Abstract:
Systems and methods of measuring feet and designing and creating orthopedic inserts are described. A leg length discrepancy of a user is measured and this data, along with foot size are input into a computer. The computer then creates a computer model of a custom shoe insert based on this information. The computer model is then sent to a 3D printer to print the insert. The insert consists of a base insert with partial correction, and several additional layers that are added successively over time until a full correction is obtained. This eliminates any pain associated with a fully corrective insert, and allows the body to adjust gradually to the correction.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of developing at least one orthopedic insert for footwear used by a person, the method comprising:\n measuring and analyzing a spinal column and leg length of the person using digital X-rays; measuring a foot size and shape of a person using a weight-bearing digital X-ray device that takes an image of the person's foot when the person stands on the device; receiving in a computer data defining spinal abnormalities and leg length discrepancy as well as the foot size and shape of the person; designing in the computer via a processor a computer model of an orthopedic insert based on the data input to the computer, the orthopedic insert comprising a base insert having a partial corrective effect and a plurality of separate layers to be applied on top of the base insert, each one of said plurality of separate layers being configured to achieve a further corrective effect when applied on top of the base insert; transmitting the computer model of the orthopedic insert from the computer to a manufacturing device comprising a 3D printer; and making the orthopedic insert comprising the base insert and and plurality of separate layers with the manufacturing device based on the computer model in a single printing process, applying adhesive to each one of the plurality of separate layers, and applying a peel-off backing to the adhesive on each one of the separate layers, so that the separate layers can be applied to the base layer at later times.
