Application example

Insole for rheumatics

Diagnosis: Rheumatism

Patient: approx. 80 kg

Characteristics: severe pain when placing the foot

Used material: Lunatec combi motion 1.

The composite sheet consists of the cushioning layer Lunatec motion (6 mm) and a stabilising layer of Lunasoft SL (10 mm).

Treatment goal

Minimise shearing forces between the footbed and the sole, and in this manner alleviate the pain.

Lunatec motion is a new type of EVA material that absorbs shearing forces with every foot step and beds extremely soft because of its hardness of approx. 10 Shore A. Therefore it is above all for patients with painful foot or joint diseases, e.g. rheumatism. The soft feel enables the patient to consciously place their feet, despite previous periods of pain.

Manufacture

Because of the material choice, the composite sheet Lunatec combi motion 1, the manufacturing of an insole for rheumatics is fairly simple and executed in only a few steps.

Draw and cut Lunatec combi motion 1 with an extra of 1.5 cm of material.
Warm up the material in a closed heating source
Setting oven: 130°C | 260°F
Heating time: approx. 10 minutes
For heat moulding put the material over the last in a vacuum press. Press on it.
Cool down completely so material will stay in shape permanently.
Cooling time: approx. 20 minutes
Grind insole to shape.

Valuable tips

To intensify the soft cushioning effect, it is recommended to use the material without an additional top layer.
A feeling of firmer standing can be obtained when a top layer of leather or EVA is put on – without
compromise to the minimisation of shearing forces by the Lunatec motion layer.
Recommendation for higher weight ranges: Stabilisation in the rear foot with Lunasoft AL (approx. 52 Shore A)
