Abstract

There are various approaches to providing patients with orthopedic shoes. This may be the selection or customization of ready-made orthopedic shoes according to a specific deformation, or custom production of shoes. In any case, the selection of a shoe model requires an integrated approach, since when working with each new patient, specialists are faced with various factors. The most important indicator of the effectiveness of orthopedic shoes is the compliance of its inner shape with the parameters of the foot in the correction position. When selecting ready-made shoes, an assessment of the degree of compliance of shoe parameters with foot data is especially relevant, since it allows determining whether ready-made shoes are suitable or custom production is required. The aim of this study is to develop a scientifically based approach to the selection and customization of orthopedic shoes based on assessing the degree of compliance of its inner shape with the anthropometric data of the feet. One of the objectives of the study is to develop an algorithm for selecting shoes. To do this, an analysis of the selection of ready-made shoes and models for custom production was carried out taking into account various factors. The features of orthopedic shoes, methods for obtaining anthropometric information, technological features of production were also studied. As a result of the study, an algorithm for the selection and customization of orthopedic shoes was developed. The research results can be applied as a basis for the further development of approaches to the selection of shoes for mass production and mass customization using modern digital technologies.
