Abstract
An active suspension orthotic support system is disclosed. The suspension orthotic support system comprises at least one variable resistance beam extending from a heel section to a mid-arch section of the footwear, wherein rotation of the variable resistance beam from a first position to a second position causes a resistance provided by the variable resistance beam to vary between a minimum resistance to a maximum resistance.
Claims19
An orthotic platform comprising:
- a heel section;
- a front section;
- and
- a mid-arch section between the heel section and the front section:
- a rod extending from said heel section to said mid-arch section, said rod comprising:
- a cylindrical first section proximate to said mid arch-section;
- and
- a variable resistance beam section attached to said first section;
- and
- a second cylindrical section attached to said variable resistance beam section, said second cylindrical section extending through said heel section;
- and
- a selector insert positioned within a selector pocket, wherein said variable resistance beam section passes through said selector, said selector configured to:
- rotate said variable resistance beam section to alter an orientation of said variable resistance beam section with respect to said mid arch section.
