The arch support insoles show benefits to people with flatfoot on stance time, cadence, plantar pressure and contact area

PLoS ONE, 2020
Background Pes planus (flatfoot) is a common deformity characterized by the midfoot arch collapses during walking. As the midfoot is responsible for shock absorption, persons with flatfoot experience increased risk of injuries such as thumb valgus ...

Analyzing the Thermal Characteristics of Three Lining Materials for Plantar Orthotics

Sensors
Introduction: The choice of materials for covering plantar orthoses or wearable insoles is often based on their hardness, breathability, and moisture absorption capacity, although more due to professional preference than clear scientific criteria.

Textured insoles affect the plantar pressure distribution while elite rowers perform on an indoor rowing machine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
During rowing, foot positioning on the foot stretcher is critical to optimise muscle force transmission and boat propulsion. Following the beneficial effects of textured insoles on gait and balance, this study aims at investigating whether passive ...

Smart insole-based analysis of gait biomechanics for insoles in patients with flatfoot.

Gait & Posture
BACKGROUND Assessing the effect of insoles on gait biomechanics and foot comfort remains challenging. Our novel in-insole-type wearable sensor device (smart insole) enables accurate quantitative evaluation of gait parameters without affecting the subject'

Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...
