Abstract: An article of footwear that acts to strengthen the foot through biofeedback, reduces stresses on the foot that occur during impact through midsole/outsole design characteristics, and enhances the foot's ability to pre-stabilize itself prior to striking the ground by utilizing the foot's “Windlass Effect”.

Abstract: An insole device configured to fit the profile of the human foot to promote proprioceptive stimulation of the Golgi tendon organ. The midfoot section of the insole device has an asymmetric domed structure that is presented to the plantar aspect of the foot at a location found to be the anatomical apex of the foot's arch system. The asymmetric domed structure displays physical properties to catalyst muscle group balancing by using the body's proprioceptive feedback mechanisms. The asymmetric domed structure displays physical properties such that it does not provide functional bracing or support to the plantar aspect of the foot. The net result will be more structurally sound foot capable of more energy efficient and less injury inducing use.

Abstract: A novel article of footwear that acts to strengthen the foot through biofeedback, reduces stresses on the foot that occur during impact through novel midsole/outsole design characteristics, and enhances the foot's ability to pre-stabilize itself prior to striking the ground by utilizing the foot's “Windlass Effect”.

Abstract: An insole device configured to fit the profile of the human foot to promote proprioceptive stimulation of the golgi tendon organ. The midfoot section of the insole device has an asymmetric domed structure that is presented to the plantar aspect of the foot at a location found to be the anatomical apex of the foot's arch system. The asymmetric domed structure displays physical properties to catalyse muscle group balancing by using the body's proprioceptive feedback mechanisms. The asymmetric domed structure displays physical properties such that it does not provide functional bracing or support to the plantar aspect of the foot. The net result will be a more structurally sound foot capable of more energy efficient and less injury inducing use.

Abstract: A shoe insole-midsole device configured to fit the profile of the human foot with a distinctive toe end and a distinctive heel. The midfoot section of the insole/midsole device is characterized by an asymmetrical domed structure that is presented to the plantar aspect of the foot at a location found to be the anatomical apex of the foot's arch system. The domed structure displays physical properties such as to catalyze muscle group balancing by utilizing the body's proprioceptive feedback mechanisms. The net result will be a more structurally sound foot capable of more energy efficient and less injury inducing use. In addition to the predominant dome characteristic, the insole/midsole is also typified by a posterior most skiving which reduces impact velocity, thus easing the introduction of the dome characteristic to the plantar aspect of the foot.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed having a toe support portion, an arch support portion and a heel support portion, each of which are mounted along a longitudinal axis to be aligned with the elongate dimension of the foot, so as to be engageable with the respective portions thereof. The supports are movable along a vertical axis and rotatable about the longitudinal axis. A displacement means is also provided in coupling engagement with each support portion to displace vertically one of the support portions in response to vertical displacement of another of the support portions. A method is also disclosed for determining the neutral alignment position of a foot, while a further method is provided for ascertaining the condition of the posture of a person.
