Abstract: The Overshoe Walking Correctors (OWCs) are a medical walking device to go over a user's feet and shoes and changes the shape in the base of their current walking shoes for correcting gait. They need only be used by the obese and overweight population, who suffer limited mobility in their skeletal joints, due to the burden of weight they are carry on their bodies. The device was designed by Gail McGonigal an Occupational Therapist, who discovered the concept after falling on concrete severely bruising but not breaking her hip, due to a daily intake of oral calcium. She was only able to walk in rocker shoes containing no weight bearing capacity. Gail immediately understood how this concept will help the obese population improve their mobility in gait. She has designed the Overshoe Walking Correctors for all overweight people to wear, so they will feel no more pain in gait.
