Field of invention The present invention generally relates to products and methods for controlling lower limb movements, for example, by altering sensory inputs to the sole surface to affect lower limb movements and / or kinetics.
background Regular footwear articles, including athletic footwear, have included two basic elements: the top member and the bottom structure. The upper member provides a foot covering that stably receives the foot and positions the foot with respect to the sole structure. In addition, the upper member may have a form that protects the foot and cools the foot by ventilating and removes sweat. The bottom structure is generally fixed to the bottom of the top member, and generally the foot and contact surfaces (but not limited to ground, grass, soil, sand, snow, ice, tiles, flooring). (Can include surfaces that any foot or footwear comes in contact with, including carpets, synthetic grass, artificial turf, etc.). In addition to diminishing the contact surface reaction force, the bottom structure can provide traction and help control foot movements such as pronation. Thus, the top and bottom structures work together to provide a comfortable structure suitable for a variety of walking activities such as walking and running.
The sole structure of athletic footwear is, at least in some cases, an insole that amplifies comfort, an elastic (eg, at least partially formed from a polymeric foam material) midsole, and both wear resistance and traction. Contact surface-may show a layered morphology including a contact outsole. In at least some cases, the midsole can be the first sole structural element that attenuates the contact surface reaction force and controls the movement of the foot. Suitable polymer foam materials for at least part of the midsole are ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) or polyurethane (PU), which elastically shrinks against applied loads to reduce contact surface reaction forces. including.
Some traditional sole structures have been useful in helping control foot movement, but in some people gait problems such as excessive pronation or supination, arthritis problems, and excessive varus / supination. And other problems that cannot be dealt with properly by the usual bottom structure. Despite the fact that shoe inserts and orthodontic appliances have been shown to be effective in treating various diseases, their biomechanical effects on the lower limbs of the body are poorly understood. Also, in some cases, the use of orthodontic appliances under the feet is a strut that the body may eventually become dependent on. The struts must be made even more serious with each successive illness. Also, shoe wedge inserts have been successfully used to provide at least some comfort or to correct certain gait problems, but these wedges tend to loosen in the shoe. The result is discomfort and / or is easily lost. Therefore, there is room for improvement in lower limb motion control in the art.
<u style="single">Overview</u> Aspects of the invention relate to new systems and methods for treating certain gait problems and overuse injuries that can be used alone or in combination with other conventional methods (eg, those previously described). Moreover, while the configurations of the systems and methods of the invention do not provide mechanical struts when used alone, aspects of the invention may provide long-term comfort for diseases associated with specific movements.

B. Experimental results For example, the type shown in Figures 1B and 1C<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Various motor and dynamic experiments were performed on the effect of changing the sensory input to the sole surface of the user's foot using the footbed structure.
1. Investigation on the effect of changing the sensory input to the foot during walking In this experiment, selectively of the types illustrated in Figures 1B and 1C<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>We investigated changes in walking movements of various subjects as a result of the presence of a footbed. In this experiment, 12 subjects (8 males and 4 females; average height = 5 feet 9 inches; average weight = 161 pounds; shoe size 9M) took approximately 108 steps / along a 50-meter indoor path. Tested while walking in minutes. Subjects were at different times the type of smooth (non-non-existent) illustrated in Figure 1A.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>) With the sockliner as a control, as well as the inside of the mold illustrated in Figure 1B<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The sockliner pair and the outside of the mold shown in Figure 1C<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Weared a pair of sockliners (interventions were applied bilaterally in random order). In this experiment, the insole or sockliner was worn barefoot (ie, without shoes-the subject wore nylon stockings), and the insole or sockliner was held on the subject's foot by exercise wrap. "<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The term "done" is used on the sole contact surface as used herein.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>texture<u style="single">)</u>However, it means that it is strong enough to induce immediate perception of the subject wearing it, but not enough to signal it as painful.
A motion analysis system (240Hz) and a Kistler force plate (1000Hz) were used to monitor these walking tests and capture the data. Specifically, ankle joint motion (varus, supination, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, tibial rotation, etc.) and vertical floor reaction force were evaluated.
