What is the purpose of placing wedges under the feet?

purpose of placing wedges

We have designed some wedges that can be used for the soles of the feet. Perhaps some people may not understand their purpose, so let’s discuss it today.

1. Correcting foot alignment

Wedges can be used to address issues related to foot alignment, such as overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the foot) or supination (excessive outward rolling of the foot). By placing wedges under the feet, the alignment can be adjusted to promote a more neutral foot position, improving stability and reducing the risk of injuries.

2. Addressing leg length discrepancies

Leg length discrepancies, where one leg is shorter than the other, can lead to gait abnormalities and imbalances. Placing wedges under the shorter leg can help compensate for the difference in length and promote a more even gait pattern.

3. Providing support and stability

Wedges can offer additional support and stability to the feet, especially in cases where there are underlying foot conditions or injuries. They can help distribute pressure more evenly across the foot, reduce strain on specific areas, and provide a more comfortable and supportive base.

4. Enhancing performance

In sports, wedges can be used to optimize biomechanics and enhance performance. By adjusting the foot position, they can improve alignment. Reduce energy loss, and enhance power transfer during activities such as running, jumping, or cutting movements.

Now you understand its purpose, right? We have designed it in different shapes to meet different needs. If you are interested in these wedges, you can continue to visit this page (https://www.aideastep.com/heel-pads/) and tell us your needs.
