Adjustable orthopedic insoles

Abstract

There are provided in accordance with the present invention adjustable orthopedic insoles including a foothold having a base frame, a medial arc support and a tarsal support, so that a camber located beneath the medial arc support provides a clearance located between the foothold, and at least one arcuate abutment mountable in the aforementioned camber. Conjointly, a methods of adjusting orthopedic insoles to a user employing a set of adjustable orthopedic insoles including selecting the most comfortable combination of the footholds and arcuate abutments and of adjusting metatarsal support of the orthopedic insoles of by selecting the most comfortable metatarsal insert are further disclosed.

1 . An adjustable orthopedic insole comprising
 a foothold having a base frame, a medial arc support and a tarsal support, wherein a camber located beneath said medial arc support provides a clearance located between said foothold when inserted into a shoe and the inner sole of said shoe;   at least one arcuate abutment mountable in said camber, and wherein said arcuate abutment has a rear wall, and wherein said rear wall conforms a supporting face of said camber.   
   
   
       2 . An adjustable orthopedic insole as in  claim 1 , wherein said arcuate abutment has at least one keying member of the first kind conforming a keying member of the second kind disposed at the bottom face of said camber. 
   
   
       3 . An adjustable orthopedic insole as in  claim 1 , wherein said foothold has a tarsal support including at least an inclined portion of said base frame adjacent to said supporting face. 
   
   
       4 . An adjustable orthopedic insole as in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one arcuate abutment is made of rigid material. 
   
   
       5 . An adjustable orthopedic insole as in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one arcuate abutments is elongated when stressed. 
   
   
       6 . An adjustable orthopedic insole as in  claim 1 , wherein said foothold further has towards the front end a concavity for a metatarsal insert. 
   
   
       7 . A set of adjustable orthopedic insoles comprising
 a pair of footholds having a base frame, a medial arc support and a tarsal support each, wherein a camber located beneath said medial arc support provides a clearance located between said foothold when inserted into a shoe and the inner sole of said shoe;   at least two pairs of matching arcuate abutments, wherein said matching arcuate abutments are each mountable in a respective camber of said footholds, and   
     wherein the maximal height of any arcuate abutment of the first pair of said at least two pairs of matching arcuate abutments is somewhat larger than the maximal height of the respective arcuate abutment of the second pair of said at least two matching arcuate abutments, and wherein each of said matching arcuate abutments has a rear wall conforming with a supporting face of said respective camber. 
   
   
       8 . A set of adjustable orthopedic insoles as in  claim 7 , wherein each of said arcuate abutments has at least one keying member of the first kind conforming a keying member of the second kind disposed at the bottom face of said respective camber. 
   
   
       9 . A set of adjustable orthopedic insoles as in  claim 7 , wherein each of said footholds has a tarsal support including at least an inclined portion of said base frame adjacent to said supporting face. 
   
   
       10 . A set of adjustable orthopedic insoles as in  claim 7 , wherein each arcuate abutment of at least one of said at least two pairs of arcuate abutments is made of rigid material. 
   
   
       11 . A set of adjustable orthopedic insoles as in  claim 7 , wherein each arcuate abutment of at least one of said at least two arcuate abutments is elongated when stressed. 
   
   
       12 . A set of adjustable orthopedic insoles as in  claim 7 , wherein each said foothold further has a concavity for a metatarsal insert towards the front end. 
   
   
       13 . A method for adjusting orthopedic insoles to a user employing a set of adjustable orthopedic insoles, wherein said set of adjustable orthopedic insoles includes a pair of footholds and at least two pairs of arcuate abutments, said method comprising selecting the most comfortable combination of said footholds and members selected from a group of members, wherein said members are respectively mounted onto said footholds, and wherein said group of members including all the arcuate abutments of said at least two pairs of arcuate abutments and two empty groups, and wherein said foothold has a base frame, a medial arc support and a tarsal support, and wherein a camber located beneath said medial arc support providing clearance between said foothold and a sole of a shoe, and wherein each of said arcuate abutment of each pair is mountable onto a respective camber of said footholds, and wherein the maximal height of each arcuate abutment of the first pair of said at least two pairs of arcuate abutments is somewhat larger than the maximal height of the respective arcuate abutment of the second pair of said at least two arcuate abutments, and wherein a rear wall of each of said arcuate abutments conforms a supporting face of said respective camber. 
   
   
       14 . A method as in  claim 13 , wherein each of said arcuate abutments has at least one keying member of the first kind conforming with a keying member of the second kind disposed at the bottom face of said respective camber. 
   
   
       15 . A method as in  claim 13 , wherein each of said footholds has a tarsal support including at least an inclined portion of said base frame adjacent to said supporting face. 
   
   
       16 . A method as in  claim 13 , wherein each arcuate abutment of at least one of said at least two pairs of arcuate abutments is made of rigid material. 
   
   
       17 . A method as in  claim 13 , wherein each arcuate abutment of at least one of said at least two pairs of arcuate abutments is elongated when stressed. 
   
   
       18 . A method as in  claim 13 , wherein said footholds further have a concavity for a metatarsal insert towards the front end, and wherein said adjusting further comprises inserting at least one of said metatarsal insert into at least said one concavity respectively.