In these studies, some obvious differences in rear foot movement in the user were observed when wearing different footbed elements. For example, as illustrated in Figures 5A, 6A and 6B, the maximum supination level experienced by the wearer is control (non-control).<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>) And the outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Compared to the insole components that have been made, the inside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was significantly lower in the insole components that were made. More specifically, FIG. 5A shows a "box" of maximum supination level (based on rear foot angle measurements) during the ground contact period during walking to gather information about subjects wearing various insole structures. Provide a "type diagram" (in these and other similar diagrams, unless otherwise stated, the mean is marked with +, the standard error limits the height of the box, and the standard deviation range is by the solid line extending from the box. Specified). Figure 5B shows a box of rear foot movement range measurements (rear foot movement from ground contact to maximum supination point) during the ground contact period during walking to gather information about subjects wearing various insole structures. The figure is provided. Figures 6A and 6B illustrate the "rear foot movement" graphs of two of the subjects wearing each of the three insole structures. The graphs in Figures 6A and 6B (and other similar graphs included in the figure, unless otherwise stated) are from ground contact (time t = 0) to takeoff (time t = 1.0) during the ground contact period. Standardized for time.
As is clear from these charts and graphs, the maximum supination (the smallest overall point in Figures 6A and 6B) is "non".<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Compared to the control sample, the inside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Smaller insole samples, but maximal supination is generally on the outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was smaller in the control sample than in the insole sample (however, the latter difference was not statistically significant and could be due to the limited supination range in the ankle joint during walking). The overall range of rear foot movement (the movement of the rear foot from ground contact to the maximum supination point) is on the inside compared to the other two conditions.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was significantly lower in the insole components that were made. The outside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Insole components are generally non-<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The range of motion was higher than in the control condition, but this difference was not statistically significant. No significant difference was observed in the varus angle at ground contact under the three test conditions (note the time t = 0 in FIGS. 6A and 6B).
The data collected also show that the maximum varus amount that occurs at the end of the ground contact period (near time t = 1) is on the outside.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Compared to the insole structure that was made, the inside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was shown to be significantly higher in the insole structure. The supination speed is on the inside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Insole construction and non-<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Compared to the insole structure, the outside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was found that the insole structure was significantly faster. No significant difference in maximum varus rate was observed near the end of the stance phase in the subjects of these studies.
Various selective for tibial movements during walking<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Studies have also been conducted on the effects of using the footbed structure. Tibial movements are linked to subtalar joint movements, and in general, differences in rear foot movements would be expected to be reflected by differences in tibial rotation during the ground contact phase. However, as illustrated in Figure 7 (a diagram showing the mean tibial rotation curve on ground for a typical subject with three different footbed components), (a) the tibia during foot collision. No significant difference was found for rotation (time t = 0), maximum internal rotation (peak below the horizontal axis of the graph), or maximum external rotation of the tibia (peak above the horizontal axis of the graph). This, however, in some subjects, tibial rotation follows the embodiments of the present invention.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Shoe inserts, socks, sockliners, or other<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It does not imply that it will not be affected by the use of the footbed products that have been made.
Other kinematic differences were also observed depending on the structure of the insole components worn. For example, when the wearer's foot leaves the ground at the end of ground contact, the subject is exposed to the outside.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The inside is more than when wearing the insole component<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>They tended to show less plantar flexion when wearing the insole components that were made. This result may suggest that the subject is not kicking the ground as well when wearing different footbed components. During this walking study, no significant difference was observed in the subjects' sagittal ankle angles (eg, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, etc.) when touching down.
Selectively wearing<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Further differences were observed in the floor reaction force experienced by the wearer, depending on the type of footbed structure used. For example, the maximum vertical load factor experienced by the wearer is on the outside compared to the control component.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was observed to be significantly lower when using the insole components that were made (inside).<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>No significant difference was observed in the vertical loading factor between the use of the components and control components that were used). Recalling that during one step of walking, the outer heel is the first wearer's part to come into contact with the ground, these results are under the outer heel.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>texture<u style="single">)</u>When placed, it suggests that there is some form of compensation that alters the wearer's lower limb movements and reduces the load factor on initial ground contact. The outside observed in this time frame<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The increased supination speed when using the modified footbed component may have helped reduce the vertical load factor.
These experimental results demonstrated that rear foot movement can be influenced by altering sensory input to the sole surface during walking. In addition, as evidenced by these tests, rear foot movement can be altered without the usual mechanical interference of wedges, two-dimensional density foam, or other preventative equipment.
Generally, to a specific area under the foot<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>texture<u style="single">)</u>The addition of was encouraged to move away from the area of increased sensory input. Inside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The subject's rear foot supination (pronation) was significantly reduced when the footbed component was worn. This may be due to a conscious or subconscious attempt to avoid weighting the foot on the inner part of the shoe insert. Not significant, but on the outside of the shoe insert<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>If so, a similar tendency was seen, with subjects tending to abduct more.
This theory is also generally more internal<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>This is also supported by the fact that the subject's toes were more inward (turned off) at the end of the stance phase when wearing the footbed component. Also, the outside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The subject's supination speed was significantly faster when the footbed component was worn. This result is because the outer part of the foot is generally the first point of contact with the ground.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>texture<u style="single">)</u>It may be due to an attempt to move away from and weight the medial side of the foot.
