Application of semi reverse innovative design for a boot’s shoes orthotic for children with club foot

Abstract

Club foot is one of the foot deformities due to genetic factors, diseases, the condition of pregnant women is too small, or the result of a marriage that has a kinship. For every 1000 normal childbirths, there is usually one birth of a child with a leg like this. Children with this leg shape often have difficulty doing daily activities. In this paper, the prosthetic limbs used by children with clubfoot are very uncomfortable and often cause excessive pain. This paper comprehensively explains the process of designing boots for club sufferers using a semi-reverse innovative design (semi RID) method. The collaboration of 3D replica with Handyscann 700 TM is used to get 3D mesh foot models with. STL format that is truly precise and accurate. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) with PowerShape 2019i software is used in this paper to get a variety of shoe lasts and insole designs that are truly precise and accurate according to the foot contours of clubfoot children. The results showed the error tolerance geometry was less than 5.0 mm for each dimension.
