Abstract

Sports play a great role in human life as it keeps body healthy and active.Youngest and adults involved in sports.The great shock absorber of the insole for the foot is important to reduce the foot pain while doing sports.For normal feet,it is not the big issue when doing sports,but for flat feet person,they undergo high-risk associate on foot pain,foot problems while doing sports activities such as running.This project presents electromyography sensing on tibialis and peroneus muscle against improvised flat feet orthotic insole .The main characteristics of orthotics insole design are sufficient arch support,heel pad,metatarsal pads and deep heel cup. Ergonomics length,width and thickness of orthotics insole are based on the survey questionnaire of Malaysian standards foot size that has been distributed online.The foot plantar pressure analysis is obtained to research the highest pressure on plantar foot area.The process fabricating the orthotics insole is divided into two which are wood moulding process.Flexifoam X is used in fabricating the improvised orthotic insole for flat feet. The comparison was made on fabricated orthotics insole with the existing orthotics insole that comes from the different material.Both of the orthotics insoles are evaluated and compared against the measured data of electromyography (EMG) at tibialis anterior and peroneus longus that generated by the muscle strength responsible for the lower limb movement.The sult shown that fabricated insole showed a bit of improvement based on the electromyography sensing testing on muscle fatique compare to the existing insole.
