Abstract:
The feet are the most important part of the human body which assist us to
perform basic tasks in our daily lives. However, we depend on our feet for
various activities such as our choices in lifestyle habits, injuries, accidents, and
choice of therapeutic and functional footwear. Our feet can develop deformities
that make everyday performance a difficult task.
Foot deformity is a congenital (by birth) or acquired condition that involves
structural abnormalities or muscle imbalances that affect the function of the
foot. It seriously influences the quality of life of people as it leads to severe
strain in bones, tendons, or ligaments of the foot.
This report states the problems of foot deformity which leads to wearing
therapeutic or orthopedic footwear, behavior towards footwear and awareness
of wearing the right type of footwear for comfort and fit. Also included herein is
the development process which includes the design and structure to meet the
needs of the wide target group.
