ErgoPad system:s PowerDots

Over 80 percent of all foot deformities have an underlying hypotonic muscular tension condition – i.e. a reduced capacity of the skeletal musculature. Arch decreased and splay foot are similarly common conditions. For these symptoms Bauerfeind offers the ErgoPad system:s soft foam foot orthosis with a muscle-stimulating PowerDots cushion layer. When worn on a daily basis it improves coordination, sense of balance and muscular stability.

Muscle-stimulating cushion layer for hypotonic symptoms
Combination with ErgoPad system:s soft foam foot orthosis
Suitable for normal shoes during leisure and everyday activities

Product details

Beneficial impulses for feet and musculature

The elements of the PowerDots cushion layer revitalize the musculature in the sole of the foot and follow the rising chains of muscles. The slightly raised pads send sensorimotor stimuli to muscles, tendons and joints, thereby optimizing posture and coordination. Starting from the feet, the foot orthoses bring the body back into balance.

The massage effect of the PowerDots relaxes the sole of the foot and the calf. The precisely measured stimulus near the little toes and in the metatarsal and hindfoot area influences the muscular and tendon structures of the foot. The mechanical impulses can strengthen weakened musculature and thereby stabilize the lower ankle.

During movement there is a repeated stimulus so that every step actively harmonizes the body structure and permanently improves the posture. The optimized coordination of the chains of muscles helps the body achieve greater stability and improves coordination and the sense of balance.

Designs and uses/indications

The PowerDots cushion layer is combined with the base layer B from ErgoPad system:s and offered in sizes 35 to 48. In addition to the glued version, the cushion layer is also available as “top layer separate” in the familiar ErgoPad system:s shape (sizes 35-48).

Technical details

Special features

PowerDots elements stimulate the musculature of the sole of the foot and the continuing trunk and spinal musculature.
The light, nubbed texture also improves the sensory perception on the soles of the feet during walking.*

Uses/indications

Adults of all ages with degenerative, hypotonic muscles, i.e. reduced capacity of the skeletal musculature (muscle tone)
Adults with particular awareness of health issues
Those interested in muscle-stimulating foot orthosis care
For leisure and everyday life

Serviceable life

A slight reduction in the height of the spots is normal and depends on the load. Regular checking of the functional properties by an orthotist is recommended.

Cleaning instructions

Wipe the top of the orthosis using a mild cleaner/disinfectant if necessary.
Not machine-washable
Do not expose to direct heat (heater, direct sunlight)
Allow to air dry

Medical details

Main indications

Orthopedic orthoses with PowerDots are suitable for hypotonic symptoms.

Harmonizes posture and movement
Relaxes the muscles in the sole of the foot and the calf
Improved stability, coordination and sense of balance

Mode of action

Proprioceptive foot orthoses stimulate the muscles that influence the foot by stimulating the body’s own sensorimotor system “from the inside”. The sensorimotor system guides and controls movements on the basis of sensory feedback (stimuli). In the human body, it provides extremely important information for the sense of balance and the powers of coordination. The sensory cells in skin, muscles, tendons and joint capsules are stimulated by reflex, thereby improving sensitivity to position in space, muscular tension and the posture of the entire body. The mechanical impulses of the PowerDots cushion layer improve self-perception (deep sensitivity) and help to reduce the muscular response time and latency period.
