A custom-made ankle/foot orthosis for the treatment of patients having plantar ulcers is disclosed, which comprises a rigid L-shaped support member and a rigid anterior support shell hingedly articulated to the L-shaped support member. The plantar portion of the L-shaped member further comprises at least one ulcer-protecting hollow spatially located for fitted placement in inferior adjacency to a user's plantar ulcer, thus allowing the user to transfer the user's weight away from the plantar ulcer and facilitating plantar ulcer treatment. The anterior support shell is designed for lateral hinged attachment to the L-shaped member to take advantage of medial tibial flare structure for enhancing the weight-bearing properties of the disclosed orthosis. A flexible, polyethylene hinge member hingedly attaches the anterior support shell to the L-shaped member and securing straps securely attach the anterior support shell in fixed, weight-bearing relation about the proximal, anterior portion of the user's lower leg.

A shoe includes an upper part, an outer sole, an inner sole configured between the upper part and the outer sole and abutting the outer sole, and a pad having a tear drop shape. The pad is configured between the outer sole and the inner sole to prevent the foot from forwardly slipping. The pad includes a first longitudinal end part having a first width and a first height, and a second longitudinal end part having a second width and a second height. The second longitudinal end part is configured opposite to the first longitudinal end part. The first longitudinal end part is closer to the medial side than the second longitudinal end part. The pad includes a middle part connecting the first and second longitudinal end parts. The first width is larger than the second width, and the first height is larger than the second height.

The device comprises a foot supporting plate, wherein a calf supporting plate, which is vertically arranged, is arranged at one end of the foot supporting plate; a heel airbag and a forefoot airbag are arranged on the upper surface of the foot supporting plate; a heel film pressure sensor is arranged on the heel airbag; a forefoot film pressure sensor is arranged on the forefoot airbag; calf fixing belts are arranged on the inner side of the calf supporting plate; a functional assembly module connected with the forefoot film pressure sensor and the heel film pressure sensor is arranged on the outer side of the calf supporting plate; and a foot deformity auxiliary correction processing module is connected to the functional assembly module. The device has the characteristics of diversified correction modes and accurate correction intensity.

The invention discloses equipment for diabetic foot nursing. The equipment comprises a box body, an operation cavity, an electric heater, a working cavity, a heating cavity and foot containing grooves, wherein the operation cavity is arranged in the box body; an electric heating pipe of the electric heater extends into a heating cavity arranged in the box body below the working cavity; the bottomof the working cavity is evenly provided with two foot containing grooves; the bottom of the working cavity on one side of each foot containing cavity is provided with a first fixing bar and a secondfixing bar; the first fixing bar and the second fixing bar are movably connected with fixing blocks arranged on the bottom of the working cavity; the first fixing bar is movably connected with the second fixing bar through a clamping stripe. Through the arrangement of the fixing bars, the equipment can be mutually cooperated with toe fixing sleeves, so that the equipment has a foot deformity correction effect, the disease of the patient can be effectively alleviated, and severe deformity that toes are overlapped and cross is avoided.

The invention discloses a diabetic foot protection shoes adapting method and system. The method comprises the steps that the degree of peripheral neuropathy of the diabetic foot of a subject is determined according to a diabetic foot Michigan score table; according to the degree of peripheral neuropathy of the diabetic foot, a first score is determined; a static foot image of the subject is acquired; the ratio of the footprint width of a lumbar region to the width of the footprint of a forefoot in the static foot image is acquired; a second score is determined according to the ratio; the solepressure peak of the subject is acquired; and a third score is determined according to the sole pressure peak. The method or system comprehensively considers three main factors determining the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers, namely foot peripheral neuropathy, foot deformity and foot pressure distribution, and acquires the total score of three factors. Based on the corresponding relationship between the diabetic foot level and the key parameters of protection shoes, accurate adaptation of the diabetic foot protection shoes is realized.

The invention discloses a shock absorbing part and footwear provided with the same. The shock absorbing part comprises an outer cylinder detachably mounted on the footwear, wherein the outer cylinder has a regular state when the footwear is not stressed and a deformation state when the footwear is stressed. The shock absorbing part can provide different shock absorption performance and shock absorption experience degrees for users with different weights or users requiring special purposes for relieving foot deformity and the like, and the individual matching capacity of the shock absorption effect is higher.

The invention discloses a customization method and system for a 3D printing insole. The method comprises the follwoing steps that foot data is read, and the foot data is classified; a preset corresponding foot arch pad mold is selected according to the type of the foot data; a foot optimization model is constructed; the foot arch pad mold is adjusted; 3D printing is performed according to the adjusted foot arch pad mold to obtain a foot arch pad finished product; and the foot arch pad finished product is obtained by assembling the finished insole. According to foot features of each patient, insole data design is automatically formed through a digitized intelligent matching technology, finally, the insole is produced and manufactured through a 3D printing technology, foot deformity is corrected to a certain extent, the pressure distribution of the sole is improved, the inward and outward turning degree of an ankle joint is relieved, the force line is corrected, and therefore the gait features are improved.

A supporting pair of socks for disorders caused by foot deformities is provided that can be worn on daily basis and it allows comforting of foot in case of flatfoot and hallux valgus disorder.

The invention discloses a mechanics moulding tool for a foot orthotics shoe pad, allows children with foot deformity or improper walking postures to rectify walking postures, thus allowing bones of the children to grow normal; the shoe pad moulding tool upper portion is spliced by practical seamless hexagonal prisms, the lower portion employs a memory material, and foot mechanics distribution layout can be realized according to children foot deformity, thus mapping the shoe pad shape onto the memory material; the moulding tool uses 3d printing technology to make shoe pads that suit the children with foot deformities, thus allowing them to walk in normal postures in daily walking, and enabling the bones to grow normal. The technology also suits for adults, and can be applied in personal customization, thus making more comfortable daily wearing footwear.

The invention relates to an orthopedic shoe with a changeable insole structure, which comprises an insole and a shank arranged in the insole, the insole comprises a cavity, and the shank can move in the cavity, so that the shank can adjust the position relative to the insole to be matched with a target plantar structure. In some specific orthopedic shoes, foot deformity needs to be corrected by changing the position of the hook core or prolonging the length of the hook core, and the foot sole orthopedic requirements can be met by adjusting the position of the hook core.
