Method and application of biomechanical support device

Abstract

Structural formations and formulations of a silicon foam, for example, used in high performance shoes, as, for example, mid-sole materials of excellent energy efficiency (measured as a ratio of energy returned/energy absorbed) of 8050D IMEVA of excellent (151 mJ/cm3) shock absorption qualities foreseeably embodied in orthoses, shoes, midsoles, inserts and other molded forms.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A structural form for a shoe for optimized shock absorption, said form comprising: 
 silicone foam material having the characteristic of an optimized ratio energy return/energy absorption of greater than 0.6 mJ within a shoe;    at least one of a nob, a slit, an aperture, at least one of several ribs, at least one of several columns, at least one of several slots, at least one of several holes or at least one of several barrels;    wherein said silicone foam material is of a criteria of 8050D IMEVA with (151 mJ/cm 3 ) measurement of said energy absorbed per volume.    
     
     
         2 . The structural form of  claim 1 , further wherein said form is formed within a shoe as an IMEVA midsole; wherein said midsole provides a lightweight cushioning.  
     
     
         3 . A shoe structure formed as a midsole, said structure comprising: 
 a silicone foam material of optimized energy return/energy absorption formed within a shoe wherein, said shoe is a running shoe of controlled pronation from said structural formation.    
     
     
         4 . A structural form, comprising: 
 ID a silicone material for formation within an orthotic support of optimized energy return/energy absorption, wherein said silicone is a silicone foam material formed within as an orthotic structural support device to provide protection of bodily function; 
 wherein said orthotic structural support device, comprises: 
 a formation within one of: 
 an ankle foot orthosis;  
 a knee ankle foot orthosis;  
 a hip knee ankle foot orthosis;  
 a reciprocating gait orthosis; or  
 an ambulation orthosis.  
 
 
   
     
     
         5 . The structural form of  claim 4 , where said orthotic structural support device is customizable.  
     
     
         6 . The structural form of  claim 5 , wherein said orthotic device comprises formation as an orthopedic device that is applied externally to the limb or body, further said device comprising a brace.  
     
     
         7 . The structural form of  claim 6 , wherein said orthotic device further comprises a splint.  
     
     
         8 . A structural formation formed of silicone as a molded shock absorbing viscoelastic full insole molded as an as insert wherein said insole comprises; 
 said structural formation to redistribute pressure when worn under the foot; and    at least one of said structural formations utilized in correcting gait.
