Insoles are important elements of footwear that provide comfort and protection for the foot. They come in several types: simple, anatomical and orthopaedic. Each type of insole has its own function, but orthopaedic insoles are specialised products used to distribute the load on the feet and spine, to correct foot disorders and to restore the correct biomechanics of movement. The manufacture of orthopaedic insoles is an important aspect of the treatment and prevention of various musculoskeletal conditions.
The Mano Klinika personalised insoles are selected by a qualified doctor (orthopaedic traumatologist), ensuring their effectiveness and safety. The insoles are made according to the patient's medical history, based on the results of a foot scan.
Indications for personalised insoles
Orthopaedic insoles are also called foot orthotics. Various orthopaedic elements are used in the manufacture of such insoles, the choice of which depends on the type of pathology:
- Wedges - used to correct the angle of the foot.
- Heel cushioning and heel protection.
- Pronators and supinators - provide support for the arch of the foot.
- Lining - designed to ensure proper pressure distribution and foot stabilisation.
Key indications for customised insoles:
- Different types of flatfoot, valgus and varus deformities.
- Osteoarthritis, osteoarthritis, arthrosis, other diseases of the joints of the legs, including the knee and hip joints.
- Heel spike.
- Postural problems, pelvic tilt, scoliosis.
- Diabetic foot.
- Achilles tendon problems.
- Exercise and injuries.
- Different leg lengths.
Insoles can also be recommended for the prevention or correction of flat feet in the early stages of childhood development, for the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and to reduce the load on the legs during pregnancy, in the case of varicose veins, and for people who work "on their feet" (standing for long periods of static standing).
Benefits of customised insoles
The advantages of customised insoles are that they are designed to take into account the anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of each individual's foot. This allows for an effective solution to musculoskeletal problems and improves the patient's quality of life.
The main advantages of customised insoles:
- Made with the anatomy of the foot in mind.
Insoles are made on the basis of a precise analysis of the shape of the foot. This takes into account features such as vault height, foot length, deformation and the degree of loading on different areas of the foot. This is very important if a person has a non-standard foot or musculoskeletal disorders.
- Better comfort and less pain.
Properly fitting insoles significantly increase walking comfort and reduce pain in the feet, knees, hips and lower back by distributing the load evenly. This is useful for people who spend a lot of time on their feet or suffer from chronic foot and joint pain.
- Biomechanics correction.
The customised insoles help to correct foot misalignment and improve biomechanics of movement. This reduces the load on the joints and spine. This is useful for people with postural problems, scoliosis or different leg lengths.
- Injury and disease prevention.
Insoles help to prevent many foot, joint and spinal conditions. This is especially important for athletes and people with an active lifestyle, as insoles reduce the risk of injury.
- Help with sports.
For athletes and people with active lifestyles, insoles help to reduce the strain on the feet during intense workouts. This improves stability, prevents dislocations and other injuries, and helps you recover quickly from exercise.
- Leg length correction.
If leg lengths vary, compensatory insoles are produced to improve body balance and reduce stress on the spine and joints.
- Preventing complications of diabetes
Tailored insoles, especially for people with diabetic feet, help prevent ulcers, wounds and other complications. Redistributing the pressure on the foot properly reduces the risk of injury.
- Increased durability of footwear.
Insoles reduce wear and tear and prolong the life of shoes by distributing pressure properly and reducing deformation.
- Versatility of use.
The customised insoles can be used in a wide range of footwear types, from sports to casual footwear. Special insoles can also be made for different situations: everyday walking, work, sports and even leisure.
Personalised insoles improve foot and body health, provide comfort and help solve specific medical problems. "My Clinic personalised insoles can be picked up on the day of your order, immediately after your consultation.
