Podo-Contact 2100

The 3 individual levers of the PodoContact stretch the foot during the movement phase.
The openings in the heel area and at the attachment point of the small metatarsal bone stabilise and hold the foot.
The toes are stretched by lowering the forefoot (ball of the big toe and ball of the little toe are lowered), thus correcting halux valgus, claw toes and hammer toes.
Stretching Stabilising Stretching Blood circulation. All of these effects help to solve or alleviate toe and foot misalignments, knee, hip and spinal complaints.

Landing phase

Stance phase

Unwinding phase

Impression phase

The unique shape of PodoContact with its ascending chain effect alleviates complaints in the entire musculoskeletal system. Even with joint complaints, neurological complaints, even with MS Parkinson's and rheumatism patients, we have achieved very good relief with this PodoContact aid.

1. round heel counter acts in the landing phase

- The heel is pulled towards the ground through the round heel opening
- The heel bone is held in position by the heel socket
- The horizontal and vertical statics of the USG and OSG and subsequently the knee and hip are thus brought into a more natural, normal position
- This round heel section extends from the medial curve of the heel and progressively becomes wider and higher, caressing the heel.

2. medial heel wedge works in the stance phase

- The medial heel wedge provides the inner arch of the foot, calcaneal arch, navicular bone and cuneiform bone with a balancing support to the lat. rear and metatarsal lever
- It is a steeply rising and smoothly diverging medial heel wedge
- It promotes the correct statics of the foot

3. lateral rearfoot lever acts from the landing phase into the stance phase

- Through the opening of the 5th metatarsal bone, the reflux rolls over the lateral hindfoot lever, preventing the foot from tipping away
- the entire hindfoot (tarsus) is stretched

4. lateral metatarsal lever acts from the stance phase into the push-off phase

- The attachment point of the 5th metatarsal lies on the ground
- The lat. metatarsal lever underlays half of the 5th metatarsal bone and supports the statics of the round part of the heel socket
- The shape is similar to the hindfoot lever but slightly lower
- Both: the lateral rearfoot lever and the lateral metatarsal lever surround the attachment point of the 5th metatarsal bone

5. forefoot wedge with deepening of the ball of the big toe acts in the push-off rolling phase

The forefoot wedge extends from the end of the lateral metatarsal lever (behind the 5th metatarsal head) running transversely (see image) to behind the end phalanx of the big toe. The metatarsal heads 2 3 4 lie freely on the ground and are pressed into the natural transverse arch by the forefoot wedge behind the heads. The 1st and 5th metatarsal heads are pulled to the ground by the lowering, which gradually narrows the foot

Thanks to its unique shape, PODOCONTACT achieves phenomenal results

The philosophy here is:

That the pressure of the body weight in the landing phase is immediately guided and held correctly by the round heel wedge. (CORRECTS BACK-FOOT POINTS, flat feet, fallen arches, flat feet ...)

Using the lateral rearfoot and midfoot lever to balance the force development of the stance phase of the foot in the correct rolling movement and to stabilise it centrally (SAFETY WHEN WALKING)

Increased stretching and blood circulation in the foot muscles (LINDER VENOUSNESS)

The forefoot wedge achieves a natural development of the footprint phase over the 1st ray or big toe. (CORRECTS FORE-FOOT POINTS, splayfoot hallux valgus, hammer toes .....)

Application:
