3D arch pad design Insole group

Experimental group

Description:

This study utilizes a custom-made arch support pad with a 3D three-dimensional design that is already available on the market (patent number I315187). Its arch support principle is designed using 3DBS (Three-Dimensional Biomechanics System - 3DBS), which can conform to the user's feet. In this type, the bottom layer provides an overall shock-absorbing function.