For example, it may be applicable to many products to influence human movement by sensory input to the sole surface by the above method. For example, to help limit excessive pronations<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>texture<u style="single">)</u>Can be used to provide shoes (or insoles or other products for shoes, such as those described above) that supplement current motion control techniques. As another example, a manufacturer, healthcare provider, wearer or others may play basketball or other to improve stability, for example during a cutting motion, when suddenly turning, starting or stopping. On the outer edge of athletic footwear<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>texture<u style="single">)</u>(For example, the outside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Additional effects can be considered (by including a sockliner or sockliner).
2. Investigation of the effect of changing the sensory input to the foot during running In this experiment, selectively of the types illustrated in Figures 1B and 1C<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>We investigated changes in running movement and dynamics in various subjects as a result of the presence of a footbed. In this experiment, 11 subjects (7 males and 4 females; average height = 5 feet 9 inches; average weight = 161 pounds; shoe size 9M) were approximately per mile along a 50-meter indoor path. Tested while running at a speed of 7.5 minutes (± 5%). Subjects wore Air Pegasus running shoes (commercially available from NIKE, Inc., Beaverton, Oregon, USA) with the various types of insoles illustrated in Figures 1A-1C at different times (inclusions are bilaterally synonymous). Applied in random order). "<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The term "done" is also used on the sole contact surface, as used herein.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>texture<u style="single">)</u>Means that it is strong enough to induce immediate perception of the subject wearing it, but not enough to signal it as painful.
A motion analysis system (240Hz) and a Kistler force plate (1000Hz) were used to monitor these running tests and capture the data. Specifically, ankle and knee joint movements and dynamics, as well as vertical floor reaction forces were evaluated.
Different rear foot movements were observed under different test conditions. FIG. 8A includes a box diagram (mean, standard error, and standard deviation, as described above) showing the mean rear foot varus angle at ground contact collected for the subjects under these three sets of test conditions. Includes a box diagram showing average circumflex range data collected for subjects under these three sets of test conditions. Figures 9A and 9B illustrate average rear foot varus / supination graphs for running with these three sets of test conditions in two representative subjects.
Subjects were more medial than the other two shoe conditions, as observed from the data contained in Figures 8A, 9A and 9B.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>There was a tendency for less varus during heel collisions while wearing the footbed component. The outside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>No significant difference was observed in the varus angle during heel collision between the footbed conditions and the smooth footbed conditions. In addition, there was no significant difference in the maximum supination angle during the ground contact period when using various footbed components.
The supination range (rear foot movement from ground contact (t = 0) to the maximum supination point) is on the inside compared to the other two conditions.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>There were significantly fewer footbed components. This difference may be due, at least in part, to the aforementioned differences in varus during heel collision. At the end of the stance phase (near time t = 1), subjects were more medial than the other two conditions.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>There was a tendency for significantly less varus when using the insole member.
During these tests, supination velocity data was also evaluated. Maximum supination speed is on the outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Conditions made, and non<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Compared to either of the conditions, the inside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It tended to be significantly slower when using the footbed components. The maximum supination speeds collected during this test are summarized in Figure 10, which illustrates a box diagram showing the average supination speeds while running under three shoe insert conditions. In addition, these tests are on the outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The use of footbed components has been non-use<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was revealed that the maximum supination speed was significantly faster than the condition.
During these experiments, tibial rotation data were also observed and collected, and some of these collected data are summarized and / or illustrated in Figures 11A, 11B, 12A and 12B. 11A and 11B provide box diagrams illustrating the average maximum internal tibial rotation at takeoff (FIG. 11A) and external tibial rotation (FIG. 11B). Figures 12A and 12B illustrate mean tibial rotation graphs (standardized as above) for time for two representative subjects running under three insert conditions.
From these studies, no significant difference was found in tibial rotation during heel collision among the three different footbed conditions. Maximum internal tibial rotation is medial compared to control conditions<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was significantly lower in the footbed condition. Conversely, the control and inside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Compared to the conditions that were set, the outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was significantly larger in the footbed conditions. Note Figures 11A, 12A, and 12B. On takeoff, the inside is better than both other footbed conditions<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Significantly large external tibial rotation was observed when the footbed component was worn. Notice Figures 11B, 12A, and 12B.
