ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic arch support is described, more particularly intended for therapy of disorders of the circulation of the foot, for the treatment of venous insufficiency within the area of the leg or for bedding load-sensitive feet, especially for bedding the feet of diabetics suffering from foot detects. The arch support has a multi-layer construction with a highly resilient elastomer core layer standardized so as to be as soft as possible and a thin, top-side covering layer in the form of a smooth fibrous structure. On the side of the sole, a separate supporting layer of flexible, machinable and compression-resistant material may be provided. The therapeutic arch support is distinguished by effectively supporting the back flow circulation when walking on the one hand and, on the other, in that it, while being economical to manufacture, supports the foot apparatus that is optimally adapted to the respective individual requirements in such a way that, when walking, as normal as possible and, therewith, pain-free loading situations arise, even when the foot already suffers from an advanced muscular atrophy within the area of the metacarpal phalangeal joints due to an impaired capillary circulation.
