, the force on the outside is high;

[0037] Check whether there is hallux valgus. Hallux valgus is an important cause of abnormal force during walking. Generally, patients with hallux valgus will have collapsed medial arch or transverse arch.

[0038] 3) Check the leg shape. Check the leg shape through the knee joint and leg force line to determine the degree of influence of the ankle on the foot shape, such as XO-shaped legs and knee hyperextension. During the test, the ankle repeatedly makes inward and outward eversion movements to observe the changes in the leg shape. Once the arch of the foot collapses, the impact between the sole of the foot and the ground cannot be well released and distributed, which can easily lead to inversion of the foot and "X"-shaped walking. If the arch of one foot collapses, it may cause scoliosis, uneven shoulders, and it is particularly easy to twist the foot during exercise.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first implementation method adopted for the detection is to use a foot mirror detector 30 to detect the sole of the foot. The foot mirror detector 30 includes a transparent upper frame 31, a lens 32 arranged at the bottom of the upper frame 31, and an LED light 33 arranged in the upper frame. The upper frame 31 includes a transparent top plate 311 and two oppositely arranged side plates 312 arranged at the bottom thereof, and the lens 32 and the top plate 311 are arranged oppositely with an upper and lower interval, and the reflective surface of the lens 32 is arranged corresponding to the top plate 311; the LED light 312 is arranged vertically on the side plate 312. In this embodiment, the top plate 311 and the side plate 312 are both transparent acrylic plates. The light color of the LED light 33 is colorful, and the best light color of the LED light 33 is fluorescent green. When in use, the person being tested stands on the top plate, and the shape of the sole of the foot is reflected on the top surface of the lens; due to the distance difference between the sole of the foot and the lens 32, the shape of the sole of the foot can be viewed intuitively; it is also convenient to take a footprint map. Moreover, this real-time and intuitive footprint map is more intuitive and accurate than the traditional footprint map formed by thermal sensing, and will not have any errors due to sensing sensitivity.

[0040] The force line morphology of the lower limbs and hallux valgus are marked with a marking pen to improve the intuitiveness of identification. The inclination can also be measured with the assistance of a ruler. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the foot mirror detector also includes a discrimination analysis APP, which can be installed on a mobile phone or other control terminal. The discrimination analysis APP is provided with a database and an upload module. Consumers can upload pictures of footprints on the lens through the APP, and the mini program can analyze and identify the collapse of the foot. In addition, pictures of the foot force line and hallux valgus can also be uploaded for judgment and analysis.

[0041] This embodiment has the advantages of low cost and high implementation flexibility. It can be used in small insole sales stores or even by individuals. Consumers can make real-time adjustments based on their own conditions. If the symptoms are alleviated after trying on the insoles for a period of time, the insoles can be increased or decreased in real time based on the detection results. The operation is convenient and easy to implement.

[0042] In addition, it is understandable that static detection can also be performed using a fully automatic foot-shaped laser 3D scanner for scanning detection, which is an existing device; however, this type of detection equipment is expensive, and its application flexibility and suitability for promotion are slightly poor.

[0043] Step three: Dynamic testing: Through dynamic testing, we can understand the patient's gait and body compensation, such as uneven shoulders, X-shaped and O-shaped legs, etc.

[0044] Furthermore, a walking instrument can be provided, and the gait of a person walking or jogging on the walking instrument can be analyzed through dynamic observation and slow motion playback of video. In this embodiment, the walking instrument is a treadmill. The person being tested walks on the walking instrument, and the gait and gait changes within the set time are detected. Different speeds can also be adjusted according to needs to detect the force, gait, etc. of the lower limbs of the test person within the set time and at different speeds.

[0045] Furthermore, in other embodiments, in order to improve the detection accuracy, the gait video can also be uploaded to the database, and the detection information can be compared with the standard; thereby comparing the gait and abnormal changes of the person being tested in dynamic conditions. The above information is saved to facilitate the subsequent re-examination to clarify the changes in each stage. It can be understood that the gait video can be uploaded to the analysis APP in step 2 to determine the dynamic walking posture, whether there are problems such as uneven shoulders and X-shaped legs.

[0046] Step 4, cutting patches; combined with the symptom information of step 1, the static arch condition of step 2, and the dynamic gait condition of step 3, the patch position is confirmed after comprehensive evaluation, and the patch is customized for the insole. Specifically, if the arch collapses and the heel is everted at a small angle, the arch pressure pad 23 is affixed to the corresponding area of ​​the insole body 10. If the heel is everted more than 10 degrees, the medial pad 241 is affixed to the corresponding area. If you walk with your feet turned outward or have severe flat feet, a forefoot pressure pad 22 is affixed to the forefoot area. If the inversion angle exceeds 8 degrees, a transverse arch pressure pad 21 is affixed to the corresponding position. If the pressure pad is too large, cut it to the appropriate size along the cutting line and then fit it. If the thickness is not enough, an additional pressure pad is stacked on the outside of the pressure pad. The thickness of the patch is increased or decreased depending on the severity of the abnormality detected. For example, if the arch collapse is very severe, the thickness of the pressure pad that needs to be increased will be greater; correspondingly, if the collapse is mild, the required thickness will be thinner.

[0047] Step 5: Try on the insole after the patch is applied. Then collect dynamic walking pain feedback information, detect O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, and high and low shoulders, and compare the test items before and after the try-on to get the situation after the force line balance is changed through the personalized insole. The thickness of the pressure pad can also be adjusted appropriately according to the detection structure. For example: leg shape problems and high and low shoulder problems caused by foot problems have improved after trying on, but there is still room for further improvement. The pressure pad can be thickened and evaluated again.

[0048] In summary, the personalized customization method of the foot pain physiotherapy insole of the present invention uses simple static and dynamic detection and evaluation, and through physiotherapy insoles and pressure pads, it can achieve targeted personalized customization of insoles for the mechanical balance of the foot, which can improve wearing comfort and have better physiotherapy effects. This customization method detects the patient's plantar pressure and gait, so that when the patient is standing and walking, the insole support and pressure pads assist in changing the ground reaction force acting on the foot, thereby achieving the mechanical balance of the human foot and reducing sports injuries and pain. The pressure pad can also suppress the impact force related to the gait to adjust the gait and improve comfort. The practicality of the present invention is strong and has a strong promotional significance.

[0049] The above-mentioned embodiment only expresses one implementation mode of the present invention, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
