custom orthotics

After experiencing a foot injury recently, I obtained a pair of custom orthotics at the suggestion of my doctor and with intense consultation with my podiatrist.
Here is a diagram illustrating how the foot fits into an insert:

My orthotics help me combat the strain my low arches put on my toes, tendons, and knees. I feel much bouncier and able to walk or run long distances with these inserts.

I really like the idea of using technology to enhance our bodies to be as healthy as possible. There are so many possibilities in the field of biomedical engineering, and I can't wait to delve deeper into it and see how I can contribute to it.
