Background
A rigid insole is an orthotic device that is used to help the wearer correct abnormal foot posture or provide additional support. If not addressed, poor foot posture can cause foot, ankle, knee, or back pain, as well as more permanent issues. Customized insoles can be prescribed or recommended to a patient by a podiatrist, or another medical professional with proficiency in biomechanics. Generic versions can be purchased over the counter to address common self- diagnosable conditions.
Sample Sourcing
EXTERNAL TESTING SAMPLES
Three samples were used for each test; one from Formlabs, one from HP, and one traditionally manufactured from polypropylene. Details on each sample can be found in the table below. Each sample was created using the same model provided to us by Gespodo and shares the same dimensions (2 mm thickness from center to edge). That model can be found here.
