Definitions
- the present invention relates to an orthopedic shoe insole with a base body forming a contact surface for the foot in the shoe and at least two pressure modulators connected to the base body.
- Such a shoe insert is sold, for example, as the igli Allround by the company medi at https://www.medi.de .
- This previously known shoe insole has a basic body that can completely accommodate the foot in the shoe and support it at least vertically.
- the base body consists of several layers, each of which is planar and glued together.
- the carbon insert gives the body a certain rigidity.
- pressure modulators which are also referred to as pads, are usually detachably connected to the base body.
- a first and second pressure modulator are usually located in the rear area of the insole.
- the first pressure modulator is located in the area of the longitudinal arch and acts on the musculus flexor digitorum longus as well as on the musculus tibialis posterior and the flexor hallucis longus .
- the second pressure modulator is located between the heel bone and the metatarsal bone and stabilizes the heel and prevents it from tipping outwards. Accordingly, the second pressure modulator is located more at the rear end of the shoe insole in the longitudinal direction.
- a third pressure modulator can be provided, which is usually located just behind the metatarsophalangeal joint of the small toe and pronates the forefoot.
- the present invention is also based on the spiral dynamic effect of the individual pressure modulators. She makes use of it.
- the pressure modulators are glued to the underside of the base body or connected to the base body via Velcro fasteners, one partner of the Velcro fastener is connected to the base body and the other partner of the Velcro connection with the pressure modulators.
- the disadvantage of soft footwear is that the pressure modulators press into the sole of the shoe, which reduces the function of the insole.
- the present invention proposes an orthopedic shoe insert with the features of claim 1.
- the base body is a three-dimensional molded body.
- the three-dimensional shaped body has varying thicknesses in sectional views through the shaped body. Such varying thicknesses are not to be found in the prior art, in which the base body can consist of flat layers that are glued or otherwise connected to one another. The individual layers have a three-dimensional curved shape.
- the base body is not a three-dimensional solid body in the sense that sectional views through the base body have different material thicknesses.
- the three-dimensional shaped body can be formed of a foamed polyurethane or the like. It has a hardness of between 10 and 65 Shore-A, in particular between 20 and 30 Shore-A.
- the pressure modulators are materially connected to the base body. According to the invention, the pressure modulators are each located in a recess formed through the base body. This recess clearly specifies the position of the pressure modulators relative to the base body. When using the orthopedic shoe insert, the pressure modulators cannot migrate relative to the main body or be displaced in any other way.
- Integrating the pressure modulators into the three-dimensional molded body effectively changes the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the pressure modulators can act directly at the specified points without any support frame. This prevents static effects on the foot/muscles.
- the foot is usually fully supported by the shoe insert.
- the base body has a three-dimensional contact surface for the foot that corresponds to the physiological arch of the foot. Accordingly, the base body usually completely covers the foot on the underside.
- the base body can have a heel border and accordingly be pulled up completely or partially around the circumference of the foot. However, such a heel border can also be absent.
- the base body is usually designed in such a way that it rests essentially over its entire surface on the shoe in which the shoe insert is inserted.
- the at least one pressure modulator is preferably designed to end flush with an underside of the base body. In this way, an even load distribution of the weight transmitted by the foot is guaranteed, while the stimulating effect of the pressure modulators is retained.
- the insole is not pressed into the shoe in the area of the pressure modulators.
- the pressure modulators can have a round or non-round, preferably rhombic, base. In a cross-section in elevation, i.e. in the vertical direction, the pressure modulators are usually tapered. They usually end in a single highest point in the height direction, which in particular stimulates the overlying ligaments and thus the sensorimotor muscles and counteracts a malposition of the foot and thus the supporting and musculoskeletal system of the human body.
- the pressure modulators are usually much harder than the base body.
- the hardness of the pressure modulators is usually between 70 and 85 Shore-A, in particular between 70 and 80 Shore-A.
- the pressure modulators and the base body are preferably bonded or made of the same material together and formed as a single body.
- the pressure modulators can be formed from polyurethane.
