Scientists of St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design have created a shoe constructor that allows real-time adaptation of the anatomical shape of shoes to correct motor disorders.

The results of the research were presented at the national congress "Rehabilitation - XXI century: traditions and innovations".

Stereotypic movement disorder is a common condition among patients with cerebral palsy, which is a serious problem in the field of medicine and social welfare. In addition to surgical methods and rehabilitation programs, patients can be prescribed orthopedic devices and special shoes to correct motor disorders during walking. However, in Russia, the creation of individual footwear for such correction is practically unavailable due to the lack of a scientific base, laboratory conditions for studying the influence of footwear features on the biomechanics of walking, and limited possibilities for its manufacture. It is important to note that a significant portion of the population also suffers from other musculoskeletal disorders associated with a more sedentary lifestyle, age and other diseases.

"A shoe designer was developed that allows real-time customization of the anatomical shape of the shoe to correct movement disorders. The shoe designer was easy to use. Using a video analysis system, a technique was developed to record kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographic data. Changes in shoe design features influenced the biomechanical walking pattern. This shoe designer may allow in the future to correct minor movement disorders, to select and manufacture individual shoes", - said Ekaterina Nekrasova, a specialist of the laboratory of scientific biomechanics of movement of 草榴短视频.

The study was tested on volunteers whose leg muscle movements were recorded using high-speed infrared cameras. Along with this, electromyographic and kinetic data were recorded. Six muscles of the lower limbs were recorded: calf, lateralis, cambulus, tibialis anterior, rectus femoris and biceps femoris.
