“…Following screening, nine full‐text articles were assessed for eligibility of which three were excluded. The remaining six studies were deemed suitable for inclusion [4, 7, 17–20] (Figure 1). Five of the studies investigated the use of foot orthoses [7, 17–20] and one study investigated the use of in‐shoe wedges [4].…”

“…The quality of the six studies varied, with Quality Index scores ranging from 7 to 10 out of a possible 14 (Table 2). Three of the six studies did not report actual probability values [18–20], only one study attempted to blind participants [7] and no study blinded the assessors [4, 7, 17–20]. Two of the studies were judged as performing analysis that was unplanned [19, 20], while it was unclear if this was the case with one other study [4].…”

BackgroundThe use of foot orthoses and in-shoe wedges in cycling are largely based on theoretical benefits and anecdotal evidence. This review aimed to systematically collect all published research on this topic, critically evaluate the methods and summarise the findings.MethodsStudy inclusion criteria were: all empirical studies that evaluated the effects of foot orthoses or in-shoe wedges on cycling; outcome measures that investigated physiological parameters, kinematics and kinetics of the lower limb, and power; and, published in English. Studies were located by data-base searching (Medline, CINAHL, Embase and SPORTDiscus) and hand-searching in February 2014. Selected studies were assessed for methodological quality using a modified Quality Index. Data were synthesised descriptively. Meta-analysis was not performed as the included studies were not sufficiently homogeneous to provide a meaningful summary.ResultsSix studies were identified as meeting the eligibility criteria. All studies were laboratory-based and used a repeated measures design. The quality of the studies varied, with Quality Index scores ranging from 7 to 10 out of 14. Five studies investigated foot orthoses and one studied in-shoe wedges. Foot orthoses were found to increase contact area in the midfoot, peak pressures under the hallux and were perceived to provide better arch support, compared to a control. With respect to physiological parameters, contrasting findings have been reported regarding the effect foot orthoses have on oxygen consumption. Further, foot orthoses have been shown to not provide effects on lower limb kinematics and perceived comfort. Both foot orthoses and in-shoe wedges have been shown to provide no effect on power.ConclusionIn general, there is limited high-quality research on the effects foot orthoses and in-shoe wedges provide during cycling. At present, there is some evidence that during cycling foot orthoses: increase contact area under the foot and increase plantar pressures under the hallux, but provide no gains in power. Based on available evidence, no definitive conclusions can be made about the effects foot orthoses have on lower limb kinematics and oxygen consumption, and the effect in-shoe wedges have on power during cycling. Future well-designed studies on this topic are warranted.

“…Die Entstehung von Überlastungsbeschwerden wird einer nicht optimalen Position auf dem Rad zugeschrieben [8,9]. In Reviews werden zwar Maßnahmen zur Reduktion von überlastungsbedingten Beschwerden vorgeschlagen (Sitzposition optimieren [9], Schuh-Pedal-Interface optimieren [8], Fußposition ändern, um Bewegungsablauf zu optimieren [10][11][12]). Allerdings gibt es keine Studien, welche die Effektivität dieser Optimierungsstrategien zur Reduktion von Beschwerden oder deren Präventionspotenzial im Längsschnitt überprüfen [13].…”
