Product introduction

"Grasping" is a movement in which the toes repeatedly repeat "go" (grip) and "par" (open).

【Train the ability to step on by walking and wearing】

The product of this time, you can train the force to step on with your toes by walking by putting projections on the base of the toe of the inner sole and arranging a highly elastic material on the toes.

"Main product features"

○ About inner sole

One surface of the toe part has a highly stereoscopic mesh structure.

2 Designed a toe grip bar (raised shape of a convex shape near the center of the basilar bone of the first to fifth finger) on the front surface.

3 Arrange arch pads in the arch section to support the load.

Maintain stability with 4 heel section in round shape.

By sinking in the toes when kicking out, we are designing that the action of grasping the grasping bar with the toe is born naturally.

In addition to suppressing the wobbling of the body by pressing firmly with the toes, promoting the raising of the arch of the inside of the arch that plays the role of the cushion, it prepares the attitude prepared for the landing impact.

At the time of landing, it reduces the burden on the body due to the round shape that enhances the stability of the heel and the arch pad that suppresses the depression of the arch.

【Efforts with Tachibana University of Kyoto: R & D of joint industry-university】

In collaboration with Kyoto Tachiba University, we investigated the effect of toe morphological abnormality (valgus thumb and floating fingers * etc.) and reduced flexibility on the toe's gripping function as well as standing balance

.

Based on this survey data, we developed the functional inner sole of the raku walk grip series that effectively supports the toe grasping function.

Professor Shin Murata of the Kyoto Tachibana University Health Science Division has already shown quantitatively the toes and sole function as toe grasping force from the viewpoint of prevention of falls of elderly people, weakening toe grasping force is standing balance

It has been reported that it is related to falling and falling.

In addition, it has also revealed that by improving the standing balance by training the toe grasping force, the training is useful for falling prevention.

In this time, we conducted an intervention study (n = 12 / female university student with tendency towards floating fingers) using shoes equipped with functional inner sole which promotes toe gripping exercise jointly developed and enhances sustained training effect.

It showed effective values ​​for the results of toe gripping force and toe flexibility and further statistical analysis showed a trend such as a decrease in the number of floating fingers after intervention compared to before intervention.

As an academic view of this research, these are summarized in a paper as "intervention effects of the inner sole for improving toe grasping function on floating fingers".

※ floating fingers · · · When standing, the toes are floating while the sole of the feet is touching the floor

· Last adoption equivalent to 4E.

· With a hook and loop fastener "Lak" to wear off.

- Flexibility, sole design considering lightweight.

· Kyoto Tachibana University Inner sole to promote the movement of foot jump developed jointly by industry science and health science department and Asics Corporation

- Cleaning with removable inner sole "Lak".

- Reflective material that improves night visibility is used.
