The human foot frequently suffers from plantar pressure distribution during physical activities such as standing, playing, and walking
The main aim of the present study is to develop a beneficial and innovative method with the computer-aided reverse engineering system (CARESystem) to produce insole and outsole prototypes that fit the shape of the feet of a patient with diabetes
This study demonstrated an excellent method for the design of an orthotic insole shoes (OIS) product using a 3D mesh foot obtained from 3D scanning
Summary
The human foot frequently suffers from plantar pressure distribution during physical activities such as standing, playing, and walking. In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) described that at least 289 million people have diabetes and this number may increase to 438 million people by 2030 These patients may suffer from foot deformities such as pronation, metatarsalgia, flat feet, neuroma, plantar fasciitis, and arch pain (Anggoro, Bawono, Policharpus, Jamari, & Bayuseno, 2017; The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society, 2016; Vicenzino, 2004; Yao, 2005). These deformities often lead to pain and discomfort in the feet when people wear shoes or sandals. If the diabetic foot is untreated, it can cause an infection and the patient must undergo total or partial foot amputation (Bernabéu et al, 2013)