- the polyurethane forming the pressure modulators usually has a greater density than the polyurethane forming the base body. Compared to the polyurethane of the pressure modulators, this can be shaped more like a foam.
- the pressure modulators can be connected to the base body by overmolding. Two different types of production are conceivable.
- the pressure modulators are preferred first manufactured and positioned in an injection mold so that when the material forming the base body is subsequently injected into the injection mold, the material forming the base body flows around the pressure modulators and is bonded to this material.
- the pressure modulators can have undercuts or openings into which the molten plastic that forms the base body can penetrate during injection molding of the base body.
- the base body with the respective recesses for the pressure modulators is formed first.
- the pressure modulators are introduced in molten form by injection molding into the corresponding recesses.
- a better mechanical attachment of the pressure modulators to the base body can be achieved, e.g.
- a sensorimotor orthopedic shoe insole is specified in which a large-area frame construction, which is pushed upwards by pressure modulators, is omitted and static effects are avoided.
- the pressure modulators are designed in such a way that they have a sensomotoric effect.
- Integrating the pressure modulators into the three-dimensional base body also prevents sinking into a soft shoe.
- the function of the pressure modulators in the newly developed insole takes place immediately, since a second component does not have to be moved first.
- foot malpositions can be corrected dynamically, in particular malpositions of the foot and leg axes and pelvic malpositions can be corrected. It stabilizes and corrects posture and stimulates and activates muscle groups that help correct misalignments.
- the performance of the support and musculoskeletal system and the coordination are improved by the orthopedic shoe insert according to the invention.
- the orthopedic shoe insert according to the invention relieves stress the joints, tendons and ligaments and cushions and reduces the impact forces. This minimizes discomfort and promotes blood circulation.
- figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an orthopedic shoe insert for a right foot in rear view, comprising a base body 1, which is a three-dimensional molded body and has varying thicknesses in a sectional view through the molded body.
- the base body 1 has a three-dimensional contact surface 2 for the foot, which corresponds to the physiological arch of the foot, an outer surface 3 and an underside 4 .
- the base body 1 also has a heel border 5 which extends partially around the heel of the foot.
- the base body 1 On the underside 4, the base body 1 has a first pressure modulator 6 on the medial side and a second pressure modulator 7 on the lateral side.
- Both pressure modulators 6, 7 are in a cross-section in height view, ie, tapered in the vertical direction and each end in a highest point 6a, 7a, in the Figures 5 and 6 lie on the dashed outer contour of the pressure modulators 6, 7 and within the base body 1. To this In this way, the overlying musculature is stimulated and a malposition of the foot and thus the supporting and musculoskeletal system of the human body is counteracted.
- FIG. 2 shows the orthopedic shoe insert for the right foot schematically in front view.
- the orthopedic shoe insert comprises the base body 1, which comprises the three-dimensional support surface 2 for the foot and the underside 4, which corresponds to the physiological arch of the foot.
- the three-dimensional support surface 2 has a different profile along the anatomical longitudinal axis of the foot, which profile is adapted to the foot.
- the three-dimensional bearing surface 2 usually completely covers the foot on the underside.
- FIG 3 shows a schematic representation of the orthopedic shoe insole for the right foot viewed from below, the underside 4 of the base body 1 revealing the base areas of the pressure modulators 6, 7.
- the first pressure modulator 6 has a base area in the form of a circle which ends in a chord approximately halfway up the radius, the straight side formed thereby being arranged outwards in the medial direction.
- the second pressure modulator 7 has a round base area in the form of a circle.
- the underside 4 has a first Velcro surface 8 on the lateral side in the form of an octagon and a second Velcro surface 9 in the center of the underside 4 in the form of a circle, which are designed for attaching additional pressure modulators.
- the two pressure modulators 6, 7 and the two Velcro surfaces 8, 9 are offset in the direction of the anatomical longitudinal axis of the foot.
- figure 4 shows a schematic representation of the orthopedic shoe insert for the right foot in a view from above, with the position of the two pressure modulators 6, 7 and the two Velcro surfaces 8, 9 being drawn in schematically.
