AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing orthopedic braces and orthotic solutions fail to effectively replicate the mechanical support and forces of professional taping techniques like the low dye taping method, often lack adjustability to individual anatomical differences, and are not durable or user-friendly for long-term use.

Method used

An orthopedic foot brace with non-stretch cables arranged in a predetermined pattern, interspaced with zones of stretch, a floating arch, and a power strap to exert specific forces, allowing for customizable fit and support that mimics the low dye taping technique.

Benefits of technology

Provides durable, self-adjusting support that replicates the mechanical forces of professional taping, accommodating individual anatomical variations and offering effective treatment for conditions like plantar fasciitis without the need for frequent reapplication or specialized training.
