Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0173396A2] An orthotic appliance which engages a plantar surface of a person's foot which includes an initial blank having a top surface that generally follows the contour of the plantar surface of the person's foot, and a bottom surface having a zone of disparate resiliency adapted to receive thereon shock absorption enhancing instrumentalities and an underlying cap, all of which are fused together to form a laminate which encourages the foot to be cradled upon heel strike, allowing the transition from heel strike to mid-gait to occur with the foot in a neutral position, allowing elongation and preparing the foot for toe roll propulsive phase with associated shock absorption, and a sufficient resiliency to allow the insert to return to an initial state for the successive cycle.
