Function & Risk Description for sensosocks & seso sole
This overview describes the functional application of the individual spots, the potential benefits for users, as well as important risks and notes. It applies to sensosocks and seso sole.
sensosocks and seso sole are supportive products and do not replace medical, therapeutic, or individualized orthopedic treatment. In case of persistent complaints, pain, unusual pressure sensation, or uncertainty, discontinue use and seek professional advice.
Spot 3 – Flatfoot / Pes Valgus
Symptoms
Lowered arch of the foot or an inward-tilting foot position.
How it works
Spot 3 creates targeted, punctual support in the area of the medial longitudinal arch. The highest pressure point is slightly towards the heel, while the midfoot is gently supported with a gradual transition. This can help to distribute the load in the foot more favorably and positively influence foot posture.
Additionally, proprioceptive stimuli can be generated, supporting neuromuscular interaction and body perception.
Potential Benefits
- Can support stabilization of the longitudinal arch
- Can contribute to the relief of ligaments, tendons, and muscles
- Can support body perception through sensory stimuli
- Can positively influence load distribution in the foot
Unusual or overly intense use may lead to pressure sensation or muscular fatigue. In case of persistent discomfort, discontinue use and seek professional advice.
Spot 4 – Splayfoot & High Arch Foot
Symptoms
Altered load in the forefoot as well as a lowered or raised transverse arch.
How it works
Spot 4 provides targeted support in the area of the transverse arch. By punctually raising the midfoot area, the load distribution in the forefoot can be influenced.
This can help to reduce pressure peaks and support the natural rolling motion of the foot.
Potential Benefits
- Can support stabilization of the transverse arch
- Can contribute to relief in the forefoot area
- Can influence pressure distribution in the foot
- Can support the natural rolling motion
Improper positioning can lead to localized pressure points. In case of persistent discomfort, the application should be reviewed.
Spot 1 & 2 – Heel Complaints
Symptoms
Pressure sensitivity in the heel area or load-dependent heel pain.
How it works
Spots 1 and 2 create a slight elevation in the heel area. This can change and more evenly distribute the pressure load in the heel area. At the same time, the tensile load on adjacent structures can be influenced.
Potential Benefits
- Can reduce pressure load in the heel area
- Can contribute to the relief of adjacent structures
- Can improve comfort when standing and walking
Incorrect positioning can cause pressure points. In case of persistent discomfort, professional advice should be sought.
Spot 6 & 7 – Calf Cramps & Plantar Fascia
Symptoms
Feeling of tension in the sole of the foot, load-dependent discomfort in the area of the sole of the foot, or calf tension.
How it works
Spots 6 and 7 can create a slight functional activation in the area of the toes. This can influence the tension in the sole of the foot and provide proprioceptive stimuli to the muscles of the lower extremity.
This can support the interaction between foot and calf muscles.
Potential Benefits
- Can influence tension in the sole of the foot
- Can support neuromuscular activity
- Can improve gait and movement coordination
Overly intense use can lead to muscle soreness. In case of severe discomfort, use should be reduced or paused.
Spot 1 & 2 – Achilles Tendon Area
Symptoms
Load-dependent discomfort in the Achilles tendon area.
How it works
By inserting Spots 1 and 2, a slight heel lift can be created. This can help to reduce the tensile load in the Achilles tendon area and influence the load situation in daily life.
Potential Benefits
- Can influence the load on the Achilles tendon
- Can contribute to relief during repetitive strain
- Can support daily movement patterns
Continuous use should be individually adjusted. In case of persistent discomfort, professional advice should be sought.
Spot 7 – Toe Complaints
Symptoms
Pressure sensitivity in the toe area or restricted toe activity.
How it works
Spot 7 provides targeted support in the toe area. This can influence the pressure distribution in the forefoot and support the perception of toe position.
Potential Benefits
- Can influence pressure distribution in the toe area
- Can support toe activity
- Can improve wearing comfort in shoes
Improper size or positioning can cause pressure points. The effect varies individually.
Spot 1 & 3 – Leg Axis, X-Tendency
Symptoms
Inward-directed leg axis or increased load on the outer knee area.
How it works
The combination of Spots 1 and 3 can change the load distribution in the foot. This can help to influence the alignment of the lower extremity when standing and moving, and to distribute the load in the knee area.
Potential Benefits
- Can support leg axis alignment
- Can influence load distribution in the knee
- Can promote stability when standing and walking
The effect is limited in cases of pronounced deformities. Incorrect positioning can lead to pressure points.
Spot 2 & 5 – Leg Axis, O-Tendency
Symptoms
Outward-directed leg axis or increased load on the inner knee area.
How it works
By inserting Spots 2 and 5, the load in the outer foot area can be influenced. This can help to redistribute the overall load on the lower extremity and support leg axis alignment.
Potential Benefits
- Can influence load distribution in the leg
- Can support stability when standing and moving
- Can promote awareness of body posture
The effect varies individually. Incorrect use can lead to localized pressure points. sensosocks and seso sole are a supplementary measure.
