ABSTRACT:
A foot cushioning device especially adapted for use by diabetic persons suffering from a protruding joint disorder of the foot in the arch or instep region includes a thick foam pad having a notch extending into the pad from one side thereof. The pad may be positioned against the sole of a person's foot with the Charcot joint protrusion accommodated in the notch. An elastic band of non-chafing material may be secured at a first end to the lower surface of the pad by means of hooked anchoring fabric secured to the pad. The other end of the band may be wrapped around the top of the person's foot and overlapped onto the first end of the band at a location beneath the lower surface of the pad and secured in place to the band material by another swatch of the anchoring fabric provided on the overlapping end of the band. A person fitted with such a device may then place his or her foot within the confines of a shoe with the pad serving to isolate and protect the afflicted region from coming into contact with the shoe.
