Abstract

Heel pain and plantar fasciitis are conjoint musculoskeletal conditions that cause distress in daily activities. It makes people uncomfortable and may cause distress. A one-line treatment available for such distress conditions is a customized heel pad. It is subjected to repetitive loading and plays an imperative part in absorbing shocks that may cause injuries. Another pharma-based solution available is the application of ointment on the heel. There are a number of ointments for massaging the heel, prescribed by physicians for the reduction of heel pain. The delinquent is using either of the treatment alone will reduce the pain but it is considered as a slow treatment. The central idea is based on combing both solutions together on one platform for the profligate way out of heel pain. A microcontroller-based smart heal pad with a built-in ointment discharge system. The heel sole is placed on the therapeutic platform. The therapeutic platform releases the ointment in the sole according to the desire of the user. There is a reservoir that automatically releases the ointment based on feedback provided by the user. The control ointment release from the reservoir is controlled by a motor. The therapeutic platform encompasses the massaging ball under the heel sole. Subsequently, when the massaging treatment has been done, the sole that contains orthoses can be disengaged from the massaging platform and can be positioned in the shoe of the user. The use of orthoses along with ointment will be proved as a fast-pain-relieving contrivance for the patient. It can save the person from physical therapy. This will prove as a user-friendly treatment for the effective relief of heel pain.
