WHO IS BEHIND PODOKS?
Doctors Alfonso Martinez Nova and Fran Monzo lead a team with more than 30 years of experience in the field of biomechanics and podiatric research. A great hobby and vocation for sports has driven them to design a sock that combines science and experience in career.In this video they explain to us how they made it possible.
WHO IS BEHIND PODOKS?
Dr. Fran Monzo
Expert in biomechanical podiatry, clinical pathology in the sports field and pathology and orthopedics of the lower limb.
He has completed his training in specialization centers at the Complutense University of Madrid, the European University of Madrid and the Miguel Hernández University.
Dr. Alfonso Martinez
He has a diploma and master's degree in surgical podiatry from the University of Barcelona and a degree from the CESPU CRL of Portugal.
He is one of the leading podiatric researchers in technical hosiery, with fifty articles published in leading scientific journals.
David Lucas
David has been chosen as one of the brightest young people under 30 years old by Emprendedores magazine.
He has gone through three of the most important accelerators in Spain: Lanzadera, La Nave and UCAM HiTech. He has developed 7 patents in 4 years and won 2 national awards.
Hallux wedge
Separation and padding of the first toe that provides greater grip at each step activating the muscular function of the foot.
2nd to 5th metatarsal element
Padding in the forefoot from the second to fifth metatarsals relieves the plantar fascia and plantar muscles of the foot, thus reducing fatigue and forefoot pain.
Compression band on arch
Extra compression elastic band increases on the inner arch that provides a greater sensation of support and stability during the walk.
Heel pad
A padded heel reduces the impact while walking, thus increasing the sensation of cushioning.
BEFORE / AFTER
Observe the benefits of using a sock with podoks technology.
(SLIDE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF)
Without Podoks – Plantar pressures in the left foot, wearing his own sock, in a patient with hyperpressure in the first metatarsal head associated with mild hyperkeratosis under it
With Podoks – In the same patient, with the Podoks sock, the normalization of the support pattern in the forefoot is observed, in addition to a separation of the first toe from the second, improving its biomechanical function.
25%
REDUCTION IN PLANTAR PRESSURE
In addition to reducing dynamic plantar pressures under the head of the first metatarsal by 25% thanks to Podoks technology, it also reduces pressure on the first toe by 23% thanks to the Hallux wedge.
