The Foot, 1996
Abstract This paper outlines the rationale for the provision of foot orthoses for paediatric patients with biomechanical foot disorders. It examines the gait and normal morphology of children and then presents some of the more common foot deformities. These are presented together with their effects on the whole of the weightbearing chain to reinforce

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1982
In brief: Orthoses can be used inside downhill ski boots to aid in parallel skiing. Small degrees of imbalance become significant when they affect the skier's posture and ability to turn. The author explains how orthoses, cants between the boot and the ski, and posts correct biomechanical deformities including tibial varus and valgus, subtalar varus ...

The Foot, 2000
Abstract The conservative management of foot disorders may involve the prescription of appropriate foot orthoses. Most foot disorders are mechanical in origin and mechanical therapy has a vital role in their management, even if surgery is not required.

Custom Foot Orthoses for Running
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2001This article reviews the epidemiology of running injuries, the rationale and application of custom foot orthoses for running, and the design and material choices for fabrication in one laboratory. In an age of evidence-based medicine, much research must be done to look further at foot orthotic efficacy and how these devices contribute to an injury ...

The advantages of a multidisciplinary team are lost without well-executed foot orthosis fabrication and shoe modification. The purpose of this chapter is to provide the foot orthosis recommendations for common sports injuries of the foot. This includes shoe modifications and custom foot orthoses based on specific diagnoses.

Foot Orthoses in Sports Medicine
Southern Medical Journal, 2004Annotation: In today’s age of sports medicine, there is real focus on biomechanics, proprioception, and kinesthetic awareness. This facilitates prevention and treatment of foot and ankle as well as more proximal injuries, and has led to an increase in the use of foot orthoses. Competitive and recreational leg-based sports frequently require orthosis to

Outcome of Orthoses Intervention in the Rheumatoid Foot
Foot & Ankle International, 2003This study was carried out to determine the effect of foot orthoses on pain, gait, and energy expenditure in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Eighteen patients were evaluated for these parameters. Each patient was given a foot insert or shoe modification suitable for his or her foot deformity.

Shape Memory Ankle–Foot Orthoses
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018Electrically actuated ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) were designed and prototyped using shape memory textile composites. Acrylic copolymers were synthesized as the matrix to demonstrate shape memory effects, whereas electrothermal fabrics were embedded to generate uniform heat as a trigger. Superior to conventional polymeric orthoses, shape memory AFOs (SM-

Foot orthoses and dental appliances—Is there a relationship?
The Foot, 2009This investigation was aimed at examining whether subjects who wear a combination of functional foot orthoses and dental appliances have less postural sway and furthermore to study if these changes are direction dependent.Centre of pressure (CoP) displacement in seven subjects, mean age 49 range (39-58) who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated ...
