Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of 3D printed insoles versus prefabricated insoles in otherwise healthy subjects with flatfoot condition. The main question it aims to answer is: - If 3D printed insoles are better in terms of fit, weight, durability, comfort, and effectiveness compared to prefabricated insoles. - If 3D printed insoles are better in terms of reducing pain compared to prefabricated insoles. Participants will be divided in two groups. One group will receive 3D printed insoles and other group will wear prefabricated insoles for four weeks. After four weeks, researchers will record their feedback about their insoles which will help them to compare the two insoles.
Inverted orthosis is a type of rigid foot orthosis that was designed to aid in controlling high degrees of foot pronation. It is essential to administer patients foot orthoses with different inverted angles, with higher angles prescribed when greater reduction of foot pronation is indicated. However, there is shortage of clinical knowledge regarding the inverted angle in terms of biomechanical changes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different inverted angles of foot orthoses on the walking kinematics in females with flexible flatfeet.
Pesplanus, commonly known as 'flatfoot,' is a common pathomechanical condition characterized by a lowered medial longitudinal arch (MLA) and exaggerated pronation. There are two general types of flatfoot : flexible flatfoot and rigid flatfoot Flexible flatfoot is the most common form of flat foot. In adult population, it was reported that prevalence of flexible flatfeet is 13.6%. It has been proved that there is static and dynamic balance deficit in the participants with flatfeet. The extrinsic muscles as posterior tibialis (TP) ) and intrinsic muscles as abductor hallucis (AbdH) act as active subsystem support for the MLA during weight-bearing, standing, and walking. Abnormal alignment of the foot may cause stretch weakness of the foot muscles by elongating beyond the neutral physiological resting position. leading to musculoskeletal dysfunction and overuse injuries. Insoles can assist in maintaining normal alignment of the foot, improve balance as it supports MLA which is essential to stabilize postural sway, they widen the contact surface of the sole of the foot improving stability.
Orthotic therapy or exercise therapy is the standard conservative treatment for flexible flat foot. Little is known about the effectiveness of their interaction on managing flatfoot. The study aims to evaluate the effect of insoles and short foot exercise on the height and area of the medial longitudinal arch of flexible flatfoot participants as well as the force and pressure.
The aim of present study is to compare the effects of 3D printing customized insoles using different thermoplastic materials on functional flatfoot patients' foot function and biomechanics
Determine the effects of non-custom made foot orthoses on the kinematics, muscle activity and joint contact force after fatigue and compare the rate of fatigue in flexible flat foot with and without foot orthoses
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficay of functional plantar orthoses on flatfoot in children.
