Assignee:
Langer Biomechanics Group, Inc. - Deer Park NY
International Classification:
A43B 716, A43B 1338
US Classification:

Abstract:
An orthotic device for insertion into a high-heeled shoe is provided. An orthotic device made in accordance with the instant invention virtually eliminates the problems associated with the wearing of high-heeled shoes, particularly pronation effects, general foot discomfort, posture problems, toe pain, and arch pain. The orthotic device comprises a right or semi-rigid shell for positioning beneath the heel of the foot and extending forwardly towards the toes of the foot. The shell terminates behind the five metatarsal heads of the foot, and is shaped whereby to permit the first metatarsal head freely to evert and plantarflex under load, and is shaped such that the heel of the foot is carried substantially parallel to or slightly backwardly inclined relative to the ground plane.

International Classification:
G06F019/00
US Classification:
264/219000, 700/117000, 600/592000
Abstract:
To make a foot orthotic device shaped to correct the plantar surface of a patient's foot from an appropriately shaped body, that body is made by taking measurements of various characteristics of the patient's foot directly from that foot, including measurements of various aspects of the patient's arch, generating a model of the plantar surface of the foot from these measurements, then modifying this model in accordance with a practitioner's corrective prescription, and using those modified measurements to control a shaping device such as a milling machine to produce on said body a three-dimensional surface constituting the desired corrected shape for the patient's plantar surface.
