Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an orthotic insert, and relates particularly, but not exclusively, to an orthotic insert for supporting a foot of a user.
  • Orthotic inserts for supporting a foot of a user to correct the user's gait comprise a body of suitable material such as a flexible plastics material for providing support to selected parts of a user's foot such as arches, and a heel portion of a different, stronger plastics material, which is bonded to the body for supporting the user's weight through the user's heel.
  • the orthotic insert is then placed inside a user's shoe to provide suitable support in correcting gait of a user.
  • Preferred embodiments of the present invention seek to overcome one or more of the above disadvantages of the prior art.
  • an orthotic insert comprising:
  • At least one said first and/or second layer may be formed by vacuum forming.
  • At least one said insert member may be formed by an additive manufacturing process.
  • At least one said insert member may be adapted to affect the flexibility of the orthotic insert.
  • At least one said first and/or second layer may contain at least one composite material.
  • At least one said first and/or second layer may contain fibres.
  • At least one said first and/or second layer may contain carbon fibres and/or glass and/or polyester and/or wood fibres and/or aramid fibres.
  • At least one said insert member may be formed of a second material, different from said first material.
  • an orthotic insert comprising:
  • At least one said first and/or second layer may contain carbon fibres.
  • At least one said insert member may be formed of a second material different from said first material.
  • the orthotic insert may be adapted to support at least part of a foot of a user.
  • At least one said insert member may be adapted to support at least part of a foot of a user.
  • an orthotic insert 2 for insertion into a shoe of a user for supporting a foot of the user has a body formed from an upper layer 4 and a lower layer 6 having a hollow weight bearing insert member 8 formed by an additive manufacturing process such as fused deposition modelling, selective laser sintering, stereolithography or polyjet printing located between the upper 4 and lower 6 layers.
  • a former body (not shown) is made from a digital scan of a user's foot, and corrections are made to the former to provide the necessary foot support to correct the user's gait.
  • the lower layer 6 is then formed by adding layers of composite material containing carbon fibres, and when enough layers of composite material have been added to form the lower layer 6, the insert member 8 is located in position on the lower layer 6.
  • the upper layer 4 is then formed by adding layers of composite material containing carbon fibres until enough layers have been added to form the upper layer 4.
  • the upper 4 and lower 6 layers are then vacuum formed on the former body to take their desired shape, and the first 4 and second 6 layers are then bonded together at respective end regions thereof by means of a suitable adhesive and encased in epoxy resin.
  • the insert member 8 is located to support a heel of the user, but does not form part of the external surface of the orthotic insert.
  • an insert member 10 of a second embodiment of the present invention has a protrusion 12 extending therefrom which engages the upper 4 and/or lower 6 body layer of the insert 2 in use and thereby influences the flexibility of the orthotic insert 2 as a whole.
