There are lots kind of foot illness, for example, Pes cavus, Flat foot, bunion, pronation, supination, corns, plantar fasciitis and osteophyte etc. Orthopedists, Physiatrists and Physiotherapists have investigated deeply on the foot illness in order to find the methods to solve the problem . 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. In my study, foot shapes and foot pressure of the normal subjects and patients are investigated. We used the three kinds of functional insoles for the subjects. Keyword: Flat foot, Pes cavus, Foot Pressure, Insole
