[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review of the literature
on the effect of different insoles on postural balance.[Subjects and Methods] A systematic …

Background Standing on textured materials can improve static balance, potentially by
modulating somatosensory inputs from the soles of the feet. Research question To …

Background: standing on textured surfaces or wearing textured shoe insoles can alter
balance performance. This evidence, although inconclusive, offers a potential intervention …

Covering every aspect of the process, this book introduces the design, development,
manufacturing, and marketing of footwear. It also presents a comprehensive discussion of …

Core strengthening and stability exercises are fundamental for any conditioning training
program. Although surface electromyography (sEMG) is used to quantify muscle activity …

A significant predictor of falls in the elderly population is attributed to postural instability.
Thus, it is important to identify and implement practical clinical interventions to enhance …

Background Evidence suggests that textured insoles can alter gait and standing balance by
way of enhanced plantar tactile stimulation. However, to date, this has not been explored in …

BACKGROUND: Stability is often described to be static (quiet standing) and dynamic
(maintaining a stable position while undertake a prescribed movement). Many researchers …

Background: Previous studies have suggested that orthoses with different constructions
could alter gait parameters in flexible flatfoot. However, there is less evidence about the …

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of different types of insoles on postural
stability in older adults. Four types of commercially available insoles were selected including …