- the position of the pressure modulators 6, 7 in relation to the three-dimensional support surface 2 for the foot is important since the overlying musculature is stimulated and counteracts a malposition of the foot and thus of the supporting and musculoskeletal system of the human body.
- figure 5 shows a schematic representation of the orthopedic shoe insert for the right foot in a medial view, the base body 1 comprising a three-dimensional support surface 2 , an outer surface 3 and a bottom 4 .
- the base body 1 is thicker in the area of the tarsus than in the area of the forefoot. In the area of the metatarsus, the thickness of the base body 1 decreases on the medial side in the direction of the forefoot in the form of a curved, tapering heel border 5, so that the outer surface 3 also becomes narrower with decreasing thickness in the vertical direction.
- the first pressure modulator 6 is arranged in the area of the tarsus, with the base area of the first pressure modulator 6 being approximately flush with the underside 4 of the base body 1 completes.
- the first pressure modulator 6 is tapered in the vertical direction and ends in a highest point 6a.
- figure 6 shows a schematic representation of the orthopedic shoe insert for the right foot in a lateral view.
- the thickness of the base body 1 decreases on the lateral side in the direction of the forefoot in the form of a curved, tapering heel border 5, so that the outer surface 3 becomes narrower with decreasing thickness in the vertical direction.
- the second pressure modulator 7 is arranged in the area of the tarsus, with the base area of the second pressure modulator 7 terminating flush with the underside 4 of the base body 1 .
- the second pressure modulator 7 is tapered in the vertical direction and ends in a highest point 7a.
- a flush arrangement of the pressure modulator 7 in relation to the underside 4 of the base body is already achieved when at least 70% of the outer peripheral surface of the second pressure modulator 7 is arranged flush with the underside 4 of the base body.
- a hook-and-loop fastener element can be provided on the outer surface of the pressure modulator, which extends essentially parallel to the underside 4 of the base body 1, with which an increase in the respective pressure modulator is possible in order to achieve a stronger effect of the modulator.
- at least one of the two pressure modulators 6 and 7 is detachably connected to an attachment to increase the modulation effect.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine orthopädische Schuheinlage mit einem eine Auflagefläche für den in dem Schuh befindlichen Fuß bildenden Grundkörper und zumindest zwei mit dem Grundkörper verbundene Druckmodulatoren.The present invention relates to an orthopedic shoe insole with a base body forming a contact surface for the foot in the shoe and at least two pressure modulators connected to the base body.
Eine solche Schuheinlage wird beispielsweise als igli Allround von der Firma medi unter https://www.medi.de vertrieben. Diese vorbekannte Schuheinlage hat einen Grundköper, der den in dem Schuh befindlichen Fuß vollständig aufnehmen und diesen zumindest vertikal abstützen kann. Der Grundkörper besteht aus mehreren jeweils für sich planaren Schichten, die miteinander verklebt sind. An der Unterseite des Grundkörpers befindet sich eine Carbon-Einlage. Die Carbon-Einlage verleiht dem Grundkörper eine gewisse Steifigkeit. An der dem Fuß abgewandten Seite sind Druckmodulatoren, die auch als Pelotten bezeichnet werden, üblicherweise lösbar mit dem Grundkörper verbunden.Such a shoe insert is sold, for example, as the igli Allround by the company medi at https://www.medi.de . This previously known shoe insole has a basic body that can completely accommodate the foot in the shoe and support it at least vertically. The base body consists of several layers, each of which is planar and glued together. There is a carbon insert on the underside of the base body. The carbon insert gives the body a certain rigidity. On the side facing away from the foot, pressure modulators, which are also referred to as pads, are usually detachably connected to the base body.
