The Effects of Transverse Arch Insole Application on Body Stability in Subject with Flat Foot

Background The most commonly applied therapeutic intervention is foot orthosis (insole or wedge) for arch support. However, the effect of these varies and remains controversial. Most studies were that investigated muscle activity insole application, there was no information on what kind recovery it had functionally. Purpose purpose this study to investigate transverse lower extremity kinematics in subject with flat feet during one-leg standing. Study design A cross-sectional Methods Fifteen young women five men participated study. Participants performed one leg standing between without During standing, movements (vertical/horizontal displacement knee/ankle joints) video-recorded then analyzed using Kinovea software. paired t-test used compare characteristics insole. Results use a significantly decreased vertical horizontal knee ankle (p<0.05). Conclusions Our effects support significant differences extremities joints). Therefore, confirmed supporting when treating managing subjects can reduce unnecessary increase stability body extremities.
