Dutch chartered physiotherapist turns inventor.

2008-01-24T13:28:00.000-08:00

We are always pleasantly surprised at the sheer variety of employment settings Registered Nurses and Healthcare Professionals work within.

We believe in the future nurses and healthcare professionals will be involved more and more in the creation of clinical services to patients within the community as well as innovative projects related to healthcare in the commercial environment.

On our search for the most creative use of a professional healthcare education and clinical experience gained as a healthcare professional, we discovered Adri Hartveld, a Dutch chartered physiotherapist now living in the UK.

Adri has developed a completely unique sole structure for running shoes to make running more enjoyable and most importantly designed to reduce the risk of injuries.

Extract from related research.

Hartveld developed Healus Technology shoes with its Heelless Shoe with Force Transmission, Slant Sole TM, Sole Force Distribution TM and Sense Enhancement TM features, which encourages the runner to strike the ground with a plantar flexed ankle. The aim of this shoe construction is to increase the distance over which the calcaneus is decelerated and therefore to decrease the vertical ground reaction forces on foot strike. Healus Technology shoes have a compliant midsole which allows the ankle to dorsal flex during the first part of the stance phase to aid in the gradual deceleration of the downwards movement of the body.

We wish you lots of success with this new technology and design.