Orthopädische Schuheinlagen der eingangs genannten Art dienen der Korrektur von Fehlstellungen insbesondere Knöchel/Knie/Hüftachse mit Auswirkung auf Hüfte und Wirbelsäule. Im hinteren Bereich der Schuheinlage befinden sich üblicherweise ein erster und zweiter Druckmodulator. Der erste Druckmodulator befindet sich wie auch bei der Erfindung im Bereich des Längsgewölbes und wirkt auf den Musculus flexor digitorum longus sowie auf den Muskulus tibialis posterior und den flexor hallucis longus. Der zweite Druckmodulator befindet sich zwischen dem Fersenbein und dem Mittelfußknochen und stabilisiert die Ferse und verhindert deren Kippen nach außen. Der zweite Druckmodulator sitzt dementsprechend in Längsrichtung mehr am hinteren Ende der Schuheinlage. Sie kompensiert ein Stück der Sub-Pronierung, die durch den ersten Druckmodulator bewirkt wird. Bei dem Stand der Technik wie auch bei der Erfindung kann ein dritter Druckmodulator vorgesehen sein, die sich üblicherweise kurz hinter dem Kleinzehen-Grundgelenk befindet und den Vorfuß proniert.Orthopedic shoe inserts of the type mentioned above are used to correct misalignments, particularly in the ankle/knee/hip axis with an effect on the hip and spine. A first and second pressure modulator are usually located in the rear area of the insole. As in the invention, the first pressure modulator is located in the area of the longitudinal arch and acts on the musculus flexor digitorum longus as well as on the musculus tibialis posterior and the flexor hallucis longus . The second pressure modulator is located between the heel bone and the metatarsal bone and stabilizes the heel and prevents it from tipping outwards. Accordingly, the second pressure modulator is located more at the rear end of the shoe insole in the longitudinal direction. It compensates for some of the sub-pronation caused by the first pressure modulator. In the prior art as well as in the invention, a third pressure modulator can be provided, which is usually located just behind the metatarsophalangeal joint of the small toe and pronates the forefoot.
Vom spiraldynamischen Effekt der einzelnen Druckmodulatoren geht auch die vorliegende Erfindung aus. Sie macht hiervon Gebrauch.The present invention is also based on the spiral dynamic effect of the individual pressure modulators. She makes use of it.
Bei dem Stand der Technik wird eine große Fläche beansprucht, die aufgrund der Belastung des Fußes und Druck der Druckmodulatoren auf den Rahmen bei langem Tragen als unangenehm, ermüdend empfunden werden kann.In the prior art, a large area is used, which can be perceived as uncomfortable and tiring due to the load on the foot and the pressure of the pressure modulators on the frame when worn for a long time.
Darüber hinaus sind die Druckmodulatoren auf die Unterseite des Grundkörpers aufgeklebt oder über Klettverbindungen mit dem Grundkörper verbunden, wobei ein Partner der Klettverbindung mit dem Grundkörper verbunden ist und der andere Partner der Klettverbindung mit den Druckmodulatoren.In addition, the pressure modulators are glued to the underside of the base body or connected to the base body via Velcro fasteners, one partner of the Velcro fastener is connected to the base body and the other partner of the Velcro connection with the pressure modulators.
Diese Befestigungsart von unten hat den Nachteil, dass der benötigende Rahmen, der mit den Druckmodulatoren nach oben gedrückt wird, eine teils statische Funktion entsteht und dadurch Muskulatur negativ beeinträchtigt wird.This type of attachment from below has the disadvantage that the required frame, which is pushed up with the pressure modulators, creates a partly static function and the muscles are negatively affected as a result.
Bei weichem Schuhwerk entsteht der Nachteil, dass sich die Druckmodulatoren in die Schuhsohle drücken, wodurch sich die Funktion der Einlage verringern.The disadvantage of soft footwear is that the pressure modulators press into the sole of the shoe, which reduces the function of the insole.
Auch diese Befestigung genügt nicht der gewünschten präzisen Festlegung der Druckmodulatoren an dem Grundkörper.Even this attachment is not sufficient for the desired precise fixing of the pressure modulators on the base body.
So lässt die zuvor beschriebene und aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte orthopädische und sensomotorische Schuheinlage noch Wünsche offen.The orthopedic and sensorimotor shoe insert described above and known from the prior art still leaves something to be desired.
