[0014] (1) The first ankle-foot orthosis body, the second ankle-foot orthosis body, the arch orthotic insole, the Achilles tendon slot and the calf slot are fixed together on the outside of the first ankle-foot orthosis body and the second ankle-foot orthosis body. An open area is designed on the back of the calf and the Achilles tendon. The normal function of the joint is fixed by the calf slot and the Achilles tendon slot. By keeping the ankle joint in a neutral position, the ligaments are prevented from being loosened after abnormal stretching. It assists in standing and walking, corrects deformities, affects muscle tone, and pulls the tendon for a long time to resist muscle contracture. It helps to correct deformities and maintain normal alignment. For patients with insufficient muscle strength, the ankle-foot orthosis can provide additional support to help them carry out daily activities. It provides various correction and fixation functions. At the same time, it can be used with the arch orthotic insole to complete the correction of flat feet and achieve multi-functionality.

[0015] (2) By setting up ventilation holes, adhesive outer layer and limiting inner groove, the arch orthotic insole is inserted and fixed in the limiting inner groove by using the interlocking structure, and multiple sets of adhesive outer layer are used to enhance the connection force, ensuring that the arch orthotic insole will not loosen or even fall off during use. The base provides it with a fully enclosed space to ensure comfort. At the same time, multiple sets of ventilation holes are opened to provide sufficient ventilation protection for both sides of the arch orthotic insole.

[0016] (3) By setting up an orthotic insole, cushioning pads and placement grooves, several sets of cushioning pads are fixedly installed in the corresponding placement grooves to provide strong support and protection for the bottom of the orthotic insole, play a shock-absorbing and comfortable role for the sole of the foot, increase the patient's comfort, and at the same time provide safety protection to avoid foot discomfort caused by excessive hardness of the base during use.
