The supporting surface of the foot is not even as high as that of a
tennis ball and yet we subject it to such high stresses in bearing our
weight. They adapt themselves to the required articular motion
sequences and absorb the forces transmitted from the hip to the knee
and ankle joint. The foot is additionally subjected to excessive
stresses encountered by abrupt changes in direction and continuous
shifting of the centre of gravity.
The articular processes typical to each of sporting activities are
being influenced positively by the targeted individual utilization of
NovaPED sports insoles. The work of muscles becomes more efficient,
thus enhancing the potential for performance; this reduces the
inadvertent forces on the foot and noticeably resists irregular
exposures to stress.
The direction of forces and their respective regions of support in
sporting activities are shown by the indicative variations of their
pressure distribution: |