Im Hinblick darauf schlägt die vorliegende Erfindung eine orthopädische Schuheinlage mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 vor. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Schuheinlage ist der Grundkörper ein dreidimensional gebildeter Formkörper. Der dreidimensionale Formkörper hat in Schnittansichten durch den Formkörper variierende Dicken. Solche variierenden Dicken sind nicht bei dem Stand der Technik zu finden, bei welcher der Grundkörper aus jeweils ebenen und miteinander verklebten oder anderweitig verbundenen Lagen bestehen kann. Die einzelnen Lagen haben zwar eine dreidimensional gebogene Form. Der Grundkörper ist allerdings kein dreidimensionaler Vollkörper in dem Sinne, dass Schnittansichten durch den Grundkörper unterschiedliche Materialstärken aufweisen.In view of this, the present invention proposes an orthopedic shoe insert with the features of claim 1. In the case of the insole according to the invention, the base body is a three-dimensional molded body. The three-dimensional shaped body has varying thicknesses in sectional views through the shaped body. Such varying thicknesses are not to be found in the prior art, in which the base body can consist of flat layers that are glued or otherwise connected to one another. The individual layers have a three-dimensional curved shape. However, the base body is not a three-dimensional solid body in the sense that sectional views through the base body have different material thicknesses.
Der dreidimensionale Formkörper kann aus einem geschäumten Polyurethan oder dergleichen gebildet sein. Er hat eine Härte von zwischen 10 und 65 Shore-A, insbesondere zwischen 20 und 30 Shore-A. Die Druckmodulatoren sind dabei stoffschlüssig mit dem Grundkörper verbunden. Die Druckmodulatoren befinden sich erfindungsgemäß jeweils in einer durch den Grundköper ausgebildeten Ausnehmung. Diese Ausnehmung gibt die Lage der Druckmodulatoren relativ zu dem Grundkörper eindeutig vor. Bei der Benutzung der orthopädischen Schuheinlage können die Druckmodulatoren nicht relativ zu dem Grundkörper wandern oder anderweitig verschoben werden.The three-dimensional shaped body can be formed of a foamed polyurethane or the like. It has a hardness of between 10 and 65 Shore-A, in particular between 20 and 30 Shore-A. The pressure modulators are materially connected to the base body. According to the invention, the pressure modulators are each located in a recess formed through the base body. This recess clearly specifies the position of the pressure modulators relative to the base body. When using the orthopedic shoe insert, the pressure modulators cannot migrate relative to the main body or be displaced in any other way.
Durch die Einbindung der Druckmodulatoren in den dreidimensionalen Formkörper werden Nachteile, die der Stand der Technik darstellt, wirkungsvoll verändert. Die Druckmodulatoren können ohne jeglichen Trägerrahmen direkt an den vorgegebenen Stellen einwirken. Dadurch wird ein statisches Einwirken auf Fuß/Muskulatur verhindert.Integrating the pressure modulators into the three-dimensional molded body effectively changes the disadvantages of the prior art. The pressure modulators can act directly at the specified points without any support frame. This prevents static effects on the foot/muscles.
Der Fuß wird üblicherweise vollflächig durch die Schuheinlage abgestützt. Der Grundkörper hat eine dem physiologischen Fußgewölbe entsprechende dreidimensionale Auflagefläche für den Fuß. Der Grundkörper deckt dementsprechend den Fuß unterseitig üblicherweise vollständig ab. Der Grundkörper kann eine Fersenumrandung haben und dementsprechend um den Fuß ganz oder teilweise umfänglich hochgezogen sein. Eine solche Fersenumrandung kann aber auch fehlen.The foot is usually fully supported by the shoe insert. The base body has a three-dimensional contact surface for the foot that corresponds to the physiological arch of the foot. Accordingly, the base body usually completely covers the foot on the underside. The base body can have a heel border and accordingly be pulled up completely or partially around the circumference of the foot. However, such a heel border can also be absent.
