LOW COST METHOD FOR THERAPEUTIC ROLE PLANTAR INSOLES OBTAINING, USING RECYCLABLE MATERIALS

Abstract

The paper presents a research through which it was proposed to develop a low cost method for obtaining a prototype of foot insole with double role. The first one is to stimulate selectively different nervous centers placed in the foot sole and the second is to correct casually any foot deformities like flat foot or hollow foot. The peculiarity of this case study is that for the prototype manufacturing it was proposed to use different materials, some of which to be cheap and/or recyclable. Another feature of the proposed model is that it must be designed and achieved so that, if necessary, all nerve centers or just some nervous centers in the soles can be stimulated. Besides, casually, to be able to include removable components designed to correct certain foot deformities, like flat foot or pronounced arch.
