Abstract
Vibrating orthotic shoe inserts and a method of manufacturing the same. In an embodiment, a vibrating orthotic shoe insert includes a forefoot portion configured to support a forefoot portion of a human foot; an arch portion configured to support an arch of the human foot, the arch portion including an area configured to be under a porta pedis of the human foot; and a heel portion configured to support a heel of the human foot. The arch portion includes a vibration element positioned within the area configured to be under the porta pedis of the human foot. The vibration element is configured to deliver vibration to the porta pedis of the human foot.
Claims18
A vibrating orthotic shoe insert, comprising:
- a forefoot portion configured to support a forefoot portion of a human foot;
- an arch portion configured to support an arch of the human foot, the arch portion including an area configured to be under a porta pedis of the human foot;
- and
- a heel portion configured to support a heel of the human foot,
- wherein the arch portion comprises a vibration element positioned within the area configured to be under the porta pedis of the human foot, and
- wherein the vibration element is configured to deliver vibration to the porta pedis of the human foot.
A method of manufacturing a vibrating orthotic shoe insert, comprising:
- setting dimensions of the vibrating orthotic shoe insert;
- and
- forming the vibrating orthotic shoe insert according to the set dimensions,
- wherein the vibrating orthotic shoe insert includes:
- a forefoot portion configured to support a forefoot portion of a human foot;
- an arch portion configured to support an arch of the human foot, the arch portion including an area configured to be under a porta pedis of the human foot;
- and
- a heel portion configured to support a heel of the human foot,
- wherein the arch portion comprises a vibration element positioned within the area configured to be under the porta pedis of the human foot, and
- wherein the vibration element is configured to deliver vibration to the porta pedis of the human foot.
A vibrating orthotic shoe insert, comprising:
- a forefoot portion including a top surface configured to support a forefoot portion of a human foot;
- an arch portion being formed of an arch fill material and including:
- a top surface configured to support an arch of the human foot;
- an area configured to be under a porta pedis of the human foot;
- and
- at least a sub-portion of the arch portion located above the area configured to be under the porta pedis of the human foot, the at least a sub-portion being formed of an arch fill material of a high density,
- a heel portion including a top surface configured to support a heel of the human foot, the heal portion being formed of a high density material;
- a power source positioned within the heal portion;
- and
- a vibration element within the area configured to be under the porta pedis of the human foot within the arch portion, the vibration element configured to receive power from the power source,
- wherein the vibration element is configured to deliver vibration to the porta pedis of the human foot through the at least a sub-portion of the arch portion.
