An insole with a medial arch support and a metatarsal (M.T) bar is a type of orthotic designed to provide targeted support and relief for common foot problems.Â
Key Features and Benefits:
- Medial Arch Support:
- Function: This raised area along the inside edge of the insole helps support the natural curve of the arch. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with flat feet or those experiencing overpronation (when the foot rolls inward excessively while walking or running).
- Benefit: It helps realign the foot to a natural position, reducing strain on the arch, heel, and even the knees and lower back [1].
- Metatarsal (M.T) Bar:
- Function: This is a raised bump or pad located just behind the ball of the foot (the metatarsal heads). It works by redistributing pressure away from the sensitive forefoot area and encourages a proper push-off during the gait cycle.
- Benefit: It provides relief from conditions such as metatarsalgia (pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot), neuromas (nerve pain, often associated with Morton’s neuroma), and general forefoot painÂ
