Footwear interventions, including shoe insoles and foot orthoses, have the capacity to
enhance balance control and gait in older people. This review assessed the evidence for the …

Background: Foot orthoses are used to optimize lower extremity function and can improve
postural stability by enhancing the afferent somatosensory feedback available to the central …

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 …

In previous studies, the influence of plantar sensation has been examined using various
textured surfaces with different stiffness materials to assess static balance. This study …

Asymmetry of standing balance and gait is common in individuals with neurological
disorders, and achieving symmetrical stance and gait is an important goal of rehabilitation …

Objectives To investigate the immediate effects of textured insoles on balance and gait in
people with multiple sclerosis (MS), and to explore any effects after 2 weeks of wear. Study …

Background Balance and gait deficits are common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Physical interventions directed at improving balance and walking abilities have been …

Introduction: Impaired somatosensation is common in older adults and contributes to age-
related loss of mobility function. However, little is known about whether somatosensation at …

The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to investigate if using textured or
other types of stimulating insoles improve gait characteristics and balance/postural control in …
