The FlatFoot®
Insole
How it Works
By controlling the natural pronation of the foot, the vertical
geometry of the leg is aligned correctly. The internal rotation of the
knee and hip is minimized, and those joints are allowed to work as
nature intended. No other commercially available insole/orthotic can
make that claim. People with flat feet pay a 30% energy penalty when not
using the FlatFoot Insole/Orthotic. This energy savings was demonstrated
with a TecScanTM gait analyzer (results
are shown in the image below).
A more efficient use of energy results in increased stamina for
anyone spending time on their feet. The insoles/orthotics have been
shown to relieve the "target organ" pain in the feet, knees, hips, and
even low back.
The computer generated images above demonstrate the transfer of energy
from heel strike . Both represent a step taken with the same flat footed
person's left foot. Note the wasted energy (the curved line in
red/maroon) shown in image A (uncompensated) as opposed to the efficient
use of energy (the straight line in red/maroon) shown in image B
(compensated with the Flat Foot® insoles), resulting in increased
stamina.