During these experiments, the effects of different test footbed conditions on the ankle joint were also evaluated. Figures 13A and 13B illustrate and summarize some of the data collected. More specifically, FIG. 13A provides a box diagram showing the average maximum ankle plantar flexion moment during running using three footbed test conditions. FIG. 13B illustrates the mean sagittal ankle moment observed for one representative subject running under three different test conditions. No significant difference was observed in the maximum abduction or adduction moment, or varus or supination moment in the ankle joint when running with different footbed conditions. However, compared to the other two inserts, the outside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>A small but significant reduction in the maximum plantar flexion moment in the ankle joint was observed for users wearing the footbed inserts.
The effects of different test footbed conditions on the knee joint were also evaluated. Figures 14A and 14B illustrate and summarize some of the data collected. More specifically, FIG. 14A provides a box diagram showing the average maximum knee abduction moment during running with three footbed test conditions. FIG. 14B illustrates the mean knee abduction moment observed for one representative subject running under three test conditions. According to this test, the maximum internal rotation moment is on the inside.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Compared to the footbed member that was made, the outside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was shown that it was significantly lower when the footbed member was used. Also, compared to the other two footbed conditions, the outside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was found that the maximum abduction moment in the knee when using the footbed member was significantly lower. No significant difference was observed in the maximum flexion moment in the knee.
During these tests, the effect of using various footbed conditions on the vertical floor reaction force during running was also evaluated. No significant difference was observed in the maximum vertical impact during running under different footbed test conditions. However, the inside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The outside is compared to the footbed component<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>A general reduction in impact peaks was observed with the footbed components (p = 0.11). The maximum vertical load value is on the inside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The outside is compared to the footbed component<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was found to be significantly lower when running with the footbed components. Outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>A similar tendency was observed when the conditions were compared with the control (smooth) conditions (p = 0.12). These findings, at least in part, are on the outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>May be associated with increased supination speed seen when wearing a footbed. Also, compared to the other two conditions, the inside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>A small but significant increase in maximum active floor reaction force was observed during running with the footbed components.
Various observations can be made and / or conclusions can be drawn from the above test results. For example, as seen in the walking test above,<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Stimulation of the medial side of the sole with the material used tended to reduce supination (or pronation) of the foot. In the running test, however, the maximum supination is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It was unaffected when running on the insoles that were used (although differences in rear foot movement were observed during the running test, especially at the beginning and end of the stance or ground contact period).
Inside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The slower supination speed observed during the running test on the footbed, and the outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The faster supination speed observed in the footbed, the foot<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It supports the hypothesis that it will try to limit the degree of weighting on the surface. This finding, however, differs from the results typically seen during running studies, along with results for vertical floor reaction forces (typically, faster supination speeds are associated with higher vertical load values). .. In this running study, supination control is on the outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It can be associated with dynamic patterns that try to limit the foot weight on the area. In other running studies, higher supination may be attributed to the mechanical effect caused by the material properties of the midsole on the outside of the heel of some running shoe.
Many observers believe that runner knee pain can be the result of excessive internal tibial rotation during the ground contact phase of running, at least in some cases. Due to the strong connection in the subtalar joint, the most common method for controlling tibial rotation is to limit the supination of the foot. No clear reduction in supination was seen during these tests, but this running test was on the inside.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It is suggested that the footbed provided helps limit the internal rotation of the tibia. Conversely, these test results show that the outside is<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It is suggested that the footbed condition was increased the maximum internal rotation of the tibia. This knowledge, for example, inside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Texturing<u style="single">)</u>Provides a footbed, sockliner or insole in the shoe, including (or inside)<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Provide running shoe designs aimed at alleviating knee pain by (providing otherwise provided footbed components).
It has long been known that lateral wedges under the foot can be used to reduce abduction moments in the knee and relieve chronic knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. This test, however, demonstrates that these same motion controls can be achieved without mechanical interference under the feet. These facts are outside for arthritis patients or others<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>Footbeds, sockliners, insole members or other outside<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It leads to footwear design, including the structure.
These tests are selectively for footwear, clothing, and / or other foot-accepting devices.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>It has been proven that the footbed can also be used to supplement current motion control techniques such as two-dimensional density foam, footbridge, and midsole structural modalities. For the purpose of improving dynamic stability in exercise<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>The footbed can also be added to specific and selective anatomical areas under the foot, such as tennis or basketball shoes (eg, rapid turnaround, cut, rapid outward start or rest). The outside for use in shoes for activities where etc. are performed<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>By providing the insole member that has been made).

Will understand and accept. To get the desired result<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Texturing<u style="single">)</u>When applying to the foot, it may suggest the need to customize its special "feel" and / or position.<u style="single">Concavo-convex processing (</u>Textured<u style="single">)</u>There can also be a "subject-specific" response to the element. Such a tailoring can be achieved by routine experimentation.
