Nor does the invention disclose a sole element that can be combined with an adjustable side support structure in order to achieve a predetermined effect of the method of adjusting the plantar pressure distribution.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of adjusting the pressure distribution of the sole of the foot, which primarily includes a combination of a sole element that adjusts the left and right side support structures and a senseable pressure element that measures the sole pressure. In general, the plantar pressure distribution can be used to describe the distribution of the dynamic pressure of the plantar during walking. The fundus center of the foot is often used as a reference for the therapeutic effect of the foot. The plantar pressure center is the center of mass of the sum of all the plantar pressures (the pressure generated by the ground reaction force on the sole); therefore, the force acting on the center point does not generate a moment, and conversely, if the force is far from the center The farther the point is, the greater the torque generated. In the general gait cycle, the center of the foot pressure will be quickly offset inward from the middle or outer side of the heel (heel touches the ground) and then gradually shifted outwards, and will shift again inward at the end of standing, while the center of the foot pressure As a result of the overall stress calculation, it is basically less affected by the user's weight value, so the reference range for comparison of measurement power is more independent and more versatile.

It is currently known that if the maximum internal pressure ratio is increased, the knee internal moment is reduced. In patients with medial degenerative knee arthritis, there is a higher load on the lateral side of the foot during the heel strike and mid-stance. Because the measurement of the foot pressure is affected by the individual's height, weight, lower limb arrangement, walking speed, and walking inertia. At present, the study roughly combines the offset of the foot pressure center with the individual characteristics to estimate the knee adduction torque, and its correlation is about 70%. In the future, more cases and characteristics will still need to be collected to establish a norm, and the foot pressure sensing verification system will be optimized for the design development and effectiveness evaluation of the foot orthosis. Through the theoretical study, the normal model analysis of the trajectory of the foot pressure center during walking, and the correlation between the position of the adjustable air cushion pressure adjusting piece and the displacement of the sole pressure center trajectory will further provide the pressure measurement of the product during design. The planning and development basis for the placement of the air cushion support tab is as follows: the sensing pressure element using the measured sole pressure is placed in the shoe and combined into a part of the original shoe during running and walking. As the measurement body for the pressure measurement of the sole, but the relevant rear end processing components include a multiplexer, a signal amplifying circuit, an analog/digital signal converter, a microprocessor, etc., which are independent of the measurement of the sole pressure sensing, respectively. The body is combined into a control element and coupled to the measuring body via a flexible circuit board and extended upward to the outside of the upper, so that the control element can be disposed at any predetermined position of the upper, such as the tongue or the side of the shoe. Accommodate the bag body.

Firstly, the gait analysis of the stationary and the action is performed by the normal measurement, and the standard range value which can be used as a reference is established, and then divided into several blocks according to the structure of the foot bone and the pressure of the foot, by adjusting the different supporting parts. Deploy and measure the distribution of pressures in separate blocks and transfer them to a computer, mobile phone or remote Internet host via detachable control elements, wireless transmission or close-in network to establish user feet The bottom is subjected to pressure distribution values, average values, and weighted center-of-gravity values for each support structure and each time point. Then, according to the running and walking conditions of the user, the values of the measured foot pressure are compared with the standard range values, and the device will immediately judge the normal and abnormal conditions of the sole, and the judgment result is determined via the condition. Instant display, wireless transmission or close-in network, transmitted to a display device such as a computer, mobile phone or any display, providing users with a view of their gait, and pre-established user profile database and foot via a remote storage device The analysis of the bottom pressure database to determine whether the user's gait is abnormal, and to provide warnings or suggestions in a timely manner, and then adjust the distribution of the left and right side support structures of the sole components to achieve the difference in the left and right hardness of the sole components, and further improve the various regions of the foot. The pressure distribution value of the block is fed back to the original supply end by repeating the improved pressure distribution value, and repeating the consultation of the remote operation and the data comparison result, thereby achieving the function and effect of improving the motion gait and protecting the foot. .
