The DSIS Sorbo Mediful Insole is designed to address foot problems.
Highly rated in the medical field.
This full insole, trusted and highly evaluated in the medical field for issues related to the feet, knees, and lower back, features the use of shock-absorbing material "Sorbo Sain" across its entire surface. It incorporates three arch supports to enhance toe function and reduce foot troubles.
◆ Features of the DSIS Sorbo Mediful Insole
- Equipped with the maximum amount of Sorbo Sain in the DSIS insole- Quickly deforms upon impact to absorb pressure, then slowly returns to shape- Distributes pressure evenly, fitting gently to the human body- DSIS pads improve mobility and help reduce foot problems
The DSIS Sorbo Mediful Insole contains more Sorbo Sain at the same thickness as regular DSIS insoles. Although it weighs approximately 100g per foot, its effectiveness is maximized within the DSIS series. It is highly regarded by those suffering from issues such as plantar fasciitis, painful accessory bones, sesamoid disorders, as well as knee and lower back pain, and by individuals who stand for long periods.
◆ What is DSIS?
"Walk healthily and actively forever!"
This is the purpose of the DSIS insole.
DSIS adjusts the movement of the foot using this insole and supports the "three arches" of the sole. This allows toes to be used properly, promotes rhythmic walking, and reduces foot fatigue. It is an insole feedback from the medical field.
◆ Focus on Dynamic Balance During Walking
Humans have evolved to walk upright on two legs. About a quarter of the body's bones are in the feet. Walking involves landing on the heel, using the arch to shift the center of gravity forward, and pushing off with the toes. This is dynamic balance during gait.
The DSIS insole absorbs shocks and reliably supports the transfer of the center of gravity to the heel, arch, and toes.
Moreover, the shock-absorbing material Sorbo Sain is designed to have the same shock absorption properties as skin and muscles, so it does not burden the body.
When using the DSIS insole, impact on the heel is reduced, and the arch is effectively utilized to transfer the center of gravity to the toes. Proper walking line creates healthy feet.
Without it, impact on the heel is greater, the center of gravity shifts outside the correct walking line, resulting in weaker toe push-off. This can lead to heel pain, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and other issues. It may also cause sprains, and due to unstable balance, put strain on the knees and lower back. Not only the feet but also the knees and hips are at higher risk of problems.
◆ What is Sorbo Sain?
A viscoelastic polymer compound with IPNs (Interpenetrating Polymer Networks) structure, similar molecular structure to skin and muscles. It is called artificial muscle due to its properties.
◆ Three Features of Sorbo Sain
1. Unique shock absorption and body pressure dispersion performance
- Its molecular structure similar to skin and muscles gently and effectively absorbs impact. It fits well and comfortably even after long-term use.
2. Does not deteriorate or become embedded
- Its molecular structure ensures shock absorption and pressure dispersion. Unlike foam materials like ECA, it does not deteriorate over time. It also does not burden the body like silicone.
3. Antibacterial and hygienic performance
- Sorbo Sain has excellent antibacterial properties, suppressing bacterial growth and maintaining hygiene.
(According to antibacterial testing based on JIS Z2801 by the Kakentei Test Center)
◆ Insoles Used in Medical Settings
Insoles are called foot orthoses or insoles in medical practice. Their purpose is to distribute pressure on painful areas and reduce the burden on the foot.
They also prevent and correct deformities of the sole, guiding the foot and posture into proper alignment. The goal is to improve symptoms by enabling the foot to function correctly.
Sorbo DSIS pads, used in medical settings, are also incorporated into Sorbo insoles. Certified foot care control trainers, with specialized qualifications, counsel customers on their foot condition and create custom insoles to help improve foot problems.
◆ Plantar Fasciitis and Insoles
The plantar fascia is a thick ligament running from the inside of the heel to the front of the foot, playing a vital role in maintaining the arch. When inflamed, it causes pain in the sole and makes walking difficult. Causes of plantar fasciitis vary, including overexertion from jogging or running, or sometimes occurring without specific cause in middle-aged and older individuals. Treatment involves anti-inflammatory therapy and prescribing insoles to reduce load on the plantar fascia.
◆ Accessory Navicular and Insoles
An accessory navicular is an extra bone. It protrudes on the outer side of the navicular bone (just below the inner ankle, slightly forward, palpable by touch) and can cause pain. It is often seen in flat-footed individuals and children. Treatment includes anti-inflammatory therapy and prescribing insoles to reduce tension in the posterior tibial tendon.
◆ Sesamoid Bone Disorders and Insoles
Sesamoids are small bones within tendons that serve as pivot points for joint movement. Two sesamoid bones are located at the base of the big toe. They bear significant load during weight-bearing and can develop sesamoiditis. Treatment involves anti-inflammatory therapy and prescribing insoles to reduce load on the sesamoids.
◆ Birth of the DSIS Sorbo Mediful from Medical Feedback
We developed this product focusing on the three arches of the foot around the arch of the instep, in collaboration with Dr. Toshihiko Uchida, a medical doctor (orthopedic surgeon), member of the Japan Shoe Medical Society, and a councilor of the Japan Foot Surgery Society. Together with the non-profit organization Orthotics Society, founded by Dr. Uchida, we have promoted product development and awareness activities. The DSIS Sorbo Mediful is born from these activities. The product name "Mediful" reflects its origin in the medical field.
The "DSIS" system, devised by our NPO Orthotics Society, aims to adjust foot movement with this insole to reduce foot troubles. It is an insole feedback from the medical field—"DSIS Sorbo Mediful."
