Why are they sport specific?
Different sports involve different movements and directional changes relative to the
demands of the particular sport. Some require short sharp directional changes e.g. football or racket sports, whilst in running
efficiency in stance phase to allow the foot to function as a shock absorber and rigid lever (click here to find out more about stance phase of walking or running). As such the mechanics of these movements require different levels of support and control to protect the foot
and increase efficiency (see below).
The direction of forces and their respective regions of support in sporting activities are shown
by the indicative variations of their pressure distribution:
Normal plantar pressures
Anterior shift in pressure
Medial shift in pressure
Lateral shift in pressure
The Novaped range includes insoles or orthotics to control and support relative to these demands
including:
