Abstract

There are various types of insole therapy for the purpose of alleviating pain and improving the distribution of plantar pressure. Current insole therapy mainly focuses on dynamic alignment and control alignment by bone arrangement. The sensory interlocking insert is different from the conventional insole therapy plate and is an insole therapy plate whose alignment is controlled by muscles and tendons. Perceptually linked inserts stimulate or inhibit muscles and muscle chains through the action of spots called elements. It is an insole therapy that lets you learn how to use the correct muscles by controlling the alignment. At this time, we will report on the evaluation method and clinical effect from the theory of sensory interlocking insert. Perceptually-linked inserts are more effective when used in combination with stretching and strength training.
