Described is an exercise tool. More particularly, it is a therapy and exercise tool specifically devised as a foot-therapy and toe-aligning device to align, separate, and stretch toes. The foot-therapy and toe-aligning device comprises a frame with a plurality of posts connected with the frame. The device is formed of an elastic material such that a user may place at least one of the plurality of posts between a user's toes and pull the post to stretch and elongate the post between the toes. Upon release, the elastic material of the post causes the post to attempt to return to its original shape, thereby causing it to expand out and conform its shape to fit snugly against the user's toes. Additionally, the elastic material allows the toe posts to be positioned and maintained at numerous locations between the user's toes for customizable positioning between the toes.

A hallux valgus orthopedic supporter which enables comfortable wear for a long time is disclosed. In the hallux valgus orthopedic supporter, in which a supporting member 10 is configured to be worn around a tarsus by applying a supporting member body 11 to vicinity of a heel, placing each of a first protruding part 12 and a second protruding part 13 from left-and-right side of an instep to upper side of the instep with the second protruding part 13 overlapping an outer surface of the first protruding part 12 and fastening a second touch fastener 15 to a first touch fastener 14, and a big-toe sheath 20 is configured to be pulled backward by attaching a rear end of a traction band 30 to medial side of the supporting member body 11, a tip-side edge area of the first protruding part 12 and a tip-side edge area of the first touch fastener 14 have substantially the same arc-like shape and are overlaid.

Disclosed herein are a method and system for producing a digital model of a customised device, comprising the steps of: importing a first digital file of a base part; importing a second digital file of a target shape; determining a warping interpolation function based on source point positions associated with the base part and target point positions associated with the target shape; and applying the warping interpolation function to the points of said base part to generate a model of said customised device.

The invention relates to a thumb orthosis (2). The thumb orthosis (2) consists of a spreading body (1) which in particular has a bending elasticity and which serves for spreading a thumb (26) and a pointer finger (27). Furthermore, the thumb orthosis (2) comprises holding devices (22, 23) by which an end portion (28) of the spreading body (1) can be held at the thumb (26) as well as an end portion (29) of the spreading body (1) can be held at the pointer finger (27). The thumb orthosis (2) is exclusively held by the two holding devices (22, 23) at the hand (24) of the user wearing the thumb orthosis (2).
