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 …

[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 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 …

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 …

Due to changes in foot morphology and the occurrence of foot deformities and foot pain with
ageing, older people frequently wear ill-fitting shoes. This can lead to discomfort and …

Background Over 1 in 3 older people with diabetes sustain a fall each year. Postural
instability has been identified as independent risk factor for falls within people with Diabetic …

Introduction: Speech sound disorder is one of the most prevalent developmental
communication disorders affecting approximately 8.7 percent of school-age children …

Systematic reviews of balance control have tended to only focus on the effects of single
lower-limb stimulation strategies, and a current limitation is the lack of comparison between …

Background In recent years, fall prevention in older adults has received considerable
attention in healthcare. Among many interventions, insoles are considered cost-effective and …
