Effect of foot orthoses on the mechanical energetics of the subtalar joint during walking

open access: yes, 2017
Foot orthoses are commonly used in the management of overuse conditions in the lower limb. Mechanically, foot orthoses have been shown to result in only small lower-limb kinematic effects.

Podiatry interventions in the rheumatoid foot

open access: yes, 2005
This review assessed the effectiveness of podiatry interventions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The authors reported that foot orthoses and adaptations to hosiery and footwear design appear to have a beneficial effect in terms of foot pain ...

Foot biomechanical modelling to study orthoses influence

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceSeveral pathologies of the foot can be solved simply by adding an orthosis under the patient's foot. Defining the geometry and the size of such orthosis is key in optimizing its influence on the foot.

Biomechanical Strategies to Improve Running: Cadence, Footwear, and Orthoses—A Quasi-Experimental Study

open access: yesSensors
Background: Running-related injuries are often associated with biomechanical inefficiencies, particularly in the sagittal and frontal planes. This study evaluates the effects of three interventions—reduced heel-to-toe drop (HTD) shoes, increased cadence,

Effects of Foot Orthoses on Skeletal Motion During Running

open access: yes, 2000
Objective. To quantify the effects of medial foot orthoses on skeletal movements of the calcaneus and tibia during the stance phase in running. Design. Kinematic effects of medial foot orthoses (anterior, posterior, no support) were tested using skeletal

Effects of foot orthoses on patellofemoral load in recreational runners

open access: yes, 2015
The most common chronic injury in recreational runners is patellofemoral pain. Whilst there is evidence to suggest that orthotic intervention may reduce symptoms in runners who experience patellofemoral pain the mechanism by which their clinical effects ...

A Comparison the spatiotemporal efficiency of two designs of Posterior Leaf Spring (PLS) and pneumatic damper ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) in drop foot

open access: yesFunction and Disability Journal, 2019
Background: Drop foot syndrome is a disorder with foot slapping after the initial contact and foot-dragging during the swing phase. Passive and hybrid passive ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are often prescribed in these patients.

Physical and Mechanical Therapies for Lower Limb Problems in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research
Objective To systematically review the evidence for physical (for e.g. strengthening) and mechanical (for e.g. foot orthoses) therapies for lower limb problems in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Foot Orthoses: A Review focusing on kinematics

open access: yes, 2011
Orthoses have been broadly used by clinicians to treat mechanical misalignments, such as abnormal foot pronation. As such, the influences of orthoses on lower-limb kinematics have been studied numerous times, with many articles reporting nonsystematic ...
