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

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 rehabilitation—what's new
Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2004Foot orthoses have been effective in the treatment of a variety of sport-related foot conditions. Although their use is well-established in clinical practice, many of the orthoses have not been evaluated in experimental conditions. Of the clinical studies that have examined the biomechanical changes associated with their use, many do not have ...

The Foot, 1995
then there are a wide range of devices which are foot orthoses. This range would include footwear with adaptions, ‘simple’ insoles and pads and the rigid foot orthoses produced from casts of the foot. It is the latter of these on which this article concentrates as it is these orthoses which suffer from a general lack of understanding of their ...

Foot Orthoses for the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis
Foot & Ankle International, 2006Background: The literature suggests mechanical interventions such as foot orthoses and night splints are effective in reducing pain from plantar fasciitis. There is, however, a lack of controlled trials. We studied the effects of foot orthoses and night splints, alone or combined, in a prospective, randomized trial with 1-year followup. Methods: Forty-

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 ...
