Abstract
- A patent application has been submitted for a foot orthosis that aims to correct foot malpositions, specifically hallux valgus. The orthosis consists of a toe splint and a metatarsal splint connected by a swivel joint. By exerting corrective forces on the toe and metatarsophalangeal joint, the orthosis treats both symptoms and the underlying cause of the malposition. The swivel joint is designed to reduce pressure on sensitive areas of the foot and allows for a compact and comfortable design. The patent application provides detailed descriptions and claims for the design and functionality of the foot orthosis. [Extracted from the article]