Üblicherweise ist der Grundkörper so ausgebildet, dass er im Wesentlichen vollflächig auf dem Schuh, in dem die Schuheinlage eingebracht ist, aufliegt. Dazu ist der zumindest eine Druckmodulator vorzugsweise flächenbündig mit einer Unterseite des Grundkörpers endend ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise wird eine gleichmäßige Lastabtragung der durch den Fuß übertragenen Gewichtskraft gewährleistet, wobei die stimulierende Wirkung der Druckmodulatoren erhalten bleibt. Die Einlage wird nicht im Bereich der Druckmodulatoren in den Schuh gedrückt.The base body is usually designed in such a way that it rests essentially over its entire surface on the shoe in which the shoe insert is inserted. For this purpose, the at least one pressure modulator is preferably designed to end flush with an underside of the base body. In this way, an even load distribution of the weight transmitted by the foot is guaranteed, while the stimulating effect of the pressure modulators is retained. The insole is not pressed into the shoe in the area of the pressure modulators.
Die Druckmodulatoren können eine runde oder nicht runde, bevorzugt rautenförmige Grundfläche haben. In einem Querschnitt in Höhenansicht, d.h. vertikaler Richtung sind die Druckmodulatoren üblicherweise konisch zulaufend ausgebildet. Sie enden üblicherweise in Höhenrichtung in einem einzigen höchsten Punkt, der im Besonderen die darüber liegenden Bänder und somit sensomotorisch Muskulaturen stimuliert und einer Fehlstellung des Fußes und damit des Stützund Bewegungsapparates des menschlichen Körpers entgegenwirkt.The pressure modulators can have a round or non-round, preferably rhombic, base. In a cross-section in elevation, i.e. in the vertical direction, the pressure modulators are usually tapered. They usually end in a single highest point in the height direction, which in particular stimulates the overlying ligaments and thus the sensorimotor muscles and counteracts a malposition of the foot and thus the supporting and musculoskeletal system of the human body.
Die Druckmodulatoren sind üblicherweise wesentlich härter als der Grundkörper. Die Härte der Druckmodulatoren liegt üblicherweise zwischen 70 und 85 Shore-A, insbesondere zwischen 70 und 80 Shore-A.The pressure modulators are usually much harder than the base body. The hardness of the pressure modulators is usually between 70 and 85 Shore-A, in particular between 70 and 80 Shore-A.
Bevorzugt sind die Druckmodulatoren und der Grundkörper verklebt oder gemeinsam stoffidentisch und als einheitlicher Körper ausgebildet. Bei beiden Alternativen können die Druckmodulatoren aus Polyurethan gebildet sein. Das die Druckmodulatoren ausbildende Polyurethan hat aber üblicherweise eine größere Dichte als das den Grundkörper ausbildende Polyurethan. Dieses kann gegenüber dem Polyurethan der Druckmodulatoren eher schaumförmig ausgeformt sein.The pressure modulators and the base body are preferably bonded or made of the same material together and formed as a single body. In both alternatives, the pressure modulators can be formed from polyurethane. However, the polyurethane forming the pressure modulators usually has a greater density than the polyurethane forming the base body. Compared to the polyurethane of the pressure modulators, this can be shaped more like a foam.
Die Druckmodulatoren können durch Umspritzen mit dem Grundkörper verbunden sein. Dabei sind zwei unterschiedliche Herstellungsarten denkbar. Bevorzugt werden zunächst die Druckmodulatoren hergestellt und in einer Spritzgießform so positioniert, dass beim anschließenden Einspritzen des den Grundkörper ausbildenden Materials in die Spritzgießform die Druckmodulatoren von dem den Grundkörper ausbildenden Material umströmt und mit diesem Material stoffschlüssig verbunden werden. Die Druckmodulatoren können zur besseren Befestigung an dem Grundkörper Hinterschneidungen oder Durchbrechungen aufweisen, in die der schmelzflüssige Kunststoff, der den Grundkörper ausbildet, beim Spritzgießen des Grundkörpers eindringen kann.The pressure modulators can be connected to the base body by overmolding. Two different types of production are conceivable. The pressure modulators are preferred first manufactured and positioned in an injection mold so that when the material forming the base body is subsequently injected into the injection mold, the material forming the base body flows around the pressure modulators and is bonded to this material. For better attachment to the base body, the pressure modulators can have undercuts or openings into which the molten plastic that forms the base body can penetrate during injection molding of the base body.
