This study adopted three kinds of functional insole produced by the medical assistive device company. The research targets we studied are flatfoot, pes cavus and normal foot. The cause of flatfoot is arch subsidence which results in the unbalance of the foot pressure. The patients feet very paint when they are walking and standing . The heights of the arc of Pes cavus are too high so the foot pressure will focus on forefoot and heel.
