Abstract

As the number of patients suffering from Pes Planus increases, research on a correctional insole that can cope with them is increasingly required. Therefore, the design of an insole for Pes Planus Correction was studied using the superelastic effect, which is one of the characteristics of the shape memory alloy in this paper. To design an effective insole, the effect of the contact pressure induced by the insole on the plantar fascia, which is the most important muscle in the foot structure, was evaluated. Three parameters (thickness, max. height and asymmetric ratio) were set as the main design factors of the insole, and the maximum contact pressure appearing on the plantar fascia was calculated by finite element analysis and analyzed using the Taguchi method. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the contact pressure was influenced in the order of max. height, thickness, and asymmetric ratio. In addition, the contact pressure was converted to a feeling pressure that could be felt by a person, and then a safety correction range was established that would not cause any irritation to the plantar fascias, even though the correction effect could be expected. This indicates the best design for the safety correction range. The design method considering the important factors established through this study can form the basis for designing a personalized correctional insole in the future.

발 질환으로 어려움을 겪는 환자들이 증가하면서 이에 대응할 수 있는 교정용 인솔에 대한 연구가 점점 요구되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 형상기억합금의 특성 중 하나인 초탄성 효과를 이용하여 평발교정용 인솔 설계에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 신발에 인솔을 부착하는 방식을 도입하여 설치된 인솔이 발 구조 중 가장 중요한 근육인 족저근막을 자극할 수 있도록 유도하였다. 족저근막에서 인솔에 의해 유발되는 접촉압을 유한요소법으로 예측하는 방법을 통해 교정 효과를 기대할 수 있는 평발교정용 인솔을 설계하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 인솔의 형상을 결정하는 설계 인자로 세 가지 즉, 인솔의 두께, 최고높이, 앞뒤의 비대칭률을 채택하였다. 세 가지 설계 인자의 영향도를 평가하기 위해 다구찌 최적화 기법을 도입하여 각 인자 간 조합에 따른 족저근막에서의 최대 접촉압을 계산하고 이를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 접촉압을 결정하는데 영향을 많이 주는 설계인자를 순서대로 나열하면 최고높이, 두께, 비대칭률의 순으로 나타났다. 또한, 접촉압을 실제 사람이 느낄 수 있는 인지압으로 변환한 후 교정 효과를 기대할 수 있으면서도 족저근막에 무리를 주지 않는 안전 교정 범위를 설정하였다. 이를 통해 안전 교정 범위에 드는 가장 좋은 설계안을 제안하였다. 본 연구를 통해 확립한 중요인자를 고려한 설계방법은 향후 개인별 맞춤형 교정 인솔을 설계하는 기반이 될 수 있다.