Bei einer alternativen Herstellungsweise wird zunächst der Grundkörper mit den jeweiligen Ausnehmungen für die Druckmodulatoren ausgeformt. Beim Umspritzen des Grundkörpers werden in die entsprechenden Ausnehmungen die Druckmodulatoren schmelzflüssig durch Spritzgießen eingebracht. Auch hierbei kann z.B. durch Aufrauen der Oberfläche des die Ausnehmung vorgebenden Formnestes beim späteren Einspritzen des die Druckmodulatoren ausbildenden Kunststoffs eine bessere mechanische Befestigung der Druckmodulatoren an dem Grundkörper erreicht werden.In an alternative production method, the base body with the respective recesses for the pressure modulators is formed first. When overmoulding the base body, the pressure modulators are introduced in molten form by injection molding into the corresponding recesses. Here too, a better mechanical attachment of the pressure modulators to the base body can be achieved, e.g.
Als weitere Alternative ist das 3D-Drucken der Druckmodulatoren auf dem oder zusammen mit dem Grundkörper denkbar. Bei diesem Druck wird im Bereich der Druckmodulatoren Material mit einer größeren Dichte und damit Härte gedruckt als im Bereich des davon getrennt zu sehenden Grundkörpers.As a further alternative, 3D printing of the pressure modulators on or together with the base body is conceivable. With this pressure, material with a greater density and thus hardness is printed in the area of the pressure modulators than in the area of the base body, which is to be seen separately.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird eine sensomotorische orthopädische Schuheinlage angegeben, bei welcher eine großflächige Rahmenkonstruktion, die durch Druckmodulatoren nach oben gedrückt wird, entfällt und ein statisches Einwirken vermieden wird. Dafür sind in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung die Druckmodulatoren so ausgebildet, dass diese sensomotorisch wirken.According to the present invention, a sensorimotor orthopedic shoe insole is specified in which a large-area frame construction, which is pushed upwards by pressure modulators, is omitted and static effects are avoided. For this purpose, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the pressure modulators are designed in such a way that they have a sensomotoric effect.
Das Einbinden der Druckmodulatoren in den dreidimensionalen Grundkörper verhindert im Übrigen ein Einsinken in einen weichen Schuh. Die Funktion der Druckmodulatoren in der neu entwickelten Einlage findet sofort statt, da nicht erst ein zweites Bauteil bewegt werden muss.Integrating the pressure modulators into the three-dimensional base body also prevents sinking into a soft shoe. The function of the pressure modulators in the newly developed insole takes place immediately, since a second component does not have to be moved first.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen orthopädischen Schuheinlage lassen sich Fußfehlstellungen dynamisch korrigieren, insbesondere Fehlstellungen von Fuß und Beinachsen sowie Beckenfehlstellungen korrigieren. Sie stabilisiert und korrigiert die Körperhaltung und stimuliert und aktiviert Muskelgruppen, die zur Korrektur von Fehlstellungen beitragen. Durch die erfindungsgemäße orthopädische Schuheinlage wird die Leistungsfähigkeit des Stütz- und Bewegungsapparates und die Koordination verbessert. Die erfindungsgemäße orthopädische Schuheinlage entlastet die Gelenke, Sehnen und Bänder und dämpft und reduziert die Auftrittskräfte. Dadurch werden Beschwerden minimiert und die Durchblutung gefördert.With the orthopedic shoe insert according to the invention, foot malpositions can be corrected dynamically, in particular malpositions of the foot and leg axes and pelvic malpositions can be corrected. It stabilizes and corrects posture and stimulates and activates muscle groups that help correct misalignments. The performance of the support and musculoskeletal system and the coordination are improved by the orthopedic shoe insert according to the invention. The orthopedic shoe insert according to the invention relieves stress the joints, tendons and ligaments and cushions and reduces the impact forces. This minimizes discomfort and promotes blood circulation.
