Evaluation of Toe Supporters Using Human and Life Engineering (Used on the Toes)
We will introduce how to evaluate the effectiveness of a supporter used on the toes, including "balance ability" and "muscle load," and what measurement items should be used for this evaluation.
■Evaluation Subject Various shapes of supports to be worn on the toes (see attached materials) ■Evaluation Items and Methods (1) Subjective Evaluation - Ease of walking - Physical burden - Impact on walking style (stability, instability, body sway, etc.) (2) Personal Characteristics - Foot dimensions (see basic information) (3) Muscle Load - Measurement of muscle load at seven locations, including the erector spinae (for details, please refer to basic information) (4) Static and Dynamic Balance - Measurement of how much stability the body gains from wearing the toe support (static balance) and how far the lifted foot can extend while standing on one leg (dynamic balance). For details, please refer to basic information and attached materials. (5) Plantar Pressure Distribution - Measurement of where pressure is applied on the sole of the foot. For details, please refer to attached materials. (6) Gait - Our product (Anakin System) will be used. Measurements will include walking speed, stride length, body tilt, and movements of the hands and knee joints. 【Expected Outcomes】 - It will be possible to understand the specific effects that various shapes of supports have on individuals.
