Abstract (en)
A device for mechanical stimulation of the foot support zones comprises four pneumatic chambers, two chambers being for each one of the feet, to create pressure to be exerted on the foot support zones, which chambers are equipped with valves and are coupled, via a receiver, to a pressure source, which source in turn is coupled to a control unit that controls the pressure-varying modes in the pneumatic chambers. The pneumatic chambers are intended to be disposed within footwear in the heel and tarsus area, and are coupled, through suitable pipelines, to a receiver; the pneumatic chambers being implemented such that when air is supplied, their volume is increased only in the direction perpendicular to the foot sole. The control unit comprises a microprocessor operated by a program that controls the air supply to the pneumatic chambers according to various modes of walking or run within the pneumatic chambers to the atmospheric pressure value; and said control unit is connected to a control input of the control valve, of the pressure sensor via the interface, and to a pressure source driver.
