Study 01

PLANTAR PRESSURES

The 25% reduction in pressure under the first metatarsal when you wear a PODOKS sock is very important since it will help you relieve pain in that metatarsal area (sesamoiditis) and will generate a situation of less tension in the plantar fascia, ligaments and muscles of the sole of the foot during your daily life and sporting activity. You can access this study and study it in more depth from here: study on dynamic plantar pressures in the medial plantar forefoot.

Study 02

PAIN IN PATIENTS WITH PLANTAR FASCITIS

The reduction in heel pain or plantar fasciitis after using the PODOKS sock improved the quality of life of many of the patients who participated in the study while using PODOKS. Patients choose the PODOKS sock as a complement to their podiatric treatment with orthopedic insoles and as a sock of choice for their workplace due to the effect of unloading the sole of the foot that they feel at the end of the day.

Study 03

REDUCTION IN NEWTONS OF THE FORCE TO RAISE THE BIG TOE DURING THE WINDLASS MECHANISM.

It has been shown that when you put on a PODOKS sock, the mobility of the first metatarsophalangeal joint or big toe joint during sports activity is improved. This means, on the one hand, a more natural take-off during the race since we use the impulse lever like the big toe more effectively and, on the other hand, it has been shown that better mobility of the big toe (less joint stiffness) It is associated with a mechanical situation of lower tension in the plantar fascia and plantar muscles and its corresponding decrease in muscle fatigue in the sole of the foot after sporting activity.

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.
