Abstract

This article demonstrates the initial research results, related to the construction of rehabilitation orthopedic device for plantar fasciitis treatment. The results include the calculations of the pressure distribution, considering the human weight and individual gait peculiarities. Three calculation methods are considered: “theoretical” calculation, using the anatomical proportions of load distribution in human foot, empirical calculation, using weights coefficients and human weight distributions, and experimental calculation, using specific medical equipment. the Moreover, this article covers the usage of specific smart materials which can be implemented in the insole construction process. Each smart material has particular properties, considered in the functionality of the insole during the construction.
