Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 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 results; the aim of this review, therefore, was to examine the recognized effects of foot orthoses on ...

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1983
In brief: Foot orthoses can be used to correct malalignment problems that contribute to injuries to athletes. There are three basic types of orthoses: soft, semiflexible, and rigid. Soft orthoses are often temporary and are used until it can be determined whether they can alleviate pain. For some people, soft supports are all that are necessary.

Prostheses and Orthoses for the Foot and Ankle
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1988The general nature and function of the AFO has been presented. These devices encompass the foot and leg crossing the ankle joint. They may insert into the shoe or attach to the shoe. The more recent AFOs are made of polypropylene and were formerly composed of steel. The indications for an AFO are for a basically ambulatory patient with problems walking,

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 ...

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 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.

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 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 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 ...
