Comparison of pressure distribution between Prefabricated and Custom-made Solid Ankle Foot Orthoses
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, foot pressures were measured in 13 healthy people while walking with custom-made Solid AFO (MAFO) and prefabricated Solid AFO (PAFO). Peak pressures (PP) were calculated for 10 regions in plantar surface using pedar-x system and in 5 regions between calf and AFO by pliance-x system. The findings indicate that PP in heel, heel side/ankle, and medial calf shell strap regions were reduced in the MAFO compared to the PAFO. While in the mid foot, first to fifth metatarsal, hallux, second toe, toes 3–5 in addition, in the medial and lateral calf shell and lateral calf shell strap regions there was no significant difference in PP between AFOs.

Background and Objectives: Among the foot orthoses prescribed to improve postural control in chronic ankle instability, foot orthoses designed to affect both types of mechanical and functional instability have a limited research background. In the present study, a type of foot orthosis named the custom mold with a raised ridge around the perimeter was designed, and manufactured, and its effect ...
متن کاملContoured, prefabricated foot orthoses demonstrate comparable mechanical properties to contoured, customised foot orthoses: a plantar pressure study
BACKGROUND Foot orthoses have been demonstrated to be effective in the management of a range of conditions, but there is debate as to the benefits of customised foot orthoses over less expensive, prefabricated devices. METHODS In a randomised, cross-over trial, 15 flat-footed participants aged between 18 and 45 years were provided with semi-rigid, customised orthoses and semi-rigid, contoured...
متن کاملDesign, development and biomechanical evaluation of a prefabricated anti pronation foot orthosis
Background Custom made foot orthoses remain the ‘gold standard’ because the orthotic geometry is tailored to each patient’s foot. However, due to their reduced cost, in some contexts there has been an increasing preference for prefabricated orthoses. Research has failed to identify major differences between the two types of orthosis [1-4]. This project aimed to design, develop and evaluate a ne...
